Section 6.     Right of the Holders to Convert.

 

(a)            Subject to the terms of Section 8(f), each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, subject to the conversion procedures set forth in Section 8, to convert (an “Optional Conversion”) each share of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock at any time into (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the Original Issue Price divided by (B) the Conversion Price as of the applicable Conversion Date plus (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares as set out in Section 8(e). The right of Optional Conversion may be exercised as to all or any portion of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock from time to time; provided, however, that, in each case, no right of Optional Conversion may be exercised by a Holder in respect of fewer than 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (unless such conversion relates to all shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder or all shares of Series A Preferred Stock that may be converted in compliance with Section 8(f)).

 

(b)            The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock and Class A Common Stock, solely for issuance upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon the conversion of all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6. Any shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will not be subject to preemptive rights or subscription rights of any other stockholder of the Company.

 

Section 7.     Mandatory Conversion by the Company. (a) Following the day upon which the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Company may elect to convert up to 100% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (to the extent not previously redeemed by the Company) into shares of Class A Common Stock (the election to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7, a “Mandatory Conversion”, and the date selected by the Company for any Mandatory Conversion pursuant to this Section 7, the “Mandatory Conversion Date”). In the case of a Mandatory Conversion, each share of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding that is to be converted pursuant to such Mandatory Conversion shall be converted into (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient of (1) the Original Issue Price with respect to such share of Series A Preferred Stock as of the Mandatory Conversion Date divided by (2) the Conversion Price of such share in effect as of the Mandatory Conversion Date plus (B) cash in lieu of fractional shares as set out in Section 8(e).

 

9 

 

 

(b)            Notice of Mandatory Conversion. If the Company elects to effect a Mandatory Conversion, the Company shall provide notice of a Mandatory Conversion to each Holder (such notice, a “Notice of Mandatory Conversion”). The Mandatory Conversion Date selected by the Company shall be no less than five (5) Business Days and no more than twenty (20) Business Days after the date on which the Company provides the Notice of Mandatory Conversion to the Holders. The Notice of Mandatory Conversion shall state, as appropriate:

 

(i)            the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder that are subject to the Mandatory Conversion;

 

(ii)            the Mandatory Conversion Date selected by the Company; and

 

(iii)            the Conversion Rate as in effect on the Mandatory Conversion Date, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to such Holder upon conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder and, if applicable, the cash in lieu of fractional shares to be paid thereon.

 

Section 8.     Conversion Procedures and Effect of Conversion. (a) Conversion Procedure. A Holder must do each of the following in order to receive shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8:

 

(i)            in the case of an Optional Conversion, complete and manually sign the conversion notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”), and deliver such notice to the Company; provided, however, that a Conversion Notice may be conditional on the completion of a Change of Control or other corporate transaction as such Holder may specify;

 

(ii)            deliver to the Company the certificate or certificates (if any) representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted;

 

(iii)            if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents; and

 

(iv)            if required, pay any stock transfer, documentary, stamp or similar taxes not payable by the Company pursuant to Section 17.

 

The foregoing clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) shall be conditions to the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock to the Holders in the event of a Mandatory Conversion pursuant to Section 7 (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not the Mandatory Conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock on the Mandatory Conversion Date).

 

The “Conversion Date” means (A) with respect to an Optional Conversion pursuant to Section 6(a), the date on which such Holder complies with the procedures in this Section 8 (including the satisfaction of any conditions to conversion set forth in the Conversion Notice) and (B) with respect to Mandatory Conversion pursuant to Section 7, the Mandatory Conversion Date.

 

10 

 

 

(b)            Effect of Conversion. Effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date applicable to any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Participating Dividends shall no longer accrue or be declared on any such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and on conversion, such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding.

 

(c)            Record Holder of Underlying Securities as of Conversion Date. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Class A Common Stock and, to the extent applicable, cash on a Conversion Date shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such shares of Class A Common Stock and, to the extent applicable, cash as of the close of business on such Conversion Date. As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion Date and compliance by the applicable Holder with the relevant procedures contained in Section 8 (and in any event no later than three (3) Trading Days thereafter), the Company shall issue the number of whole shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion (and deliver payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares as set out in Section 8(e)). Such delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock shall be made, at the option of the Company, in certificated form or by book-entry. Any such certificate or certificates shall be delivered by the Company to the appropriate Holder on a book-entry basis or by mailing certificates evidencing the shares to the Holders at their respective addresses as set forth in the Conversion Notice (in the case of an Optional Conversion) or in the records of the Company (in the case of a Mandatory Conversion). In the event that a Holder shall not by written notice designate the name in which shares of Class A Common Stock (and payments of cash in lieu of fractional shares) to be delivered upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock should be registered or paid, or the manner in which such shares and cash should be delivered, the Company shall be entitled to register and deliver such shares, and make such payment, in the name of the Holder and in the manner shown on the records of the Company.

 

(d)            No Adjustment. No adjustment to shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted on a Conversion Date or to the shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable to the Holders upon the conversion thereof shall be made in respect of dividends or other distributions payable to holders of the Class A Common Stock as of any date prior to the close of business on such Conversion Date (it being understood that the foregoing shall not limit any Holder’s right to receive Participating Dividends payable prior to such time or the operation of Section 10(a) in respect of events occurring prior to such time). Until the Conversion Date with respect to any share of Series A Preferred Stock has occurred, such share of Series A Preferred Stock will remain outstanding and will be entitled to all of the powers, designations, preferences and other rights provided herein.

 

(e)            Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock will be delivered to the Holders upon conversion. In lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable, the Holders will be entitled to receive, at the Company’s sole discretion, either (i) an amount in cash equal to the fraction of a share of Class A Common Stock multiplied by the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date or (ii) one (1) additional whole share of Class A Common Stock. To determine whether the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be delivered to a Holder upon the conversion of such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock will include a fractional share, such determination shall be based on the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock of such Holder that are being converted on any single Conversion Date.

 

11 

 

 

(f)            Restriction on Conversions.

 

(i)            Limitation on Conversion. Notwithstanding anything in this Certificate of Designations to the contrary, unless and until the Requisite Stockholder Approval (to the extent and only to the extent required under the listing rules of NASDAQ) is obtained, the Holders shall not have the right to acquire shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the Company shall not be required to issue shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, in excess of the Share Cap (the “Conversion Restriction”). Any purported delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any Series A Preferred Stock will be void and have no effect to the extent, and only to the extent, that such delivery would result in issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Share Cap in violation of the listing rules of Nasdaq. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any conversion following the six-month anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, in the case of a conversion pursuant to Section 6, Section 7 or this Section 8, the Holder or the Company, as applicable, may request a conversion of a number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that would result in the issuance of shares that, but for the Conversion Restriction, would exceed the Share Cap; provided, that, in lieu of any shares of Class A Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon conversion that would, but for the Conversion Restriction, exceed the Share Cap, the Company shall instead deliver to the requisite Holder an amount of cash per share of such Class A Common Stock equal to the VWAP per share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date (such payment, a “Cash Payment”), payable within not more than thirty (30) days following the applicable Conversion Date (such date, the “Cash Payment Deadline”); provided, however, that the Holder may not request the conversion of shares in excess of the Share Cap prior to the earlier to occur of (A) the Restricted Period Termination Date (as such term is defined in the Investment Agreement) and (B) if any, a Restricted Period Early Termination Event (as such term is defined in the Investment Agreement) following which the transfer restrictions in Section 5.3(a) of the Investment Agreement are not applicable to 100% of the Prohibited Shares (as such term is defined in the Investment Agreement) (following which the Holder may request conversion of shares that would, but for the Conversion Restriction, exceed the Share Cap, which shall be treated in accordance with the forgoing proviso); provided, further, that, for any conversion that would, but for the Conversion Restriction, exceed the Share Cap that is in connection with a Change of Control, in lieu of the purchase price per share payable in accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall instead deliver to the requisite Holder, at the same time as such consideration is delivered to the holders of Class A Common Stock, the consideration received by the holders of Class A Common Stock in respect thereof, and if such payment is in violation of the Nasdaq listing rules applicable to the Company, the Company shall instead deliver to the Holder converting shares in excess of the Share Cap that would be in violation of the Nasdaq listing rules cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such consideration.

 

(ii)            Covenant to Seek the Requisite Stockholder Approval. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval, including by seeking such approval, if not previously obtained, at each regular annual meeting of its stockholders occurring after the first Company Stockholders’ Meeting (as such term is defined in the Investment Agreement) and endorsing its approval in the related proxy materials. The Company will promptly notify the Holders if the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained.

 

12 

 

 

(iii)            Cash Dividends Upon Default of Cash Payment Obligations. If the Company fails to make any required Cash Payment by the required Cash Payment Deadline on any share of Series A Preferred Stock, then the Holder thereof will be entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends on each such share at a rate per annum of 4.00% on the Original Issuance Price (such dividends, “Default Cash Dividends”). Default Cash Dividends, if any, shall accumulate on a daily basis from, and including, the Cash Payment Deadline to, but excluding, the date upon which the required Cash Payment is made (whether or not there shall be earnings or funds of the Company legally available for the payment of Default Cash Dividends or the Company declares the payment of Default Cash Dividends). Default Cash Dividends, if any, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 31 and December 31 of each year to the applicable Holder as it appears on the Company’s Register at the close of business on the March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 preceding the applicable payment date. Default Cash Dividends, if any, payable for any period less than a full quarterly dividend period (based upon the number of days elapsed during the period) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

 

Section 9.     Change of Control.

 

(a)            Change of Control Notice. On or before the twentieth (20th) Business Day prior to the date on which the Company anticipates consummating a Change of Control (or, if later, promptly after the Company discovers that a Change of Control may occur), a written notice shall be sent by or on behalf of the Company to the Holders as they appear in the records of the Company, which notice shall set forth a description of the anticipated Change of Control and contain the date on which the Change of Control is anticipated to be effected (or, if applicable, the date on which a Schedule TO or other schedule, form or report disclosing a Change of Control was filed).

 

(b)            Conversion Right. Prior to the consummation of any Change of Control, each Holder shall be entitled, subject to Section 8(f), to exercise an Optional Conversion in respect of any and all of its Series A Preferred Stock prior to or conditioned upon such Change of Control.

 

Section 10.      Anti-Dilution Adjustments. (a) Adjustments. The Conversion Rate will be subject to adjustment, without duplication, upon the occurrence of the following events, except that the Company shall not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock participate, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Class A Common Stock and solely as a result of holding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in any transaction described in this Section 10, without having to convert their Series A Preferred Stock, as if they held a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate multiplied by the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holders:

 

(i)            The issuance of Class A Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of Class A Common Stock, or a subdivision or combination (including, without limitation, a stock split or a reverse stock split) of Class A Common Stock or a reclassification of Class A Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares of Class A Common Stock, in which event the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

13 

 

 

CR1 = CR0 x (OS1 / OS0)

 

where,

 

CR0     =     the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to (i) the close of business on (i) the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification;

 

CR1     =     the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after (i) the close of business on (i) the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification;

 

OS0     =     the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on (i) the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification; and

 

OS1     =     the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, the completion of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification.

 

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (i) shall be effective immediately after the close of business on (i) the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. If any such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification is announced or declared but does not occur, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board announces that such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification shall not occur to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification had not been declared.

