Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Facility Agreement and Convertible Notes

On May 11, 2020, Intersect ENT, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) by and among the Company, as borrower, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries from time to time party thereto as guarantors and Deerfield Partners, L.P. (“Deerfield”), as agent for itself and the lenders, providing for the issuance and sale by the Company to Deerfield of $65.0 million of principal amount of 4.0% unsecured senior convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”) upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Facility Agreement (the “Deerfield Financing”). The Convertible Notes will mature on May 9, 2025, unless earlier converted or redeemed, and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an initial conversion price of $15.54, representing an approximately 15% premium over the Company’s closing stock price of $13.49 per share on May 8, 2020. The Convertible Notes are expected to be sold today in a private placement to Deerfield pursuant to an exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Notes were approximately $62.5 million after deducting the estimated expenses payable by the Company. The Company plans to use the proceeds from the Convertible Notes for commercial activities as well as general corporate purposes.

The Convertible Notes bear interest at 4.0% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on July 1, October 1, January 1 and April 1 of each year, commencing July 1, 2020. The Convertible Notes are convertible at any time at the option of the holders thereof; provided that Deerfield is prohibited from converting the Convertible Notes into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, the converting holder (together with certain affiliates and “group” members) would beneficially own more than 4.985% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “Beneficial Ownership Cap”). Pursuant to the Convertible Notes, the holders of the Convertible Notes have the option to demand repayment of all outstanding principal, any unpaid interest accrued thereon, and make-whole interest in connection with a Major Transaction (as defined in the Convertible Notes), which shall include, among others, any acquisition or other change of control of the Company; the sale or transfer of assets of the Company equal to more than 50% of the Enterprise Value (as defined in the Convertible Notes) of the Company; a liquidation, bankruptcy or other dissolution of the Company; or if at any time shares of the Company’s Common Stock are not listed on an Eligible Market (as defined in the Convertible Notes). The Facility Agreement contains certain specified events of default, the occurrence of which would entitle the holders of the Convertible Notes to immediately demand repayment of all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Convertible Notes, together with a make-whole payment as determined pursuant to the Facility Agreement. Such events of default include, among others, failure to make any payment under the Convertible Notes when due, failure to observe or perform any covenant under the Facility Agreement or the other transaction documents related thereto (subject in certain cases to specified cure periods), the failure of the Company to be able to pay debts as they come due, the commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Company, a material judgment levied against the Company and a material default by the Company under other indebtedness.

On or after the date that is the second anniversary of the issuance date, the Company may redeem up to $32.5 million of principal amount of Convertible Notes if (1) the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on each of any twenty (20) trading days during a period of thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending on the date which an optional redemption notice is delivered, (2) the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the last trading day of such period and (3) the closing price of the Common Stock on the last trading day of such period, in each case, are greater than 150% of the conversion price. On or after the date that is the third anniversary of the issuance date, the Company may redeem up to the entire $65.0 million original principal amount of Convertible Notes if (1) the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on each of any twenty (20) trading days during a period of thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending on the date which an optional redemption notice is delivered, (2) the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the last trading day of such period and (3) the closing price of the Common Stock on the last trading day of such period, in each case, are greater than 200% of the conversion price. The Company is obligated to notify the holders of the Convertible Notes no less than ten trading days nor more than sixty calendar days prior to any such redemption. During the period from the date on which the Company delivers an optional redemption notice until the date the optional redemption price is paid to holders, if a holder elects to convert its Convertible Notes, it will receive the shares otherwise issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, plus an additional number of shares determined in accordance with the Convertible Notes. To the extent the holder would be prohibited due to the Beneficial Ownership Cap to convert its Convertible Notes during such period, such holder would be entitled to convert all or any portion of its Convertible Notes into shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock of the Company (such conversion, a “Preferred Stock Conversion”). The number of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock issuable upon a Preferred Stock Conversion shall be determined by dividing the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company that it would be entitled to receive from such conversion by 1,000. Upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes in connection with a major transaction, redemption of the Convertible Notes in connection with a major transaction or an optional redemption, holders of the Convertible Notes will also be entitled to a make-whole increase to the conversion rate. Based on the initial conversion price, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes is 6,309,459 shares.

The Company is subject to a number of affirmative and restrictive covenants pursuant to the Facility Agreement, including covenants regarding compliance with applicable laws and regulations, maintenance of property, payment of taxes, maintenance of insurance, business combinations, incurrence of additional indebtedness, prepayments of other unsecured indebtedness and transactions with affiliates, among other covenants. The Company is also restricted from paying dividends or making other distributions or payments on its capital stock, subject to limited exceptions.

The foregoing description of the Facility Agreement, Convertible Notes and the Deerfield Financing does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Facility Agreement and the Form of Senior Convertible Note, a copy of each of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 4.1, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference. The terms of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock are described in Item 5.03 of this filing. The information included in Item 5.03 under the heading “Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series DF-1 Convertible Preferred Stock” is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Facility Agreement, on May 11, 2020, the Company and Deerfield entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form S-3, or such other form as required to effect a registration of the Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of or pursuant to the Convertible Notes (the “Registrable Securities”), covering the resale of the Registrable Securities and such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Convertible Notes to prevent dilution resulting from certain corporate actions. Such Registration Statement must be filed within 30 calendar days following the date of issuance of the Convertible Notes. In the event the SEC does not permit all of the Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration Statement or if the Registrable Securities are not otherwise included in the Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to file an additional Registration Statement by no later than the Additional Filing Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) 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 of the Securities Act. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides for piggy-back registration, subject to the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

The information included in Item 1.01 above under the heading “Facility Agreement and Convertible Notes” and in Item 5.03 below under the heading “Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series DF-1 Convertible Preferred Stock” is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

Item 3.03 Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.

The information included in Item 5.03 below under the heading “Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series DF-1 Convertible Preferred Stock” is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

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

Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series DF-1 Convertible Preferred Stock

In connection with the Facility Agreement, on May 11, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series DF-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, setting forth the preferences, rights and limitations of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Designation is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Each share of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock at a rate of 1,000 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock (subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits and similar events). There are an aggregate of 6,309,459 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock (without giving effect to the limitation on conversion described below). The Series DF-1 Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the Holders, provided that the Holders of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock are prohibited from converting shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, such Holders (together with certain affiliates and “group” members) would beneficially own more than 4.985% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding. The Series DF-1 Preferred Stock is not redeemable. In the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Holders will receive an amount equal to $0.001 per share, plus any declared but unpaid dividends, and thereafter will share ratably in any distribution of the Company’s assets with holders of Common Stock on an as-converted basis. With respect to rights upon liquidation, the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock and junior to existing and future indebtedness. Except as otherwise required by law (or with respect to approval of certain actions involving the Company’s organizational documents that adversely affect the Holders of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock), the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock does not have voting rights. The Series DF-1 Preferred Stock is not subject to any price-based anti-dilution protections and does not provide for any accruing dividends, but provides that Holders of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock will participate in any dividends on the Common Stock on an as-converted basis (without giving effect to the limitation on conversion described above). The Certificate of Designation also provides for certain damages in the event that the Company fails to timely convert shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock into Common Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Designation.

The foregoing description of the Certificate of Designation and the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designation, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”) duly completed and executed. The Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock to be converted. The “Conversion Date,” or the date on which a conversion shall be deemed effective, shall be defined as the Trading Day that the Notice of Conversion, completed and executed, is sent by

electronic mail or facsimile to, and received during regular business hours by, the Corporation. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of verifiable or mathematical error. Shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued. Shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock so converted shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and shall no longer be designated as Series DF-1 Preferred Stock as set forth in Section 8(h). The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender any certificate(s) representing the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock to the Corporation until all shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock represented by such certificate(s) have been converted in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender such certificate(s) to the Corporation for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Corporation. Delivery of a Notice of Conversion with respect to a partial conversion shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original certificate(s) representing such shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock and issuance of a certificate representing the remaining shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock. In accordance with the preceding sentence, upon the written request of the Holder and the surrender of certificate(s) representing Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall, within three (3) Trading Days of such request, deliver to the Holder certificate(s) (as specified by the Holder in such request) representing such remaining shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock. The shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock by such Holder will not contain or be subject to any legend or stop transfer order restricting the sale or transferability thereof.

b) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, to the extent that, upon such conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates, and any other Person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, including shares held by any “group” of which such 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 hereinafter would exceed 4.985% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “4.985% Cap”); provided that the 4.985% Cap shall not apply to the extent that the Common Stock is not deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) 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 SEC, and the percentage beneficially owned by such Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, each Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as set forth in the Corporation’s most recent annual report filed with the SEC, or any report filed by the Corporation with the SEC subsequent thereto, in each case, unless the Corporation has confirmed to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as provided in the next sentence (in which case such Holder may rely upon such confirmation). Upon the written request of such Holder, the Corporation shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Each delivery of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder will constitute a representation by such Holder that it has

 

7


evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that the issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock requested in such Notice of Conversion is permitted under this paragraph. For purposes of this Section 6(b), the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock subject to the Notice of Conversion with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Series DF-1 Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates, and (B) exercise, exchange or conversion of the unexercised, unexchanged or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion, exchange or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including the Convertible Notes any other class or series of Preferred Stock and warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates.

c) Mechanics of Conversion

i. Delivery of Certificate or Electronic Issuance Upon Conversion. Not later than the earlier of two (2) Trading Days and the number of Trading Days constituting the Standard Settlement Period after the applicable Conversion Date (such earlier date, the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall electronically deliver the Conversion Shares by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) through its Deposit/Withdrawal Custodian (“DWAC”) system. If such shares are not electronically delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the applicable Holder shall be entitled to elect to rescind such Notice of Conversion by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before electronic receipt of such shares, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to such Holder any Series DF-1 Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation, and such Holder shall promptly direct the return of any shares of Common Stock delivered to the Holder through the DWAC system, representing the shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock unsuccessfully tendered for conversion to the Corporation; provided that the liquidated damages described in Section 6(c)(ii) shall be payable through the date such notice of rescission is given to the Corporation.

ii. Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. Subject to Section 6(b) hereof and subject to Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(c)(i) above, the Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof is absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares. Subject to Section 6(b) hereof and subject to Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to

 

8


Section 6(c)(i) above, in the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of its shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained, and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 150% of the value of the Conversion Shares into which would be converted the shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock which are subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall, subject to Section 6(b) hereof and subject to Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(c)(i) above, issue Conversion Shares upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Corporation fails to electronically deliver such shares pursuant to Section 6(c)(i) on or prior to the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Corporation shall pay additional damages to the Holder, in cash, for each thirty (30) day period after the Share Delivery Date such conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal to (prorated for any partial period) one percent (1.0%) of the product of (I) the number of Conversion Shares not issued and delivered to the Holder (free of any restrictive legend) or its designee on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled and (II) the Volume Weighted Average Price of a share of Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date; provided that the Holder shall have no right to any such additional damages hereunder to the extent the failure of the Corporation to deliver such Conversion Shares is caused by the Holder’s failure to provide complete information required to be provided by the Holder to the Corporation hereunder or the inaccuracy of any such information; provided, further, that the Corporation shall notify a Holder as promptly as possible after the Corporation becomes aware of the fact that information provided by such Holder to the Corporation is inaccurate or incomplete. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Corporation’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein, and a Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

iii. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. If the Corporation fails to electronically deliver Conversion Shares by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 6(c)(i), and if after such Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which such Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Corporation shall promptly (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such Holder) 105% of the amount by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the net proceeds

