Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Facility Agreement

On April 3, 2017 (the “Agreement Date”), Endologix, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) with affiliates of Deerfield Management Company, L.P. (collectively, “Deerfield”), pursuant to which Deerfield agreed to loan to the Company up to $120 million, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Facility Agreement (the “Term Loan”). The Company drew the entire principal amount of the Term Loan on the Agreement Date. The Company agreed to pay Deerfield a yield enhancement fee equal to 2.25% of the principal amount of the funds disbursed on the Agreement Date. The Company also agreed to reimburse Deerfield for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Deerfield in connection with the negotiation and documentation of the Facility Agreement up to a capped amount. Concurrently with entering into the Facility Agreement, the Company entered into a Guaranty and Security Agreement with Deerfield (the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which, as security for the repayment of the Company’s obligations under the Facility Agreement, the Company granted to Deerfield a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets including intellectual property, with the priority of such security interest being pari passu with the security interest granted pursuant to the Revolver.

The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the Term Loan will be approximately $113 million, after deducting estimated transaction expenses. As described below, the Company intends to use approximately $52.5 million of the net proceeds from the Term Loan to repurchase $53.1 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018, plus the accrued but unpaid interest thereon, from the holders thereof in privately negotiated transactions. Endologix intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the Term Loan for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Any amounts drawn under the Facility Agreement will accrue interest at a rate of 6.87% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears beginning on July 1, 2017 and on the first business day of each calendar quarter thereafter and on the Maturity Date, unless repaid earlier. The Company will be required to pay Deerfield on each of April 2, 2021, April 2, 2022 and April 2, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”), an amortization payment equal to $40 million (or, if on the Maturity Date, the remaining outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan).

Upon a change of control of the Company, if the acquirer satisfies certain conditions set forth in the Facility Agreement, such acquirer may assume the outstanding principal amount under the Facility Agreement without penalty. If such acquirer does not satisfy the conditions set forth in the Facility Agreement, Deerfield may, at its option, require the Company to repay the outstanding principal balance under the Facility Agreement plus, depending on the timing of the change of control transaction, the Company may be required to pay a make-whole premium and will be required to pay a change of control fee.

At any time on or after the fourth anniversary of the Agreement Date, the Company has the right to prepay any amounts owed under the Facility Agreement without premium or penalty, unless such prepayment occurs in connection with a change of control of the Company, in which case the Company must pay Deerfield a change of control fee unless such change of control occurs beyond a certain period after the Maturity Date. At any time prior to the fourth anniversary of the Agreement Date, any prepayment made by the Company will be subject to a make-whole premium and, if such prepayment occurs in connection with a change of control of the Company, a change of control fee.

Any amounts drawn under the Facility Agreement may become immediately due and payable upon customary events of default, as defined in the Facility Agreement, or the consummation of certain change of control transactions, as described above.

The Facility Agreement contains various representations and warranties, events of default, and affirmative and negative covenants, customary for financings of this type, including reporting requirements, requirements that the Company maintain timely reporting with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and restrictions on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional liens on their assets, incur additional indebtedness and acquire and dispose of assets outside the ordinary course of business.


Warrants

In connection with the execution of the Facility Agreement, the Company issued to Deerfield warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,470,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $9.23 per share (the “Warrants”). The number of shares of common stock of the Company into which the Warrants are exercisable and the exercise price of the Warrants will be adjusted to reflect any stock splits, recapitalizations or similar adjustments in the number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.

The Warrants expire on the seventh anniversary of the Agreement Date. Subject to certain exceptions, the Warrants contain limitations such that the Company may not issue shares of common stock of the Company to Deerfield upon the exercise of the Warrants if such issuance would result in Deerfield beneficially owning in excess of 4.985% of the total number of shares of common stock of the Company then issued and outstanding.

The holders of the Warrants may exercise the Warrants for cash, on a cashless basis or through a reduction of an amount of principal outstanding under the Term Loan. In connection with certain major transactions, the holders may have the option to convert the Warrants, in whole or in part, into the right to receive the transaction consideration payable upon consummation of such major transaction in respect of a number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the Black-Scholes value of the Warrants, as defined therein, and in the case of other major transactions, the holders may have the right to exercise the Warrants, in whole or in part, for a number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the Black-Scholes value of the Warrants.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Term Loan and the issuance of the Warrants, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Deerfield (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or if Form S-3 is not then available, such other form of registration statement as is then available) with the Commission on or prior to the 30th day following the Agreement Date, to register for resale the shares of common stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.

Credit and Security Agreement

On the Agreement Date, the Company entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Deerfield ELGX Revolver, LLC (“Deerfield Revolver”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to the lesser of $50 million or its applicable borrowing base from time to time prior to March 31, 2020 (the “Revolver”). Any outstanding principal under the Revolver will accrue interest at a rate equal to 3-month LIBOR (with a 1% floor) plus 4.60%, payable monthly in arrears on the first business day of the immediately succeeding calendar month and on the maturity date. The Company is subject to other fees in addition to interest on the outstanding principal amount under the Revolver, including in connection with an early termination of the Revolver. The Revolver replaces the Company’s $50 million asset-based revolving line of credit with MidCap Financial Trust. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets including intellectual property, with the priority of such security interest being pari passu with the security interest granted pursuant to the Term Loan.

The foregoing descriptions of the Facility Agreement, the Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Credit Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to these agreements, copies of which are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are 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 disclosure set forth in Item 1.01 above relating to the Facility Agreement, the Security Agreement and the Credit Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.


Item 3.02. Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.

The Warrants described in Item 1.01 above were offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder. The Facility Agreement contains representations and warranties to support the Company’s reasonable belief that Deerfield had access to information concerning its operations and financial condition, that Deerfield is acquiring the Warrants for its own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and that Deerfield is an “accredited investor” as defined by Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On April 4, 2017, in privately-negotiated transactions, the Company agreed to repurchase approximately $53.1 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) for approximately $52.5 million in cash, which amount includes accrued and unpaid interest on the repurchased 2018 Notes.

Warrant to Purchase Common Stock

Endologix, Inc.

THIS CERTIFIES that                      or any subsequent holder hereof (“Holder”) has the right to purchase from Endologix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),              (            ) fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), subject to adjustment as provided herein, at a price equal to the Exercise Price (as defined in Section 3 below), at any time during the Term (as defined in Section 1 below).

Holder agrees with the Company that this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock of the Company (this “Warrant” or this “Agreement”) is issued and all rights hereunder shall be held subject to all of the conditions, limitations and provisions set forth herein.

1. Date of Issuance and Term .

This Warrant shall be deemed to be issued on April 3, 2017 (“Date of Issuance”). The term of this Warrant begins on the Date of Issuance and ends at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is seven (7) years after the Date of Issuance (the “Term”). This Warrant was issued pursuant to that certain Facility Agreement (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Facility Agreement”) by and among the Company and Deerfield Private Design Fund III, L.P., Deerfield


Private Design Fund IV, L.P., Deerfield Partners, L.P. and Deerfield International Master Fund, L.P., dated as of April 3, 2017, and in conjunction with that certain Registration Rights Agreement (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Registration Rights Agreement”) by and among the Company and Deerfield Private Design Fund III, L.P., Deerfield Private Design Fund IV, L.P., Deerfield Partners, L.P. and Deerfield International Master Fund, L.P., dated as of April 3, 2017.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not issue to Holder, and Holder may not acquire, a number of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant to the extent that, upon such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (including shares held by any “group” of which Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein), would exceed 4.985% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “4.985% Cap”); provided, however, that the 4.985% Cap shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

With respect to a Holder, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by the same investment manager as such Holder shall, for purposes hereof, be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Holder.

“Asset Sale” means a transaction covered by the provisions of clause (B) of the definition of “Major Transaction” involving the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Facility Agreement), taken as a whole) in connection with which the Company has announced its intention to liquidate and distribute its assets to stockholders.

2. Exercise .

(a) Manner of Exercise . During the Term (or, in respect of a Cashless Major Exercise, the Cashless Major Exercise Period (as defined below)), this Warrant may be Exercised as to all or any lesser number of whole shares of Common Stock covered hereby (the “Warrant Shares” or the “Shares”) by sending to the Company the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit  A-1 (the “Exercise Form”) duly completed and executed, and, if applicable, the full Exercise Price (as defined below, which may be satisfied by a Cash Exercise, a Cashless Exercise or a Note Exchange Exercise, as each is defined below) for each share of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is Exercised, at the office of the Company, 2 Musick, Irvine, CA 92618, Attention: Chief Financial Officer; Phone: (949) 595-7200, Email: vmahboob@endologix.com, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing, by overnight mail or electronic mail (any such exercise of the Warrant being hereinafter called an “Exercise” of this Warrant).

(b) Date of Exercise . The “Date of Exercise” of the Warrant shall, in each case, be the date that the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit  A-1 , completed and executed, is sent by electronic mail to the Company, provided that the Exercise Price is satisfied as soon as practicable thereafter but in no event later than two (2) Business Days following the date of such electronic mail. Alternatively, the Date of Exercise shall be defined as the date the original Exercise Form is received by the Company, if Holder has not previously sent the Exercise Form by electronic mail. Upon delivery of the Exercise Form to the Company by electronic mail or otherwise, Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been Exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to Holder’s or its designee’s Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be; provided, however, that in the event an Exercise Form in respect of a Cashless Major Exercise is delivered prior to the occurrence of the applicable Major Transaction, Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction and the Date of Exercise shall in such event be deemed to have occurred on the date of the occurrence of the Major Transaction. Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for

 

4


cancellation within three (3) Trading Days following the date the final Exercise Form is delivered to the Company. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Form with respect to a partial Exercise shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

(c) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Exercise . Within the earlier of (x) three (3) Trading Days and (y) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after any Date of Exercise (but, in the case of a Cash Exercise, within two (2) Business Days following the Company’s receipt of the full Exercise Price, if later) or in the case of a Cashless Default Exercise (as defined in Section 5(b) below), within the period provided in Section 3(c), as applicable (the “Delivery Period”), the Company shall issue and deliver (or cause its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to issue and deliver) in accordance with the terms hereof to or upon the order of Holder that number of shares of Common Stock (“Exercise Shares”) for the portion of this Warrant exercised as shall be determined in accordance herewith. Upon the Exercise of this Warrant or any part hereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering an opinion of counsel, to assure that the Transfer Agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Holder (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by Holder and in such denominations as Holder shall specify at Exercise, representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Exercise. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the Transfer Agent and that, unless waived by Holder, this Warrant and the Exercise Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain or be subject to a legend (or be subject to any stop transfer instruction) restricting the resale or transferability of the Exercise Shares if the Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) are met.

The Company shall be responsible for paying all present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar taxes that arise from any payment or issuance made under, from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Warrant.

(d) Delivery Failure . In addition to any other remedies which may be available to Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Exercise Shares by the end of the Delivery Period (a “Delivery Failure”), Holder will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation, except that the Failure Payments under Section 10(b) shall be payable through the date such notice of revocation is given to the Company.

(e) Legends .

(i) Restrictive Legend . Holder understands that until such time as this Warrant, the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares (as defined below) have been registered under the Securities Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, this Warrant, the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order consistent therewith may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities):

 

5


“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT INCLUDING PURSUANT TO SECTION 4(A)(7) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT OR PURSUANT TO A PRIVATE SALE EFFECTED UNDER APPLICABLE FORMAL OR INFORMAL SEC INTERPRETATION OR GUIDANCE, SUCH AS A SO-CALLED “4[(a)](1) AND A HALF” SALE.” NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

“THE SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF APRIL 3, 2017, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF ITS OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”

(ii) Removal of Restrictive Legends . This Warrant and the certificates (or electronic book entries, if applicable) evidencing the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, shall not contain or be subject to any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in subsection 2(e)(i)) or be subject to any stop-transfer instructions: (A) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the sale or resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (B) following any sale of such Warrant, Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Warrant, Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), or (D) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date, or at such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions have been met, if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the issuance of this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, without a restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder. If any of the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, then such Warrant, Exercise Shares or Failure Payment Shares, as

 

6


applicable, shall be issued free of all legends and stop-transfer instructions. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date, or at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(e), it will, no later than the earlier of (x) three (3) Trading Days and (y) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following the delivery (the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Deadline”) by Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of this Warrant and a certificate representing Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to Holder this Warrant and/or a certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends (and stop transfer instructions). For purposes hereof, “Effective Date” shall mean the date that the first Registration Statement that the Company is required to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement has been declared effective by the SEC.

(iii) Sale of Unlegended Shares . Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from this Warrant and any certificates representing securities as set forth in Section 2(e) above is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that Holder will sell this Warrant or any Exercise Shares and/or any Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.

(f) Cancellation of Warrant . This Warrant shall be canceled upon the full Exercise of this Warrant, and, as soon as practical after the Date of Exercise, Holder shall be entitled to receive Common Stock for the number of shares purchased upon such Exercise of this Warrant, and if this Warrant is not Exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing terms identical to this Warrant) representing any unexercised portion of this Warrant in addition to such Common Stock; provided, however, as set forth in Section 2(b), Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this warrant if the Warrant is not Exercised in full.

(g) Holder of Record . Each person in whose name any Warrant for shares of Common Stock is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be Holder of record of such shares on the Date of Exercise, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Common Stock purchased upon the Exercise of this Warrant. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon Holder any rights as a stockholder of the Company.

(h) Delivery of Electronic Shares . In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise or legend removal, or representing Failure Payment Shares, upon written request of Holder, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Transfer Agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise to Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system. The time periods for delivery and penalties described herein shall apply to the electronic transmittals described herein. Any delivery not effected by electronic transmission shall be effected by delivery of physical certificates.

In addition to any other rights or remedies available to Holder hereunder or otherwise at law or in equity, if the Company fails to cause its Transfer Agent to deliver to Holder a certificate or certificates, or electronic shares through DWAC, representing the Exercise Shares pursuant to an Exercise on or before the last day of the Delivery Period (other than a failure caused by any incorrect or incomplete information provided by Holder to the Company hereunder), and if after such date Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or Holder or Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by Holder of the Exercise Shares which Holder was entitled to receive upon such Exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to Holder the amount by which (x) Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Exercise Shares that the Company was required to deliver to Holder in connection with the Exercise at issue by (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Exercise Shares for which such Exercise was not honored (and refund the Exercise Price therefor, to the extent paid by Holder, and/or reinstate the principal amount of any indebtedness used to satisfy the applicable Exercise Price) or deliver to Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its Exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted Exercise to cover the sale of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay Holder $1,000. Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon Exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(j) HSR Submissions. If Holder determines that, in connection with the exercise of this Warrant, it and the Company are required to file Premerger Notification Reports with the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and observe the Waiting Period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the related rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “HSR Act”), the Company agrees to (i) cooperate with Holder in Holder’s preparing and making such submission and any responses to inquiries of the FTC and DOJ; (ii) prepare and make any submission required to be filed by the Company under the HSR Act and respond to inquiries of the FTC and DOJ in connection therewith; and (iii) reimburse Holder for the cost of the required filing fee for Holder’s submission under the HSR Act. For the avoidance of doubt, Holder shall bear all of its other costs and expenses in connection with such submission, including any attorneys’ fees associated therewith.

3. Payment of Warrant Exercise Price for Cash Exercise or Cashless Exercise; Cashless Major Exercise and Cashless Default Exercise .

(a) Exercise Price . The exercise price shall initially equal $9.23 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms hereof (as so adjusted, the “Exercise Price”), including but not limited to Section 5 below.

 

8


Payment of the Exercise Price may be made by either of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of Holder:

(i) Cash Exercise : Holder may exercise this Warrant in cash, bank or cashier’s check or wire transfer (a “Cash Exercise”);

(ii) Cashless Exercise : In lieu of paying all or any portion of the Exercise Price in cash, Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant (in whole or in part) on a cashless basis by making appropriate notation on the applicable Exercise Form, in which event the Company shall issue Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

X = Y (A-B)/A

where:    X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.

Y = the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is being Exercised.

A = the Market Price of one (1) share of Common Stock (for purposes of this Section 3(a)(ii), where “Market Price,” as of any date, means the Volume Weighted Average Price (as defined herein) of the Company’s Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the Date of Exercise or other date in question, as applicable.

B = the Exercise Price.

As used herein, the “Volume Weighted Average Price” for any security as of any date means the volume weighted average sale price on the NasdaqGS as reported by, or based upon data reported by, Bloomberg Financial Markets or an equivalent, reliable reporting service mutually acceptable to and hereafter designated by holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants and the Company (“Bloomberg”) or, if the NasdaqGS is not the principal trading market for such security, the volume weighted average sale price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no volume weighted average sale price is reported for such security, then the last closing trade price of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no last closing trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the OTCQX Market, the OTCQB Market or on the “pink” market of OTC Markets Group Inc. If the Volume Weighted Average Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the volume weighted average price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants being Exercised for which the calculation of the volume weighted average price is required in order to determine the Exercise Price of such Warrants.

(iii) Note Exchange Exercise : In lieu of paying all or any portion of the Exercise Price in cash, Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant (in whole or in part) through a reduction of an amount of principal outstanding under any Notes in accordance with Section 2.3(b) of the Facility Agreement, then held by Holder (a “Note Exchange Exercise”)

 

9


For purposes of Rule 144 and subsection (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction or a Note Exchange Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired at the time this Warrant was issued (in the case of a Cashless Exercise) or at the time the applicable Note was issued (in the case of a Note Exchange Exercise). Moreover, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the holding period for the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction or a Note Exchange Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have commenced on the date this Warrant was issued (in the case of a Cashless Exercise) or on the date the applicable Note was issued (in the case of a Note Exchange Exercise). As provided in Section 2(b), Holder shall only be required to physically surrender this Warrant in the event that Holder is exercising this Warrant in full.

(b) Cashless Major Exercise. To the extent Holder shall exercise this Warrant as a Cashless Major Exercise pursuant to Section 5(b)(i) and 5(b)(iii) below, Holder shall send to the Company (in any manner permitted under Section 2(a)) the Exercise Form indicating that Holder is exercising this Warrant (or any portion thereof) pursuant to a Cashless Major Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Black-Scholes Value of the Warrant (or such applicable portion being exercised) divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the applicable Major Transaction is consummated, or, if in respect of a Cashless Major Exercise made after the date of consummation of the applicable Major Transaction, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the exercise form in respect of such Cashless Major Exercise is delivered. As provided in Section 2(b), Holder shall only be required to physically surrender this Warrant in the event that Holder is exercising this Warrant in full. Holder shall be permitted to make successive Cashless Major Exercises and send successive Exercise Forms in respect of a Cashless Major Exercise from time to time at any time during the Cashless Major Exercise Period.

(c) Cashless Default Exercise . To the extent Holder exercises this Warrant as a Cashless Default Exercise pursuant to Section 11(b)(i) below, Holder shall send to the Company (in any manner permitted under Section 2(a)) the Exercise Form indicating that Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a Cashless Default Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder, within five (5) Trading Days of the applicable Default Notice, a number of shares of Common Stock (which shares shall be valued at the closing price of the Common Stock on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Exercise Form in respect of such Cashless Default Exercise is delivered) equal to the Black-Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant (or such portion thereof subject to such exercise) as of the date of such Default Notice (or in the case of an Event of Default referred to in Section 11(a)(vi), on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date the dividend or distribution is declared or, if not first declared, is paid). As provided in Section 2(b), the Holder shall be permitted to make successive Cashless Default Exercises and send successive Exercise Forms in respect of a Cashless Default Exercise, from time to time at any time from and after the date of the applicable Default Notice through the Term of this Warrant.

 

10


(d) Dispute Resolution . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s Common Stock or the arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price or the Successor Major Transaction Consideration, or the number of shares issuable upon a Cashless Major Exercise, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via electronic mail within two (2) Business Days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the Exercise Form or Major Transaction Early Termination Notice, or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to Holder. If Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via electronic mail (i) the disputed determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s Common Stock to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by Holder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price, any Successor Major Transaction Consideration or number of shares issuable upon a Cashless Major Exercise to the Company’s independent, outside registered public accountants. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the investment bank or the accountants, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and Holder of the results no later than five (5) Trading Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountants’ determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error, and the Company and Holder shall each pay one half of the fees and costs of such investment banker or accountant. Notwithstanding the existence of a dispute contemplated by this paragraph, if requested by Holder, the Company shall issue to Holder the Exercise Shares not in dispute in accordance with the terms hereof.

4. Transfer and Registration .

(a) Transfer Rights . Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, in person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly completed and endorsed. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this Warrant transferred, and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to the portion hereof retained.

(b) Registrable Securities . The Common Stock issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant entitles Holder (and applicable assignees or transferees of such Common Stock) to registration and other rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

11


5. Adjustments Upon Certain Events .

(a) Recapitalization or Reclassification . If the Company shall at any time effect a stock split, payment of stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of such character that the shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock which Holder shall be entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant, shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock by reason of such stock split, payment of stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction, and the Exercise Price shall be, in the case of an increase in the number of shares, proportionally decreased and, in the case of decrease in the number of shares, proportionally increased. The Company shall give Holder the same notice it provides to holders of Common Stock of any transaction described in this Section 5(a).

(b) Rights Upon Major Transaction .

(i) Major Transaction . In the event that a Major Transaction occurs, then (1) in the case of a Successor Major Transaction, Holder, at its option, may elect to cause the conversion of this Warrant (a “Successor Major Transaction Conversion”), in whole or in part, into the right to receive the Successor Major Transaction Consideration, upon consummation of the Major Transaction, and (2) in the case of all other Major Transactions, Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant (or any portion thereof), at any time and from time to time following the occurrence of such event, as a Cashless Major Exercise. In the event Holder shall not have exercised any of its rights under clauses (1) or (2) above within the applicable time periods set forth herein, then the Major Transaction shall be treated as an Assumption (as defined below) in accordance with Section 5(b)(ii) below unless Holder waives its rights under this Section 5(b) with respect to such Major Transaction. Each of the following events shall constitute a “Major Transaction”:

(A) a consolidation, merger, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, business combination or other similar event, (1) following which the holders of Common Stock immediately preceding such consolidation, merger, exchange, recapitalization, reorganization, combination or event either (a) no longer hold a majority of the shares of Common Stock or (b) no longer have the ability to elect a majority of the board of directors of the Company or (2) as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into (or the shares of Common Stock become entitled to receive) the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of stock or securities of the Company or another entity (collectively, a “Change of Control Transaction”);

(B) the sale or transfer, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of (I) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole) to any Person other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company or (II) assets of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole) for a purchase price equal to more than 50% of the Equity Value (as defined below) of the Company. For purposes of this clause

 

12


(B), “Equity Value” shall mean (I) the product of (x) the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on the date the Company delivers the Major Transaction Notice (defined below) multiplied by (y) the per share closing price of the Common Stock on such date on the NasdaqGS as reported by, or based upon data reported by, Bloomberg or, if the NasdaqGS is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing sale price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg;

(C) a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, such that following such purchase, tender or exchange offer a Change of Control Transaction shall have occurred;

(D) the liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or winding-up (or the occurrence of any analogous proceeding) affecting the Company;

(E) the shares of Common Stock cease to be listed, traded or publicly quoted on the NasdaqGS and are not promptly re-listed or requoted on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Capital Market; or

(F) the Common Stock ceases to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

(ii) Assumption. Any assumption of Company obligations under this paragraph shall be referred to herein as an “Assumption.” Unless otherwise provided in writing by Holder, the Company shall not consummate a Major Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity or as a result of which the Company has a new Parent Entity, unless (A) each Person acquiring the Company’s assets or Common Stock (or Parent Entity thereof, as applicable), or any other successor entity resulting from such Major Transaction (in each case, a “Successor Entity”), assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant, the Facility Agreement (but, other than with respect to the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 5.1(e) and 5.1(p) of the Facility Agreement and the other provisions of the Facility Agreement that expressly survive the repayment of the Loans (which shall be assumed in any Assumption), only if there are outstanding Loans under the Facility Agreement immediately following the consummation of the Major Transaction) and the Registration Rights Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(b)(ii) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Holder and approved by Holder prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), including agreements to deliver to Holder in exchange for its Warrants a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Warrants, that, among other things, (1) is exercisable for the appropriate number of shares of the Successor Entity’s capital stock (without regard to the 4.985% Cap or any other restriction or limitation on exercise, provided that such instrument shall contain a limitation on exercise comparable to that contained in the second paragraph of Section 1 of this Warrant), (2) has an exercise price similar

 

13


to the then-effective Exercise Price (taking into account any conversion or exchange ratio applicable to the Common Stock in the Major Transaction) and exercise price adjustment provisions similar to those in the Warrants; or (3) entitles Holder to such additional securities or other consideration as Holder would be entitled pursuant to Section 5(b)(i) in connection with the Major Transaction; and (4) provides for registration rights similar to those provided by the Registration Rights Agreement, in each case reasonably satisfactory to Holder, and (B) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. For the avoidance of doubt, Holders’ reasonable satisfaction referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be construed only to apply to confirmation that the warrant or other comparable security and registration rights agreement delivered to Holder upon an assumption hereunder shall conform to the requirements of this Section 5(b)(ii), and this Section 5(b)(ii) shall not be construed as granting consent or approval rights to Holder with respect to the terms of such Major Transaction or to permit Holder to demand any additional consideration in respect of this Warrant other than as provided herein. Upon the occurrence of any Major Transaction, any Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Major Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of the Major Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Major Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants prior to such Major Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Major Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant other than any applicable beneficial ownership limitations.

(iii) Major Transaction Notice; Major Transaction Early Termination Right; Notice of Cashless Major Exercise. At least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any Major Transaction, but, in any event, within five (5) Trading Days following the first to occur of (x) the date of the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or (y) the day following the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made on and after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier to Holder (a “Major Transaction Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after Holder’s receipt of a Major Transaction Notice in respect of a Successor Major Transaction and ending five (5) Trading Days prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction (the “Early Termination Period”), Holder may elect a Successor Major Transaction Conversion by delivering written notice thereof (“Major Transaction Early Termination Notice”) to the Company, which Major Transaction Early Termination Notice shall indicate the portion of the Warrant (with reference to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a Cash Exercise of such portion, without regard to the 4.985% Cap) that Holder is electing to be treated as a Successor Major Transaction Conversion. The portion of this Warrant subject to early termination pursuant to this Section 5(b)(iii), shall be converted into the right to receive the Successor Major Transaction Consideration

 

14


To the extent Holder shall elect to effect a Cashless Major Exercise in respect of a Major Transaction, Holder shall deliver its Exercise Form in accordance with Section 3(b), at any time and from time to time following receipt by Holder of the Major Transaction Notice until the later of (x) the Term of this Warrant and (y) the one-year anniversary of the applicable Major Transaction (the “Cashless Major Exercise Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, Holder shall be permitted to make successive Cashless Major Exercises and send successive Exercise Forms in respect of a Cashless Major Exercise from time to time at any time during the Cashless Major Exercise Period.