 

(ii)            The dividend, distribution or other issuance to all or substantially all holders of Class A Common Stock of rights (other than rights, options or warrants distributed in connection with a stockholder rights plan (in which event the provisions of Section 10(a)(v) shall apply)), options or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock for a period expiring forty-five (45) days or less from the date of issuance thereof, at a price per share that is less than the Current Market Price as of the Record Date for such issuance, in which event the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

 

CR1 = CR0 x [(OS0+X)] / (OS0+Y)

 

where,

 

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or other issuance;

 

CR1 = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or other issuance;

 

14 

 

 

OS0 = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or other issuance;

 

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

 

Y = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the Current Market Price as of the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or other issuance.

 

For purposes of this clause (ii), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to purchase the Class A Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the Current Market Price as of the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants, and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be the Fair Market Value thereof.

 

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (ii) shall become effective immediately following the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or other issuance. In the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board publicly announced its decision not to issue such rights, options or warrants to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution or issuance had not been declared. To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Class A Common Stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights, options or warrants upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the dividend, distribution or other issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually delivered.

 

(iii)            The Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Class A Common Stock (other than for cash in lieu of fractional shares), shares of any class of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, assets, other property or securities, but excluding (A) dividends or distributions referred to in Section 10(a)(i) or Section 10(a)(ii) hereof; (B) Distribution Transactions as to which Section 10(a)(iv) shall apply; (C) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash; and (D) rights, options or warrants distributed in connection with a stockholder rights plan as to which Section 10(a)(v) shall apply (any of such shares of its Capital Stock, indebtedness, assets or property that are not so excluded are hereinafter called the “Distributed Property”), then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

CR1 = CR0 x [SP0 / (SP0 - FMV)]

 

where,

 

CR0     =     the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

 

15 

 

 

CR1     =        the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

 

SP0     =        the Current Market Price as of the Record Date for such dividend or distribution; and

 

FMV  =        the Fair Market Value of the portion of Distributed Property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Class A Common Stock on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that, if FMV is equal or greater than SP0, then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, the Company shall distribute to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock on the date the applicable Distributed Property is distributed to holders of Class A Common Stock, but without requiring such holder to convert its shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder, the amount of Distributed Property such holder would have received had such holder owned a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution

 

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. If any such dividend or distribution is declared but does not occur, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board announces that such dividend or distribution shall not occur to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

 

(iv)            The Company effects a Distribution Transaction, in which case the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the Distribution Transaction shall be increased based on the following formula:

 

CR1 = CR0 x [(FMV + MP0) / MP0]

 

where,

 

CR0     =          the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the effective date of the Distribution Transaction;

 

CR1     =          the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the effective date of the Distribution Transaction;

 

FMV  =           the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average prices for a share of the capital stock or other interest distributed to holders of Class A Common Stock on the principal United States securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such capital stock or other interest trades, as reported by Bloomberg (or, if Bloomberg ceases to publish such price, any successor service chosen by the Company) in respect of the period from the open of trading on the relevant Trading Day until the close of trading on such Trading Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market price of one (1) share of such capital stock or other interest on such Trading Day determined, using a volume-weighted average method, as mutually agreed between the Company and the Holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock or, in the absence of such agreement, as determined by an Independent Financial Advisor retained for such purpose by the Company), for each of the ten (10) consecutive full Trading Days commencing with, and including, the effective date of the Distribution Transaction; and

 

16 

 

 

MP0     =        the arithmetic average of the VWAP per share of Class A Common Stock for each of the ten (10) consecutive full Trading Days commencing on, and including, the effective date of the Distribution Transaction

 

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately following the close of business on the effective date of the Distribution Transaction. If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required under this Section 10(a)(iv), delivery of any additional shares of Class A Common Stock that may be deliverable upon conversion as a result of an adjustment required under this Section 10(a)(iv) shall be delayed only to the extent necessary in order to complete the calculations provided for in this Section 10(a)(iv).

 

(v)            If the Company has a stockholder rights plan in effect with respect to the Class A Common Stock on any Conversion Date, upon conversion of any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, Holders of such shares will receive, in addition to the applicable number of shares of Class A Common Stock, the rights under such rights plan relating to such Class A Common Stock, unless, prior to such Conversion Date, the rights have (i) become exercisable or (ii) separated from the shares of Class A Common Stock (the first of such events to occur, a “Trigger Event”), in which case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted, effective automatically at the time of such Trigger Event, as if the Company had made a distribution of such rights to all holders of the Class A Common Stock as described in Section 10(a)(ii) (without giving effect to the forty-five (45)-day limit on the exercisability of rights, options or warrants ordinarily subject to such Section 10(a)(ii)), subject to appropriate readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights prior to the exercise, deemed exercise or exchange thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any such stockholder rights are exchanged by the Company for shares of Class A Common Stock or other property or securities, the Conversion Rate shall be appropriately readjusted as if such stockholder rights had not been issued, but the Company had instead issued such shares of Class A Common Stock or other property or securities as a dividend or distribution of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 10(a)(i) or Section 10(a)(iii), as applicable.

 

To the extent that such rights are not exercised prior to their expiration, termination or redemption, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the occurrence of the Trigger Event been made on the basis of the issuance of, and the receipt of the exercise price with respect to, only the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually issued pursuant to such rights.

 

17 

 

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10(a)(v), no adjustment shall be required to be made to the Conversion Rate with respect to any Holder which is, or is an “affiliate” or “associate” of, an “acquiring person” under such stockholder rights plan or with respect to any direct or indirect transferee of such Holder who receives Series A Preferred Stock in such transfer after the time such Holder becomes, or its affiliate or associate becomes, such an “acquiring person.”

 

(b)            Calculation of Adjustments. All adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall be calculated by the Company to the nearest 1/10,000th of one (1) share of Class A Common Stock (or if there is not a nearest 1/10,000th of a share, to the next lower 1/10,000th of a share). No adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be required, unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of the Conversion Rate; provided, however, that any such adjustment that is not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, further, that any such adjustment of less than one percent (1%) that has not been made will be made upon any Conversion Date.

 

(c)            When No Adjustment Required. (i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted for the issuance of Class A Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing, or for the repurchase of Class A Common Stock.

 

(ii)            Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted as a result of the issuance of, the distribution of separate certificates representing, the exercise or redemption of, or the termination or invalidation of, rights pursuant to any stockholder rights plans.

 

(iii)            No adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made:

 

(A)            upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in Class A Common Stock under any plan in which purchases are made at market prices on the date or dates of purchase, without discount, and whether or not the Company bears the ordinary costs of administration and operation of the plan, including brokerage commissions;

 

(B)            upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock or options or rights to purchase such shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or of any employee agreements or arrangements or programs;

 

(C)            upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security;

 

(D)            for dividends or distributions declared or paid to holders of Class A Common Stock in which Holders participate pursuant to Section 4(b); or

 

(E)            for a change solely in the par value of the Class A Common Stock.

 

(d)            Successive Adjustments. After an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 10, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under this Section 10 shall cause an adjustment to each such Conversion Rate as so adjusted.

 

18 

 

 

(e)            Multiple Adjustments. For the avoidance of doubt, if an event occurs that would trigger an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 10 under more than one subsection hereof, such event, to the extent fully taken into account in a single adjustment, shall not result in multiple adjustments hereunder; provided, however, that if more than one subsection of this Section 10 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment.

 

(f)            Tax Adjustments. The Company may, but shall not be required to, make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by this Section 10, as the Board considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of shares of Company stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reason.

 

(g)            Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as provided under this Section 10, the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires such adjustment (or if the Company is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming so aware) or the date the Company makes an adjustment pursuant to Section 10(f):

 

(i)            compute the adjusted applicable Conversion Rate in accordance with this Section 10; and

 

(ii)            (A) in the event that the Company shall give notice or make a public announcement to the holders of Class A Common Stock of any action of the type described in Section 10 (but only if the action of the type described in Section 10 would result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price or a change in the type of securities or property to be delivered upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock), the Company shall, at the time of such notice or announcement, and in the case of any action that would require the fixing of a record date, at least ten (10) days prior to such record date, give notice to each Holder by mail, first-class postage prepaid, at the address appearing in the Register, which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action, the approximate date on which such action is to take place and the facts with respect to such action as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect on the Conversion Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property, which shall be deliverable upon conversion or redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock or (B) in the event that the Company does not give notice or make a public announcement as set forth in subclause (A) of this clause (ii), the Company shall, as soon as practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to one or more provisions of Section 10 (or if the Company is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as practicable after becoming so aware), provide, or cause to be provided, a written notice to the Holders of the occurrence of such event, in the same manner and with the same detail as the notice set forth in subclause (A) of this clause (ii); and

 

19 

 

 

(iii)            whenever the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to one or more provisions of Section 10, the Company shall, as soon as practicable following the determination of the revised Conversion Price, (A) file at the principal office of the Company, a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment, the Conversion Price that shall be in effect after such adjustment and the method by which the adjustment to the Conversion Price was determined and (B) cause a copy of such statement to be sent in the manner set forth in subclause (A) of clause (ii) to each Holder.

 

Section 11.     Adjustment for Reorganization Events.

 

(a)            Reorganization Events. In the event of:

 

(i)            any reclassification, statutory exchange, merger, consolidation or other similar business combination of the Company with or into another Person, in each case, pursuant to which at least a majority of the Class A Common Stock is changed or converted into, or exchanged for, cash, securities or other property of the Company or another Person;

 

(ii)            any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of all or substantially all the property and assets of the Company, in each case pursuant to which the Class A Common Stock is converted into cash, securities or other property; or

 

(iii)            any statutory exchange of securities of the Company with another Person (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition) or reclassification, recapitalization or reorganization of the Class A Common Stock into other securities;

 

(each of which is referred to as a “Reorganization Event” and the cash, securities or other property into which the Class A Common Stock is changed, converted or exchanged, the “Exchange Property” and the amount and kind of Exchange Property that a holder of one (1) share of Class A Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Reorganization Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or other property), an “Exchange Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, from and after the effective time of such Reorganization Event, without the consent of the Holders, each share of Series A Preferred Stock will remain outstanding (unless converted in accordance with Section 11(d)) and (I) the consideration due upon conversion of any Series A Preferred Stock will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Class A Common Stock in Section 10 or in this Section 11, or in any related definitions, were instead a reference to the same number of Exchange Property Units; (II) for purposes of Sections 6 and 7, each reference to any number of shares of Class A Common Stock in such Sections (or in any related definitions) will instead be deemed to be a reference to the same number of Exchange Property Units (and the terms of any conversion shall be based upon the Original Issue Price at the time of such subsequent conversion); and (III) other references to “Class A Common Stock” shall refer to the Exchange Property with appropriate adjustment to preserve, to the greatest extent possible (so long as there is no detrimental effect to the Company), the economic and other rights in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock granted by this Certificate of Designations and the Investment Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply if such Holder is a Person with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (any such Person, a “Constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person, to the extent such Reorganization Event provides for different treatment of Class A Common Stock held by such Persons. If the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event is not the same for each share of Class A Common Stock held immediately prior to such Reorganization Event by a Person (other than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof), then for the purpose of this Section 11(a), the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon conversion following such Reorganization Event will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Class A Common Stock.

 

20 

 

 

(b)            Successive Reorganization Events. The above provisions of this Section 11 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events.

 

(c)            Reorganization Event Notice. The Company (or any successor) shall, no less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date of any Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the Holders of such occurrence of such event and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that constitutes the Exchange Property. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of this Section 11.

 

(d)            Reorganization Event Agreements. The Company shall not enter into any agreement for a transaction constituting a Reorganization Event, unless (i) such agreement provides for or does not interfere with or prevent (as applicable) conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into the Exchange Property in a manner that is consistent with and gives effect to this Section 11, and (ii) to the extent that the Company is not the surviving corporation in such Reorganization Event or will be dissolved in connection with such Reorganization Event, proper provision shall be made in the agreements governing such Reorganization Event for the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into stock of the Person surviving such Reorganization Event or such other continuing entity in such Reorganization Event.