 

9


received by the Holder from the sale of a number of shares equal to up to the number of Conversion Shares such Holder was entitled to receive but had not received on the Share Delivery Date, and (B) at the option of such Holder, by notice to the Corporation made via email prior to receipt by the Holder of the Conversion Shares, either reissue (if surrendered) the shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock submitted for conversion or deliver to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6(c)(i); provided that the Holder shall have no right to any such payment under clause (A) hereof to the extent the failure of the Corporation to deliver such Conversion Shares is caused by the Holder’s failure to provide complete information required to be provided by the Holder to the Corporation hereunder or the inaccuracy of any such information; provided, further, that the Corporation shall notify a Holder as promptly as possible after the Corporation becomes aware of the fact that information provided by such Holder to the Corporation is inaccurate or incomplete. Nothing herein shall limit a 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 Corporation’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

iv. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock and payment of dividends on the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments pursuant to Section 7 and without regard to the 4.985% Cap) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

v. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which a Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon such conversion, the Corporation shall round up to the next whole share.

vi. Taxes. The Corporation shall be responsible for paying, and the issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for, any stamp, court or documentary, intangible, filing or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery thereof; provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the

 

10


registered Holder(s) of such shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates in a name other than that of the registered Holder(s) unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of the applicable transfer tax (if any) or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that the applicable transfer tax (if any) has been paid.

vii. Status as Preferred Stockholder. Effective as of the delivery by a Holder of the Notice of Conversion by such Holder by facsimile or electronic mail, as provided herein, subject to Section 6(b) hereof, (A) the shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock being converted shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock, (B) such Holder shall be deemed the Holder or record of such applicable Conversion Shares, and (C) subject to a Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(c)(i), such Holder’s rights as a Holder of such converted shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive electronic delivery of such shares, and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies for the Corporation’s failure to convert Series DF-1 Preferred Stock.

Section 7. Certain Adjustments.

a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include the issuance by the Corporation of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Series DF-1 Preferred Stock); (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; (C) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or (D) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Rate shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (or in the event that clause (D) of this Section 7(a) shall apply, shares of reclassified capital stock), outstanding immediately after such event (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive any such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Series DF-1 Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Corporation, directly or indirectly in one or more related transactions, effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person (other than a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing entity and its capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not exchanged for or converted

 

11


into other securities, cash or other property), (ii) the Corporation, directly or indirectly in one or more related transactions, effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions and distributes the proceeds thereof to its stockholders, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Corporation, directly or indirectly in one or more related transactions, effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant (other than as a result of a dividend, subdivision or combination covered by Section 7(a) above) to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case covered by any of clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 7(b), a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon the effectiveness of such Fundamental Transaction, each Holder of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock shall receive for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation), the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any conversion of any shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, the determination of the Conversion Rate shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall adjust the Conversion Rate in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then each of the Holders shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock in connection with such Fundamental Transaction on the same terms and conditions as given to the holders of Common Stock. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, the Corporation shall cause any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction (or any direct or indirect parent entity thereof) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance approved by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock prior to such Fundamental Transaction. The Corporation shall not have the power to enter into any agreement to which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates is a party and pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected unless such agreement shall include terms in compliance with the provisions of this Section 7(b).

c) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.

d) Notice to the Holders.

 

12


i. Adjustment to Conversion Rate. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii. Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any Fundamental Transaction, or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation or any Fundamental Transaction, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be delivered to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, at the same time any notice related to any such transaction is delivered to the holders of Common Stock, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants or Fundamental Transaction, or any vote of stockholders in respect thereof, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined, and (y) in the case of any Fundamental Transaction, the date on which such Fundamental Transaction is expected to become effective or close and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such Fundamental Transaction; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.

Section 8. Miscellaneous.

a) Notice. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including any Notice of Conversion, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by electronic mail (to dlehman@intersectent.com), or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Corporation, at its principal place of business, to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation, or such other electronic mail address or address as the Corporation may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders delivered in accordance with this Section 8. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Corporation hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the electronic mail address, facsimile number or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Corporation, or if no such facsimile number or address appears on the books of the Corporation, at the principal place of business of such Holder. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the

 

13


earliest of (i) the time and date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via electronic mail to the e-mail address specified in this Section 8, (ii) the first Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iii) otherwise upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

b) Absolute Obligation. Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Certificate of Designation shall alter or impair the obligation of the Corporation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay liquidated damages on the shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

c) Lost or Mutilated Series DF-1 Preferred Stock Certificate. If a Holder’s Series DF-1 Preferred Stock certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated certificate, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a new certificate for the shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate, and of the ownership thereof reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation and, in each case, customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested.

d) Waiver. Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder of a breach of any provision of this Certificate of Designation shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Certificate of Designation or a waiver by any other Holder. The failure of the Corporation or a Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Certificate of Designation on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party (or any other Holder) of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Certificate of Designation. Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder must be in writing. Notwithstanding any provision in this Certificate of Designation to the contrary, any provision contained herein (other than Section 6(b), which cannot be waived by the Holders) and any right of the Holders of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock granted hereunder may be waived as to all shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock (and the Holders thereof) upon the affirmative vote or written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, unless a higher percentage is required by the DGCL, in which case the affirmative consent or written consent of the Holders of not less than such higher percentage shall be required.

e) Severability. If any provision of this Certificate of Designation is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Certificate of Designation shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law.

f) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

14


g) Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Certificate of Designation and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

h) Status of Converted Series DF-1 Preferred Stock. If any shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock shall have been converted into shares of Common Stock or reacquired by the Corporation, such shares shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and shall no longer be designated as Series DF-1 Preferred Stock.

i) Determinations Made by Accountants. In the case of an inability of the Corporation and the holders of a majority of outstanding shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock to reach a mutual agreement as to any arithmetic calculation hereunder, the Corporation or the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Series DF-1 Preferred Stock shall submit to the other their arithmetic calculations via electronic transmission within two (2) Trading Days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of any notice or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be. If such Holder(s) and the Corporation are unable to agree upon such calculation within two (2) Trading Days after the submission of such disputed calculation, then the Corporation shall, within two (2) Trading Days thereafter, submit via electronic transmission the disputed arithmetic calculation, to an independent, reputable registered public accounting firm selected by the Corporation and approved by such Holder(s), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The accountants shall perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Corporation and such Holder(s) of the results no later than five (5) Trading Days from the time it receives from the Corporation and such Holder(s) their respective calculations. Such accountants’ determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an inability of the Corporation and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock submitted for conversion to reach a mutual determination as to the Conversion Rate applicable to such shares as contemplated by the applicable Notice of Conversion, if requested by the Holder submitting such Notice of Conversion, the Corporation shall issue to such Holder the Conversion Shares, if any, that are not in dispute in accordance with the terms hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, any determinations made by the accountants, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 8(i) shall be deemed to be “facts ascertainable” outside of this Certificate of Designation within the meaning of Sections 102(d) and 151(a) of the DGCL and shall not be deemed to be a determination in or relating to arbitration or made by an arbitrator.

j) Benefit of Holders. The provisions of this Certificate of Designation are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time and shall be enforceable by any such Holder.

k) Interpretative Matters. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, (a) all references to Sections are to Sections contained in this Certificate of Designation, (b) 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, (c) the words “hereof,” “herein” and words of similar effect shall reference this Certificate of Designation in its entirety, and (d) the use of the word “including” in this Certificate of Designation shall be by way of example rather than limitation.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Intersect ENT, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby, promises to pay to [___________], or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), the principal amount of [_______] ($[_____]) pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of that certain Facility Agreement, dated as of May 11, 2020, by and among the Company, the Lenders party thereto, the Agent and the other parties thereto (together with all exhibits and schedules thereto and as may be amended, restated, modified and supplemented from time to time, the “Facility Agreement”). The Company hereby promises to pay accrued and unpaid Interest (as defined below) and premium, if any, on the Principal on the dates, at the rates and in the manner provided for in the Facility Agreement (including upon a Major Transaction Redemption, an Optional Redemption, a Major Transaction Conversion or any other conversion of this Note). The Company hereby promises to pay any Make Whole Amount that is due on the Principal in accordance with the Facility Agreement (including upon a Major Transaction Redemption or an Optional Redemption).

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS NOTE AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION HEREOF MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, INCLUDING PURSUANT TO RULE 144 (OR, IN THE CASE OF THIS NOTE, RULE 144A) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO A PRIVATE SALE EFFECTED UNDER SECTION 4(A)(7) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE FORMAL OR INFORMAL SEC INTERPRETATION OR GUIDANCE, SUCH AS A SO-CALLED “4[a](1) AND A HALF” SALE. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN, FINANCING OR INDEBTEDNESS ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”

(ii) Removal of Restrictive Legend. This Note, the certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares, as applicable, shall not contain or be subject to (and the Holder shall be entitled to removal of) any legend (or stop transfer or similar instruction) restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in subsection 2(d)(i)): (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) if the Holder provides customary certifications to the effect that it has sold such Note and/or Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Note or Conversion Shares, as the case may be, are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1) as set forth in customary non-affiliate certifications provided by the Holder, or (D) if at any time on or after the date hereof that the Holder certifies that it is not an Affiliate of the Company, and has not been an Affiliate for the preceding three months, and that the Holder’s holding period for purposes of Rule 144 and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, subsection (d)(3)(ii) thereof with respect to such Note and/or Conversion Shares is at least six (6) months, or (E) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) as

determined in good faith by counsel to the Company or set forth in a legal opinion delivered by Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP or other nationally recognized counsel to the Holder (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date (as defined below), or at such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions has been satisfied, if required by the Company’s Transfer Agent to effect the issuance of this Note or the Conversion Shares, as applicable, without a restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder. If any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met at the time of issuance of any of the Conversion Shares, then such Conversion Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(d), it will, no later than two (2) Trading Days (or, if less, the number of days comprising the Standard Settlement Period) following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of this Note or a certificate representing Conversion Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder this Note and/or a certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. For purposes hereof, “Effective Date” shall mean the date that the first Registration Statement covering the Conversion Shares that the Company is required to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement has been declared effective by the SEC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all of the Conversion Shares and Preferred Conversion Shares issued pursuant to Redemption Period Conversions shall, upon such issuance, be Freely Tradeable Shares or Freely Tradeable Preferred Shares, as applicable, and shall be issued free of all legends.

(iii) Sale of Unlegended Shares. The Holder agrees that the removal of any restrictive legends from any securities as set forth in this Section 2(d) is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell such securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.

(e) Share Dividend, Subdivision, Combination or Reclassification. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, (A) declare a dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of its Capital Stock (including Common Stock), other than a dividend for which the Holder would be entitled to participate pursuant to Section 6, (B) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, (C) consolidate or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or (D) issue any shares of its Capital Stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Note upon conversion after such date at the Conversion Price shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of the Company’s Capital Stock which, if this Note had been converted immediately prior to such date at the Conversion Price, such holder would have owned upon such conversion and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification. Any such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date of such dividend or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur. The Company shall give the Holder the same notice it provides to holders of Common Stock of any transaction described in this Section 2(e).

 

- 14 -


(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not issue to the Holder, and the Holder may not acquire, a number of Conversion Shares upon any conversion of this Note or otherwise acquire any Shares pursuant hereto or the Facility Agreement to the extent that, upon such conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the 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 hereinafter) would exceed 4.985% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “4.985% Cap”); provided that the 4.985% Cap shall not apply to the extent that the Common Stock is not deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) 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 SEC, and the percentage beneficially owned by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as set forth in the Company’s most recent annual report filed with the SEC, or any report filed by the Company with the SEC subsequent thereto, in each case, unless the Company has confirmed to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as provided in the next sentence (in which case the Holder may rely upon such confirmation). Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Each delivery of a Conversion Notice by the Holder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that the issuance of the full number of Conversion Shares requested in such Conversion Notice is permitted under this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, the 4.985% Cap shall not limit the number of Preferred Conversion Shares that may be issued in respect of any Preferred Stock Conversion.

(g) HSR Submissions. If the Holder determines that, in connection with the conversion of this Note, 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”) 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 and Holder (i) shall each file under the HSR Act within ten (10) Business Days of written notice from Holder to the Company that such filing is required, and (ii) shall cooperate with each other in preparing and making such filings and in responding to reasonable inquiries of the FTC and DOJ relating to such filings. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall bear all of its costs and expenses in connection with such submission, including any attorneys’ fees and filing fees associated therewith.

3. Rights Upon Major Transaction or Organic Change. Without limiting any other rights of the Holder under the Facility Agreement or any other Loan Document in respect of Major Transactions, in the event of a Major Transaction, then the Holder, at its option, may, (A) convert all or a portion of the outstanding Principal in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 (a “Major Transaction Conversion”) or (B) require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding Principal of this Note for the Major Transaction Redemption Price as provided in this Section 3 (a “Major Transaction Redemption”).

(a) Major Transaction Conversion. The Holder may elect a Major Transaction Conversion as follows: (1) in the case of a Successor Major Transaction, the Holder, at its option, may elect to convert, in whole or in part, by written notice to the Company, effective immediately prior to, and conditional upon, the consummation of a Takeout Major Transaction or, in the case of an Asset Sale, the Company’s distribution of assets to its stockholders, as applicable (a “Successor Major Transaction Conversion”), the outstanding Principal into the amount of cash and other assets and the number of securities or other property of the Successor Entity or other entity that the Holder would have received had such Holder converted the Major Transaction Conversion Amount (as defined below) into the number of Shares equal to the Base Conversion Shares plus the Additional Conversion Shares (each as defined below) (without regard to the 4.985% Cap or any other restriction or limitation on conversion) immediately prior to such Takeout Major Transaction or distribution of assets (as applicable) (the “Successor Major Transaction Consideration”), and (2) in the case of any one or more Major Transactions other than a Successor Major Transaction (a “Company Share Major Transaction”), the Holder shall have the right to convert, in whole or in part, following the occurrence of any such Major Transaction and from time to time thereafter, the outstanding Principal into a number of Shares equal to the Base Conversion Shares, plus the Additional Conversion Shares determined with respect to any such Major Transaction and any such Major Transaction Conversion Amount (“Major Transaction Company Shares”).

(b) Base Conversion Shares and Additional Conversion Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any conversion or deemed conversion effected in connection with a Major Transaction pursuant to Section 3(a) or during a Pending Redemption Period (i) the aggregate total number of Major Transaction Company Shares into which all or any portion of the outstanding Principal may be converted, (ii) the aggregate number of Conversion Shares to be used for calculating the Successor Major Transaction Consideration in respect of any Major Transaction, and (iii) the aggregate number of Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to a Conversion Notice delivered during a Pending Redemption Period shall be calculated to be the sum of (a) the number of Shares into which the outstanding Principal then being converted would otherwise be converted as calculated under Section 2 hereof (such number of shares, the “Base Conversion Shares”), plus (b) the number of Shares equal to the product of (x) the Additional Share Coefficient (as such term is defined and determined for each $1,000 of outstanding Principal then being converted on Schedule I attached hereto and made a part hereof) for such Major Transaction or in respect of the applicable Optional Redemption Notice and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the Principal then being converted and the denominator of which is $1,000 (such number of Shares calculated in accordance with this clause (b), the “Additional Conversion Shares”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, following a Company Share Major Transaction another Major Transaction shall occur, the Additional Share Coefficient shall be determined by reference to such Major Transaction that results in a determination of the greatest number of Additional Conversion Shares.

(c) Notice; Major Transaction Redemption Election; Major Transaction Conversion Election.

(i) At least thirty (30) days prior to the occurrence of any Major Transaction or Organic Change, but, in any event, one (1) Trading Day following (x) the date of the first public announcement by any Person of such Major Transaction or Organic Change if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or (y) the day following the first public announcement by any Person of such Major Transaction or Organic Change if such announcement is made on or after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via (i) email and (ii) overnight courier to the Holder (a “Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice”); provided, however, that, with respect to any Major Transaction or Organic Change that is not a Successor Major Transaction, the applicable deadline by which the Company must deliver the Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice shall be within one (1) Trading Day following (x) the date of the first public announcement by any Person of such Major Transaction or Organic Change if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or (y) the day following the first public announcement by any Person of such Major Transaction or Organic Change if such announcement is made on or after 4:00 p.m., New York City time; and provided, further, that the Company shall make a public announcement of any Major Transaction or Organic Change not later than one (1) Trading Day after the Company first has knowledge of the occurrence thereof.

(ii) If a Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice is given (or required to be given) at any time with respect to any Major Transaction, then at any time during the period beginning on the date the Company delivers (or by which it is obligated to deliver) such Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice and ending on the later of (1) ten (10) Trading Days prior to the occurrence of such Major Transaction and (2) ten (10) Trading Days after the Holder’s receipt of such Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice (or, in the case of a Major Transaction that is not a Successor Major Transaction, at any time beginning on the date the Company delivers (or by which it is obligated to deliver)) a Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice with respect thereto and ending on the sixtieth (60th) day after the later of (1) the date the Company actually delivers such Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice and (2) the Major Transaction Effective Date in respect of such Major Transaction, the Holder may elect to require a Major Transaction Redemption by delivering written notice thereof (the “Major Transaction Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Major Transaction Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of the Principal that the Holder is electing to have redeemed in a Major Transaction Redemption.

(iii) If a Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice is given (or required to be given) in respect of a Successor Major Transaction, and the Holder has not elected to require a Major Transaction Redemption in respect of all of the Principal, at any time during the period beginning on the date the Company delivers (or by which it is obligated to deliver) such Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice in respect of a Major Transaction and ending on the later of (1) ten (10) Trading Days prior to the occurrence of such Major Transaction and (2) ten (10) Trading Days after the Holder’s receipt of such Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice, the Holder may elect to require a Successor Major Transaction Conversion (in respect of all or any portion of the Principal, except any portion that the Holder has elected to be redeemed in a Major Transaction Redemption) by delivering written notice thereof (the “Major Transaction Early Termination Notice”) to the Company, which Major Transaction Early Termination Notice shall

 

- 17 -


indicate the portion of the Principal that Holder is electing to be treated as a Successor Major Transaction Conversion (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Holder may elect a Major Transaction Redemption in respect of a portion of the Principal and a Successor Major Transaction Conversion in respect of another portion of the Principal). If holders of any Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Successor Major Transaction or Organic Change, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the type of consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note in connection with such Successor Major Transaction or Organic Change. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to elect to require a Successor Major Transaction Conversion in respect of all or any portion of the Principal, even if the Company has elected to effect an Optional Redemption with respect to all or any portion of the outstanding Principal with respect to this Note as provided in Section 7 (and, for the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no Optional Redemption with respect to the Principal of this Note as to which the Holder has elected a Successor Major Transaction Conversion).

(iv) In respect of any Company Share Major Transaction, at any time from the date the Company delivers (or is obligated to deliver) to the Holder a Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice with respect thereto, the Holder may deliver written notice of a Major Transaction Conversion (“Major Transaction Conversion Notice”) to the Company, which Major Transaction Conversion Notice shall indicate the portion of the Principal (the “Major Transaction Conversion Amount”) that the Holder is electing to treat as a Major Transaction Conversion (which may be of all or any portion of the Principal, except any portion that the Holder has elected to be redeemed in a Major Transaction Redemption) and the effective date of such Major Transaction Conversion (which shall not be prior to the consummation of the applicable Company Share Major Transaction) (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Holder may elect a Major Transaction Redemption in respect to a portion of the Principal and Major Transaction Conversions in respect of other portions of the Principal). For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be permitted to make successive conversions and send successive Major Transaction Conversion Notices in respect of a Company Share Major Transaction from time to time (provided that the effective date of any such conversion shall not be prior to the consummation of the applicable Company Share Major Transaction).

(d) Settlement of Major Transaction Consideration. Following receipt of a Major Transaction Redemption Notice or Major Transaction Early Termination Notice from the Holder in respect of a Successor Major Transaction, the Company shall not effect the Successor Major Transaction with respect to which Holder has elected a Major Transaction Redemption or Successor Major Transaction Conversion unless it either (a) shall first place into an escrow account with an independent escrow agent, at least three (3) Trading Days prior to the closing date of the Successor Major Transaction, the Major Transaction Redemption Price or Successor Major Transaction Consideration (as applicable) applicable thereto, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such payment or issuance, as applicable (and any other amounts payable under the Facility Agreement), or (b) shall obtain the written agreement of the Successor Entity (which agreement shall include provisions entitling the Holder to enforce such agreement as a third party beneficiary) that payment or issuance of the Major Transaction Redemption Price or Successor Major Transaction Consideration (as applicable) applicable thereto plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such payment or issuance, as applicable (and any other amounts payable under the Facility Agreement) shall be made to the Holder concurrently with the

 

- 18 -


consummation of such Successor Major Transaction and such payment or issuance, as the case may be, which shall be a condition precedent to the consummation of such Successor Major Transaction. Concurrently upon closing of such Successor Major Transaction, the Company shall pay or issue, as the case may be, or instruct the escrow agent to deliver, or cause the Successor Entity to pay or issue, as applicable, the Major Transaction Redemption Price or Successor Major Transaction Consideration (as applicable) applicable thereto, as the case may be, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such payment or issuance, as applicable (and any other amounts payable under the Facility Agreement).

(e) Organic Change. Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or any other transaction, in each case, that is effected in such a way that holders of Shares are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to, or in exchange for, Shares (other than any transaction referred to in Section 2(e) or Section 6) is referred to herein as an “Organic Change.” Without limiting any other rights of the Holder under this Section 3 or any other provision of this Note, unless otherwise provided in writing by the Required Note Holders, prior to the consummation of any Organic Change, the Company will make appropriate provision (pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Note Holders and approved by the Holder prior to the consummation of such Organic Change (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive, in lieu of the Shares otherwise acquirable or receivable upon the conversion of this Note (without regard to the 4.985% Cap or any other restriction or limitation on conversion; provided that such written agreement shall contain a limitation on conversion comparable to the 4.985% Cap), such shares of stock, securities and/or assets as would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with respect to, or in exchange for, the number of Shares which would have been acquirable or receivable upon the conversion of this Note immediately prior to such Organic Change (without regard to the 4.985% Cap or any other restriction or limitation on conversion). The Company shall not effect any Non-Surviving Organic Change (as defined below), unless prior to the consummation thereof, the Acquiring Entity (as defined below) provides a written agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) and approved by Holder prior to the consummation of such Non-Surviving Organic Change (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to deliver to the Holder, upon conversion of this Note, such shares of stock, securities and/or assets as would have been issued or payable in such Non-Surviving Organic Change with respect to, or in exchange for, the number of Shares that would have been acquirable or receivable upon the conversion of this Note immediately prior to such Organic Change (without regard to the 4.985% Cap or any other restriction or limitation on conversion). For purposes of this Note, “Non-Surviving Organic Change” means any Organic Change following which the Company is not a surviving entity or as a result of which the holders of the Shares are entitled to receive stock or other securities of a new Parent Entity, but excluding for avoidance of doubt, any such Organic Change in which the consideration payable in respect of the Shares is limited to cash; and “Acquiring Entity” means the Person purchasing assets of the Company in a Non-Surviving Organic Change or the Successor Entity resulting from any Non-Surviving Organic Change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Major Transaction as to which Holder has exercised its right to require a Major Transaction Redemption or a Successor Major Transaction Conversion in respect of all of the Principal of this Note be subject to the provisions of this Section 3(e), and the foregoing shall not affect Holder’s right to convert this Note prior to the consummation of the Organic Change.

 

- 19 -


For the avoidance of doubt, the rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder upon the occurrence of a Major Transaction or Organic Change are conditional upon such Major Transaction or Organic Change being consummated (or actually occurring) and in the event that a Major Transaction or Organic Change for which the Holder is given notice is not consummated (or does not occur), then upon written notice from the Company to the Holder confirming that such Major Transaction has not and will not be consummated (or occur), all actions taken under this Section 3 prior to such written notice in connection with such Major Transaction shall be deemed to be rescinded and null and void and the Company shall return to the Holder this Note (if previously surrendered to the Company in connection with an anticipated Major Transaction or Organic Change under this Section 3). In the event that such Major Transaction is being consummated pursuant to an agreement between the Company (or any Affiliate thereof) and any other Person, the Company shall not deliver the written notice contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence unless such agreement has terminated.

(f) Conversion Right Continues. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and without derogating any obligations or rights herein, until the Holder receives its appropriate payment or securities, plus any accrued and unpaid interest under this Note (and any other amounts payable under the Facility Agreement), in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 and the Facility Agreement, this Note may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Shares, or in the event that such payments and/or shares have not been delivered prior to the consummation of the Successor Major Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving parent entity, shares of common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity at an appropriate conversion price based upon the prevailing Conversion Price (as adjusted hereunder) at the time of such Major Transaction and price per share or conversion ratio received by holders of Shares in the Major Transaction.

4. Registration Failures. Upon any Registration Failure (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and this Note, the Company shall pay additional damages to the Holder for each 30-day period (prorated for any partial period) after the date of such Registration Failure in an amount in cash equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of such Holder’s original principal amount of this Note on the date of such Registration Failure. Such payments shall accrue until the earlier of (i) such time as the Registration Failure has been cured and (ii) the date on which all of the Conversion Shares and all of the Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Conversion Shares may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 (including volume restrictions and without the need for the availability of current public information under Rule 144). All such payments that accrue under this Section 4 shall be payable no later than five (5) Business Days following such date of accrual.

5. Voting Rights. Except as required by law, the Holder shall have no voting rights with respect to any of the Conversion Shares until the Conversion Date relating to the conversion of this Note upon which such Conversion Shares are issuable.

6. Participation. The Holder, as the holder of this Note, shall be entitled to receive such dividends paid (or cash amounts equal to such dividends) and distributions of any kind made to the holders of Common Stock, other than dividends of, or distributions payable in, Shares, to the same extent as if the Holder had converted this Note into such Shares (without regard

 

- 20 -


to the 4.985% Cap or any other limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized and reserved to effect any such conversion and issuance) and had held such Shares on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Stock.

7. Optional Redemption.

(a) Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Section 7:

(i) in the event that, during the 150% Optional Redemption Period each of the following is greater than 150% of the Conversion Price (the “150% Optional Redemption Pricing Condition”): (1) the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on each of any twenty (20) Trading Days during a period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date on which an Optional Redemption Notice (as defined below) is delivered in accordance with Section 7(b), (2) the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day of such period and (3) the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day of such period; or

(ii) in the event that, during the 200% Optional Redemption Period each of the following is greater than 200% of the Conversion Price (the “200% Optional Redemption Pricing Condition”): (1) the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on each of any twenty (20) Trading Days during a period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date on which an Optional Redemption Notice (as defined below) is delivered in accordance with Section 7(b), (2) the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day of such period and (3) the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day of such period,

then the Company shall have the right to redeem (an “Optional Redemption”) the Principal amount of this Note for the Optional Redemption Price; provided, that such Principal amount shall not exceed the result of the applicable Optional Redemption Cap, minus the aggregate Principal amount of this Note converted into Conversion Shares, redeemed (by Optional Redemption(s) or otherwise) and/or otherwise repaid prior to the Company’s delivery of the Optional Redemption Notice (as defined below) in respect of such Optional Redemption. The Company shall not effect any Optional Redemption under this Note unless, contemporaneously with such Optional Redemption, the Company effects an optional redemption under the other Notes in accordance with the terms thereof, on a pro rata basis, based upon the respective applicable Optional Redemption Caps as of the date the Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the holders of the Notes.

(b) To effect an Optional Redemption, the Company shall send a written notice via electronic mail to the Holder (an “Optional Redemption Notice”) at any time between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Trading Day on which the applicable Optional Redemption Pricing Condition is satisfied. Each Optional Redemption Notice shall certify that the 150% Optional Redemption Pricing Condition or the 200% Optional Redemption Pricing Condition, as applicable, and each of the Additional Redemption Conditions (as defined below)

 

- 21 -


have been satisfied (including reasonable supporting information), and shall indicate: (i) that the Company has elected to effect an Optional Redemption, (ii) the Principal amount hereunder that the Company is electing to redeem (the “Principal Redemption Amount”), (iii) the Optional Redemption Date, (iv) the aggregate principal amount of all Notes outstanding as of the date of the Optional Redemption Notice, (v) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed on the Optional Redemption Date, and (vi) if the applicable Optional Redemption is conditional upon the consummation of a transaction as permitted by Section 7(c), a statement to such effect and a summary description of the transaction on which the applicable Optional Redemption is conditioned. Simultaneously with the delivery of an Optional Redemption Notice to the Holder hereunder, the Company shall send an Optional Redemption Notice to the holders of each of the other Notes in respect of the applicable principal amount of such Notes. In no event shall the Company send more than four (4) Optional Redemption Notices to the Holder, it being acknowledged and agreed that the Company shall be entitled to effect an Optional Redemption not more than four times. In no event shall the Company send any Optional Redemption Notice to the Holder during any Pending Redemption Period.

(c) If the Company elects to exercise its Optional Redemption right, it shall fix (and specify in the applicable Optional Redemption Notice) a date for redemption (an “Optional Redemption Date”), which shall be at least two (2) Trading Days prior to the Maturity Date and at least ten (10) Trading Days but no more than sixty (60) (calendar) days following the date the applicable Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the holders of Notes. The Optional Redemption Notice (and each optional redemption notice delivered to holders of the other Notes) shall be irrevocable (subject to the termination right of the Holder pursuant to Section 7(d)) and, upon delivery of an Optional Redemption Notice, the Optional Redemption Price, less the sum of all Redemption Period Conversion Amounts (as defined below), together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of payment thereof (and any other amounts payable thereon under the Facility Agreement), shall become due and payable on the Optional Redemption Date; provided that an Optional Redemption may be conditional upon the consummation of a specified transaction, if so indicated in the applicable Optional Redemption Notice, on the proposed Optional Redemption Date, in which case the Holder shall be entitled to provide a Conversion Notice that provides for a conversion of this Note (or any portion hereof) that is conditional upon the consummation of such transaction (with a Conversion Date that would be deemed to occur on the proposed Optional Redemption Date); it being understood that the Holder shall be entitled to revoke any such conditional Conversion Notice at any time during the Pending Redemption Period. In the event that the Optional Redemption is conditional upon consummation of a transaction, the Company shall notify the Holder, and publicly disclose, by no later than 8:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Optional Redemption Date whether the applicable transaction has been consummated and, accordingly, the applicable condition has been satisfied. For the avoidance of doubt, the condition shall only be deemed satisfied if so publicly disclosed as such, and upon public disclosure that the transaction has not been consummated and the condition has not been satisfied, the Optional Redemption Period shall terminate and any conversion that is conditional upon such condition being satisfied shall be null and void and of no force or effect. The failure to pay in full the amount payable to the Holder on the Optional Redemption Date shall constitute an Event of Default under the Facility Agreement. The Conversion Amount specified in each Conversion Notice delivered by the Holder during the Pending Redemption Period (a “Redemption Period Conversion Amount”) shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the Principal Redemption Amount until all of such Principal Redemption Amount shall have been converted.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the prior written consent of the Required Note Holders, the Company shall not deliver an Optional Redemption Notice, and the Company shall not affect any Optional Redemption, (i) during the occurrence of a Delisting Event, (ii) at any time following such time as the Company has delivered (or is obligated to deliver) a Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice in respect of a Major Transaction that has not yet been consummated or abandoned (and publicly disclosed as consummated or abandoned), (iii) at any time following the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default or a Default, (iv) if there shall be any Withholding Date during the Pending Redemption Period or otherwise in respect of any conversions under the Notes during such period, (v) unless the Series DF-1 Certificate of Designation shall have been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and become effective, and the shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock authorized by the Series DF-1 Certificate of Designation shall be available for issuance hereunder, (vi) unless all material nonpublic information regarding the Company provided to the Holder (or any of its Affiliates or representatives or agents) (including any material nonpublic information that may be included in, or reflected by, the Optional Redemption Notice, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any such information with respect a transaction upon which the applicable Optional Redemption is conditioned), has been publicly disclosed in a report filed pursuant to the Exchange Act, has been otherwise publicly disclosed in a manner calculated to reach the securities marketplace through one of the Company’s recognized channels of distribution or otherwise ceased to be material nonpublic information, (vii) unless all Shares, including Additional Conversion Shares, and shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock issuable pursuant to conversions of the Notes during the Pending Redemption Period, will constitute Freely Tradeable Shares or Freely Tradeable Preferred Shares, as applicable, upon the issuance thereof, (viii) if the Transfer Agent for the Common Stock is not participating in DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or (ix) if the Optional Redemption is conditional upon the consummation of a transaction, unless the Company has entered into a binding agreement with respect to such transaction or, in the case of a financing transaction, has received a binding commitment letter in customary form with respect to such financing transaction (collectively, the “Additional Redemption Conditions”), except to the extent the Holder has waived any such Additional Redemption Condition by written notice to the Company. If any of the Additional Redemption Conditions is not satisfied at any time following the delivery of an Optional Redemption Notice and prior to the Optional Redemption Date in respect of Optional Redemption, the Company shall immediately notify the Holder of such failure and (regardless of whether the Company shall have notified the Holder of such failure), by written notice delivered by the Holder to the Company at any time prior to the Optional Redemption Date, the Holder may elect to terminate the Pending Redemption Period, whereupon the Optional Redemption Notice shall be voided, the Pending Redemption Period shall cease, and the Optional Redemption shall not be effected. For the avoidance of doubt, no such termination shall affect the Holder’s right to receive Redemption Period Conversion Shares in respect of Conversion Notices delivered prior to the time that such termination becomes effective.

 

- 23 -


(e) Upon each conversion of this Note pursuant to a Redemption Period Conversion, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares equal to the Base Conversion Shares, plus the Additional Conversion Shares (collectively, the “Redemption Period Conversion Shares”); provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue Additional Conversion Shares pursuant to this Section 7(e) in respect of any Conversion Amount specified in a Conversion Notice delivered during the Pending Redemption Period that exceeds the result of the Principal Redemption Amount, minus the aggregate Principal of this Note previously converted during the Pending Redemption Period for Base Conversion Shares and Additional Conversion Shares; and provided, further, that, in lieu of receiving any or all of the Redemption Conversion Shares (or other Conversion Shares during the Pending Redemption Period), the Holder may elect in the applicable Conversion Notice to receive Preferred Conversion Shares as provided in Section 2(c).

8. Certain Provisions Related to Shares Issued Hereunder.

(a) Sufficient Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting conversions of this Note, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire Principal convertible under this Note (without giving effect to the 4.985% Cap); and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire Principal convertible under this Note, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to take such corporate action as may necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose. The Company shall also (i) at all times from the Issuance Date through the filing of the Series DF-1 Certificate of Designation, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but undesignated and unissued shares of preferred stock, solely for the purpose of effecting conversions of this Note, such number of shares of preferred stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the maximum amount of conversions into Preferred Conversion Shares, and (ii) at all time after the filing of the Series DF-1 Certificate of Designation (including at all times during a Pending Redemption Period), reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting conversions of this Note, such number of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the maximum amount of conversions into Preferred Conversion Shares.

(b) Fully-Paid. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon any conversion of this Note, all shares of Common Stock and/or Series DF-1 Preferred Stock (as applicable) issued upon such conversion 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.

9. Amendment; Waiver. The terms and provisions of this Note shall not be amended or waived except in a writing signed by the Company and the Required Note Holders.

10. Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note, the Facility Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy, and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms

 

- 24 -


of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that, except as may be set forth in the Facility Agreement, there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the 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, the Holder 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.

11. Specific Shall Not Limit General; Construction. No specific provision contained in this Note shall limit or modify any more general provision contained herein. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all purchasers of Notes pursuant to the Facility Agreement and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof.

12. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

13. Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 9.1 of the Facility Agreement.

14. Transfers of Notes.

(a) Registration or Exemption Required. This Note has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and exempt from state registration or qualification under applicable state laws. None of this Note or the Conversion Shares may be pledged, transferred, sold, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, including pursuant to Rule 144 (or, in the case of this Note, Rule 144A) under the Securities Act or pursuant to a private sale effected under Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act or applicable formal or informal SEC interpretation or guidance, such as a so-called “4(a)(1) and a half” sale.

(b) Assignment. Subject to Section 9.4 of the Facility Agreement and to Section 14(a), the Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose (collectively, “Transfer”; and “Transferee” shall have a correlative meaning) of this Note, in whole or in part. Holder shall deliver a written notice to Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the Person or Persons to whom the Note shall be Transferred and the respective principal amount of the Note to be Transferred to each assignee.

- 25 -


binding upon the successors and assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Note are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Note, 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 a half” transaction, the parties hereto agree that a legal opinion from Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP or other nationally recognized outside counsel for the Holder delivered to 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 a half” transaction.

15. Obligations of the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, 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 Note or otherwise intentionally materially adversely affect the rights or remedies to which the Holder is entitled hereunder or take any other action that has the purpose or effect of circumventing any of the rights or remedies of the Holder under this Note, including Section 3 hereof. The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Shares upon the conversion of this Note.

16. Payment of Collection, Enforcement and Other Costs. If (a) this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding; or (b) an attorney is retained to represent the Holder in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Note, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by the Holder for such collection, enforcement or action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

17. Cancellation. After all Principal, Interest and other amounts at any time owed under, or on account of, this Note have been paid in full or converted into Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, this Note shall automatically be deemed cancelled, shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation and shall not be reissued.

18. Registered Note. This Note may be Transferred only upon notation of such Transfer on the Register, and no Transfer thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. Until there has been a valid Transfer of this Note and of all of the rights hereunder by the Holder in accordance with this Note, the Company shall deem and treat the Holder as the absolute beneficial owner and holder of this Note and of all of the rights hereunder for all purposes (including for the purpose of receiving all payments to be made under this Note).

19. Waiver of Notice. To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby waives demand, notice, presentment, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note and the Facility Agreement.

The Company (a) agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Note or any other agreement, document, or other instrument executed in connection herewith, shall be brought exclusively in any state or federal court located within New York, New York, (b) irrevocably waives any objections which the Company may now or hereafter have to the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note, or any other agreement, document, or other instrument executed in connection herewith, brought in the aforementioned courts, (c) further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (d) hereby consents that personal service of summons or other legal process may be made as set forth in the Facility Agreement.

FORM OF OPINION

, 20_____

Re: Intersect ENT, Inc. (the “Company”)

Dear Sir:

[_______________] (“[______________]”) intends to transfer its Senior Convertible Note in the principal amount of $_________ (the “Note”) of the Company to ________ (“_____”) without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection herewith, we have examined such documents and issues of law as we have deemed relevant.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the transfer of the Note by _____________ to ______________ may be effected without registration under the Securities Act: provided, however, that the Note to be transferred to __________ shall contain a legend restricting its transferability pursuant to the Securities Act as set forth in the Note and may to a stop transfer order consistent therewith.

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,


Schedule 1

The “Additional Share Coefficient” shall mean the number of additional shares of Common Stock issuable per $1,000 of principal amount of the Note upon a Major Transaction or in respect of a Conversion Notice delivered during a Pending Redemption Period and shall be the additional share number set forth on the chart with respect to the “Share Price Result” on the “y” axis and the corresponding “Remaining Note Life” on the “x” axis; provided, however, that to the extent the actual Share Price Result (as defined below) falls between two data points on the “y” axis and/or the actual Major Transaction Effective Date (or, if applicable, the date of a Major Transaction Conversion or the date a Conversion Notice is delivered during a Pending Redemption Period) falls between two data points on the “x” axis, the “Additional Share Coefficient” shall be determined by calculating the arithmetic mean between (i) the result obtained for the Share Price Result based on the linear interpolation between the additional share numbers corresponding to the two Share Price Result data points and (ii) the result obtained for the Remaining Note Life based on the linear interpolation between the two additional share numbers corresponding to the two Remaining Note Life data points; and provided further, however, that in the event of any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 2 of this Note, the numbers of additional shares of Common Stock issuable per $1,000 of principal amount of this Note as set forth in the chart below and the maximum number of Conversion Shares set forth in the last sentence of this Schedule 1 shall be deemed adjusted pro rata with any adjustment resulting from the adjustment to the Conversion Price that would be made to the number of shares of Common Stock then convertible with respect to $1,000 of principal amount of this Note as calculated under Section 2 of this Note.

For purposes of the chart below, the “Remaining Note Life” shall be (A) with respect to a Major Transaction, the number of years remaining until the Maturity Date as of the Major Transaction Effective Date; provided, however, that in the case of a Major Transaction Conversion following a Company Share Major Transaction, the “Remaining Note Life” shall be the number of years remaining until the Maturity Date as of the Conversion Date in respect of such Major Transaction Conversion, or (B) with respect to a Conversion Notice delivered during a Pending Redemption Period, the Trading Day on which the Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the Holder.

For purposes of the chart below, the “Share Price Result” shall be, (A) in the case of a Major Transaction, the greater of: (i) the Closing Price of the Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of the Major Transaction, and (ii) in the case of a Major Transaction in which holders of shares of Common Stock receive solely cash consideration in connection with such Major Transaction, the cash amount payable per share of Common Stock in such Major Transaction and (B) in the case of a Redemption Period Conversion, the Closing Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date in respect thereof.

If the actual Share Price Result is greater than $50.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Price as provided in Section 2 of this Note), or if the actual Share Price Result is less than $9.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Price as provided in Section 2 of this Note), then the Additional Share Coefficient shall be equal to the amount applicable to $50.00 and $9.00, respectively.

23


Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Disbursement Date, by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, to an account designated by the Agent from time to time. Upon receipt of requested funds, the Agent shall make the proceeds of the Disbursement available to the Borrower by promptly wiring such amounts to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Borrower in the Disbursement Request. The Agent, unless it has received written notice from the Borrower by not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Disbursement Date that the Loans were not fully funded, shall deem the Convertible Loans to be fully funded and make the appropriate recordations in the Register. Amounts borrowed hereunder that are paid, repaid, redeemed and/or prepaid may not be re-borrowed under any circumstance.

Section 2.2 Payments; Prepayments; Make Whole Amount.

(a) The Borrower shall pay in cash to Agent, for the ratable benefit of each of the Lenders, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and all other Obligations on the earlier (such earlier date, the “Facility Termination Date”) of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date the principal amount of the Obligations is declared to be or automatically becomes due and payable following an Event of Default.

(b) No principal amount of the Loans shall be permitted to be voluntarily prepaid, repaid, redeemed or paid by any Loan Party prior to Maturity Date (other than to an Optional Redemption (as defined, and subject to the terms and conditions, set forth in the Convertible Notes)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal on Loans is prepaid, repaid, redeemed or paid at any time, for any reason (such as an acceleration of the Loans following the occurrence of an Event of Default, an exercise of any Lender Party’s rights or remedies available under the Facility Documents, or pursuant to a Major Transaction Conversion or any other conversion under the Convertible Notes), then in addition to the principal amount of the Loans so prepaid, repaid, redeemed or paid, the Borrower shall contemporaneously pay (i) any accrued and unpaid interest owed on such principal, and (ii) solely in the case of a prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment following the occurrence of an Event of Default or an exercise of any Lender Party’s rights or remedies available under the Facility Documents, or in connection with a Major Transaction Redemption or an Optional Redemption (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include any conversion of the Convertible Notes), the Make Whole Amount applicable to the principal amount of Loans so prepaid, repaid, redeemed or paid, which Make Whole Amount shall be deemed an Obligation and shall be fully earned as of the Closing Date. The Make Whole Amount shall be paid by the Borrower to the Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares of the principal amount of the Loans prepaid, repaid, redeemed or paid on the date of such prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, in light of the impracticality and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages, the Make Whole Amount is intended to be a reasonable calculation of the actual damages that would be suffered by the Lender Parties as a result of any such conversion. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that Agent and the Lenders would not have entered into this Agreement without the Loan Parties agreeing to pay the Make Whole Amount in the aforementioned instance. The Parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that the Make Whole Amount is not intended to act as a penalty or to punish the Borrowers or any other Loan Party for any such prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment.

(c) Each payment, repayment, redemption and prepayment by the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be applied (i) first, to all fees, costs and expenses (including any attorneys’ fees) owed to Agent under the Facility Documents, (ii) second, ratably to all fees, charges, costs and expenses (including any attorneys’ fees) owed to any Lender under the Facility Documents, (iii) third, ratably to accrued and unpaid interest owed to the Lenders under the Facility

 

24


Documents, (iv) fourth, ratably to the principal amount of the Loans owed to the Lenders (including any Make Whole Amount), and (v) fifth, to all other Obligations owing to Agent, any Lender or any other Lender Party, and, with respect to any such Obligations owed to the Lenders, shall be allocated among the Lenders in accordance with and in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(d) Any conversions of any principal of the Loans by any Lender into Preferred Conversion Shares or Conversion Shares shall be applied against, and reduce, and shall otherwise for all purposes hereof be deemed a repayment of, such principal amount. Promptly upon any such reduction in the principal of any Lender’s Convertible Note, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Agent of such reduction and of the reduced principal amount of such Convertible Note. For the avoidance of doubt, after all of the Obligations under or on account of this Facility Agreement and other amounts at any time owed under, or on account of, this Facility Agreement have been paid in full or converted into Common Shares in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Notes, the obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents (other than those obligations which by their terms expressly survive such termination) shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.

Section 2.3 Payment Details. All payments, prepayments, redemptions and repayments of the Obligations by the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder and under any of the other Facility Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim.

Section 2.4 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments hereunder or pursuant to any other Facility Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for Taxes except as required by Applicable Law.

As soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days, after the date of any payment of such Taxes, the applicable Loan Party shall furnish to the applicable Lender Party the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Lender.

A certificate of the applicable Lender Party setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrower shall be absolute, conclusive and binding, absent manifest error.

(d) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Facility Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for the documentation required to be provided by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(d)(ii), a Lender shall not be required to provide any information or documentation with respect to its investors that such Lender determines to be confidential.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A) Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (“U.S. Person”) shall, on or before the date on which the Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, provide to Borrower and the Agent a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is not subject to backup withholding tax.

(B) Each Lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “Foreign Lender”) shall, on or before the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, provide Borrower and the Agent with a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY or other applicable forms (together with any required supporting documentation), or any other applicable certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, and, if such Foreign Lender is relying on the portfolio interest exception of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), shall also provide the Borrower and the Agent with a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 (the “Portfolio Interest Certificate”) representing that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), is 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); provided that, if the

 

26


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 substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. Each Lender shall provide new forms (or successor forms) as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent from time to time and shall notify the Borrower and the Agent 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 and the Agent.

(iii) To the extent legally permissible, the Agent shall deliver a duly executed an IRS Form W-9 (if the Agent is a U.S. Person) or the appropriate IRS Form W-8, (if the Agent is not U.S. Person) certifying the Agent’s exemption from U.S. withholding Taxes with respect to amounts payable hereunder on or prior to the date the Agent becomes a party to this Agreement.

(e) If a payment to a Lender Party under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender Party 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 Party 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 2.4(e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) Each Lender Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered becomes inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) If a Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.4, such Lender shall promptly pay such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or Additional Amounts paid under this Section 2.4 with respect to the Taxes refunded) to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expense (including any Taxes imposed thereon) of such Lender incurred in obtaining such refund or making such payment, provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender if such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4(f), in no event shall a Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.4(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. Nothing in this Section 2.4(f) shall require any Lender to disclose any information it deems confidential (including its tax returns) to any Person, including the Borrower.

Section 2.5 Costs, Expenses and Losses. If, as a result of any failure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any sums or Obligations due under this Agreement or any other Facility Document on the due date therefor (after the expiration of any applicable grace periods, but without giving effect to any grace period after the occurrence of an Event of Default of the type set forth in Section 8.1(d)), any Lender Party shall incur costs, expenses and/or losses, by reason of the liquidation or

 

27


redeployment of deposits from third parties or in connection with obtaining funds to make or maintain the Loans, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender Party upon request by such Lender Party, the amount of such costs, expenses and/or losses within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Borrower of a certificate from such Lender Party setting forth in reasonable detail such costs, expenses and/or losses, along with supporting documentation. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, “costs, expenses and/or losses” shall include any interest paid or payable to carry any unpaid amount and any loss, premium, penalty or expense that may be incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits of or borrowings from third parties and/or third Persons in order to make, maintain or fund the Loans or any portion thereof.

Section 2.6 Interest. From and after the Closing Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, any overdue interest and any other amounts and Obligations shall bear interest at the Interest Rate (calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in each month based on a year of 360 days). Interest shall be paid in cash quarterly in arrears commencing on July 1, 2020 and on the first Business Day of each October, January, April and July thereafter (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, on the date any principal amount of the Loans is prepaid, repaid, redeemed, reduced or paid, or required to be prepaid, repaid, redeemed, reduced or paid (each such date being deemed an Interest Payment Date), for any reason hereunder (on the Maturity Date or otherwise), including a conversion under any of the Convertible Notes, all accrued but unpaid interest on such principal amount shall be payable in cash.

Section 2.7 Interest on Late Payments; Default Interest.

(a) Without limiting the remedies available to the Lender Parties under the Facility Documents or otherwise, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, if the Borrower or any other Loan Party fails to make a required payment of principal or interest on any Loan or make a required payment of any other Obligation when due (in each case subject to any cure period provided for in Section 8.1(a)), the Borrower shall pay, in respect of such principal, interest and other Obligations, interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate plus ten percent (10%) for so long as such payment remains outstanding. Such interest shall be payable in cash on demand.

(b) At the election of the Required Lenders while any Event of Default exists (or automatically while any Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(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 on which interest is payable at the rate set forth in Section 2.2(a)), if any, from and after the date of occurrence of such Event of Default, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate then in effect for the Loans, plus two percent (2.0%). Such interest shall be payable in cash on demand.

37


(h) The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken, or will take, any action designed to terminate, or that is likely to have the effect of terminating, the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act; nor has the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries received any notification that the SEC is contemplating terminating such registration.

(j) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements of the Principal Market, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, there are no facts or circumstances that would reasonably lead to delisting or suspension or termination of trading of the Common Stock on the Principal Market.

The transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, including the issuance and sale of the Convertible Notes, the Preferred Conversion Shares and the Conversion Shares hereunder and thereunder do not contravene, or require stockholder approval pursuant to, the rules and regulations of the Principal Market. The Conversion Shares have been approved for listing on the Principal Market.

(k) The Common Stock is eligible for clearing through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system, and the Borrower is eligible for and participating in the Direct Registration System (DRS) of DTC with respect to the Common Stock. The transfer agent for the Common Stock is a participant in, and the Common Stock is eligible for transfer pursuant to, DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program. The Common Stock is not, and has not at any time been, subject to any DTC “chill,” “freeze” or similar restriction with respect to any DTC services, including the clearing of transactions in shares of Common Stock through DTC.

such disclosure if the Borrower makes public disclosure (in the form of a widely disseminated press release, a public filing with the SEC or other manner compliant with Regulation FD) of the applicable Inside Information within one (1) Business Day after the delivery of such notice to the Borrower; provided, further, however, that the applicable Lender Party shall not be entitled to make such disclosure in the event that (X) within one (1) Business Day after the delivery of such notice to the Borrower, the Borrower disputes in good faith that the applicable information constitutes Inside Information and communicates that in writing to the applicable Lender Party, (Y) the Borrower (at its sole expense) within three (3) Business Days following the delivery of such notice to the Borrower submits the matter to Cooley LLP or another nationally recognized law firm with expertise in securities laws selected by the Borrower for a determination as to whether such information constitutes Inside Information, and (Z) within three (3) Business Days following the delivery of such notice to the Borrower, such law firm advises the Borrower and such Lender Party in writing that the applicable information does not constitute Inside Information.

Thereafter, the Borrower shall be permitted to make such Necessary Disclosure (only) in accordance with the Agreed Disclosure Process.

(e) The Borrower shall not (shall cause its Affiliates not to) assert that any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender is in possession of any Inside Information merely because such Inside Information was provided to the Agent or any attorney or agent of any Lender.

Without limiting any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2, any action taken by any Loan Party under or with respect to any Facility Document, even if required under any Facility Document or at the request of Agent or any other Lender Party, shall be at the sole expense of such Loan Party, and neither Agent nor any other Lender Party shall be required under any Facility Document to reimburse any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party therefor. The obligations and provisions contained in this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations.

Section 9.3 Governing Law; Venue; Jurisdiction; Service of Process; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) This Agreement and the other Facility Documents (unless otherwise expressly stated therein) shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

(b) Each Party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, unless otherwise expressly stated therein, the other Facility Documents (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 (and, in each case, the applicable state and federal appeals courts sitting in the City of New York or, if not available or applicable, the State of New York). Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or under the other Facility Documents or in connection herewith or with the other Facility Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding; provided that nothing in this Agreement or in any other Facility Document shall limit the right of any Lender Party to commence any suit, action or proceeding in federal, state or other court of any other jurisdiction to the extent such Lender Party determines that such suit, action or proceeding is necessary or appropriate to exercise its rights or remedies under this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents.

 

56


(c) 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. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(d) THE PARTIES HERETO, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENTS AND ANY OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO OTHER PARTY AND NO AGENT, REPRESENTATIVE OR OTHER PERSON AFFILIATED WITH OR RELATED TO ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE FACILITY DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.3. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT IT HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE JURY WAIVER CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 9.3 WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

Section 9.4 Successors and Assigns.

(a) This Agreement shall bind and inure to the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Parties, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations (including the Obligations) under the Facility Documents without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders, and any prohibited assignment by any of the Loan Parties shall be absolutely void ab initio.

(b) Any Lender may assign or transfer its rights or the Obligations owing to it under the Facility Documents without the consent of any Party; provided, however, that (y) unless an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or (d) has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall be required if the assignee or transferee is a Disqualified Lender. Upon a Lender’s assignment of any of the Loans held by it (in accordance with this Section 9.4(b)), the Agent shall record the identity of the transferee and other relevant information in the Register, and the transferee shall (to the extent of the interests transferred to such transferee) have all the rights and obligations of, and shall be deemed, a Lender with respect to such Loan hereunder or under the other Facility Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, each assignment or transfer of the rights or Obligations of any Lender shall be subject only to the following conditions: (i) the parties to each assignment or transfer shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment and Assumption and, (ii) upon the reasonable request by Agent, the assignee or transferee shall provide all documentation and other information reasonably determined by Agent to be required by applicable regulatory authorities required under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act.

(c) In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.4, each Lender Party may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under the Facility 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 Lender Party’s Indebtedness or equity securities.

 

57


(d) Each Loan Party 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 Facility 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 Facility Document. Each Loan Party hereby agrees, and agrees to cause each of its Subsidiaries, 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.

Section 9.5 Entire Agreement; Amendments.

(a) The Facility 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) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.5(c), no amendment, restatement, modification, supplement, change, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents, and no consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Borrower and the Required Lenders (with a copy to the Agent); provided that no such amendment, restatement, modification, change, termination, waiver or consent shall, without the consent of each Lender with Obligations directly and adversely affected thereby, do any of the following: (i) reduce the principal amount of any Loan; (ii) postpone the Maturity Date or other scheduled final maturity date of any Loan, or postpone the date or reduce the amount of any scheduled payment (but not mandatory prepayment) of principal of any Loan; (iii) postpone the date on which any interest, premium or any fees are payable (other than default interest charged pursuant to Section 2.7(b)); (iv) decrease the interest rate borne by any Loan (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 (including, without limitation, the Make Whole Amount); (v) amend this Section 9.5 or any provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Documents providing for consent or other action by all Lenders; (vi) amend, modify, change or waive the provisions contained in (A) this Section 9.5 in a manner that would further restrict the rights of any Lender to assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (B) Section 9.5(d); provided, further, that no such amendment, restatement, modification, change, termination, waiver or consent shall, without the consent of each Lender, do any of the following: (x) change in any manner any provision of this Agreement that by its terms, expressly requires the approval or consent of all Lenders; (y) release all or substantially all of the value of the guarantees of the Obligations provided by the Guarantors, in each case, other than in accordance with the terms of the Facility Documents; or (z)(A) change or have the effect of changing the pro rata treatment of any payments (including voluntary and mandatory prepayments), or (B) advance the date fixed for, or increase, any scheduled installment of principal due to any of the Lenders under any Facility Document.

(c) No amendment, restatement, supplement, modification, change, termination, waiver or consent of any provision of any Facility Document shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent, (i) amend, restate, supplemented, modify, change, terminate or waive (or consent to any diversion from) any provision of this Section 9.5(c) or of any other provision of this

 

58


Agreement or any other Facility Document that, by its terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of Agent, (ii) reduce the amount or postpone the due date of or waives any fees, expenses and/or indemnities payable to Agent hereunder or under the other Facility Documents or (iii) or otherwise affect the rights, benefits, liabilities or duties of Agent under this Agreement or any other Facility Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.5(b), Agent and the Borrower may amend or modify this Agreement and any other Facility Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency therein.

(d) No consideration shall be offered or paid (in any form, whether cash, Stock, other property or otherwise) to any Lender to amend, restate, supplement, modify or change or consent to a waiver of (or a diversion from) any provision of any of the Facility Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the Lenders under the Facility Documents.

Section 9.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Facility 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. The Parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

Section 9.7 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.

Section 9.8 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made in the Facility Documents, and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant thereto or in connection therewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents and the making of the Loans hereunder or thereunder (and shall continue to be made in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof after) regardless of any investigation made by any such other Party or on its behalf.

Section 9.9 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Facility Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

Section 9.10 Indemnity.

(a) The Loan Parties shall, at all times, indemnify and hold harmless (the “Indemnity”) Agent, each Lender, each other Lender Party, each of their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) in connection with any claims or proceedings (including the reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees incurred in defending against such claims or proceedings) arising out of, or relating to, the Facility Documents, the extension of credit under the Facility Documents or the Loans or the other Obligations, the use or intended use of the Loans or the other Obligations and the issuance of the Securities (including any transactions or assets financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, therewith), any disclosure made pursuant to

 

59


Section 6.12, or the status of a Lender or other holder of Securities as an investor in any Loan Party, that an Indemnified Person may incur or to which an Indemnified Person may become subject (each, a “Loss”). The Indemnity shall not be available to any Indemnified Person to the extent that a court or arbitral tribunal of competent jurisdiction issues a final and non-appealable judgment that such Loss resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. The Indemnity is independent of, and in addition to, any other agreement of any Party under the Registration Rights Agreement or any other Facility Document to indemnify or any amount to the any of the Lender Parties, and any exclusion of any obligation to pay any amount under this Section 9.10(a) shall not affect the requirement to pay such amount under any other section or provision hereof or under any other agreement, instrument or document. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.10 shall not apply to Taxes, other than Indemnified Taxes and any Taxes 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 Loan Parties. The indemnification required by this Section 9.10 shall be made and paid by such Loan Parties as Losses are incurred within ten (10) Business Days of written demand by such Indemnified Person.

(c) No settlement of (or any other agreement or arrangement related to) any Loss shall be entered into by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Person.

(d) No Loan Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, 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 any of the other Facility 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 this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 9.11 No Usury. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the highest lawful rate permitted by Applicable Law, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the highest lawful rate permitted by Applicable Law until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest that would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration that constitutes interest in excess of the highest lawful rate permitted by Applicable Law, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Loan Parties.

Section 9.12 Specific Performance. The Loan Parties agree (and agree on behalf of their Subsidiaries) 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 Facility Documents is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached. In light of the foregoing, the Loan Parties

 

60


hereby agree that the Lender Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of the Facility Documents and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof without proof of damages or otherwise and without any obligation to post a bond or other security.

Section 9.13 Agent.

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Deerfield Partners, L.P. (together with any successor Agent appointed by Deerfield Partners, L.P. or any successor Agent that was appointed by the Required Lenders), as Agent hereunder and under the other Facility Documents and authorizes Agent to (i) execute and deliver the Facility Documents to which it is a party 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 Facility Documents and (iii) exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Facility 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 Facility Document or otherwise exist against Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in other Facility 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. The provisions of this Section 9.13 are solely for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders and none of the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions in this Section 9.13. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, 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 Loan Party. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Facility Documents, by or through its agents, subagents, servicers, trustees, investment managers or employees and any such Person shall benefit from this Section 9.13 to the extent provided by Agent. Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Facility 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 Loan Party, Affiliate of any Loan Party as if it were not Agent hereunder. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

(b) Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Facility Document by or through agents, subagents, 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, subagent 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.

 

61


(c) Neither 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 Facility 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 Facility Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Facility Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Facility Document, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Facility 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 Facility Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Loan Party’s Affiliates.

(d) Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication 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 Facility Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, 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) that 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 Facility Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon each Lender.

(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 Facility 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 the Required Lenders may direct; provided that, unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent shall not take any such action, or refrain from taking any such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default.

(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 Facility Documents and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder and

 

62


under the other Facility 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 Facility 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 that may come into the possession of Agent.

(g) Other than with respect to the matters described in clause (i) below, which shall be governed by such clause, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall severally 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 the Loan Parties 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 Facility 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 gross negligence or willful misconduct. No action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.13(g). Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender’s 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 Facility 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 9.13(g) shall survive repayment of the Loans and the other Obligations, any modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Facility Documents, termination of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

(h) Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders, and the Required Lenders have the right, at their sole election, to remove the Person serving as Agent upon ten (10) days’ notice to Agent (or immediately upon any material breach of Agent of its obligations under the Facility Documents). If Agent resigns under this Agreement or the Required Lenders remove the Person serving as Agent, the Required 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 or removal 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 or removed Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be immediately and automatically terminated at such time. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9.13 shall inure to its benefit (in its capacity as Agent) as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it

 

63


was Agent under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date that is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation (or at the time of removal of a Person as Agent), the retiring Agent’s resignation or removal shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.

(i) Each Lender further agrees to indemnify Agent, its Affiliates and each of its and their employees, advisors, attorneys, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by any Loan Party), severally and ratably, from and against Liabilities (including Taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent, its Affiliates or any of its or their employees, advisors, attorneys, representatives or agents in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Facility Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent, its Affiliates or any of its or their employees, advisors, attorneys, representatives or agents under or with respect to any of the foregoing.

Section 9.14 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 9.15 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 Facility Documents, including the offer, sale and issuance of the Securities. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall pay, and hold each of the Lender 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 9.16 Independent Nature of Lender Parties. The obligations of each Lender Party under the Facility Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Lender Party, and no Lender Party shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Lender Party under the Facility Documents. Each Lender Party shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants under the Facility Documents. The decision of each Lender Party to acquire the Securities pursuant to the Facility Documents has been made by such Lender Party independently of any other Lender Party 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 that may have been made or given by any other Lender Party or by any agent, attorney, advisor, representative or employee of any other Lender Party, and no Lender Party or any of its agents, attorneys, advisors, representatives or employees shall have any liability to any other Lender Party (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained in the Facility Documents, and no action taken by any Lender Party pursuant hereto or thereto (including a Lender Party’s acquisition of Obligations, Convertible Notes, or any other Securities at the same time as any other Lender Party), shall be deemed to constitute the Lender Parties as, and each of the Loan Parties acknowledges and agrees that the Lender Parties do not thereby constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Lender 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 Facility Documents, and none of the Loan Parties shall assert any contrary position.

 

64


Section 9.17 No Fiduciary Relationship. Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges and agrees that (a) each Lender Party is acting at arm’s length from the Loan Parties with respect to this Agreement and the other Facility Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; (b) no Lender Party will, by virtue of this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, be (nor, to the Loan Parties’ knowledge, otherwise is) an Affiliate of, or have any agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship with, any Loan Party; (c) no Lender Party has acted, or is or will be acting, as a financial advisor to, or fiduciary (or in any similar capacity) of, or has any fiduciary or similar duty to, any Loan Party with respect to, or in connection with, this Agreement and the other Facility Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and each of the Loan Parties agreed not to assert, and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, any claim that any Lender Party has any fiduciary duty to such Loan Party; (d) any advice given by a Lender Party or any of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the other Facility Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Lender Party’s performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder (including, in the case of each of the Lenders, its acquisition of the Securities); and (e) the Loan Parties’ decision to enter into the Facility Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Loan Parties and their representatives.

Section 9.18 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Loan Parties and the Lender Parties 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 Facility Documents. No Lender Party shall have any obligation to any Person not a party to this Agreement or the other Facility Documents.

Section 9.19 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 and the Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 9.20 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. No Lender 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 Lender Party receives a payment from the Borrower, from any other Loan Party, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, from 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 rights and remedies therefor shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.

Section 9.21 Right of Setoff. Each Lender 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 Lender 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 Facility 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 the Required Lenders. The rights under this Section 9.21 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that any Lender Party or any of its Affiliates may have.

 

65


Section 9.22 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) (and other than pursuant to Section 9.4) 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 Facility 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 9.23 Certain Securities Matters. Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges and agrees that none of the Lender Parties or holders of the Securities has been asked to agree, nor has any Lender Party agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, Stock or other securities of the Borrower, or “derivative” securities or Stock based on Stock or other securities issued by the Borrower or to hold the Securities for any specified term; and no Lender Party nor holder of Securities shall be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counterparty in any “derivative” transaction. Each of the Loan Parties further acknowledges and agrees that (a) one or more Lender Parties or holders of Securities may engage in hedging and/or trading activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, (b) such hedging and/or trading activities, if any, can reduce the value of the Common Stock or other Stock held by the existing holders of Common Stock or other Stock of the Borrower, both at and after the time the hedging and/or trading activities are being conducted; (c) any such hedging and/or trading activities shall not constitute a breach of any Facility Document or affect any of the rights of any Lender Party or holder of Securities under any Facility Document; (d) the issuance of any Conversion Shares may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions; and (e) the Obligations, including the Borrower’s obligation to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim any Loan Party may have against any of the Lender Parties and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Borrower.

WHEREAS:

A. In connection with the Facility Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company, the Lender, the other Loan Parties (as defined therein) and Deerfield Partners, L.P., as agent for itself and the Secured Parties (as defined therein) (as the same has heretofore been amended, modified, restated or otherwise supplemented, the “Facility Agreement”), the Company is on the date hereof issuing senior convertible notes to the Lender (such senior convertible notes, together with any notes issued in exchange or substitution therefor or replacement thereof, as the same may be amended, restated or modified and in effect from time to time, the “Notes”; and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, without regard to any limitation on conversion thereof, being referred to as the “Shares”).

To induce the Lender to execute and deliver the Facility Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the “Securities Act”), and applicable state securities laws.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Lender hereby agree as follows:

2. REGISTRATION.

a. MANDATORY REGISTRATION. (i) Following the date of this Agreement, 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 all 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 conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Notes 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 6,309,459, subject to adjustment for any Stock Event (as defined in the Notes) occurring prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement.

(ii) If for any reason, despite the Company’s use of its reasonable best efforts to include all of the Registrable Securities requested or required to be included in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) (and subject to Section 3(q) below), the SEC does not permit all such Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement, or for any other reason any such Registrable Securities are not then included in a Registration Statement, then the Company

 

3


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 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 all Registrable Securities requested or required to be included in such Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) and not already covered by an existing and effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415.

