Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Registered Direct Offering

On June 28, 2013, Unwired Planet, Inc. (the “ Company ”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) with Indaba Capital Fund, L.P. (“ Indaba ”) with respect to a registered direct offering (the “ Registered Direct Offering ”) of 7,530,120 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), at a price of $1.66 per share (the “ Per Share Purchase Price ”). Net proceeds from the offering, after deducting estimated offering expenses, were approximately $12.3 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for additional working capital or for general corporate purposes. The closing of the offering occurred on June 28, 2013.

The sale of the Common Stock was made pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-187176), as amended (the “ Registration Statement ”), including a prospectus supplement dated June 28, 2013 to the prospectus contained therein dated April 16, 2013, filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”), pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”).

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants and includes the terms and conditions for the sale of the Common Stock, indemnification and contribution obligations and other terms and conditions customary in agreements of this type. Additionally, the Purchase Agreement provides Indaba with certain Board of Director designation rights for as long as Indaba continues to maintain a voting percentage equal to or greater than 5% of the total shares of Common Stock outstanding, or as long as Indaba continues to maintain a voting percentage equal to or greater than 3% of the total shares outstanding and hold at least 50% of the Notes (as defined below), in each case subject to the terms and conditions under the Purchase Agreement and subject to applicable rules and published guidance of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, including, but not limited to, listing rule 5640 (or any successor rule).

Evercore Group L.L.C. (“ Evercore ”) provided corporate finance advisory services to the Company in connection with the Registered Direct Offering and received compensation in the aggregate amount of 2% of total gross proceeds from the Registered Direct Offering in cash, plus an additional fee of 2% of total gross proceeds from the Registered Direct Offering payable through the issuance of unregistered shares of Common Stock, the number of such shares so issued to be calculated based on the total gross proceeds from the Registered Direct Offering divided by the trading price per share of Common Stock as of the time of issuance. Based on an assumed price of $1.91 per share (the last reported sale price of the Company’s Common Stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market on June 27, 2013) the number of shares issuable to Evercore in connection with the Registered Direct Offering would be 130,890 shares. The Company granted Evercore certain piggyback registration rights with respect to the unregistered shares of Common Stock issuable to Evercore.

A copy of the Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibits 10.1 to this report, and the description of the terms of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

A copy of the legal opinion of Goodwin Procter LLP, relating to the validity of the shares to be issued in the Registered Direct Offering, is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this report and is filed with reference to, and is hereby incorporated by reference into, the Registration Statement.

Notes Offering

On June 28, 2013, the Company also completed a private offering of $25 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “ Notes ”). The Notes are governed by the terms of an Indenture, dated as of June 28, 2013 (the “ Indenture ”), by and between the Company and the Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “ Trustee ”), and were purchased by Indaba pursuant to a note purchase agreement (the “ Note Purchase Agreement ”), dated June 28, 2013, by and between the Company and Indaba.

Interest on the Notes will be payable quarterly on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on September 30, 2013. Until the second anniversary of the issue date, interest on the Notes will be payable-in-kind at a rate of 12.875% per year. After the second anniversary of the issue date, interest on the Notes will be payable-in-kind at the rate of 12.875% per year or payable in cash at the rate of 12.5% per year, at the Company’s option. The Notes mature on June 30, 2018 unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Company.


The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes on or after June 28, 2014 with the net cash proceeds from the sale, lease, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of its patents at a redemption price equal to 115% plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time on or after June 28, 2015 at a redemption price initially equal to 115% and declining over time, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The Indenture provides that the Notes will be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company other than certain excluded property. On the issue date, such excluded property included, among other property, all equity interests in the Company’s subsidiaries and all assets of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Indenture provides that certain newly-created domestic subsidiaries will become guarantors under the indenture and pledge their assets as additional collateral securing the notes in certain circumstances.

In the event of certain change of control transactions, which include the sales of patents that generate net cash proceeds to the Company equal to or greater than $150 million during the term of the Notes, each holder of the Notes may require the Company to purchase some or all of its Notes at a purchase price equal to 115% of the aggregate principal amount thereof if such redemption date occurs between the issue date and June 28, 2015, and declining thereafter, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase.

The Indenture contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to: (1) incur debt; (2) pay dividends and make distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, the Company’s equity interests; (3) make certain investments; (4) sell assets; (5) create liens; and (6) enter into transactions with affiliates. The Company is also required to maintain one or more accounts with an aggregate minimum cash and cash equivalents balance of $10,000,000, provided that this requirement will no longer be in effect at any time after the first time the volume weighted average trading price of a share of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds $3.00 for any period of 15 trading days in any 30 day trading day period occurring after June 28, 2015.

The Indenture also provides for customary events of default, including, but not limited to, the failure to make payments of interest or premium, if any, on, or principal of, the Notes, the failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements specified in the Indenture, the acceleration of other indebtedness, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the Notes immediately due and payable, except that an event of default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company will automatically cause the Notes to become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holders of Notes.

Evercore provided corporate finance advisory services to the Company in connection with the private offering of the Notes and received compensation in the aggregate amount of 2% of total gross proceeds from the private offering of the Notes in cash, plus an additional fee of 2% of total gross proceeds from the private offering of the Notes payable through the issuance of unregistered shares of Common Stock, the number of such shares so issued to be calculated based on the total gross proceeds from the private offering of the Notes divided by the trading price per share of Common Stock as of the time of issuance. Based on an assumed price of $1.91 per share (the last reported sale price of the Company’s Common Stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market on June 27, 2013) the number of shares issuable to Evercore in connection with the private offering of the Notes would be 261,780 shares. The Company granted Evercore certain piggyback registration rights with respect to the unregistered shares of Common Stock issuable to Evercore.

The summary of the foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Indenture and the form of Notes. Copies of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Indenture and the form of Notes are attached as Exhibits 10.2, 4.1 and 4.2 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

The Trustee has in the past provided and may from time to time in the future provide trustee, registrar, exchange agent, paying agent and other services to the Company.


Rights Offering

On June 28, 2013, the Company announced the filing of a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC for a rights offering to stockholders as of the record date of July 8, 2013 (collectively, the “ Offerees ”) of 7,530,120 shares of Common Stock at the Per Share Purchase Price (the “ Rights Offering ”). In connection with the contemplated Rights Offering, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement on June 28, 2013 with Indaba (the “ Backstop Purchase Agreement ”) pursuant to which Indaba is obligated to purchase such number of unregistered shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares offered in the Rights Offering that are not purchased by the Offerees, subject to the terms and conditions under the Backstop Purchase Agreement (the “ Backstop Shares ”). The Company is also obligated to issue to Indaba 225,904 unregistered shares of Common Stock in consideration for providing its backstop purchase commitment (the “ Additional Shares ”). In connection with the contemplated issuance of the Backstop Shares and the Additional Shares, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement on June 28, 2013 with Indaba whereby the Company has agreed to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement covering the resale of all of the Backstop Shares and the Additional Shares.