 

(e)            Change of Control. For the sake of clarity, if a Reorganization Event constitutes a Change of Control, then Section 9 shall take precedence over this Section 11 to the extent there is any inconsistency between such sections.

 

Section 12.     Adverse Changes; Voting Rights.

 

(a)            So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote required by applicable law, the Company may not take any of the following actions (including by means of merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) without the prior affirmative vote or written consent from the Holders of at least a majority of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class: amend, alter, repeal or otherwise modify (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation (including this Certificate of Designations) in a manner that would adversely affect the powers, preferences, rights or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(b)            Each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock will have one (1) vote per share on any matter on which Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote separately as a class, whether at a meeting or by written consent.

 

21 

 

 

(c)            For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, the Holders shall have the exclusive consent and voting rights set forth in Section 12(a) and may take action or consent to any action with respect to such rights without a meeting by delivering a consent in writing or by electronic transmission of the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock entitled to cast not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize, take or consent to such action at a meeting of stockholders.

 

(d)            Except as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise required by Delaware General Corporation Law, the Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights.

 

Section 13.     Status of Shares. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner, whether by redemption, repurchase or otherwise or upon any conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Class A Common Stock, shall thereupon be retired and shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock of the Company undesignated as to series, and may be redesignated as any series of preferred stock of the Company and reissued.

 

Section 14.     Term. Except as expressly provided in this Certificate of Designations, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable or otherwise mature and the term of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be perpetual.

 

Section 15.     Creation of Capital Stock. The Board, without the vote of the Holders, may authorize and issue additional shares of Capital Stock of the Company.

 

Section 16.     No Sinking Fund. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be subject to or entitled to the operation of a retirement or sinking fund.

 

Section 17.     Taxes. (a) Transfer Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all stock transfer, documentary, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities issued on account of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant hereto or certificates representing such shares or securities. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities in a name other than the name in which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to which such shares or other securities are issued or delivered were registered, or in respect of any payment to any Person other than a payment to the registered holder thereof, and shall not be required to make any such issuance, delivery or payment, unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance, delivery or payment has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

 

(b)            Withholding. All payments and distributions (or deemed distributions) on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (and on the shares of Class A Common Stock received upon their conversion) shall be subject to withholding and backup withholding of taxes to the extent required by law, subject to applicable exemptions, and amounts withheld, if any, shall be treated as received by the Holders. The Company shall use commercially reasonably efforts to notify the Holders of any amounts expected to be deducted and withheld pursuant to the preceding sentence reasonably prior to the relevant payment date and the basis for such deduction and withholding and shall reasonably cooperate with the applicable Holders to reduce or eliminate any such deductions and withholdings to the extent permitted under applicable law.

 

22 

 

 

(c)            Tax Treatment. The Series A Preferred Stock is intended to be treated as common stock that does not constitute “preferred stock” within the meaning of Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Company shall apply the provisions of this Certificate of Designations consistent with such intention.

 

Section 18.     Notices. All notices referred to herein shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of receipt thereof or three (3) Business Days after the mailing thereof if sent by registered or certified mail (unless first-class mail shall be specifically permitted for such notice under the terms of this Certificate of Designations) with postage prepaid, addressed, (i) if to the Company, to its office at 220 West Germantown Pike, Suite 250, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462 (Attention: General Counsel), or to any transfer or other agent of the Company designated to receive such notice as permitted by this Certificate of Designations; (ii) if to any Holder, to such Holder at the address of such Holder as listed in the Register; or (iii) to such other address as the Company or any such Holder, as the case may be, shall have designated by notice similarly given.

 

Section 19.     Facts Ascertainable. When the terms of this Certificate of Designations refer to a specific agreement or other document to determine the meaning or operation of a provision hereof, the Secretary of the Company shall maintain a copy of such agreement or document at the principal executive offices of the Company and a copy thereof shall be provided free of charge to any Holder who makes a request therefor. The Secretary of the Company shall also maintain a written record of the Issuance Date, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to a Holder and the date of each such issuance, and shall furnish such written record free of charge to any Holder who makes a request therefor.

 

Section 20.     Waiver. Notwithstanding any provision in this Certificate of Designations to the contrary, any provision contained herein and any right of the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock granted hereunder may be waived as to all shares of Series A Preferred Stock (and the Holders thereof) upon the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.

 

Section 21.     Severability. If any term of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth herein is invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, all other terms set forth herein, which can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable term will, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect, and no term herein set forth will be deemed dependent upon any other such term, unless so expressed herein.

 

23 

 

 

Section 22.     No Other Rights. Except as expressly provided in any agreement between a Holder and the Company, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will have no rights, preferences or voting powers, except as provided in this Certificate of Designations or the Certificate of Incorporation or as provided by applicable law.

In the case of a Mandatory Conversion, each share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock then outstanding that is to be converted pursuant to such Mandatory Conversion shall be converted into the number of shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock equal to the quotient of (1) the Original Issue Price with respect to such share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock as of the Mandatory Conversion Date divided by (2) the Preferred Stock Conversion Price of such share in effect as of the Mandatory Conversion Date.

Section 8.      Conversion Procedures and Effect of Conversion. (a) Conversion Procedure. A Holder must do each of the following in order to receive shares Series B-1 Preferred Stock upon conversion of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8:

 

(i)            in the case of an Optional Conversion, complete the conversion notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”), and deliver such notice to the Company; provided, however, that a Conversion Notice may be conditional on the completion of a Change of Control or other corporate transaction as such Holder may specify;

 

(ii)            if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents; and

 

(iii)            if required, pay any stock transfer, documentary, stamp or similar taxes not payable by the Company pursuant to Section 17.

 

The foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii) shall be conditions to the issuance of shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock to the Holders in the event of a Mandatory Conversion pursuant to Section 7 (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not the Mandatory Conversion of the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock on the Mandatory Conversion Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder shall be required to physically surrender any certificate(s) representing the Series  B-2 Preferred Stock to the Company until all shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock represented by such certificate(s) have been converted in full (the “Final Conversion”), in which case the applicable Holder shall surrender such certificate(s) to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days following the final Conversion Date (it being acknowledged and agreed that such surrender shall not be a condition to the Holder’s right to receive shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock upon, or the effectiveness of, such conversion; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to deliver a stock certificate representing shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock issued upon the Final Conversion until the certificate(s) representing the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock so converted by the Holder shall have been surrendered). Delivery of a Conversion Notice with respect to a partial conversion shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original certificate(s) representing such shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock and issuance of a certificate representing the remaining shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock. In accordance with the preceding sentence, upon the written request of the applicable Holder and the surrender of certificate(s) representing shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days of such request, deliver to such Holder certificate(s) (as specified by such Holder in such request) representing such remaining shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock.

 

The “Conversion Date” means (A) with respect to an Optional Conversion pursuant to Section 6(a), the date on which such Holder complies with the procedures in this Section 8 (including the satisfaction of any conditions to conversion set forth in the Conversion Notice) and (B) with respect to Mandatory Conversion pursuant to Section 7, the Mandatory Conversion Date.

 

(b)            Effect of Conversion. Effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date applicable to any shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, Participating Dividends shall no longer accrue or be declared on any such shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, and on conversion, such shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding.

 

11

 

 

(c)            Record Holder of Underlying Securities as of Conversion Date. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Preferred Conversion Shares on a Conversion Date shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such Preferred Conversion Shares (including any fractional shares) as of the time of delivery of the applicable Conversion Notice (or, in the case of a Mandatory Conversion, 8:30 a.m., New York City Time, on the Mandatory Conversion Date). Upon receipt or deemed receipt by the Company of a copy of a Conversion Notice in respect of any Optional Conversion, the Company shall promptly send, via facsimile or electronic mail, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Company's designated transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation to the Transfer Agent shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process the Optional Conversion. In the case of an Optional Conversion, on or before the second (2nd) Business Day (or, if earlier, the end of the Standard Settlement Period) following the date of receipt or deemed receipt by the Company of the Conversion Notice, the Company shall, on or before the Optional Conversion Delivery Deadline, issue and deliver to the Holder or its designee certificates, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, representing the aggregate number of Preferred Conversion Shares (including any fractional Preferred Conversion Shares) to which the Holder shall be entitled. In the case of a Mandatory Conversion, on or before 8:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Conversion Date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder or its designee certificates, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, representing the aggregate number of Preferred Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled (such delivery deadline or the Optional Delivery Deadline, as applicable, being referred to as the "Share Delivery Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as of the applicable Conversion Date, the Transfer Agent is a "qualified custodian" (as defined in Rule 206(4)-2 (or successor thereto) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended), in lieu of the Company's delivering certificates representing the Preferred Conversion Shares issuable upon the applicable conversion, the Transfer Agent (acting as the transfer agent for the Series B-1 Preferred Stock) shall, on or before the Share Delivery Date, electronically credit the aggregate number of shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled by book-entry in the name of the Holder or its designee on the books and records of the Transfer Agent and deliver a statement thereof to the Holder.

 

(d)            No Adjustment. No adjustment to shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock being converted on a Conversion Date or to the shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock deliverable to the Holders upon the conversion thereof shall be made in respect of dividends or other distributions payable to holders of the Class A Common Stock as of any date prior to the close of business on such Conversion Date (it being understood that the foregoing shall not limit any Holder’s right to receive Participating Dividends payable prior to such time or the operation of Section 10(a) in respect of events occurring prior to such time). Until the Conversion Date with respect to any share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock has occurred, such share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock will remain outstanding and will be entitled to all of the powers, designations, preferences and other rights provided herein.

 

12

 

 

(e)            Fractional Shares. In the event that the conversion of Series B-2 Preferred Stock into Preferred Conversion Shares would result in the issuance of fractional shares, the Company shall issue such fractional Preferred Conversion Shares to the applicable Holder.

 

(f)            Restriction on Conversions.

 

(i)            Limitation on Conversion. Notwithstanding anything in this Certificate of Designations to the contrary, unless and until the Requisite Stockholder Approval (to the extent and only to the extent required under the listing rules of NASDAQ) is obtained, the Holders shall not have the right to acquire shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, and the Company shall not be required to issue shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, in excess of the Share Cap (the “Conversion Restriction”). Any purported delivery of shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock upon conversion of any Series B-2 Preferred Stock will be void and have no effect to the extent, and only to the extent, that such delivery would result in issuance of shares of Series B-1 Preferred in excess of the Share Cap in violation of the listing rules of Nasdaq. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any conversion following the six-month anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, in the case of a conversion pursuant to Section 6, Section 7 or this Section 8, the Holder or the Company, as applicable, may request a conversion of a number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock that would result in the issuance of shares that, but for the Conversion Restriction, would exceed the Share Cap; provided, that, in lieu of any shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock otherwise deliverable upon conversion that would, but for the Conversion Restriction, exceed the Share Cap, the Company shall instead deliver to the requisite Holder an amount of cash per share of such Series B-1 Preferred Stock equal to the product of (x) the VWAP per share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date, multiplied by (y) the Series B-1 Preferred Conversion Rate as in effect on such Trading Day (such payment, a “Cash Payment”), payable within not more than thirty (30) days following the applicable Conversion Date (such date, the “Cash Payment Deadline”); provided, however, that the Holder may not request the conversion of shares in excess of the Share Cap prior to the earlier to occur of (A) the Restricted Period Termination Date (as such term is defined in the Investment Agreement) and (B) if any, a Restricted Period Early Termination Event (as such term is defined in the Investment Agreement) following which the transfer restrictions in Section 5.3(a) of the Investment Agreement are not applicable to 100% of the Prohibited Shares (as such term is defined in the Investment Agreement) (following which the Holder may request conversion of shares that would, but for the Conversion Restriction, exceed the Share Cap, which shall be treated in accordance with the forgoing proviso); provided, further, that, for any conversion that would, but for the Conversion Restriction, exceed the Share Cap that is in connection with a Change of Control, in lieu of the price per share payable in accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall instead deliver to the requisite Holder, at the same time as such consideration is delivered to the holders of Class A Common Stock, the consideration received by the holders of Class A Common Stock in respect of each share of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all of the Preferred Conversion Shares in excess of the Share Cap, and if such payment is in violation of the Nasdaq listing rules applicable to the Company, the Company shall instead deliver to the Holder converting shares in excess of the Share Cap that would be in violation of the Nasdaq listing rules cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such consideration.