(iv) Escrow; Payment of Successor Major Transaction Consideration . Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Early Termination Notice in respect of a Successor Major Transaction from Holder, the Company shall not effect a Successor Major Transaction with respect to which Holder has elected a Successor Major Transaction Conversion unless either (A) it obtains, as a condition precedent to such Major Transaction, the written agreement of the Successor Entity that payment of the Successor Major Transaction Consideration shall be made to Holder concurrently with consummation of such Successor Major Transaction, or (B) it shall place the Successor Major Transaction Consideration into an escrow account with an independent escrow agent, and shall instruct the escrow agent to deliver the Successor Major Transaction Consideration to Holder, concurrently with the consummation of the Major Transaction. Notwithstanding clauses (A) and (B) above, Holder shall be treated on a pari passu basis with, and shall not have priority to payments to, the holders of Common Stock in connection with a Major Transaction. For purposes of determining the amount required to be placed in escrow pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (iv) and without affecting the amount of the actual Successor Major Transaction Consideration, the calculation of the price referred to in clause (1) of the first column of Schedule 1 hereto with respect to Stock Price shall be determined based on the Closing Market Price (as defined on Schedule I) of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that the Successor Major Transaction Consideration is deposited with the escrow agent.

(v) Injunction . Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Early Termination Notice from Holder, in the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Successor Major Transaction without either (1) placing the Successor Major Transaction Consideration in escrow in accordance with subsection (iv) above, or (2) obtaining the written agreement of the Successor Entity as described in subsection (iv) above, Holder shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal court sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan to prevent the closing of such Major Transaction until the Successor Major Transaction Consideration is delivered to Holder.

An early termination required by this Section 5(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12. To the extent an early termination required by this Section 5(b) is deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Warrant by the Company, such early termination shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, until the Successor Major Transaction Consideration is paid in full, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by Holder into

 

15


shares of Common Stock, or in the event the Exercise Date is after the consummation of the Major Transaction, shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity pursuant to Section 5(b). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s early termination of any portion of the Warrant under this Section 5(b), Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for Holder. Accordingly, any premium due under this Section 5(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a commercially reasonable estimate of Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

(c) Exercise Price Adjusted . As used in this Warrant, the term “Exercise Price” shall mean the purchase price per share specified in Section 3(a) of this Warrant, until the occurrence of an event stated in this Section 5 or otherwise set forth in this Warrant, and thereafter shall mean said price as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the provisions of said subsection. No adjustment made pursuant to any provision of this Section 5 shall have the net effect of increasing the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder or, except as expressly provided in Section 5(a), otherwise increasing the Exercise Price.

(d) Adjustments: Additional Shares, Securities or Assets . In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5 or otherwise, Holder shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive shares and/or other securities or assets (other than Common Stock) then, wherever appropriate, all references herein to shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and thereafter the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 5.

(e) Notice of Adjustments . Whenever the Exercise Price and/or number or type of securities issuable upon Exercise is adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly mail to Holder a notice (an “Exercise Price Adjustment Notice”) setting forth the Exercise Price and/or number or type of securities issuable upon Exercise after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of Holder, furnish to Holder a like Warrant setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon Exercise of the Warrant. For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides an Exercise Price Adjustment Notice pursuant to this Section 5(e), upon the occurrence of any event that leads to an adjustment of the Exercise Price, Holder would be entitled to receive a number of Exercise Shares based upon the new Exercise Price, as adjusted, for exercises occurring on or after the date of such adjustment, regardless of whether Holder accurately refers to the adjusted Exercise Price in the Exercise Form.

6. Fractional Interests .

No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder may purchase only a whole number of shares of Common Stock. If, on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Exercise shall be the next higher whole number of shares.

 

16


7. Reservation of Shares .

From and after the date hereof, the Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities substituted therefor as herein above provided) as shall be sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price. If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is below the number of shares sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant (a “Share Authorization Failure”) (based on the Exercise Price in effect from time to time), the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations under this Section 7, in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, and using its best efforts to obtain stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares. The Company covenants and agrees that upon the Exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any Person. The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be approved for listing on the NasdaqGS, or, if the NasdaqGS is not the principal trading market for the Common Stock, such principal market on which the Common Stock is traded or listed.

8. Restrictions on Transfer .

(a) Registration or Exemption Required . This Warrant has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 thereunder and exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state securities (or “blue sky”) laws. None of the Warrant, the Exercise Shares or Failure Payment Shares may be pledged, transferred, sold or assigned except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws, including Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act or a so-called “4[(a)](1) and a half” transaction.

(b) Assignment . Subject to Section 8(a), Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, in whole or in part. Holder shall deliver a written notice to the Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit  B , indicating the Person or Persons to whom the Warrant shall be assigned and the respective number of warrants to be assigned to each assignee. The Company shall effect the assignment within three (3) Business Days of its receipt of a completed and executed form of Assignment (the “Transfer Delivery Period”), and shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and terms entitling Holder to purchase the appropriate number of shares. This Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder. For avoidance of doubt, in the event Holder notifies the Company that such sale or

 

17


transfer is a so called “4[(a)](1) and half” transaction, the parties hereto agree that a legal opinion from outside counsel for Holder delivered to counsel for the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit  C shall be the only requirement to satisfy an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to effectuate such “4[(a)](1) and half” transaction.

9. Noncircumvention .

The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

10. Events of Failure; Definition of Black Scholes Value .

(a) Definition.

The occurrence of each of the following shall be considered to be an “Event of Failure.”

(i) A Delivery Failure occurs, where a “Delivery Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its best efforts to deliver Exercise Shares to Holder within any applicable Delivery Period (other than due to the limitation contained in the second paragraph of Section 1);

(ii) A Legend Removal Failure occurs, where a “Legend Removal Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its best efforts to issue this Warrant and/or Exercise Shares without a restrictive legend, or fails to use it best efforts to remove a restrictive legend, when and as required under Section 2(e) hereof;

(iii) a Transfer Delivery Failure occurs, where a “Transfer Delivery Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its best efforts to deliver a Warrant within any applicable Transfer Delivery Period; and

(iv) a Registration Failure (as defined below).

For purpose hereof, “Registration Failure” means that (A) the Company fails to file with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) any Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, (B) the Company fails to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain effectiveness with the SEC, prior to the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), and if such Registration Statement does not become effective prior to the Registration Deadline, as soon as possible thereafter, of any Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) that is required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, or fails to use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement current

and effective as required in Section 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement, (C) the Company fails to file any additional Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) of the Registration Rights Agreement on or before the Additional Filing Deadline or fails to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such new Registration Statement to become effective on or before the Additional Registration Deadline, and if such effectiveness does not occur within such period, as soon as possible thereafter, (D) the Company fails to file any amendment to any Registration Statement, or any additional Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement within thirty (30) days of the applicable Registration Trigger Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), or fails to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective within ninety (90) days of the applicable Registration Trigger Date, and, if such effectiveness does not occur within such period, as soon as possible thereafter, (E) any Registration Statement required to be filed under the Registration Rights Agreement, after its initial effectiveness and during the Registration Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), lapses in effect or, other than on a day during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), sales of all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) cannot otherwise be made thereunder (whether by reason of the Company’s failure to amend or supplement the prospectus included therein in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company’s failure to file and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain effectiveness with the SEC of an additional Registration Statement or amended Registration Statement required pursuant to Sections 2(a)(ii) or 3(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement, as applicable, or otherwise), or (F) the Company fails to provide a commercially reasonable written response to any comments to any Registration Statement submitted by the SEC within twenty-five (25) days of the date that such SEC comments are received by the Company.

(b) Failure Payments; Black- Scholes Determination. The Company understands that any Event of Failure (as defined above) could result in economic loss to Holder. In the event that any Event of Failure occurs, as compensation to Holder for such economic loss, the Company agrees to pay to Holder an amount payable, at the Company’s option, either (i) in cash or (ii) in shares of Common Stock that are valued for these purposes at the Volume Weighted Average Price on the date of such calculation (“Failure Payments” and such shares, “Failure Payment Shares”), in each case equal to the total economic loss of Holder determined on a commercially reasonable basis in connection with such Event of Failure for the relevant period (as recalculated on the first Business Day of each month thereafter for as long as Failure Payments shall continue to accrue) from the date of such Event of Failure until the Event of Failure is cured; provided, however, that in the event the Company elects to make Failure Payments in Failure Payment Shares, the Company shall issue, and Holder shall only receive, up to such number of shares of Common Stock in respect of Failure Payments such that Holder and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) shall not collectively beneficially own greater than 4.985% of the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issued and outstanding, and the balance of such Failure Payments shall be paid in cash. For purposes of clarification, it is agreed and understood that Failure Payments shall continue to accrue following any Event of Default until the applicable Default Amount is paid in full. The Company shall satisfy any Failure Payments under this Section pursuant to Section 10(c) below. Failure Payments are in addition to any Shares that Holder is entitled to receive upon Exercise of this Warrant.

 

19


(c) Payment of Accrued Failure Payments. The Failure Payments and Failure Payment Shares representing accrued Failure Payments for each Event of Failure shall be paid or issued and delivered, as the case may be, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day of each month following a month in which Failure Payments accrued. Nothing herein shall limit Holder’s right to pursue actual damages (to the extent in excess of the Failure Payments) for the Company’s Event of Failure, and Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding the above, if a particular Event of Failure results in an Event of Default pursuant to Section 11 hereof, then the Failure Payment, for that Event of Failure only, shall be considered to have been satisfied upon payment to Holder of an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Failure Payment, or (ii) the Default Amount, payable in accordance with Section 11.

(d) Maximum Interest Rate. Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to Holder and thereby refunded to the Company.

11. Default .

(a) Events Of Default . Each of the following events shall be considered to be an “Event of Default,” unless waived by Holder:

(i) Failure To Effect Registration. With respect to all Registration Failures, a Registration Failure occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than forty-five (45) days (or sixty (60) days in the case where the Company (i) has, by the Filing Deadline (as defined the Registration Rights Agreement) filed a Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering this Warrant and the number of shares required by the Registration Rights Agreement, and (ii) has responded in writing to any comments to the Registration Statement that the Company has received from the SEC, within ten (10) Business Days of such receipt, and nevertheless the SEC has not declared effective a Registration Statement covering the this Warrant and the Shares by the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)), and such Registration Failure relates solely to the Company’s failure to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and with respect to a Registration Failure provided in clause (E) of the definition of “Registration Failure,” such Registration Failure occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than forty-five (45) days.

(ii) Failure To Deliver Common Stock . A Delivery Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than twenty (20) days; or at any time, the Company announces or states in writing that it will not honor its obligations to issue shares of Common Stock to Holder upon Exercise by Holder of the Exercise rights of Holder in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.

 

20


(iii) Legend Removal Failure . A Legend Removal Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of twenty (20) days;

(A) The Company has failed to (1) place the Successor Major Transaction Consideration into escrow and instruct the escrow agent to release the Successor Major Transaction Consideration to the Holder pursuant to Section 5(b)(iii), or (2) obtain the written agreement of the Successor Entity and cause the Successor Entity to make payment as described in Section 5(b)(iii), (B) the Successor Major Transaction Consideration is not paid contemporaneously with the consummation of the Successor Major Transaction, or (C) with respect to a Major Transaction that is to be treated as an Assumption under the terms hereof, the Company has failed to meet the Assumption requirements of Section 5(b)(i); or

(vi) Section  13 Breach . During the Dividend Restriction Period, the Company declares or pays any dividend or distribution of any kind to the holders of Common Stock of the Company.

(b) Mandatory Early Termination .

(i) Mandatory Early Termination Amount; Cashless Default Exercise . The Company shall notify Holder in writing within two (2) Business Days of the occurrence of an Event of Default. If any Events of Default shall occur then, at the option of Holder, such option exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Company by such Holder (the “Default Notice”), the Company shall have the right to terminate the outstanding amount of this Warrant and pay to Holder (a “Mandatory Early Termination”), in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder by delivery of a notice to such effect to Holder within two (2) Business Days following receipt of the Default Notice, an amount payable in cash (the “Mandatory Early Termination Amount” or the “Default Amount”) equal to the Black-Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Default Notice (or in the case of an Event of Default referred to in Section 11(a)(vi), on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date the dividend or distribution is declared or, if not first declared, is paid). In the event the Company does not exercise its right to consummate a Mandatory Early Termination, then Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant, at any time and from time to time, pursuant to a Cashless Default Exercise in accordance with Section 3(c) above.

The Mandatory Early Termination Amount shall be payable within five (5) Business Days following the date of the applicable Default Notice.

(ii) Liquidated Damages . The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the sums payable as Failure Payments or pursuant to a Mandatory Early Termination shall constitute partial liquidated damages and not penalties. The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred by Holder is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified bear a reasonable proportion and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred by Holder, and (iii) the parties are sophisticated business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal and financial counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length.

 

21


Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Default Amount, together with all other amounts payable hereunder, shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including legal fees and expenses, of collection, and Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

(c) Posting Of Bond . In the event that any Event of Default occurs hereunder, the Company may not raise as a legal defense (in any Lawsuit, as defined below, or otherwise) or justification to such Event of Default any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless the Company has posted a surety bond (a “Surety Bond”) for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 130% of the aggregate Surety Bond Value (as defined below) of all of Holder’s Warrants (the “Bond Amount”), which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.

For purposes hereof, a “Lawsuit” shall mean any lawsuit, arbitration or other dispute resolution filed by either party herein pertaining to any of this Warrant, the Facility Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or any other Loan Document (as defined in the Facility Agreement).

“Surety Bond Value,” for the Warrants shall mean 130% of the of the Black-Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that such bond goes into effect.

(d) Injunction And Posting Of Bond . In the event that the Event of Default referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 11 pertains to the Company’s failure to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to Holder pursuant to a Warrant Exercise, legend removal request, or otherwise, the Company may not refuse such unlegended share delivery based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless an injunction from a court, on prior notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining Exercise of all or part of said Warrant shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a Surety Bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of the Bond Amount, which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.

(e) Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches And Injunctive Relief . The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant, the Facility Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and any other Loan Document, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of

 

22


any such breach or threatened breach (including a breach or threatened breach of Section 13), the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

The foregoing opinion is furnished only to                      and may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to or relied upon by you for any purposes other than the purpose for which furnished or by any other person for any purpose, without our prior written consent.

The number of shares of Common Stock initially included in such Registration Statement shall be no less than the aggregate number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable upon exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants, without regard to any limitations on the Investors’ ability to exercise the Warrants. Each Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided to (and shall be subject to the approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, of) the Investors and their counsel prior to its filing or other submission.


(ii) If for any reason, despite the Company’s use of its best efforts to include all of the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 (a)(i) above (and subject to Section 3(q) below), the SEC does not permit all of the Registrable Securities to be included in, or for any other reason any Registrable Securities are not then included in, such Registration Statement, then the Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Additional Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an additional Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities not already covered by an existing and effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415.

b. PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATIONS. If at any time prior to the expiration of the Registration Period (as hereinafter defined) the Company shall determine (i) to file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to an offering for its own account or for the account of any other holder of its equity securities (other than securities being registered on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans), and/or (ii) otherwise to effect an underwritten offering of any securities of the Company of a type included in a then effective Registration Statement, the Company shall send to each Investor written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the effective date of such notice, the Investor shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement and/or include in such underwritten offering, as applicable, all or any part of such Investor’s Registrable Securities that the Investor requests to be registered and/or included in the underwritten offering, as applicable, except that if, in connection with any underwritten offering for the account of the Company, the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities which may be included in such offering because, in such underwriter(s)’ judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such underwritten offering only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which the Investor has requested inclusion hereunder as the underwriter(s) shall permit;

provided, however , that the Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Company has first excluded all outstanding securities to be sold for the accounts of any holders of the Company’s equity securities which are not entitled by contract to inclusion of such securities in an underwritten offering or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities; and

provided, further, however , that, after giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso, any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with holders of other securities having the contractual right to include such securities in such underwritten offering other than holders of securities entitled to inclusion of their securities in such underwritten offering by reason of demand registration rights. No right to registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2(b) shall be construed to limit any registration required under Section 2(a) hereof. If an Investor’s Registrable Securities are included in an underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 2(b), then such Investor shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, offer and sell such Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering using the same underwriter or underwriters and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the same terms and conditions as other shares of Common Stock included in such underwritten offering. Notwithstanding anything to


the contrary set forth herein, the rights of the Investors pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall only be available in the case of an underwritten offering or in the event the Company fails to timely file, obtain effectiveness or maintain effectiveness of any Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. In connection with any registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall have the following obligations:

a. The Company shall prepare promptly, and file with the SEC as soon as practicable after such registration obligation arises hereunder (but in no event later than the applicable Filing Deadline), a Registration Statement with respect to the number of Registrable Securities provided in Section 2(a), as applicable, and thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to cause each such Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities to become effective as soon as possible after such filing, but in any event shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each such Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities to become effective no later than the Registration Deadline, and shall thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement current and effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until such date as is the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have been sold and (ii) assuming all of the Warrants will be exercised pursuant to Cash Exercises (as defined in the Warrants), the date on which all of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in the opinion of counsel to the Investors) may be immediately sold to the public without registration or restriction (including without limitation as to volume by each holder thereof), and without compliance with any “current public information” requirement, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (the “Registration Period”), which Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein), except for information provided in writing by an Investor pursuant to Section 4(a), shall 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 not misleading. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of any Registrable Securities hereunder (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without in any way affecting the Company’s obligation to register the resale of the Registrable Securities on such other form as is available, as provided in Section 2(a)), (i) the Company shall undertake to file, within twenty (20) days of such time as such form is available for such registration, a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement then in effect, or otherwise file a Registration Statement on Form S-3, registering such Registrable Securities on Form S-3; provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement (or post-effective amendment) on Form S-3 covering such Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC, and (ii) the Company shall provide that any Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed hereunder shall incorporate documents by reference (including by way of forward incorporation by reference) to the maximum extent possible.

b. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep each Registration Statement current and effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during the


Registration Period, shall comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by each Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the event that on any Trading Day (as defined below) (the “Registration Trigger Date”) the number of shares available under the Registration Statements filed pursuant to this Agreement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants, including any additional shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any anti-dilution provisions contained in the Warrants, without giving effect to any limitations on the Investors’ ability to exercise the Warrants, the Company shall amend the Registration Statements, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover the total number of Registrable Securities so issued or issuable (without giving effect to any limitations on exercise contained in the Warrants) as of the Registration Trigger Date as soon as practicable, but in any event within twenty (20) days after the Registration Trigger Date. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof, but in any event the Company shall cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective within sixty (60) days of the Registration Trigger Date or as promptly as practicable in the event the Company is required to increase its authorized shares. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded for any period on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (the “NasdaqGS”), or if not the NasdaqGS, the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.

c. The Company shall furnish to each Investor and its legal counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC or received by the Company, one copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and, in the case of a Registration Statement referred to in Section 2(a), each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought or intends to seek confidential treatment or which relates to Company matters that are in the reasonable judgment of the Company not relevant to the Investor’s interests with respect to the Registrable Securities), and (ii) such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as an Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor; provided that the Company may determine in its reasonable judgment to provide any such copies in electronic form only. The Company will promptly notify each of the Investors by electronic mail of the effectiveness of each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment. The Company will promptly respond to any and all comments received from the SEC, with a view towards causing each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable and, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than three (3) business days, following the resolution or clearance of all SEC comments or, if applicable, following notification by the SEC that any such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto will not be subject to review, shall file a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such


Registration Statement to a time and date not later than two (2) business days after the submission of such request. No later than the first business day after such Registration Statement becomes effective, the Company will file with the SEC the final prospectus included therein pursuant to Rule 424 (or successor thereto) under the Securities Act.

d. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify, in any jurisdiction where registration and/or qualification is required, the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statements under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investors shall reasonably request, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be reasonably necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

e. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, the Company shall notify each Investor that holds Registrable Securities of the happening of any event, of which the Company has knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus included in any Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to any Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver such number of copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably request.

f. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any Registration Statement, and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible moment and to notify each Investor that holds Registrable Securities (and, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof.

g. The Company shall permit a single firm of counsel designated by the Investors (“Legal Counsel”) to review such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (as well as all requests for acceleration or effectiveness thereof), a reasonable period of time prior to their filing with the SEC (not less than five (5) business days but not more than eight (8) business days) and not file any documents in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects and will not request acceleration of such Registration Statement without prior notice to Legal Counsel.


h. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning any Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to such Investor prior to making such disclosure, and allow such Investor, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

i. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, and, to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) as such with respect to such Registrable Securities.

j. The Company shall provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the initial Registration Statement.

k. The Company shall cooperate with each Investor that holds Registrable Securities being offered and the managing underwriter or underwriters with respect to an applicable Registration Statement, if any, to facilitate the timely (i) preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to such Registration Statement, and enable such certificates to be registered in such names and in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, or (ii) crediting of the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement to the applicable account (or accounts) with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system, in any such case as such Investor or the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, may reasonably request. Within three (3) business days after a Registration Statement which includes Registrable Securities becomes effective, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to each Investor) an appropriate instruction and an opinion of such counsel in the form required by the transfer agent in order to issue the Registrable Securities free of restrictive legends.

l. At the reasonable request of an Investor, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and any prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to change the plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement.

m. The Company shall not, and shall not agree to, allow the holders of any securities of the Company to include any of their securities (other than Registrable Securities) in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or any amendment or supplement thereto under Section 3(b) hereof without the consent of Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. In addition, the Company shall not include any securities for


its own account or the account of others in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or any amendment or supplement thereto filed pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof without the consent of Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.

n. Reserved.

o. The Company shall comply with all applicable laws related to a Registration Statement and offering and sale of securities and all applicable rules and regulations of governmental authorities in connection therewith (including the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC).

p. If required by the FINRA Corporate Financing Department, the Company shall promptly effect a filing with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 (or successor thereto) with respect to the public offering contemplated by resales of securities under the Registration Statement (an “Issuer Filing”), and pay the filing fee required by such Issuer Filing. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to pursue the Issuer Filing until FINRA issues a letter confirming that it does not object to the terms of the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement.

q. If at any time the SEC advises the Company in writing that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by a Registration Statement is a bona fide secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the Investors is an “underwriter.” The Investors shall have the right to participate or have their respective counsel participate in any meetings or discussions with the SEC regarding the SEC’s position and to comment or have their respective counsel comment on any written submission made to the SEC with respect thereto. No such written submission shall be made to the SEC to which any Investor’s counsel reasonably objects. In the event that, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 3(q), the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities as the SEC requires in writing be removed therefrom. Any such cut-back imposed by the SEC as contemplated by this Section 3(q) shall be imposed on a pro rata basis (based upon the Registrable Securities held by each of the Investors), first, to the Registrable Securities that are not Warrant Shares until all of such Registrable Securities are removed from the Registration Statement, and only then to the Warrant Shares, unless otherwise required by the SEC.

r. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3(e) , at any time after the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, the Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company and its counsel, in the best interest of the Company and not, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a “ Grace Period ”); provided, that the Company shall (i) promptly notify the Investors in writing of the existence of material non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company shall not disclose the content of such material non-public


information to any Investor unless otherwise requested in writing by such Investor) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) as soon as such date may be determined, promptly notify the Investors in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided , further , that (A) no Grace Period shall exceed forty-five (45) consecutive days, (B) during any three hundred sixty five (365) day period, such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of seventy-five (75) days, (C) the first day of any Grace Period must be at least ten (10) business days after the last day of any prior Grace Period and (D) no Grace Period shall be in effect on any day during any period beginning on (and including) the date that is ten (10) business days prior to any issuance by the Company of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Facility Agreement and Exhibit 2.7 thereto and ending on (and including) the date that is fifteen (15) business days after such issuance (each Grace Period that satisfies all of the requirements of this Section 3(r) being referred to as an “ Allowable Grace Period ”). For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 3(e) hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period, Failure Payments (as defined in the Warrants) shall not accrue on any day during an Allowable Grace Period, and the unavailability of a Registration Statement for resales of the Registrable Securities on any day during an Allowable Grace Period shall not constitute a “Registration Failure” (as defined in the Warrants). Upon expiration of the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(e) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material non-public information is no longer applicable.

4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR. In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, each Investor shall have the following obligations:

a. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of an Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least five (5) business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor of the information the Company requires from such Investor. Any such information shall 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 not misleading. An Investor must provide such information to the Company at least two (2) business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement if such Investor elects to have any Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement.

b. Each Investor, by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to exclude all of the Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.


c. In the event of an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(b) in which any Registrable Securities of any Investor are to be included, such Investor agrees to enter into and perform the Investor’s obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including customary indemnification and contribution obligations (as applicable to selling security holders generally), with the managing underwriter of such offering and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Investor Registrable Securities.

d. Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or 3(f), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or 3(f).

e. Each Investor agrees that it will promptly notify the Company of any material changes in the information set forth in a Registration Statement furnished by or regarding such Investor, other than changes in the number of shares beneficially owned.

5. REGISTRATION FAILURE. In the event of a Registration Failure (as defined in the Warrants), the Investors shall be entitled to Failure Payments (as defined in the Warrants) and such other rights as set forth in the Warrants.

6. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall also reimburse the Investors for the reasonable fees and disbursements of Legal Counsel in the aggregate amount up to $25,000 per registration in connection with registrations pursuant to Section 2 or 3 of this Agreement.

7. INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

a. The Company will indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) each Investor, (ii) the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees, agents of each Investor, and each Person who controls any Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, if any, (iii) any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each Investor in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, and (iv) the directors, officers, partners, employees and each Person who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, if any (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any joint or several losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (collectively, together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof, “Claims”) to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement


of a material fact in any Registration Statement, or any amendment as supplement thereto, or any filing made under state securities laws as required hereby, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees and other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 7(a) shall not apply to a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation to the extent that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or (B) to any amounts paid in settlement of any Claim effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by any of the Investors pursuant to Section 10.

b. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Section 7, deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnified Person, as the case may be;

provided, however , that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the Company, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for such Indemnified Person, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and the Company would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Company shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons, and such legal counsel shall be selected by the Investors. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 7, except to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action, and shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnified Person otherwise than pursuant to this Section 7. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Persons, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be or has been


sought hereunder (whether or not any such Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Persons of a full release from all liability with respect to such Claim or which includes any admission as to fault or culpability on the part of any Indemnified Person. The indemnification required by this Section 7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as any expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.

c. Each Investor will indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) the Company, and (ii) the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees, or agents of the Company, if any (each, a “Company Indemnified Person”), against any Claims to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities, which occurs due to the inclusion by the Company in a Registration Statement of false or misleading information about an Investor, where such information was furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for the purpose of inclusion in such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(c) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided, further, however, that an Investor shall be liable under this Section 7(c) for only that amount of a Claim as does not exceed the net amount of proceeds received by such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

d. Promptly after receipt by a Company Indemnified Person under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Company Indemnified Person shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Investor under this Section 7, deliver to such Investor a written notice of the commencement thereof, and such Investor shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent such Investor so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to such Investor and such Company Indemnified Person.

8. CONTRIBUTION. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 7(a) or 7(c) (as applicable) is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or Company Indemnified Person (as applicable) or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Person or Company Indemnified Person (as applicable) as a result of the Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Person or Company Indemnified Person (as applicable) and the indemnifying party (provided that the relative fault of any Company Indemnified Person shall be deemed to include the fault of all other Company Indemnified Persons), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 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 not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of an Investor be greater in amount than the net amount of proceeds received by such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to


such contribution obligation pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement (net of the aggregate amount of any damages or other amounts such Investor has otherwise been required to pay (pursuant to Section 7(c) or otherwise) by reason of such Investor’s untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission).

9. REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT. With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees to:

a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

c. so long as any of the Investors owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, furnish to such Investor (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act as required for applicable provisions of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit such Investor to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

10. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by each Investor to any transferee of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities if: (i) such Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, 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 (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, and (iii) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated in 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 as applicable to the Investors. In the event that the Company receives written notice from an Investor that it has transferred all or any portion of its Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section, the Company shall have up to ten (10) days to file any amendments or supplements necessary to keep a Registration Statement current and effective pursuant to Rule 415, and the commencement date of any Event of Failure (as defined in the Warrants) or Event of Default (as defined in the Warrants) under the Warrants caused thereby will be extended by ten (10) days. Each Investor shall at all times comply with the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 8 of the Warrant (to the extent applicable to such Investor), which provisions are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof.


11. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with written consent of the Company and the holders of a majority in interest of then-outstanding Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 11 shall be binding upon each of the Investors and the Company.

12. MISCELLANEOUS.

A Person is deemed to hold, and be a holder of, shares of Common Stock or other Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns of record or beneficially through a “street name” holder such shares of Common Stock or other Registrable Securities (or the Warrants or other securities upon exercise, conversion or exchange of which such Registrable Securities are directly or indirectly issuable, without giving effect to any limitations on exercise, conversion or exchange of the Warrants or other securities), and solely for purposes hereof, Registrable Securities shall be deemed outstanding to the extent they are directly or indirectly issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of the Warrants or other outstanding securities, Registrable Securities, without giving effect to any limits on exercise, conversion or exchange of the Warrants or other securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities (or the Warrants or other securities upon exercise, conversion or exchange of which such Registrable Securities are directly or indirectly issuable).

b. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms hereof shall be sent by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested) or delivered personally or by courier (including a recognized overnight delivery service) or by electronic mail and shall be effective five days after being placed in the mail, if mailed by regular United States mail, or upon receipt, if delivered personally or by courier (including a recognized overnight delivery service) or by electronic mail, in each case addressed to a party.

Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan.

If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provision of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.


e. This Agreement, the Warrants and the Facility Agreement (including all schedules and exhibits thereto) constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

f. Subject to the requirements of Section 10 hereof, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto, and the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person and Company Indemnified Person (as applicable).

g. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

h. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement, once executed by a party, may be delivered to the other party hereto by electronic transmission of a copy of this Agreement bearing the signature of the party so delivering this Agreement.

i. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other parties may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

j. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Investors by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for breach of its obligations hereunder will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of any of the provisions hereunder, that the Investors shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies in law or in equity, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

m. In the event an Investor shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the number of Registrable Securities included in a Registration Statement for such transferor.

n. There shall be no oral modifications or amendments to this Agreement. This Agreement may be modified or amended only in writing.

p. The obligations of each Investor hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any obligations on any Investor vis-à-vis any other Investor. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated herein.

q. Unless the context otherwise requires, (i) all references to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits are to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits contained in or attached to this Agreement, (ii) words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural, and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, and (ii) the use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than limitation.

In this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, unless the context otherwise requires, all words and personal pronouns relating thereto shall be read and construed as the number and gender of the party or parties requires and the verb shall be read and construed as agreeing with the required word and pronoun. The division of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents into Articles and Sections and the use of headings and captions is for convenience of reference only and shall not modify or affect the interpretation or construction of this Agreement or any of its provisions. The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” “hereinafter” and “hereto” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement (or other applicable Loan Document) as a whole and not to any particular Article or Section hereof (or thereof). The term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The term “documents” and “agreements” include any and all instruments, documents, agreements, certificates, indentures, notices and other writings, however evidenced. The use in any of the Loan Documents of the word “include” or “including,” when following any general statement, term or matter, shall not be construed to limit such statement, term or matter to the specific items or matters set forth immediately following such word or to similar items or matters, whether or not non-limiting language (such as “without limitation” or “but not limited to” or words of similar import) is used with reference thereto, but rather shall be deemed to refer to all other items or matters that fall within the broadest possible scope of such general statement, term or matter. References to a specified Article, Exhibit, Section or Schedule shall be construed as a reference to that specified Article, Exhibit, Section or Schedule of this Agreement (or other applicable Loan Document). Unless specifically stated otherwise, any reference to any of the Loan Documents means such document as the same shall be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and from time to time in effect. The references to “asset” (or “assets”) and “property” (or “properties”) in the Loan Documents are meant to be mean the same and are used throughout the Loan Documents interchangeably, and such words shall be deemed to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, Stock, accounts and contract rights. Unless otherwise specified herein or therein, all terms defined in any Loan Document shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto. The meanings of defined terms shall be equally applicable to the singular and plural forms of the defined terms. Terms (including uncapitalized terms) not otherwise defined herein and that are defined in the UCC shall have the meanings therein described. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including”; the word “since” means “since and including”; the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding,” and the word “through” means “to and including.” If any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document refers to any action taken or to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, unless otherwise expressly stated, such provision shall be interpreted to encompass any and all means, direct or indirect, of taking, or not taking, such action. References to any statute or regulation may be made by using either the common or public name thereof or a specific cite reference and, except as otherwise provided with respect to FATCA, are to be construed as including all statutory and regulatory provisions related thereto or consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting the statute or regulation, and any reference to any law or regulation, shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such law or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time. Whenever any reference is made in any Loan Document to any Person such reference shall be construed to include such Person’s permitted successors and permitted assigns. Any financial ratios required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under any Loan Document shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein or therein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no

nearest number). Unless otherwise specified, all references in any Loan Document to times of day shall be references to New York City time.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including any Note(s) evidencing the Loans) are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and their successors and assignees in and to the Loan shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 1.4 shall be construed so that the Loan is at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth below in this Section 2.5(d) shall not be required if in the Lender’s good faith judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall, on or before the date on which the Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, provide to Borrower a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is not subject to backup withholding tax.

40


not a 10% holder of the Borrower described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), and is not a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person (within the meaning of Sections 881(c)(3)(C) and 864(d)(4) of the Code or any successor provisions thereto). If the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a Portfolio Interest Certificate on behalf of such partners. Each Lender shall provide new forms (or successor forms) as reasonably requested by the Borrower from time to time and shall notify the Borrower in writing within a reasonable time after becoming aware of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms previously delivered by such Lender to the Borrower.

(e) If a payment to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, at the times prescribed by law or as reasonably requested by Borrower, such documentation as is required in order for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.5(e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.5(f), in no event shall a Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.5(f), the payment of which would place such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments with respect to such Tax had never been paid.

(a) From and after the Agreement Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and any overdue interest shall bear interest at the Interest Rate (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed in each month). Interest shall be paid in cash to the Lenders quarterly in arrears for the preceding calendar quarter on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, whether by acceleration or otherwise, commencing on July 1, 2017 and on the first Business Day of each October, January, April and July thereafter, and on the maturity (and on any date of prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment of the principal) of the Loans (each, an “ Interest Payment Date ”).

(b) As the Warrants are being issued substantially concurrently with the making of the Loans hereunder, and as Lenders are entitled to the yield enhancement payment described in Section 2.7(a) below, OID shall be applicable and the parties hereto mutually agree that the amount of OID with respect to the Notes for federal income tax purposes is $22,240,000.

 

41


(c) All interest and fees under each Loan Document shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(d) If the Obligations would otherwise constitute “applicable high yield discount obligations” within the meaning of Section 163(i) of the Code (or any successor provision thereof), on each Interest Payment Date ending on or after the fifth anniversary of the Agreement Date, at Borrower’s sole discretion, Borrower may pay in cash, on or prior to such Interest Payment Date, a minimum amount of interest (including OID) that has been previously accrued and unpaid, as shall be necessary to ensure the Obligations not be considered “applicable high yield discount obligations”.

Section 2.7 Yield Enhancement Payment; Default Interest ; CoC Fee .

(a) On the Agreement Date, the Borrower shall pay in cash in Dollars to such Lender (as such Lender funding such Disbursement shall direct) a yield enhancement payment in the amount of two and twenty-fifths of one hundred percent (2.25%) of the principal amount of such Disbursement funded by such Lender on the Agreement Date as consideration for providing such Disbursement, and such payment, at the sole option of the applicable Lender, shall be deducted from such Disbursement. Such payment shall be fully earned when paid (or when deducted from such Disbursement) and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(b) At the election (which upon such election, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, such additional interest rate shall retroactively apply to the first day of existence of such Event of Default) of Agent or the Required Lenders while any Event of Default exists (or automatically while any Event of Default under Section 5.4(a) or 5.4(d) exists), the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) on the Obligations (other than Obligations under the Warrant, the Registration Rights Agreement and any Stock) and past due interest thereon, if any, from and after the date of occurrence of such Event of Default, at a rate per annum which is determined by adding (i) with respect to any Event of Default under Section 5.4(a), ten percent (10.0%) per annum to the Interest Rate then in effect for the Loans and (ii) with respect to any other Event of Default, two percent (2%) per annum to the Interest Rate then in effect for the Loans. Such interest shall be payable in cash on demand.

(c) Upon prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment of any principal of the Loans at any time (including, for the avoidance of doubt, before, after and on the date of the First Amortization Date but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Loans paid in full on the Maturity Date) In Connection with a Change in Control, Borrower shall pay to the Secured Parties the CoC Fee (in addition to any principal Obligations required to be paid pursuant to Section 5.3 and any applicable Non-Callable Make Whole Amount due pursuant to Section 2.3(c)) based on their Pro Rata Share of the principal of the Loans on the date of such prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment of such Loans; provided however that if such prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment is In Connection with a Change in Control but prior to the consummation of the Change in Control, the CoC Fee shall be due and payable contemporaneously with the consummation of a Change in Control. The CoC Fee shall be non-refundable upon receiving payment thereof. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, in light of the impracticality and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages occurring In Connection with a Change in Control, the CoC Fee is intended to be a reasonable calculation of the actual damages that would be suffered by the Secured Parties as a result of any such prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that the CoC Fee is not intended to act as a penalty or to punish the Borrower for any such prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment.

As of their respective dates, each of the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act (as applicable) applicable to the SEC Documents. None of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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 were made, not misleading.

The accounting firm that expressed its opinion with respect to the consolidated financial statements included in the Borrower’s most recently filed annual report on 10-K, and reviewed the consolidated financial statements included in the Borrower’s most recently filed quarterly report on 10-Q, was independent of the Borrower pursuant to the standards set forth in Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC and as required by the applicable rules and guidance from the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), and such firm was otherwise qualified to render such opinion under Applicable Law and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Since December 31, 2016, there has been no Material Adverse Effect or any event or circumstance which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All financial performance projections delivered to any Secured Party, including the financial performance projections delivered on or prior to the Agreement Date, if any, represent the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ good faith estimate of future financial performance and are based on assumptions believed by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to be fair and reasonable in light of current market conditions, it being acknowledged and agreed by Agent and the Lenders that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections may differ from the projected results and such differences may be material.

The Borrower and its Subsidiaries maintain disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act; such controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the reports that they file with or submit to the SEC (A) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (B) is accumulated and communicated to the Borrower’s (and, to the extent applicable, its Subsidiaries’) management, including its or their principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries maintain internal control (including Internal Controls) over financial reporting required by Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act; such internal control (including Internal Controls) over financial reporting is effective and does not contain any material weaknesses.

Subject to the foregoing, no Loan Party shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by any Loan Document or disclosing the name of any Secured Party; provided , however , that the Borrower shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Secured Party, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the Announcing Form 8-K and contemporaneously therewith and (ii) as is required by Applicable Law and regulations ( provided that each Secured Party shall be consulted by the Borrower in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release and shall be provided with a copy thereof other than filings required by the Exchange Act to be made with the SEC, which Borrower may make without such consultation or notice). From and after the Borrower’s filing of the Announcing Form 8-K, no Secured Party shall be in possession of any material nonpublic information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, representatives or agents. Notwithstanding any other requirement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Loan Party shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and its and each of their respective officers, directors, employees. Attorneys, representatives and agents to not, provide any Secured Party with any material nonpublic information regarding the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates from and after the filing of the Announcing Form 8-K with the SEC without the express prior written consent of such Secured Party. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Secured Party (nor any of such Secured Party’s Affiliates) shall have any duty of trust or confidence with respect to any material nonpublic information regarding the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates provided by, or on behalf of, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, representatives or agents, in violation of the foregoing covenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that any Loan Party believes that a notice or communication to any Secured Party contains material, nonpublic information relating to any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of their respective property or Stock, the Borrower shall so indicate to the Secured Parties contemporaneously with delivery of such notice or communication, and such indication shall provide the Secured Parties the means to refuse to receive such notice or communication; and in the absence of any such indication, the holders of the Securities shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice or communication do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of their respective property or Stock. Upon receipt or delivery by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any notice in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, unless the Borrower has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or their respective property or Stock, the Loan Parties shall, within one Business Day after any such receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information. In the event of a breach of any of the foregoing covenants by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees, attorneys, representatives or agents, in addition to any other remedies provided in the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in

 

63


equity, the Secured Parties shall have the right to make a public disclosure in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of the applicable material nonpublic information regarding the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates without the prior approval by any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees, attorneys, representatives or agents, and no Secured Party shall have any liability to any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees, equityholders, attorneys, representatives or agents for any such disclosure.

(r) The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by a holder thereof in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan, financing or Indebtedness secured by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities under the Loan Documents, and no such holder effecting any such pledge of Securities shall be required to provide any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document. The Borrower hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by a holder of Securities.

(s) During the Reporting Period, except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall not in any manner issue or sell any Options or Convertible Securities that are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock at a price that varies or may vary with the market price of the Common Stock, including by way of one or more resets to a fixed price or increases in the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable, or at a price that upon the passage of time or the occurrence of certain events automatically is reduced or is adjusted or at the option of any Person may be reduced or adjusted, whether or not based on a formulation of the then current market price of the Common Stock (other than proportional adjustments as a result of subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock in the form of stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, combinations or recapitalizations). For the avoidance of doubt, this clause (s) does not prohibit any convertible notes contemplated under clause (k) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” with a fixed conversion rate subject to anti-dilution adjustments or other provisions related to the conversion price and/or conversion rate that are broadly similar to the analogous provisions in the 2.25% Convertible Note Documents or the 3.25% Convertible Note Documents or any Permitted 3.25% Convertible Note Refinancing permitted hereunder.

(t) Within five Business Days after the filing of its 10-K or 10-Q, as the case may be, the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries shall deliver to Agent an updated Perfection Certificate.

(u) The Borrower shall, and shall cause each Loan Party to, obtain all Regulatory Required Permits necessary for compliance in all material respects with Applicable Laws with respect to testing, manufacturing, developing, selling or marketing of Products and shall, and shall cause each Loan Party to, maintain and comply fully and completely in all respects with all such Regulatory Required Permits, the noncompliance with which could have a Material Adverse Effect.

(v) Each Loan Party will comply, and cause each Subsidiary to comply, with the requirements of all Applicable Laws and Material Contracts, except to the extent that failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to (a) have a Material Adverse Effect, or (b) result in any Lien upon either (i) a material portion of the assets of any such Person in favor of any Governmental Authority, or (ii) any Collateral (other than Permitted Liens).

 

64


(w) With respect to the ABL Debt Documents, to the extent any of the ABL Lenders (or their Affiliates) are not the Agent under this Agreement (but regardless for purpose of the Convertible Note Documents), the Borrower shall, within two Business Days after delivery by a Loan Party or receipt or knowledge thereof, provide written notice to Agent of any default or event of default under any of the ABL Debt Documents or any of the Convertible Note Documents, and of any amendments, restatements, supplements, waivers or other modifications to (or any consents to any events or actions under) any of the ABL Debt Documents or any of the Convertible Note Documents or any prepayment of any of the Indebtedness thereunder.

(x) Until the requirements in clause 4 (with respect to TriVascular Sales LLC) and clause 6 (with respect to RMS/Endologix Sideways Merger Corp.) of Schedule 5.1(y) (and Section 5.1(y)) are satisfied, such applicable Subsidiary shall at all times remain an Immaterial Subsidiary.

(y) Each Loan Party shall execute and deliver the documents and complete the tasks and other actions set forth on Schedule 5.1(y) , in each case, within the time limits specified therein (or such longer period agreed to by Agent in its sole discretion).

76


under on such Loan Party’s behalf) any agreement, document or instrument that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes and/or effectuate the items and actions set forth in this Agreement, the Warrants, and the other Loan Documents, in each case, (i) that any such Loan Party fails to take that are required under such documents, agreements or instruments, (ii) during the existence of any Event of Default, or (iii) in delivering the original shares of Common Stock to be issued under any Warrants to the applicable holder thereof upon such holder exercising its rights pursuant to the terms of such Warrants.

Each Party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such Party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

Any Lender may assign or transfer its rights or Obligations under the Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee, so long as (a) with respect to any assignment to a Person mentioned in clause (d) of the definition of “Eligible Assignee”, the amount of such assignment is for Loans in an aggregate principal amount not less than $5,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining principal amount of Loans held by such Lender); provided that such threshold amount shall be aggregated between such Persons that are assignees mentioned in such clause (d) of the definition of “Eligible Assignee” that are Affiliates of each other.

80


In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 6.5, each Secured Party may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under the Loan Documents, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Secured Party’s Indebtedness or equity securities; provided however that no such security interest or assignment shall release such Secured Party from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such holder of a security interest or assignee for such Secured Party as a party hereto.

Section 6.6 Entire Agreement; Amendments .

(a) The Loan Documents contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the matters covered thereby and supersede any and all other written and oral communications, negotiations, commitments and writings with respect thereto.

(b) No amendment, restatement, modification, supplement, change, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (other than the Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement, any Control Agreement or any similar agreement or any landlord agreement or bailee or mortgagee waiver, each of which may be amended, changed or waived in accordance with the terms thereof), and no consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Borrower, the Agent and the Required Lenders; provided that no such amendment, restatement, modification, change, termination, waiver or consent to this Agreement shall, without the consent of each Lender with Obligations directly and adversely affected thereby, do any of the following: (i) reduce any Loan of such Lender; (ii) postpone the Maturity Date or other scheduled final maturity date of any Loan of such Lender, or postpone the date or reduce the amount of any scheduled payment (but not mandatory prepayment) of principal of any Loan of such Lender; (iii) decrease the interest rate borne by any Loan of such Lender (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.7(b)) or the amount of any premium or fees payable hereunder; or (iv) amend this proviso of this Section 6.6 to the extent providing for consent by all directly and adversely affected Lenders in a manner to remove such consent.

(c) No consideration shall be offered or paid (in any form, whether cash, Stock, other property or otherwise) to any Secured Party to amend, restate, supplement, modify or change or consent to a waiver of (or a diversion from) any provision of any of the Loan Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the Lenders under the Loan Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Lender and is not intended for the Borrower or any other Loan Party to treat the Lenders as a class and shall not be construed in any way as the Lenders acting in concert or otherwise as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of securities or Stock or otherwise.

Section 6.7 Severability . If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 6.8 Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and by each Party on separate counterparts, each of which and any photocopies, facsimile copies and other electronic methods of transmission thereof shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(b) All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof (and, with respect to Section 3.1(g)(i)(B), the first two sentences of Section 3.1(i), Section 3.1 (y), Section 3.1 (z)(A) and (C), Section 3.1(ee), the first sentence of Section 3.1(mm), Section 3.1(nn), Section 3.1(oo), Section 3.1(rr), Section 3.1(ss) and Section 3.1 (tt), shall continue to be made in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, including at all times after the execution and delivery hereof and thereof). Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Secured Parties, regardless of any investigation made by the Secured Parties or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as either (i) any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain outstanding, unpaid or unsatisfied or (ii) the Maturity Date has not occurred. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, the obligations of the Loan Parties under Section 2.5 and the obligations of the Loan Parties and the Lenders under this Article 6 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and the other Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Warrants or the termination of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any provision hereof or thereof. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Documents, (a) the making of the representations and warranties herein or in any other Loan Document that relate to the Warrants or any securities laws shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and any other Obligations until such time that Warrants are fully and completely paid, performed, extinguished and terminated in accordance with their terms, (b) all rights set forth in the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement and all transactions contemplated thereby (other than this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to provisions that are not mentioned herein or therein to survive the payment in full of the Loans) shall continue to, and at all times, exist until (i) with respect to the Warrants, such Warrants are fully and completely paid, performed, extinguished and terminated in accordance with their terms and (ii) with respect to the Registration Rights Agreement, such Registration Rights Agreement is fully and completely terminated in accordance with its terms, (c) Sections 5.1(h), (p) and (s) and Section 5.2(xvii) will survive until the end of the Reporting Period, but all other affirmative and negative covenants, events of default, fees, penalties and other provisions not expressly surviving pursuant to this Section 6.9 shall terminate upon the payment in full of the Obligations (not including unasserted contingent indemnification obligations or any Obligations in respect of the Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement or any Stock) and (d) all Liens granted on the Collateral under any Loan Document shall remain in effect and shall continue to secure the Obligations (but not including any Obligations in respect of the Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement or any Stock) under the Loan Documents (x) until all of the Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and other than any Obligations under the Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement and any Stock in connection therewith) have been paid in full in cash in accordance with such Loan Documents and (y) other than Liens on any Collateral disposed of in a Permitted Disposition or

 

82


as otherwise agreed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such greater percentage of Lenders required pursuant to Section 6.6) (but such release shall only be for the Liens on such Collateral so disposed in a Permitted Disposition or as may be agreed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such greater percentage of Lenders required pursuant to Section 6.6)).

(c) Upon payment in full of all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and other than any Obligations in connection with the Warrants, the Stock underlying such Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement) in cash in accordance with the Loan Documents, subject to the second sentence of Section 6.22, all Collateral shall be automatically released from the Liens created by the Security Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise and all rights of the Secured Parties in the Collateral shall automatically terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or any additional performance by any Person.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Agent is hereby unconditionally authorized and instructed by each Secured Party (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Secured Party) to take any action to release or terminate any Lien granted under the Loan Documents to secure the Obligations in the Collateral (it being understood and agreed that no security interest is granted under any Loan Document or otherwise in any Obligations, in each case, in respect of (and only in respect of) the Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement or any underlying Stock in connection therewith) upon (i) payment in full of all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and other than the Obligations under the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement and any Stock) in cash in accordance with the Loan Documents, (ii) a written agreement by the requisite number of Lenders required by Section 6.6 and (iii) a Permitted Disposition (but solely in the Collateral so disposed of in a Permitted Disposition and not in any other property or assets).

(e) In each case in accordance with this Section 6.9 whereby a Lien on all or a portion of the Collateral is released, the Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of (i) all Collateral from the Liens granted under the Loan Documents upon payment in full of all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and other than the Obligations under the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement and any Stock) in cash in accordance with the Loan Documents, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 6.9, (ii) Collateral permitted to be sold pursuant to clause (d)(ii) of this Section 6.9 (but solely in such Collateral) and (iii) the Liens on that Collateral sold pursuant to a Permitted Disposition (but solely in such Collateral sold pursuant to such Permitted Disposition).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents and for the avoidance of doubt, the holders of the Warrants and parties to the Registration Rights Agreement shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies available to them under law and at equity and under the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement for any breaches of provisions that survive the payment in full of the Obligations (other than the payment in full of unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and other than Obligations under the Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement and any Stock).

Section 6.10 No Waiver . Neither the failure of, nor any delay on the part of, any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein or under any other Loan Document, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, under any other Loan Document or under any other agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege; nor shall any waiver of any right, power, privilege or default

 

83


hereunder, under any other Loan Document or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, constitute a waiver of any other right, power, privilege or default or constitute a waiver of any default of the same or of any other term or provision. No course of dealing and no delay in exercising, or omission to exercise, any right, power or remedy accruing to Agent or the Lenders upon any breach, Default or Event of Default under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein; nor shall the action of Agent or the Lenders in respect of any such breach, Default or Event of Default or any acquiescence by it therein, affect or impair any right, power or remedy of Agent or the Lenders in respect of any other breach, Default or any Event of Default. All rights and remedies herein or in the other Loan Documents provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise provided by (or available at) law or in equity.

Section 6.11 Indemnity .

(a) The Loan Parties shall, at all times, indemnify and hold harmless (the “ Indemnity ”) the Secured Parties and each of their respective directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”) in connection with any losses, claims (including the reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in defending against such claims), damages, liabilities, penalties or other expenses arising out of, or relating to, the Loan Documents, the extension of credit hereunder or the Loan or the other Obligations or the use or intended use of the Loan or the other Obligations, which an Indemnified Person may incur or to which an Indemnified Person may become subject (each, a “ Loss ”). The Indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court or arbitral tribunal of competent jurisdiction issues a final non-appealable judgment that such Loss of an Indemnified Person resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. The Indemnity is independent of and in addition to any other agreement of any Party under any Loan Document to pay any amount to the Secured Parties, and any exclusion of any obligation to pay any amount under this Section 6.11(a) shall not affect the requirement to pay such amount under any other section hereof or under any other agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.11 shall not apply to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b) An Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own legal counsel with the fees, costs and expenses of such legal counsel and of such Indemnified Person to be paid by the indemnifying Person. The indemnification required by this Section 6.11 shall be made and paid by such indemnifying Person within ten (10) Business Days of written demand by such Indemnified Person.

(c) No settlement of any Loss shall be entered into by such indemnifying Person without the written consent of the applicable Indemnified Person.

(d) No Loan Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries, assert, and each Loan Party on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby waives, any claim, loss or amount against any Indemnified Person with respect to any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any undertaking or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 6.12 No Usury . The Loan Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Agent or the Lenders for the Loan or the other Obligations exceed the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law. If from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any

provision hereof or any other Loan Document, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto , the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance Agent or the Lenders shall ever receive anything which might be deemed interest under Applicable Law, that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be deemed excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Loan or the other Obligations, or if such deemed excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Loan or the other Obligations, such deemed excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan or the other Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be deemed to be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loan and the other Obligations until payment in full so that the deemed rate of interest on account of the Loan and the other Obligations is uniform throughout the term thereof. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control and supersede every other provision of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents.

Section 6.13 Specific Performance . The Loan Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of the Loan Documents is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the Loan Parties hereto fail to take any action required of them hereunder or thereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. In light of the foregoing, the Loan Parties hereby agree that, until all Obligations have been paid in full in accordance with the Loan Documents, (a) the Secured Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of the Loan Documents and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof in the courts described in Section 6.4 without proof of damages or otherwise and (b) the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and without that right, the Secured Parties would not have entered into the Loan Documents or have provided Loans or Disbursements hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The Loan Parties hereby agree not to assert (or have any of their Subsidiaries or their attorneys, agents or representatives assert or any other Person on their behalf to assert) that a remedy of specific performance or other equitable relief is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Applicable Law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that any Secured Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of, or defaults under, the Loan Documents, to prevent any Default or Event of Default and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents in accordance with this Section 6.13 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction or other order or proceeding. The remedies available to the Secured Parties pursuant to this Section 6.13 shall be in addition to any other remedy which may be available under the Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise.

Section 6.14 Further Assurances . From time to time, the Loan Parties shall perform any and all acts and execute and deliver to Agent and the Lenders such additional documents, agreements and instruments as may be reasonably requested by Agent or any of the Lenders to carry out the purposes of any Loan Document or to preserve and protect Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights as contemplated therein.

Section 6.15 Agent .