Evercore provided corporate finance advisory services to the Company in connection with the backstop purchase commitment and will receive compensation in the aggregate amount of 2% of total gross proceeds from the backstop purchase commitment in cash, plus an additional fee of 2% of total gross proceeds from the backstop purchase commitment payable through the issuance of unregistered shares of Common Stock, the number of such shares so issued to be calculated based on the total gross proceeds from the backstop purchase commitment divided by the trading price per share of Common Stock as of the time of issuance. Based on an assumed price of $1.91 per share (the last reported sale price of the Company’s Common Stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market on June 27, 2013) the number of shares issuable to Evercore in connection with the backstop purchase commitment would be 130,890 shares. The Company granted Evercore certain piggyback registration rights with respect to the unregistered shares of Common Stock issuable to Evercore.

A copy of the Backstop Purchase Agreement and a copy of the Registration Rights Agreement are filed as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4 to this report, respectively, and the description of the terms of the Backstop Purchase Agreement and of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

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

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this report related to the Notes Offering is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this report related to the Backstop Shares, the Additional Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable to Evercore as compensation for corporate finance advisory services is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The Company is relying on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(2) thereof. Indaba represented that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Evercore provided certain representations and warranties to the Company to support the Company’s reasonable belief that Evercore had access to information concerning the Company’s operations and financial condition, that Evercore is acquiring the shares of Common Stock issuable to Evercore as compensation for corporate finance advisory services for its own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and that Evercore is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

Pursuant to a letter agreement entered into with Evercore on January 10, 2013, the Company engaged Evercore to provide financial advisory services in connection with the purchase of certain patents by the Company. Evercore was granted certain post-completion success fees in connection with the patent purchase, including, but not limited to, the right to receive 500,000 unregistered shares of Common Stock of the Company if, during the one-year period following completion of the patent purchase, the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Stock over any 20 consecutive trading days equals or exceeds $3.00. In consideration for the corporate finance advisory services provided by Evercore to the Company in connection with the Registered Direct Offering, private offering of the Notes and backstop purchase commitment, the Company agreed to extend such one-year period to eighteen months.


Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holder

In order to permit the acquisition of up to a maximum number of shares of Common Stock representing approximately 14.2% of the Common Stock pursuant to the Registered Direct Offering, the Rights Offering and the Backstop Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “ Transaction Shares ”), the Company, after determination made by the independent directors of its Board of Directors, granted a request from Indaba to exempt the acquisition of the Transaction Shares by Indaba from the provisions of the Tax Benefits Preservation Agreement, dated as of January 28, 2012, by and between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent (the “ Rights Agreement ”). Following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Backstop Purchase Agreement, the Company shall determine the percentage of the outstanding shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Indaba as a result of acquisition of the Transaction Shares (the “ Base Percentage ”) and, for purposes of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the cumulative, percentage increase in ownership among “5-percent shareholders” within the meaning of such section and regulations (the “ NOL Base Percentage ”). If Indaba disposes of, or ceases to beneficially own, some or all of the Transaction Shares, then the Company shall be obligated to grant an additional exemption request by Indaba in the event that, after giving effect to the proposed acquisition of shares of Common Stock to which the additional exemption request pertains, Indaba’s beneficial ownership will not exceed the Base Percentage and there shall not be a cumulative, percentage increase in ownership among the “5-percent shareholders” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code of more than the greater of (x) the NOL Base Percentage and (y) 40%.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this report related to the Registration Rights Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

INDENTURE dated as of June 28, 2013 between Unwired Planet, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association, as indenture trustee (as more fully defined in Section 1.01, the “Indenture Trustee”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Issuer has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture to provide for the issuance of its senior secured notes to be issued pursuant to this Indenture in an aggregate amount not to exceed $35,000,000 (not including increases on account of any PIK Payments, as defined herein).

Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of Notes or interests therein shall, and is hereby deemed to have agreed to, indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar against costs, damages, or any other liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

(c) The Note Registrar shall refuse to register any requested transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) a certification from the transferring Holder in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto, and a representation letter from the transferee, in substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto, and shall have no duty to determine whether such transfer is so exempt or complies with such federal and state laws. The Note Registrar may conclusively rely on the same; provided, however , that the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall be under a duty to require delivery and to examine to determine whether it substantially appears on its face to conform with such exhibit as attached to this Indenture, the certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 or the representation letter in substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 specifically required by the express terms of this Section 2.04 to be delivered to the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee as a requirement of the registration of a transfer of a Note.

(d) Any purported transfer of a Note to a Person that does not comply with the requirements set forth above will be null and void ab initio and the transferor (or the last preceding Holder of such Note (or interest therein)) that was not so disqualified shall be restored to all rights as a Holder thereof retroactively to the date of transfer of such Note by such disqualified transferee. None of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any other Person shall be obligated to register or otherwise recognize such purported transfer of a Note. Nothing herein shall impose an affirmative duty on the Note Registrar or Indenture Trustee to investigate or make other inquiries as to whether a purported transferee has complied with the requirements set forth above.

(e) If a Person is acquiring any Note or interest therein as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to deliver to the Note Registrar a certification to the effect that it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and agreements with respect to each such account as set forth in this Section 2.04 (and upon receipt, the Note Registrar may conclusively rely upon such certification) and shall have no duty to determine whether the Person acquiring such Note or interest therein is such a fiduciary or agent, or has such discretion or power, as the case may be.

(f) Subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 2.04, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees (and, to the extent that only a portion of the transferring Holder’s Note Balance is being transferred, to the transferring Holder), one or more new Notes, of a like Note Balance.

(g) At the option of any Holder, its Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of a like Note Balance upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(h) Every Note presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The Note Registrar may require any Holder, among other things, to furnish any appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and to have signatures guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” that is a member or participant in a recognized “signature guarantee program” (e.g., the securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the Stock Exchange Medallion Program or the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion signature Program).

(i) No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may require payment from the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes.

(j) All Notes surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be physically canceled by the Note Registrar, and the Note Registrar shall dispose of such canceled Notes in accordance with its standard procedures.

(k) The Note Registrar shall provide to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, upon reasonable prior written request, and at the expense of the Issuer, an updated copy of the Note Register. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to obtain a copy thereof within a reasonable amount of time after receipt of notice by the Note Registrar, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Note Registrar as to the information set forth in the Note Register.

(l) Neither the Note Registrar nor the Indenture Trustee shall be under any duty to monitor or determine compliance with any federal, state or other securities or tax laws that may be applicable.

 

27


(m) The Note Registrar shall be entitled to all of the protections, privileges, limitations on liability, rights of reimbursement and indemnities that the Indenture Trustee is entitled to hereunder as fully as if it were the Indenture Trustee.

