Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

The information in Item 2.01 below related to the SVB Debt and the North Atlantic Debt (each as defined below) is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On March 6, 2015, Digital Turbine, Inc. (the “Company”) completed the acquisition of Appia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Appia”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 13, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, DTM Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Appia and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, as the stockholder representative. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Appia on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, with Appia as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The surviving corporation was renamed “Digital Turbine Media, Inc.”

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the merger became effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State with an effective date of March 6, 2015. At the effective time of the merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, all of the equity securities of Appia outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (including outstanding stock options, which were assumed by the Company), were converted into the right to receive a number of shares (or, in the case of stock options being assumed, stock options) of the Company’s common stock, equal to $100 million less Appia’s net debt and transaction expenses at the time of closing (subject to a working capital adjustment), divided by $4.50. The Company issued an aggregate of 18,951,550 shares of common stock (including an aggregate of 1.0 million shares deposited into escrow as described below) and assumed stock options exercisable for 245,955 shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. No fractional shares of Digital Turbine common stock were issued in connection with the merger. All the shares of common stock received by the Appia stockholders in the merger are subject to lock up restrictions, which lock up restrictions lapse with respect to one-third of such stockholder’s shares at each of the six, nine and 12 month anniversaries of the closing date of the merger. As of March 10, 2015, the Company had 57,107,894 shares of common stock outstanding.

 

At the closing, the Company, the stockholder representative, and the American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC as the escrow agent, entered into an escrow agreement pursuant to which 1,000,000 shares of common stock were deposited in an escrow account to be held for the satisfaction of any post-closing purchase price adjustments and any indemnification claims by the Company. For purposes of satisfying claims for indemnification or any post-closing adjustment to the purchase price, all shares of the Company’s common stock in the escrow account are deemed to have a value equal to $4.50, as may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Appia stockholders who contributed a portion of the aggregate consideration that they are entitled to receive under the terms of the Merger Agreement to the escrow are the owners of the shares deposited in the escrow account and are entitled to vote all escrowed shares on their own behalf.

 

On March 6, 2015, upon consummation of the merger, pursuant to which the Company assumed approximately $1.0 million cash from Appia, Appia entered into an amended loan agreement with its senior lender, Silicon Valley Bank (the “SVB Debt”) and the Company issued a secured guaranty of the SVB Debt whereby it guarantied all of the obligations in connection with the SVB Debt and pledged substantially all of its assets, including its intellectual property, to Silicon Valley Bank in support of the SVB Debt. The SVB Debt consists of a revolving credit facility of up to $3.5 million, with approximately $3.0 million outstanding as of March 6, 2015, and a term loan of with an aggregate principal balance of $600,000 as of March 6, 2015.

 

Additionally, on March 6, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Appia and North Atlantic SBIC IV, L.P. (“North Atlantic”) whereby Appia issued to North Atlantic a subordinated debenture in the aggregate principal amount of $8.0 million (“North Atlantic Debt”), retiring a like amount of outstanding debt to North Atlantic and, the Company issued a secured guaranty of the North Atlantic Debt whereby it guaranteed all of Appia’s and the Company’s obligations in connection with the North Atlantic Debt and pledged substantially all of its assets, including its intellectual property, to North Atlantic in support of the North Atlantic Debt. The Company also issued to North Atlantic 200,000 shares of its common stock and a common stock warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock, all of which have registration rights requiring the Company to file a registration statement the later of 15 business days after the closing of the merger with Appia or five business day after the audited financial statements required for the registration statement are available. The warrant has an exercise price of $0.01 per share exercisable for 10 years, but it is not exercisable until the one year anniversary of the closing date of the merger and will terminate if the Company repays the North Atlantic Debt prior to such one year anniversary.

The secured guarantees to each of Silicon Valley Bank and North Atlantic contain covenants, among others, limiting the Company’s ability to undergo a change of control, incur indebtedness, grant liens, make dividends in cash and other customary covenants. A violation of the provisions of the secured guarantees, as well as an event of default existing under the SVB Debt or North Atlantic Debt, will constitute an event of default under each guaranty. Upon the occurrence and continuation of such event of defaults, Silicon Valley Bank and North Atlantic may exercise certain remedies against the Company and substantially all its assets, including foreclosure of such assets. The SVB Debt matures at June 30, 2015, with respect to the revolving line, and April 1, 2016, with respect to the term loan. The North Atlantic Debt matures two years after the date of issuance. Silicon Valley Bank and North Atlantic entered into a subordination agreement on March 6, 2015 pursuant to which North Atlantic agreed to, among other things, limit its rights to receive payment, exercise remedies and enforce its rights, in each case for a certain period while an event of default under the North Atlantic debt exists.

 

The foregoing is a summary only and does not purport to be a complete description of all of the terms, provisions, covenants and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement and the agreements for the SVB Debt and North Atlantic Debt, and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreements, which are filed as exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 18, 2014, with respect to the Merger Agreement, and attached hereto as exhibits 4.1, 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, and which are incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

 

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

 

The information included in Item 2.01 above related to the SVB Debt and the North Atlantic Debt is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information included in Item 2.01 above related to the issuance of securities to North Atlantic in connection with the North Atlantic Debt is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The securities were issued in reliance upon the exemptions provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") and Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange under the Act since, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering.

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

In connection with the closing of the merger, on March 6, 2015, the board of directors increased the size of the Company’s board from seven to eight members, and the board of directors appointed Jud Bowman and Craig Forman as directors.

 

Jud Bowman is the founder of Appia, and served as its Chief Executive Officer since the company’s inception in 2008 until March 2015. Prior to Appia, Mr. Bowman co-founded Motricity in September 1999 and served as the Chief Technology Officer until 2008. Mr. Bowman is currently on leave from Stanford University, where he was named a President’s Scholar, and is a graduate of the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics.

 

Craig Forman previously served as the executive chairman of the board of directors of Appia until March 2015. Mr. Forman is a private investor and entrepreneur, a former media, technology and telecommunications executive and former Wall Street Journal bureau chief and foreign correspondent. From March 2006 to May 2009, Mr. Forman served as President of Value Added Services and subsequently as President of Access & Audience at EarthLink Inc. where he also led such shared services as Operations, Information Technology and Customer Support. Prior to joining EarthLink, Mr. Forman was a senior executive at Yahoo Inc., where he had served since February 2004 as head of that Internet portal company’s Media and Information businesses. Since 2009, Mr. Forman has served as a director on a variety of public and private company boards. Mr. Forman is currently the non-executive chairman of Success Television, a company he founded before joining EarthLink, and a director of McClatchy Co., a leading U.S. newspaper and information company (NYSE: MNI) and Yellow Media Ltd. (TSE:Y), a leading Canadian digital media and marketing solutions company. Mr. Forman has a master’s degree in law from Yale and an undergraduate degree from Princeton.

Date of Issuance: March 6, 2015

 

for value received, DIGITAL TURBINE, INC. (f/k/a Mandalay Digital Group, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“ Digital ”), hereby certifies that North Atlantic SBIC IV, L.P. , a Delaware limited partnership (the “ Registered Holder ”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from Digital, at any time on or after the Vesting Date (as defined in Section 1 below) and on or before the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 6 below) shares of Digital’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“ Digital Common Stock ”), at an exercise price per share (the “ Exercise Price ”) equal to $0.001 (subject to adjustment as provided herein). The shares of stock issuable upon exercise of this Common Stock Purchase Warrant (“ Warrant ”) are referred to hereinafter as the “ Warrant Shares ”.