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Deerfield Private Design Fund IV, L.P. (together with any successor Agent appointed by Deerfield Private Design Fund IV, L.P. or any successor Agent that was appointed by the Lenders or any prior Agent) as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Agent to (i) execute and deliver the Loan Documents and accept delivery thereof on its behalf from any Loan Party, (ii) take such other actions on its behalf and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies and perform the duties as are expressly delegated to Agent under the Loan Documents and

 

85


(iii) exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in other Loan Documents with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) None of Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, attorneys, advisors, representatives or agents shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the Transactions or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or Affiliate of any Loan Party, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations (including the Obligations) hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Loan Party’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

(d) Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, electronic mail message, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, shall receive confirmation from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify Agent against any and all liabilities and expenses (including any fees and expenses of counsel to Agent) which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon each Lender.

 

86


(e) Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or any Loan Party referring to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, describing such Event of Default or Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Default as may be requested by the Lenders; provided that unless and until the Agent has received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of itself and the Lenders.

(f) Each Lender acknowledges that Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and the other Loan Parties, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary or appropriate to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Loan Party which may come into the possession of Agent.

(g) Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand Agent and its directors, officers, partners, employees, attorneys, advisors, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), according to its applicable Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all losses, claims (including the reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in defending against such claims), damages, liabilities, penalties or other expenses arising out of, or relating to, any of Agent’s duties, responsibilities or actions set forth in or that taken pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any payment to any such Person of any portion of the foregoing to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the applicable Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No action taken in accordance with the directions of the Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 6.15(g). Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such fees, costs and expenses by or on behalf of the Loan Parties. The undertaking in this Section 6.15(g) shall survive repayment of the Loans and the other Obligations, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Loan Documents, termination of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

 

87


(h) Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Agent for such successor Agent and the Lenders. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, a successor Agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 16.15 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.

Section 6.16 USA Patriot Act . Each Lender that is subject to the USA Patriot Act (and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender)) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

Section 6.17 Placement Agent . The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall be solely responsible for the payment of any fees, costs, expenses and commissions of any placement agent, broker or financial adviser relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall pay, and hold each of the Secured Parties harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) arising in connection with any claim for any such payment.

Section 6.18 No Fiduciary Relationship . No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between the Secured Parties and the Loan Parties by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

Section 6.19 Joint and Several . The obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are joint and several. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reference is hereby made to Sections 2, 4 and 8.3 of the Security Agreement, to which the obligations of the Loan Parties are subject.

Section 6.20 No Third Parties Benefited . This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Loan Parties and the Secured Parties party hereto (and the indemnitees mentioned herein), and their successors and permitted assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to any Person not a party to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 6.21 Binding Effect . This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each of the Loan Parties party hereto, each Lender party hereto and Agent and such executed counterparts have been delivered to Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, each Loan Party party hereto and each Secured Party party thereto and the indemnitees mentioned herein and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

88


Section 6.22 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside . No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any Obligation. To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from the Borrower, from any other Loan Party, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.

Section 6.23 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies . No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Loan Document, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. No course of dealing between any Loan Party, any Affiliate of any Loan Party or any Secured Party shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of any of the Loan Documents.

Section 6.24 Right of Setoff . Each Secured Party and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by each Loan Party), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by any Secured Party or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any Obligation of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was made under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured. No Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff without the prior consent of Agent. Each Secured Party agrees promptly to notify Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Secured Party or its Affiliates. The rights under this Section 6.24 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that any Secured Party or any of its Affiliates may have.

Section 6.25 Independent Nature of Secured Parties . The obligations of each Secured Party under the Loan Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Secured Party, and no Secured Party shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Secured Party under the Loan Documents. Each Secured Party shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants under the Loan Documents. The decision of each Lender to acquire the Securities pursuant to the Loan Documents has been made by such Lender independently of any other Lender and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any other Secured Party or by any agent, attorney, advisor, representative or employee of any other Secured Party, and no Secured Party or any of its agents, attorneys, advisors, representatives or employees shall have any liability to any other Secured Party (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained in the Loan Documents, and no action taken by any Secured Party pursuant hereto or thereto (including a Lender’s acquisition of Obligations, Notes or Warrants at the same time as any other Secured Party), shall be deemed to constitute the Secured Parties as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Secured Parties are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such Obligations or the transactions contemplated by any of the Loan Documents. Each Secured Party shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of the Loan Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Secured Party to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

 

89


Section 6.26 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender, directly or through any of its Affiliates, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Loan Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) (and other than pursuant to Section 6.5) and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Lenders such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Lenders to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been applied in accordance with this Agreement; provided , however , that (i) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender without interest and (ii) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the applicable Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

Section  6.27 Confidentiality .

(a) Each of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any Secured Party or any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Loan Parties and their obligations, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or payments hereunder or thereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates, (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 6.27(a) or (y) becomes available to any Secured Party or any of its Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, or (j) as provided in Section 5.1(q). In addition, the Secured Parties may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Secured Parties in connection with the administration of the Loans and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party relating to the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any Subsidiary; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the date

 

90


hereof, such Information is both (y) clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential and (z) provided to the Secured Parties at a time when the Secured Parties have requested in writing to receive material nonpublic information. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 6.27 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(c) The Loan Parties and their Affiliates agree that they will not issue any press release announcing the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the Agent, unless (and only to the extent that) the Loan Parties or such Affiliate is required to do so under Applicable Law and, in any event the Loan Parties and their Affiliates will provide the Agent with a copy of, and consult with the Agent before issuing, any such press release or other public disclosure with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and will consider in good faith any comments of the Agent.

Section 6.28 Intercreditor Agreement .

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document: (a) the Liens granted to the Agent in favor of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Loan Documents and the exercise of any right related to any Collateral shall be subject, in each case, to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) in the event of any conflict between the express terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, on the one hand, and of the Intercreditor Agreement, on the other hand, the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, shall control, (c) any Collateral held by (or in the possession or control of) the ABL Agent (or its agents or bailees) shall be held as agent and bailee for security, Lien perfection and control purposes in favor of Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Loan Documents, and (d) each Lender (and, by its acceptance of the benefits of any Loan Document, each other Secured Party) hereunder authorizes and instructs Agent to execute the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Lender, and such Lender agrees to be bound by the terms thereof.

(b) Each Lender (and, by its acceptance of the benefits of any Loan Document, each other Secured Party) hereunder authorizes and instructs the Agent, as Agent and on behalf of such Lender or other Secured Party, to enter into one or more intercreditor agreements (including any Intercreditor Agreement) from time to time pursuant to, or as contemplated by, the terms of this Agreement and agrees that it will be bound by the terms and provisions thereof and will take no actions contrary to the terms and provisions thereof.

Warrant to Purchase shares

   Warrant Number:                

Warrant to Purchase Common Stock

of

Endologix, Inc.

THIS CERTIFIES that                      or any subsequent holder hereof (“Holder”) has the right to purchase from Endologix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),                      (                ) fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), subject to adjustment as provided herein, at a price equal to the Exercise Price (as defined in Section 3 below), at any time during the Term (as defined in Section 1 below).

Holder agrees with the Company that this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock of the Company (this “Warrant” or this “Agreement”) is issued and all rights hereunder shall be held subject to all of the conditions, limitations and provisions set forth herein.

1. Date of Issuance and Term .

This Warrant shall be deemed to be issued on                      (“Date of Issuance”). The term of this Warrant begins on the Date of Issuance and ends at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is seven (7) years after the Date of Issuance (the “Term”). This Warrant was issued pursuant to that certain Facility Agreement (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise

 


modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Facility Agreement”) by and among the Company and Deerfield Private Design Fund III, L.P., Deerfield Private Design Fund IV, L.P., Deerfield Partners, L.P. and Deerfield International Master Fund, L.P., dated as of April 3, 2017, and in conjunction with that certain Registration Rights Agreement (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Registration Rights Agreement”) by and among the Company and Deerfield Private Design Fund III, L.P., Deerfield Private Design Fund IV, L.P., Deerfield Partners, L.P. and Deerfield International Master Fund, L.P., dated as of April 3, 2017.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not issue to Holder, and Holder may not acquire, a number of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant to the extent that, upon such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (including shares held by any “group” of which Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein), would exceed 4.985% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “4.985% Cap”); provided, however, that the 4.985% Cap shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and the percentage held by Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

For purposes hereof:

“Affiliate” means any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). With respect to a Holder, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by the same investment manager as such Holder shall, for purposes hereof, be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Holder.

“Asset Sale” means a transaction covered by the provisions of clause (B) of the definition of “Major Transaction” involving the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Facility Agreement), taken as a whole) in connection with which the Company has announced its intention to liquidate and distribute its assets to stockholders.

“Black-Scholes Value” shall mean the Black-Scholes value of this Warrant, or applicable portion thereof, as determined by use of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model using the criteria set forth on Schedule 1 hereto.

 

3


“Business Day” means a day other than a Saturday or Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law to close in New York City.

“Cashless Default Exercise” shall mean an exercise of this Warrant as a “Cashless Default Exercise” in accordance with Sections 3(c) and 11(b) hereof.

“Cashless Major Exercise” shall mean an exercise of this Warrant or portion thereof as a “Cashless Major Exercise” in accordance with Sections 3(b) and 5(b)(i) hereof.

“Cash Out Major Transaction” means a Major Transaction in which the consideration payable to holders of Common Stock in connection with the Major Transaction consists solely of cash.

“Eligible Market” means the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NYSE MKT or, in each case, any successor thereto.

“Parent Entity” of a Person means an entity that, directly or indirectly, controls the applicable Person and whose common stock or equivalent equity security is quoted or listed on an Eligible Market, or, if there is more than one such Person or Parent Entity, the Person or Parent Entity with the largest public market capitalization as of the date of consummation of a Major Transaction.

“Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and a government or any department or agency thereof.

“Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period for equity trades effected on securities exchanges in the United States, expressed in a number of Trading Days, as in effect on the applicable Date of Exercise (as defined in Section 2(b)).

“Successor Entity” means any Person purchasing the Company’s assets or Common Stock, or any successor entity resulting from such Major Transaction, or if the Warrant is to be exercisable for shares of capital stock of a Parent Entity (as defined above), such Person’s Parent Entity.

“Successor Major Transaction” means either a Takeout Major Transaction or an Asset Sale.

“Successor Major Transaction Consideration” means (i) in the case of a Takeout Major Transaction (other than a Cash Out Major Transaction), the amount of cash and other assets and the number of securities or other property of the Successor Entity or other entity that would be issuable in such Major Transaction, in respect of a number of shares equal to the Successor Major Transaction Conversion Share Amount and (ii) in the case of an Asset Sale or a Cash Out Major Transaction, an amount of cash equal to the Black-Scholes Value of the Warrant.

“Successor Major Transaction Conversion Share Amount” means an amount equal to the Black-Scholes Value of the Warrant (or such applicable portion subject to a Successor Major Transaction Conversion), divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the applicable Major Transaction is consummated.

 

4


“Takeout Major Transaction” means a transaction covered by the provisions of clause (A) of the definition of “Major Transaction” in which the shares of Common Stock of the Company are converted into the right to receive cash, securities of another entity and/or other assets.

“Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded for any period on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NasdaqGS”) or, if the NasdaqGS is not the principal trading market for the Common Stock, on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded; provided, however, that during any period in which the Common Stock is not listed or quoted on the NasdaqGS or any other securities exchange or market, the term “Trading Day” shall mean a Business Day.

2. Exercise .

(a) Manner of Exercise . During the Term (or, in respect of a Cashless Major Exercise, the Cashless Major Exercise Period (as defined below)), this Warrant may be Exercised as to all or any lesser number of whole shares of Common Stock covered hereby (the “Warrant Shares” or the “Shares”) by sending to the Company the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit  A-1 (the “Exercise Form”) duly completed and executed, and, if applicable, the full Exercise Price (as defined below, which may be satisfied by a Cash Exercise, a Cashless Exercise or a Note Exchange Exercise, as each is defined below) for each share of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is Exercised, at the office of the Company, 2 Musick, Irvine, CA 92618, Attention: Chief Financial Officer; Phone: (949) 595-7200, Email: vmahboob@endologix.com, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing, by overnight mail or electronic mail (any such exercise of the Warrant being hereinafter called an “Exercise” of this Warrant).

(b) Date of Exercise . The “Date of Exercise” of the Warrant shall, in each case, be the date that the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit  A-1 , completed and executed, is sent by electronic mail to the Company, provided that the Exercise Price is satisfied as soon as practicable thereafter but in no event later than two (2) Business Days following the date of such electronic mail. Alternatively, the Date of Exercise shall be defined as the date the original Exercise Form is received by the Company, if Holder has not previously sent the Exercise Form by electronic mail. Upon delivery of the Exercise Form to the Company by electronic mail or otherwise, Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been Exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to Holder’s or its designee’s Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be; provided, however, that in the event an Exercise Form in respect of a Cashless Major Exercise is delivered prior to the occurrence of the applicable Major Transaction, Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction and the Date of Exercise shall in such event be deemed to have occurred on the date of the occurrence of the Major Transaction. Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days following the date the final Exercise Form is delivered to the Company. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Form with respect to a partial Exercise shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

 

5


(c) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Exercise . Within the earlier of (x) three (3) Trading Days and (y) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after any Date of Exercise (but, in the case of a Cash Exercise, within two (2) Business Days following the Company’s receipt of the full Exercise Price, if later) or in the case of a Cashless Default Exercise (as defined in Section 5(b) below), within the period provided in Section 3(c), as applicable (the “Delivery Period”), the Company shall issue and deliver (or cause its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to issue and deliver) in accordance with the terms hereof to or upon the order of Holder that number of shares of Common Stock (“Exercise Shares”) for the portion of this Warrant exercised as shall be determined in accordance herewith. Upon the Exercise of this Warrant or any part hereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering an opinion of counsel, to assure that the Transfer Agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Holder (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by Holder and in such denominations as Holder shall specify at Exercise, representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Exercise. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the Transfer Agent and that, unless waived by Holder, this Warrant and the Exercise Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain or be subject to a legend (or be subject to any stop transfer instruction) restricting the resale or transferability of the Exercise Shares if the Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) are met.

The Company shall be responsible for paying all present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar taxes that arise from any payment or issuance made under, from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Warrant.

(d) Delivery Failure . In addition to any other remedies which may be available to Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Exercise Shares by the end of the Delivery Period (a “Delivery Failure”), Holder will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation, except that the Failure Payments under Section 10(b) shall be payable through the date such notice of revocation is given to the Company.

(e) Legends .

(i) Restrictive Legend . Holder understands that until such time as this Warrant, the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares (as defined below) have been registered under the Securities Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, this Warrant, the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order consistent therewith may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT INCLUDING PURSUANT TO SECTION 4(A)(7) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT OR PURSUANT TO A PRIVATE SALE EFFECTED UNDER APPLICABLE FORMAL OR INFORMAL SEC INTERPRETATION OR GUIDANCE, SUCH AS A SO-CALLED “4[(a)](1) AND A HALF” SALE.” NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

“THE SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF APRIL 3, 2017, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF ITS OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”

This Warrant and the certificates (or electronic book entries, if applicable) evidencing the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, shall not contain or be subject to any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in subsection 2(e)(i)) or be subject to any stop-transfer instructions: (A) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the sale or resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (B) following any sale of such Warrant, Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Warrant, Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), or (D) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date, or at such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions have been met, if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the issuance of this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, without a restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder. If any of the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, then such Warrant, Exercise Shares or Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, shall be issued free of all legends and stop-transfer instructions. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date, or at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(e), it will, no later than the earlier of (x) three (3) Trading Days and

 

7


(y) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following the delivery (the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Deadline”) by Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of this Warrant and a certificate representing Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to Holder this Warrant and/or a certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends (and stop transfer instructions). For purposes hereof, “Effective Date” shall mean the date that the first Registration Statement that the Company is required to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement has been declared effective by the SEC.

(iii) Sale of Unlegended Shares . Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from this Warrant and any certificates representing securities as set forth in Section 2(e) above is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that Holder will sell this Warrant or any Exercise Shares and/or any Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.

(f) Cancellation of Warrant . This Warrant shall be canceled upon the full Exercise of this Warrant, and, as soon as practical after the Date of Exercise, Holder shall be entitled to receive Common Stock for the number of shares purchased upon such Exercise of this Warrant, and if this Warrant is not Exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing terms identical to this Warrant) representing any unexercised portion of this Warrant in addition to such Common Stock; provided, however, as set forth in Section 2(b), Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this warrant if the Warrant is not Exercised in full.

(g) Holder of Record . Each person in whose name any Warrant for shares of Common Stock is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be Holder of record of such shares on the Date of Exercise, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Common Stock purchased upon the Exercise of this Warrant. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon Holder any rights as a stockholder of the Company.

(h) Delivery of Electronic Shares . In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise or legend removal, or representing Failure Payment Shares, upon written request of Holder, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Transfer Agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise to Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system. The time periods for delivery and penalties described herein shall apply to the electronic transmittals described herein. Any delivery not effected by electronic transmission shall be effected by delivery of physical certificates.

(i) Buy-In . In addition to any other rights or remedies available to Holder hereunder or otherwise at law or in equity, if the Company fails to cause its Transfer Agent to deliver to Holder a certificate or certificates, or electronic shares through DWAC, representing the Exercise Shares pursuant to an Exercise on or before the last day of the Delivery Period (other than a failure caused by any incorrect or incomplete information provided by Holder to the Company hereunder), and if after such date Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or

 

8


otherwise) or Holder or Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by Holder of the Exercise Shares which Holder was entitled to receive upon such Exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to Holder the amount by which (x) Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Exercise Shares that the Company was required to deliver to Holder in connection with the Exercise at issue by (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Exercise Shares for which such Exercise was not honored (and refund the Exercise Price therefor, to the extent paid by Holder, and/or reinstate the principal amount of any indebtedness used to satisfy the applicable Exercise Price) or deliver to Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its Exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted Exercise to cover the sale of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay Holder $1,000. Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon Exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(j) HSR Submissions. If Holder determines that, in connection with the exercise of this Warrant, it and the Company are required to file Premerger Notification Reports with the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and observe the Waiting Period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the related rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “HSR Act”), the Company agrees to (i) cooperate with Holder in Holder’s preparing and making such submission and any responses to inquiries of the FTC and DOJ; (ii) prepare and make any submission required to be filed by the Company under the HSR Act and respond to inquiries of the FTC and DOJ in connection therewith; and (iii) reimburse Holder for the cost of the required filing fee for Holder’s submission under the HSR Act. For the avoidance of doubt, Holder shall bear all of its other costs and expenses in connection with such submission, including any attorneys’ fees associated therewith.

3. Payment of Warrant Exercise Price for Cash Exercise or Cashless Exercise; Cashless Major Exercise and Cashless Default Exercise .

(a) Exercise Price . The exercise price shall initially equal $                     per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms hereof (as so adjusted, the “Exercise Price”), including but not limited to Section 5 below.

Payment of the Exercise Price may be made by either of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of Holder:

 

9


(i) Cash Exercise : Holder may exercise this Warrant in cash, bank or cashier’s check or wire transfer (a “Cash Exercise”);

(ii) Cashless Exercise : In lieu of paying all or any portion of the Exercise Price in cash, Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant (in whole or in part) on a cashless basis by making appropriate notation on the applicable Exercise Form, in which event the Company shall issue Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

X = Y (A-B)/A

where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.

Y = the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is being Exercised.

A = the Market Price of one (1) share of Common Stock (for purposes of this Section 3(a)(ii), where “Market Price,” as of any date, means the Volume Weighted Average Price (as defined herein) of the Company’s Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the Date of Exercise or other date in question, as applicable.

B = the Exercise Price.

As used herein, the “Volume Weighted Average Price” for any security as of any date means the volume weighted average sale price on the NasdaqGS as reported by, or based upon data reported by, Bloomberg Financial Markets or an equivalent, reliable reporting service mutually acceptable to and hereafter designated by holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants and the Company (“Bloomberg”) or, if the NasdaqGS is not the principal trading market for such security, the volume weighted average sale price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no volume weighted average sale price is reported for such security, then the last closing trade price of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no last closing trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the OTCQX Market, the OTCQB Market or on the “pink” market of OTC Markets Group Inc. If the Volume Weighted Average Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the volume weighted average price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants being Exercised for which the calculation of the volume weighted average price is required in order to determine the Exercise Price of such Warrants.

(iii) Note Exchange Exercise : In lieu of paying all or any portion of the Exercise Price in cash, Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant (in whole or in part) through a reduction of an amount of principal outstanding under any Notes in accordance with Section 2.3(b) of the Facility Agreement, then held by Holder (a “Note Exchange Exercise”)

 

10


For purposes of Rule 144 and subsection (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction or a Note Exchange Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired at the time this Warrant was issued (in the case of a Cashless Exercise) or at the time the applicable Note was issued (in the case of a Note Exchange Exercise). Moreover, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the holding period for the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction or a Note Exchange Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have commenced on the date this Warrant was issued (in the case of a Cashless Exercise) or on the date the applicable Note was issued (in the case of a Note Exchange Exercise). As provided in Section 2(b), Holder shall only be required to physically surrender this Warrant in the event that Holder is exercising this Warrant in full.

(b) Cashless Major Exercise. To the extent Holder shall exercise this Warrant as a Cashless Major Exercise pursuant to Section 5(b)(i) and 5(b)(iii) below, Holder shall send to the Company (in any manner permitted under Section 2(a)) the Exercise Form indicating that Holder is exercising this Warrant (or any portion thereof) pursuant to a Cashless Major Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Black-Scholes Value of the Warrant (or such applicable portion being exercised) divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the applicable Major Transaction is consummated, or, if in respect of a Cashless Major Exercise made after the date of consummation of the applicable Major Transaction, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the exercise form in respect of such Cashless Major Exercise is delivered. As provided in Section 2(b), Holder shall only be required to physically surrender this Warrant in the event that Holder is exercising this Warrant in full. Holder shall be permitted to make successive Cashless Major Exercises and send successive Exercise Forms in respect of a Cashless Major Exercise from time to time at any time during the Cashless Major Exercise Period.

(c) Cashless Default Exercise . To the extent Holder exercises this Warrant as a Cashless Default Exercise pursuant to Section 11(b)(i) below, Holder shall send to the Company (in any manner permitted under Section 2(a)) the Exercise Form indicating that Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a Cashless Default Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder, within five (5) Trading Days of the applicable Default Notice, a number of shares of Common Stock (which shares shall be valued at the closing price of the Common Stock on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Exercise Form in respect of such Cashless Default Exercise is delivered) equal to the Black-Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant (or such portion thereof subject to such exercise) as of the date of such Default Notice (or in the case of an Event of Default referred to in Section 11(a)(vi), on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date the dividend or distribution is declared or, if not first declared, is paid). As provided in Section 2(b), the Holder shall be permitted to make successive Cashless Default Exercises and send successive Exercise Forms in respect of a Cashless Default Exercise, from time to time at any time from and after the date of the applicable Default Notice through the Term of this Warrant.

 

11


(d) Dispute Resolution . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s Common Stock or the arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price or the Successor Major Transaction Consideration, or the number of shares issuable upon a Cashless Major Exercise, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via electronic mail within two (2) Business Days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the Exercise Form or Major Transaction Early Termination Notice, or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to Holder. If Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via electronic mail (i) the disputed determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s Common Stock to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by Holder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price, any Successor Major Transaction Consideration or number of shares issuable upon a Cashless Major Exercise to the Company’s independent, outside registered public accountants. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the investment bank or the accountants, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and Holder of the results no later than five (5) Trading Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountants’ determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error, and the Company and Holder shall each pay one half of the fees and costs of such investment banker or accountant. Notwithstanding the existence of a dispute contemplated by this paragraph, if requested by Holder, the Company shall issue to Holder the Exercise Shares not in dispute in accordance with the terms hereof.

4. Transfer and Registration .

(a) Transfer Rights . Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, in person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly completed and endorsed. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this Warrant transferred, and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to the portion hereof retained.

(b) Registrable Securities . The Common Stock issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant entitles Holder (and applicable assignees or transferees of such Common Stock) to registration and other rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

5. Adjustments Upon Certain Events .

(a) Recapitalization or Reclassification . If the Company shall at any time effect a stock split, payment of stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of such character that the shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock which Holder shall be entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant, shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock by reason of such stock split, payment of stock dividend,

 

12


recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction, and the Exercise Price shall be, in the case of an increase in the number of shares, proportionally decreased and, in the case of decrease in the number of shares, proportionally increased. The Company shall give Holder the same notice it provides to holders of Common Stock of any transaction described in this Section 5(a).

(b) Rights Upon Major Transaction .

(i) Major Transaction . In the event that a Major Transaction occurs, then (1) in the case of a Successor Major Transaction, Holder, at its option, may elect to cause the conversion of this Warrant (a “Successor Major Transaction Conversion”), in whole or in part, into the right to receive the Successor Major Transaction Consideration, upon consummation of the Major Transaction, and (2) in the case of all other Major Transactions, Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant (or any portion thereof), at any time and from time to time following the occurrence of such event, as a Cashless Major Exercise. In the event Holder shall not have exercised any of its rights under clauses (1) or (2) above within the applicable time periods set forth herein, then the Major Transaction shall be treated as an Assumption (as defined below) in accordance with Section 5(b)(ii) below unless Holder waives its rights under this Section 5(b) with respect to such Major Transaction. Each of the following events shall constitute a “Major Transaction”:

(A) a consolidation, merger, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, business combination or other similar event, (1) following which the holders of Common Stock immediately preceding such consolidation, merger, exchange, recapitalization, reorganization, combination or event either (a) no longer hold a majority of the shares of Common Stock or (b) no longer have the ability to elect a majority of the board of directors of the Company or (2) as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into (or the shares of Common Stock become entitled to receive) the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of stock or securities of the Company or another entity (collectively, a “Change of Control Transaction”);

(B) the sale or transfer, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of (I) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole) to any Person other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company or (II) assets of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole) for a purchase price equal to more than 50% of the Equity Value (as defined below) of the Company. For purposes of this clause (B), “Equity Value” shall mean (I) the product of (x) the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on the date the Company delivers the Major Transaction Notice (defined below) multiplied by (y) the per share closing price of the Common Stock on such date on the NasdaqGS as reported by, or based upon data reported by, Bloomberg or, if the NasdaqGS is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing sale price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg;

 

13


(C) a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, such that following such purchase, tender or exchange offer a Change of Control Transaction shall have occurred;

(D) the liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or winding-up (or the occurrence of any analogous proceeding) affecting the Company;

(E) the shares of Common Stock cease to be listed, traded or publicly quoted on the NasdaqGS and are not promptly re-listed or requoted on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Capital Market; or

(F) the Common Stock ceases to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

(ii) Assumption. Any assumption of Company obligations under this paragraph shall be referred to herein as an “Assumption.” Unless otherwise provided in writing by Holder, the Company shall not consummate a Major Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity or as a result of which the Company has a new Parent Entity, unless (A) each Person acquiring the Company’s assets or Common Stock (or Parent Entity thereof, as applicable), or any other successor entity resulting from such Major Transaction (in each case, a “Successor Entity”), assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant, the Facility Agreement (but, other than with respect to the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 5.1(e) and 5.1(p) of the Facility Agreement and the other provisions of the Facility Agreement that expressly survive the repayment of the Loans (which shall be assumed in any Assumption), only if there are outstanding Loans under the Facility Agreement immediately following the consummation of the Major Transaction) and the Registration Rights Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(b)(ii) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Holder and approved by Holder prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), including agreements to deliver to Holder in exchange for its Warrants a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Warrants, that, among other things, (1) is exercisable for the appropriate number of shares of the Successor Entity’s capital stock (without regard to the 4.985% Cap or any other restriction or limitation on exercise, provided that such instrument shall contain a limitation on exercise comparable to that contained in the second paragraph of Section 1 of this Warrant), (2) has an exercise price similar to the then-effective Exercise Price (taking into account any conversion or exchange ratio applicable to the Common Stock in the Major Transaction) and exercise price adjustment provisions similar to those in the Warrants; or (3) entitles Holder to such additional securities or other consideration as Holder would be entitled pursuant to Section 5(b)(i) in connection with the Major Transaction; and (4) provides for registration rights similar to those provided by the Registration Rights Agreement, in each case reasonably satisfactory to Holder, and (B) the Successor Entity (including

 

14


its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. For the avoidance of doubt, Holders’ reasonable satisfaction referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be construed only to apply to confirmation that the warrant or other comparable security and registration rights agreement delivered to Holder upon an assumption hereunder shall conform to the requirements of this Section 5(b)(ii), and this Section 5(b)(ii) shall not be construed as granting consent or approval rights to Holder with respect to the terms of such Major Transaction or to permit Holder to demand any additional consideration in respect of this Warrant other than as provided herein. Upon the occurrence of any Major Transaction, any Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Major Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of the Major Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Major Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants prior to such Major Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Major Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant other than any applicable beneficial ownership limitations.