 

13

 

 

(ii)            Covenant to Seek the Requisite Stockholder Approval. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval, including by seeking such approval, if not previously obtained, at each regular annual meeting of its stockholders occurring after the first Company Stockholders’ Meeting (as such term is defined in the Investment Agreement) and endorsing its approval in the related proxy materials. The Company will promptly notify the Holders if the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained.

 

(iii)            Cash Dividends Upon Default of Cash Payment Obligations. If the Company fails to make any required Cash Payment by the required Cash Payment Deadline on any share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, then the Holder thereof will be entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends on each such share at a rate per annum of 4.00% on the Original Issuance Price (such dividends, “Default Cash Dividends”). Default Cash Dividends, if any, shall accumulate on a daily basis from, and including, the Cash Payment Deadline to, but excluding, the date upon which the required Cash Payment is made (whether or not there shall be earnings or funds of the Company legally available for the payment of Default Cash Dividends or the Company declares the payment of Default Cash Dividends). Default Cash Dividends, if any, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 31 and December 31 of each year to the applicable Holder as it appears on the Company’s Register at the close of business on the March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 preceding the applicable payment date. Default Cash Dividends, if any, payable for any period less than a full quarterly dividend period (based upon the number of days elapsed during the period) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

 

(g)            Legends.

 

(i)            Restrictive Legend. The Holder understands that, except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 6(g)(ii), the certificates representing shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order consistent therewith may be placed against transfer of such certificates):

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION HEREOF MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR AS-SIGNED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, INCLUDING PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO A PRIVATE SALE EFFECTED UNDER SECTION 4(A)(7) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE FORMAL OR INFORMAL SEC INTERPRETATION OR GUIDANCE, SUCH AS A SO-CALLED “4[a](1) AND A HALF” SALE SUBJECT TO THE COMPANY’S AND THE TRANSFER AGENT’S RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER, ENCUMBRANCE, ASSIGNMENT OR OTHER DISPOSITION TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF REASONABLE AND CUSTOMARY CERTIFICATIONS, OPINIONS OF COUNSEL AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM.”

 

14

 

 

(ii)            Removal of Restrictive Legend. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the certificates evidencing the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall not contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in subsection 6(g)(i)): (A) while a registration statement covering the sale or resale of such shares is effective under the Securities Act, subject to the Holder’s delivery to the Company of an undertaking that such Holder will only sell or otherwise transfer such shares pursuant to either registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein (an “Undertaking”), or (B) if the Holder provides customary paperwork to the effect that it has sold such shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1) (without the application of Rule 144(c)(1)) as set forth in customary non-affiliate paperwork provided by the Holder, or (D) if at any time on or after the date that is three months after the Closing Date (as defined in the Investment Agreement) (the “Non-affiliation Date”) the Holder certifies that it is not an Affiliate of the Company and that the Holder’s holding period for the purposes of Rule 144 is at least six (6) months, subject to the Holder’s delivery to the Company of an Undertaking; provided, that each Holder shall be deemed to have given such certification upon each delivery of a Notice of Conversion, unless such Holder otherwise advises the Company in writing, or (E) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) as determined in good faith by counsel to the Company or set forth in a legal opinion delivered by Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP or other nationally recognized counsel to the Holder (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, upon the reasonable request of the Holder, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Non-affiliation Date, or at such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions have been satisfied, if required by the Company’s Transfer Agent, to effect the issuance of the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock without a restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder. If any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met at the time of issuance of any shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, then such shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Non-affiliation Date or at such time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 6(d)(ii), it will, no later than two (2) Trading Days (or, if less, the number of days comprising the Standard Settlement Period) following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Series B-2 Preferred Stock issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder a certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.

 

(iii)           Sale of Unlegended Shares. The removal of any restrictive legends from any securities as set forth in this Section 6 is predicated upon, and the Company’s reliance on, the applicable Holder delivering an Undertaking to the Company; provided that no Holder shall be required to give more than one Undertaking covering the same shares while an Undertaking with respect to such shares remains in effect.

 

15

 

 

(iv)          Underlying Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 8(g) shall not apply to any Preferred Conversion Shares or any shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of any Preferred Conversion Shares.

If the Company delivers notice to the holders of Class A Common Stock, or makes a public announcement or public disclosure, with respect to a Change of Control, the Company shall deliver a copy of such notice, disclosure or announcement (as applicable) to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear in the Register, at the same time as such notice is delivered to the holders of Class A Common Stock or, in the case of a public announcement or public disclosure, on the same date as such announcement or disclosure

 

(b)            Conversion Right. Prior to the consummation of any Change of Control, each Holder shall be entitled, subject to Section 8(f), to exercise an Optional Conversion in respect of any and all of its Series B-2 Preferred Stock prior to or conditioned upon such Change of Control.

 

Section 10.     Anti-Dilution Adjustments. (a) Adjustments. The Conversion Rate will be subject to adjustment, without duplication, upon the occurrence of the following events, except that the Company shall not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock participate, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Class A Common Stock and solely as a result of holding shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, in any transaction described in this Section 10, without having to convert their Series B-2 Preferred Stock, as if they held a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate multiplied by the number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock held by such Holders:

 

(i)            The issuance of Class A Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of Class A Common Stock, or a subdivision or combination (including, without limitation, a stock split or a reverse stock split) of Class A Common Stock or a reclassification of Class A Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares of Class A Common Stock, in which event the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

CR1 = CR0 x (OS1 / OS0)

 

where,

 

CR0      =      the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to (i) the close of business on (i) the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification;

 

CR1      =      the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after (i) the close of business on (i) the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification;

 

OS0      =      the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on (i) the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification; and

 

16

 

 

OS1      =      the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, the completion of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification.

 

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (i) shall be effective immediately after the close of business on (i) the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. If any such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification is announced or declared but does not occur, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board announces that such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification shall not occur to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification had not been declared.

 

(ii)           The dividend, distribution or other issuance to all or substantially all holders of Class A Common Stock of rights (other than rights, options or warrants distributed in connection with a stockholder rights plan (in which event the provisions of Section 10(a)(v) shall apply)), options or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock for a period expiring forty-five (45) days or less from the date of issuance thereof, at a price per share that is less than the Current Market Price as of the Record Date for such issuance, in which event the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

 

CR1 = CR0 x [(OS0+X)] / (OS0+Y)

 

where,

 

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or other issuance;

 

CR1 = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or other issuance;

 

OS0 = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or other issuance;

 

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

 

Y = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the Current Market Price as of the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or other issuance.

 

For purposes of this clause (ii), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to purchase the Class A Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the Current Market Price as of the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants, and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be the Fair Market Value thereof.

 

17

 

 

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (ii) shall become effective immediately following the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or other issuance. In the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board publicly announced its decision not to issue such rights, options or warrants to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution or issuance had not been declared. To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Class A Common Stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights, options or warrants upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the dividend, distribution or other issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually delivered.

 

(iii)          The Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Class A Common Stock (other than for cash in lieu of fractional shares), shares of any class of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, assets, other property or securities, but excluding (A) dividends or distributions referred to in Section 10(a)(i) or Section 10(a)(ii) hereof; (B) Distribution Transactions as to which Section 10(a)(iv) shall apply; (C) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash; and (D) rights, options or warrants distributed in connection with a stockholder rights plan as to which Section 10(a)(v) shall apply (any of such shares of its Capital Stock, indebtedness, assets or property that are not so excluded are hereinafter called the “Distributed Property”), then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

CR1 = CR0 x [SP0 / (SP0 - FMV)]

 

where,

 

CR0      =      the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

 

CR1      =      the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

 

SP0      =      the Current Market Price as of the Record Date for such dividend or distribution; and

 

FMV      =      the Fair Market Value of the portion of Distributed Property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Class A Common Stock on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that, if FMV is equal or greater than SP0, then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, the Company shall distribute to each holder of Series B-2 Preferred Stock on the date the applicable Distributed Property is distributed to holders of Class A Common Stock, but without requiring such holder to convert its shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, in respect of each share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock held by such holder, the amount of Distributed Property such holder would have received had such holder owned a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution

 

18

 

 

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. If any such dividend or distribution is declared but does not occur, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board announces that such dividend or distribution shall not occur to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

 

(iv)          The Company effects a Distribution Transaction, in which case the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the Distribution Transaction shall be increased based on the following formula:

 

CR1 = CR0 x [(FMV + MP0) / MP0]

 

where,

 

CR0      =      the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the effective date of the Distribution Transaction;

 

CR1      =      the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the effective date of the Distribution Transaction;

 

FMV      =      the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average prices for a share of the capital stock or other interest distributed to holders of Class A Common Stock on the principal United States securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such capital stock or other interest trades, as reported by Bloomberg (or, if Bloomberg ceases to publish such price, any successor service chosen by the Company) in respect of the period from the open of trading on the relevant Trading Day until the close of trading on such Trading Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market price of one (1) share of such capital stock or other interest on such Trading Day determined, using a volume-weighted average method, as mutually agreed between the Company and the Holders of a majority of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock or, in the absence of such agreement, as determined by an Independent Financial Advisor retained for such purpose by the Company), for each of the ten (10) consecutive full Trading Days commencing with, and including, the effective date of the Distribution Transaction; and

 

MP0      =      the arithmetic average of the VWAP per share of Class A Common Stock for each of the ten (10) consecutive full Trading Days commencing on, and including, the effective date of the Distribution Transaction

 

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately following the close of business on the effective date of the Distribution Transaction. If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required under this Section 10(a)(iv), delivery of any additional shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock that may be deliverable upon conversion as a result of an adjustment required under this Section 10(a)(iv) shall be delayed only to the extent necessary in order to complete the calculations provided for in this Section 10(a)(iv).

 

19

 

 

(v)          If the Company has a stockholder rights plan in effect with respect to the Class A Common Stock on any Conversion Date, upon conversion of any shares of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, Holders of such shares will receive, in addition to the applicable number of shares of Class A Common Stock, the rights under such rights plan relating to such Class A Common Stock, unless, prior to such Conversion Date, the rights have (i) become exercisable or (ii) separated from the shares of Class A Common Stock (the first of such events to occur, a “Trigger Event”), in which case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted, effective automatically at the time of such Trigger Event, as if the Company had made a distribution of such rights to all holders of the Class A Common Stock as described in Section 10(a)(ii) (without giving effect to the forty-five (45)-day limit on the exercisability of rights, options or warrants ordinarily subject to such Section 10(a)(ii)), subject to appropriate readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights prior to the exercise, deemed exercise or exchange thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any such stockholder rights are exchanged by the Company for shares of Class A Common Stock or other property or securities, the Conversion Rate shall be appropriately readjusted as if such stockholder rights had not been issued, but the Company had instead issued such shares of Class A Common Stock or other property or securities as a dividend or distribution of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 10(a)(i) or Section 10(a)(iii), as applicable.