 

This Warrant is issued pursuant to, and is subject to the terms and conditions of, that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented, extended or restated, from time to time, the Purchase Agreement ”) by and among Digital, the Registered Holder, and Appia, Inc. (“ Appia ”). All capitalized terms used though not defined herein but defined in the Purchase Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

 

1.            Vesting; Number of Shares . This Warrant shall become fully vested on the date with is twelve (12) months from the date hereof (the “ Vesting Date ”) if, and only if , all interest, principal and other amounts owed to the Registered Holder pursuant to that certain Debenture issued by Appia on or about the date hereof (the “ Obligations ”) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement have not been paid in full on or before such Vesting Date. In the event the Obligations have been paid in full on or before the Vesting Date, then effective upon payment of the Obligations, this Warrant shall expire and be of no further force or effect. If this Warrant shall not have vested on the Vesting Date, then this Warrant shall automatically expire and be of no further force or effect. If and when this Warrant is vested, subject to the other terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Registered Holder shall then be entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant, to purchase from Digital up to Four Hundred Thousand (400,000) shares of Digital Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided herein).

2.             Exercise .

 

(a)           Manner of Exercise . This Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder, in whole or in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase/exercise form appended hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such Registered Holder or by such Registered Holder’s duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of Digital, or at such other office or agency as Digital may designate, accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price payable in respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise (the “ Purchase Price ”). The Purchase Price may be paid by cash, check, wire transfer, or by the surrender of promissory notes or other instruments representing indebtedness of Digital to the Registered Holder.

 

(b)           Effective Time of Exercise . Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to Digital as provided in Section 2(a) hereinabove. At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 2(d) hereinbelow shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares to be represented by such certificates.

 

(c)           Net Issue Exercise .

 

(i)          In lieu of exercising this Warrant in the manner provided in Section 2(a) hereinabove, the Registered Holder may elect to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of Digital together with notice of such election on the purchase/exercise form appended hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such Registered Holder or such Registered Holder’s duly authorized attorney, in which event Digital shall issue to such Registered Holder a number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y (A - B)
    A

 

Where X = The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Registered Holder.
     
  Y = The number of shares of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being cancelled (at the date of such calculation).
     
  A = The fair market value of one Warrant Share (at the date of such calculation).
     
  B = The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

(ii)         For purposes of this Section 2(c) , the fair market value of one Warrant Share on the date of calculation shall mean:

 

- 2 -
 

 

(A)         as of any particular date: (1) the volume weighted average of the closing sales prices of Digital Common Stock for such day on all domestic securities exchanges on which Digital Common Stock may at the time be listed; (2) if there have been no sales of Digital Common Stock on any such exchange on any such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for Digital Common Stock on all such exchanges at the end of such day; (3) if on any such day Digital Common Stock is not listed on a domestic securities exchange, the closing sales price of Digital Common Stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets, or similar quotation system or association for such day; or (4) if there have been no sales of Digital Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets, or similar quotation system or association on such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for Digital Common Stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association at the end of such day; in each case, averaged over twenty (20) consecutive Business Days ending on the Business Day immediately prior to the day as of which fair market value is being determined; provided, that if Digital Common Stock is listed on any domestic securities exchange, the term "Business Day" as used in this sentence means Business Days on which such exchange is open for trading.

 

(B)         if item (A) hereinabove is not applicable, then the fair market value of a Warrant Share shall be the highest price per share which Digital could obtain on the date of calculation from a hypothetical willing, able, sophisticated and experienced buyer (but not a current employee or director), acting at arms length in an open and unrestricted market, when neither is under compulsion to buy or sell and when both have reasonable knowledge of all relevant facts, with such price to be determined in good faith by the Digital Board and the Registered Holder, unless Digital is at such time subject to a Liquidity Event (as described in Section 7(d) below) in which case the fair market value of a Warrant Share shall be deemed to be the value received by the holders of such stock pursuant to such event. If Digital, on the one hand, and the Registered Holder, on the other hand, cannot agree upon the fair market value of a Warrant Share under this paragraph, then the dispute shall be settled by the appointment of an independent third-party arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

 

(d)           Delivery to Holder . As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, Digital at its expense shall cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder:

 

(i)          a certificate or certificates for the number of Warrant Shares to which such Registered Holder shall be entitled, and

 

(ii)         in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor and calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of Warrant Shares equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the Registered Holder upon such exercise as provided in Section 2(a) or 2(c) hereinabove (without giving effect to any adjustment thereto).

 

(e)           Payment of Dividends . If, between the issue and exercise dates of this Warrant:

 

- 3 -
 

 

(i)          Digital shall have declared and paid dividends on Digital Common Stock, then upon exercise of this Warrant, the Registered Holder shall be entitled to receive payment from Digital of an amount equal to any dividend payment to which such Registered Holder would have been entitled if such Registered Holder had exercised this Warrant prior to the declaration and payment of said dividends; and

 

(ii)         any dividends shall have accrued on Digital Common Stock, or shall have been declared on Digital Common Stock but be unpaid thereon, then, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Warrant Shares shall automatically and without further action on the part of Digital or the Registered Holder (unless the Registered Holder otherwise agrees) be deemed to have accrued an amount of dividends that would have accrued on such Warrant Shares if such Warrant Shares had been issued on the date hereof and be entitled to receive payment from Digital of an amount equal to any declared, but unpaid, dividend at the same time, and on the same terms and conditions, as the other holders of Digital Common Stock.

 

3.             Adjustments .

 

(a)           Stock Splits and Dividends . If outstanding shares of Digital Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Digital Common Stock or other Capital Stock of Digital, or a dividend of other or additional Capital Stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of Digital shall be paid in respect of such Digital Common Stock, then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or immediately after the record date of such dividend be proportionately reduced. If outstanding shares of Digital Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Exercise Price, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment. If an adjustment in the Exercise Price made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below par value of Digital Common Stock, then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Exercise Price to the par value of Digital Common Stock.

 

(b)           Reclassification, Etc . In case there occurs any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of Digital (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the Registered Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change or reorganization shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such Registered Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Registered Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3 .

 

- 4 -
 

 

(c)           Adjustment Certificate . When any adjustment is required to be made to the Warrant Shares or the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 3 , Digital shall promptly mail to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth (i) a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, (ii) the Exercise Price after such adjustment, and (iii) the kind and amount of stock or other securities or property into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1.       DEFINITIONS .  

 

All capitalized terms not defined herein but defined in Appendix A attached hereto shall have the meanings given to such terms in Appendix A . All terms defined in this Agreement shall also have such defined meanings when used in the other Financing Documents or any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, unless otherwise specified herein or therein.

 

All references in this Agreement to Sections, Subsections, Exhibits, Schedules and Appendices refer to the Sections, Subsections, Exhibits, Schedules and Appendices of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.

2.2               Subordination . Appia hereby represents that Appia and its Subsidiaries, if any exist, currently owe the Indebtedness set forth on Schedule 2.2 (which does not and shall not exceed Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) of Senior Debt, and does not and shall not exceed One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in Purchase Money Indebtedness) (“ Existing Senior Debt ”) which is secured by the assets set forth on Schedule 2.2 .