(n) The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(o) Each Note issued hereunder shall, upon issuance, bear the legend set forth in this clause (o), and such legend shall not be removed except as provided in clause (b) above. Each Note that bears or is required to bear the legend shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the legend, and the Holder of each such Note, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. Any certificate evidencing such Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

SECTION 2.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes .

If there shall be delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction (including mutilation tantamount to destruction), loss or theft of any Note and the ownership thereof and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them, and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of written notice received by the Issuer or a Trust Officer that such Note has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of the same tenor and denomination registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.05 in lieu of any destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by any Person, and such new Note shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.05 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

SECTION 2.06. Holder Lists .

The Note Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders, which list, upon request, will be made available to the Indenture Trustee insofar as the Indenture Trustee is no longer the Note Registrar. Upon written request of any Holder made for purposes of communicating with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture (which purpose the Note Registrar shall have no duty to determine or inquire about), the Note Registrar shall within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such written request furnish such Holder with a list of the other Holders of record identified in the Note Register at the time of the request. Every Holder, by receiving such access, agrees with the Note Registrar that the Note Registrar will not have any liability or be held accountable in any way by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names and addresses of any Holder regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

SECTION 2.07. Persons Deemed Owners .

The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agents of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the owner of such Note on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal, interest and other amounts in respect of such Note and on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note shall be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any agents of any of them, shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest shall be considered paid on the date due upon the increase of the Note Balance in an amount equal to the applicable PIK Payment in accordance with Section 2.03(b).

 

30


(b) If a Note is issued in exchange for any other Note during the period commencing at the close of business at the office of the Note Registrar where such exchange occurs on any Record Date and ending before the opening of business at such office of the Note Registrar on the related Payment Date, no interest, principal or other amounts will be payable on such Payment Date in respect of such new Note, but will be payable on such Payment Date only in respect of the prior Note to the Person that is the registered Holder thereof at the close of business on the related Record Date.

The Indenture Trustee shall comply with all backup withholding tax and information reporting requirements that it is required to comply with under applicable law (including the Code and the Treasury regulations issued thereunder) in respect of any payment on, or in respect of, the Notes.

By acceptance of any Note issued hereunder, each Holder is deemed to agree to provide to the Issuer or Indenture Trustee any certification that may be required under applicable law and to update or replace such form or certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments to the extent necessary. Failure of a Holder to provide the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer with required tax certificates may result in amounts of tax being withheld from the payment to such Holder.

In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering and Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (collectively, “Applicable Regulations”), the Indenture Trustee, like all financial institutions, is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and legal entities which maintain a business relationship or opens an account with the Indenture Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto and each Holder agrees to provide the Indenture Trustee, upon its request from time to time, such identifying information and documentation as may be necessary in order to enable the Indenture Trustee to comply with such Applicable Regulations. It is expressly agreed that the Indenture

SECTION 2.12. Uniform Commercial Code Matters .

(a) The Issuer shall take all actions, including the authorization and filing of all financing statements and amendments thereto, as are necessary to perfect and maintain the perfection and priority under the laws of all relevant jurisdictions of the security interest Granted by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee hereunder. The Issuer hereby irrevocably authorizes the filing of financing statements (and amendments of financing statements and continuation statements) that name the Issuer as debtor and the Indenture Trustee as secured party and that cover all personal property of the Issuer. The Issuer also hereby ratifies its authorization of the filing of any such financing statements (or amendments of financing statements or continuation statements) that were filed prior to the execution hereof. The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to file or monitor any financing statements (or amendments of financing statements or continuation statements) or be responsible for maintaining the security interests purported to be created as described herein (except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder) and such responsibility shall be solely that of the Issuer.

SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers .

The Issuer in issuing the Notes shall use CUSIP numbers, and may, and at the reasonable request of a Holder shall, use ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use) and the Indenture Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, and, if applicable, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices (including notices of redemption) as a convenience to Holders; provided, however , that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers, either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and that any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers, on which notice the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely without investigation.

(1) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

 

40


(2) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

 

(3) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

SECTION 5.02. Acceleration . If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee or the Required Holders by notice to the Issuer may, and if such notice is given by the Required Holders such notice shall be given to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, declare that the principal of, and the premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on, all Notes is due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Issuer occurs, the principal of, and the premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on, all the Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or any Holders. The Required Holders by written notice to the Indenture Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if such Required Holders determine that the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

 

52


SECTION 5.03. Other Remedies . If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee, after notice to the Holders and receipt of specific written direction from the Required Holders as to how to proceed, may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

The Indenture Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Indenture Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. To the extent required by law, all available remedies are cumulative.

Following an Event of Default, the Required Holders may instruct the Indenture Trustee to deliver the “Notice of Exclusive Control” (or similar defined term) under and as defined in any Account Control Agreement.

SECTION 5.04. Waiver of Past Defaults . Provided the Notes are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the Required Holders by written notice to the Indenture Trustee may waive an existing Default or an Event of Default and its consequences except (a) a Default or an Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Note, (b) a Default or an Event of Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Note when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (c) a Default or an Event of Default in respect of a provision that under Section 8.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected. When a Default or an Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured and the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or an Event of Default or impair any consequent right. Any past Default or an Event of Default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the consent of the Required Holders.

SECTION 5.05. Control by Majority . The Required Holders may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee. However, the Indenture Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Indenture Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Indenture Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. The Holders understand and agree that in fulfilling its role as Indenture Trustee under an Account Control Agreement, if any, the Indenture Trustee shall act solely in accordance with the written direction of the Required Holders.

 

53


SECTION 5.06. Limitation on Suits . (a) Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(i) the Holder gives the Indenture Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing;

(ii) the Required Holders make a written request to the Indenture Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(iii) such Holder or Holders offer to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense; and

(iv) the Indenture Trustee does not comply with the request within 30 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity.

(b) A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

SECTION 5.08. Collection Suit by Indenture Trustee . If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a) occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and (to the extent lawful) on any unpaid interest at the rate provided for in the Notes) and the amounts provided for in Section 6.05.

SECTION 5.09. Indenture Trustee May File Proofs of Claim . The Indenture Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation, expenses disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee (including counsel, accountants, experts or such other professionals as the Indenture Trustee deems necessary, advisable or appropriate)) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, their creditors or their property, shall be entitled to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matters and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee, and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Indenture Trustee and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.05.

 

54


SECTION 5.10. Priorities . If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 5, it shall pay out such money or property in the following order:

FIRST: to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.05;

SECOND: to the Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for interest;

THIRD: to the Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, and premium, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and, if any, premium; and

FOURTH: to the Issuer.

