Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 29, 2018, LiveXLive Media, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), with JGB Partners, LP, JGB Capital, LP and JGB (Cayman) Finlaggan Ltd. (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company sold, in a private placement transaction (the “Financing”), for an aggregate cash purchase price of $10 million, $10.64 million in aggregate principal amount, of its 12.75% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures due June 29, 2021 (the “Debentures”).

 

The Debentures mature on June 29, 2021, accrue interest at 12.75% per year and are convertible into shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at a conversion price of $10.00 per share at the holder’s option, subject to certain customary adjustments such as stock splits, stock dividends and stock combinations (the “Conversion Price”). Commencing with the calendar month of December 2018 (subject to the following sentence), the holders of the Debentures will have the right, at their option, to require the Company to redeem an aggregate of up to $170,000 of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures per month. For the month of December 2018, the holders may not submit a redemption notice for such a redemption prior to December 28, 2018. The Company will be required to promptly, but in any event no more than two trading days after a holder delivers a redemption notice to the Company, pay the applicable redemption amount in cash or, at the Company’s election and subject to certain conditions, in shares of Common Stock. At the Company’s election and subject to certain limitations, the Company may also pay interest in shares of Common Stock. If the Company elects to pay the redemption amount or interest in shares of Common Stock, then, subject to the next sentence, the shares will be delivered based on a price (the “Stock Payment Price”) equal to the lesser of (a) a 10% discount to the average of the three lowest daily volume weighted average prices of the Common Stock over the prior 20 trading days, or (b) the Conversion Price, subject to a certain minimum price per share and if certain conditions are met. The Company will not have the right to, and will not, make any redemption or interest payment in shares of Common Stock unless and until it has obtained the requisite consent of its stockholders under the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) or if the issuance of shares as a result of such election would reduce the number of shares that the Company is permitted to issue under Nasdaq listing standards upon the conversion in full of the Debentures.

 

Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, at any time after June 28, 2019, the Company may elect to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Debentures for a prepayment amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Debentures plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, together with a prepayment premium equal to the following(a) if the Debentures are prepaid after June 29, 2019, but on or prior to December 29, 2019, 10% of the entire outstanding principal balance of the Debentures; (b) if the Debentures are prepaid on or after December 30, 2019, but on or prior to June 29, 2020, 8% of the entire outstanding principal balance of the Debentures; and (c) if the Debentures are prepaid on or after June29, 2020, but prior to the maturity date of the Debentures, 6% of the entire outstanding principal balance of the Debentures. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company may elect to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Debentures in connection with a change of control transaction (as defined in the Debentures) for a prepayment amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Debentures plus (i) if the Debentures are prepaid on or after their original issue date, but on or prior to June 29, 2019, all remaining regularly scheduled interest to be paid on the Debentures from the date of such payment of the Debentures to, but excluding, June 29, 2019, plus 10% of the entire outstanding principal balance of the Debentures; and (ii) if the Debentures are prepaid after June 29, 2019, for the prepayment amounts described above.

 

The Company’s obligations under the Debentures can be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default. In the event of default and acceleration of the Company’s obligations, the Company would be required to pay the applicable prepayment amount described above.

 

The Company’s obligations under the Debentures have been guaranteed under a Subsidiary Guarantee (the “Subsidiary Guarantee”) by its wholly owned subsidiaries, Slacker, Inc., LiveXLive, Corp. and LXL Studios, Inc. (the “Guarantors”). The Company’s obligations under the Debentures and the Guarantors’ obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee are secured under a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) by a lien on all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ assets, subject to certain exceptions.

 

  1  

 

 

The Debentures contain customary affirmative and restrictive covenants and representations and warranties, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, investments, dispositions of assets, organizational document amendments, issuance of disqualified stock, change of control transactions, stock repurchases, indebtedness repayments, dividends, the creation of subsidiaries, affiliate transactions, deposit accounts and certain other matters. The Company must also maintain a specified minimum cash balance, meet certain financial targets, and maintain minimum amounts of liquidity.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the SPA, the Debentures, the Subsidiary Guarantee and the Security Agreement (collectively, the “Financing Documents”) do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of the of the Financing Documents which are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Financing Documents were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Financing Documents, and may be subject to exceptions and limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Accordingly, the Financing Documents are incorporated herein by reference only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Financing Documents, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company or its business, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in the Company’s periodic reports and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On the June 29, 2018, the Company’s subsidiary, Slacker, Inc., paid off all obligations owing under, and terminated, the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of May 6, 2015, between Slacker, Inc. and Silicon Valley Bank in aggregate amount equal to $3.5 million.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information set forth under Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.02 in its entirety. The Company issued the Debentures to the Purchasers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided for under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The Company relied on this exemption from registration for private placements based in part on the representations made by the Purchasers, including representations with respect to each Purchaser’s status as an accredited investor, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act, and each Purchaser’s investment intent. The initial maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures is 1,064,000 shares of Common Stock.

a) Different Denominations . This Debenture is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Debentures of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be payable for such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

b) Investment Representations . This Debenture has been issued subject to certain investment representations of the original Holder set forth in the Purchase Agreement and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Purchase Agreement and applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations.

 

c) Reliance on Debenture Register . Prior to due presentment for transfer to the Company of this Debenture, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the Person in whose name this Debenture is duly registered on the Debenture Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Debenture is overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 4 . Monthly Redemption; Voluntary Conversion; Delivery of Debenture Shares .

 

a) Monthly Redemption .

 

i. Commencing with the calendar month of December 2018 (it being understood that the for the month of December 2018, the Holder may not submit a Holder Redemption Notice prior to December 29, 2018), the Holder shall have the right, at its option, to require the Company to redeem up to the Monthly Allowance per calendar month (the “ Holder Redemption Right ”) in accordance with this Section 4(a) . The Holder may exercise its Holder Redemption Right for a calendar month, at any time and from time to time, during such calendar month, by sending one or more written notices, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each a “ Holder Redemption Notice ”), to the Company by not later than the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of such calendar month, which Holder Redemption Notices shall specify the principal amount to be redeemed (such principal amount, the “ Holder Principal Redemption Amount ,” and such Holder Principal Redemption Amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Holder Redemption Payment Date, the “ Holder Redemption Amount ”); provided, however, that the Holder may not deliver more than 4 Holder Redemption Notices in any given calendar month. The Company shall in no event more than 2 Trading Days after the date that the Holder delivers a Holder Redemption Notice to the Company (the “ Holder Redemption Payment Date ”) (1) if this Debenture is Stock Off on the date that the Holder delivers the Holder Redemption Notice to the Company, pay to the Holder in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to the Holder Redemption Amount specified in the Holder Redemption Notice or (2) if this Debenture is Stock On on the date that the Holder delivers such Holder Redemption Notice to the Company, deliver to the Holder shares of Common Stock as provided in this Section 4(a) . For the avoidance of doubt, payment in cash or shares of Common Stock shall be determined according to the status of the Debenture as Stock On or Stock Off on the date that the Holder delivers the Holder Redemption Notice to the Company and not the Holder Redemption Payment Date. For the further avoidance of doubt, the Holder and the Company agree that the Holder may deliver more than 1 Holder Redemption Notice during a calendar month provided that the sum of the Holder Redemption Amounts set forth in all of the Holder Redemption Notices delivered during such calendar month does not exceed the Monthly Allowance. For the further avoidance of doubt, no reduction in the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture (as a result of conversion, redemption or otherwise) shall reduce or otherwise have any effect on the amount of the Monthly Allowance, which shall remain unchanged regardless of any such reduction in the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, except that the Monthly Allowance shall not exceed the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will not have the right to, and will not, make any Stock On election unless and until it has obtained the Requisite Stockholder Approval or if the issuance of shares as a result of such election would reduce the number of shares that the Company is permitted to issue under the listing standards of the Principal Market upon the conversion in full of this Debenture by the Holder pursuant to Section 4(b) .