 

To the extent that such rights are not exercised prior to their expiration, termination or redemption, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the occurrence of the Trigger Event been made on the basis of the issuance of, and the receipt of the exercise price with respect to, only the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually issued pursuant to such rights.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10(a)(v), no adjustment shall be required to be made to the Conversion Rate with respect to any Holder which is, or is an “affiliate” or “associate” of, an “acquiring person” under such stockholder rights plan or with respect to any direct or indirect transferee of such Holder who receives Series B-2 Preferred Stock in such transfer after the time such Holder becomes, or its affiliate or associate becomes, such an “acquiring person.”

 

(b)            Calculation of Adjustments. All adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall be calculated by the Company to the nearest 1/10,000th of one (1) share of Class A Common Stock (or if there is not a nearest 1/10,000th of a share, to the next lower 1/10,000th of a share). No adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be required, unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of the Conversion Rate; provided, however, that any such adjustment that is not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, further, that any such adjustment of less than one percent (1%) that has not been made will be made upon any Conversion Date.

 

(c)            When No Adjustment Required. (i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted for the issuance of Class A Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing, or for the repurchase of Class A Common Stock.

 

20

 

 

(ii)            Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted as a result of the issuance of, the distribution of separate certificates representing, the exercise or redemption of, or the termination or invalidation of, rights pursuant to any stockholder rights plans.

 

(iii)           No adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made:

 

(A)            upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in Class A Common Stock under any plan in which purchases are made at market prices on the date or dates of purchase, without discount, and whether or not the Company bears the ordinary costs of administration and operation of the plan, including brokerage commissions;

 

(B)            upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock or options or rights to purchase such shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or of any employee agreements or arrangements or programs;

 

(C)            upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security;

 

(D)            for dividends or distributions declared or paid to holders of Class A Common Stock in which Holders participate pursuant to Section 4(b); or

 

(E)            for a change solely in the par value of the Class A Common Stock.

 

(d)            Successive Adjustments. After an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 10, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under this Section 10 shall cause an adjustment to each such Conversion Rate as so adjusted.

 

(e)            Multiple Adjustments. For the avoidance of doubt, if an event occurs that would trigger an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 10 under more than one subsection hereof, such event, to the extent fully taken into account in a single adjustment, shall not result in multiple adjustments hereunder; provided, however, that if more than one subsection of this Section 10 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment.

 

(f)            Tax Adjustments. The Company may, but shall not be required to, make such increases in the Conversion Rate and, if applicable, the Preferred Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by this Section 10, as the Board considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of shares of Company stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reason.

 

21

 

 

(g)            Notice of Adjustments. Subject to Section 5.3(c) of the Investment Agreement, whenever the Conversion Rate or, if applicable, the Preferred Conversion Rate is adjusted as provided under this Section 10, the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires such adjustment (or if the Company is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming so aware) or the date the Company makes an adjustment pursuant to Section 10(f):

 

(i)            compute the adjusted applicable Conversion Rate in accordance with this Section 10; and

 

(ii)            in the event that the Company shall give notice to the holders of Class A Common Stock of, or publicly announces or publicly discloses, any action of the type described in Section 10 (but only if the action of the type described in Section 10 would result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price or a change in the type of securities or property to be delivered upon conversion of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock), the Company shall, at the time of such notice, announcement or disclosure, and in the case of any action that would require the fixing of a record date, at least ten (10) days prior to such record date, give notice to each Holder by mail, first-class postage prepaid, at the address appearing in the Register, which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action, the approximate date on which such action is to take place and the facts with respect to such action as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect on the Conversion Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property, which shall be deliverable upon conversion or redemption of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock and the Conversion Shares; and

 

(iii)            whenever the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to one or more provisions of Section 10, the Company shall, as soon as practicable following the determination of the revised Conversion Price (and the resulting Preferred Stock Conversion Price), (A) file at the principal office of the Company, a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment, the Conversion Price (and the Preferred Stock Conversion Price) that shall be in effect after such adjustment and the method by which the adjustment to the Conversion Price (and Preferred Stock Conversion Price) was determined and (B) cause a copy of such statement to be sent in the manner set forth in clause (ii) to each Holder.

 

(h)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an event occurs that would trigger an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 10 also triggers an adjustment to the Series B-1 Conversion Rate, such event, to the extent fully taken into account in the adjustment to the Series B-1 Conversion Rate, shall not result in an adjustment hereunder.

 

Section 11.      Adjustment for Reorganization Events.

 

(a)            Reorganization Events. In the event of:

 

(i)            any reclassification, statutory exchange, merger, consolidation or other similar business combination of the Company with or into another Person, in each case, pursuant to which at least a majority of the Class A Common Stock is changed or converted into, or exchanged for, cash, securities or other property of the Company or another Person;

 

22

 

 

(ii)           any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of all or substantially all the property and assets of the Company, in each case pursuant to which the Class A Common Stock is converted into cash, securities or other property; or

 

(iii)          any statutory exchange of securities of the Company with another Person (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition) or reclassification, recapitalization or reorganization of the Class A Common Stock into other securities;

 

(each of which is referred to as a “Reorganization Event” and the cash, securities or other property into which the Class A Common Stock is changed, converted or exchanged, the “Exchange Property” and the amount and kind of Exchange Property that a holder of one (1) share of Class A Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Reorganization Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or other property), an “Exchange Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, from and after the effective time of such Reorganization Event, without the consent of the Holders, each share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock will remain outstanding (unless converted in accordance with Section 11(d)) and (I) the consideration due upon conversion of any Series B-2 Preferred Stock will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Class A Common Stock in Section 10 or in this Section 11, or in any related definitions, were instead a reference to the same number of Exchange Property Units; (II) for purposes of Sections 6 and 7, each reference to any number of shares of Class A Common Stock in such Sections (or in any related definitions) will instead be deemed to be a reference to the same number of Exchange Property Units (and the terms of any conversion shall be based upon the Original Issue Price at the time of such subsequent conversion); and (III) other references to “Class A Common Stock” shall refer to the Exchange Property with appropriate adjustment to preserve, to the greatest extent possible (so long as there is no detrimental effect to the Company), the economic and other rights in respect of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock granted by this Certificate of Designations and the Investment Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply if such Holder is a Person with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (any such Person, a “Constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person, to the extent such Reorganization Event provides for different treatment of Class A Common Stock held by such Persons. If the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event is not the same for each share of Class A Common Stock held immediately prior to such Reorganization Event by a Person (other than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof), then for the purpose of this Section 11(a), the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon conversion following such Reorganization Event will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Class A Common Stock.

 

(b)            Successive Reorganization Events. The above provisions of this Section 11 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events.

 

23

 

 

(c)            Reorganization Event Notice. Subject to Section 5.3(c) of the Investment Agreement, if the Company (or any successor) delivers notice to the holders of Class A Common Stock, or makes a public announcement or public disclosure, with respect to a Reorganization Event, then, at the same time as such notice is delivered to the holders of Class A Common Stock or, in the case of a public announcement or public disclosure, on the same date as such announcement, the Company shall provide written notice to the Holders of such event and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that constitutes the Exchange Property. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of this Section 11.

 

(d)            Reorganization Event Agreements. The Company shall not enter into any agreement for a transaction constituting a Reorganization Event, unless (i) such agreement provides for or does not interfere with or prevent (as applicable) conversion of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock into the Exchange Property in a manner that is consistent with and gives effect to this Section 11, and (ii) to the extent that the Company is not the surviving corporation in such Reorganization Event or will be dissolved in connection with such Reorganization Event, proper provision shall be made in the agreements governing such Reorganization Event for the conversion of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock into stock of the Person surviving such Reorganization Event or such other continuing entity in such Reorganization Event.

 

(e)            Change of Control. For the sake of clarity, if a Reorganization Event constitutes a Change of Control, then Section 9 shall take precedence over this Section 11 to the extent there is any inconsistency between such sections.

 

Section 12.      Adverse Changes; Voting Rights.

 

(a)            So long as any shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote required by applicable law, the Company may not take any of the following actions (including by means of merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) without the prior affirmative vote or written consent from the Holders of at least a majority of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class: amend, alter, repeal or otherwise modify (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation (including this Certificate of Designations) in a manner that would adversely affect the powers, preferences, rights or privileges of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock or otherwise alter or amend this Certificate of Designations.

 

(b)            Each Holder of Series B-2 Preferred Stock will have one (1) vote per share on any matter on which Holders of Series B-2 Preferred Stock are entitled to vote separately as a class, whether at a meeting or by written consent.

 

(c)            For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, the Holders shall have the exclusive consent and voting rights set forth in Section 12(a) and may take action or consent to any action with respect to such rights without a meeting by delivering a consent in writing or by electronic transmission of the Holders of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock entitled to cast not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize, take or consent to such action at a meeting of stockholders.

 

(d)            Except as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise required by Delaware General Corporation Law, the Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights.

 

24

 

 

Section 13.      Status of Shares. Shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner, whether by redemption, repurchase or otherwise or upon any conversion of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock to Class A Common Stock, shall thereupon be retired and shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock of the Company undesignated as to series, and may be redesignated as any series of preferred stock of the Company and reissued.

  

Section 14.      Term. Except as expressly provided in this Certificate of Designations, the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable or otherwise mature and the term of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall be perpetual.

 

Section 15.      Creation of Capital Stock. The Board, without the vote of the Holders, may authorize and issue additional shares of Capital Stock of the Company.

 

Section 16.      No Sinking Fund. Shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall not be subject to or entitled to the operation of a retirement or sinking fund.

 

Section 17.      Taxes. (a) Transfer Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all stock transfer, documentary, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock or Preferred Conversion Shares or other securities issued on account of Series B-2 Preferred Stock pursuant hereto or certificates representing such shares or securities. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, Preferred Conversion Shares or other securities in a name other than the name in which the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock with respect to which such shares or other securities are issued or delivered were registered, or in respect of any payment to any Person other than a payment to the registered holder thereof, and shall not be required to make any such issuance, delivery or payment, unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance, delivery or payment has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

 

(b)            Withholding. All payments and distributions (or deemed distributions) on the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock (and on the shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock received upon their conversion) shall be subject to withholding and backup withholding of taxes to the extent required by law, subject to applicable exemptions, and amounts withheld, if any, shall be treated as received by the Holders. The Company shall use commercially reasonably efforts to notify the Holders of any amounts expected to be deducted and withheld pursuant to the preceding sentence reasonably prior to the relevant payment date and the basis for such deduction and withholding and shall reasonably cooperate with the applicable Holders to reduce or eliminate any such deductions and withholdings to the extent permitted under applicable law.

 

(c)            Tax Treatment. The Series B-2 Preferred Stock is intended to be treated as common stock that does not constitute “preferred stock” within the meaning of Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Company shall apply the provisions of this Certificate of Designations consistent with such intention.

 

25

 

 

Section 18.      Notices. All notices referred to herein shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of receipt thereof or three (3) Business Days after the mailing thereof if sent by registered or certified mail (unless first-class mail shall be specifically permitted for such notice under the terms of this Certificate of Designations) with postage prepaid, addressed, (i) if to the Company, to its office at 220 West Germantown Pike, Suite 250, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462 (Attention: General Counsel), or to any transfer or other agent of the Company designated to receive such notice as permitted by this Certificate of Designations; (ii) if to any Holder, to such Holder at the address of such Holder as listed in the Register; or (iii) to such other address as the Company or any such Holder, as the case may be, shall have designated by notice similarly given.