The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to the Holders pursuant to this Section 5.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Holder and the Issuer a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

SECTION 5.11. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws . The Issuer shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof (such notice, the “Claim Notice”); provided , however , that any failure so to notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith.

To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 6.05, the Indenture Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Indenture Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes.

The Issuer’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any bankruptcy law or the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Indenture Trustee under applicable law, when the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.01(f) or Section 5.01(g) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its satisfaction.

 

61


SECTION 6.06. Replacement of Indenture Trustee . (a) The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Required Holders may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

(i) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.08;

(ii) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its property; or

(iv) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

(b) If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed by the Issuer or by the Required Holders and such Required Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.

(c) A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Holders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 6.05.

(d) If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within thirty (30) days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Notes may petition at the expense of the Issuer any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

(e) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.06, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 6.05 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 6.07. Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger . If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges with or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee.

 

62


In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.

SECTION 6.08. Eligibility; Disqualification . The Indenture Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

SECTION 6.09. Confidential Information . The Indenture Trustee, in its individual capacity and as Indenture Trustee, agrees and acknowledges that all information provided to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer or any Group Company (or any direct or indirect equity holder of the Issuer or such Group Company) or any Holder may be considered to be proprietary and confidential information. The Indenture Trustee agrees to take all reasonable precautions necessary to keep such information confidential, which precautions shall be no less stringent than those that the Indenture Trustee employs to protect its own confidential information. The Indenture Trustee shall not disclose to any third party other than as set forth herein or in any other Transaction Document, and shall not use for any purpose other than the exercise of the Indenture Trustee’s rights and the performance of its obligations under this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, any such information without the prior written consent of the Issuer or such Holder (or such holder of a beneficial interest in the Notes), as applicable. The Indenture Trustee shall limit access to such information received hereunder, and shall have the right to disclose any and all such information, to (a) its directors, officers, managers, employees, agents and Affiliates and (b) its legal advisors, inside and outside auditors, accountants, and other advisors, to each of whom disclosure of such information is necessary for the purposes described above; provided, however, that in each case such party has expressly agreed to maintain such information in confidence under terms and conditions substantially identical to the terms of this Section 6.09.

In the event the Indenture Trustee is required to disclose any such information received hereunder in order to comply with any Requirements of Law, it may disclose such information only to the extent necessary for such compliance; provided, however, that it shall give the Issuer or any Holder (or any holder of a beneficial interest in the Notes), as applicable, reasonable advance written notice of any court proceeding in which such disclosure may be required pursuant to a court order so as to afford the Issuer or any Holder (or any holder of a beneficial interest in the Notes), as applicable, full and fair opportunity to oppose the issuance of such order and to appeal therefrom and shall cooperate reasonably with the Issuer or any Holder (or any holder of a beneficial interest in the Notes), as applicable, in opposing such court order and in securing confidential treatment of any such information to be disclosed and/or obtaining a protective order narrowing the scope of such disclosure.

 

63


The Note Registrar agrees to be bound by this Section 6.09 to the same extent as the Indenture Trustee.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known, (ii) disclosure of any and all information (A) if required to do so by any Requirements of Law, (B) to any government agency or regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate or oversee any respects of the Indenture Trustee’s business or that of its affiliates, or (C) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar demand or request of any court, regulatory authority, arbitrator or arbitration to which the Indenture Trustee, or an officer, director, employer, shareholder or affiliate of any of the foregoing is a party.

SECTION 9.08. Release Upon Termination of the Issuer’s Obligations .

  Re: Securities Registered under Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to you in connection with your filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-187176) (as amended or supplemented, the “Registration Statement”) filed on March 11, 2013 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the registration of the offer by Unwired Planet, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) of up to $50,000,000 of any combination of securities of the types specified therein. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the Commission on April 16, 2013. Reference is made to our opinion letter dated March 11, 2013 and included as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. We are delivering this supplemental opinion letter in connection with the prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) filed on June 28, 2013 by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act. The Prospectus Supplement relates to the offering by the Company of up to 7,530,120 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”) covered by the Registration Statement. We understand that the Shares are to be offered and sold in the manner described in the Prospectus Supplement.

We have reviewed such documents and made such examination of law as we have deemed appropriate to give the opinions set forth below. We have relied, without independent verification, on certificates of public officials and, as to matters of fact material to the opinions set forth below, on certificates of officers of the Company.

The opinion set forth below is limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law (which includes reported judicial decisions interpreting the Delaware General Corporation Law).

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, when the price and other terms upon which the Shares are to be sold have been approved by or on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company (or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors) and the Shares have been issued and delivered against payment in accordance with such terms, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation or winding up, nor does the Company or any Subsidiary have any knowledge or reason to believe that any of their respective creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so.

(9) There is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit or proceeding, nor any injunction, writ, restraining order or other order of any nature against or affecting any the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, its officers or directors, or the property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in any court or tribunal, or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect (A) the performance by the Company of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or (B) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or (iv) asserting a claim for payment of money adverse to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the conduct of its or their business other than the litigation disclosed in the Company’s filings posted on the SEC Edgar website, except in each, as would not in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. “ Governmental Authority ” means the government of the United States or any other nation, or of any political subdivision thereof, whether state or local, and any agency, authority, instrumentality, regulatory body, court, central bank or other entity exercising executive, legislative, judicial, taxing, regulatory or administrative powers or functions of or pertaining to government.

(10) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all of its property (other than intellectual property) that is essential to its business as conducted on the date hereof.

(11) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently 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 the Company); no tax lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Company, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge, other than as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(12) There are no holders of securities of the Company having preemptive rights to purchase Common Stock. There are no holders or beneficial owners of securities of the Company having rights to registration thereof whose securities have not been previously registered or who have not waived such rights with respect to the registration of the Company’s securities on the Registration Statement.

(13) The Company is not an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(14) The Company and each Subsidiary is in compliance with all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof, and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof.