 

  20  

 

 

ii. Subject to the last sentence of Section 4(a)(i) , with respect to each calendar month during the term of this Debenture, the Company shall elect whether this Debenture shall be Stock On or Stock Off for such calendar month by delivering, no later than the third Trading Day prior to the first day of such calendar month, a written notice (a “ Stock On/Off Notice ”) to the Holder of the Company’s election to pay any Holder Redemption Amounts under Section 4(a)(i) in shares of Common Stock (“ Stock On ”) or in cash (“ Stock Off ”) during such calendar month; provided, however, that the Company’s failure to timely deliver such notice will be deemed to be an election that this Debenture is Stock Off for the related calendar month (and no such failure will be deemed to be an Event of Default). The Company shall make the same election of Stock On or Stock Off with respect to all of the outstanding Debentures. If the Company fails to deliver the Stock On/Off Notice by the date required herein for any calendar month, the Company shall be deemed to have delivered a Stock On/Off Notice electing Stock Off for such calendar month. Once delivered (or deemed delivered) a Stock On/Off Notice shall be irrevocable as to the applicable calendar month and the Company may not change its election for such calendar month. If the Company elects Stock On in such Stock On/Off Notice, then the Company shall certify in such notice that the Equity Conditions are satisfied. In addition, to the extent that the Company elects Stock On, on the Trading Day prior to the first day of the applicable calendar month (such Trading Day, the “ Monthly Redemption Advance Date ”), the Company shall deliver to the Holder’s or its broker’s DTC account a number of freely tradable shares of Common Stock free from restrictive legends (“ Monthly Redemption Advance Shares ”) equal to the quotient of (x) the Monthly Allowance and (y) the applicable Stock Payment Price. For example, if the Stock Payment Price for the applicable Monthly Redemption Advance Date is $5.00 per share, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a number of Monthly Redemption Advance Shares equal to [34,000] shares (e.g., $[170,000]/$5.00). For the avoidance of doubt and purposes of clarification, the Monthly Redemption Advance Shares are an advance on the Stock Payment Shares that the Holder anticipates receiving pursuant to Section 4(a)(iv) and shall not be deemed a payment of principal or interest hereunder except as provided in Section 4(a)(iv) .

 

iii. If the Equity Conditions cease, for any reason, to be satisfied while this Debenture is Stock On (an “ Equity Conditions Failure ”), then, unless such Equity Conditions Failure is waived in writing by the Holder, this Debenture shall immediately be deemed to be Stock Off. The Company shall promptly, but in any event within 1 Trading Day, notify the Holder of any Equity Conditions Failure and, unless such Equity Conditions Failure is waived in writing by the Holder, the Company shall not be permitted to make any Holder Redemption Payments during such calendar month in shares of Common Stock and all Holder Redemption Amounts for the remainder of such calendar month shall be made in cash as provided herein.

 

  21  

 

 

iv. With respect to each Holder Redemption Notice delivered to the Company pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) at a time when this Debenture was Stock On, subject to the provisions of this Section 4(a)(iv) , the Company shall, in payment of the related Holder Redemption Amount deliver to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (x) such Holder Redemption Amount divided by (y) the applicable Stock Payment Price(such quotient of (x) and (y), the “ Stock Payment Shares ”), by not later than the applicable Holder Redemption Payment Date; provided, that if the Holder has actually received Monthly Redemption Advance Shares, the number of Stock Payment Shares deliverable pursuant to this sentence shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the excess (if any) of the Monthly Redemption Advance Shares actually received by the Holder over the aggregate number of Stock Payment Shares that were deliverable pursuant to this Section 4(a)(iv) for all other prior Holder Redemption Notices given during the same calendar month (such excess, as the Monthly Redemption Advance Shares may be further reduced pursuant to the last sentence of Section 4(d) , the “ Available Advance Shares ”). For example, if, with respect to a particular calendar month, the Company delivered 30,000 Monthly Redemption Advance Shares on the Monthly Redemption Advance Date, the Holder submits a Holder Redemption Notice which would result in the issuance of 5,000 Stock Payment Shares, then the Monthly Redemption Advance Shares shall be deemed reduced by 5,000 shares, and the Available Advance Shares shall be 25,000 shares, and if subsequently during such calendar month, the Holder submits a Holder Redemption Notice that would require the issuance of 28,000 Stock Payment Shares, then the Monthly Redemption Advance Shares and the Available Advance Shares shall be deemed reduced to 0 and the Company shall be required to deliver 3,000 shares to the Holder. The Holder’s calculation of the Available Advance Shares set forth on the Holder Redemption Notice shall be binding on the Company absent manifest error.

 

v. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Holder Redemption Amount in respect of any Holder Redemption Notice, when aggregated with the Holder Redemption Amounts in respect of each other Holder Redemption Notice delivered to the Company during the same calendar month, would exceed the Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Volume Limitation, then the Company shall pay the portion of the Holder Redemption Amount that would be in excess of the Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Volume Limitation in cash. In addition, in the event that the aggregate number of Monthly Redemption Advance Shares or Stock Payment Shares to be delivered to the Holder pursuant to this Section 4(a) in would cause the Holder to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then, (I) the Holder shall provide written notice to the Company that such delivery of all or a portion of such Monthly Redemption Advance Shares or Stock Payment Shares would cause the Holder to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and (II) in addition to delivery of the number of Monthly Redemption Advance Shares or Stock Payment Shares that would not cause the Holder to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation the Company shall issue to the Holder only such number of Monthly Redemption Advance Shares or Stock Payment Shares that would not cause the Holder to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and with respect to Stock Payment Shares, pay to the Holder, in lieu of such number of Stock Payment Shares that would cause the Holder to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation an amount in cash equal to the portion of the Holder Redemption Amount that would otherwise be payable in respect of such excess number of Stock Payment Shares.

 

  22  

 

 

vi. If there are any Available Advance Shares remaining after all Holder Redemption Notices delivered during a particular calendar month have been satisfied in full, the Holder will, at its option, retain such Available Advance Shares in partial satisfaction of the obligation of the Company to deliver Advance Shares in respect of the next month on which the Company elects for this Debenture to be Stock On or return such remaining number of Available Advance Shares to the Company.

 

b) Voluntary Conversion .

 

i. Voluntary Conversion . Commencing on the Original Issue Date, and thereafter from time to time until this Debenture is no longer outstanding, this Debenture shall be convertible, in whole or in part having a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000 (or such lesser principal amount of this Debenture as may then be outstanding), into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(i) . The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex B (each, a “ Notice of Conversion ”), specifying therein the principal amount of this Debenture to be converted. The date such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder will be deemed to be the “ Conversion Date .” No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Debenture, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

ii. Conversion Price . The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $10.00,subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “ Conversion Price ”).