(iii) Major Transaction Notice; Major Transaction Early Termination Right; Notice of Cashless Major Exercise. At least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any Major Transaction, but, in any event, within five (5) Trading Days following the first to occur of (x) the date of the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or (y) the day following the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made on and after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier to Holder (a “Major Transaction Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after Holder’s receipt of a Major Transaction Notice in respect of a Successor Major Transaction and ending five (5) Trading Days prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction (the “Early Termination Period”), Holder may elect a Successor Major Transaction Conversion by delivering written notice thereof (“Major Transaction Early Termination Notice”) to the Company, which Major Transaction Early Termination Notice shall indicate the portion of the Warrant (with reference to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a Cash Exercise of such portion, without regard to the 4.985% Cap) that Holder is electing to be treated as a Successor Major Transaction Conversion. The portion of this Warrant subject to early termination pursuant to this Section 5(b)(iii), shall be converted into the right to receive the Successor Major Transaction Consideration

To the extent Holder shall elect to effect a Cashless Major Exercise in respect of a Major Transaction, Holder shall deliver its Exercise Form in accordance with Section 3(b), at any time and from time to time following receipt by Holder of the Major Transaction Notice until the later of (x) the Term of this Warrant and (y) the one-year anniversary of the applicable Major Transaction (the “Cashless Major Exercise Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, Holder shall be permitted to make successive Cashless Major Exercises and send successive Exercise Forms in respect of a Cashless Major Exercise from time to time at any time during the Cashless Major Exercise Period.

 

15


(iv) Escrow; Payment of Successor Major Transaction Consideration . Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Early Termination Notice in respect of a Successor Major Transaction from Holder, the Company shall not effect a Successor Major Transaction with respect to which Holder has elected a Successor Major Transaction Conversion unless either (A) it obtains, as a condition precedent to such Major Transaction, the written agreement of the Successor Entity that payment of the Successor Major Transaction Consideration shall be made to Holder concurrently with consummation of such Successor Major Transaction, or (B) it shall place the Successor Major Transaction Consideration into an escrow account with an independent escrow agent, and shall instruct the escrow agent to deliver the Successor Major Transaction Consideration to Holder, concurrently with the consummation of the Major Transaction. Notwithstanding clauses (A) and (B) above, Holder shall be treated on a pari passu basis with, and shall not have priority to payments to, the holders of Common Stock in connection with a Major Transaction. For purposes of determining the amount required to be placed in escrow pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (iv) and without affecting the amount of the actual Successor Major Transaction Consideration, the calculation of the price referred to in clause (1) of the first column of Schedule 1 hereto with respect to Stock Price shall be determined based on the Closing Market Price (as defined on Schedule I) of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that the Successor Major Transaction Consideration is deposited with the escrow agent.

(v) Injunction . Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Early Termination Notice from Holder, in the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Successor Major Transaction without either (1) placing the Successor Major Transaction Consideration in escrow in accordance with subsection (iv) above, or (2) obtaining the written agreement of the Successor Entity as described in subsection (iv) above, Holder shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal court sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan to prevent the closing of such Major Transaction until the Successor Major Transaction Consideration is delivered to Holder.

An early termination required by this Section 5(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12. To the extent an early termination required by this Section 5(b) is deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Warrant by the Company, such early termination shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, until the Successor Major Transaction Consideration is paid in full, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by Holder into shares of Common Stock, or in the event the Exercise Date is after the consummation of the Major Transaction, shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity pursuant to Section 5(b). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s early termination of any portion of the Warrant under this Section 5(b), Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for Holder. Accordingly, any premium due under this Section 5(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a commercially reasonable estimate of Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

 

16


(c) Exercise Price Adjusted . As used in this Warrant, the term “Exercise Price” shall mean the purchase price per share specified in Section 3(a) of this Warrant, until the occurrence of an event stated in this Section 5 or otherwise set forth in this Warrant, and thereafter shall mean said price as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the provisions of said subsection. No adjustment made pursuant to any provision of this Section 5 shall have the net effect of increasing the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder or, except as expressly provided in Section 5(a), otherwise increasing the Exercise Price.

(d) Adjustments: Additional Shares, Securities or Assets . In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5 or otherwise, Holder shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive shares and/or other securities or assets (other than Common Stock) then, wherever appropriate, all references herein to shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and thereafter the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 5.

(e) Notice of Adjustments . Whenever the Exercise Price and/or number or type of securities issuable upon Exercise is adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly mail to Holder a notice (an “Exercise Price Adjustment Notice”) setting forth the Exercise Price and/or number or type of securities issuable upon Exercise after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of Holder, furnish to Holder a like Warrant setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon Exercise of the Warrant. For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides an Exercise Price Adjustment Notice pursuant to this Section 5(e), upon the occurrence of any event that leads to an adjustment of the Exercise Price, Holder would be entitled to receive a number of Exercise Shares based upon the new Exercise Price, as adjusted, for exercises occurring on or after the date of such adjustment, regardless of whether Holder accurately refers to the adjusted Exercise Price in the Exercise Form.

6. Fractional Interests .

No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder may purchase only a whole number of shares of Common Stock. If, on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Exercise shall be the next higher whole number of shares.

7. Reservation of Shares .

From and after the date hereof, the Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities substituted therefor as herein above provided) as shall be sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price. If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance

 

17


is below the number of shares sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant (a “Share Authorization Failure”) (based on the Exercise Price in effect from time to time), the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations under this Section 7, in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, and using its best efforts to obtain stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares. The Company covenants and agrees that upon the Exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any Person. The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be approved for listing on the NasdaqGS, or, if the NasdaqGS is not the principal trading market for the Common Stock, such principal market on which the Common Stock is traded or listed.

B. Restrictions on Transfer .

(a) Registration or Exemption Required . This Warrant has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 thereunder and exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state securities (or “blue sky”) laws. None of the Warrant, the Exercise Shares or Failure Payment Shares may be pledged, transferred, sold or assigned except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws, including Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act or a so-called “4[(a)](1) and a half” transaction.

(b) Assignment . Subject to Section 8(a), Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, in whole or in part. Holder shall deliver a written notice to the Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit  B , indicating the Person or Persons to whom the Warrant shall be assigned and the respective number of warrants to be assigned to each assignee. The Company shall effect the assignment within three (3) Business Days of its receipt of a completed and executed form of Assignment (the “Transfer Delivery Period”), and shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and terms entitling Holder to purchase the appropriate number of shares. This Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder. For avoidance of doubt, in the event Holder notifies the Company that such sale or transfer is a so called “4[(a)](1) and half” transaction, the parties hereto agree that a legal opinion from outside counsel for Holder delivered to counsel for the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit  C shall be the only requirement to satisfy an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to effectuate such “4[(a)](1) and half” transaction.

9. Noncircumvention .

The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other

 

18


voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

10. Events of Failure; Definition of Black Scholes Value .

(a) Definition.

The occurrence of each of the following shall be considered to be an “Event of Failure.”

(i) A Delivery Failure occurs, where a “Delivery Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its best efforts to deliver Exercise Shares to Holder within any applicable Delivery Period (other than due to the limitation contained in the second paragraph of Section 1);

(ii) A Legend Removal Failure occurs, where a “Legend Removal Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its best efforts to issue this Warrant and/or Exercise Shares without a restrictive legend, or fails to use it best efforts to remove a restrictive legend, when and as required under Section 2(e) hereof;

(iii) a Transfer Delivery Failure occurs, where a “Transfer Delivery Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its best efforts to deliver a Warrant within any applicable Transfer Delivery Period; and

(iv) a Registration Failure (as defined below).

For purpose hereof, “Registration Failure” means that (A) the Company fails to file with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) any Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, (B) the Company fails to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain effectiveness with the SEC, prior to the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), and if such Registration Statement does not become effective prior to the Registration Deadline, as soon as possible thereafter, of any Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) that is required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, or fails to use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement current and effective as required in Section 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement, (C) the Company fails to file any additional Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) of the Registration Rights Agreement on or before the Additional Filing Deadline or fails to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such new Registration Statement to become effective on or before the Additional Registration Deadline, and if such effectiveness does not occur within such period, as soon as possible thereafter, (D) the Company fails to file any amendment to any Registration Statement, or any additional Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement within thirty (30) days of the applicable Registration Trigger Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), or fails to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective within ninety

 

19


(90) days of the applicable Registration Trigger Date, and, if such effectiveness does not occur within such period, as soon as possible thereafter, (E) any Registration Statement required to be filed under the Registration Rights Agreement, after its initial effectiveness and during the Registration Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), lapses in effect or, other than on a day during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), sales of all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) cannot otherwise be made thereunder (whether by reason of the Company’s failure to amend or supplement the prospectus included therein in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company’s failure to file and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain effectiveness with the SEC of an additional Registration Statement or amended Registration Statement required pursuant to Sections 2(a)(ii) or 3(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement, as applicable, or otherwise), or (F) the Company fails to provide a commercially reasonable written response to any comments to any Registration Statement submitted by the SEC within twenty-five (25) days of the date that such SEC comments are received by the Company.

(b) Failure Payments; Black-Scholes Determination. The Company understands that any Event of Failure (as defined above) could result in economic loss to Holder. In the event that any Event of Failure occurs, as compensation to Holder for such economic loss, the Company agrees to pay to Holder an amount payable, at the Company’s option, either (i) in cash or (ii) in shares of Common Stock that are valued for these purposes at the Volume Weighted Average Price on the date of such calculation (“Failure Payments” and such shares, “Failure Payment Shares”), in each case equal to the total economic loss of Holder determined on a commercially reasonable basis in connection with such Event of Failure for the relevant period (as recalculated on the first Business Day of each month thereafter for as long as Failure Payments shall continue to accrue) from the date of such Event of Failure until the Event of Failure is cured; provided, however, that in the event the Company elects to make Failure Payments in Failure Payment Shares, the Company shall issue, and Holder shall only receive, up to such number of shares of Common Stock in respect of Failure Payments such that Holder and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) shall not collectively beneficially own greater than 4.985% of the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issued and outstanding, and the balance of such Failure Payments shall be paid in cash. For purposes of clarification, it is agreed and understood that Failure Payments shall continue to accrue following any Event of Default until the applicable Default Amount is paid in full. The Company shall satisfy any Failure Payments under this Section pursuant to Section 10(c) below. Failure Payments are in addition to any Shares that Holder is entitled to receive upon Exercise of this Warrant.

(c) Payment of Accrued Failure Payments. The Failure Payments and Failure Payment Shares representing accrued Failure Payments for each Event of Failure shall be paid or issued and delivered, as the case may be, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day of each month following a month in which Failure Payments accrued. Nothing herein shall limit Holder’s right to pursue actual damages (to the extent in excess of the Failure Payments) for the Company’s Event of Failure, and Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding the above, if

 

20


a particular Event of Failure results in an Event of Default pursuant to Section 11 hereof, then the Failure Payment, for that Event of Failure only, shall be considered to have been satisfied upon payment to Holder of an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Failure Payment, or (ii) the Default Amount, payable in accordance with Section 11.

(d) Maximum Interest Rate. Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to Holder and thereby refunded to the Company.

11. Default .

(a) Events Of Default . Each of the following events shall be considered to be an “Event of Default,” unless waived by Holder:

(i) Failure To Effect Registration. With respect to all Registration Failures, a Registration Failure occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than forty-five (45) days (or sixty (60) days in the case where the Company (i) has, by the Filing Deadline (as defined the Registration Rights Agreement) filed a Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering this Warrant and the number of shares required by the Registration Rights Agreement, and (ii) has responded in writing to any comments to the Registration Statement that the Company has received from the SEC, within ten (10) Business Days of such receipt, and nevertheless the SEC has not declared effective a Registration Statement covering the this Warrant and the Shares by the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)), and such Registration Failure relates solely to the Company’s failure to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and with respect to a Registration Failure provided in clause (E) of the definition of “Registration Failure,” such Registration Failure occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than forty-five (45) days.

(ii) Failure To Deliver Common Stock . A Delivery Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than twenty (20) days; or at any time, the Company announces or states in writing that it will not honor its obligations to issue shares of Common Stock to Holder upon Exercise by Holder of the Exercise rights of Holder in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.

(iii) Legend Removal Failure . A Legend Removal Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of twenty (20) days;

(iv) Transfer Delivery Failure . A Transfer Delivery Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of twenty (20) days;

(v) Corporate Existence; Major Transaction . (A) The Company has failed to (1) place the Successor Major Transaction Consideration into escrow and instruct the escrow agent to release the Successor Major Transaction Consideration to the Holder pursuant to Section 5(b)(iii), or (2) obtain the written agreement of the Successor Entity and cause the Successor Entity to make

 

21


payment as described in Section 5(b)(iii), (B) the Successor Major Transaction Consideration is not paid contemporaneously with the consummation of the Successor Major Transaction, or (C) with respect to a Major Transaction that is to be treated as an Assumption under the terms hereof, the Company has failed to meet the Assumption requirements of Section 5(b)(i); or

(vi) Section  13 Breach . During the Dividend Restriction Period, the Company declares or pays any dividend or distribution of any kind to the holders of Common Stock of the Company.

(b) Mandatory Early Termination .

(i) Mandatory Early Termination Amount; Cashless Default Exercise . The Company shall notify Holder in writing within two (2) Business Days of the occurrence of an Event of Default. If any Events of Default shall occur then, at the option of Holder, such option exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Company by such Holder (the “Default Notice”), the Company shall have the right to terminate the outstanding amount of this Warrant and pay to Holder (a “Mandatory Early Termination”), in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder by delivery of a notice to such effect to Holder within two (2) Business Days following receipt of the Default Notice, an amount payable in cash (the “Mandatory Early Termination Amount” or the “Default Amount”) equal to the Black-Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Default Notice (or in the case of an Event of Default referred to in Section 11(a)(vi), on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date the dividend or distribution is declared or, if not first declared, is paid). In the event the Company does not exercise its right to consummate a Mandatory Early Termination, then Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant, at any time and from time to time, pursuant to a Cashless Default Exercise in accordance with Section 3(c) above.

The Mandatory Early Termination Amount shall be payable within five (5) Business Days following the date of the applicable Default Notice.

(ii) Liquidated Damages . The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the sums payable as Failure Payments or pursuant to a Mandatory Early Termination shall constitute partial liquidated damages and not penalties. The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred by Holder is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified bear a reasonable proportion and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred by Holder, and (iii) the parties are sophisticated business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal and financial counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Default Amount, together with all other amounts payable hereunder, shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including legal fees and expenses, of collection, and Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

(c) Posting Of Bond . In the event that any Event of Default occurs hereunder, the Company may not raise as a legal defense (in any Lawsuit, as defined below, or otherwise) or justification to such Event of Default any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated

 

22


with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless the Company has posted a surety bond (a “Surety Bond”) for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 130% of the aggregate Surety Bond Value (as defined below) of all of Holder’s Warrants (the “Bond Amount”), which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.

For purposes hereof, a “Lawsuit” shall mean any lawsuit, arbitration or other dispute resolution filed by either party herein pertaining to any of this Warrant, the Facility Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or any other Loan Document (as defined in the Facility Agreement).

“Surety Bond Value,” for the Warrants shall mean 130% of the of the Black-Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that such bond goes into effect.

(d) Injunction And Posting Of Bond . In the event that the Event of Default referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 11 pertains to the Company’s failure to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to Holder pursuant to a Warrant Exercise, legend removal request, or otherwise, the Company may not refuse such unlegended share delivery based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless an injunction from a court, on prior notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining Exercise of all or part of said Warrant shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a Surety Bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of the Bond Amount, which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.

(e) Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches And Injunctive Relief . The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant, the Facility Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and any other Loan Document, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach (including a breach or threatened breach of Section 13), the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

12. Holder’s Early Terminations .

(a) Mechanics of Holder’s Early Terminations . In the event that the Company does not deliver the applicable Successor Major Transaction Consideration or Default Amount or the Exercise Shares in respect of an election of a Successor Major Transaction Conversion, Cashless Major Exercise, Cashless Default or Exercise, as the case may be, to Holder within the time period or as otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof, at any time thereafter Holder shall have the

The foregoing opinion is furnished only to                      and may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to or relied upon by you for any purposes other than the purpose for which furnished or by any other person for any purpose, without our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,

2. REGISTRATION.

a. MANDATORY REGISTRATION. (i) Following the Agreement Date, the Company shall prepare, and, on or prior to the applicable Filing Deadline, file with the SEC a Registration Statement (the “Mandatory Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not then available, on such form of Registration Statement as is then available to effect a registration of the Registrable Securities, subject to the consent of the Investors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) covering the resale of the Registrable Securities, which Registration Statement, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), shall state that such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants or the Warrant Shares to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends, stock issuances or similar transactions. The number of shares of Common Stock initially included in such Registration Statement shall be no less than the aggregate number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable upon exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants, without regard to any limitations on the Investors’ ability to exercise the Warrants. Each Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided to (and shall be subject to the approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, of) the Investors and their counsel prior to its filing or other submission.

(ii) If for any reason, despite the Company’s use of its best efforts to include all of the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 (a)(i) above (and subject to Section 3(q) below), the SEC does not permit all of the Registrable Securities to be included in, or for any other reason any Registrable Securities are not then included in, such Registration Statement, then the Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Additional Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an additional Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities not already covered by an existing and effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415.

b. PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATIONS. If at any time prior to the expiration of the Registration Period (as hereinafter defined) the Company shall determine (i) to file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to an offering for its own account or for the account of any other holder of its equity securities (other than securities being registered on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans), and/or (ii) otherwise to effect an underwritten offering of any securities of the Company of a type included in a then effective Registration Statement, the Company shall send to each Investor written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the effective date of such notice, the Investor shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement and/or include in such underwritten offering, as applicable, all or any part of such Investor’s Registrable Securities that the Investor requests to be registered and/or included in the underwritten offering, as applicable, except that if, in connection with any underwritten offering for the account of the Company, the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities which may be included in such offering because, in such underwriter(s)’ judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such underwritten offering only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which the Investor has requested inclusion hereunder as the underwriter(s) shall permit;


provided, however , that the Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Company has first excluded all outstanding securities to be sold for the accounts of any holders of the Company’s equity securities which are not entitled by contract to inclusion of such securities in an underwritten offering or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities; and

provided, further, however , that, after giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso, any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with holders of other securities having the contractual right to include such securities in such underwritten offering other than holders of securities entitled to inclusion of their securities in such underwritten offering by reason of demand registration rights. No right to registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2(b) shall be construed to limit any registration required under Section 2(a) hereof. If an Investor’s Registrable Securities are included in an underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 2(b), then such Investor shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, offer and sell such Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering using the same underwriter or underwriters and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the same terms and conditions as other shares of Common Stock included in such underwritten offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the rights of the Investors pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall only be available in the case of an underwritten offering or in the event the Company fails to timely file, obtain effectiveness or maintain effectiveness of any Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. In connection with any registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall have the following obligations:

a. The Company shall prepare promptly, and file with the SEC as soon as practicable after such registration obligation arises hereunder (but in no event later than the applicable Filing Deadline), a Registration Statement with respect to the number of Registrable Securities provided in Section 2(a), as applicable, and thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to cause each such Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities to become effective as soon as possible after such filing, but in any event shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each such Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities to become effective no later than the Registration Deadline, and shall thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement current and effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until such date as is the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have been sold and (ii) assuming all of the Warrants will be exercised pursuant to Cash Exercises (as defined in the Warrants), the date on which all of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in the opinion of counsel to the Investors) may be immediately sold to the public without registration or restriction (including without limitation as to volume by each holder thereof), and without compliance with any “current public information” requirement, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (the “Registration Period”), which Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein), except


for information provided in writing by an Investor pursuant to Section 4(a), shall 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 not misleading. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of any Registrable Securities hereunder (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without in any way affecting the Company’s obligation to register the resale of the Registrable Securities on such other form as is available, as provided in Section 2(a)), (i) the Company shall undertake to file, within twenty (20) days of such time as such form is available for such registration, a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement then in effect, or otherwise file a Registration Statement on Form S-3, registering such Registrable Securities on Form S-3; provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement (or post-effective amendment) on Form S-3 covering such Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC, and (ii) the Company shall provide that any Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed hereunder shall incorporate documents by reference (including by way of forward incorporation by reference) to the maximum extent possible.

b. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep each Registration Statement current and effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during the Registration Period, shall comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by each Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the event that on any Trading Day (as defined below) (the “Registration Trigger Date”) the number of shares available under the Registration Statements filed pursuant to this Agreement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants, including any additional shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any anti-dilution provisions contained in the Warrants, without giving effect to any limitations on the Investors’ ability to exercise the Warrants, the Company shall amend the Registration Statements, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover the total number of Registrable Securities so issued or issuable (without giving effect to any limitations on exercise contained in the Warrants) as of the Registration Trigger Date as soon as practicable, but in any event within twenty (20) days after the Registration Trigger Date. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof, but in any event the Company shall cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective within sixty (60) days of the Registration Trigger Date or as promptly as practicable in the event the Company is required to increase its authorized shares. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded for any period on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (the “NasdaqGS”), or if not the NasdaqGS, the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.


c. The Company shall furnish to each Investor and its legal counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC or received by the Company, one copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and, in the case of a Registration Statement referred to in Section 2(a), each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought or intends to seek confidential treatment or which relates to Company matters that are in the reasonable judgment of the Company not relevant to the Investor’s interests with respect to the Registrable Securities), and (ii) such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as an Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor; provided that the Company may determine in its reasonable judgment to provide any such copies in electronic form only. The Company will promptly notify each of the Investors by electronic mail of the effectiveness of each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment. The Company will promptly respond to any and all comments received from the SEC, with a view towards causing each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable and, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than three (3) business days, following the resolution or clearance of all SEC comments or, if applicable, following notification by the SEC that any such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto will not be subject to review, shall file a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than two (2) business days after the submission of such request. No later than the first business day after such Registration Statement becomes effective, the Company will file with the SEC the final prospectus included therein pursuant to Rule 424 (or successor thereto) under the Securities Act.

d. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify, in any jurisdiction where registration and/or qualification is required, the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statements under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investors shall reasonably request, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be reasonably necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

e. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, the Company shall notify each Investor that holds Registrable Securities of the happening of any event, of which the Company has knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus included in any Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to any Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver such number of copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably request.


f. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any Registration Statement, and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible moment and to notify each Investor that holds Registrable Securities (and, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof.

g. The Company shall permit a single firm of counsel designated by the Investors (“Legal Counsel”) to review such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (as well as all requests for acceleration or effectiveness thereof), a reasonable period of time prior to their filing with the SEC (not less than five (5) business days but not more than eight (8) business days) and not file any documents in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects and will not request acceleration of such Registration Statement without prior notice to Legal Counsel.

h. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning any Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to such Investor prior to making such disclosure, and allow such Investor, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

i. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, and, to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) as such with respect to such Registrable Securities.

j. The Company shall provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the initial Registration Statement.


k. The Company shall cooperate with each Investor that holds Registrable Securities being offered and the managing underwriter or underwriters with respect to an applicable Registration Statement, if any, to facilitate the timely (i) preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to such Registration Statement, and enable such certificates to be registered in such names and in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, or (ii) crediting of the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement to the applicable account (or accounts) with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system, in any such case as such Investor or the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, may reasonably request. Within three (3) business days after a Registration Statement which includes Registrable Securities becomes effective, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to each Investor) an appropriate instruction and an opinion of such counsel in the form required by the transfer agent in order to issue the Registrable Securities free of restrictive legends.

l. At the reasonable request of an Investor, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and any prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to change the plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement.

m. The Company shall not, and shall not agree to, allow the holders of any securities of the Company to include any of their securities (other than Registrable Securities) in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or any amendment or supplement thereto under Section 3(b) hereof without the consent of Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. In addition, the Company shall not include any securities for its own account or the account of others in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or any amendment or supplement thereto filed pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof without the consent of Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.

n. Reserved.

o. The Company shall comply with all applicable laws related to a Registration Statement and offering and sale of securities and all applicable rules and regulations of governmental authorities in connection therewith (including the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC).

p. If required by the FINRA Corporate Financing Department, the Company shall promptly effect a filing with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 (or successor thereto) with respect to the public offering contemplated by resales of securities under the Registration Statement (an “Issuer Filing”), and pay the filing fee required by such Issuer Filing. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to pursue the Issuer Filing until FINRA issues a letter confirming that it does not object to the terms of the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement.


q. If at any time the SEC advises the Company in writing that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by a Registration Statement is a bona fide secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the Investors is an “underwriter.” The Investors shall have the right to participate or have their respective counsel participate in any meetings or discussions with the SEC regarding the SEC’s position and to comment or have their respective counsel comment on any written submission made to the SEC with respect thereto. No such written submission shall be made to the SEC to which any Investor’s counsel reasonably objects. In the event that, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 3(q), the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities as the SEC requires in writing be removed therefrom. Any such cut-back imposed by the SEC as contemplated by this Section 3(q) shall be imposed on a pro rata basis (based upon the Registrable Securities held by each of the Investors), first, to the Registrable Securities that are not Warrant Shares until all of such Registrable Securities are removed from the Registration Statement, and only then to the Warrant Shares, unless otherwise required by the SEC.

r. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3(e) , at any time after the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, the Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company and its counsel, in the best interest of the Company and not, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a “ Grace Period ”); provided, that the Company shall (i) promptly notify the Investors in writing of the existence of material non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company shall not disclose the content of such material non-public information to any Investor unless otherwise requested in writing by such Investor) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) as soon as such date may be determined, promptly notify the Investors in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided , further , that (A) no Grace Period shall exceed forty-five (45) consecutive days, (B) during any three hundred sixty five (365) day period, such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of seventy-five (75) days, (C) the first day of any Grace Period must be at least ten (10) business days after the last day of any prior Grace Period and (D) no Grace Period shall be in effect on any day during any period beginning on (and including) the date that is ten (10) business days prior to any issuance by the Company of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Facility Agreement and Exhibit 2.7 thereto and ending on (and including) the date that is fifteen (15) business days after such issuance (each Grace Period that satisfies all of the requirements of this Section 3(r) being referred to as an “ Allowable Grace Period ”). For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 3(e) hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period, Failure Payments (as defined in the Warrants) shall not accrue on any day during an Allowable Grace Period, and the unavailability of a Registration Statement for resales of the Registrable Securities on any day during an Allowable Grace Period shall not constitute a “Registration Failure” (as defined in the Warrants). Upon expiration of the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(e) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material non-public information is no longer applicable.