At such time as the Senior Debt is less than Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) in the aggregate, if Appia desires to incur Senior Debt not set forth on Schedule 2.2 (“ New Senior Debt ”), the Purchaser shall agree to subordinate the payment of the principal of and interest on the New Debenture in a commercially reasonable manner, substantially pursuant to the terms of a subordination agreement described in the following sentence, to the payment of such New Senior Debt incurred by Appia in an amount which, together with all existing Senior Debt, shall not exceed Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00). The Purchaser agrees, upon request of any future holder of such New Senior Debt or Replacement Senior Debt, to enter into a commercially reasonable subordination agreement for the benefit of such future holder of such New Senior Debt or Replacement Senior Debt; provided , however , that such subordination agreement shall be on terms which are commercially reasonable and reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, as determined by the Purchaser in its good faith discretion, and shall, among other provisions, permit payment of principal and interest under the New Debenture according to its terms unless the Existing, New, or Replacement Senior Debt (as applicable) is in default under the terms thereof.

(a)              Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.4 to the contrary, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or if Appia shall fail to pay any interest on the New Debenture within fifteen (15) days after any such interest becomes due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents (an “ Interest Default ”), the unpaid principal balance outstanding under the New Debenture and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest at a rate per annum (hereinafter referred to as the “ Default Rate ”) equal to Sixteen and 00/100 Percent (16.00%), in each case from the date of the occurrence of the Event of Default or Interest Default until such Event of Default or Interest Default is waived or cured.

1.1 Shelf Registration .

 

(a) As promptly as reasonably possible, and in any event on or prior to the later of (i) the 15 th Business Day after the Closing Date or (ii) the 5 th Business Day after the date on which all audited financial statements required to be included in or incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement (as such term is hereinafter defined) are available (in either case, the “Filing Date”), Digital shall prepare and file with the SEC a "shelf" Registration Statement covering the resale of all Common Shares and Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”) for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (the “Registration Statement”). If for any reason the SEC does not permit all of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement, then Digital shall prepare and file with the SEC a separate Registration Statement with respect to any such Registrable Securities not included with the initial Registration Statements, as expeditiously as possible, but in no event later than the date which is 30 days after the date on which the SEC shall indicate as being the first date such filing may be made. The Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3; in the event Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, Digital shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form in accordance herewith as the Purchaser may consent and (ii) attempt to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that Digital shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statements then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.

 

(b) Digital shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as reasonably possible after the filing thereof, and shall use its best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the date that the Registration Statement is first declared effective by the SEC (the “Effective Date”), (ii) the date when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold publicly, or (iii) the date on which the Registrable Securities are eligible for sale without registration and without volume limitation pursuant to Rule 144 (the "Effectiveness Period"); provided, however, that if the Warrant expires on or before the Vesting Date (as such term is defined in the Warrant) because the Obligations (as such term is defined in the Warrant) have been paid in full, then the Effectiveness Period shall expire no later than the second anniversary of the Effective Date. Digital shall notify the Purchaser in writing promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) after receiving notification from the SEC that the Registration Statement has been declared effective.

 

(c) As promptly as reasonably possible, and in any event no later than the 7 th day after the Registration Statement ceases to be effective pursuant to applicable securities laws due to the passage of time or the occurrence of an event requiring Digital to file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, Digital shall prepare and file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement (a “Post-Effective Amendment”). Digital shall use its best efforts to cause the Post-Effective Amendment to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as possible after the filing thereof. Digital shall notify the Purchaser in writing promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) after receiving notification from the SEC that the Post-Effective Amendment has been declared effective.

(c) Notify the Purchaser and Purchaser Counsel as promptly as reasonably possible, and confirm such notice in writing no later than one day thereafter, of any of the following events: (i) the SEC notifies Digital whether there will be a "review" of any Registration Statement; (ii) the SEC comments in writing on any Registration Statement (in which case Digital shall deliver to the Purchaser and Purchaser Counsel a copy of such comments and of all written responses thereto); (iii) any Registration Statement or any Post-Effective Amendment is declared effective; (iv) the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority requests any amendment or supplement to any Registration Statement or Prospectus or requests additional information related thereto; (v) the SEC issues any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or initiates any proceedings for that purpose; (vi) Digital receives notice of any suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose; or (vii) the financial statements included or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement become ineligible for inclusion or incorporation therein or any statement made in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference is untrue in any material respect or any revision to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other document is required so that it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

(d) Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as soon as possible.

 

(e) Furnish to the Purchaser and Purchaser Counsel, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the SEC.

 

B- 2
 

 

(f) Promptly deliver to the Purchaser and Purchaser Counsel, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as they may reasonably request.

(g) (i) In the time and manner required by each Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such Registrable Securities to be approved for listing on each Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter; (iii) provide to the Purchaser evidence of such listing; and (iv) maintain the listing of such Registrable Securities on each such Trading Market or another Eligible Market.

(i) Cooperate with the Purchaser to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any the Purchaser may request.

 

(j) Upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 1.2(c)(vii), as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b) Indemnification by Purchaser . The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Digital, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls Digital (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject to appeal or review) arising solely out of any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by the Purchaser to Digital specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or to the extent that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding the Purchaser furnished in writing to Digital by the Purchaser expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to the Purchaser or the Purchaser's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by the Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 1.2(c)(v)-(vii), the use by the Purchaser of an outdated or defective Prospectus after Digital has notified the Purchaser in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by the Purchaser of the Advice contemplated in Section 1.5. In no event shall the liability of any selling Purchaser hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Purchaser upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

B- 4
 

 

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an "Indemnified Party"), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

 

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

 

All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 1.4) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

 

(d) Contribution . If a claim for indemnification under Section 1.4(a) or (b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), 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, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses 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 of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or 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 action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.4(c), any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.4 was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

 

B- 5
 

 

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 1.4(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.4(d), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by the Purchaser from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that the Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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 indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 1.4 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

 

1.5 Dispositions .

 

Each Purchaser agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. Each Purchaser further agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from Digital of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Sections 1.2(c)(v), (vi) or (vii), the Purchaser will discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until the Purchaser's receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement contemplated by Section 1.2(j), or until it is advised in writing (the "Advice") by Digital that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. Digital may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

 

1.6 Piggy-Back Registrations.

 

If at any time during the Effectiveness Period there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and Digital shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then Digital shall send to the Purchaser written notice of such determination and if, within fifteen days after receipt of such notice, the Purchaser shall so request in writing, Digital shall include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities the Purchaser requests to be registered.

UNCONDITIONAL SECURED GUARANTY AND PLEDGE AGREEMENT

 

This UNCONDITIONAL SECURED GUARANTY AND PLEDGE AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”) is entered into as of March 6, 2015, by DIGITAL TURBINE, INC. (f/k/a Mandalay Digital Group, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“ Guarantor ”), in favor of NORTH ATLANTIC SBIC IV, L.P. , a Delaware limited partnership (“ Purchaser ”).

 

For and in consideration of all extensions of credit, loans and other financial accommodations provided by Purchaser to Appia, Inc. (“ Borrower ”), which loans were and/or will be made pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement among Borrower, Guarantor and Purchaser, dated of even date herewith, as amended from time to time, and any and all duly made modifications, extensions or renewals thereof (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the prompt and complete payment of all Obligations and Borrower’s performance of the Purchase Agreement and the other Financing Documents according to their terms. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them under the Purchase Agreement. This is the “Digital Guaranty” contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and is subject to the provisions of a certain Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement, dated of even date herewith, between Silicon Valley Bank (“ SVB ”) and Purchaser.