 

iii. Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount; Delivery Date . The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be converted (plus, to extent the Company so elects pursuant to the immediately following sentence, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the applicable Conversion Date) by (y) the Conversion Price in effect on the applicable Conversion Date. Upon conversion of any portion of this Debenture, accrued and unpaid interest on such converted portion to, but excluding, the applicable Conversion Date will be paid, at the Company’s election, either (A) in cash to be delivered on or before the related Conversion Share Delivery Date or (B) by adding such accrued and unpaid interest to the amount referred to in clause (x) above; provided, however, that the Company will not have the right to, and will not, elect to pay such accrued and unpaid interest in the manner provided in clause (B) above if such election is not then permitted by the listing standards of the Principal Market. The Company shall deliver all Conversion Shares to the Holder within two Trading Days after the date of the applicable Notice of Conversion (the date by which such delivery must be made, subject to Sections 5(c)(ii), 5(e) and 5(f)(ii), the “ Conversion Share Delivery Date ”).

 

  23  

 

 

c) Intentionally Omitted .

 

d) Delivery of Certificate for Stock Payment Shares and Conversion Shares . The Company shall deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the full number of Debenture Shares required to be delivered by the applicable Delivery Date; provided, however, that following the 6 month anniversary of the Original Issue Date (and provided, without limiting any rights of the Holder under this Debenture or the other Transaction Documents, that the Company is compliance with the public information requirements of Rule 144(c), if applicable, and all information requirements of Rule 144(i)), the Company shall deliver any Debenture Shares required to be issued by the Company electronically through DTC without restrictive legends or trading restrictions of any kind not later than the applicable Delivery Date. The Company shall, at its own expense, cause there to be issue done or more legal opinions, if any, required to issue Debenture Shares without any restrictive legends or trading restrictions of any kind. If Conversion Shares or Stock Payment Shares, as the case may be, are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Delivery Date, the Holder shall, in addition to, and not in limitation of, its other rights and remedies under this Debenture and the other Transaction Documents, be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares or Stock Payment Shares, to rescind the applicable Notice of Conversion or Holder Redemption Notice, as the case may be. In addition to any other remedies of the Holder hereunder, in connection with any Notice of Conversion, if the Company does not deliver the applicable Conversion Shares by the applicable Conversion Share Delivery Date, the Holder may, at its option, in connection with any conversion of this Debenture pursuant to Section 4(b) , apply any Available Advance Shares to the satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to deliver the applicable Conversion Shares on the applicable Conversion Share Delivery Date.

 

  24  

 

 

e) Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages . The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Debenture Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the 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 the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Debenture Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. The Company may not refuse to issue any Debenture Shares required to be issued hereunder based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or Affiliated with the 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, shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Debenture Shares required to be issued hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder Debenture Shares required to be issued pursuant to any provision of this Debenture by the second Trading Day following the applicable Delivery Date (a “ Delivery Failure ”), the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being redeemed or converted, as applicable, $2.50 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after the second Trading Day following such Delivery Date until such Debenture Shares are delivered or the Holder rescinds such redemption or conversion, as applicable; provided, however, that (i) no liquidated damages shall accrue with respect to the first two Delivery Failures in any 12-month period and if a Delivery Failure occurs more than twice in any 12-month period, then such partial liquidated damages shall begin to accrue with respect to the third Delivery Failure in such 12-month period, (ii) if, at the time of a Delivery Failure, a Public Information Failure has occurred (and the Company is required to pay liquidated damages for such Public Information Failure under Section 4.1(b) of the Purchase Agreement), then no liquidated damages will be required to be paid under this Debenture as a result of such Delivery Failure until the date the Company is no longer required to pay liquidated damages for such Public Information Failure in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement and (iii) the Company shall, in no event, be required to pay an aggregate amount of liquidated damages under this Debenture and the Securities Purchase Agreement for each $1,000 of principal amount of Debentures (and any Debenture Shares issued in respect thereof) greater than $100.00. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7 hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Debenture Shares within the applicable period specified in this Debenture and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company acknowledges that to the extent that the Company does not honor, or indicates to the Holder that it will not honor, Holder Redemption Notices and/or Conversion Notices (a “ Repudiation ”) the Holder’s damages, in addition to out-of-pocket expenses and other damages, shall include Holder’s entire lost profit resulting from its inability to receive Debenture Shares, which lost profit shall be calculated as the maximum number of Debenture Shares that the Holder would have been able to receive pursuant to any provision of this Debenture at or following the time of such Repudiation multiplied by any reported trading price of the Common Stock from and after the time of the Repudiation selected by the Holder (whether or not the Holder has actually tendered Holder Redemption Notices and/or Conversion Notices for such maximum number of Debenture Shares).

 

  25  

 

 

f) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates . If the Company shall fail for any reason, or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable Delivery Date to deliver share certificates or credit the Holder's or its broker’s DTC account (whichever is required pursuant to Section 4(d) ), for such number of Debenture Shares to which the Holder is entitled under this Debenture (a “ Delivery Failure ”) and if on or after such Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Debenture that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “ Buy-In ”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within 3 Trading Days after the Holder's request and in the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company's obligation to credit such Holder's or its broker’s DTC account for such Debenture Shares shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver such share certificates or credit such Holder's or its broker’s DTC account, as applicable, and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Debenture Shares, times (B) any trading price of the shares of Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the Monthly Redemption Advance Date, the date of the Holder Redemption Notice, Interest Shares Advance Date, Interest Payment Date or Conversion Share Delivery, as applicable, and ending on the applicable Delivery Date. Nothing shall limit the Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver Debenture Shares pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any cash payment paid pursuant to this Section 4(f) will reduce any amounts that may be due to the Holder on account of the Delivery Failure pursuant to Section 4(e).

 

g) Fractional Shares . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued under this Debenture. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay a cash amount equal to the product of the VWAP on the applicable Conversion Date and such fraction.

 

h) Transfer Taxes and Expenses . The issuance of Debenture Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Debenture Shares, other than any tax that may be payable as a result of any Holder requesting any Debenture Share to be issued to or registered in the name of a person other than such Holder. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for processing of any issuance of Debenture Shares and all fees to DTC (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of Debenture Shares.

 

  26  

 

 

i) Beneficial Ownership Limitation . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Debenture, at no time may the Company issue to the Holder Debenture Shares to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of this Section 4(i) , beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(i) applies, the determination of whether shares of Common Stock may be issued pursuant to this Debenture (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion or Holder Redemption Notice (at a time when this Debenture is Stock On) shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether shares of Common Stock may be issued pursuant to this Debenture (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In addition, the Holder may notify the Company that the issuance of any Debenture Shares would cause the Holder to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, in which case, the Company shall only issue to the Holder such number of shares of Common Stock that would not cause the Holder to exceed the Beneficial Ownership (as determined by the Holder in accordance with this Section 4(i) ). To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Holder Redemption Notice (at a time that this Debenture is Stock On) that such Holder Redemption Notice has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(i) , in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within 2 Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then actually outstanding. For purposes of determining beneficial ownership pursuant to this Section 4(i) , the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.9% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the applicable issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Debenture held by the Holder. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrowers, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(i) , provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.9% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Debenture and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(i) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the sixty first day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(i) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Debenture.