 

Section 19.      Facts Ascertainable. When the terms of this Certificate of Designations refer to a specific agreement or other document to determine the meaning or operation of a provision hereof, the Secretary of the Company shall maintain a copy of such agreement or document at the principal executive offices of the Company and a copy thereof shall be provided free of charge to any Holder who makes a request therefor. The Secretary of the Company shall also maintain a written record of the Issuance Date, the number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock issued to a Holder and the date of each such issuance, and shall furnish such written record free of charge to any Holder who makes a request therefor.

 

Section 20.      Waiver. Notwithstanding any provision in this Certificate of Designations to the contrary, any provision contained herein and any right of the Holders of Series B-2 Preferred Stock granted hereunder may be waived as to all shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock (and the Holders thereof) upon the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock then outstanding.

 

Section 21.      Severability. If any term of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock set forth herein is invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, all other terms set forth herein, which can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable term will, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect, and no term herein set forth will be deemed dependent upon any other such term, unless so expressed herein.

 

Section 22.      No Other Rights. Except as expressly provided in any agreement between a Holder and the Company, the Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock will have no rights, preferences or voting powers, except as provided in this Certificate of Designations or the Certificate of Incorporation or as provided by applicable law.

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

 

 

 

 

1.            Resale Shelf Registration Rights.

 

(a)            Registration Statement Covering Resale of Registrable Securities. Pubco filed with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (“Form S-1”) for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by the Investors of all of the Registrable Securities held by the Investors (other than OEP) (the “Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement”). Pubco shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available or, if not available, to ensure that another Registration Statement is available (which replacement Registration Statement shall be deemed an Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement), under the Securities Act at all times until such date as all Registrable Securities covered by the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement, including the Registrable Securities held by the OEP Parties to be added to the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with Section 1(b), have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or such securities have been withdrawn (the “Effectiveness Period”); provided, that Pubco may amend the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with Section 1(b) and Section 1(c). Without limiting the foregoing or any of Pubco’s obligations under this Agreement, the Company will take such actions, including filing supplements to the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as shall be necessary to ensure that the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement remains effective and available for the resale of all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or otherwise in respect of any Series B-1 Preferred Stock (in addition to all of the other Registrable Securities covered by the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement) in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth therein. The Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Investor to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement (subject to lock-up restrictions provided in this Agreement and in the Lock-Up Agreements), and shall provide that such Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Investors; provided, that Pubco may amend the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with Section 1(b), Section 1(c), Section 1(d) or Section 1(e).

 

(b)            Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the SEC no later than the date that is sixty (60) days prior to the Restricted Period Termination Date (as defined in the OEP Investment Agreement), either, at the sole discretion of Pubco, (x) a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act (provided, that such Registration Statement replaces and becomes the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement) or (y) an amendment or prospectus supplement to the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement registering the resale from time to time by the OEP Parties of all of the Registrable Securities held by the OEP Parties (such Registration Statement, as amended, the “OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement”). The OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 or, if Form S-3 is not then available to Pubco, on Form S-1 or such other appropriate form permitting Registration of the Registrable Securities for resale by the OEP Parties. The OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit the OEP Parties to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the SEC then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement (subject to lock-up or transfer restrictions pursuant to Section 5.3 of the OEP Investment Agreement and in this Agreement), and shall provide that the Registrable Securities held by the OEP Parties may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the OEP Parties. Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing, but in no event later than the Restricted Period Termination Date. Once effective, Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and in compliance with the Securities Act and useable for the resale of the Registrable Securities covered by the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement, including by filing successive replacement or renewal OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statements upon the expiration of the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement, until such time as the OEP Parties no longer hold Registrable Securities. The OEP Parties shall be entitled, at any time and from time to time when the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement is effective (subject to lock-up or transfer restrictions provided the OEP Investment Agreement and in this Agreement), to sell any or all of the Registrable Securities covered by the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 1(b), in the event of the occurrence of a Restricted Period Early Termination Event (as defined in the OEP Investment Agreement) prior to the date that is sixty (60) days prior to the Restricted Period Termination Date, Pubco shall use reasonable best efforts to file and cause to be declared effective the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement for the Registrable Securities with respect to which the lockup period has terminated within thirty (30) days following such termination. Pubco shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the filing of the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement.

(c)          If any OEP Party becomes a holder of Registrable Securities after the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective in accordance with Section 1(b), and such OEP Party has executed a Joinder entitling it to the benefits of this Agreement, then Pubco shall, as promptly as is reasonably practicable following delivery of written notice to Pubco of such OEP Party becoming a holder of Registrable Securities and requesting for its name to be included as a selling securityholder in the Prospectus related to the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement:

 

(i)            if required and permitted by applicable law, file with the Commission a supplement to the related Prospectus or a post-effective amendment to the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement so that such OEP Party is named as a selling securityholder in the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus in such a manner as to permit such OEP Party to deliver a prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law; provided, however, that Pubco shall not be required to file more than one post-effective amendment or a supplement to the related prospectus for such purpose in any 45-day period;

 

(ii)           if, pursuant to Section 1(c)(i), Pubco shall have filed a post-effective amendment to the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement that is not automatically effective, use its reasonable best efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable; and

 

(iii)         notify such OEP Party as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment filed pursuant to Section 1(c)(i).

(d)            Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the SEC, as soon as reasonably possible following the date hereof, but in no event later than the fifteenth (15th) day following the date hereof, either, at the sole discretion of Pubco, (x) a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act (provided, that such Registration Statement replaces and becomes the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement) or (y) to the extent permitted under applicable Law, an amendment or prospectus supplement to the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement registering the resale from time to time by each Deerfield Party of all of the Registrable Securities held by it (such Registration Statement, as amended, the “Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement”). The Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 or, if Form S-3 is not then available to Pubco, on Form S-1 or such other appropriate form permitting Registration of Registrable Securities for resale by the Deerfield Parties. The Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit each Deerfield Party to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the SEC then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for the Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement (subject to lock-up or transfer restrictions pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Deerfield Investment Agreement and Section 4(a) hereof), and shall provide that the Registrable Securities held by each Deerfield Party may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, such Deerfield Party and in accordance with a plan of distribution approved by such Deerfield Party. Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing, but in no event later than the ninetieth (90th) day following the Closing Date. Without limiting the foregoing, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) business days, following the resolution or clearance of all SEC comments or, if applicable, following notification by the SEC that any such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto will not be subject to review, Pubco shall file a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement (to the extent required, by declaration or ordering of effective, of such Registration Statement or amendment by the SEC) to a time and date not later than two (2) business days after the submission of such request. No later than two (2) business days after the Registration Statement becomes effective, Pubco shall file with the SEC the final prospectus included in the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 424 (or successor thereto) under the Securities Act. Once effective, Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and in compliance with the Securities Act and useable for the resale of the Registrable Securities covered by the Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement, including by filing successive replacement or renewal Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statements upon the expiration of the Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement, until such time as no Deerfield Party holds any Registrable Securities. Each Deerfield Party shall be entitled, at any time and from time to time when the Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement is effective, to sell any or all of the Registrable Securities held by it and covered by the Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement. Pubco shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the filing of the Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement.

 

(e)            If any Deerfield Party becomes a holder of Registrable Securities after the Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective in accordance with Section 1(d), and such Deerfield Party has executed a Joinder entitling it to the benefits of this Agreement, then Pubco shall, as promptly as is reasonably practicable following delivery of written notice to Pubco of such Deerfield Party becoming a holder of Registrable Securities and requesting for its name to be included as a selling securityholder in the Prospectus related to the Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement:

 

- 4 -

 

 

(i)           if required and permitted by applicable law, file with the Commission a supplement to the related Prospectus or a post-effective amendment to the Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement so that such Deerfield Party is named as a selling securityholder in the Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Deerfield Party to deliver a prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law; provided, however, that Pubco shall not be required to file more than one post-effective amendment or a supplement to the related prospectus for such purpose in any 45-day period;

 

(ii)          if, pursuant to Section 1(e)(i), Pubco shall have filed a post-effective amendment to the Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement that is not automatically effective, use its reasonable best efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable; and

 

(iii)         notify such Deerfield Party as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment filed pursuant to Section 1(e)(i).

 

(f)          Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.

 

2.            Demand Registrations.

 

(a)          Requests for Registration. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Lock-Up Agreements, at any time or from time to time, the holders of Registrable Securities may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement (“Long-Form Registrations”) or, if available, on Form S-3 (including a shelf registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act) or any similar short-form registration statement, including an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405) (an “Automatic Shelf Registration Statement”), if available to Pubco (“Short-Form Registrations”) in accordance with Section 2(b) and Section 2(c) below (such holders being referred to herein as the “Initiating Investors” and all registrations requested by the Initiating Investors being referred to herein as “Demand Registrations”). Each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered and the intended method of distribution. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any such request, Pubco shall give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, shall include in such registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under state blue sky laws or in compliance with other registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all such Registrable Securities with respect to which Pubco has received written requests for inclusion therein within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of Pubco’s notice. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that such holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the notice of Demand Registration and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such notice of Demand Registration without the prior written consent of Pubco until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement.

(b)            Long-Form Registrations. (i) The OEP Parties may request an aggregate of three (3), (ii) the Deerfield Parties may request an aggregate of one (1) and (iii) the Investors (other than any OEP Party) holding a majority of the Registrable Securities (other than those held by the OEP Parties) may request an aggregate of one (1) Long-Form Registration in which Pubco shall pay all Registration Expenses whether or not any such Long-Form Registration has become effective; provided that, Pubco shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any Long-Form Registration unless the aggregate market price of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Long-Form Registration exceeds $20,000,000 at the time of request; provided, further, that Pubco shall only be obligated to effect, or take any action to effect, three (3) Long-Form Registrations in the case of any request therefor by any of the OEP Parties, one (1) Long-Form Registrations in the case of any request therefor by any of the Deerfield Parties and one (1) Long-Form Registration in the case of any request therefor by Investors (other than any OEP Party) holding a majority of the Registrable Securities (other than those held by the OEP Parties). A registration shall not count as a permitted Long-Form Registration until it has become effective and unless the holders of Registrable Securities are able to register and sell at least 90% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration; provided that in any event Pubco shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration initiated as a Long-Form Registration whether or not it has become effective and whether or not such registration has counted as one of the permitted Long-Form Registrations hereunder.

 

(c)            Short-Form Registrations. In addition to the Long-Form Registration provided pursuant to Section 2(b), each of (i) the Investors holding a majority of the Common Units not held by Pubco, (ii) the Investors holding a majority of the Founder Shares, (iii) the Investors holding a majority of the PIPE Shares (including any Common Stock issuable in respect of any Series B-1 Preferred Stock that was exchanged for PIPE Shares), (iv) the Deerfield Parties and (v) the OEP Parties, in each case, shall be entitled to request an unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations in which Pubco shall pay all Registration Expenses whether or not any such Short-Form Registration has become effective; provided, however, that Pubco shall not be obligated to effect any such Short-Form Registration: (i) if the holders of Registrable Securities, together with the holders of any other securities of Pubco entitled to inclusion in such Short-Form Registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities with an aggregate market price at the time of request of less than $5,000,000, or (ii) if Pubco has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected three (3) Short-Form Registrations for the holders of Registrable Securities requesting a Short-Form Registration pursuant to this Section 2(c). Demand Registrations shall be Short-Form Registrations whenever Pubco is permitted to use any applicable short form registration and if the managing underwriters (if any) agree to the use of a Short-Form Registration. For so long as Pubco is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to make Short-Form Registrations available for the offer and sale of Registrable Securities. If Pubco is qualified to and, pursuant to the request of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, has filed with the Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act on Form S-3 pursuant to Rule 415 (a “Shelf Registration”), then Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after filing, and, if Pubco is a WKSI at the time of any such request, to cause such Shelf Registration to be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, and once effective, Pubco shall cause such Shelf Registration to remain effective (including by filing a new Shelf Registration, if necessary) for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities included in such registration have been sold or distributed pursuant to the Shelf Registration or (ii) the date as of which all of the Registrable Securities included in such registration are able to be sold within a 90-day period in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. If for any reason Pubco ceases to be a WKSI or becomes ineligible to utilize Form S-3, Pubco shall prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement or registration statements on such form that is available for the sale of Registrable Securities.