(iii) Subject to any SEC comments, any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall include a “plan of distribution” approved by the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement. No Investor shall be named as an “underwriter” in the Registration Statement without the Investor’s prior written consent. 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 Legal Counsel (as defined below) prior to its filing or other submission.

b. PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATIONS. If at any time prior to the expiration of the Registration Period (as defined below) the Company shall determine (i) to file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating (in whole or in part) to an offering of shares of Common Stock 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 (other than “at the market” or “registered direct” offerings on behalf of the Company), the Company shall send to each Investor written notice of such determination at least ten (10) days prior to the anticipated filing date of the registration statement and, if within five (5) days after the receipt 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

 

4


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. 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 the foregoing, if, prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement described in Section 2(b) above, the Company determines for any reason not to proceed with the offering, the Company shall give notice to the Investors and shall be relieved of its obligation to Register any Registrable Securities in connection with such Registration Statement (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be relieved of its obligations pursuant to Section 6).

c. NOTICES. Each Investor acknowledges and agrees that, in the event the Company would be required by the terms of this Section 2 to provide notice to such Investor of the filing of any Registration Statement (including for purposes of an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof) in which any Registrable Securities of any Investor are eligible to be included, the Company shall provide such notice only to counsel to such Investor (which shall be Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP (Attn: Mark D. Wood and Mark Ramsey) or such other counsel as shall have been designated by such Investor), unless such Investor has given prior written instructions to the contrary to the Company.

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), such Registration Statements with respect to the Registrable Securities as provided in Section 2(a), 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 applicable Registration Deadline, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement current and effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times after its effective date 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 pursuant to such Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 and (ii) 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 or related thereto), 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

 

5


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. If the Company is a “well-known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) and to the extent permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to the Company, at the time the Company is requested or required hereunder to file a Registration Statement or amendment to a Registration Statement hereunder, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file the Registration Statement or amendment as an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act).

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 conversion of the Notes, without giving effect to any limitations on the Investors’ ability to convert the Notes, 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 conversion contained in the Notes) 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 reasonable 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 Market, or if not the NASDAQ Global Market, 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 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, 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 thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought or intends to seek confidential treatment, which contains or reflects any material non-public information with respect to the Company or its securities 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 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 thereto. The Company will promptly respond to any and all comments received from the SEC with respect to any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, with a view towards causing each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto to become effective (to the extent required, by declaration or ordering of effectiveness, of such Registration Statement or amendment 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 the extent required for such Registration Statement or amendment to become effective, by declaration or ordering of effectiveness, of such Registration Statement or amendment by the SEC) to a time and date not later than two (2) Business Days after the submission of such request. No later than the first Business Day after the Registration Statement becomes effective, the Company shall file with the SEC the final Prospectus included in the Registration Statement 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; except that in no event shall the Company be required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it would not, but for the requirements of this paragraph (d), be required to be so qualified, to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction, except where the Company is then already required to be so qualified, already subject to taxation or required to consent to general service of process.

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, subject to Section 3(r), shall use its reasonable best efforts to 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 as promptly as reasonably practicable 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, in each case as promptly as reasonably practicable.

g. The Company shall permit one outside legal counsel designated by the Investors (which shall be Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP (Attn: Mark D. Wood) or such other counsel as shall have been 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 but excluding the Company’s filings under the Exchange Act), a reasonable period of time prior to their filing with the SEC (not less than five (5) but not more than ten (10) Business Days prior to such filing) 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 Agreement 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, and to arrange for at least two market makers to register with 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.

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 DTC 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 two (2) Business Days after a Registration Statement which includes Registrable Securities becomes effective, the Company shall deliver, and, if required by the transfer agent, 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 or transfer (as applicable) 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, in each case as promptly as is reasonably practicable.

m. The Company shall not, and shall not agree to, allow the holders of any Common Stock or other securities of the Company to include any of their securities (other than Registrable Securities) in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) 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) 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. 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).

o. 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.

p. 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 legal 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(p), 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(p) shall be imposed on a pro rata basis (based upon the Registrable Securities held by each of the Investors).

q. Subject to the limitations contained herein, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all other reasonable actions arising out of its obligations under this Agreement and necessary to facilitate the disposition by the Investors of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

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, and (C) the first day of any Grace Period must be at least ten (10) days after the last day of any prior Grace Period (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, 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.” 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.

 

10


s. The Company shall not grant any Person any registration rights with respect to shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company other than registration rights that will not adversely affect the rights of the Investors hereunder (including by limiting in any way the number of Registrable Securities that could be included in any Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415) and shall not otherwise enter into any agreement that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Investors hereunder.

t. At all times during the Registration Period, (a) the Common Stock shall be eligible for clearing through DTC, through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system; (b) the Company shall be eligible and participating in the Direct Registration System (DRS) of DTC with respect to the Common Stock; (c) the transfer agent for the Common Stock is a participant in, and the Common Stock shall be eligible for transfer pursuant to, DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (or successor thereto); and (d) the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Common Stock to not at any time be subject to any DTC “chill,” “freeze” or similar restriction with respect to any DTC services, including the clearing of shares of Common Stock through DTC, and, in the event the Common Stock becomes subject to any DTC “chill,” “freeze” or similar restriction with respect to any DTC services, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any such “chill,” “freeze” or similar restriction to be removed at the earliest possible time.

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; provided,

 

11


that no Investor including Registrable Securities in any underwritten offering shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters other than representations and warranties regarding such Investor, such Investor’s ownership of its Registrable Securities to be sold in the offering and such Investor’s intended method of distribution or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto except to the extent expressly set forth in Section 7 hereof.

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); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit or require the Investor to discontinue the settlement of any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or 3(f).

5. REGISTRATION FAILURE. In the event of a Registration Failure, the Investors shall be entitled to damages as set forth in Section 4 of the Notes and such other rights as set forth in the Notes.

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 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 and 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 and employees of, 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 or 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

 

12


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 related Prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or 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 by such failure 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 Person 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.

 

13


c. Each Investor will indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) the Company, and (ii) the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees and 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 or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, 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 or Prospectus. 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 an Investor. 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 10, the Company, within ten (10) days, shall file any amendments or supplements necessary to keep a Registration Statement current, effective and available for the resale of all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415, and the unavailability of a Registration Statement for the resale of such Registrable Securities by such transferee shall not constitute a Registration Failure or Event of Default under the Notes during such ten (10) day period. Each Investor shall at all times comply with the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 14 of the Notes (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 Notes 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 conversion of the Notes or other securities), and solely for purposes hereof, Registrable Securities shall be deemed outstanding to the extent they are directly or indirectly issuable upon conversion of the Notes or other outstanding securities, Registrable Securities, without giving effect to any limits on exercise, conversion or exchange of the Notes 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 Notes or other securities upon exercise, conversion or exchange of which such Registrable Securities are directly or indirectly issuable).

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.

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 and any amendments hereto may be executed and delivered in two or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto is delivered by facsimile transmission, by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file or by other electronic means, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile, “.pdf” or other electronic signature page were an original thereof. No party hereto shall raise the use of a facsimile machine, e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file or other electronic means to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that such signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine, e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file or other electronic means as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract, and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.

The Company 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 Investors 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.

18

p. 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 (iii) the use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than limitation.

Intersect ENT Reports First Quarter 2020 Results

MENLO PARK, Calif. — May 11, 2020 — Intersect ENT, Inc. (Nasdaq: XENT), a company transforming care for patients with ear, nose and throat (“ENT”) conditions, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

First Quarter 2020 Overview

 

   

Revenue of $19.8 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $26.7 million in the first quarter of 2019

 

   

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments of $87.7 million as of March 31, 2020, compared to $90.6 million as of December 31, 2019.

Total revenue was $19.8 million for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $26.7 million for the same period of 2019. This decrease resulted primarily from the impact of hospitals suspending elective surgical procedures and reduced ENT office visits related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The PROPEL® family of products revenue for the quarter was $19.1 million. Overall, we expect revenue to decline markedly in the second quarter of 2020 followed by a steadily improving environment in the second half of 2020.

“We began the first quarter of 2020 with robust revenues reflecting strategies we implemented in the second half of 2019 to improve commercial execution and market access,” said Thomas A. West, President and CEO. “With most sinus surgery procedures postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, instead of cancelled, we are now preparing to restart our commercial efforts and production and as procedures begin to resume. Our actions to preserve capital and remain financially flexible in the near-term will allow us to aggressively deploy resources as market conditions return to normal. By taking advantage of the restoration in elective sinus procedures and potential accelerated rebound from pent-up demand, we believe we are positioning the Company to once again achieve sequential quarterly growth in the back-half of 2020 and quarterly year-on-year growth in 2021 and beyond.”

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2020 was $13.4 million and gross margin was 68%, compared to gross profit of $22.0 million and gross margin of 83% for the same period of 2019. The impact of COVID-19 on the quarter reduced gross margin by approximately 10%.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2020 were $31.3 million, compared to $33.5 million in the same period of 2019. R&D expenses decreased to $5.1 million from $6.3 million. SG&A expenses decreased to $26.2 million from $27.2 million.

The balance of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments was $87.7 million, compared to $90.6 million at the start of the year.

COVID-19 Updates

The Company has provided the following updates on its previously announced actions to support customers and maintain business continuity in response to the COVID-19 pandemic:

 

   

Protect Health and Safety: Virtually all roles remain working from home, based on state and county guidelines, and non-essential business travel is limited.

 

   

Maintain Customer Focus: All patient-support teams remain available to assist customers and patients, while strictly adhering to applicable restrictions, safety precautions and procedures.

 

   

Reduce Costs: The Company continues to enact cost reduction actions to curtail its spending that include: a) furloughing and reducing its workforce, b) freezing new hiring, c) suspending near-term production, d) reducing discretionary operating expenses and capital expenditures, and e) delaying clinical research projects.

In addition, and after the close of the quarter, the Company took aggressive action to reduce its use of cash in 2020 and beyond while continuing to position the Company to return to year-on-year quarterly revenue growth in 2021. As part of these actions, the Company reduced its total workforce by approximately 25% and furloughed an additional 5%. Further actions reduced expenses and capital expenditures, suspended production through the fall, and delayed starting certain clinical efforts until later in 2020. In total, the reduction in cash use in 2020 was approximately $40 million from original expectations in January. As a result of these actions and the capital raise of $65 million that we announced earlier, we believe we have adequate capital to operate effectively through 2022.

Outlook

As previously announced on April 13, 2020, Intersect ENT withdrew its annual guidance for 2020 due to the rapidly evolving environment and continued uncertainties resulting from the impact of COVID-19. While the Company cannot predict the extent or duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its financial and operating results, we believe current government policies, including the suspension of elective procedures worldwide, will substantially impact its revenues in the second quarter of 2020 and potentially longer. However, we also believe, based on survey data with physicians, a recovery in procedures will begin in the second half of 2020, and that most patients will return for treatment.

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements in this press release regarding Intersect ENT’s expectations regarding its first quarter 2020 financial results, the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its business, and its belief that it will be able to return to growth as the current crisis subsides, are “forward-looking” statements. These forward-looking statements are based on Intersect ENT’s current expectations and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties. These statements and risks include: the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown and could continue, and be more severe, than Intersect ENT currently expects; the unknown state of the U.S. economy following the pandemic; the level of demand for Intersect ENT’s products as the pandemic subsides; the ability of Intersect ENT to effectively and efficiently resume full commercial and manufacturing operations; the time it will take for the economy to recover from the pandemic; and the sufficiency of capital to run the Company through 2022. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties, and others which are described in the Company’s latest Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) available at the SEC’s Internet site (www.sec.gov). Intersect ENT does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements and expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein, except as required by law.