 

  27  

 

 

j) If, after this Debenture ceases to be outstanding, there remains any unapplied Available Advance Shares or Interest Advance Shares, then the Holder will promptly cause the same to be returned to the Company.

 

Section 5 . Certain Adjustments .

 

a) Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations . If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Stock (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 5(g) will apply), then the Conversion Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

CP 1  = CP 0  ×  OS 0
OS 1

 

where:

 

CP 0 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately before the Open of Business on the effective date of such stock split or stock combination, as applicable;

 

CP 1 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or the Open of Business on such effective date, as applicable;

 

OS 0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, without giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination; and

 

OS 1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination.

 

  28  

 

 

If any dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination of the type described in this Section 5(a) is declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Price will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Company determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such stock split or stock combination, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination not been declared or announced.

 

b) Rights, Options and Warrants . If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which the provisions set forth in Sections 5(c)(i) and 5(f)(iii) will apply) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the record date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then the Conversion Price will be based on the following formula:

 

CP 1  = CP 0  ×  OS + Y
OS + X

 

where:

 

CP 0 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

 

CP 1 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

 

OS = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

 

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

 

Y = a number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants by (y) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced.

 

  29  

 

 

To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the decrease to the Conversion Price for such distribution been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, option or warrants. To the extent such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution of such rights, options or warrants not occurred.

 

For purposes of this Section 5(b) , in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date of the distribution of such rights, options or warrants is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Company in good faith.

 

c) Spin-Offs and Other Distributed Property .

 

i. Distributions Other than Spin-Offs . If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock of the Company or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:

 

(1) dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required (or would be required without regard to Section 5(f)(iv) ) pursuant to Section 5(a) or 5(b) ;

 

(2) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required (or would be required without regard to Section 5(f)(iv) ) pursuant to Section 5(d) ;

 

(3) rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, except to the extent provided in Section 5(f)(iii) ; or

 

(4) Spin-Offs for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required (or would be required without regard to Section 5(f)(iv) ) pursuant to Section 5(c)(ii); and

 

(5) a distribution solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 5(g) will apply,

 

  30  

 

 

then the Conversion Price will be decreased based on the following formula:

 

CP 1  = CP 0  ×  SP – FMV
SP

 

where:

 

CP 0 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

 

CP 1 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

 

SP = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and

 

FMV = the fair market value (as determined by the Company in good faith), as of such Ex-Dividend Date, of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants distributed per share of Common Stock pursuant to such distribution;

 

provided , however , that if FMV is equal to or greater than SP , then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Price, the Holder will participate in such distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock and without converting any Debentures, as if the Holder held, on the record date for such distribution, a number of Conversion Shares that would have been issuable upon conversion of the total outstanding principal amount of Debentures held by such Holder as of such record date assuming such outstanding principal amount were converted with a Conversion Date occurring on such record date.

 

To the extent such distribution is not so paid or made, or such rights, options or warrants are not exercised before their expiration (including as a result of being redeemed or terminated), the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid or on the basis of the distribution of only such rights, options or warrants, if any, that were actually exercised, if at all.

 

  31  

 

 

ii. Spin-Offs . If the Company distributes or dividends shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to an Affiliate, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 5(g) will apply), and such Capital Stock or equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “ Spin-Off ”), then the Conversion Price will be decreased based on the following formula:

 

EP 1  = EP 0  ×  SP
FMV + SP

 

where:

 

CP 0 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off;

 

CP 1 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

 

FMV = the product of (x) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share or unit of the Capital Stock or equity interests distributed in such Spin-Off over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “ Spin-Off Valuation Period ”) beginning on, and including, such Ex-Dividend Date (such average to be determined as if references to Common Stock in the definitions of Last Reported Sale Price and Trading Day were instead references to such Capital Stock or equity interests); and (y) the number of shares or units of such Capital Stock or equity interests distributed per share of Common Stock in such Spin-Off; and

 

SP = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for each Trading Day in the Spin-Off Valuation Period.

 

The adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 5(c)(ii) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off, with retroactive effect. If this Debenture is exercised and the Conversion Date occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Debenture, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such exercise until the third Trading Day after the last day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period.

 

To the extent any dividend or distribution of the type set forth in this Section 5(c)(ii) is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

 

  32  

 

 

d) Cash Dividends or Distributions . If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price will be decreased based on the following formula:

 

EP 1  = EP 0  ×  SP – D
SP

 

where:

 

CP 0 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

 

CP 1 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

 

SP = the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and

 

D = the cash amount distributed per share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution;

 

provided , however , that if D is equal to or greater than SP , then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Price, the Holder will participate in such dividend or distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock and without converting any Debentures, as if the Holder held, on the record date for such dividend or distribution, a number of Conversion Shares that would have been issuable upon conversion of the total outstanding principal amount of Debentures held by such Holder as of such record date assuming such outstanding principal amount were converted with a Conversion Date occurring on such record date.

 

To the extent such dividend or distribution is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

 

  33  

 

 

e) Tender Offers or Exchange Offers . If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, and the value (determined as of the Tender/Exchange Offer Expiration Time by the Company in good faith) of the cash and other consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the “ Tender/Exchange Offer Expiration Date ”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Price will be decreased based on the following formula:

 

EP 1  = EP 0  ×  OS 0  × SP
AC + (SP × OS 1 )

 

where:

 

CP 0 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the time (the “ Tender/Exchange Offer Expiration Time ”) such tender or exchange offer expires;

 

CP 1 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the Tender/Exchange Offer Expiration Time;

 

AC = the aggregate value (determined as of the Tender/Exchange Offer Expiration Time by the Company in good faith) of all cash and other consideration paid for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

 

OS 0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Tender/Exchange Offer Expiration Time (before giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

 

OS 1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Tender/Exchange Offer Expiration Time (excluding all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

 

SP = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “ Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period ”) beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Tender/Exchange Offer Expiration Date;

 

provided , however , that the Conversion Price will in no event be adjusted upwards pursuant to this Section 5(e) , except to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph. The adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 5(e) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Tender/Exchange Offer Expiration Time, with retroactive effect. If this Debenture is converted and the Conversion Date occurs during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Debenture, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such exercise until the third Trading Day after the last day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period.

 

To the extent such tender or exchange offer is announced but not consummated (including as a result of the Company being precluded from consummating such tender or exchange offer under applicable law), or any purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer are rescinded, the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock, if any, actually made, and not rescinded, in such tender or exchange offer.

 

  34  

 

 

f) No Adjustment in Certain Cases .

 

i. Where Holders Participate in the Transaction or Event Without Conversion . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5 , the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Price on account of a transaction or other event otherwise requiring an adjustment pursuant to clauses (b) through (d) of this Section 5 if the Holder participates, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, in such transaction or event without having to convert such Holder’s Debentures, as if the Holder held, on the record date for such transaction or event, a number of Conversion Shares that would have been issuable upon conversion of the total outstanding principal amount of Debentures held by such Holder as of such record date assuming such outstanding principal amount were converted with a Conversion Date occurring on such record date.