(15) Since July 1, 2012, the Company has filed with or submitted to the Commission all SEC Documents. As of their respective dates, each of the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder applicable to such SEC Document. The Company has filed with the Commission all “material contracts” (as such term is defined in Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) that are required to be filed as exhibits to the SEC Documents and there are no contracts or other documents that are required under the Exchange Act to be described in the SEC Documents that are not so described. No SEC Document, when filed, or, in the case of any SEC Document amended or superseded prior to the date of this Agreement, then on the date of such amending or superseding filing, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Any SEC Document filed with the Commission prior to Closing, when filed, will not contain any 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 light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(16) Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other labor disputes against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment made to employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable law dealing with such matters; and

 

7

(17) The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, interested stockholder, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws or other organizational documents of the Company or the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or otherwise that can be waived by approval of the board of directors and which is or could become applicable to any Investor as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Backstop Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company’s issuance of the Offered Shares and any Investor’s ownership of the Offered Shares. The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any stockholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or a change in control of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(18) Except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) each employee benefit plan, within the meaning of Section 3(3) of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time (“ ERISA ”), for which the Company or any ERISA Affiliate has any liability (each, a “ Plan ”) has been maintained in all material respects in compliance with its terms and the requirements of any applicable statutes, orders, rules and regulations, including but not limited to ERISA and the Code; (ii) no prohibited transaction, within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), has occurred with respect to any Plan excluding transactions effected pursuant to a statutory or administrative exemption; (iii) for each Plan that is subject to the funding rules of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, no failure to satisfy the minimum funding standard of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, whether or not waived, has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur; (iv) with respect to each Plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA, the fair market value of the assets of each Plan is no more than $100,000 less than the present value of all benefits accrued under such Plan (determined based on those assumptions used to fund such Plan); (v) no “reportable event” (within the meaning of Section 4043(c) of ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Plan; and (vi) neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, nor reasonably expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA (other than contributions to the Plan or premiums to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (or any successor), in the ordinary course and without default) in respect of a Plan (including a “multiemployer plan”, within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA). “ ERISA Affiliate ” means any trade or business (whether or not incorporated) that, together with the Company, is treated as a single employer under Section 414 of the Code.

(19) Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, none of the officers, directors or employees or affiliates of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for ordinary course services as employees, officers or directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for use of property, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any such officer, director or employee or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any corporation, partnership, trust or other Person in which any such officer, director or employee or affiliate has a substantial interest or is an employee, officer, director, trustee or partner.

(21) Assuming the accuracy of the Investors’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 4(a), neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Offered Shares to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any market or exchange on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.

(22) The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Investor is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that no Investor is (i) an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”)) of the Company (an “ Affiliate ”) or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company further acknowledges that no Investor is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and any advice given by an Investor or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Investor’s purchase of the Offered Shares. The Company further represents to each Investor that the Company’s decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives. The Company has never been a “shell” company under applicable rules of the SEC.

(23) No statement or information contained in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other document, certificate or statement furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Investors, or any of them, for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading, when taken together with all statements contained in such documents and the Company’s filings and furnishings with the Commission. There is no fact known to the Company that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, the Company’s filings and furnishings with the Commission, in the other Transaction Documents or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Investors for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents.

(24) The Company confirms that neither it nor, to its knowledge, any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Investors or their agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute material, non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than the existence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, the Backstop Purchase Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement and the principal transactions documents related thereto. The Company understands and confirms that each of the Investors will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosure provided to the Investors regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which

 

9


they were made, not misleading. Each material press release issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the twelve (12) months preceding the date of this Agreement did not at the time of release contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred or information exists with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their business, properties, liabilities, prospects, operations (including results thereof) or conditions (financial or otherwise), which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure at or before the date hereof or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly disclosed. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Investor makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 4(a).

(25) The Company is solvent and will not become insolvent after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents.

(26) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has, and, to the knowledge of the Company, no Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, (i) taken any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Offered Shares, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Offered Shares, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(27) The Company shall pay directly, or reimburse to each Investor, the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Investor (including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with the entering into and matters related to this Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Backstop Purchase Agreement, and the other transactions contemplated herein and therein; provided that such reimbursable expenses in connection with the entering into and matters related to this Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement and the Backstop Purchase Agreement shall be $150,000.

5. Indemnification .

(a) Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Section 5 , the Company covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Investors and their respective directors, officers, partners, managers, shareholders, members, employees, agents, representatives, successors, assigns and employees and each other Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) any such Investor or other Persons (each, an “ Investor Party ”) from and against any and all Losses arising from claims by third parties resulting from, incurred in connection with or arising out of (but only to the extent of) (a) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Company contained herein, (b) the failure of the Company to perform any of the Company’s agreements, covenants or obligations contained herein (other than if any such claim was a result of a breach by the Investor under this Agreement) or (c) any action instituted against the Indemnitee by a third party with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The term “ Loss ” or any similar term shall mean any and all damages, deficiencies, costs, claims, fines, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, expenses of investigation, interest, penalties, taxes, assessments, out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and auditors’ fees and disbursements, witness fees and court costs) but specifically excluding consequential, special, punitive, multiple and other similar damages. The party or parties being indemnified are referred to herein as the “ Indemnitee ” and the indemnifying party is referred to herein as the “ Indemnitor .”

 

10


(b) Indemnification Procedure .

(1) Any party who receives notice of a potential claim that may, in the judgment of such party, result in a Loss shall use all reasonable efforts to provide the parties hereto notice thereof within fifteen (15) days of the filing or other written assertion of any such claim against the Indemnitee, provided that failure or delay or alleged delay in providing such notice shall not adversely affect such party’s right to indemnification hereunder, unless and then only to the extent that such failure or delay or alleged delay has resulted in actual prejudice to the Indemnitor, including, without limitation, by the expiration of a statute of limitations. In the event that any party shall incur or suffer any Losses in respect of which indemnification may be sought by such party hereunder, the Indemnitee shall assert a claim for indemnification by written notice (a “ Notice ”) to the Indemnitor stating the nature and basis of such claim.

(2) If indemnification is sought, the Indemnitor shall, if necessary, retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, it being agreed that Goodwin Procter LLP is satisfactory, and have the option (i) to conduct any proceedings or negotiations in connection therewith, (ii) to take all other steps to settle or defend any such claim (provided that the Indemnitor shall not settle any such claim without the consent of the Indemnitee which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iii) to employ counsel to contest any such claim or liability in the name of the Indemnitee or otherwise. In any event, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate at its own expense and by its own counsel in any proceedings relating to any third party claim. The Indemnitor shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of the Notice, notify the Indemnitee of its intention to assume the defense of such claim. If (i) the Indemnitor shall decline to assume the defense of any such claim, (ii) the Indemnitor shall fail to notify the Indemnitee within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the Notice of the Indemnitor’s election to defend such claim or (iii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnitee, the representation by the same counsel of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee would be inappropriate due to actual or potential material differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding, then in each such case the Indemnitor shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee shall, at the sole expense of the Indemnitor, defend against such claim; provided , that the Indemnitee may not settle such claim without the consent of the Indemnitor (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnitor shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnitees, and such legal counsel shall be selected by the Investors. The reasonable expenses of all proceedings, contests or lawsuits in respect of such claims shall be borne and paid by the Indemnitor if the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder and the Indemnitor shall pay the Indemnitee, in immediately available funds, the amount of any Losses, within a reasonable time of the incurrence of such Losses. Regardless of which party shall assume the defense or negotiation of the settlement of the claim, the parties agree to cooperate fully with one another in connection therewith. Anything in this Section 5 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indemnitor shall not, without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the Indemnitee or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee, a release from all liability in respect of such claim.