4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR. In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, each Investor shall have the following obligations:

a. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of an Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least five (5) business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor of the information the Company requires from such Investor. Any such information shall 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 not misleading. An Investor must provide such information to the Company at least two (2) business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement if such Investor elects to have any Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement.

b. Each Investor, by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to exclude all of the Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

c. In the event of an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(b) in which any Registrable Securities of any Investor are to be included, such Investor agrees to enter into and perform the Investor’s obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including customary indemnification and contribution obligations (as applicable to selling security holders generally), with the managing underwriter of such offering and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Investor Registrable Securities.

d. Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or 3(f), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or 3(f).


e. Each Investor agrees that it will promptly notify the Company of any material changes in the information set forth in a Registration Statement furnished by or regarding such Investor, other than changes in the number of shares beneficially owned.

5. REGISTRATION FAILURE. In the event of a Registration Failure (as defined in the Warrants), the Investors shall be entitled to Failure Payments (as defined in the Warrants) and such other rights as set forth in the Warrants.

6. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall also reimburse the Investors for the reasonable fees and disbursements of Legal Counsel in the aggregate amount up to $25,000 per registration in connection with registrations pursuant to Section 2 or 3 of this Agreement.

7. INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

a. The Company will indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) each Investor, (ii) the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees, agents of each Investor, and each Person who controls any Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, if any, (iii) any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each Investor in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, and (iv) the directors, officers, partners, employees and each Person who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, if any (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any joint or several losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (collectively, together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof, “Claims”) to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in any Registration Statement, or any amendment as supplement thereto, or any filing made under state securities laws as required hereby, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees and other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 7(a) shall not apply to a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation to the extent that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with


information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or (B) to any amounts paid in settlement of any Claim effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by any of the Investors pursuant to Section 10.

b. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Section 7, deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnified Person, as the case may be;

provided, however , that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the Company, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for such Indemnified Person, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and the Company would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Company shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons, and such legal counsel shall be selected by the Investors. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 7, except to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action, and shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnified Person otherwise than pursuant to this Section 7. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Persons, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be or has been sought hereunder (whether or not any such Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Persons of a full release from all liability with respect to such Claim or which includes any admission as to fault or culpability on the part of any Indemnified Person. The indemnification required by this Section 7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as any expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.

c. Each Investor will indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) the Company, and (ii) the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees, or agents of the Company, if any (each, a “Company Indemnified Person”), against any Claims to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities, which occurs due to the inclusion by the Company in a Registration Statement of false or


misleading information about an Investor, where such information was furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for the purpose of inclusion in such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(c) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided, further, however, that an Investor shall be liable under this Section 7(c) for only that amount of a Claim as does not exceed the net amount of proceeds received by such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

d. Promptly after receipt by a Company Indemnified Person under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Company Indemnified Person shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Investor under this Section 7, deliver to such Investor a written notice of the commencement thereof, and such Investor shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent such Investor so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to such Investor and such Company Indemnified Person.

8. CONTRIBUTION. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 7(a) or 7(c) (as applicable) is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or Company Indemnified Person (as applicable) or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Person or Company Indemnified Person (as applicable) as a result of the Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Person or Company Indemnified Person (as applicable) and the indemnifying party (provided that the relative fault of any Company Indemnified Person shall be deemed to include the fault of all other Company Indemnified Persons), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 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 not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of an Investor be greater in amount than the net amount of proceeds received by such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement (net of the aggregate amount of any damages or other amounts such Investor has otherwise been required to pay (pursuant to Section 7(c) or otherwise) by reason of such Investor’s untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission).

9. REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT. With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees to:

a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;


b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

c. so long as any of the Investors owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, furnish to such Investor (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act as required for applicable provisions of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit such Investor to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

10. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by each Investor to any transferee of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities if: (i) such Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, 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 (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, and (iii) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated in 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 as applicable to the Investors. In the event that the Company receives written notice from an Investor that it has transferred all or any portion of its Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section, the Company shall have up to ten (10) days to file any amendments or supplements necessary to keep a Registration Statement current and effective pursuant to Rule 415, and the commencement date of any Event of Failure (as defined in the Warrants) or Event of Default (as defined in the Warrants) under the Warrants caused thereby will be extended by ten (10) days. Each Investor shall at all times comply with the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 8 of the Warrant (to the extent applicable to such Investor), which provisions are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof.

11. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with written consent of the Company and the holders of a majority in interest of then-outstanding Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 11 shall be binding upon each of the Investors and the Company.

12. MISCELLANEOUS.

a. A Person is deemed to hold, and be a holder of, shares of Common Stock or other Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns of record or beneficially through a “street name” holder such shares of Common Stock or other Registrable Securities (or the Warrants or other securities upon exercise, conversion or exchange of which such Registrable Securities are directly or indirectly issuable, without


giving effect to any limitations on exercise, conversion or exchange of the Warrants or other securities), and solely for purposes hereof, Registrable Securities shall be deemed outstanding to the extent they are directly or indirectly issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of the Warrants or other outstanding securities, Registrable Securities, without giving effect to any limits on exercise, conversion or exchange of the Warrants or other securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities (or the Warrants or other securities upon exercise, conversion or exchange of which such Registrable Securities are directly or indirectly issuable).

b. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms hereof shall be sent by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested) or delivered personally or by courier (including a recognized overnight delivery service) or by electronic mail and shall be effective five days after being placed in the mail, if mailed by regular United States mail, or upon receipt, if delivered personally or by courier (including a recognized overnight delivery service) or by electronic mail, in each case addressed to a party.

Litigation

Barry Lucido, etc. v. TriVascular Technologies, Inc., et al., Superior Court of the State California, County of Sonoma, Case No. SCV 258123 . The complaint sought, among other things, rescissory and compensatory damages, and attorneys’ fees and expenses. On January 25, 2016, the defendants entered into a memorandum of understanding with the plaintiffs providing for the settlement of all claims in both actions. In December 2016, the defendants entered into a stipulation and agreement of compromise, settlement and release with respect to this matter and the dismissal thereof. The final settlement hearing is scheduled for June 2017.

Vicky Nguyen v. Endologix, Inc., et al. (Filed January 3, 2017 in the United States District Court, Central District of California; Case No. 2:17-cv-00017); and Kodgi Ahmed v. Endologix, Inc., et al. (Filed January 11, 2017 in the United States District Court, Central District of California; Case No. 8:17-cv-00061). These putative securities class actions are brought against defendants Endologix, Inc., John McDermott, and Vaseem Mahboob. The putative class period is August 2, 2016 through November 16, 2016. The lawsuits allege that the defendants made misleading statements about the prospects for approval by the FDA of the Nellix medical product in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The lawsuits allege that on November 16, 2016, Endologix announced that the FDA had requested additional data from Endologix to assess Nellix for approval and that Endologix’s stock fell approximately 20% on this news. The lawsuits seek damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, expert fees, costs, and other relief the Court may deem appropriate. Endologix intends to file a motion to dismiss the lawsuits after the Court appoints a lead plaintiff and the lead plaintiff files a consolidated complaint.

Steven M. Ortiz v. Endologix, Inc. This wage and hour class action lawsuit was filed by former employee Steven M. Ortiz entitled Steven M. Ortiz. v. Endologix, Inc., Orange County Superior Court Case No. 30-2016-00873893-CU-OE-CXC. The case was filed on September 9, 2016 and involves the following claims that the plaintiff seeks to certify as a class action: failure to pay all overtime wages owing; failure to provide meal periods and failure to pay meal period premiums; failure to pay all wages owed at time of termination seeking waiting time penalties under Labor Code section 203; failure to provide accurate wage statements; and violations of Business and Professions Code section 17200. The case also alleges claims for penalties under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004. Endologix and the plaintiff held a mediation in March 2017 regarding this matter and are negotiating the terms of a final settlement agreement.

Samuels v. TriVascular, Inc. , in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Civil Action No. 3:13-cv-02261-EMC. In this action, Dr. Shaun L.W. Samuels filed a complaint asserting patent infringement of United States Patent No. 6,007,575 (the “’575 patent”) in connection with TriVascular’s Ovation Prime ® Abdominal Stent Graft System for the treatment of aortic abdominal aneurysms. TriVascular filed an answer and counterclaims, asserting various defenses and asserting counterclaims. Dr. Samuels filed a second amended complaint on August 13, 2015, adding individual defendants, Michael A. Chobotov, Ph.D.; Robert G. Whirley, Ph.D.; and Joseph W. Humphrey, Ph.D. TriVascular filed an answer and counterclaims on August 27, 2015, asserting various defenses and asserting counterclaims that Dr. Samuels’s patent is not infringed and is invalid, as well as certain breach of contract claims based on previous agreements with Dr. Samuels. On November 3, 2015, the court held a claim construction hearing to construe certain claims of the ‘575 patent, and issued a claim construction order on November 12, 2015.


On December 17, 2015, the court then entered (based on the parties stipulation) an order and final judgment of non-infringement of the ‘575 patent, providing that TriVascular and the individual defendants did not infringe the ‘575 patent and staying TriVascular’s second through fifth counterclaims pending Dr. Samuels’s appeal of the judgment of non-infringement. On January 12, 2016, Dr. Samuels filed a notice of appeal to the court of appeals for the federal circuit. After briefing, the appeal was argued before a panel of the federal circuit on November 1, 2016. On November 3, 2016, the federal circuit affirmed the district court’s judgment summarily, without writing an opinion. The federal circuit’s mandate was issued on December 12, 2016. TriVascular filed a motion for attorney fees, which the district court denied on February 22, 2017. The district court also ordered the parties to file a stipulation of dismissal of TriVascular’s counterclaims two through five without prejudice, as well as a stipulated final judgment disposing of the case, by March 2017. The parties filed the foregoing stipulations and are awaiting a final disposition from the district court.

Options and Equity Incentive/Compensation Plans:

Equity Awards : The Borrower’s 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) authorizes the grant of equity awards to purchase up to 6.8 million shares of Common Stock. As of December 31, 2016, approximately 8.3 million shares were reserved for issuance under outstanding stock options, including stock options granted under equity compensation plans preceeding the 2015 Plan, and 1.3 million shares were subject to unvested restricted stock awards. The outstanding stock options have exercise prices ranging from $1.64 to $17.60 and a weighted average exercise price of $9.22.

Amended and Restated 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) : As of December 31, 2016, approximately 4.6 million shares were available for issuance under the ESPP.

Non-Plan Inducement Grants : In connection with its merger with TriVascular Technologies, Inc., the Borrower issued non-plan inducement stock options to purchase 1.3 million shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.53 per share, and non-plan inducement restricted stock units for 0.3 million shares of Common Stock.


Warrants:

In connection with its merger with TriVascular Technologies, Inc., Borrower assumed 35,094 unexercised out-of-the-money warrants of TriVascular Technologies, Inc., 24,272 of which have an exercise price of $12.58 per share and 10,822 of which have an exercise price of $28.21 per share.

Convertible Notes:

2.25% Convertible Notes : On December 10, 2013, Borrower issued $86.3 million aggregate principal amount of 2.25% Convertible Notes. The initial conversion rate of the 2.25% Convertible Notes is 41.6051 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2.25% Convertible Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $24.04 per share. The 2.25% Convertible Notes are not convertible as of the Agreement Date.

3.25% Convertible Notes : On November 2, 2015, Borrower issued $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Notes. The initial conversion rate of the 3.25% Convertible Notes is 89.4314 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $11.18 per share.

In connection with its merger with Nellix, Inc. (“Nellix”), Borrower agreed to issue shares of Common Stock to the former stockholders of Nellix upon Borrower’s receipt of FDA approval to sell Borrower’s Nellix EVAS System in the United States (the “PMA Milestone”). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the former stockholders of Nellix upon achievement of the PMA Milestone shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing $15.0 million by the average per share closing price of Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market for each of the 30 consecutive trading days ending with the fifth trading day immediately preceding the date of Borrower’s receipt of FDA approval to sell Borrower’s Nellix EVAS System in the United States, subject to a stock price floor of $4.50 per share, but not subject to a stock price ceiling.

Schedule 5.2(iv)

Contingent Obligations

 

  Base Capped Call Confirmation, dated December 4, 2013, between the Borrower and Bank of America, N.A.

 

  Additional Capped Call Confirmation, dated December 5, 2013, between the Borrower and Bank of America, N.A.

The capped call transactions contemplated by the documents listed above relate to the 2.25% Convertible Notes. The capped call transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution and/or offset the potential cash payments that the Borrower may be required to make in excess of the principal amount upon conversion of the 2.25% Convertible Notes in the event that the market price per share of the Borrower’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, is greater than the strike price of the capped call transactions, which initially corresponds to the $24.04 conversion price of the 2.25% Convertible Notes. The Borrower will not be required to make any cash payments to Bank of America, N.A. upon the exercise of the options that are a part of the capped call transactions, but rather will be entitled to receive from Bank of America, N.A. a number of shares of the Borrower’s common stock and/or an amount of cash based on the amount by which the market price per share of Common Stock of the Borrower, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, is greater than the strike price of the capped call transactions during the relevant valuation period.

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans to Borrowers from time to time as set forth herein (each a “ Revolving Loan ”, and collectively, “ Revolving Loans ”) equal to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage of Revolving Loans requested by Borrowers hereunder, provided , however , that after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Loan Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Loan Limit. Borrowers shall deliver to Agent a Notice of Borrowing with respect to each proposed borrowing of a Revolving Loan, such Notice of Borrowing to be delivered before 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing. Each Borrower and each Revolving Lender hereby authorizes Agent to make Revolving Loans on behalf of Revolving Lenders, at any time in its sole discretion, to pay principal owing in respect of the Loans and interest, fees, expenses and other charges payable by any Credit Party from time to time arising under this Agreement or any other Financing Document. The Borrowing Base shall be determined by (A) during a Non-Third Party Agent Retention Period, Agent based on the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate (Agent) delivered to Agent or, (B) during a Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent based on the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate (Third Party Agent) delivered to Third Party Agent, in each case, in accordance with this Agreement and such other information as may be available to Agent in accordance with this Agreement. Without limiting any other rights and remedies of Agent hereunder or under the other Financing Documents, the Revolving Loans shall be subject to Agent’s continuing right to withhold from the Borrowing Base reserves, and to increase and decrease such reserves from time to time, if and to the extent that in Agent’s good faith credit judgment and reasonable discretion, such reserves are necessary.

(ii) Mandatory Revolving Loan Repayments and Prepayments .

(A) The Revolving Loan Commitment shall terminate on the Termination Date. On such Termination Date, there shall become due, and Borrowers shall pay, the entire outstanding principal amount of each Revolving Loan, together with accrued and unpaid Obligations pertaining thereto incurred to, but excluding the Termination Date; provided, however, that such payment is made not later than 12:00 Noon (Eastern time) on the Termination Date.

(B) If at any time the Revolving Loan Outstandings exceed the Revolving Loan Limit, then, on the next succeeding Business Day, Borrowers shall repay the Revolving Loans, in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

 

40


(C) Principal payable on account of Revolving Loans shall be payable by Borrowers to Agent (I) immediately upon the receipt by any Borrower or Agent of any payments on or proceeds from any of the Accounts, to the extent of such payments or proceeds, as further described in Section 2.11 below, and (II) in full on the Termination Date.

(iii) Optional Prepayments . Borrowers may from time to time, upon at least one (1) Business Day prior written notice, prepay the Revolving Loans in whole or in part; provided , however , that any such partial prepayment shall be in an amount equal to $100,000 or a higher integral multiple of $25,000. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this clause shall permit termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment by Borrower other than in accordance with Section 2.12(b).

(iv) LIBOR Rate .

(A) Except as provided in subsection (C) below, Revolving Loans shall accrue interest at the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, when both (I) there are more than $10,000,000 of Revolving Loans outstanding on average over the applicable month and (II) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such interest rate plus the fee set forth in Section 2.2(b) for any month shall exceed the Maximum Cumulative Rate, the Maximum Cumulative Rate shall be paid by the Borrowers for such month instead of such interest rate and such fee set forth in Section 2.2(b) for such month (the “ Maximum Cumulative Rate Provision ”). Such applicable interest rate, the “ Interest Rate ”.

(B) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs, in each case, due to changes in applicable Law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest based upon the LIBOR Rate; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “change in applicable Law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give Borrowers and Agent written notice of such a determination and adjustment and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, Borrowers may, by notice to such affected Lender and Agent (I) require such Lender to furnish to Borrowers a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (II) repay the Loans bearing interest based upon the LIBOR Rate with respect to which such adjustment is made.

 

41


(C) In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain Loans bearing interest based upon the LIBOR Rate or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Agent and Borrowers and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (I) in the case of any outstanding Loans of such Lender bearing interest based upon the LIBOR Rate, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such Loans, and interest upon such Lender’s Loans thereafter shall accrue interest at Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, and (II) such Loans shall continue to accrue interest at Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to maintain such Loans at the LIBOR Rate.

(D) Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent nor any Lender is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues based on the LIBOR Rate.

The unused line fee (or, as applicable, the Maximum Cumulative Rate) shall be paid monthly in arrears on the last day of each month and shall be deemed fully earned when due and payable and, once paid, shall be non-refundable.

(g) Deferred Revolving Loan Origination Fee . If Lenders’ funding obligations in respect of the Revolving Loan Commitment under this Agreement terminate or are permanently reduced for any reason (whether by voluntary termination by Borrowers, by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise) prior to the Maturity Date, Borrowers shall pay to Agent on the date of such reduction, for the benefit of all Lenders committed to make Revolving Loans on the Closing Date, a fee as compensation for the costs of such Lenders being prepared to make funds available to Borrowers under this Agreement, equal to an amount determined by multiplying the Revolving Loan Commitment by the following applicable percentage amount: two-and-a-half percent (2.5%) for the first year following the Closing Date, one-and-a-half percent (1.5%) for the second year following the Closing Date, and zero percent (0%) thereafter.

If a Loan is repaid on the same day that it is made, one (1) day’s interest shall be charged.

 

43

Section 2.4 Reserved .

Section 2.6 General Provisions Regarding Payment; Loan Account .

(a) All payments to be made by each Borrower under any Financing Document, including payments of principal and interest made hereunder and pursuant to any other Financing Document, and all fees, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension (it being understood and agreed that, solely for purposes of calculating financial covenants and computations contained herein and determining compliance therewith, if payment is made, in full, on any such extended due date, such payment shall be deemed to have been paid on the original due date without giving effect to any extension thereto). Any payments received in the Payment Account before 12:00 Noon (Eastern time) on any date shall be deemed received by Agent on such date, and any payments received in the Payment Account at or after 12:00 Noon (Eastern time) on any date shall be deemed received by Agent on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) During any Third Party Agent Retention Period, Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “ Loan Account ”) on its books to record Loans and other extensions of credit made by the Lenders hereunder or under any other Financing Document, and all payments thereon made by each Borrower. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. The balance in the Loan Account, as recorded in Agent’s books and records at any time shall be conclusive and binding evidence of the amounts due and owing to Agent by each Borrower absent manifest error; provided , however , that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect any Borrower’s duty to pay all amounts owing hereunder or under any other Financing Document. During any Non-Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Borrower Representative shall maintain such Loan Account and shall make such books, records and Loan Account available to Agent and the Lenders upon request therefrom. Upon the request of any Third Party Agent upon the commencement of any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Borrower Representative shall share such books and records of the Borrower Representative and such Loan Account with the Third Party Agent, and with respect to any discrepancies between the books, records or Loan Account of the Borrower Representative, on the one hand, and the books, records or Loan Account of any Lender, the Agent or the Third Party Agent, on the other hand, the books, records and Loan Account of such Lender, Agent or Third Party Agent shall govern and control in the absence of manifest error.

 

44


Section  2.7 Maximum Interest . In no event shall the interest charged with respect to the Loans or any other Obligations of any Borrower under any Financing Document exceed the maximum amount permitted under the laws of the State of New York or of any other applicable jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, if at any time the rate of interest payable hereunder or under any Note or other Financing Document (the “ Stated Rate ”) would exceed the highest rate of interest permitted under any applicable law to be charged (the “ Maximum Lawful Rate ”), then for so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided , however , that if at any time thereafter the Stated Rate is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, each Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law, continue to pay interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received is equal to the total interest which would have been received had the Stated Rate been (but for the operation of this provision) the interest rate payable. Thereafter, the interest rate payable shall be the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this provision shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender exceed the amount which it could lawfully have received had the interest been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If, notwithstanding the prior sentence, any Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Loans or to other amounts (other than interest) payable hereunder, and if no such principal or other amounts are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to Borrowers. In computing interest payable with reference to the Maximum Lawful Rate applicable to any Lender, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made.

Section 2.8 Taxes; Capital Adequacy .

(a) All payments of principal and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp, documentary, payroll, employment, property or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, levies, assessments, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever (including interest and penalties thereon) imposed by any taxing authority, excluding (1) taxes imposed on or measured by Agent’s or any Lender’s net income (however denominated), capital or net worth, branch profits taxes, and franchise taxes, in each case imposed by any jurisdiction (or subdivision thereof) under which Agent or such Lender is organized, conducts business (other than solely as the result of entering into any of the Financing Documents or taking any action thereunder) or, in the case of any Lender, in which its applicable lending office is located, (2) in the case of any Foreign Lender, any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Foreign Lender at the time such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or designates a new lending office (except to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.8, amounts with respect to such taxes were payable to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office), (3) in the case of any Lender that is not a Foreign Lender, any United States federal backup withholding tax and (4) taxes imposed under FATCA (all such excluded items, “ Excluded Taxes ”; all non-excluded items being called “ Taxes ”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by any Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable Law, then Borrowers will: (i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (ii) promptly forward to Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and (iii) pay to Agent for the account of Agent and Lenders such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Agent and each Lender will equal the full amount Agent and such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. If any Taxes are directly asserted against Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment received by Agent or such Lender hereunder, Agent or such Lender may pay such Taxes and Borrowers will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalty, interest or expense) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Taxes not been asserted so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date on which Agent or such Lender first made written demand therefor.

 

45


(b) If any Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Agent, for the account of Agent and the respective Lenders, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrowers shall indemnify Agent and Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

(c) Each Lender that is not U.S. person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code and (A) is a party hereto on the Closing Date or (B) purports to become an assignee of an interest as a Lender under this Agreement after the Closing Date (unless such Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment) (each such Lender a “ Foreign Lender ”) shall execute and deliver to each of Borrowers and Agent one or more (as Borrowers or Agent may reasonably request) United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY (as applicable) and other applicable forms, certificates or documents prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service or reasonably requested by Agent certifying as to such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from withholding or deduction of Taxes. Each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall (to the extent legally entitled to do so) provide updated forms to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date any prior form previously provided under this Section 2.8(c) becomes obsolete or expires, after the occurrence of an event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this Section 2.8(c) or from time to time if requested by Borrower or Agent. Each such Lender shall deliver to Agent and Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower or Agent) properly completed and executed originals of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from backup withholding. Borrowers shall not be required to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.8 with respect to United States deductions or withholding (or any additions to Tax, penalties or interest with respect thereto) and income Taxes to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for the failure of such Lender to comply with this paragraph other than solely as a result of a change in applicable Tax law. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender shall timely provide any documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent sufficient for Borrower and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender has complied with applicable reporting requirements under FATCA.

(d) If any Lender shall determine in its commercially reasonable judgment that the adoption or taking effect of, or any change in, any applicable Law regarding capital adequacy, in each instance, after the Closing Date, or any change after the Closing Date in the interpretation, administration or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation, administration or application thereof, or the compliance by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender with any request, guideline or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency adopted or otherwise taking effect after the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such adoption, taking effect, change, interpretation, administration, application or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) then from time to time, upon written demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to Agent), Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount as will compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is two hundred seventy (270)

 

46


days prior to the date on which such Lender first made demand therefor; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “change in applicable Law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(e) If any Lender requires compensation under Section 2.8(d), or requires any Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(a), then, upon the written request of Borrower Representative, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder (subject to the terms of this Agreement) to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or materially reduce amounts payable pursuant to any such subsection, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender (as determined in its sole discretion). Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(f) If Agent or a Lender determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has received a refund of any Taxes for which it has been indemnified or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.8(a), it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, under Section 2.8(a) with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay to Agent or such Lender the amount paid over to Borrower in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Agent or Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Agent or Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than the Agent or Lender would have been in if the tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Agent or Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

Section 2.9 Appointment of Borrower Representative .

(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Borrower Representative as its agent and attorney-in-fact to request and receive Loans in the name or on behalf of such Borrower and any other Borrowers, deliver Notices of Borrowing, and Borrowing Base Certificates, give instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Financing Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) in the name or on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and the other Financing Documents. Agent and Lenders may disburse the Loans to such bank account of Borrower Representative or a Borrower or otherwise make such Loans to a Borrower, in each case as Borrower Representative may designate or direct, without notice to any other Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent may at any time and from time to time require that Loans to or for the account of any Borrower be disbursed directly to an operating account of such Borrower.

 

47


(b) Borrower Representative hereby accepts the appointment by Borrowers to act as the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.9. Borrower Representative shall ensure that the disbursement of any Loans that are at any time requested by or to be remitted to or for the account of a Borrower, shall be remitted or issued to or for the account of such Borrower.

(c) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Borrower Representative as its agent to receive statements on account and all other notices from Agent and/or Lenders with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Financing Documents.

(d) Any notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking made or delivered by or on behalf of any Borrower by Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made or delivered by such Borrower, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if made or delivered directly by such Borrower.

(e) No resignation by or termination of the appointment of Borrower Representative as agent and attorney-in-fact as aforesaid shall be effective, except after ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent. If the Borrower Representative resigns under this Agreement, Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint a successor Borrower Representative (which shall be a Borrower and shall be reasonably acceptable to Agent as such successor). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Borrower Representative hereunder, such successor Borrower Representative shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Borrower Representative and the term “Borrower Representative” shall mean such successor Borrower Representative for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, and the retiring or terminated Borrower Representative’s appointment, powers and duties as Borrower Representative shall be thereupon terminated.

Section 2.10 Joint and Several Liability; Rights of Contribution; Subordination and Subrogation .