 

ii. Conversion Rate Adjustments where Converting Holders Participate in the Relevant Transaction or Event . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if (1) a Conversion Price adjustment for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date pursuant to clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 5 ; (2) any portion of this Debenture is to be converted; (3) the Conversion Date for such conversion occurs on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or before the related record date; (4) the Conversion Shares due upon such conversion are calculated based on a Conversion Price that is adjusted for such dividend or distribution; and (5) such shares would be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution (including pursuant to Section 5(h) ), then (x) such Conversion Price adjustment will not be given effect for such conversion; and (y) the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion based on such unadjusted Conversion Price will be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.

 

iii. Stockholder Rights Plans . If any Conversion Shares are to be issued upon conversion of this Debenture and, at the time of such conversion, the Company has in effect any stockholder rights plan, then the Holder will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the Conversion Shares otherwise payable hereunder upon such conversion, the rights set forth in such stockholder rights plan, unless such rights have separated from the Common Stock at such time, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Price will be adjusted pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) on account of such separation as if, at the time of such separation, the Company had made a distribution of the type referred to in such Section to all holders of the Common Stock, subject to readjustment in accordance with such Section if such rights expire, terminate or are redeemed.

 

  35  

 

 

iv. Adjustment Deferral . If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate otherwise required by clauses (b) through (d) of this Section 5 would result in a change of less than one percent (1%) to the Conversion Price, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company may, at its election, defer such adjustment, except that all such deferred adjustments must be given effect immediately upon the earliest of the following: (i) when all such deferred adjustments would result in a change of at least one percent (1%) to the Conversion Price; and (ii) the Conversion Date of any portion of this Debenture.

 

g) Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, the Company effects a Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which the Common Stock is exchanged for, converted into, or represents solely the right to receive any other securities, cash or other property (such transaction, a “ Common Stock Change Event ,” and such other securities, cash or property, the “ Reference Property ,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Fundamental Transaction (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or other property), a “ Reference Property Unit ”), then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon any conversion of this Debenture on or after the effective date of such Fundamental Transaction, each Debenture Share issuable hereunder will be payable hereunder in Reference Property determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock herein (including in any definitions) were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the types and amounts of consideration actually received, per share of Common Stock, by the holders of Common Stock. The Company shall, if applicable, cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “ Successor Entity ”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Debenture in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Debenture, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Debenture a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Debenture which is convertible for a corresponding number of Reference Property Units within five Business Days of such Fundamental Transaction. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall, if applicable, succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Debenture and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Debenture and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5(g) shall be deemed implied consent to any Fundamental Transaction otherwise prohibited by the Transaction Documents.

 

h) Holder of Record of Conversion Shares . The Person in whose name any Conversion Share is issuable upon conversion of this Debenture will be deemed to become the holder of record of such share as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion.

 

  36  

 

 

i) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 5 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 5 , 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 Company) issued and outstanding.

 

j) Notice to the Holder .

 

i. Adjustment to Conversion Price . Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5 , the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price 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 Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company 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 Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any Fundamental Transaction, Change of Control, consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Debenture, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Debenture Register, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, 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 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 or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange 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 reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, 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. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert this Debenture during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

  37

Section 6 . Covenants .

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a calendar quarter, to the extent that the Company has Free Cash in excess of the Cash Minimum as of the last day of such calendar quarter, then, solely for purposes of determining the Company’s compliance with this Section 6(e) for such calendar quarter, the AR Target Amount for such calendar quarter shall be deemed reduced (but not below zero) on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the excess of Free Cash over the Cash Minimum. Furthermore, to the extent that, with respect to a calendar quarter, Free Cash exceeds $12,500,000 as of the last day of such calendar quarter, then this Section 6(e) shall be deemed satisfied for such calendar quarter regardless of the amount of the accounts receivables reflected on the Company’s balance sheet for such calendar quarter.

  40  

 

 

g) Holder Cooperation Related to Debenture Shares and Informational Requirements. The Holder will reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with the issuance of Debenture Shares through the book-entry facilities of The Depository Trust Company. The Holder shall provide a customary seller representation letter and cause its broker to provide a customary broker representation letter, and the Company shall provide a customary issuer representation letter, in connection therewith. Holder agrees that it will not effect any resale of Debenture Shares unless (i) such resale is pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) the Company is then in compliance with the informational requirements of Rule 144(c), if applicable, and the requirements of Rule 144(i)(2) or (iii) such Purchaser provides to the Company an opinion of its counsel, which opinion is reasonably acceptable to the Company, that such sale is otherwise permissible in accordance with Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act. Upon request by any Holder, the Company will promptly confirm (as promptly as practicable after the Holder’s request if such request is made between the Open of Business and the Close of Business on a Business Day) whether or not such informational and other requirements are satisfied, and the Holder will be entitled to rely on such confirmation. In addition, the Holder shall cause its broker to provide an undertaking from such broker that prior to executing any sale of Debenture Shares on behalf of Holder, such broker will confirm the Company has filed with the Commission the Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q required to be filed under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act within the preceding 12 months (a “ Broker Undertaking ”). The Broker Undertaking shall further provide that no sales of any Debenture Shares shall be made by such broker if the Holder has received a Company Non-Compliance Notice (as defined below). To the extent that the Holder is unable to obtain, after using commercially reasonable efforts, a Broker Undertaking or any broker withdraws its Broker Undertaking and, as a result the Company is unable to or will not provide unlegended Debenture Shares, then, at the option of the Holder, for so long as Holder is unable to obtain a Broker Undertaking (that has not been withdrawn), (A) the Debenture shall be Stock Off and/or the Company shall not be permitted to pay interest in shares of Common Stock or (B) the Holder shall waive the requirement that the Company deliver Interest Advance Shares and/or Monthly Redemption Advance Shares in connection with, respectively, an election by the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of this Debenture, to pay interest in shares of Common Stock or for the Debenture to be Stock On. Furthermore, in the event that the Holder waives the requirement to deliver Monthly Redemption Advance Shares, then, subject to the Monthly Allowance, there shall be no limit on the number Holder Redemption Notices that the Holder may deliver in any calendar month, provided that each Holder Redemption Notice shall be for at least $10,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder in the event the Company is not in compliance with the informational requirements of Rule 144(c) (until such time as those requirements cease to apply under Rule 144(b)(1)) or the requirements of Rule 144(i)(2) (a “ Company Non-Compliance Notice ”).

This Debenture is a direct debt obligation of the Company.

d) Governing Law . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Debenture shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the “ New York Courts ”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), 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 such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. 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 Debenture and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

  45  

 

 

e) Amendments; Waivers . Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Debenture 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 Debenture. The failure of the Company or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Debenture on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Debenture on any other occasion. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder must be in writing. Any provision of this Debenture may be waived by the Holders of at least 50.1% of the outstanding principal amount of Debentures, which waiver shall be binding on all of the Holders of the Debentures and their successors and assigns. Any provision of this Debenture may be amended by a written instrument executed by the Company and the Holders of at least 50.1% of the outstanding principal amount of Debentures, which amendment shall be binding on all of the Holders of the Debentures and their successors and assigns.