6. Conditions .

The Investors shall have the right to remove or replace the Initial Investor Director by giving notice to such Initial Investor Director and the Company, and the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the removal or replacement of any such Initial Investor Director.

If, following the time when any person designated by the Investors is elected to the Board of Directors of the Company, such person is appointed or elected to any such position or seat at a company that the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably determines directly competes with the Company, the Investors shall be entitled to designate a director to fill the vacancy resulting from such person’s resignation from the Board of Directors of the Company; provided, that such designee meets the criteria that are reasonably acceptable to the nominating committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.

(4) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights of the Investors to designate the Initial Investor Director and the Additional Investor Director shall at all times be subject to applicable rules and published guidance of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, including, but not limited to, listing rule 5640 (or any successor rule).

(b) The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Notes, is experienced in investing in the capital markets and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment. The Purchaser is aware that investment in the Notes involves a high degree of risk, and the Notes are, therefore, a speculative investment.

(c) The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask such questions as it deems necessary to make an investment decision, and has received all information it has requested and deemed necessary in connection with making such investment decision. The Purchaser has, independently and without reliance upon any other Purchaser, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate and adequate for such purpose, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Issuer, and made its own decision to purchase its interest in the Notes (including, without limitation, having considered the income tax consequences of purchasing, owning or disposing of the Notes in light of the Purchaser’s particular situation and tax residence as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any taxing jurisdiction), and will, independently and without reliance upon any other Purchaser, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Note Purchase Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Issuer.


(d) The Purchaser is an “accredited investor”, as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) or is a “qualified institutional buyer” (within the meaning of Rule 144A thereunder) and is acquiring the Notes (or an interest in the Notes) for its own account for investment purposes. The Purchaser understands that the offering and sale of the Notes (or any interest in therein) has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and has not and will not be registered or qualified under any applicable “Blue Sky” law, and that the offering and sale of the Notes (or any interests therein) have not been reviewed by, passed on or submitted to any federal or state agency or commission, securities exchange or other regulatory body.

(d) The Purchaser is not an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ ERISA ”), or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”) (each such plan, an “ Employee Plan ”), an entity whose underlying assets include the assets of any Employee Plan, or a governmental plan that is subject to any federal, state or local law which is substantially similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or the Purchaser’s purchase, holding and disposition of the Notes does not result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or, in the case of a governmental plan, any substantially similar federal, state or local law) for which an exemption is not available.

(e) The Purchaser is acquiring an interest in the Notes without a view to any distribution, resale or other transfer except as contemplated in the following sentence. The Purchaser will not resell or otherwise transfer the Notes, or any interest or participation in the Notes, except in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Issuer has not made or will be making any representation as to the availability of Rule 144A, Regulation S or Rule 144 under the Securities Act for the reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer of the Notes.

(f) This Investor Letter has been duly executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws or equitable principles affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.

Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, members, agents, representatives, successors, assigns and employees and each other Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company or its Affiliates (all such Persons being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “ Company Indemnified Persons ”), against any Losses to which any Company Indemnified Person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission relating to the identity of the applicable Purchaser made in the section of the Prospectus or the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto titled “Purchase Agreement” in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by that Purchaser expressly for use therein, and such Purchaser will promptly reimburse such Company Indemnified Persons for any legal and other expenses as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Company Indemnified Persons in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend, settling, compromising or paying any such Losses; provided , however , that such Purchaser will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Losses arise out of or are based upon (i) the failure of the Company or any other Purchaser to perform any of its covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any other Purchaser in this Agreement or (iii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Company Indemnified Person or any other Purchaser.

(c) Indemnification Procedures . Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 10 , promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 10 to the extent such indemnifying party is not prejudiced as a result of such failure to promptly notify. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail such claim. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to such indemnified party within 30 days of such indemnifying party’s receipt of notice of such action from such indemnified party, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided , however , (i) if the indemnifying party has failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party in any such proceeding or (ii) if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel, that there may be a conflict of interest between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, in any such case, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume or assert, as the case may be, such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption or assertion, as the case may be, of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel in any jurisdiction (and as required, local counsels), reasonably satisfactory to such indemnifying party, representing the indemnified party), (ii) the

 

20


indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent such indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such indemnified person, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action without its written consent. In no event shall any indemnifying party be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying party shall have approved in writing the terms of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding unless such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such Action.

(d) Contribution . If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 10 in respect to any Losses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of any Losses referred to herein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and the applicable Purchaser in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement and/or the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus, that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the applicable Purchaser on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation and/or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or by the applicable Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 10 , any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 10 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this paragraph (d); provided , however , that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under paragraph (c) for purposes of indemnification. The Company and each Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined solely by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 12(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Purchaser Indemnified Person and the obligations of each Purchaser under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which such Purchaser may otherwise have to any Company Indemnified Person. The remedies provided in this Section 10 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to the parties at law or in equity.

 

21


Section 11. Additional Shares. In consideration for the Purchasers making available their respective capital hereunder, the Company shall pay to each Purchaser an amount, payable in shares of Common Stock valued at the Subscription Price (the “ Additional Shares ”), equal to 3.0% of such Purchaser’s Purchase Commitment set forth on Schedule I hereto (rounded to the nearest full share), and such Additional Shares shall be issued to such Purchasers at the earlier of Closing or the Termination Date; provided, that in the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9(a) prior to the Closing Date in respect of such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, the Company shall not be obligated to issue to such Purchaser the Additional Shares.

The Initial Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is then ineligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering) subject to the provisions of Section 2(d) and shall contain (except if otherwise required pursuant to written comments received from the Commission upon a review of such Registration Statement) the “Plan of Distribution” section attached hereto as Annex A (which may be modified to respond to comments, if any, provided by the Commission).

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will first be reduced by Registrable Securities not acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (whether pursuant to registration rights or otherwise), and second by Registrable Securities represented by Shares (applied, in the case that some Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Shares held by such Holders, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Shares held by such Holders). In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement (the “ Remainder Registration Statements ”).

 

4


(b) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable and, with respect to the Initial Registration Statement or the New Registration Statement, as applicable, no later than the Effectiveness Deadline (including filing with the Commission a request for acceleration of effectiveness in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep each Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) such time as all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been publicly sold by the Holders or (ii) the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold by non-affiliates without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and reasonably acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Effectiveness Period ”). The Company shall telephonically request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00 P.M. New York City time on a Trading Day. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders via facsimile or electronic mail of a “.pdf” format data file of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Trading Day that the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the Commission, which date of confirmation shall initially be the date requested for effectiveness of such Registration Statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 A.M. New York City time on the first Trading Day after the Effective Date, file a final Prospectus with the Commission, as required by Rule 424(b).