(a) Borrowers are defined collectively to include all Persons named as one of the Borrowers herein; provided, however , that any references herein to “any Borrower”, “each Borrower” or similar references, shall be construed as a reference to each individual Person named as one of the Borrowers herein. Each Person so named shall be jointly and severally liable for all of the obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement. Each Borrower, individually, expressly understands, agrees and acknowledges, that the credit facilities would not be made available on the terms herein in the absence of the collective credit of all of the Persons named as the Borrowers herein, the joint and several liability of all such Persons, and the cross-collateralization of the collateral of all such Persons. Accordingly, each Borrower individually acknowledges that the benefit to each of the Persons named as one of the Borrowers as a whole constitutes reasonably equivalent value, regardless of the amount of the credit facilities actually borrowed by, advanced to, or the amount of collateral provided by, any individual Borrower. In addition, each entity named as one of the Borrowers herein hereby acknowledges and agrees that all of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, conditions, agreements and other terms contained in this Agreement shall be applicable to and shall be binding upon and measured and enforceable individually against each Person named as one of the Borrowers herein as well as all such Persons when taken together. By way of illustration, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms of Section 10.1 of this Agreement are to be applied to each individual Person named as one of the Borrowers herein (as well as to all such Persons taken as a whole), such that the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 10.1 of this Agreement as to any Person named as one of the Borrowers herein shall constitute an Event of Default even if such event has not occurred as to any other Persons named as the Borrowers or as to all such Persons taken as a whole.

 

48


(b) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, it is intended that the joint and several nature of the liability of each Borrower for the Obligations and the Liens granted by Borrowers to secure the Obligations, not constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance (as defined below). Consequently, Agent, Lenders and each Borrower agree that if the liability of a Borrower for the Obligations, or any Liens granted by such Borrower securing the Obligations would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, the liability of such Borrower and the Liens securing such liability shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause such liability or such Lien to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and the liability of such Borrower and this Agreement shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly. For purposes hereof, the term “ Fraudulent Conveyance ” means a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of Title II of the Bankruptcy Code or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the applicable provisions of any fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or similar law of any state, nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from time to time.

(c) Agent is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (except as otherwise specifically required under this Agreement) and without affecting the liability of any Borrower hereunder, at any time and from time to time, to (i) renew, extend or otherwise increase the time for payment of the Obligations; (ii) with the written agreement of any Borrower, change the terms relating to the Obligations or otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of any Note or other agreement, document or instrument now or hereafter executed by any Borrower and delivered to Agent for any Lender; (iii) accept partial payments of the Obligations; (iv) take and hold any Collateral for the payment of the Obligations or for the payment of any guaranties of the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such Collateral; (v) apply any such Collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine; and (vi) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Obligations and any Collateral therefor in any manner, all guarantor and surety defenses being hereby waived by each Borrower. Without limitations of the foregoing, with respect to the Obligations, each Borrower hereby makes and adopts each of the agreements and waivers set forth in each Guarantee, the same being incorporated hereby by reference. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, Agent shall have the exclusive right to determine the time and manner of application of any payments or credits, whether received from any Borrower or any other source, and such determination shall be binding on all Borrowers. All such payments and credits may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to any of the Obligations that Agent shall determine, in its sole discretion, without affecting the validity or enforceability of the Obligations of the other Borrower.

(d) Each Borrower hereby agrees that, except as hereinafter provided, its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of (i) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any obligor or other action to enforce the same; (ii) the waiver or consent by Agent with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations, or any part thereof, or any other agreement heretofore, now or hereafter executed by a Borrower and delivered to Agent; (iii) failure by Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations; (iv) the institution of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar proceeding, by or against a Borrower or Agent’s election in any such proceeding of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (v) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by a Borrower as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (vi) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of Agent’s claim(s) for repayment of any of the Obligations; or (vii) any other circumstance other than payment in full of the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety.

(e) Borrowers hereby agree, as between themselves, that to the extent that Agent, on behalf of Lenders, shall have received from any Borrower any Recovery Amount (as defined below), then the paying Borrower shall have a right of contribution against each other Borrower in an amount equal to such other Borrower’s contributive share of such Recovery Amount; provided, however , that in the event any Borrower suffers a Deficiency Amount (as defined below), then the Borrower suffering the Deficiency Amount shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the other Borrowers in an amount equal to the Deficiency Amount; and provided, further , that in no event shall the aggregate amounts so reimbursed by reason of the contribution of any Borrower equal or exceed an amount that would, if paid, constitute or result in Fraudulent Conveyance. Until all Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full, no payment made by or for the account of a Borrower including (i) a payment made by such Borrower on behalf of the liabilities of any other Borrower, or (ii) a payment made by any other Guarantor under any Guarantee, shall entitle such Borrower, by subrogation or otherwise, to any payment from such other Borrower or from or out of such other Borrower’s property. The right of each Borrower to receive any contribution under this Section 2.10(e) or by subrogation or otherwise from any other Borrower shall be subordinate in right of payment to the Obligations and such Borrower shall not exercise any right or remedy against such other Borrower or any property of such other Borrower by reason of any performance of such Borrower of its joint and several obligations hereunder, until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, and no Borrower shall exercise any right or remedy with respect to this Section 2.10(e) until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full. As used in this Section 2.10(e), the term “Recovery Amount” means the amount of proceeds received by or credited to Agent from the exercise of any remedy of the Lenders under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, including the sale of any Collateral. As used in this Section 2.10(e), the term “Deficiency Amount” means any amount that is less than the entire amount a Borrower is entitled to receive by way of contribution or subrogation from, but that has not been paid by, the other Borrowers in respect of any Recovery Amount attributable to the Borrower entitled to contribution, until the Deficiency Amount has been reduced to Zero Dollars ($0) through contributions and reimbursements made under the terms of this Section 2.10(e) or otherwise.

Section  2.11 Collections and Lockbox Account . Upon and after the Initial Third Party Agent Commencement Date and at all times thereafter (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Agent during any Non-Third Party Agent Retention Period):

(a) Borrowers shall maintain a lockbox (the “ Lockbox ”) with a United States depository institution designated from time to time by Agent (the “ Lockbox Bank ”), subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and prior the end of the Lockbox Post-Closing Period shall execute with the Lockbox Bank a Deposit Account Control Agreement and such other agreements related to such Lockbox as Agent may require. Borrowers shall have directed each Account Debtor to make payments in respect of the Accounts (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all collections of Accounts are paid directly from such Account Debtors) (i) into the Lockbox for deposit into the Lockbox Account and/or (ii) directly into the Lockbox Account; provided, however , unless Agent shall otherwise direct by written notice to Borrowers, Borrowers shall be permitted to cause Account Debtors who are individuals to pay Accounts directly to Borrowers, which Borrowers shall then administer and apply in the manner required below. All funds deposited into a Lockbox Account shall be transferred into the Payment Account by the close of each Business Day. During the Lockbox Post-Closing Period, Borrower shall ensure that an irrevocable standing wire instruction pursuant to which the Lockbox Bank agrees to transfer all funds from the Lockbox Account into the Payment Account at the end of each Business Day is in place.

(b) Reserved.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in any lockbox agreement or Deposit Account Control Agreement to the contrary, Borrowers agree that they shall be liable for any fees and charges in effect from time to time and charged by the Lockbox Bank in connection with the Lockbox, the Lockbox Account, and that Agent shall have no liability therefor. Borrowers hereby indemnify and agree to hold Agent harmless from any and all liabilities, claims, losses and demands whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising from or relating to actions of Agent or the Lockbox Bank pursuant to this Section or any lockbox agreement or Deposit Account Control Agreement or similar agreement, except to the extent of such losses arising from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

50


(d) Agent shall apply, on a daily basis, all funds transferred into the Payment Account pursuant to this Section 2.11 to reduce the outstanding Revolving Loans in such order of application as Agent shall elect. If as the result of collections of Accounts pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section, a credit balance exists with respect to the Loan Account, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers, but Agent shall transfer such funds into an account designated by Borrower Representative for so long as no Event of Default exists.

(e) To the extent that any collections of Accounts or proceeds from the disposition of other Collateral that is included in the Borrowing Base are not sent directly to the Lockbox or Lockbox Account but are received by any Borrower, such collections shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent pursuant to an express trust created hereby immediately remitted, in the form received, to applicable Lockbox or Lockbox Account. No such funds received by any Borrower shall be commingled with other funds of the Borrowers. If any funds received by any Borrower are commingled with other funds of the Borrowers, or are required to be deposited to a Lockbox or Lockbox Account and are not so deposited within five (5) Business Days, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for its own account and not for the account of any other Lenders, a compliance fee equal to $500 for each day that any such conditions exist.

(f) Borrowers acknowledge and agree that compliance with the terms of this Section is essential, and that Agent and Lenders will suffer immediate and irreparable injury and have no adequate remedy at law, if any Borrower, through acts or omissions, causes or permits Account Debtors to send payments other than to the Lockbox or Lockbox Accounts or if any Borrower fails to promptly deposit collections of Accounts or proceeds of other Collateral in the Lockbox Account as herein required. Accordingly, in addition to all other rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders hereunder, Agent shall have the right to seek specific performance of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Section, and any other equitable relief as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate, and Borrowers waive any requirement for the posting of a bond in connection with such equitable relief.

(g) Borrowers shall not, and Borrowers shall not suffer or permit any Credit Party to, (i) withdraw any amounts from any Lockbox Account, (ii) change the procedures or sweep instructions under the agreements governing any Lockbox Accounts, or (iii) send to or deposit in any Lockbox Account any funds other than payments made with respect to and proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral. Borrowers shall, and shall cause each Credit Party to, cooperate with Agent in the identification and reconciliation on a daily basis of all amounts received in or required to be deposited into the Lockbox Accounts. If more than five percent (5%) of the collections of Accounts received by Borrowers during any given fifteen (15) day period is not identified or reconciled to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent within ten (10) Business Days of receipt, Agent shall not be obligated to make further advances under this Agreement until such amount is identified or is reconciled to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent, as the case may be. In addition, if any such amount cannot be identified or reconciled to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent, Agent may utilize its own staff or, if it deems necessary (or if Agent has any concerns with obtaining material nonpublic information by utilizing its own staff, engage an outside auditor, in either case at Borrowers’ expense (which in the case of Agent’s own staff charges shall be in accordance with Agent’s good faith business judgment ( plus expenses)), to make such examination and report as may be necessary to identify and reconcile such amount.

(h) If any Borrower breaches its obligation to direct payments of the proceeds of the Collateral to the Lockbox Account, Agent, as the irrevocably made, constituted and appointed true and lawful attorney for Borrowers, may, by the signature or other act of any of Agent’s authorized representatives (without requiring any of them to do so), direct any Account Debtor to pay proceeds of the Collateral to Borrowers by directing payment to the Lockbox Account.

Section 2.12 Termination; Restriction on Termination .

(a) Termination by Lenders . In addition to the rights set forth in Section 10.2, Agent may, and at the direction of Required Lenders shall, terminate this Agreement without notice upon or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(b) Termination by Borrowers . Upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period to which Agent may agree in its discretion) and pursuant to payoff documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Lenders, Borrowers may, at its option, terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that no such termination shall be effective until Borrowers have paid all fees required pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2 in immediately available funds. Any notice of termination given by Borrowers shall be irrevocable unless (i) all Lenders otherwise agree in writing and no Lender shall have any obligation to make any Loans on or after the termination date stated in such notice or (ii) Borrowers indicate to Lender that, in connection with any equity or debt financing or change of control, that such financing or change of control has been delayed, in which case Borrowers shall provide a new date for such termination. Borrowers may elect to terminate this Agreement in its entirety only. No section of this Agreement or type of Loan available hereunder may be terminated singly.

(c) Effectiveness of Termination . All of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) shall be immediately due and payable upon the Termination Date. All undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of Borrowers contained in the Financing Documents shall survive any such termination and Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and Agent and each Lender shall retain all of its rights and remedies under the Financing Documents notwithstanding such termination until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been discharged or paid, in full, in immediately available funds, including all Obligations under Section 2.2(g), resulting from such termination; provided that upon such payment in full this Agreement will automatically terminate and all Collateral shall be automatically released from the security interest created hereunder and under the other Financing Documents without any further action by any party. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the payment in full of the Obligations, Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens in the Collateral unless, with respect to any loss or damage Agent may incur as a result of dishonored checks or other items of payment received by Agent from Borrower or any Account Debtor and applied to the Obligations, Agent shall (i) have received a written agreement satisfactory to Agent, executed by Borrowers and by any Person whose loans or other advances to Borrowers are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying Agent and each Lender from any such loss or damage or (ii) have retained cash Collateral or other Collateral for such period of time as Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may deem necessary to protect Agent and each Lender from any such loss or damage.

(d) Partial Collateral Release . In respect of Collateral that is disposed of in a manner permitted hereunder, the security interest in such Collateral (but not in respect of Collateral not so disposed of) shall be automatically terminated upon such disposition without any further action by any party.

(e) Actions by Agent . Without limiting the foregoing clauses (a)-(d), Agent will, at the sole expense of Borrower, take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Borrower to evidence any of the foregoing releases set forth in clauses (c) and (d) above (including duly assigning, transferring and delivering to or at the direction of Borrower (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as may then be in the possession of Agent, together with any monies at the time held by Agent hereunder, and executing and delivering to Borrower a proper instrument or instruments, as reasonably requested, acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement (in the case of clause (c) above) and the release of Liens hereunder and under the other Financing Documents.

The accounting firm that expressed its opinion with respect to the consolidated financial statements included in Endologix’s most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K, and reviewed the consolidated financial statements included in Endologix’s most recently filed quarterly report on Form 10-Q, was independent of Endologix pursuant to the standards set forth in Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC and as required by the applicable rules and guidance from the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), and such firm was otherwise qualified to render such opinion under applicable Law and the rules and regulations of the SEC. There is no transaction, arrangement or other relationship between Endologix (or any of its Subsidiaries) and an unconsolidated or other off-balance-sheet Person that is required to be disclosed by Endologix in the SEC Documents that has not been so disclosed in the SEC Documents. Neither Endologix nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to file or will be required to file any agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other instrument entered into prior to the date this representation is made and to which Endologix or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which Endologix or any of its Subsidiaries is bound that has not been previously filed as an exhibit (including by way of incorporation by reference) to Endologix’s reports filed or made with the SEC under the Exchange Act. Other than (i) the liabilities assumed or created pursuant to this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and any fees and expenses in connection therewith, (ii) liabilities accrued for in the latest balance sheet included in Endologix’s most recent periodic report (on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K) filed prior to the date this representation is made (the date of such balance sheet, the “ Latest Balance Sheet Date ”), (iii) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice since the later of the (A) Closing Date and (B) the Latest Balance Sheet Date, and (iv) liabilities set forth on the Schedules to this Agreement, Endologix and its Subsidiaries do not have any other material liabilities (whether fixed or unfixed, known or unknown, absolute or contingent, asserted or unasserted, choate or inchoate, liquidated or unliquidated, or secured or unsecured, and regardless of when any action, claim, suit or proceeding with respect thereto is instituted). Since December 31, 2016, there has been no Material Adverse Effect or any event or circumstance which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All financial performance projections delivered to Agent or any Lender,

 

58


including the financial performance projections delivered on or prior to the Closing Date, if any, represent Endologix’s and its Subsidiaries’ good faith estimate of future financial performance and are based on assumptions believed by Endologix and its Subsidiaries to be fair and reasonable in light of current market conditions, it being acknowledged and agreed by Agent and the Lenders that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections may differ from the projected results and such differences may be material.

Upon any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries becoming aware that any information in any Borrowing Base Certificate previously delivered to Agent (or any Third Party Agent, as applicable) or any Lender is inaccurate, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect, such Credit Parties shall (and shall cause their Subsidiaries to) (y) during any Non-Third Party Agent Retention Period, notify Agent in writing, and upon one (1) Business Day’s request by Agent thereafter, deliver to Agent an updated Borrowing Base Certificate (Agent) with such accurate, correct, complete and non-misleading information included therein (and to the extent such prior inaccurate, incorrect, incomplete or misleading information from the Borrowing Base Certificate (Agent) was included or filed with a 10-Q or 10-K, then, at Agent’s request, such information shall be filed by Endologix with the SEC in a Form 8-K) and (z) during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, deliver to the Third Party Agent an updated Borrowing Base Certificate (Third Party Agent) with such accurate, correct, complete and non-misleading information included therein (and to the extent such prior inaccurate, incorrect, incomplete or misleading information from the Borrowing Base Certificate (Third Party Agent) was included or filed with a 10-Q or 10-K, then, at Third Party Agent’s request, such information shall be filed by Endologix with the SEC in a Form 8-K).

Section  4.4 Maintenance of Property; Insurance .

(a) Each Borrower will keep, and will cause each Subsidiary to keep, all material tangible property useful and necessary in its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and casualty events excepted; and make all necessary repairs and/or restore the affected property in a good and workmanlike manner, regardless of whether Agent agrees to disburse insurance proceeds or other sums to pay costs of the work of repair or reconstruction, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Upon completion of any Permitted Contest, Borrowers shall, and will cause each Subsidiary to, promptly pay the amount due, if any, and deliver to Agent proof of the completion of the contest and payment of the amount due, if any.

(c) Each Borrower will maintain (i) casualty insurance on all real and personal property on an all risks basis (including the perils of flood (if applicable), windstorm and quake), covering the repair and replacement cost of all such property and coverage, business interruption and rent loss coverages with extended period of indemnity (for the period required by Agent from time to time) and indemnity for extra expense, in each case without application of coinsurance and with agreed amount endorsements, (ii) general and professional liability insurance (including products/completed operations liability coverage), and (iii) such other insurance coverage, in each case against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, of such types and in such amounts as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons. All such insurance shall be provided by insurers having an A.M. Best policyholders rating reasonably acceptable to Agent.

(d) On or prior to the Closing Date, and at all times thereafter, each Borrower will cause Agent to be named as an additional insured, assignee and lender loss payee (which shall include, as applicable, identification as mortgagee), as applicable, on each insurance policy required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 4.4 pursuant to endorsements in form and substance acceptable to Agent.

This insurance may, but need not, protect such Borrower’s interests.

Such Borrower may later cancel any insurance purchased by Agent, but only after providing Agent with evidence that such Borrower has obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Agent purchases insurance for the Collateral, Borrowers will be responsible for the costs of that insurance to the fullest extent provided by law, including interest and other charges imposed by Agent in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the Obligations. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance such Borrower is able to obtain on its own.

Section  4.5 Compliance with Laws and Material Contracts . Each Borrower will comply, and cause each Subsidiary to comply, with the requirements of all applicable Laws and Material Contracts, except to the extent that failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to (a) have a Material Adverse Effect, or (b) result in any Lien upon either (i) a material portion of the assets of any such Person in favor of any Governmental Authority, or (ii) any Collateral which is part of the Borrowing Base.

(iii) Borrowers shall promptly advise, subject to (other than, with respect to the Third Party Agent, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period) Section 4.19, Agent upon any Borrower becoming aware that it has any interests in any commercial tort claim that constitutes part of the Collateral, which such notice shall include descriptions of the events and circumstances giving rise to such commercial tort claim and the dates such events and circumstances occurred, the potential defendants with respect such commercial tort claim and any court proceedings that have been instituted with respect to such commercial tort claims, and Borrowers shall, with respect to any such commercial tort claim, execute and deliver to Agent such documents as Agent shall request to perfect, preserve or protect the Liens, rights and remedies of Agent with respect to any such commercial tort claim.

(iv) Except for Accounts and Inventory in an aggregate amount of $500,000, no Accounts or Inventory or other Collateral and no books and records and/or software and equipment of the Borrowers regarding any of the Collateral or any of the Borrower’s assets, liabilities, business operations or financial condition shall at any time be located at any leased location or in the possession or control of any warehouse, consignee, bailee or any of Borrowers’ agents or processors, without prior written notice to Agent and the receipt by Agent, of warehouse receipts, consignment agreements, landlord waivers, or bailee waivers (as applicable) satisfactory to Agent prior to the commencement of such lease or of such possession or control (as applicable) (it being understood and agreed that from time to time Credit Parties may (1) sell assets in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (2) maintain de minimis amounts of Inventory with its sales personnel and at medical facilities, and (3) send items of Collateral out for repair and that from time to time certain items of Collateral will be in transit).

Upon request of Agent, Borrowers shall promptly deliver to Agent any and all certificates of title, applications for title or similar evidence of ownership of all such tangible Personal Property with a value greater than $250,000 and shall cause Agent to be named as lienholder on any such certificate of title or other evidence of ownership. Borrowers shall not permit any tangible Personal Property included in the Borrowing Base to become fixtures to real estate unless such real estate is subject to a Lien in favor of Agent.

(vi) Each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent and its representatives, agents, subagents and attorneys and any Third Party Agent to file without the signature of such Borrower one or more UCC financing statements relating to liens on personal property relating to all or any part of the Collateral, which financing statements may list Agent as the “secured party” and such

 

84


Borrower as the “debtor” and which describe and indicate the collateral covered thereby as all or any part of the Collateral under the Financing Documents (including an indication of the collateral covered by any such financing statement as “all assets” (or similar language) of such Borrower now owned or hereafter acquired), in such jurisdictions as Agent from time to time determines are appropriate, and to file without the signature of such Borrower any continuations of or corrective amendments to any such financing statements, in any such case in order for Agent to perfect, preserve or protect the Liens, rights and remedies of Agent with respect to the Collateral. Each Borrower also ratifies its authorization for Agent and its representatives, agents, subagents and attorneys and any Third Party Agent to have filed in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

(vii) As of the Closing Date, except as set forth on Schedule 9.2(vii) , no Borrower holds, and after the Closing Date Borrowers shall update such schedule on a quarterly basis in respect of, any Collateral which constitutes a claim against any Governmental Authority (other than in respect of the Account Debtors listed on Schedule 9.2(vii) ), including the federal government of the United States or any instrumentality or agency thereof, the assignment of which claim is restricted by any applicable Law, including the federal Assignment of Claims Act and any other comparable Law. Upon the reasonable request of Agent, Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take the actions reasonably requested by Agent to comply with any such applicable Law.

(viii) Subject to (other than, with respect to the Third Party Agent, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period) Section 4.19, Borrowers shall furnish to Agent from time to time any statements and schedules further identifying or describing the Collateral and any other information, reports or evidence concerning the Collateral as Agent may reasonably request from time to time.

(h) Solely for the purpose of enabling Agent (for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders) to exercise rights and remedies upon an Event of Default (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral), each Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Borrower) including in such license the right to use, practice, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Borrower, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, and (ii) an irrevocable license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Borrower) to use, operate and occupy all real estate owned, operated, leased, subleased or otherwise occupied by such Borrower; provided, in each case, that no such licenses shall be granted with respect to any Excluded Property.

Section 10.3 UCC Remedies .

(a) Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, Agent, in addition to all other rights, options, and remedies granted to Agent under this Agreement or at law or in equity, may exercise, either directly or through one or more assignees or designees, all rights and remedies granted to it under all Financing Documents and under the UCC in effect in the applicable jurisdiction(s) and under any other applicable law; including:

(i) the right to take possession of, send notices regarding, and collect directly the Collateral, with or without judicial process;

(ii) the right to (by its own means or with judicial assistance) enter any of Borrowers’ premises and take possession of the Collateral, or render it unusable, or to render it usable or saleable, or dispose of the Collateral on such premises in compliance with subsection (iii) below and to take possession of Borrowers’ original books and records, to obtain access to Borrowers’ data processing equipment, computer hardware and software relating to the Collateral and to use all of the foregoing and the information contained therein in any manner Agent deems appropriate, without any liability for rent, storage, utilities, or other sums, and Borrowers shall not resist or interfere with such action (if Borrowers’ books and records are prepared or maintained by an accounting service, contractor or other third party agent, Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize such service, contractor or other agent, upon notice by Agent to such Person that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to deliver to Agent or its designees such books and records, and to follow Agent’s instructions with respect to further services to be rendered);

(iii) the right to require Borrowers at Borrowers’ expense to assemble all or any part of the Collateral and make it available to Agent at any place designated by Lender;

(iv) the right to notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery of Borrowers’ mail to an address designated by Agent and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Borrower; and/or

Borrowers shall cooperate fully with Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude such verification process. Such verification may include contacts between Agent and applicable federal, state and local regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Borrowers’ affairs, all of which contacts Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize.

 

89


(b) Each Borrower agrees that a notice received by it at least ten (10) days before the time of any intended public sale, or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. If permitted by applicable law, any perishable Collateral which threatens to speedily decline in value or which is sold on a recognized market may be sold immediately by Agent without prior notice to Borrowers. At any sale or disposition of Collateral, Agent may (to the extent permitted by applicable law) purchase all or any part of the Collateral, free from any right of redemption by Borrowers, which right is hereby waived and released. Each Borrower covenants and agrees not to interfere with or impose any obstacle to Agent’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral. Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. Agent may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrowers will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Agent and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Agent may resell the Collateral and Borrowers shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale. Borrowers shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Obligations.

(c) Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, each Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Agent its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution in the Collateral, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to (i) use unadvanced funds remaining under this Agreement or which may be reserved, escrowed or set aside for any purposes hereunder at any time, or to advance funds in excess of the face amount of the Notes, (ii) pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims, which may be Liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming Liens against the Collateral, (iii) execute all applications and certificates in the name of such Borrower and to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Collateral, and (iv) do any and every act which such Borrower might do in its own behalf; it being understood and agreed that this power of attorney in this subsection (c) shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

(d) Solely for the purpose of enabling Agent (for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders) to exercise remedies upon an Event of Default (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral), Agent and each Lender is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrowers’ labels, mask works, rights of use of any name, any other Intellectual Property and advertising matter, and any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Article, Borrowers’ rights under all licenses (whether as licensor or licensee) (unless constituting Excluded Property) and all franchise agreements inure to Agent’s and each Lender’s benefit.

Section 10.4 Reserved.

Section  10.5 Default Rate of Interest . At the election of Agent or Required Lenders, after the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as it continues, the Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest at rates that are two percent (2.0%) per annum in excess of the rates otherwise payable under this Agreement; provided, however , that in the case of any Event of Default specified in Section 10.1(e) or 10.1(f) above, such default rates shall apply immediately and automatically without the need for any election or action of any kind on the part of Agent or any Lender. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, the Maximum Cumulative Rate Provision is not applicable to this Section 10.5 (or any rate set forth herein).

 

90


Section  10.6 Setoff Rights . During the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by each Borrower at any time or from time to time, with reasonably prompt subsequent notice to such Borrower (any prior or contemporaneous notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all (a) balances held by such Lender or any of such Lender’s Affiliates at any of its offices for the account of such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Borrower or its Subsidiaries), and (b) other property at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or for the account of such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, against and on account of any of the Obligations; except that no Lender shall exercise any such right without the prior written consent of Agent. Any Lender exercising a right to set off shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell) interests in each of such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause all Lenders to share the amount so set off with each other Lender in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share of the Obligations. Each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender and any of such Lender’s Affiliates may exercise its right to set off with respect to the Obligations as provided in this Section 10.6.

Section 10.7 Application of Proceeds .

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times thereafter received by Agent from or on behalf of such Borrower or any Guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and, as between Borrowers on the one hand and Agent and Lenders on the other, Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received against the Obligations in such manner as Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous application by Agent.

(b) Following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, but absent the occurrence and continuance of an Acceleration Event, Agent shall apply any and all payments received by Agent in respect of the Obligations, and any and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, in such order as Agent may from time to time elect.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if an Acceleration Event shall have occurred, and so long as it continues, Agent shall apply any and all payments received by Agent in respect of the Obligations, and any and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, in the following order: first , to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to Agent with respect to this Agreement, the other Financing Documents or the Collateral; second , to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to any Lender with respect to this Agreement, the other Financing Documents or the Collateral; third , to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts); fourth , to the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding; and fifth to any other indebtedness or obligations of Borrowers owing to Agent or any Lender under the Financing Documents. Any balance remaining shall be delivered to Borrowers or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In carrying out the foregoing, (y) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category, and (z) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category.