 

f) Severability . If any provision of this Debenture is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Debenture 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 interest or other 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. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Debenture as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Debenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.

 

g) Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief .  The remedies provided in this Debenture shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Debenture and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Debenture.  The Company covenants to the Holder that 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 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 such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is reasonably requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Debenture.

 

  46  

 

 

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

 

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

 

j) Secured Obligation . The obligations of the Company under this Debenture are secured by the Collateral pledged by the Company pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between the Debtors and the Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, subject to Permitted Liens, the Holder shall have the first lien over all Collateral, which will rank higher than any other creditor of the Company or its Subsidiaries, to the extent permitted by law.

 

k) Limitation of Liability . Neither Holder, Agent nor any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of Holder or Agent shall have any liability with respect to, and the Company hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by the Company in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Debenture or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Debenture or any of the other Transaction Documents. The Company hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue Holder, Agent or any of Holder’s or Agent’s Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Debenture or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Debenture or any of the other Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Agent or Holder is found by a court of competent jurisdiction, pursuant to a final judgment not subject to further appeal, to have engaged in any material violation of the Transaction Documents, any material violation of state or federal securities laws or any other conduct which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance (“ Bad Boy Conduct ”), then nothing in this provision shall be interpreted as waiving any right of the Company to any action based upon any such Bad Boy Conduct.

 

  47  

 

 

l) Withholding Taxes . Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company under this Debenture and any other Transaction Documents shall be made without deduction or withholding for any taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Company) requires the deduction or withholding of any tax from any such payment by the Company, then the Company shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and the sum payable by the Company to the Holder shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8(l)) the Holder receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made; provided, however, that no increased or additional payment shall be required or made under this section (i) with respect to U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of the Holder pursuant to a law in effect on the date that the Holder acquired an interest in this Debenture (withholding tax imposed as a result of future administrative or judicial interpretation of current law), or (ii) with respect to taxes imposed on or measured by net income (including branch profits taxes or franchise taxes) of the Holder. With respect to a Holder as of the date hereof, the Company does not intend to deduct U.S. federal withholding taxes from any payments under this Debenture and any other Transaction Document under current law. Prior to deducting any withholding tax, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a written notice of its intention to make deduction or withholding for any taxes. In the event that the Company provides such notice, the Holder may elect to receive interest in cash in order to avoid such withholding tax; provided, however, that such an election shall not be available to any transferee or assignee of a Holder (that was a Holder as of the date hereof) and no Holder may transfer or assign an interest in the Debenture to any other person if any payments made to the transferee or assignee by the Company with respect to the Debenture or any other Transaction Document would be subject to withholding taxes.

If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and receipt of a customary lost Security affidavit and indemnity.

 

5.14 Remedies . In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to seek specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents.

 

5.15 Payment Set Aside . To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

5.16 Usury . To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “ Maximum Rate ”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.

 

  26  

 

 

5.17 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights . The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers.

 

5.18 Liquidated Damages . The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

 

5.19 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc . If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

5.20 Construction . The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.

 

5.21 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL . IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

 

5.22 Termination .  This Agreement may be terminated by (a) any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before June 29, 2018, or (b) the Company, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before June 29, 2018; provided , however , that in either case such termination will not affect the right of any party to sue for any breach of this Agreement by any other party (or parties).

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE

 

This SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE, dated as of June 29, 2018 (this “ Guarantee ”), is made by each of the signatories hereto (together with any other entity that may become a party hereto as provided herein, the “ Guarantors ”), in favor of the Secured Parties defined below.

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between LiveXLive Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”) and the Purchasers (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Purchase Agreement ”), the Company has agreed to sell and issue to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers have agreed to purchase from the Company, the Debentures, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein; and

 

WHEREAS, each Guarantor is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company and will directly benefit from the extension of credit to the Company represented by the issuance of the Debentures; and

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises contained therein and to induce the Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Purchasers as follows:

 

1.  Definitions . Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Purchase Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement. The words “hereof”, “herein”, “hereto” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Guarantee shall refer to this Guarantee as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Guarantee, and Section and Schedule references are to this Guarantee unless otherwise specified. The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms. The following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

Agent ” means JGB Collateral, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

 

Guarantee ” means this Subsidiary Guarantee, as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

 

 

 

 

Obligations ” means, in addition to all other costs and expenses of collection incurred by Purchasers or Agent in enforcing any of such Obligations and/or this Guarantee, all of the liabilities and obligations (primary, secondary, direct, contingent, sole, joint or several) due or to become due, or that are now or may be hereafter contracted or acquired, or owing to, of the Company or any Guarantor to any Secured Party under this Guarantee, the Debentures and the other Transaction Documents, in each case, whether now or hereafter existing, voluntary or involuntary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether or not jointly owed with others, and whether or not from time to time decreased or extinguished and later increased, created or incurred, and all or any portion of such obligations or liabilities that are paid, to the extent all or any part of such payment is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from any of the Secured Parties as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise as such obligations may be amended, supplemented, converted, extended or modified from time to time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term “Obligations” shall include, without limitation: (i) principal of, and interest on the Debentures and the loans extended pursuant thereto; (ii) any and all other fees, prepayment charges, indemnities, costs, obligations and liabilities of the Company or any Guarantor from time to time under or in connection with this Guarantee, the Debentures, and the other Transaction Documents; and (iii) all amounts (including but not limited to post-petition interest) in respect of the foregoing that would be payable but for the fact that the obligations to pay such amounts are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Company or any Guarantor.

 

Secured Parties ” means the Agent, the Purchasers, each Purchaser Party, and each of their respective successors or assigns.

 

2.  Guarantee .

 

(a)  Guarantee .

 

(i)  The Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantee to the Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.

 

(ii)  Anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws, including laws relating to the insolvency of debtors, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or laws affecting the rights of creditors generally (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2(b)).

 

(iii)  Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder.

 

  2  

 

 

(iv)  The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by indefeasible payment in full.

 

(v)  No payment made by the Company, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Secured Party from the Company, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce (other than a reduction of the amount owed hereunder, if applicable), release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full.

 

(vi)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guarantee, with respect to any defaulted non-monetary Obligations the specific performance of which by the Guarantors is not reasonably possible (e.g. the issuance of the Company’s Common Stock), the Guarantors shall only be liable for making the Secured Parties whole on a monetary basis for the Company’s failure to perform such Obligations in accordance with the Transaction Documents.

 

(b)  Right of Contribution . Subject to Section 2(c), each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2(c). The provisions of this Section 2(b) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Secured Parties and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

 

(c)  No Subrogation . Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by any Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any Secured Party against the Company or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Secured Parties by the Company on account of the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Secured Parties in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Secured Parties, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Secured Parties may determine.

 

  3  

 

 

(d)  Amendments, Etc. With Respect to the Obligations . Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by any Secured Party may be rescinded by any Secured Party and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Secured Parties, and the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as any Purchaser and/or Agent, as applicable, may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Secured Parties for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. The Secured Parties shall have no obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as security for the Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

 

(e)  Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional . Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Secured Parties upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Company and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and any Secured Party, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives, to the extent permitted by law, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Company or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Secured Parties, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance or of fraud by Secured Parties) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Company or any other Person against the Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Company or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Company for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Secured Parties may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as they may have against the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Secured Parties to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Secured Parties against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings. For the avoidance of doubt, no Secured Party shall be obligated to file any claim relating to the Obligations in the event that the Company becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of Secured Parties so to file shall not affect the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder.