(c) Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire not more than five (5) Trading Days following the date of this Agreement. At least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement for any registration under this Agreement, the Company will notify each Holder of the information the Company requires from that Holder other than the information contained in the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire, if any, which shall be completed and delivered to the Company promptly upon request and, in any event, within three (3) Trading Days prior to the applicable anticipated filing date. Each Holder further agrees that it shall not be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the Registration Statement or use the Prospectus for offers and resales of Registrable Securities at any time, unless such Holder has returned to the Company a completed and signed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire and a response to any requests for further information as described in the previous sentence. If a Holder of Registrable Securities returns a Selling Stockholder Questionnaire or a request for further information, in either case, after its respective deadline, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are required to name such Holder as a selling security holder in the Registration Statement or any pre-effective or post-effective amendment thereto and to include (to the extent not theretofore included) in the Registration Statement the Registrable Securities identified in such late Selling Stockholder Questionnaire or request for further information. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the information in the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire or request for further information as described in this Section 2(c) will be used by the Company in the preparation of the Registration Statement and hereby consents to the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement.

(d) In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Holders and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 promptly after such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.

3. Registration Procedures

In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

(a) Not less than five (5) Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K and any similar or successor reports), (i) furnish to the Holder copies of such Registration Statement, Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, as proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such Holder (it being acknowledged and agreed that if a Holder does not object to or comment on the aforementioned documents within such five (5) Trading Day or one (1) Trading Day period, as the case may be, then the Holder shall be deemed to have consented to and approved the use of such documents) and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which a Holder reasonably objects in good faith, provided that, the Company is notified of such objection in writing within the five (5) Trading Day or one (1) Trading Day period described above, as applicable.

(b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements, to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for its Effectiveness Period; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the Commission with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably possible, provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to such Registration Statement that pertains to the Holders as “Selling Stockholders” but not any comments that would result in the disclosure to the Holders of material and non-public information concerning the Company; and (iv) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of (subject to the terms of this Agreement) in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented; provided, however , that each Purchaser shall be responsible for the delivery of the Prospectus to the Persons to whom such Purchaser sells any of the Shares (including in accordance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act), and each Purchaser agrees to dispose of Registrable Securities in compliance with the “Plan of Distribution” described in the Registration Statement and otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b) ) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Exchange Act, the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the Commission on the same day on which the Exchange Act report which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement was filed.

 

6


(c) Notify the Holders (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day: (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on any Registration Statement (in which case the Company shall provide to each of the Holders true and complete copies of all comments that pertain to the Holders as a “Selling Stockholder” or to the “Plan of Distribution” and all written responses thereto, but not information that the Company believes would constitute material and non-public information); and (C) with respect to each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information that pertains to the Holders as “Selling Stockholders” or the “Plan of Distribution”; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, 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 case of any Prospectus, form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, provided that, any and all such information shall remain confidential to each Holder until such information otherwise becomes public, unless disclosure by a Holder is required by law; and provided , further , that notwithstanding each Holder’s agreement to keep such information confidential, each such Holder makes no acknowledgement that any such information is material, non-public information; provided, further , that the Company may not postpone or suspend the effectiveness of a Registration Statement under this Section 3(c) for more than forty-five (45) days in the aggregate during any twelve (12) month period.

(d) Use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a 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 practicable.

(e) If requested by a Holder, furnish to such Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission; provided , that the Company shall have no obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the Commission’s EDGAR system.

 

7


(f) Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided , that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

(g) If requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement and under law, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may reasonably request.

4. Registration Expenses . All fees and expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with its obligations under this Agreement (excluding any underwriting discounts and selling commissions and all legal fees and expenses of legal counsel for any Holder in excess of $5,000) shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, and (B) with respect to compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities and determination of the eligibility of the Registrable Securities for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as requested by the Holders), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any underwriting, broker or similar fees or commissions of any Holder or any legal fees or other costs of the Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, the fees and expenses for any Holders (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) which the Company is required to pay pursuant to this Section 4 shall be in addition to the fees and expenses which the Company is required to pay pursuant to Section 6(b)(v) of the Purchase Agreement.

5. Indemnification .

(a) Indemnification by the Company . The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, partners, members, managers, stockholders, Affiliates and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “ Losses ”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (A) such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that each Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (B) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(iii) - (vi) , related to the use by a Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated and defined in Section 6(c) below, to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected or (C) to the extent that any such Losses arise out of the Purchaser’s (or any other indemnified Person’s) failure to send or give a copy of the Prospectus or supplement (as then amended or supplemented), if required, pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) to the Persons asserting an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or omission was corrected in such Prospectus or supplement. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 5(c) ) and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holders.

(b) Indemnification by Holders . Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (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 incurred, arising out of or are based solely upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which

 

9


they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein or (ii) to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (iii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(iii) - (vi) , to the extent related to the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(c) . In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(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 have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable 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 materially and 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: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) 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 (3) 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 exists 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); provided , that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties. 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, delayed or conditioned. 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.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, 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 5 ) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within twenty (20) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided , that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally judicially determined to not be entitled to indemnification hereunder). The failure to

 

10


deliver written notice to the Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 5 , except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

(d) Contribution . If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, 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 this Agreement, 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 5 was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(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 5(d) , (A) no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (B) no contribution will be made under circumstances where the maker of such contribution would not have been required to indemnify the Indemnified Party under the fault standards set forth in this Section 5 . 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 5 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties and are not in diminution or limitation of the indemnification provisions under the Purchase Agreement.

6. Miscellaneous .

(a) Remedies . In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

11


(b) Compliance . Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it (unless an exemption therefrom is available) in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and shall sell the Registrable Securities only in accordance with a method of distribution described in the Registration Statement

(c) Discontinued Disposition . By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c)(iii) - (vi) , such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “ Advice ”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.

(d) No Inconsistent Agreements . Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date hereof, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

(e) Registration Statement Not Declared Effective . The Company and the Holders agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline. The Company and the Holders further agree that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, if the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline, the Company shall pay an amount in cash as liquidated damages to each Holder equal to one percent (1%) for each thirty day period (prorated for periods less than thirty days) of the Purchase Price of the Shares held by such Holder from Effectiveness Deadline until the Registration Statement is declared effective; provided that in no event shall the aggregate amount of liquidated damages payable to a Holder exceed, in the aggregate, six percent (6%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Shares held by such Holder.

(f) Rule 144 . As long as any Holder owns any Shares, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. As long as any Holder owns any Shares, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will prepare and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act annual and quarterly financial statements, together with a discussion and analysis of such financial statements in form and substance substantially similar to those that would otherwise be required to be included in reports required by Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as well as any other information required thereby, in the time period that such filings would have been required to have been made under the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action at the expense of the Company as any Holder may reasonably request in writing, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell the Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, providing any legal opinions relating to such sale pursuant to Rule 144.

(g) Amendments and Waivers . The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, or waived unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and Holders holding no less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, provided that any party may give a waiver as to itself.