 

Section 1 – GUARANTEE

 

1.1            If Borrower does not pay or perform when due any Obligations, Guarantor shall upon demand by Purchaser immediately pay to Purchaser or perform such Obligations (“ Guarantor Obligations ”).

 

1.2            The obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether action is brought against Borrower or whether Borrower be joined in any such action or actions. Guarantor waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Guarantor’s liability under this Agreement is not conditioned or contingent upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Financing Documents.

 

1.3            Purchaser’s right to (a) renew, extend or otherwise change the terms of the Financing Documents or any part thereof, (b) take security for the payment due under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, (c) exchange, enforce, waive or release any such security, and (d) apply any security and direct its sale as Purchaser, in its discretion, chooses, shall not affect the Guarantor’s obligations or liability hereunder.

 

 
 

 

1.4            Guarantor waives any right to require Purchaser to (a) proceed against Borrower or any other Person; (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower or any other Person; or (c) pursue any other remedy in Purchaser’s power whatsoever. Purchaser may, at its election, exercise, decline or fail to exercise, any right or remedy it may have against Borrower or any security held by Purchaser, including without limitation the right to foreclose upon any such security by judicial or nonjudicial sale, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Guarantor hereunder. Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other guarantor, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower or any other guarantor. Guarantor waives any setoff, defense or counterclaim that Borrower or Guarantor may have against Purchaser, other than payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations). Guarantor waives any defense arising out of the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement or subrogation or any other rights against Borrower. Until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been paid in full, (1) Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation or reimbursement for claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (2) Guarantor shall have no right of contribution or other rights against Borrower in connection with the Obligations, (3) Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy that Purchaser now has or may hereafter have against Borrower, and (4) Guarantor waives all rights to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Purchaser. Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of acceptance of this Agreement and of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Indebtedness. Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any Indebtedness or nonperformance of any obligation of Borrower, warrants to Purchaser that it will keep so informed, and agrees that absent a request for particular information by Guarantor, Purchaser shall have no duty to advise Guarantor of information known to Purchaser regarding such condition or any such circumstances.

 

1.5            If Borrower becomes insolvent, is adjudicated bankrupt, or files a petition for reorganization, arrangement, composition or similar relief under any present or future provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code or reorganization or insolvency laws of any applicable jurisdiction, or if such a petition is filed against Borrower, and in any such proceeding some or all of any Indebtedness or obligations under the Purchase Agreement are terminated or rejected or any obligation of Borrower is modified or abrogated, or if Borrower’s obligations are otherwise avoided for any reason, Guarantor agrees that Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not thereby be affected or modified and such liability shall continue in full force and effect as if no such action or proceeding had occurred until payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations). This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if any payment must be returned by Purchaser upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of a Borrower or any other guarantor or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made until payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations).

 

1.6            Any Indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter held by Guarantor is hereby subordinated to any Indebtedness of Borrower to Purchaser; and such Indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantor as trustee for Purchaser and be paid over to Purchaser in the form received, with any necessary endorsements thereon, on account of the Indebtedness of Borrower to Purchaser but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Agreement.

Section 2 – GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST

 

2.1           To secure the payment and performance of all of the Guarantor Obligations when due, Guarantor hereby grants Purchaser, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Purchaser, the Collateral (as defined below), wherever located, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. Guarantor represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a second priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted to have superior priority to Purchaser’s Lien under this Agreement). If Guarantor shall acquire a commercial tort claim in an amount greater than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), Guarantor shall promptly notify Purchaser in a writing signed by Guarantor of the general details thereof and grant to Purchaser in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. “ Collateral ” means all of Guarantor’s right, title and interest in and to the following:

 

(a)           All goods, Accounts (including health-care receivables), Equipment, Inventory, contract rights or rights to payment of money, leases, license agreements, franchise agreements, General Intangibles, commercial tort claims, documents, instruments (including any promissory notes), chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), cash, deposit accounts, fixtures, letter-of-credit rights (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), securities, and all other investment property, supporting obligations, and financial assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, wherever located; and

 

(b)           all Guarantor’s Books relating to the foregoing, and any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above and all substitutions for, additions, attachments, accessories, accessions and improvements to and replacements, products, proceeds and insurance proceeds of any or all of the foregoing. For the purposes of this Agreement, “ Guarantor’s Books ” are all Guarantor’s books and records including ledgers, federal and state tax returns, records regarding Guarantor’s assets or liabilities, the Collateral, business operations or financial condition, and all computer programs or storage or any equipment containing such information.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Collateral does not include any of the following: (i) more than 65% of the presently existing and hereafter arising issued and outstanding shares of capital stock owned by Guarantor of any Foreign Subsidiary which shares entitle the holder thereof to vote for directors or any other matter, (ii) any intent-to-use trademarks at all times prior to the first use thereof, whether by the actual use thereof in commerce, the recording of a statement of use with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or otherwise; (iii) any interest of Guarantor as a lessee or sublessee under a real property lease; (iv) rights held under a license that are not assignable by their terms without the consent of the licensor thereof (but only to the extent such restriction on assignment is enforceable under applicable law); or (v) any interest of Guarantor as a lessee under an Equipment lease if Guarantor is prohibited by the terms of such lease from granting a security interest in such lease or under which such an assignment or Lien would cause a default to occur under such lease; provided, however, that upon termination of such prohibition, such interest shall immediately become Collateral without any action by Guarantor or Purchaser.

 

2.2           Guarantor hereby authorizes Purchaser to file financing statements, without notice to Guarantor, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Purchaser’s interest or rights hereunder. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Purchaser’s discretion.

Section 3 – PLEDGE

 

3.1           As security for the full, prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether by stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all the Guarantor Obligations, Guarantor hereby pledges to Purchaser, and grants to Purchaser, a second priority security interest in all of the following (collectively, the “ Pledged Collateral ”):

 

(a)           the shares of capital stock or other equity securities of the entities listed on Exhibit A attached hereto, now owned or hereafter acquired (whether in connection with any recapitalization, reclassification, or reorganization of the capital of such entities or any successors in interest thereto) by Guarantor, subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2.1(c)(i) (the “ Pledged Shares ”), together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other monies and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing. On the date that is no later than seven (7) days from the date hereof, (i) the certificate or certificates representing the Pledged Shares will be delivered to SVB to be held for itself and as bailee for Purchaser, and (ii) an instrument of assignment duly executed in blank by Guarantor will be delivered to Purchaser. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Pledged Shares, Guarantor shall cause the books of each entity whose Pledged Shares are part of the Pledged Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Pledged Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Purchaser may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Pledged Collateral (including but not limited to the Pledged Shares) into the name of Purchaser and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Purchaser or its transferee;

 

(b)           all voting trust certificates held by Guarantor evidencing the right to vote any Pledged Shares subject to any voting trust; and

 

(c)           all additional shares and voting trust certificates of the entities listed on Exhibit A from time to time acquired by Guarantor in any manner, subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2.1(c)(i) (which additional shares shall be deemed to be part of the Pledged Shares), and the certificates representing such additional shares, and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such Pledged Shares.

 

3.2           Guarantor agrees to pay prior to delinquency all taxes, charges, Liens and assessments, in each case imposed by any Governmental Authority, against the Pledged Collateral, except those with respect to which the amount or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of Guarantor, and upon the failure of Guarantor to do so, contemporaneous with written notice thereof from Purchaser to Guarantor, Purchaser at its option may pay any of them.