 

91


Section 10.8 Waivers .

(a) Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower waives: (i) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all Financing Documents, the Notes or any other notes, commercial paper, accounts, contracts, documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper and Guarantees at any time held by Lenders on which any Borrower may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lenders may do in this regard; (ii) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Agent’s or any Lender’s taking possession or control of, or to Agent’s or any Lender’s replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing Agent or any Lender to exercise any of its remedies; and (iii) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption Laws. Each Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choices and decisions with respect to this Agreement, the other Financing Documents and the transactions evidenced hereby and thereby.

(b) Each Borrower for itself and all its successors and assigns, (i) agrees that its liability shall not be in any manner affected by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver, or modification granted or consented to by Lender; (ii) consents to any indulgences and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Agent or any Lender with respect to the payment or other provisions of the Financing Documents, and to any substitution, exchange or release of the Collateral, or any part thereof, with or without substitution, and agrees to the addition or release of any Borrower, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties, or whether primarily or secondarily liable, without notice to any other Borrower and without affecting its liability hereunder; (iii) agrees that its liability shall be unconditional and without regard to the liability of any other Borrower, Agent or any Lender for any tax on the indebtedness; and (iv) to the fullest extent permitted by law, expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing.

(c) To the extent that Agent or any Lender may have acquiesced in any noncompliance with any requirements or conditions precedent to the closing of the Loans or to any subsequent disbursement of Loan proceeds, such acquiescence shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by Agent or any Lender of such requirements with respect to any future disbursements of Loan proceeds and Agent may at any time after such acquiescence require Borrowers to comply with all such requirements. Any forbearance by Agent or Lender in exercising any right or remedy under any of the Financing Documents, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, including any failure to accelerate the maturity date of the Loans, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy nor shall it serve as a novation of the Notes or as a reinstatement of the Loans or a waiver of such right of acceleration or the right to insist upon strict compliance of the terms of the Financing Documents. Agent’s or any Lender’s acceptance of payment of any sum secured by any of the Financing Documents after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of Agent’s and such Lender’s right to either require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a default for failure to make prompt payment. The procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other Liens or charges by Agent as the result of an Event of Default shall not be a waiver of Agent’s right to accelerate the maturity of the Loans, nor shall Agent’s receipt of any condemnation awards, insurance proceeds, or damages under this Agreement operate to cure or waive any Credit Party’s default in payment of sums secured by any of the Financing Documents.

(d) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, each Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Agent and Lenders shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Agent or Lenders shall remain in full force and effect until Agent or Lenders have exhausted all remedies against the Collateral and any other properties owned by Borrowers and the Financing Documents and other security instruments or agreements securing the Loans have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of Borrowers’ obligations under the Financing Documents or until indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations for which no claim has been asserted).

(e) Nothing contained herein or in any other Financing Document shall be construed as requiring Agent or any Lender to resort to any part of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of Borrowers’ obligations under the Financing Documents in preference or priority to any other Collateral, and Agent may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of Borrowers’ obligations under the Financing Documents. In addition, Agent shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose upon any Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Financing Documents then due and payable as determined by Agent in its sole discretion if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, including the following circumstances: (i) in the event any Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and/or interest, Agent may foreclose upon all or any part of the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Agent elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loans, Agent may foreclose all or any part of the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loans as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by one or more of the Financing Documents as Agent may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, any unforeclosed Collateral shall remain subject to the Financing Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Financing Documents and not previously recovered.

(f) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral any equitable right otherwise available to any Credit Party which would require the separate sale of any of the Collateral or require Agent or Lenders to exhaust their remedies against any part of the Collateral before proceeding against any other part of the Collateral; and further in the event of such foreclosure each Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Agent, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of each part of the Collateral.

Section  10.9 Injunctive Relief . The parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any Credit Party’s obligations under any Financing Documents, Agent and Lenders may have no adequate remedy in money damages and, accordingly, shall be entitled to an injunction (including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, writ of attachment, or order compelling an audit) against such breach or threatened breach, including maintaining any cash management and collection procedure described herein. However, no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal or equitable remedy shall be construed as a waiver or prohibition against any other legal or equitable remedies in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement. Each Credit Party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the requirement of the posting of any bond in connection with such injunctive relief. By joining in the Financing Documents as a Credit Party, each Credit Party specifically joins in this Section as if this Section were a part of each Financing Document executed by such Credit Party.

Section  10.10 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside . Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrower makes any payment or Agent enforces its Liens or Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or required to be repaid by anyone, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.

Section  10.11 Credit Bidding . The Credit Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent based upon the written instruction of the Lenders, to (a) credit bid and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Credit Party is subject, or (b) credit bid and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to any Lender shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims being estimated for such purpose if the fixing or liquidation thereof would not unduly delay the ability of Agent to credit bid and purchase at such sale or other disposition of the Collateral and, if such claims cannot be estimated without unduly delaying the ability of Agent to credit bid, then such claims shall be disregarded, not credit bid, and not entitled to any interest in the asset or assets purchased by means of such credit bid) and the Lenders whose Obligations are credit bid shall be entitled to receive interests (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Stock of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). Except as provided above and otherwise expressly provided for herein or in the other Financing Documents, Agent will not execute nor deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral. Upon request by Agent or the Borrower Representative at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.11.

ARTICLE 11 - AGENT

Section  11.1 Appointment and Authorization . Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent (including any Third Party Agent) to enter into each of the Financing Documents to which it is a party (other than this Agreement) on its behalf and to take such actions as Agent (or such Third Party Agent) on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Financing Documents as are delegated to Agent (or such Third Party Agent) by the terms thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Subject to the terms of Section 11.16 and to the terms of the other Financing Documents, Agent is authorized and empowered to amend, modify, or waive any provisions of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents on behalf of Lenders. The provisions of this Article 11 are solely for the benefit of Agent (including any Third Party Agent) and Lenders and neither any Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Agent (and any Third Party Agent) shall act solely as agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Borrower or any other Credit Party. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Financing Documents, by or through its agents, subagents, servicers, trustees, investment managers or employees or any Third Party Agent.

Section  11.2 Agent and Affiliates . Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Financing Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not Agent, and Agent and its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in and generally engage in any kind of business with each Credit Party or Affiliate of any Credit Party as if it were not Agent hereunder.

 

94


Section  11.3 Action by Agent . The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

Section  11.4 Consultation with Experts . Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section  11.5 Liability of Agent . Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, subagents, trustees, investment managers, servicers or employees shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Financing Documents, except that Agent shall be liable with respect to its specific duties set forth hereunder but only to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in the discharge thereof as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, subagents, trustees, investment managers, servicers or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Financing Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements specified in any Financing Document; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in any Financing Document; (d) the validity, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Financing Document, any Lien purported to be created or perfected thereby or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (e) the existence or non-existence of any Default or Event of Default; or (f) the financial condition of any Credit Party. Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, facsimile or electronic transmission or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them).

Section  11.6 Indemnification . Each Lender shall, in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers) upon demand against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) that Agent may suffer or incur in connection with the Financing Documents or any action taken or omitted by Agent hereunder or thereunder. If any indemnity furnished to Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so directed by Required Lenders until such additional indemnity is furnished.

Section  11.7 Right to Request and Act on Instructions . Agent may at any time request instructions from Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Financing Documents Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Financing Documents until it shall have received such instructions from Required Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against

 

95


Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding the instructions of Required Lenders (or such other applicable portion of the Lenders), Agent shall have no obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action would violate applicable Law or exposes Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6.

Section  11.8 Credit Decision . Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Financing Documents.

Section  11.9 Collateral Matters . Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to (a) release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Security Document (i) upon termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment and payment in full of all Obligations; or (ii) constituting property sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted under any Financing Document (it being understood and agreed that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in full compliance with the provisions of the Financing Documents); and (b) subordinate any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Security Document to a Permitted Lien that is allowed to have priority over the Liens granted to or held by Agent pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Liens”. Upon request by Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm Agent’s authority to release and/or subordinate particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.9.

Section  11.10 Agency for Perfection . Agent and each Lender hereby appoint each other Lender and any Third Party Agent as agent for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than Agent) obtain possession or control of any such assets, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions or transfer control to Agent in accordance with Agent’s instructions. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Security Document or to realize upon any Collateral for the Loan unless instructed to do so by Agent (or consented to by Agent), it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Agent.

Section  11.11 Notice of Default . Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) in accordance with the terms hereof. Unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of Lenders.

 

96


Section 11.12 Assignment by Agent; Resignation of Agent; Successor Agent .

(a) Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders (or such lesser period agreed to by the Required Lenders). If Agent resigns under this Agreement, Agent may appoint, with the consent of the Required Lenders, a successor Agent. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, the Required Lenders may appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders or may appoint another Person as a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days (or such lesser period agreed to by the Required Lenders) following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder (and all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly) until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.

(b) Upon (i) an assignment permitted by subsection (a) above, or (ii) the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent pursuant to subsection (a) above, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 11.12). The fees payable by Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent and its agents and subagents and its Third Party Agents in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting or was continuing to act as Agent.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Financing Documents, any Third Party Agent that becomes the Agent and any delegation, assignment or other transfer of duties, responsibilities or rights of Agent to any Third Party Agent, in each case, does not require the consent of any Person (other than Agent) and shall be permitted at all times under the Financing Documents.

Section 11.13 Payment and Sharing of Payment .

(a) Revolving Loan Advances, Payments and Settlements; Interest and Fee Payments .

(i) Agent shall have the right (but not an obligation), on behalf of Revolving Lenders, to disburse funds to Borrowers for all Revolving Loans requested or deemed requested by Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Agent shall be conclusively entitled to assume, for purposes of the preceding sentence, that each Revolving Lender, other than any Non-Funding Lenders, will fund its Pro Rata Share of all Revolving Loans requested by Borrowers. Each Revolving Lender shall reimburse Agent on demand, in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following paragraph, for all funds disbursed on its behalf by Agent pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (i), or if Agent so requests, each Revolving Lender will remit to Agent its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loan before Agent disburses the same to a Borrower. If Agent elects to require that each Revolving Lender make funds available to Agent, prior to a disbursement by Agent to a Borrower, Agent shall advise each Revolving Lender by telephone, facsimile or e-mail of the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan requested

 

97


by such Borrower no later than noon (Eastern time) on the date of funding of such Revolving Loan, and each such Revolving Lender shall pay Agent on such date such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such requested Revolving Loan, in same day funds, by wire transfer to the Payment Account, or such other account as may be identified by Agent to Revolving Lenders from time to time. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share of any funds advanced by Agent pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (i) within one (1) Business Day after Agent’s demand, Agent shall promptly notify Borrower Representative, and Borrowers shall immediately repay such amount to Agent. Any repayment required by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 11.13 shall be accompanied by accrued interest thereon from and including the date such amount is made available to a Borrower to but excluding the date of payment at the rate of interest then applicable to Revolving Loans. Nothing in this Section 11.13 or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Financing Documents shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Agent or any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(ii) On a Business Day of each week as selected from time to time by Agent, or more frequently (including daily), if Agent so elects (each such day being a “ Settlement Date ”), Agent will advise each Revolving Lender by telephone, facsimile or e-mail of the amount of each such Revolving Lender’s percentage interest of the Revolving Loan balance as of the close of business of the Business Day immediately preceding the Settlement Date. In the event that payments are necessary to adjust the amount of such Revolving Lender’s actual percentage interest of the Revolving Loans to such Lender’s required percentage interest of the Revolving Loan balance as of any Settlement Date, the Revolving Lender from which such payment is due shall pay Agent, without setoff or discount, to the Payment Account before 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Business Day following the Settlement Date the full amount necessary to make such adjustment. Any obligation arising pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever. In the event settlement shall not have occurred by the date and time specified in the second preceding sentence, interest shall accrue on the unsettled amount at the rate of interest then applicable to Revolving Loans.

(iii) On each Settlement Date, Agent shall advise each Revolving Lender by telephone, facsimile or e-mail of the amount of such Revolving Lender’s percentage interest of principal, interest and fees paid for the benefit of Revolving Lenders with respect to each applicable Revolving Loan, to the extent of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Exposure with respect thereto, and shall make payment to such Revolving Lender before 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Business Day following the Settlement Date of such amounts in accordance with wire instructions delivered by such Revolving Lender to Agent, as the same may be modified from time to time by written notice to Agent; provided, however, that, in the case such Revolving Lender is a Defaulted Lender, Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding short-fall against that Defaulted Lender’s respective share of all payments received from any Borrower.

(iv) On the Closing Date, Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may elect to advance to Borrowers the full amount of the initial Loans to be made on the Closing Date prior to receiving funds from Lenders, in reliance upon each Lender’s commitment to make its Pro Rata Share of such Loans to Borrowers in a timely manner on such date. If Agent elects to advance the initial Loans to Borrower in such manner, Agent shall be entitled to receive all interest that accrues on the Closing Date on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Loans unless Agent receives such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Loans before 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Closing Date.

 

98


(v) It is understood that for purposes of advances to Borrowers made pursuant to this Section 11.13, Agent will be using the funds of Agent, and pending settlement, (A) all funds transferred from the Payment Account to the outstanding Revolving Loans shall be applied first to advances made by Agent to Borrowers pursuant to this Section 11.13, and (B) all interest accruing on such advances shall be payable to Agent.

(vi) The provisions of this Section 11.13(a) shall be deemed to be binding upon Agent and Lenders notwithstanding the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, or any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding pertaining to any Borrower or any other Credit Party.

(b) Reserved .

(c) Return of Payments .

(i) If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from a Borrower and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, together with interest accruing on a daily basis at the Federal Funds Rate.

(ii) If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement must be returned to any Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to any Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(d) Defaulted Lenders . The failure of any Defaulted Lender to make any payment required by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make payment, but neither any other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulted Lender to make any payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Defaulted Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Financing Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Required Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Financing Document.

(e) Sharing of Payments . If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Loan (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 2.8(d)) in excess of its Pro Rata Share of payments entitled pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 11.13, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in extensions of credit made by such other Lenders (without recourse, representation or warranty) as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter required to be returned or otherwise recovered from such purchasing Lender, such portion of such purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender which has sold a participation to the purchasing Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such return or recovery, without interest. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this clause (e) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 10.6) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation). If under any applicable

 

99


bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this clause (e) applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this clause (e) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

Section  11.14 Right to Perform, Preserve and Protect . If any Credit Party fails to perform any obligation hereunder or under any other Financing Document, Agent itself may, but shall not be obligated to, cause such obligation to be performed at Borrowers’ expense. Agent is further authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders to make expenditures from time to time which Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable to (a) preserve or protect the business conducted by Borrowers, the Collateral, or any portion thereof, and/or (b) enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loan and other Obligations. Each Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse Agent on demand for any and all costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by Agent pursuant to this Section 11.14. Each Lender hereby agrees to indemnify Agent upon demand for any and all costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by Agent pursuant to this Section 11.14, in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6.

Section 11.15 Delegation of Duties . The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Financing Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Agent.

Section 11.16 Amendments and Waivers .

(a) No provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document may be amended, waived or otherwise modified unless such amendment, waiver or other modification is in writing and is signed or otherwise approved by Borrowers, the Agent, and the Required Lenders and any other Lender to the extent required under Section 11.16(b).

(b) In addition to the required signatures under Section 11.16(a), no provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document may be amended, waived or otherwise modified unless such amendment, waiver or other modification is in writing and is signed or otherwise approved by the following Persons:

(ii) if the rights or duties of Agent are affected thereby, by Agent;

provided, however , that, in each of (i) and (ii) above, no such amendment, waiver or other modification shall, unless signed or otherwise approved in writing by all the Lenders directly affected thereby, (A) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on or any fees with respect to any Loan or forgive any principal, interest (other than default interest) or fees (other than late charges) with respect to any Loan; (B) postpone the date fixed for, or waive, any payment (other than any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii)) of principal of any Loan, or of interest on any Loan (other than default interest) or any fees provided for hereunder (other than late charges) or postpone the date of termination of any commitment of any Lender hereunder; (C) change the definition of the term Required Lenders or the percentage of Lenders

Except as Agent may otherwise agree, the amount of any such assignment (determined as of the date of the applicable Assignment Agreement shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or, if less, the assignor’s entire interests in the outstanding Loan; provided, however, that, in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more related Approved Funds, such Approved Funds shall be treated as one assignee for purposes of determining compliance with the minimum assignment size referred to above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Financing Documents, the Credit Parties shall not (and the Credit Parties agree not to have their Affiliates or Related Parties agree to), solely in connection with a refinancing of this Agreement whereby the Borrowers are not entering into a new credit facility that refinances or replaces this Agreement (and the Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder) but rather is seeking a financial institution (or other Person) and its Affiliates that are not Deerfield ELGX Revolver, LLC or its Affiliates to replace Deerfield ELGX Revolver, LLC and its Affiliates as Agent and as the Lenders hereunder pursuant to an assignment of the agency of Agent and the Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder, and whereby the assignment documentation for the agency of Agent and the Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder requires the written consent of Endologix (even if the terms hereof do not otherwise require such consent), request from any Lender that any Person be assigned, delegated or transferred any of the Revolving Loan Commitments unless Endologix advises Deerfield ELGX Revolver, LLC on or prior to the written consent of Endologix of the terms of Section 5.4(s)(i) of the Term Credit Agreement, and any such assignment, delegation or transfer in the scenario described in this sentence that does not meet the foregoing terms shall be absolutely void ab initio .    Borrowers and Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Eligible Assignee until Agent shall have received and accepted an effective Assignment Agreement executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto, a processing fee of $3,500 to be paid by the assigning Lender, and, if the Assignee is not already a Lender, all documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the USA PATRIOT Act; provided, however, no processing fee shall be due for assignments between

AGENT AND/OR ANY LENDER CONSIDERING ASSIGNING ANY REVOLVING LOAN COMMITMENTS, LOANS OR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS IS ADVISED AND ENCOURAGED TO REVIEW WITH COUNSEL SECTION 5.4(s) (PARTICULARLY CLAUSE (i) OF THE PROVISO THEREOF) OF THE TERM CREDIT AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTAND ANY IMPLICATIONS OF ANY SUCH ASSIGNMENT IF AGENT AND/OR ANY LENDER HOLDS ANY INTEREST IN ANY LOANS OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE TERM DEBT DOCUMENTS AT SUCH TIME.

(ii) From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (A) such Eligible Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent of the interests assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, and (B) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights and obligations hereunder (other than those that survive termination pursuant to Section 12.1). Upon the request of the Eligible Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent for delivery to the Eligible Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) Notes in the aggregate principal amount of the Eligible Assignee’s Loan (and, as applicable, Notes in the principal amount of that portion of the principal amount of the Loan retained by the assigning Lender). Upon receipt by the assigning Lender of such Note, upon written request of Borrower Representative, the assigning Lender shall return to Borrower Representative any prior Note held by it.

(iii) During any Third Party Agent Retention Period, Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its office a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, and the commitments of, and principal amount of the Loan owing to, such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof (the “ Register ”). The entries in such Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest effort, and Borrowers, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to Agent. During any Non-Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Borrower Representative shall maintain such Register and shall make such Register available to Agent and the Lenders at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to the Borrower Representative. Upon the request of any Third Party Agent upon the commencement of any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Borrower Representative shall share such Register with the Third Party Agent, and with respect to any discrepancies between the records or Register of the Borrower Representative, on the one hand, and the records or Register of any Lender, the Agent or the Third Party Agent, on the other hand, the records and Register of such Lender, Agent or Third Party Agent shall govern and control absent manifest error. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Obligations (each, a “ Participant Register ”). The entries in the Participant Registers shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Each Participant Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and Agent at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to the applicable Lender; provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Financing Document) to

 

102


any Person (including Borrower) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a participant register.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.17(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however , that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.17(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, Agent has the right, but not the obligation, to effectuate assignments of Loans via an electronic settlement system acceptable to Agent as designated in writing from time to time to the Lenders by Agent (the “ Settlement Service ”). At any time when Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be effected by the assigning Lender and proposed assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall be consistent with the other provisions of this Section 11.17(a). Each assigning Lender and proposed Eligible Assignee shall comply with the requirements of the Settlement Service in connection with effecting any assignment of Loans pursuant to the Settlement Service. With the prior written approval of Agent, Agent’s approval of such Eligible Assignee shall be deemed to have been automatically granted with respect to any transfer effected through the Settlement Service. Assignments and assumptions of the Loan shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein until Agent notifies Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein.

(b) Participations . Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or Agent, sell to one or more Persons (other than any Borrower or any Borrower’s Affiliates) participating interests in its Loan, commitments or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “ Participant ”). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (i) such Lender’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (ii) Borrowers and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, and (iii) all amounts payable by each Borrower shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender. Each Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided, however , that such right of set-off shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with Lenders, and Lenders agree to share with each Participant, as provided in Section 11.5.

(c) Reserved .

(d) Credit Party Assignments . No Credit Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or other obligations hereunder or under any other Financing Document, and any attempted assignment thereby shall be absolutely void ab initio .

So long as Agent has not waived the conditions to the funding of Loans set forth in Section 7.2 or Section 2.1, any Lender may deliver a notice to Agent stating that such Lender shall cease making Revolving Loans due to the non-satisfaction of one or more conditions to funding Loans set forth in Section 7.2 or Section 2.1, and specifying any such non-satisfied conditions. Any Lender delivering any such notice shall become a non-funding Lender (a “ Non-Funding Lender ”) for purposes of this Agreement commencing on the Business Day following receipt by Agent of such notice, and shall cease to be a Non-Funding Lender on the date on which such Lender has either revoked the effectiveness of such notice or acknowledged in writing to each of Agent the satisfaction of the condition(s) specified in such notice, or Required Lenders waive the conditions to the funding of such Loans giving rise to such notice by Non-Funding Lender. Each Non-Funding Lender shall remain a Lender for purposes of this Agreement to the extent that such Non-Funding Lender has Revolving Loan Outstanding in excess of Zero Dollars ($0); provided, however, that during any period of time that any Non-Funding Lender exists, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth herein, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) For purposes of determining the Pro Rata Share of each Revolving Lender under clause (c) of the definition of such term, each Non-Funding Lender shall be deemed to have a Revolving Loan Commitment Amount as in effect immediately before such Lender became a Non-Funding Lender.

(b) Except as provided in clause (a) above, the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount of each Non-Funding Lender shall be deemed to be Zero Dollars ($0).

(c) The Revolving Loan Commitment at any date of determination during such period shall be deemed to be equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment Amounts of all Lenders, other than the Non-Funding Lenders as of such date plus (ii) the aggregate Revolving Loan Outstandings of all Non-Funding Lenders as of such date.

(d) Agent shall have no right to make or disburse Revolving Loans for the account of any Non-Funding Lender pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i) to pay interest, fees, expenses and other charges of any Credit Party.

(e) To the extent that Agent applies proceeds of Collateral or other payments received by Agent to repayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 10.7, such payments and proceeds shall be applied first in respect of Revolving Loans made at the time any Non-Funding Lenders exist, and second in respect of all other outstanding Revolving Loans.

Options and Equity Incentive/Compensation Plans:

Equity Awards : Endologix’s 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) authorizes the grant of equity awards to purchase up to 6.8 million shares of Common Stock. As of December 31, 2016, approximately 8.3 million shares were reserved for issuance under outstanding stock options, including stock options granted under equity compensation plans preceeding the 2015 Plan, and 1.3 million shares were subject to unvested restricted stock awards. The outstanding stock options have exercise prices ranging from $1.64 to $17.60 and a weighted average exercise price of $9.22.

Amended and Restated 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) : As of December 31, 2016, approximately 4.6 million shares of Common Stock were available for issuance under the ESPP.

Non-Plan Inducement Grants : In connection with its merger with TriVascular Technologies, Inc., Endologix issued non-plan inducement stock options to purchase 1.3 million shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.53 per share, and non-plan inducement restricted stock units for 0.3 million shares of Common Stock.

Warrants:

In connection with its merger with TriVascular Technologies, Inc., Endologix assumed 35,094 unexercised out-of-the-money warrants of TriVascular Technologies, Inc., 24,272 of which have an exercise price of $12.58 per share and 10,822 of which have an exercise price of $28.21 per share.


Convertible Notes:

2.25% Convertible Notes : On December 10, 2013, Endologix issued $86.3 million aggregate principal amount of 2.25% Convertible Notes. The initial conversion rate of the 2.25% Convertible Notes is 41.6051 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2.25% Convertible Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $24.04 per share. The 2.25% Convertible Notes are not convertible as of the Agreement Date.

The number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the former stockholders of Nellix upon achievement of the PMA Milestone shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing $15.0 million by the average per share closing price of Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market for each of the 30 consecutive trading days ending with the fifth trading day immediately preceding the date of Endologix’s receipt of FDA approval to sell Endologix’s Nellix EVAS System in the United States, subject to a stock price floor of $4.50 per share, but not subject to a stock price ceiling.


Schedule 3.6 – Litigation

Barry Lucido, etc. v. TriVascular Technologies, Inc., et al., Superior Court of the State California, County of Sonoma, Case No. SCV 258123 . The complaint sought, among other things, rescissory and compensatory damages, and attorneys’ fees and expenses. On January 25, 2016, the defendants entered into a memorandum of understanding with the plaintiffs providing for the settlement of all claims in both actions. In December 2016, the defendants entered into a stipulation and agreement of compromise, settlement and release with respect to this matter and the dismissal thereof. The final settlement hearing is scheduled for June 2017.

Vicky Nguyen v. Endologix, Inc., et al. (Filed January 3, 2017 in the United States District Court, Central District of California; Case No. 2:17-cv-00017); and Kodgi Ahmed v. Endologix, Inc., et al. (Filed January 11, 2017 in the United States District Court, Central District of California; Case No. 8:17-cv-00061). These putative securities class actions are brought against defendants Endologix, Inc., John McDermott, and Vaseem Mahboob. The putative class period is August 2, 2016 through November 16, 2016. The lawsuits allege that the defendants made misleading statements about the prospects for approval by the FDA of the Nellix medical product in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The lawsuits allege that on November 16, 2016, Endologix announced that the FDA had requested additional data from Endologix to assess Nellix for approval and that Endologix’s stock fell approximately 20% on this news. The lawsuits seek damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, expert fees, costs, and other relief the Court may deem appropriate. Endologix intends to file a motion to dismiss the lawsuits after the Court appoints a lead plaintiff and the lead plaintiff files a consolidated complaint.

Steven M. Ortiz v. Endologix, Inc. This wage and hour class action lawsuit was filed by former employee Steven M. Ortiz entitled Steven M. Ortiz. v. Endologix, Inc., Orange County Superior Court Case No. 30-2016-00873893-CU-OE-CXC. The case was filed on September 9, 2016 and involves the following claims that the plaintiff seeks to certify as a class action: failure to pay all overtime wages owing; failure to provide meal periods and failure to pay meal period premiums; failure to pay all wages owed at time of termination seeking waiting time penalties under Labor Code section 203; failure to provide accurate wage statements; and violations of Business and Professions Code section 17200. The case also alleges claims for penalties under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004.