(d)            Shelf Takedowns. At any time when the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement, OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement, the Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement or a Shelf Registration for the sale or distribution by holders of Registrable Securities on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415, including by way of an underwritten offering, block sale or other distribution plan (each, a “Resale Shelf Registration”) is effective and its use has not been otherwise suspended by Pubco in accordance with the terms of Section 2(f) below, upon a written demand (a “Takedown Demand”) by any Investor that is, in either case, a Shelf Participant holding Registrable Securities at such time (the “Initiating Holder”), Pubco will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement a “takedown” of Registrable Securities off of such Resale Shelf Registration (a “takedown offering”) and Pubco shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection therewith; provided that Pubco will provide (x) in connection with any non-marketed underwritten takedown offering (other than a Block Trade), at least two (2) Business Days’ notice of such Takedown Demand to each holder of Registrable Securities (other than the Initiating Holder) that is a Shelf Participant, (y) in connection with any Block Trade initiated prior to November 8, 2022, notice of such Takedown Demand to each holder of Registrable Securities (other than the Initiating Holder) that is a Shelf Participant no later than noon Eastern time on the Business Day prior to the requested Takedown Demand and (z) in connection with any marketed underwritten takedown offering, at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of such Takedown Demand to each holder of Registrable Securities (other than the Initiating Holder) that is a Shelf Participant. In connection with (x) any non-marketed underwritten takedown offering initiated prior to November 8, 2022 and (y) any marketed underwritten takedown offering, if any Shelf Participants entitled to receive a notice pursuant to the preceding sentence request inclusion of their Registrable Securities (by notice to Pubco, which notice must be received by Pubco no later than (A) in the case of a non-marketed underwritten takedown offering (other than a Block Trade), the Business Day following the date notice is given to such participant, (B) in the case of a Block Trade, by 10:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date notice is given to such participant and (C) in the case of a marketed underwritten takedown offering, three (3) Business Days following the date notice is given to such participant), the Initiating Holder and the other Shelf Participants that request inclusion of their Registrable Securities shall be entitled to sell their Registrable Securities in such offering. Each holder of Registrable Securities that is a Shelf Participant agrees that such holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the notice of a Takedown Demand and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such notice without the prior written consent of Pubco until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement.

 

(e)            Priority on Demand Registrations and Takedown Offerings. Pubco shall not include in any Demand Registration that is an underwritten offering any securities that are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the managing underwriters and the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding. If a Demand Registration or a takedown offering is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise Pubco in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities held by Initiating Investors, Pubco shall include in such offering prior to the inclusion of any securities which are not Registrable Securities the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration (pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder).

 

- 7 -

 

 

(f)           Restrictions on Demand Registrations and Takedown Offerings. Any demand for the filing of a registration statement or for a registered offering (including a takedown offering) hereunder will be subject to the constraints of any applicable lock-up arrangements to which any demanding Investor is party, and any such demand must be deferred until such lock-up arrangements no longer apply.

 

(i)            Pubco shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within 30 days prior to Pubco’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of an underwritten Public Offering of Pubco’s securities and for such a period of time after such a filing as the managing underwriters request, provided that such period shall not exceed 90 days from the effective date of any such underwritten Public Offering. Pubco may postpone, for up to 60 days from the date of the request (the “Suspension Period”), the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration or suspend the use of a prospectus that is part of any Resale Shelf Registration (and therefore suspend sales of the Registrable Securities included therein) by providing written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities if the board of directors of Pubco reasonably determines in good faith that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities would be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by Pubco or any subsidiary thereof to engage in any material acquisition or disposition of assets or stock (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction or would require Pubco to disclose any material nonpublic information which would reasonably be likely to be detrimental to Pubco and its subsidiaries; provided that in such event, the holders of Registrable Securities initially requesting such Demand Registration or Takedown Demand shall be entitled to withdraw such request. Pubco may delay or suspend the effectiveness of a Demand Registration or takedown offering pursuant to this Section 2(f)(i) only once in any consecutive twelve-month period; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Pubco may in any event delay or suspend the effectiveness of Demand Registration or takedown offering in the case of an event described under Section 5(g) to enable it to comply with its obligations set forth in Section 5(f). Pubco may extend the Suspension Period for an additional consecutive 60 days with the consent of the Applicable Approving Party.

 

(ii)          In the case of an event that causes Pubco to suspend the use of any Resale Shelf Registration as set forth in Section 2(f)(i) or pursuant to Section 5(g) (a “Suspension Event”), Pubco shall give a notice to the holders of Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration (a “Suspension Notice”) to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities and such notice shall state generally the basis for the notice and that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing. A holder of Registrable Securities shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Resale Shelf Registration (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from Pubco and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that such holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the Suspension Notice and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such Suspension Notice without the prior written consent of Pubco until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by such holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement. The holders of Registrable Securities may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration (or such filings) following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from Pubco, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by Pubco to the holders of Registrable Securities and to such holders’ counsel, if any, promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event.

 

- 8 -

 

 

(iii)         Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if Pubco shall give a Suspension Notice with respect to any Resale Shelf Registration pursuant to this Section 2(f), Pubco agrees that it shall extend the period of time during which such Resale Shelf Registration shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from the date of receipt by the holders of the Suspension Notice to and including the date of receipt by the holders of the End of Suspension Notice and provide copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus necessary to resume sales, with respect to each Suspension Event; provided that such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that Common Stock covered by such Resale Shelf Registration are no longer Registrable Securities.

 

(g)          Selection of Underwriters. In connection with any Demand Registration, the Applicable Approving Party shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering; provided that such selection shall be subject to the written consent of Pubco, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If any takedown offering is an underwritten offering, the Applicable Approving Party shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer such takedown offering. In each case, the Applicable Approving Party shall have the right to approve the underwriting arrangements with such investment banker(s) and manager(s) on behalf of all holders of Registrable Securities participating in such offering. All Investors proposing to distribute their securities through underwriting shall (together with Pubco and the Company) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting.

 

(h)          Other Registration Rights. Pubco represents and warrants to each holder of Registrable Securities that the registration rights granted in this Agreement do not conflict with any other registration rights granted by Pubco. Except as provided in this Agreement, Pubco shall not grant to any Persons the right to request Pubco to register any equity securities of Pubco, or any securities, options or rights convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding.

 

(i)          Revocation of Demand Notice or Takedown Notice. At any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to a Demand Registration or the “pricing” of any offering relating to a Takedown Demand, the holders of Registrable Securities that requested such Demand Registration or takedown offering may revoke such request for a Demand Registration or takedown offering on behalf of all holders of Registrable Securities participating in such Demand Registration or takedown offering without liability to such holders of Registrable Securities, in each case by providing written notice to Pubco.

3.            Piggyback Registrations.

 

(a)            Right to Piggyback. Whenever Pubco proposes to register an offering of any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than (i) pursuant to the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement, OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement or Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement), (ii) pursuant to a Demand Registration, (iii) pursuant to a Takedown Demand, (iv) in connection with registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 promulgated by the Commission or any successor forms, (v) a registration relating solely to employment benefit plans, (vi) in connection with a registration the primary purpose of which is to register debt securities, or (vii) a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of Registrable Securities) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), Pubco shall give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a Piggyback Registration and, subject to the terms of Sections 3(c) and 3(d) hereof, shall include in such Piggyback Registration (and in all related registrations or qualifications under blue sky laws or in compliance with other registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which Pubco has received written requests for inclusion therein within 10 business days after the delivery of Pubco’s notice; provided that any such other holder may withdraw its request for inclusion at any time prior to executing the underwriting agreement or, if none, prior to the applicable registration statement becoming effective.

 

(b)            Piggyback Expenses. The Registration Expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities shall be paid by Pubco in all Piggyback Registrations, whether or not any such registration became effective.

 

(c)            Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of Pubco, and the managing underwriters advise Pubco in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, Pubco shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities Pubco proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Investors which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect (pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder), and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect.

 

(d)            Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of Pubco’s securities other than holders of Registrable Securities, and the managing underwriters advise Pubco in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, Pubco shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders initially requesting such registration, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Investors which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect (pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder), and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect.

(e)          Other Registrations. If Pubco has previously filed a Registration Statement with respect to Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 or pursuant to this Section 3, and if such previous registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, then Pubco shall not be required to file or cause to be effected any other registration of any of its equity securities or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for its equity securities under the Securities Act (except on Form S-8 or any successor form) at the request of any holder or holders of such securities until a period of at least 90 days has elapsed from the effective date of such previous registration; provided, however, that Pubco shall at all times remain obligated to file or amend, as applicable, (i) any OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with Section 1(b) and/or Section 1(c) in the time periods specified therein and (ii) any Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with Section 1(c) and/or Section 1(d) in the time periods specified therein.

 

(f)          Right to Terminate Registration. Pubco shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 3 whether or not any holder of Registrable Securities has elected to include securities in such registration. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by Pubco in accordance with Section 7.

 

4.            Agreements of Holders.

 

(a)         If required by the managing underwriter(s), in connection with any underwritten Public Offering on or after the date hereof, each holder that beneficially owns 1% or more of the outstanding Common Stock shall enter into lock-up agreements with the managing underwriter(s) of such underwritten Public Offering in such form as agreed to by such managing underwriter(s); provided, however, that:

 

(i)           the Deerfield Parties shall not be required to enter into lock-up agreements pursuant to this Section 4(a) on more than two (2) occasions, including the lock-up agreements entered into on June 29, 2020,

 

(ii)          any lock-up agreements to which the Deerfield Parties enter into pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall be for a period of not more than sixty (60) days,

 

(iii)         the obligation of the Deerfield Parties to enter into lock-up agreements pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall terminate on November 8, 2021, and

  (iv)         the Deerfield Parties shall not be required to enter into a lock-up agreement pursuant to this Section 4(a) within six (6) months following the expiration of a previous lock-up agreement entered into by the Deerfield Parties pursuant to this Section 4(a).

 

(b)            The holders of Registrable Securities shall use reasonable best efforts to provide such information as may reasonably be requested by Pubco, 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 Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 3 and in connection with Pubco’s obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws.