 

4
 

 

3.3            In the event that during the term of this Agreement, any reclassification, readjustment, or other change is declared or made in the capital structure of the issuer of the Pledged Shares, all new, substituted and additional shares, options, or other securities, issued or issuable to Guarantor by reason of any such change or exercise shall be delivered to and held by SVB, if any Senior Debt to SVB is then outstanding, to hold for itself and as bailee for Purchaser, or, if no Senior Debt to SVB is then outstanding, to Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement in the same manner as the Pledged Collateral originally pledged hereunder.

 

3.4            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Guarantor may exercise any rights under the Pledged Shares to vote such Pledged Shares and receive dividends in respect of such Pledged Shares while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

3.5            So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and Guarantor shall be entitled to receive and to retain and use free and clear of the Lien created hereby any and all non-cash profits, non-cash dividends, or distributions in the form of capital stock, instruments or other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral; provided , however , that any and all non-cash profits, non-cash dividends, or distributions in the form of capital stock, instruments or other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, shall promptly be delivered to Purchaser to be held as Collateral and shall, if received by Guarantor, be received in trust for the benefit of Purchaser, be segregated from the other property of Guarantor, and promptly be delivered to Purchaser as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

7
 

 

(b)           Timely file, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely file, all required tax returns and reports and timely pay, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely pay, all foreign, federal, state and material local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Guarantor and each of its Subsidiaries, except for deferred payment of any contested taxes, provided that Guarantor (i) in good faith contests its obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (ii) notifies Purchaser in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, (iii) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to prevent the governmental authority levying such contested taxes from obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a “Permitted Lien,” and shall deliver to Purchaser, on reasonable demand, appropriate certificates attesting to such payments, and pay all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms;

 

(c)           Keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts standard for companies in Guarantor’s industry and location. Insurance policies shall be in a form, with companies, and in amounts standard for companies in Guarantor’s industry and location. All property policies shall have a lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Purchaser as a lender loss payee and waive subrogation against Purchaser. All liability policies shall show, or have endorsements showing, Purchaser as an additional insured. All policies (or their respective endorsements) shall provide that the insurer shall give Purchaser at least thirty (30) days notice before canceling its policy (ten (10) days notice before canceling its policy for non-payment of premium). At Purchaser’s reasonable request, Guarantor shall deliver certified copies of policies and evidence of all premium payments. If an Event of Default exists, proceeds payable under any policy shall, at Purchaser’s option, be payable to Purchaser on account of the Guarantor Obligations unless SVB has prior rights thereto. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds payable under such casualty policy shall, at the option of Purchaser, be payable to Purchaser on account of the Guarantor Obligations unless SVB has prior rights thereto. If Guarantor fails to obtain insurance as required under this Section 5.1(c) or to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons and Purchaser, Purchaser may make all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance policies required in this Section 5.1(c), and take any action under the policies Purchaser deems prudent.

(d)           Provide Purchaser five (5) days prior written notice before establishing any Collateral Account at or with any bank or financial institution. For each Collateral Account that Guarantor at any time maintains in the United States, Guarantor shall cause the applicable bank or financial institution at or with which any Collateral Account is maintained to execute and deliver a Control Agreement or other appropriate instrument with respect to such Collateral Account to perfect Purchaser’s Lien in such Collateral Account in accordance with the terms hereunder which Control Agreement may not be terminated without the prior written consent of Purchaser unless this Agreement and Purchaser’s Liens hereunder are terminated. The provisions of the previous sentence shall not apply to (i) deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of Guarantor’s employees and identified to Purchaser by Guarantor as such, or (ii) other Collateral Accounts holding balances not in excess of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000) in the aggregate at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guarantor shall not be required to deliver Control Agreements pursuant to this Section 5.1(d) until the date that is thirty (30) days from the date hereof;

 

8
 

 

(e)           (i) Protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of its Intellectual Property material to its business; (ii) promptly advise Purchaser in writing of material infringements of its Intellectual Property material to its business; (iii) not allow any Intellectual Property material to Guarantor’s business to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without Purchaser’s written consent, and (iv) provide written notice to Purchaser (which may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which Guarantor posts such documents, or provides a link thereto, on Guarantor’s website on the Internet at Guarantor’s website address) within ten (10) days of entering or becoming bound by any Restricted License (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public). Guarantor shall take such commercially reasonable steps as Purchaser requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for (A) any Restricted License to be deemed “Collateral” and for Purchaser to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such Restricted License, whether now existing or entered into in the future, and (B) Purchaser to have the ability in the event of a liquidation of any Collateral to dispose of such Collateral in accordance with Purchaser’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents;

 

(f)           Allow Purchaser, or its agents, at reasonable times, on three (3) Business Days’ notice (provided no notice is required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect the Collateral and audit and copy Guarantor’s Books. Such inspections or audits shall be conducted no more often than once every twelve (12) months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Guarantor’s expense, and the charge therefor shall be $850 per person per day (or such higher amount as shall be equal to Purchaser’s then-current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In the event Guarantor and Purchaser schedule an audit more than ten (10) days in advance, and Guarantor cancels or seeks to reschedule the audit with less than ten (10) days written notice to Purchaser, then (without limiting any of Purchaser’s rights or remedies), Guarantor shall pay Purchaser a fee of $1,000 plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser to compensate Purchaser for the anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation or rescheduling;

 

(g)           Guarantor shall, at any time and from time to time, execute and deliver such further instruments and take such further action as may reasonably be requested by Purchaser to effect the purposes of this Agreement;

 

(h)           Guarantor shall make any payments and do any act reasonably necessary or convenient to protect the Collateral and the value of Purchaser’s interest therein. If Guarantor fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third Persons as required hereunder, Purchaser may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies, and take any action under the policies as Purchaser deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Purchaser are immediately due from and payable by Guarantor, bearing interest at the Default Rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Purchaser are an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Purchaser’s waiver of any Event of Default; and

 

9
 

 

(i)           (i) Maintain its and all its Subsidiaries’ legal existence and good standing in their respective jurisdictions of formation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Guarantor’s business or operations; (ii) comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, with all laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject, noncompliance with which could have a material adverse effect on Guarantor’s business; (iii) obtain all of the Governmental Approvals necessary for the performance by Guarantor of its obligations under the Financing Documents to which it is a party and the grant of a security interest to Purchaser in all of its property; and (iv) promptly provide copies of any such obtained Governmental Approvals to Purchaser.

 

5.2           Guarantor shall not do any of the following without Purchaser’s prior written consent:

If any Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in violation of this Section 5.3, the security interest of Purchaser shall continue in the Pledged Collateral, to the extent permitted under applicable law, notwithstanding such sale, transfer or other disposition, and Guarantor will deliver any proceeds thereof to Purchaser to be held as Pledged Collateral hereunder;

 

(b)           shall, at Guarantor’s own expense, promptly execute, acknowledge, and deliver all such instruments and take all such actions as Purchaser from time to time may reasonably request to ensure to Purchaser the benefits of the Lien in and to the Pledged Collateral intended to be created by this Agreement;

 

12
 

 

(c)           shall maintain, preserve and, at Purchaser’s request, use commercially reasonable efforts to defend the title to the Pledged Collateral and the Lien of Purchaser thereon against the claim of any other Person; and

Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are not limited to the Collateral or any exercise by Purchaser of rights and remedies against the same, and Purchaser may pursue any other available rights and remedies against Guarantor, whether hereunder, at law or otherwise, without resort to the Collateral if Purchaser deems it in its best interests to do so.