 

(f)  Reinstatement . The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Company or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or for any other reason otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

 

  4  

 

 

(g)  Payments . Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Purchasers or Agent, as applicable, without set-off or counterclaim in U.S. dollars at the address set forth or referred to in the Signature Pages to the Purchase Agreement.

 

3.  Representations and Warranties . Each Guarantor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Secured Parties as of the date hereof:

 

(a)  Organization and Qualification . Such Guarantor is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction set forth on Schedule 1 , with the requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Such Guarantor has no subsidiaries other than those identified as such on the Disclosure Schedules to the Purchase Agreement. Such Guarantor is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, partnership or limited liability company in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not, individually or in the aggregate, (x) adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of this Guarantee in any material respect, (y) have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, prospects, assets or financial condition of such Guarantor or the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or (z) adversely impair in any material respect such Guarantor’s ability to perform fully on a timely basis its obligations under this Guarantee (a “ Material Adverse Effect ”).

 

(b)  Authorization; Enforcement . Such Guarantor has the requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Guarantee, and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Guarantee by such Guarantor and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other action on the part of such Guarantor. This Guarantee has been duly executed and delivered by such Guarantor and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

 

(c)  No Conflicts . The execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee by such Guarantor and the consummation by such Guarantor of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of its organizational documents or (ii) conflict with, constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument (evidencing debt or otherwise) to which such Guarantor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which such Guarantor is subject (including Federal and State securities laws and regulations), or by which any material property or asset of such Guarantor is bound or affected, except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect. The business of such Guarantor is not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental authority, except for violations which, individually or in the aggregate, do not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

  5  

 

 

(d)  Consents and Approvals . Such Guarantor is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local, foreign or other governmental authority or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guarantee, except where such failure could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(e)  Purchase Agreement . The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in the Purchase Agreement as they relate to such Guarantor, each of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct in all material respects as of each time such representations are deemed to be made pursuant to such Purchase Agreement, and the Secured Parties shall be entitled to rely on each of them as if they were fully set forth herein, provided that each reference in each such representation and warranty to the Company’s knowledge shall, for the purposes of this Section 3, be deemed to be a reference to such Guarantor’s knowledge.

 

(f)  Foreign Law . Each Guarantor has consulted with appropriate foreign legal counsel with respect to any of the above representations for which non-U.S. law is applicable. Such foreign counsel have advised each applicable Guarantor that such counsel knows of no reason why any of the above representations would not be true and accurate. Such foreign counsel were provided with copies of this Guarantee and the other Transaction Documents prior to rendering their advice.

 

4.  Covenants . Each Guarantor covenants and agrees with the Purchasers that, from and after the date of this Guarantee until the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, such Guarantor shall take, and/or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each commercially reasonable action that is necessary to be taken or not taken, as the case may be, in order to prevent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Debentures).

 

  6  

 

 

5.  Miscellaneous .

 

(a)  Amendments in Writing . None of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in writing by the Agent (or, in the event that the Agent no longer holds any Debentures, in a writing by the Purchasers holding at least 50.1% of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures shall have otherwise given prior written consent).

 

(b)  Notices . All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Purchasers, Agent or any Guarantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in the Purchase Agreement, provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1 .

 

(c)  No Waiver By Course Of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies . The Secured Parties shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 5(a)), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default under the Transaction Documents or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Parties, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Secured Parties of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which any Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

 

(d)  Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification .

 

(i)  Each Guarantor agrees to pay, or reimburse the Secured Parties for, all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Guarantee and the other Transaction Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Secured Parties.

 

(ii)  Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Guarantee.

 

  7  

 

 

(iii)  Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Guarantee to the extent the Company would be required to do so pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

 

(iv)  The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

 

(e)  Successor and Assigns .

The execution, delivery and performance by each Debtor of this Agreement and the filings contemplated therein have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such Debtor and no further action is required by such Debtor. This Agreement has been duly executed by each Debtor. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Debtor, enforceable against each Debtor in accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and by general principles of equity.

Except as specifically set forth on Schedule A , each Debtor is the record owner of the real property where such Collateral is located, and there exist no mortgages or other liens on any such real property except for Permitted Liens. Except as disclosed on Schedule A, none of such Collateral (other than Collateral with a value not exceeding $100,000 in the aggregate, Collateral in transit between locations, out for repair or refurbishment) is in the possession of any consignee, bailee, warehouseman, agent or processor.

 

  6  

 

 

(c)  Except for Permitted Liens and except as set forth on Schedule B attached hereto, the Debtors are the sole owner of the Collateral (except for non-exclusive licenses granted by any Debtor in the ordinary course of business), free and clear of any liens, security interests, encumbrances, rights or claims, and are fully authorized to grant the Security Interests. Except as set forth on Schedule C attached hereto, there is not on file in any governmental or regulatory authority, agency or recording office an effective financing statement, security agreement or transfer or any notice of any of the foregoing (other than those that will be filed in favor of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement) covering or affecting any of the Collateral. Except as set forth on Schedule C attached hereto and except pursuant to this Agreement, as long as this Agreement shall be in effect, the Debtors shall not knowingly permit to be on file in any such office or agency any other financing statement or other document or instrument (except (i) in connection with Permitted Liens or (ii) to the extent filed or recorded in favor of the Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement).

 

(d)  No written claim has been received that any Collateral or any Debtor’s use of any Collateral violates the rights of any third party. To the knowledge of the Debtors, there has been no adverse decision to any Debtor’s claim of ownership rights in or exclusive rights to use the Collateral in any jurisdiction or to any Debtor’s right to keep and maintain such Collateral in full force and effect, and to the knowledge of the Debtors, there is no proceeding involving said rights pending or, to the knowledge of any Debtor, threatened before any court, judicial body, administrative or regulatory agency, arbitrator or other governmental authority.

 

(e)  Each Debtor shall at all times maintain its books of account and records relating to the Collateral at its principal place of business and its Collateral at the locations set forth on Schedule A attached hereto , except for Collateral with a value not exceeding $100,000 in the aggregate, Collateral in transit, in temporary possession of an employee, or absent for repair, refurbishment or other bona fide business reason, and may not relocate such books of account and records or tangible Collateral unless it delivers to the Secured Parties at least 7 days prior to such relocation(i) written notice of such relocation and the new location thereof (which must be within the United States) and (ii) prior to or contemporaneously therewith takes all actions reasonably requested by the Agent to maintain a valid and continuing perfected first priority lien in the Collateral, subject to Permitted Liens.