 

5.            Registration Procedures. In connection with the Registration to be effected pursuant to the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement, OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement or Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement, and whenever the holders of Registrable Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement or have initiated a takedown offering, Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto Pubco shall as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(f)            use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the lead underwriter or the Applicable Approving Party reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller (provided that Pubco shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 5(f), (ii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction);

 

(g)            promptly notify in writing each seller of such Registrable Securities (i) after it receives notice thereof, of the date and time when such registration statement and each post-effective amendment thereto has become effective or a prospectus or supplement to any prospectus relating to a registration statement has been filed and when any registration or qualification has become effective under a state securities or blue sky law or any exemption thereunder has been obtained, (ii) after receipt thereof, of any request by the Commission for the amendment or supplementing of such registration statement or prospectus or for additional information, and (iii) at any time when a prospectus relating thereto 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 contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of any such seller, Pubco promptly shall prepare, file with the Commission and furnish to each such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

 

(h)            cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by Pubco are then listed and, if not so listed, to be listed on a securities exchange and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two market makers to register as such with respect to such Registrable Securities with FINRA;

- 13 -

 

 

(j)             enter into and perform such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the Applicable Approving Party or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including, without limitation, effecting a stock split or a combination of shares and preparing for and participating in such number of “road shows”, investor presentations and marketing events as the underwriters managing such offering may reasonably request);

 

(k)            make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate and business documents and properties of Pubco as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause Pubco’s officers, managers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement;

 

(l)             take all reasonable actions to ensure that any Free-Writing Prospectus utilized in connection with any Demand Registration (including any Shelf Registration), takedown offering or Piggyback Registration hereunder complies in all material respects with the Securities Act, is filed in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby, is retained in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby and, when taken together with the related prospectus, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

 

(m)           otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission;

 

(n)            permit any holder of Registrable Securities who, in its good faith judgment (based on the advice of counsel), could reasonably be expected to be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling Person of Pubco to participate in the preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to require the insertion therein of material furnished to Pubco in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such holder and its counsel should be included;

 

(o)            in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Common Stock included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, use its reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order;

 

(p)            use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

 

- 14 -

 

 

(q)            cooperate with the holders of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and the managing underwriter or agent, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing securities to be sold under the registration statement and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter, or agent, if any, or such holders may request;

 

(r)            cooperate with each holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA;

 

(s)            if such registration includes an underwritten Public Offering, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a cold comfort letter from Pubco’s independent public accountants and addressed to the underwriters, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters as the underwriters in such registration reasonably request;

 

(t)            provide a legal opinion of Pubco’s outside counsel, dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten Public Offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), with respect to the registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included therein (including the preliminary prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions of such nature, which opinion shall be addressed to the underwriters;

 

(u)            if Pubco files an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering any Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to remain a WKSI (and not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405)) during the period during which such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is required to remain effective;

 

(v)            if Pubco does not pay the filing fee covering the Registrable Securities at the time an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is filed, pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Securities are to be sold; and

 

(w)           subject to the terms of Section 2(c) and Section 2(d), if an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement has been outstanding for at least three (3) years, at the end of the third year, refile a new Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities, and, if at any time when Pubco is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status Pubco determines that it is not a WKSI, use its reasonable best efforts to refile the registration statement on Form S-3 and keep such registration statement effective (including by filing a new Resale Shelf Registration or Shelf Registration, if necessary) during the period throughout which such registration statement is required to be kept effective.

 

6.           Termination of Rights. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the right of any Investor to include Registrable Securities in any Demand Registration or any Piggyback Registration shall terminate on such date that such Investor (together with its Affiliates) beneficially owns less than 1% of the outstanding Common Stock on an as-converted basis and may sell all of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without any restrictions as to volume or the manner of sale or otherwise; provided, however, that with respect to any Investor whose rights have terminated pursuant to this Section 6, if following such a termination, such Investor loses the ability to sell all of its Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without any restrictions as to volume or the manner of sale or otherwise due to a change in interpretive guidance by the Commission, then such Investor’s right to include Registrable Securities in any Demand Registration or any Piggyback Registration shall be reinstated until such time as the Investor is once again able to sell all of its Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without any restrictions as to volume or the manner of sale or otherwise.

7.            Registration Expenses.

 

(a)            All expenses incident to Pubco’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration, qualification and filing fees, listing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, stock exchange rules and filings, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, fees and disbursements of custodians, and fees and disbursements of counsel for Pubco and all independent certified public accountants, underwriters (excluding underwriting discounts and commissions) and other Persons retained by Pubco (all such expenses being herein called “Registration Expenses”), shall be borne by Pubco as provided in this Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, Pubco also shall pay all of its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expense of any liability insurance and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by Pubco are then listed. Each Person that sells securities pursuant to a Demand Registration, a Takedown Demand or Piggyback Registration hereunder shall bear and pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes applicable to the securities sold for such Person’s account.

 

(b)            Pubco shall reimburse the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel chosen by the Applicable Approving Party and one local counsel (if necessary) for each applicable jurisdiction and chosen by the applicable holder of Registrable Securities, in each case, for the purpose of rendering a legal opinion on behalf of such holders in connection with any underwritten Demand Registration, takedown offering or Piggyback Registration.

 

8.            Additional Payments Under Certain Circumstances.

 

(a)            Payments (“Additional Payments”) with respect to the shares of Common Stock included in the Registrable Securities shall be assessed as follows if the following event occurs (such event being herein called a “Registration Default”): the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (unless and except to the extent that another Registration Statement covering the applicable Registrable Securities is effective during the Effectiveness Period).

 

- 16 -

 

 

(b)            Additional Payments shall accrue on the applicable Registrable Securities for each such day from and including the date on which any such Registration Default occurs to but excluding the date on which all such Registration Defaults have been cured at a rate of $0.05 per share (subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split or other recapitalization) per month or portion thereof (on a 30/360 basis); provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to pay Additional Payments extends only to any shares of Common Stock included in the Registrable Securities that are affected by the Registration Default; and provided further that Additional Payments shall in no event accrue on account of any Registrable Securities during any period that such Registrable Securities may not be sold pursuant to the terms of the Lock-Up Agreements or any other applicable lock-up arrangements to which the applicable Investor is party; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Additional Payments were accrued or are payable for any Registration Default in the 180 day period following November 8, 2019, and each Investor waives any entitlement thereto. Other than the obligation of payment of any Additional Payments in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company will have no other liabilities for monetary damages with respect to its registration obligations. With respect to each Investor, the Company’s obligations to pay Additional Payments remain in effect only so long as the applicable shares of Common Stock held by the Investor are Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) in no event shall the aggregate of all Additional Payments payable by the Company hereunder on account of any share of Common Stock exceed $0.50 per share (subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split or other recapitalization), (ii) no Additional Payments shall accrue during any Suspension Period, (iii) a Registration Default shall be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing, and no Additional Payments shall accrue as a result thereof, if the Registration Default (x) relates to any information supplied or failed to be supplied by an Investor in relation to any Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or (y) arises due to the filing by Pubco of any post-effective amendment to the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement in connection with Pubco’s obligation to comply with Section 1(b) or Section 1(c) (but only until such post-effective amendment is declared effective by the Commission), (iv) no Additional Payments shall accrue or be payable to any OEP Party or in respect of the Registrable Securities issued pursuant to the OEP Investment Agreement and (v) no Additional Payments shall accrue or be payable to any Deerfield Party or in respect of the Registrable Securities issued pursuant to the Deerfield Investment Agreement. No Additional Payments shall be payable (i) if as of the relevant Registration Default, the Registrable Securities may be sold by the Investors without volume or manner of sale restrictions under Rule 144, as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and reasonably acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent or (ii) with respect to any period after the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (it being understood that this clause shall not relieve the Company of any Additional Payments accruing prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period).

 

(c)            Any amounts of Additional Payments pursuant to this Section 8 will be payable in cash in arrears on the last day of each month following the date on which a Registration Default occurs. The amount of Additional Payments will be determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months, and the actual number of days on which Additional Payments accrued during such period.

9.            Indemnification.

 

(a)            Pubco agrees to (i) indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Investor and their respective officers, directors, members, partners, agents, affiliates and employees and each Person who controls such Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by (A) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (B) any violation or alleged violation by Pubco of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to Pubco and relating to action or inaction required of Pubco in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and (ii) pay to each Investor and their respective officers, directors, members, partners, agents, affiliates and employees and each Person who controls such Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), as incurred, any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to Pubco or any managing underwriter by such Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of Pubco (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall Pubco be liable in any such case for any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action to the extent that it solely arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement or omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the registration statement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration statement. In connection with an underwritten offering, Pubco shall indemnify any underwriters or deemed underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities.

 

(b)            In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder shall furnish to Pubco in writing such information relating to such holder as Pubco reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify Pubco, its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives and each Person who controls Pubco (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such holder; provided that the obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, for each holder and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

 

- 18 -

 

 

(c)            Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (as well as one local counsel for each applicable jurisdiction) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicted indemnified parties shall have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the registration, at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party, in the defense of such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

(d)            Each party hereto agrees that, if for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Sections 9(a) or 9(b) are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each 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 losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders or any underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or, except as provided in Section 9(c), defending any such action or claim. 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. The sellers’ obligations in this Section 9(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the amount of securities registered by them and not joint and shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration.

 

- 19 -

 

 

(e)            The indemnification and contribution 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 Registrable Securities and the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

 

10.         Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including, without limitation, pursuant to any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the underwriters; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities such holder has requested to include) and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, custody agreements, stock powers, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities included in any underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties to Pubco or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such holder, such holder’s title to the securities, such Person’s authority to sell such securities and such holder’s intended method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to Pubco or the underwriters with respect thereto that are materially more burdensome than those provided in Section 9. Each holder of Registrable Securities shall execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by Pubco and the lead managing underwriter(s) that are consistent with such holder’s obligations under Section 4, Section 5 and this Section 10 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. To the extent that any such agreement is entered into pursuant to, and consistent with, Section 4 and this Section 10, the respective rights and obligations created under such agreement shall supersede the respective rights and obligations of the holders, Pubco and the underwriters created pursuant to this Section 10.

 

11.          Other Agreements.

AdaptHealth Closes Previously Announced Acquisitions of

Solara Medical Supplies and ActivStyle

 

Plymouth Meeting, PA – July 2, 2020 – AdaptHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: AHCO) (“AdaptHealth” or the “Company”), a leading provider of home medical equipment, supplies and related services in the United States, announced today that it has closed the previously announced acquisitions of Solara Medical Supplies, LLC (“Solara”) and ActivStyle, Inc. (“ActivStyle”). The acquisitions were consummated for combined total consideration of approximately $487 million consisting of approximately $424.5 million in cash and $62.5 million in AdaptHealth Class A common stock.

 

AdaptHealth believes Solara is one of the largest direct-to-patient providers of diabetes management supplies in the United States, including continuous glucose monitors (CGM), insulin pumps and other diabetic supplies. ActivStyle is a leading direct-to-consumer supplier that provides incontinence and urology products.

 

“These are highly strategic, complementary and accretive acquisitions,” said Luke McGee, CEO of AdaptHealth. “We believe Solara will immediately establish AdaptHealth as a leader in the high-growth diabetes market and advances our goal to offer high-value services to people with chronic conditions in their homes. ActivStyle will add critical mass to important supply product categories; each company also brings to AdaptHealth a talented group of industry professionals. The addition of Solara and ActivStyle will enrich our direct-to-patient product offerings, create a single supply source for an expanded set of chronic care products and services, and increase our overall exposure to recurring supply sales.”

 

As previously announced, Steve Foreman, CEO of Solara, Gayle Devin, CEO of ActivStyle, and key members of their respective management teams have joined AdaptHealth. Each company will continue to operate under its current name.

 

AdaptHealth funded the transactions and associated costs through a combination of incremental term loan borrowing under its existing credit agreement and equity investments of $190 million and $35 million, respectively, by One Equity Partners and funds managed by Deerfield Management. Brad Coppens, Managing Director of One Equity Partners, will join the board of AdaptHealth.