 

6.2           During the existence and continuation of an Event of Default,

 

(a)           Purchaser may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at its election, apply, set off, collect or sell in one or more sales, or take such steps as may be necessary to liquidate and reduce to cash in the hands of Purchaser in whole or in part, with or without any previous demands or demand of performance or notice or advertisement, the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral in such order as Purchaser may elect, and any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business or elsewhere, or at any broker’s board or securities exchange, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery; provided , however , that if such disposition is at private sale, then the purchase price of the Pledged Collateral shall be equal to the public market price then in effect, or, if at the time of sale no public market for the Pledged Collateral exists, then, in recognition of the fact that the sale of the Pledged Collateral would have to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Act ”), and that the expenses of such registration are commercially unreasonable for the type and amount of collateral pledged hereunder, Purchaser and Guarantor hereby agree that such private sale shall be at a purchase price mutually agreed to by Purchaser and Guarantor or, if the parties cannot agree upon a purchase price, then at a purchase price established by Purchaser in the exercise of its reasonable discretion. Purchaser shall be under no obligation to delay the sale of any of the Pledged Shares for the period of time necessary to permit Guarantor to register such securities for public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Guarantor would agree to do so. Purchaser may be the purchaser of any or all Pledged Collateral so sold and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of Guarantor or right of redemption. To the extent permitted by applicable law, demands of performance, notices of sale, advertisements and presence of property at sale are hereby waived. Any sale hereunder may be conducted by any officer or agent of Purchaser; and

 

13
 

 

  (b)           Purchaser shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the Code with respect to the Pledged Collateral. Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are not limited to the Pledged Collateral or any exercise by Purchaser of rights and remedies against the same, and Purchaser may pursue any other available rights and remedies against any Guarantor, whether hereunder, at law or otherwise, without resort to the Pledged Collateral if Purchaser deems it in its best interests to do so.

 

6.3            During the existence of an Event of Default, the proceeds of the sale of any of the Pledged Collateral and all sums received or collected by Purchaser from or on account of such Pledged Collateral under Section 6.3 shall be applied by Purchaser to the payment of expenses incurred or paid by Purchaser in connection with any sale, transfer or delivery of the Pledged Collateral, to the payment of any other costs, charges, attorneys’ fees or expenses mentioned herein, and to the payment of the Obligations or any part hereof, all in such order and manner as Purchaser in its discretion may determine.

 

6.4            Upon the transfer by Purchaser of all or any part of the Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser may transfer all or any part of the Pledged Collateral to the transferee of the Obligations and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility with respect to such Pledged Collateral so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all the rights and powers of Purchaser hereunder with respect to such Pledged Collateral so transferred; but with respect to any Pledged Collateral not so transferred, Purchaser shall retain all rights and powers hereby given.

Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other guarantor, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower or any other guarantor.

Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of acceptance of this Agreement and of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Indebtedness. Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any Indebtedness or nonperformance of any obligation of Borrower, warrants to Bank that it will keep so informed, and agrees that absent a request for particular information by Guarantor, Bank shall have no duty to advise Guarantor of information known to Bank regarding such condition or any such circumstances. Guarantor waives the benefits of California Civil Code sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2845, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433.

1.5 If Borrower becomes insolvent, is adjudicated bankrupt or files a petition for reorganization, arrangement, composition or similar relief under any present or future provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code or reorganization or insolvency laws of any applicable jurisdiction, or if such a petition is filed against Borrower, and in any such proceeding some or all of any Indebtedness or obligations under the Loan Agreement are terminated or rejected or any obligation of Borrower is modified or abrogated, or if Borrower’s obligations are otherwise avoided for any reason, Guarantor agrees that Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not thereby be affected or modified and such liability shall continue in full force and effect as if no such action or proceeding had occurred until payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations). This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if any payment must be returned by Bank upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of a Borrower or any other guarantor or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made until payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations).

 

1.6 Any Indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter held by Guarantor is hereby subordinated to any Indebtedness of Borrower to Bank; and such Indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantor as trustee for Bank and be paid over to Bank on account of the Indebtedness of Borrower to Bank but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 2 – GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST

 

2.1 To secure the payment and performance of all of the Guarantor Obligations when due, Guarantor hereby grants Bank, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Bank, the Collateral (as defined below), wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. Guarantor represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted to have superior priority to Bank’s Lien under this Agreement). If Guarantor shall acquire a commercial tort claim in an amount greater than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), Guarantor shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Guarantor of the general details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank. “ Collateral ” means all of Guarantor’s right, title and interest in and to the following:

 

2
 

(a) All goods, Accounts (including health-care receivables), Equipment, Inventory, contract rights or rights to payment of money, leases, license agreements, franchise agreements, General Intangibles, commercial tort claims, documents, instruments (including any promissory notes), chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), cash, deposit accounts, fixtures, letter-of-credit rights (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), securities, and all other investment property, supporting obligations, and financial assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, wherever located; and

 

(b) all Guarantor’s Books relating to the foregoing, and any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above and all substitutions for, additions, attachments, accessories, accessions and improvements to and replacements, products, proceeds and insurance proceeds of any or all of the foregoing. For the purposes of this Agreement, “ Guarantor’s Books ” are all Guarantor’s books and records including ledgers, federal and state tax returns, records regarding Guarantor’s assets or liabilities, the Collateral, business operations or financial condition, and all computer programs or storage or any equipment containing such information.

 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Collateral does not include any of the following: (i) more than 65% of the presently existing and hereafter arising issued and outstanding shares of capital stock owned by Guarantor of any Foreign Subsidiary which shares entitle the holder thereof to vote for directors or any other matter, (ii) any intent-to-use trademarks at all times prior to the first use thereof, whether by the actual use thereof in commerce, the recording of a statement of use with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or otherwise; (iii) any interest of Guarantor as a lessee or sublessee under a real property lease; (iv) rights held under a license that are not assignable by their terms without the consent of the licensor thereof (but only to the extent such restriction on assignment is enforceable under applicable law); or (v) any interest of Guarantor as a lessee under an Equipment lease if Guarantor is prohibited by the terms of such lease from granting a security interest in such lease or under which such an assignment or Lien would cause a default to occur under such lease; provided, however, that upon termination of such prohibition, such interest shall immediately become Collateral without any action by Guarantor or Bank.

 

2.2 Guarantor hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Guarantor, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Bank’s discretion.

 

3
 

Section 3 – PLEDGE

 

3.1 As security for the full, prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether by stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all the Guarantor Obligations, Guarantor hereby pledges to Bank, and grants to Bank, a first priority security interest in all of the following (collectively, the “ Pledged Collateral ”):

 

(a) the shares of capital stock or other equity securities of the entities listed on Exhibit A attached hereto, now owned or hereafter acquired (whether in connection with any recapitalization, reclassification, or reorganization of the capital of such entities or any successors in interest thereto) by Guarantor, subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2.1(c)(i) (the “ Pledged Shares ”), together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other monies and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing. On the date that is no later than seven (7) days from the date hereof, the certificate or certificates representing the Pledged Shares will be delivered to Bank, accompanied by an instrument of assignment duly executed in blank by Guarantor. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Pledged Shares, Guarantor shall cause the books of each entity whose Pledged Shares are part of the Pledged Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Pledged Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Bank may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Pledged Collateral (including but not limited to the Pledged Shares) into the name of Bank and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Bank or its transferee;

 

(b) all voting trust certificates held by Guarantor evidencing the right to vote any Pledged Shares subject to any voting trust; and

 

(c) all additional shares and voting trust certificates of the entities listed on Exhibit A from time to time acquired by Guarantor in any manner, subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2.1(c)(i) (which additional shares shall be deemed to be part of the Pledged Shares), and the certificates representing such additional shares, and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such Pledged Shares.

 

3.2 Guarantor agrees to pay prior to delinquency all taxes, charges, Liens and assessments, in each case imposed by any Governmental Authority, against the Pledged Collateral, except those with respect to which the amount or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of Guarantor, and upon the failure of Guarantor to do so, contemporaneous with written notice thereof from Bank to Guarantor, Bank at its option may pay any of them.

 

3.3 In the event that during the term of this Agreement, any reclassification, readjustment, or other change is declared or made in the capital structure of the issuer of the Pledged Shares, all new, substituted and additional shares, options, or other securities, issued or issuable to Guarantor by reason of any such change or exercise shall be delivered to and held by Bank under the terms of this Agreement in the same manner as the Pledged Collateral originally pledged hereunder.

 

4
 

3.4 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Guarantor may exercise any rights under the Pledged Shares to vote such Pledged Shares and receive dividends in respect of such Pledged Shares while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 5 – COVENANTS

 

5.1 Guarantor covenants and agrees to the following:

 

(a) Deliver to Bank, (i) within five (5) days of filing, copies of all periodic and other reports, proxy statements and other materials filed by Guarantor with the SEC, any Governmental Authority succeeding to any or all of the functions of the SEC or with any national securities exchange, or distributed to its shareholders, as the case may be. Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the terms hereof (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the SEC) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which Guarantor posts such documents, or provides a link thereto, on Guarantor’s website on the Internet at Guarantor’s website address, (ii) a prompt report of any legal actions pending or threatened in writing against Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries that could result in damages or costs to Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries of, individually or in the aggregate, Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or more, and (iii) financial information reasonably requested by Bank;

 

(b) Timely file, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely file, all required tax returns and reports and timely pay, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely pay, all foreign, federal, state and material local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Guarantor and each of its Subsidiaries, except for deferred payment of any contested taxes, provided that Guarantor (i) in good faith contests its obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (ii) notifies Bank in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, (iii) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to prevent the governmental authority levying such contested taxes from obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a “Permitted Lien,” and shall deliver to Bank, on reasonable demand, appropriate certificates attesting to such payments, and pay all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms;

 

(c) Keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts standard for companies in Guarantor’s industry and location. Insurance policies shall be in a form, with companies, and in amounts standard for companies in Guarantor’s industry and location. All property policies shall have a lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Bank as a lender loss payee and waive subrogation against Bank. All liability policies shall show, or have endorsements showing, Bank as an additional insured. All policies (or their respective endorsements) shall provide that the insurer shall give Bank at least thirty (30) days’ notice before canceling its policy (ten (10) days notice before canceling its policy for non-payment of premium). At Bank’s reasonable request, Guarantor shall deliver certified copies of policies and evidence of all premium payments. If an Event of Default exists, proceeds payable under any policy shall, at Bank’s option, be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds payable under such casualty policy shall, at the option of Bank, be payable to Bank on account of the Guarantor Obligations. If Guarantor fails to obtain insurance as required under this Section 5.1(c) or to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons and Bank, Bank may make all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance policies required in this Section 5.1(c), and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guarantor shall not be required to deliver insurance endorsements pursuant to this Section 5.1(c) until the date that is thirty (30) days from the date hereof;

7
 

 

(d) Provide Bank five (5) days prior written notice before establishing any Collateral Account at or with any bank or financial institution other than Bank or Bank’s Affiliates. For each Collateral Account that Guarantor at any time maintains in the United States, Guarantor shall cause the applicable bank or financial institution (other than Bank) at or with which any Collateral Account is maintained to execute and deliver a Control Agreement or other appropriate instrument with respect to such Collateral Account to perfect Bank’s Lien in such Collateral Account in accordance with the terms hereunder which Control Agreement may not be terminated without the prior written consent of Bank unless this Agreement and Bank’s Liens hereunder are terminated. The provisions of the previous sentence shall not apply to (i) deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of Guarantor’s employees and identified to Bank by Guarantor as such, or (ii) other Collateral Accounts holding balances not in excess of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000) in the aggregate at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guarantor shall not be required to deliver Control Agreements pursuant to this Section 5.1(d) until the date that is thirty (30) days from the date hereof;

 

(e) (i) Protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of its Intellectual Property material to its business; (ii) promptly advise Bank in writing of material infringements of its Intellectual Property material to its business; (iii) not allow any Intellectual Property material to Guarantor’s business to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without Bank’s written consent, and (iv) provide written notice to Bank (which may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which Guarantor posts such documents, or provides a link thereto, on Guarantor’s website on the Internet at Guarantor’s website address) within ten (10) days of entering or becoming bound by any Restricted License (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public). Guarantor shall take such commercially reasonable steps as Bank requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for (A) any Restricted License to be deemed “Collateral” and for Bank to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such Restricted License, whether now existing or entered into in the future, and (B) Bank to have the ability in the event of a liquidation of any Collateral to dispose of such Collateral in accordance with Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

 

8
 

(f) Allow Bank, or its agents, at reasonable times, on three (3) Business Days’ notice (provided no notice is required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect the Collateral and audit and copy Guarantor’s Books. Such inspections or audits shall be conducted no more often than once every twelve (12) months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Guarantor’s expense, and the charge therefor shall be $850 per person per day (or such higher amount as shall represent Bank’s then-current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In the event Guarantor and Bank schedule an audit more than ten (10) days in advance, and Guarantor cancels or seeks to reschedule the audit with less than ten (10) days written notice to Bank, then (without limiting any of Bank’s rights or remedies), Guarantor shall pay Bank a fee of $1,000 plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Bank to compensate Bank for the anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation or rescheduling;

 

(g) Guarantor shall, at any time and from time to time, execute and deliver such further instruments and take such further action as may reasonably be requested by Bank to effect the purposes of this Agreement;

 

(h) Guarantor shall make any payments and do any act reasonably necessary or convenient to protect the Collateral and the value of Bank’s interest therein. If Guarantor fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third Persons as required hereunder, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies, and take any action under the policies as Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the Default Rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default; and

 

(i) (i) Maintain its and all its Subsidiaries’ legal existence and good standing in their respective jurisdictions of formation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Guarantor’s business or operations; (ii) comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, with all laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject, noncompliance with which could have a material adverse effect on Guarantor’s business; (iii) obtain all of the Governmental Approvals necessary for the performance by Guarantor of its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the grant of a security interest to Bank in all of its property; and (iv) promptly provide copies of any such obtained Governmental Approvals to Bank.

 

5.2 Guarantor shall not do any of the following without Bank’s prior written consent:

 

(a) Convey, sell, lease, transfer, assign, or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “ Transfer ”), or permit any of its Subsidiaries to Transfer, all or any part of its business or property, except for Transfers (a) of Inventory in the ordinary course of business; (b) of worn-out or obsolete Equipment or Equipment that is no longer useful for Guarantor’s business; (c) in connection with Permitted Liens and Investments that are not otherwise prohibited under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (d) of non-exclusive licenses for the use of the property of Guarantor or its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and licenses that could not result in a legal transfer of title of the licensed property but that may be exclusive in respects other than territory and that may be exclusive as to territory only as to discreet geographical areas outside of the United States; and (e) consisting of Guarantor’s use or transfer of money or Cash Equivalents in the ordinary course of business in a manner that is not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

 

9
 

(b) (i) Liquidate or dissolve; (ii) permit or suffer a Change in Control, or (iii) permit Borrower to cease being a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Guarantor;

 

(c) Guarantor shall not, without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Bank: (1) add any new offices or business locations, including warehouses (unless such new offices or business locations contain less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in Guarantor’s assets or property) or deliver any portion of the Collateral valued, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) to a bailee at a location other than to a bailee and at a location already disclosed in the Perfection Certificate, (2) change its jurisdiction of organization, (3) change its organizational structure or type, (4) change its legal name, or (5) change any organizational number (if any) assigned by its jurisdiction of organization. If Guarantor intends to deliver any portion of the Collateral valued, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) to a bailee, and Bank and such bailee are not already parties to a bailee agreement governing both the Collateral and the location to which Guarantor intends to deliver the Collateral, then Guarantor will first receive the written consent of Bank, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such bailee to execute and deliver a bailee agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Bank in its reasonable discretion;

 

(d) Merge or consolidate, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to merge or consolidate, with any other Person. A Subsidiary may merge or consolidate into another Subsidiary or into Guarantor;

 

(e) Create, incur, assume, or be liable for any Indebtedness, or permit any Subsidiary to do so, other than Permitted Indebtedness;

 

(f) Create, incur, allow, or suffer any Lien on any of its property, or assign or convey any right to receive income, including the sale of any Accounts, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do so, except for Permitted Liens, permit any Collateral not to be subject to the first priority security interest granted herein, or enter into any agreement, document, instrument or other arrangement (except with or in favor of Bank or in connection with Permitted Liens) with any Person which directly or indirectly prohibits or has the effect of prohibiting Guarantor from assigning, mortgaging, pledging, granting a security interest in or upon, or encumbering any of Guarantor’s Intellectual Property, except, in each case, as is otherwise permitted in Section 5.2(a) hereof and the definition of “Permitted Liens” herein;

 

(g) Maintain any Collateral Account except pursuant to the terms of Section 5.1(d) hereof;

 

(h) Pay (other than in the form of Guarantor’s capital stock) any dividends or make any distribution or payment or redeem, retire or purchase any capital stock; provided, however, that Guarantor may repurchase capital stock from former directors, officers, employees or consultants at the original purchase price thereof, but not to exceed in the aggregate of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) per fiscal year, as permitted by Guarantor’s equity incentive plans, restricted stock purchase agreements, stock option agreements, stock grant agreements or similar agreements, so long as an Event of Default does not exist at the time of such repurchase and would not exist after giving effect to such repurchase;

 

10
 

(i) (i) Make or permit any payment on any Subordinated Debt, except under the terms of the subordination, intercreditor, or other similar agreement to which such Subordinated Debt is subject, or (ii) amend any provision in any document relating to the Subordinated Debt which would increase the amount thereof or adversely affect the subordination thereof to Guarantor Obligations owed to Bank, except as may be permitted under the terms of the subordination, intercreditor, or other similar agreement to which such Subordinated Debt is subject;

 

(j) Become an “investment company” or a company controlled by an “investment company”, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or undertake as one of its important activities extending credit to purchase or carry margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), or use the proceeds of any Credit Extension for that purpose; fail to meet the minimum funding requirements of ERISA, permit a Reportable Event or Prohibited Transaction, as defined in ERISA, to occur; fail to comply with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act or violate any other law or regulation, if the violation could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Guarantor’s business, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do so; withdraw or permit any Subsidiary to withdraw from participation in, permit partial or complete termination of, or permit the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any material liability of Guarantor, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency; or

 

(k) Form any direct or indirect Subsidiary or acquire any direct or indirect Subsidiary after the date hereof, unless Guarantor (a) causes any such new Domestic Subsidiary to provide to Bank a joinder to this Agreement, together with such appropriate financing statements and/or Control Agreements, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank (including being sufficient to grant Bank a first priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) in and to the assets of such newly formed or acquired Domestic Subsidiary), (b) provides to Bank appropriate certificates and powers and financing statements, pledging all of the direct or beneficial ownership interest in any such new Subsidiary (except to the extent shares of any such new Foreign Subsidiary are excluded from the Collateral pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i)), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank, and (c) provides to Bank all other documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank which in its opinion is appropriate with respect to the execution and delivery of the applicable documentation referred to above. Any document, agreement, or instrument executed or issued pursuant to this Section 5.2(k) shall be a Loan Document.

11
 

 

5.3 So long as Bank has any commitment to make Credit Extensions to any Borrower under the Loan Agreement or any Borrower has any Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations for which no claim has been asserted) outstanding under the Loan Documents, Guarantor agrees that Guarantor:

 

(a) will not (i) except as otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option or warrant with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral (or any part thereof or interest therein) except with the prior written consent of Bank, or (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral, except for Permitted Liens. If any Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in violation of this Section 5.3, the security interest of Bank shall continue in the Pledged Collateral, to the extent permitted under applicable law, notwithstanding such sale, transfer or other disposition, and Guarantor will deliver any proceeds thereof to Bank to be held as Pledged Collateral hereunder;

 

(b) shall, at Guarantor’s own expense, promptly execute, acknowledge, and deliver all such instruments and take all such actions as Bank from time to time may reasonably request to ensure to Bank the benefits of the Lien in and to the Pledged Collateral intended to be created by this Agreement;

 

(c) shall maintain, preserve and, at Bank’s request, use commercially reasonable efforts to defend the title to the Pledged Collateral and the Lien of Bank thereon against the claim of any other Person; and

 

(d) upon obtaining any shares of capital stock or other equity securities that should be pledged pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Agreement, shall promptly deliver to Bank a duly executed Pledge Supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (a “ Pledge Supplement ”) identifying such additional shares of capital stock or other equity securities. Guarantor hereby authorizes Bank to attach each Pledge Supplement to this Agreement and agrees that all shares of capital stock or other equity securities listed thereon shall for all purposes hereunder constitute Pledged Collateral.

 

 

Section 6 – EVENTS OF DEFAULT

 

6.1 Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Bank shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the Code with respect to the Collateral. Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are not limited to the Collateral or any exercise by Bank of rights and remedies against the same, and Bank may pursue any other available rights and remedies against Guarantor, whether hereunder, at law or otherwise, without resort to the Collateral if Bank deems it in its best interests to do so.

 

6.2 So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:

13
 

6.4 During the existence of an Event of Default, the proceeds of the sale of any of the Pledged Collateral and all sums received or collected by Bank from or on account of such Pledged Collateral under Section 6.3 shall be applied by Bank to the payment of expenses incurred or paid by Bank in connection with any sale, transfer or delivery of the Pledged Collateral, to the payment of any other costs, charges, attorneys’ fees or expenses mentioned herein, and to the payment of the Obligations or any part hereof, all in such order and manner as Bank in its discretion may determine.

 

6.5 Upon the transfer by Bank of all or any part of the Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Bank may transfer all or any part of the Pledged Collateral to the transferee of the Obligations and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility with respect to such Pledged Collateral so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all the rights and powers of Bank hereunder with respect to such Pledged Collateral so transferred; but with respect to any Pledged Collateral not so transferred, Bank shall retain all rights and powers hereby given.