 

12


Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided , however , that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.

(h) Notices . Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

(i) Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. The Company may not assign its rights (except by merger or in connection with another entity acquiring all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign its respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under the Purchase Agreement; provided in each case that (i) the Holder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights and related obligations under this Agreement, and for the transferee or assignee to assume such obligations, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) at or before the time the Company received the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein and (iv) the transferee is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D.

(j) Execution and Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature were the original thereof.

(k) Governing Law . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

(l) Cumulative Remedies . The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

(m) Severability .

It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

ANNEX A

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the shares of Common Stock issued to the selling stockholders to permit the resale of these shares of Common Stock by the holders of the shares of Common Stock from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of Common Stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of Common Stock.

The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of Common Stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of Common Stock may be sold on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, in the over-the-counter market or in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market and in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

   

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

   

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

   

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

   

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

   

privately negotiated transactions;

 

   

settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

 

   

broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

   

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

 

   

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

   

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as permitted by that rule, or Section 4(1) under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of those provisions.


Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of Common Stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of Common Stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal. Such commissions will be in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction will not be in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with applicable FINRA rules; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with applicable FINRA rules.

In connection with sales of the shares of Common Stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of Common Stock short and if such short sale shall take place after the date that this Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission, the selling stockholders may deliver shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the selling stockholders have been advised that they may not use shares registered on this registration statement to cover short sales of our common stock made prior to the date the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, has been declared effective by the SEC.

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer or agents participating in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer or agent and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Selling Stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities of, including but not limited to, Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act, or the Exchange Act.

Each selling stockholder has informed the Company that it is not a registered broker-dealer and does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock. Upon the Company being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Common Stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a


supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of Common Stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction.

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of Common Stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of Common Stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

Each selling stockholder and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Common Stock by the selling stockholder and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock.

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided , however , that each selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any and any related legal expenses incurred by it in excess of $5,000. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreement, or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholders specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements, or we may be entitled to contribution.

“An Issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of common stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling stockholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration statement become effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.”

By returning this Questionnaire, the undersigned will be deemed to be aware of the foregoing interpretation.

I confirm that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the foregoing statements (including without limitation the answers to this Questionnaire) are correct.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned, by authority duly given, has caused this Questionnaire to be executed and delivered either in person or by its duly authorized agent.

UNWIRED PLANET ANNOUNCES $50 MILLION FINANCING TO SUPPORT ITS LONG TERM

MOBILE INDUSTRY IP LICENSING STRATEGY

Financing Consisting of $25 Million Senior Notes and $25 Million Common Stock Issuance

Common Stock to be Issued Pursuant to a Registered Direct Placement to a Single Investor

and a Backstopped Equity Rights Offering to Current Shareholders

RENO, NV – June 28, 2013 – Unwired Planet, Inc. (NASDAQ: UPIP) (“Unwired Planet” or the “Company”) today announced a financing transaction that will provide an additional $50 million of long term financing to support the Company’s licensing efforts. The financing consists of a $25 million private placement of senior notes, a $12.5 million registered direct placement of common stock and a $12.5 million fully backstopped equity rights offering to current shareholders.

The Company has entered into definitive agreements with Indaba Capital Fund, L.P. (“Indaba”) in connection with the private placement of senior notes and the registered direct placement of common stock. Indaba has also agreed to fully backstop the Company’s proposed $12.5 million rights offering.

“We are pleased to announce this capital raising transaction, which provides a long term and flexible source of funding for our ongoing intellectual property licensing program.” said Eric Vetter, President and Chief Administrative Officer of Unwired Planet. “This $50 million financing strengthens the Company’s financial position and allows us to broaden our licensing efforts.”

Peter Feld, Chairman of Unwired Planet added: “The rights offering is designed to give all shareholders an opportunity to participate in this financing as we continue to roll out our licensing efforts following the expansion of our patent portfolio through the transaction with Ericsson earlier this year.”


Derek Schrier, Managing Partner and CIO of Indaba Capital, added: “We are very pleased to support Unwired Planet with this capital raising. The Company has assembled a strong management team with deep intellectual property expertise. With its rich intellectual property portfolio and aligned and supportive stakeholders, we believe that Unwired Planet is well positioned to generate significant licensing income over the coming years.”

The proceeds from the financing transactions are expected to be used for general corporate purposes as the Company continues to pursue its long term licensing program.

The closing of the private placement of senior notes and the registered direct placement of common stock are expected to take place on or about June 28, 2013, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Evercore Partners acted as financial adviser to Unwired Planet in connection with the private placement of Senior Notes, the registered direct placement of common stock and the committed backstop financing for the rights offering.

Further details:

Private Placement of Senior Notes . Indaba has agreed to purchase $25 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes in a private placement transaction. The Notes will initially bear interest at a rate of 12.875% per annum, payable in-kind for the first two years following issue. After the first two years, interest on the Notes is payable in cash at a rate of 12.5% per annum or in-kind at a rate of 12.875% per annum. The Notes will mature on June 30, 2018, unless previously repurchased in accordance with their terms.

Registered Direct Placement of Common Stock . Indaba has agreed to purchase 7,530,120 shares of common stock pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement at an offering price of $1.66 per share, for a total of $12.5 million of gross proceeds. A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. A prospectus supplement relating to the offering will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Rights Offering . The Company has filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a proposed $12.5 million rights offering. The rights offering will be made through the pro rata distribution of non-transferable subscription rights to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 7,530,120 shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the proposed rights offering, each stockholder as of the July 8, 2013 record date will receive, at no charge, one subscription right for each share of common stock owned on the record date, and each right will entitle the rights holder to purchase its pro rata allocation of shares of the Company’s common stock. Based on the number of shares outstanding as of June 24, 2013, each rights holder would be entitled to purchase 0.08146 shares of the Company’s common stock at a subscription price of $1.66 per share. The subscription ratio may be adjusted as necessary to reflect the actual number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the record date.

Indaba has agreed to purchase from the Company, at the same subscription price of $1.66 per share, any shares of common stock that are not purchased by the Company’s other stockholders in the rights offering, up to the full $12.5 million of gross proceeds. In consideration for Indaba’s backstop commitment, the Company has agreed to issue to Indaba shares of common stock, valued at the subscription price, in an amount equal to 3.0% of Indaba’s backstop commitment. The shares of common stock to be sold or otherwise issued to Indaba in connection with its backstop commitment will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The Company has agreed, subject to certain terms and conditions, to file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of the securities to be sold or otherwise issued to Indaba in connection with its backstop commitment.

The commencement and expiration dates of the rights offering will be included in the final prospectus.

The rights offering is subject to the effectiveness of the registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The registration statement relating to the rights offering has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective. The securities issuable in the rights offering may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective.


This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of, these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