 

  7  

 

 

(f)  This Agreement creates in favor of the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, a valid security interest in the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens, securing the payment and performance of the Obligations. Upon making the filings described in the immediately following paragraph, all security interests created hereunder in any Collateral which may be perfected by filing Uniform Commercial Code financing statements shall have been duly perfected. Except for the filing of the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements referred to in the immediately following paragraph, the recordation of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement (as defined in Section 4(p) hereof) with respect to copyrights and copyright applications in the United States Copyright Office referred to in paragraph (hh), the execution by all applicable parties and delivery of deposit account control agreements satisfying the requirements of Section 9-104(a)(2) of the UCC with respect to each deposit account of the Debtors, and the delivery of the certificates and other instruments provided in Section 3, no action is necessary on the date hereof to create, perfect or protect the security interests in the Collateral created hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for the filing of said financing statements, the recordation of said Intellectual Property Security Agreement, and the execution and delivery of said deposit account control agreements, no consent of any third parties and no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, (ii) the creation or perfection of the Security Interests created hereunder in the Collateral or (iii) the enforcement of the rights of the Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, except for those consents and approvals which have already been obtained. The Secured Parties acknowledge that additional steps may be required to perfect their security interest in assets or other property or Foreign Subsidiaries located outside of the United States, Canada or the European Union.

 

(g)  Each Debtor hereby authorizes the Agent to file one or more financing statements (at the expense of the Debtor)under the UCC necessary or reasonably desirable to perfect the Security Interests granted herein, in each case with the proper filing and recording agencies in any jurisdiction deemed proper by it (and such authorization includes describing the Collateral as “all assets” of such Debtor).

 

(h)  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Debtors does not (i) violate any of the provisions of any Organizational Documents of any Debtor or any judgment, decree, order or award of any court, governmental body or arbitrator or any applicable law, rule or regulation applicable to any Debtor or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any material agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing any Debtor’s debt or otherwise). If any, all required consents (including, without limitation, from stockholders or creditors of any Debtor) necessary for any Debtor to enter into and perform its obligations hereunder have been obtained.

 

(i) The capital stock and other equity interests listed on Schedule H hereto (the “ Pledged Securities ”) represent all of the capital stock and other equity interests of the Guarantors, and represent all capital stock and other equity interests owned, directly or indirectly, by any Debtor, provided that Pledged Securities shall not include (i) any voting stock of any CFC, (ii) any voting stock of any FSHCO, or (iii) any stock of any subsidiary of a CFC or a FSHCO. All of the Pledged Securities are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and the Company is the legal and beneficial owner of the Pledged Securities, free and clear of any lien, security interest or other encumbrance except for the security interests created by this Agreement and other Permitted Liens. Nothing herein shall limit the Agent’s right to a security interest in up to 65% of the voting stock of any CFC or FSHCO pursuant to the terms of the Debenture in connection with a Permitted Acquisition.

 

  8  

 

 

(j)  The ownership and other equity interests in partnerships and limited liability companies (if any) included in the Collateral (the “Pledged Interests”) by their express terms do not provide that they are securities governed by Article 8 of the UCC and are not held in a securities account or by any financial intermediary. No Pledged Interest is evidenced or represented by a certificate or otherwise certificated.

SECURITY

AGREEMENT

 

THE AGENT

 

1. Appointment . The Secured Parties (all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings provided in the Security Agreement to which this Annex B is attached (as may be amended, restated or otherwise modified, the “ Agreement ”)), by their acceptance of the benefits of the Agreement, hereby designate JGB Collateral, LLC (“ Agent ”) as the Agent to act as specified herein and in the Agreement. Each Secured Party shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Agreement and any other Transaction Document (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees.

 

2. Nature of Duties . The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Neither the Agent nor any of its partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it as such under the Agreement or hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, be responsible for the consequence of any oversight or error of judgment or answerable for any loss, unless caused solely by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Agent shall not have by reason of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Debtor or any Secured Party and nothing in the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document except as expressly set forth herein and therein.

 

3. Lack of Reliance on the Agent . Independently and without reliance upon the Agent, each Secured Party, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with such Secured Party’s investment in the Debtors, the creation and continuance of the Obligations, the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and the taking or not taking of any action in connection therewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Company and its subsidiaries, and of the value of the Collateral from time to time, and the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Secured Party with any credit, market or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before any Obligations are incurred or at any time or times thereafter. The Agent shall not be responsible to the Debtors or any Secured Party for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith, or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or for the financial condition of the Debtors or the value of any of the Collateral, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the financial condition of the Debtors, or the value of any of the Collateral, or the existence or possible existence of any default or Event of Default under the Agreement, the Debentures or any of the other Transaction Documents.

 

  B- 1  

 

 

4. Certain Rights of the Agent . The Agent shall have the right to take any action with respect to the Collateral, on behalf of all of the Secured Parties. To the extent practical, the Agent shall request instructions from the Secured Parties with respect to any material act or action (including failure to act) in connection with the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and shall be entitled to act or refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of a Majority in Interest; if such instructions are not provided despite the Agent’s request therefor, the Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action, and if such action is taken, shall be entitled to appropriate indemnification from the Secured Parties in respect of actions to be taken by the Agent and the Agent shall not incur liability to any person or entity by reason of so acting or refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and the Debtors shall have no right to question or challenge the authority of, or the instructions given to, the Agent pursuant to the foregoing and (b) the Agent shall not be required to take any action which the Agent believes (i) could reasonably be expected to expose it to personal liability or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or applicable law.

 

5. Reliance . The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and its duties thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it and upon all other matters pertaining to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and its duties thereunder, upon advice of other experts selected by it. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Secured Party to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Debtors or is cared for, protected or insured or that the liens granted pursuant to the Agreement have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority.

 

  B- 2  

 

 

6. Indemnification . To the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Debtors, the Secured Parties will jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify the Agent, in proportion to their initially purchased respective principal amounts of Debentures, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in performing its duties hereunder or under the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or in any way relating to or arising out of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document except for those determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Prior to taking any action hereunder as Agent, the Agent may require each Secured Party to deposit with it sufficient sums as it determines in good faith is necessary to protect the Agent for costs and expenses associated with taking such action.

 

7. Resignation by the Agent .

 

(a) The Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties under the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice (as provided in the Agreement) to the Debtors and the Secured Parties. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below.

 

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Secured Parties, acting by a Majority in Interest , shall appoint a successor Agent hereunder.

 

(c) If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said 30-day period, the Agent shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as the Secured Parties appoint a successor Agent as provided above. If a successor Agent has not been appointed within such 30-day period, the Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction or may interplead the Debtors and the Secured Parties in a proceeding for the appointment of a successor Agent, and all fees, including, but not limited to, extraordinary fees associated with the filing of interpleader and expenses associated therewith, shall be payable by the Secured Parties on demand.

 

  B- 3  

 

 

8. Rights with respect to Collateral . Each Secured Party agrees with all other Secured Parties and the Agent (i) that it shall not, and shall not attempt to, exercise any rights with respect to its security interest in the Collateral, whether pursuant to any other agreement or otherwise (other than as expressly permitted by the terms of the Transaction Documents), or take or institute any action against the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral or its rights hereunder (other than as expressly permitted by the terms of the Transaction Documents) and (ii) that such Secured Party has no other rights with respect to the Collateral other than as set forth herein and the other Transaction Documents. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of the Agreement including this Annex B shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent.

 

9. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications to the Agent provided for hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission) and mailed, faxed or delivered, to the address, facsimile number or electronic mail address specified for notices below or to such other address as shall be designated by the Agent in a notice to the Debtors and Secured Parties:
