Item 1.01                  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Amendment and Termination of KKR Investment Agreement
On June 8, 2017, Pandora Media, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ” or “ Pandora ”) and KKR Classic Investors L.P. (formerly known as KKR Classic Investors LLC) (“ KKR ”) entered into an amendment (the “ Amendment ”) to the Investment Agreement dated as of May 8, 2017 (the “ KKR Investment Agreement ”) by and between the Company and KKR. Among other things, the Amendment provided the Company with the option to terminate the KKR Investment Agreement in the event the Company determined that it would accept a minority investment from a strategic party. In order to terminate the KKR Investment Agreement thereunder, the Amendment required that the Company provide written notice of its intent to terminate to KKR by 8:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time on June 9, 2017 (the “ KKR Termination Notice ”) and pay KKR (or its designees) a $22.5 million termination fee (the “ KKR Termination Fee ”).
On June 9, 2017, the Company delivered the KKR Termination Notice in accordance with the Amendment and paid the KKR Termination Fee. Accordingly, the KKR Investment Agreement was terminated.
Initial Closing of Sirius Transaction
Concurrently with delivering the KKR Termination Notice, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement dated as of June 9, 2017 (the “ Sirius Investment Agreement ”) by and between the Company and Sirius XM Radio Inc. (“ Sirius ”) relating to the issuance and sale to Sirius of 480,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Series A Preferred Stock ”), for an aggregate purchase price of $480 million, or $1,000 per share. The Sirius Investment Agreement provided that (i) 172,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock would be issued and sold to Sirius on June 9, 2017 (the “ Initial Closing ”) and (ii) the remaining 307,500 shares would be issued and sold to Sirius at a future date (the “ Additional Closing ”), subject to and following the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including, among others, obtaining clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “ HSR Act ”).
In accordance with the Sirius Investment Agreement, the Initial Closing was consummated on June 9, 2017, whereby Sirius paid to the Company $172.5 million in exchange for 172,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
Certificate of Designation
On June 9, 2017, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “ Certificate of Designation ”). The Certificate of Designation became effective upon filing.
As described further in the Certificate of Designation, the Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), with respect to dividend rights, redemption rights and rights on the distribution of assets on any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company. The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend at the rate of 6.0% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, as set forth in the Certificate of Designation.
Beginning on the date of the Additional Closing (or if the Sirius Investment Agreement is terminated prior to the Additional Closing, the date of such termination), the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holders at any time into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $10.50 per share of Common Stock and an initial conversion rate of 95.2381 shares of Common Stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments. Any conversion of Series A Preferred Stock may be settled by the Company, at its option, in shares of Common Stock, cash or any combination thereof. However, unless and until the Company’s shareholders have approved the issuance of greater than 19.99% of the outstanding Common Stock, as required by the New York Stock Exchange’s listing requirements (“ Shareholder Approval ”), the Series A Preferred Stock may not be converted into more than 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of the date of the Initial Closing. In addition, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may not convert if such conversion would require approval (or the expiration or early termination of any applicable waiting period) under the HSR Act and such approval (or expiration or early termination) has not occurred.
At any time the Series A Preferred Stock would be, but for the 19.99% cap, convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock exceeding 19.99% of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of the Initial Closing, the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock may require the Company to hold a meeting of the Company’s shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder Approval. The Company must hold the shareholder meeting within 120





days following written request by such holders and must use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Shareholder Approval. If Shareholder Approval is not obtained at such meeting, the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock have the right to require the Company to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Shareholder Approval at any subsequent annual meeting of the Company until Shareholder Approval is obtained.
Beginning on the date of the Additional Closing, holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote as a single class with the holders of Common Stock on an as-converted basis (up to a maximum of 19.99% of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of the Initial Closing, unless Shareholder Approval has been received). If the Sirius Investment Agreement is terminated prior to the Additional Closing, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to exercise such voting rights only following the receipt of approvals required by the HSR Act (or expiration or early termination of any applicable waiting period thereunder) or if such holders are otherwise permitted under the HSR Act to exercise such voting rights.
Effective as of the Initial Closing, holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a separate class vote with respect to amendments to the Company’s organizational documents that have an adverse effect on the Series A Preferred Stock, issuances by the Company of securities that are senior to, or equal in priority with, the Series A Preferred Stock and the incurrence of indebtedness for borrowed money in excess of $500 million and, beginning in any year in which the Company generates positive Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), three times trailing four quarter Consolidated EBITDA.
Upon certain change of control events involving the Company, the Company is required to repurchase all of the Series A Preferred Stock at a price equal to the greater of (1) an amount in cash equal to 100% of the liquidation preference thereof plus all accrued but unpaid dividends through the fifth anniversary of the Initial Closing (assuming such shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding through such date) and (2) the consideration the holders would have received if they had converted their shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock immediately prior to the change of control event (disregarding the 19.99% cap).
On any date after the fifth anniversary of the Additional Closing (or, if the Additional Closing does not occur, the fifth anniversary of the Initial Closing), the holders of Series A Preferred Stock have the right to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock at 100% of the liquidation preference thereof plus all accrued but unpaid dividends for, at the election of the Company, cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, provided that the Company may not settle the redemption for shares of Common Stock to the extent the 19.99% cap would be exceeded. If the Additional Closing has not occurred, however, cash redemption is required.
Beginning (i) after the third anniversary of the date of the Additional Closing (or, if the Additional Closing does not occur, the third anniversary of the Initial Closing) or (ii) after the Sirius Investment Agreement is terminated prior to the Additional Closing, if the volume weighted average price per share of Common Stock exceeds $18.375, as may be adjusted pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, for at least 20 trading days in any period of 30 consecutive trading days, all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed at 100% of the liquidation preference thereof plus all accrued but unpaid dividends for, at the election of the Company, cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, provided that the Company may not settle the redemption for shares of Common Stock to the extent the 19.99% cap would be exceeded. However, if the Company elects to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to item (ii) above, the Company must receive the written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and must redeem the Series A Preferred Stock in cash.
Sirius Investment Agreement
Pursuant to the Sirius Investment Agreement, the Company has agreed to elect three individuals to be designated by Sirius to the Company’s board of directors (the “ Board ”) from and after the Additional Closing, unless Sirius and its affiliates fail to beneficially own shares of Series A Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock that were issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock equal to (on an as-converted basis) at least 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock purchased by Sirius under the Sirius Investment Agreement at the Initial Closing and, following the Additional Closing, the Additional Closing (the “ Fall-Away of Sirius’ Board Rights ”). Following the earlier to occur of (i) the second anniversary of the Additional Closing and (ii) the date on which Sirius and its affiliates fail to beneficially own shares of Series A Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock that were issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock equal to (on an as-converted basis) at least 75% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock purchased by Sirius under the Sirius Investment Agreement at the Initial Closing and, following the Additional Closing, the Additional Closing (the “ 75% Beneficial Ownership Test ”), Sirius shall have the right to designate only two directors.





Until the Fall-Away of Sirius’ Board Rights, the Company has agreed under the Sirius Investment Agreement to include the Sirius designees in the Company’s slate of director nominees at the Company’s annual meetings, to be elected by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock voting as a separate class.
Sirius is subject to certain standstill restrictions, including, among other things, that Sirius will be restricted from acquiring additional securities of the Company for eighteen months after the Initial Closing Date. Sirius also may not make, encourage or participate in the solicitation of proxies to vote the Company’s securities until the later of (i) the second anniversary of the Additional Closing or (ii) the date on which all of Sirius’ designees have resigned from and are no longer serving on the Board. Finally, Sirius may not take certain actions with respect to any merger, consolidation, business combination or similar transactions involving the Company, other than confidential proposals to the Board of Directors that are not reasonably expected to require public disclosure by the Company, until the second anniversary of the Additional Closing (or the second anniversary of the Initial Closing, if the Sirius Investment Agreement is terminated prior to the Additional Closing).

The Sirius Investment Agreement may be terminated by either party if the Additional Closing has not occurred by February 1, 2018 (the “ Termination Date ”). However, if all applicable closing conditions have been satisfied as of such date other than with respect to the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, the Termination Date will be extended for an additional 60 days.

Registration Rights Agreement
On June 9, 2017, the Company and Sirius entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to provide the purchasers party thereto with certain customary registration rights with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock and any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary terms and conditions, including certain customary indemnification obligations.
The foregoing descriptions of the Amendment, the KKR Termination Notice, the Sirius Investment Agreement, the Certificate of Designation and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by, the full text of the Amendment, the KKR Termination Notice, the Sirius Investment Agreement, the Certificate of Designation and the Registration Rights Agreement, as applicable, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 3.1, and 10.4, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
Ticketfly Purchase Agreement
On June 9, 2017, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) by and among Eventbrite, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Eventbrite ”) and Ticketfly, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“ Ticketfly ”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and Eventbrite agreed to buy, 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interest of Ticketfly from the Company (the “ Interests ”). The purchase price for the Interests is $200 million, which consists of $150 million in cash and $50 million in the form of a convertible subordinated promissory note (the “ Note ”) which are payable and issuable at the Closing. The purchase price is subject to customary adjustments for working capital. The Note will be due five years from its issuance date (the “ Maturity Date ”) and will accrue interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum, payable quarterly in cash or stock for the first year, and in cash thereafter. Prior to the Maturity Date, the Note is convertible at the Company’s option into shares of Eventbrite’s common stock.
The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations and warranties of the parties and covenants, including without limitation covenants with respect to actions taken prior to the closing, cooperation with respect to regulatory issues, and access to information. The Purchase Agreement provides for customary and certain special indemnities and is also subject to customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act. The Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights for the parties, including if the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby does not occur by September 9, 2017 or, under certain conditions, if there has been a breach of certain representations and warranties or a failure to perform any covenant by the other party. Closing is anticipated to occur in the third quarter of 2017.

The Conversion Right may be exercised as to all or any portion of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock from time to time after the earlier of (i) the Additional Closing or (ii) if the Investment Agreement is terminated prior to the Additional Closing, the date of such termination; provided that, in each case, the Conversion Right may not be exercised by a Holder in respect of fewer than 25,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (unless such conversion relates to all shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder); provided , further , that prior to the receipt of Shareholder Approval, Series A Preferred Stock and Accrued Dividends shall not be convertible pursuant to this Section 6 (assuming the Company elects Physical Settlement or Combination Settlement) in the aggregate into more than 19.99% of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding on the Initial Issuance Date (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, distribution, combination or other similar recapitalization) (such limitation, the “ 19.99% Threshold ”).

Any

18




shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(ii)      The cash, shares of Common Stock or combination of cash and shares of Common Stock in respect of any conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “ Settlement Amount ”) shall be computed as follows:
(A)    if the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) to settle the conversion by Physical Settlement, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock being converted or

19




redeemed a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of the Accrued Amount divided by the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date;
 
(B)         if the Company elects to settle the conversion by Cash Settlement, the Company shall pay to the converting Holder in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock being converted cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 40 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period; and
 
(C)        if the Company elects to settle the conversion by Combination Settlement, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock being converted, a Settlement Amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 40 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period.

Such delivery of shares of Common Stock, securities or other property shall be made, at the option of the Company, in certificated form or by book-entry. Any such certificate or certificates shall be delivered by the Company to the appropriate Holder on a book-entry basis or by mailing certificates evidencing the shares to the Holders at their respective addresses as set forth in the Conversion Notice. If a Holder shall not by written notice designate the name in which shares of Common Stock (and payments of cash in lieu of fractional shares) and, to the extent applicable, cash, securities or other property to be delivered upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock should be registered or paid, or the manner in which such shares, cash, securities or other property should be delivered, the Company shall be entitled to register and deliver such shares, securities or other property, and make such payment, in the name of the Holder and in the manner shown on the records of the Company.
(c)      Conversion Procedure . A Holder must do each of the following in order to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6 :

The Person or Persons in whose name the shares of Common Stock (and, to the extent applicable, cash, securities or other property issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock) shall be issued upon conversion shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date (if the Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion Right by Physical Settlement) or the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (if the Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion Right by Combination Settlement), as the case may be.
(f)      Status of Converted Shares . Shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted in accordance with this Certificate of Designations, shall return to the status of and constitute authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without classification as to series until such shares are once more classified as a particular series by the Board pursuant to the provisions of the Charter.
(g)      Partial Conversion . In case any certificate for shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the certificate so surrendered a new certificate for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock not converted.
SECTION 8.      Redemption Upon Change of Control.
(a)      Mandatory Redemption; Change of Control Redemption Price . Subject to Section 8(d) , upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall be required to redeem the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a redemption price per share of Series A

21




Preferred Stock, payable in cash (in the case of clause (i)) or the applicable consideration (in the case of clause (ii)), equal to the greater of (i) the Series A Change of Control Redemption Price of such share of Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) the amount of cash and/or other assets such Holder would have received had such Holder, immediately prior to such Change of Control, converted such share of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to Section 6 (disregarding the 19.99% Threshold) (the “ Change of Control Redemption Price ”) .
(b)      Initial Change of Control Notice . On or before the twentieth (20th) Business Day prior to the date on which the Company anticipates consummating a Change of Control (or, if later, promptly after the Company discovers that a Change of Control may occur), a written notice (a “ Change of Control Notice ”) shall be sent by or on behalf of the Company to the Holders as they appear in the records of the Company, which notice shall contain the date on which the Change of Control is anticipated to be effected (or, if applicable, the date on which a Schedule TO or other schedule, form or report disclosing a Change of Control was filed). The Change of Control Notice shall include (i) a description of the material terms and conditions of the Change of Control, (ii) the date on which the Change of Control is anticipated to be consummated, (iii) the Change of Control Redemption Price and the calculation thereof, (iv) a description of the payments and other actions required to be made or taken in order to effect the Satisfaction of the Indebtedness Obligations and (v) the instructions a Holder must follow to receive payment.

(d)      Cash Redemption Not Permitted . If the Company (A) shall not have sufficient funds legally available under the DGCL to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock or (B) will be in violation of Specified Contract Terms if it redeems outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company shall (i) redeem, pro rata among the Holders, a number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock with an aggregate Change of Control Redemption Price equal to the lesser of (1) the amount legally available for the redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock under the DGCL and (2) the largest amount that can be used for such redemption not prohibited by Specified Contract Terms and (ii) redeem any shares of Series A Preferred Stock not purchased because of the foregoing limitations at the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price as soon as practicable after the Company is able to make such redemption out of assets legally available for the purchase of such share of Series A Preferred Stock and without violation of Specified Contract Terms. The inability of the Company (or its successor) to make a redemption payment for any reason shall not relieve the Company (or its successor) from its obligation to effect any required purchase when, as and if permitted by applicable law and Specified Contract Terms. If the Company fails to pay the Change of Control Redemption Price in full when due in accordance with this Section 8 in respect of some or all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 8 , the Company will pay Dividends on such shares not repurchased at a Dividend Rate equal to 8.0% per annum, accruing daily from such date until the Change of Control Redemption Price, plus all Accrued Dividends thereon, are paid in full in respect of such shares of

22




Series A Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change of Control occurs at a time when the Company is restricted or prohibited (contractually or otherwise) from redeeming some or all of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite consents to remove or obtain an exception or waiver to such restrictions or prohibition. For purposes of clarity , notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8 , the payment of the Change of Control Redemption Price may occur only after the Satisfaction of the Indebtedness Obligations occurs .
(e)      Change of Control Agreements .

(b)      Payment of Settlement . The Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the Settlement Amount on the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date or Redemption Date, if the Company elects Cash Settlement, or on the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period, in the case of any other Settlement Method.  If any shares of Common Stock are due upon redemption, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon redemption (and deliver payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares as set out in Section 12(h) ) and, to the extent applicable, any cash, securities or other property issuable thereon.

26




(c)      Physical Settlement for Common Stock in Excess of 19.99% . Notwithstanding Section 11(a) , if a Physical Settlement or Combination Settlement would result in the 19.99% Threshold being exceeded, then, subject to the next sentence, the Company must elect either (i) a Cash Settlement or (ii) a Combination Settlement that consists of (x) a Specified Dollar Amount of cash and (y) a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company that does not result in the 19.99% Threshold being exceeded. However, if, as of the applicable Redemption Date, the Company (A) shall not have sufficient funds legally available under the DGCL to pay the amount of cash required pursuant to the previous sentence (such amount, the “ Required Cash Settlement Amount ”) or (B) the Company would be violation of Specified Contract Terms if it pays the Required Cash Settlement Amount (or any portion thereof) in cash, then the Company shall, (1) redeem for Common Stock, pro rata among the Holders, the maximum number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that does not result in the 19.99% Threshold being exceeded, (2) redeem for an amount of cash, pro rata among the Holders, a number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, equal to the lesser of (I) the amount legally available for the redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock under the DGCL and (II) the largest amount that can be used for such redemption not prohibited by Specified Contract Terms and (3) either (A) redeem for Common Stock, pro rata among the Holders, any shares of Series A Preferred Stock not redeemed as soon as practicable that would not result in the 19.99% Threshold being exceeded and, in such event, the Company shall redeem the maximum number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that would not result in the 19.99% Threshold being exceeded or (B) redeem for cash any shares of Series A Preferred Stock not redeemed because of the foregoing limitations as soon as practicable after the Company is able to make such redemption out of assets legally available for the redemption of such share of Series A Preferred Stock and without violation of Specified Contract Terms. The inability of the Company (or its successor) to make a redemption payment in cash for any reason shall not relieve the Company (or its successor) from its obligation to effect any required redemption when, as and if permitted by applicable law and Specified Contract Terms. If the Company defers the redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with this Section 11(c) , Dividends on such shares not redeemed shall continue to accrue at the Dividend Rate, from the such date until such shares are redeemed (or converted into Common Stock).
(d)      Record Holder of Underlying Securities as of Redemption Date . The Person or Persons in whose name the shares of Common Stock (and, to the extent applicable, cash, securities or other property issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock) shall be issued upon redemption shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the close of business on the relevant Redemption Date (if the Company elects to satisfy the Redemption Right by Physical Settlement) or the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (if the Company elects to satisfy the Redemption Right by Combination Settlement), as the case may be.
SECTION 12.      Anti-Dilution Adjustments.
(a)      Adjustments . The Conversion Rate will be subject to adjustment, without duplication, upon the occurrence of the following events, except that the Company shall not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock participate, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Stock and solely as a result of holding

27




shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in any transaction described in this Section 12(a) , without having to convert their Series A Preferred Stock, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate multiplied by the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holders:
(i)      The issuance of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, or a subdivision or combination of Common Stock or a reclassification of Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, in which event the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
CR1 = CR0 x (OS1 / OS0)
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on (i) the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification
CR1 = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on (i) the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification
OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on (i) the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification
OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, the completion of such event
Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (i) shall be effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. If any such event is announced or declared but does not occur, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board announces that such event shall not occur, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such event had not been declared.
(ii)      The dividend, distribution or other issuance to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock of rights (other than rights, options or warrants distributed in connection with a stockholder rights plan (in which event the provisions of Section 12(a)(vii) shall apply), options or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock for a period expiring forty-five (45) days or less from the date of issuance thereof, at a price per share that is less than the Current Market Price as of the Record Date for such issuance, in which event the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

28




CR1 = CR0 x [(OS0+X) / (OS0+Y)]
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance
CR1 = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately following the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance
OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance
X = the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the Current Market Price as of the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance.
For purposes of this clause (ii), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to purchase the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the Current Market Price as of the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance, there shall 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 other than cash, to be the Fair Market Value thereof.
Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (ii) shall become effective immediately following the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance. In the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board publicly announces its decision not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution or issuance had not been declared. To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Common Stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights, options or warrants upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the dividend, distribution or issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.
(iii)      The Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries purchases Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer (other than an exchange offer that constitutes a Distribution Transaction subject to Section 12(a)(v) ) by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock, or otherwise acquires Common Stock (except in an open market purchase in compliance with Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act or through an “accelerated share repurchase” on customary terms) (a “ Covered Repurchase ”), if the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock validly tendered, exchanged or otherwise acquired through a Covered Repurchase exceeds the arithmetic average of the VWAP per share of Common

29




Stock for each of the ten (10) consecutive full Trading Days commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last day on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) or shares of Common Stock are otherwise acquired through a Covered Repurchase (the “ Expiration Date ”), in which event the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
CR1 = CR0 x [(FMV + (SP1 x OS1)) / (SP1 x OS0)]
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date
CR1 = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Expiration Date
FMV = the Fair Market Value, on the Expiration Date, of all cash and any other consideration paid or payable for all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn, or otherwise acquired through a Covered Repurchase, as of the Expiration Date
OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the last time tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (including the shares to be purchased in such tender or exchange offer) or shares are otherwise acquired through a Covered Repurchase
OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the last time tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (after giving effect to the purchase of shares in such tender or exchange offer) or shares are otherwise acquired through a Covered Repurchase
SP1 = the arithmetic average of the VWAP per share of Common Stock for each of the ten (10) consecutive full Trading Days commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Expiration Date. If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required under this Section 12(a)(iii) , delivery of any additional shares of Common Stock that may be deliverable upon conversion as a result of an adjustment required under this Section 12(a)(iii) shall be delayed to the extent necessary in order to complete the calculations provided for in this Section 12(a)(iii) .
In the event that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer, exchange offer or other commitment to acquire shares of Common Stock through a Covered Repurchase but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would have been then in effect if such tender offer, exchange offer or Covered Repurchase had not been made.

30




(iv)      The Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock (other than for cash in lieu of fractional shares), shares of any class of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, assets, other property or securities, but excluding (A) dividends or distributions referred to in Section 12(a)(i) or Section 12(a)(ii) hereof, (B) Distribution Transactions as to which Section 12(a)(v) shall apply, (C) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which Section 12(a)(vi) shall apply and (D) rights, options or warrants distributed in connection with a stockholder rights plan as to which Section 12(a)(vii) shall apply (any of such shares of its Capital Stock, indebtedness, assets or property that are not so excluded are hereinafter called the “ Distributed Property ”), then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
CR1 = CR0 x [SP0 / (SP0 - FMV)]
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution
CR1 = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution
SP0 = the Current Market Price as of the Record Date for such dividend or distribution
FMV = the Fair Market Value of the portion of Distributed Property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution; provided that, if FMV is equal or greater than SP0, then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, the Company shall distribute to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock on the date the applicable Distributed Property is distributed to holders of Common Stock, but without requiring such holder to convert its shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder, the amount of Distributed Property such holder would have received had such holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution
Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. If any such dividend or distribution is declared but does not occur, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board announces that such dividend or distribution shall not occur, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(v)      The Company effects a Distribution Transaction, in which case the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the Distribution Transaction shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

31




CR1 = CR0 x [(FMV + MP0) / MP0]
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the effective date of the Distribution Transaction
CR1 = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the effective date of the Distribution Transaction
FMV = the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average prices for a share of the capital stock or other interest distributed per share of Common Stock to holders of Common Stock on the principal United States securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such capital stock or other interest trades, as reported by Bloomberg (or, if Bloomberg ceases to publish such price, any successor service chosen by the Company) in respect of the period from the open of trading on the relevant Trading Day until the close of trading on such Trading Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market price of one share of such capital stock or other interest on such Trading Day determined, using a volume-weighted average method, by an Independent Financial Advisor retained for such purpose by the Company), for each of the ten consecutive full Trading Days commencing with, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the effective date of the Distribution Transaction
MP0 = the arithmetic average of the VWAP per share of Common Stock for each of the ten (10) consecutive full Trading Days commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the effective date of the Distribution Transaction
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately following the close of business on the effective date of the Distribution Transaction. If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required under this Section 12(a)(v) , delivery of any additional shares of Common Stock that may be deliverable upon conversion as a result of an adjustment required under this Section 12(a)(v) shall be delayed to the extent necessary in order to complete the calculations provided for in this Section 12(a)(v) .
(vi)      The Company makes a cash dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
CR1 = CR0 x [SP0 / (SP0 – C)]
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution
CR1 = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution
SP0 = the Current Market Price as of the Record Date for such dividend or distribution

32




C = the amount in cash per share of Common Stock the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock; provided that, if C is equal or greater than SP0, then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, the Company shall pay to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock on the date the applicable cash dividend or distribution is made to holders of Common Stock, but without requiring such holder to convert its shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder, the amount of cash such holder would have received had such holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution
Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (vi) shall be effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. If any dividend or distribution is declared but not paid, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board announces that such dividend or distribution will not be paid, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such had dividend or distribution not been declared.
(vii)      If the Company has a stockholder rights plan in effect with respect to the Common Stock on any Conversion Date, upon conversion of any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, Holders of such shares will receive, in addition to the applicable number of shares of Common Stock, the rights under such rights plan relating to such Common Stock, unless, prior to such Conversion Date, the rights have (i) become exercisable or (ii) separated from the shares of Common Stock (the first of such events to occur, a “ Trigger Event ”), in which case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted, effective automatically at the time of such Trigger Event, as if the Company had made a distribution of such rights to all holders of the Company Common Stock as described in Section 12(a)(ii) (without giving effect to the forty-five (45) day limit on the exercisability of rights, options or warrants ordinarily subject to such Section 12(a)(ii) ), subject to appropriate readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights prior to the exercise, deemed exercise or exchange thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any such stockholder rights are exchanged by the Company for shares of Common Stock or other property or securities, the Conversion Rate shall be appropriately readjusted as if such stockholder rights had not been issued, but the Company had instead issued such shares of Common Stock or other property or securities as a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 12(a)(i) or Section 12(a)(iv ), as applicable.
To the extent that such rights are not exercised prior to their expiration, termination or redemption, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the occurrence of the Trigger Event been made on the basis of the issuance of, and the receipt of the exercise price with respect to, only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued pursuant to such rights.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12(a)(vii) , no adjustment shall be required to be made to the Conversion Rate with respect to any Holder which is, or is an “affiliate” or “associate” of, an “acquiring person” under such stockholder rights plan or with respect to any direct or indirect transferee of such Holder who receives Series A Preferred Stock in such

33




transfer after the time such Holder becomes, or its affiliate or associate becomes, such an “acquiring person”.
(b)      Calculation of Adjustments . All adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall be calculated by the Company to the nearest 1/10,000th of one share of Common Stock (or if there is not a nearest 1/10,000th of a share, to the next lower 1/10,000th of a share). No adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent of the Conversion Rate; provided , however , that any such adjustment that is not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided , further that any such adjustment of less than one percent that has not been made will be made upon any Conversion Date.
(c)      When No Adjustment Required . (i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 12 , the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted for the issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing, or for the repurchase of Common Stock.
(i)      Except as otherwise provided in this Section 12 , the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted as a result of the issuance of, the distribution of separate certificates representing, the exercise or redemption of, or the termination or invalidation of, rights pursuant to any stockholder rights plans.
(ii)      No adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made:
(A)      upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in Common Stock under any plan in which purchases are made at market prices on the date or dates of purchase, without discount, and whether or not the Company bears the ordinary costs of administration and operation of the plan, including brokerage commissions;
(B)      upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase such shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or of any employee agreements or arrangements or programs;
(C)      except as otherwise provided in this Section 12 upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security; or
(D)      for a change in the par value of the Common Stock.
(d)      Successive Adjustments . After an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 12 , any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under this Section 12 shall cause an adjustment to each such Conversion Rate as so adjusted.

34




(e)      Multiple Adjustments . For the avoidance of doubt, if an event occurs that would trigger an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 12 under more than one subsection hereof, such event, to the extent fully taken into account in a single adjustment, shall not result in multiple adjustments hereunder; provided , however , that if more than one subsection of this Section 12 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment.
(f)      Notice of Adjustments . Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as provided under this Section 12 , the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires such adjustment (or if the Company is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming so aware):
(i)      compute the adjusted applicable Conversion Rate in accordance with this Section 12 and prepare and transmit to the Conversion Agent an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the applicable Conversion Rate, the method of calculation thereof, and the facts requiring such adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based; and
(ii)      provide a written notice to the Holders of the occurrence of such event and a statement in reasonable detail setting forth the method by which the adjustment to the applicable Conversion Rate was determined and setting forth the adjusted applicable Conversion Rate.
(g)      Conversion Agent . The Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same. The Conversion Agent shall be fully authorized and protected in relying on any Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 12(f) and any adjustment contained therein and the Conversion Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment unless and until it has received such certificate. The Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, that may at the time be issued or delivered with respect to any Series A Preferred Stock and the Conversion Agent makes no representation with respect thereto. The Conversion Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Section 12 .
(h)      Fractional Shares . The Company shall not issue any fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion or redemption, as the case may be, of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and shall instead pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or redemption, as the case may be, based on the Daily VWAP for the relevant Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or based on the Daily VWAP for the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (in the case of Combination Settlement). For each share of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or redemption, if the Company has elected Combination Settlement, the full number of shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the relevant

35




Observation Period and any fractional shares remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash.
SECTION 13.      Adjustment for Reorganization Events.
(a)      Reorganization Events . In the event of:
(i)      any reclassification, statutory exchange, merger, consolidation or other similar business combination of the Company with or into another Person, in each case, pursuant to which at least a majority of the Common Stock (but not the Series A Preferred Stock) is changed or converted into, or exchanged for, cash, securities or other property of the Company or another Person;
(ii)      any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of all or a majority of the property and assets of the Company, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock (but not the Series A Preferred Stock) is converted into cash, securities or other property; or
(iii)      any statutory exchange of securities of the Company with another Person (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition) or reclassification, recapitalization or reorganization of the Common Stock (but not the Series A Preferred Stock) into other securities; (each of which is referred to as a “ Reorganization Event ”),
then each share of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Reorganization Event will, without the consent of the Holders and subject to Section 13(d) , remain outstanding but shall become convertible into, out of funds legally available therefor, the number, kind and amount of securities, cash and other property (the “ Exchange Property ”) (without any interest on such Exchange Property and without any right to dividends or distribution on such Exchange Property which have a record date that is prior to the applicable Conversion Date) that the Holder of such share of Series A Preferred Stock would have received in such Reorganization Event had such Holder converted its shares of Series A Preferred Stock into the applicable number of shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event using the Conversion Rate applicable immediately prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event and the Accrued Amount applicable at the time of such subsequent conversion; provided that the foregoing shall not apply if such Holder is a Person with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (any such Person, a “ Constituent Person ”), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person, to the extent such Reorganization Event provides for different treatment of Common Stock held by such Persons. If the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event is not the same for each share of Common Stock held immediately prior to such Reorganization Event by a Person (other than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof), then for the purpose of this Section 13(a) , the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon conversion following such Reorganization Event will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock.

36




(b)      Successive Reorganization Events . The above provisions of this Section 13 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events and the provisions of Section 12 shall apply to any shares of Capital Stock received by the holders of the Common Stock in any such Reorganization Event.
(c)      Reorganization Event Notice . The Company (or any successor) shall, no less than thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated effective date of any Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the Holders of such occurrence of such event and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that constitutes the Exchange Property. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of this Section 13 .
(d)      Reorganization Event Agreements . The Company shall not enter into any agreement for a transaction constituting a Reorganization Event unless (i) such agreement provides for or does not interfere with or prevent (as applicable) conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into the Exchange Property in a manner that is consistent with and gives effect to this Section 13 , and (ii) to the extent that the Company is not the surviving corporation in such Reorganization Event or will be dissolved in connection with such Reorganization Event, proper provision shall be made in the agreements governing such Reorganization Event for the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into stock of the Person surviving such Reorganization Event or such other continuing entity in such Reorganization Event.
(e)      Change of Control . For sake of clarity, if a Reorganization Event constitutes a Change of Control, then Section 8 shall take precedence over this Section 13 .
SECTION 14.      Voting Rights.
(a)      General . Except as provided in and subject to Section 14(b) , Section 14(e) and Section 15 , Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock and the holders of any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Company then entitled to vote with the Common Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock (and, if applicable, holders of any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Company).  Each Holder shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the largest number of whole shares of Common Stock into which all shares of Series A Preferred Stock held of record by such Holder could then be converted pursuant to Section 6 (and prior to the receipt of Shareholder Approval, subject to the limitations on conversion specified in the last proviso of the second to last sentence of Section 6(a) ) at the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote or consent on such matters or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote or consent is taken or any written consent of stockholders is first executed.  The Holders shall be entitled to notice of any meeting of holders of Common Stock in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company.
(b)      Series A Approval Rights . From and after the Initial Closing, the vote or consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at such time, voting together as a separate class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, will be necessary for effecting or

37




validating any of the following actions, whether or not such approval is required pursuant to the DGCL:
(i)      any amendment, alteration or repeal (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of any provision of the Charter (including this Certificate of Designations) or Bylaws that would have an adverse effect on the rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock or the Holder thereof;
(ii)      any amendment or alteration (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of the Charter or any provision thereof, or any other action to authorize, create or classify, or increase the number of authorized or issued shares of, or any securities convertible into shares of, or reclassify any security into, or issue, any additional Series A Preferred Stock, any Parity Stock or any Senior Stock; or
(iii)      the incurrence of additional indebtedness for borrowed money if, as a result thereof, the Company’s Consolidated Funded Indebtedness would exceed (i) $500 million and (ii) commencing in any year in which the Company generates positive Consolidated EBITDA, three (3) times Consolidated EBITDA of the Company for the four quarter period for which financial statements are publicly available ending prior to the incurrence of such indebtedness for borrowed money.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Fall-Away of Purchaser Board Rights has occurred, the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall no longer have the right to approve the matters set forth in clauses (ii) or (iii) above. For purposes of this Section 14(b) , the filing in accordance with applicable law of a certificate of designations or any similar document setting forth or changing the designations, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications or other terms of any class or series of stock of the Company shall be deemed an amendment to the Charter.
(c)      Class Voting .  Each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock will have one vote per share on any matter on which Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote separately as a class, whether at a meeting or by written consent.
(d)      Written Consents .  The Holders of Series A Preferred Stock may take action or consent to any action with respect to such rights without a meeting by delivering a consent in writing or by electronic transmission of the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock entitled to cast not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize, take or consent to such action at a meeting of stockholder.
(e)      Voting Rights and Additional Closing . Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(i)    no Holder prior to the Additional Closing shall be entitled to any voting rights set forth in Section 14(a) ; and
(ii)    if the Investment Agreement is terminated prior to the Additional Closing having occurred, each Holder shall be entitled to the voting rights set forth in Section 14

38




(a) from and following such time as all then Holders shall have received Regulatory Approval or are otherwise permitted under the HSR Act to exercise or obtain such voting rights without obtaining Regulatory Approval.
SECTION 15.      Election of Directors . Provided that the Fall-Away of Purchaser Board Rights has not occurred, at each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders after the Additional Closing the Holders (or any other meeting of the Company’s stockholder voting on the election of members of the Board) of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the exclusive right, voting separately as a class, to elect three Purchaser Designees to the Board (or, after the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is the second anniversary of the Additional Closing Date and (ii) the first date on which the 75% Beneficial Owner Test is not met, two Purchaser Designees for election to the Board at such meeting).
SECTION 16.      Transfer Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar and Paying Agent . The duly appointed Transfer Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar and paying agent for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be Computershare, Inc. The Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint any other Person to serve as Transfer Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar or paying agent for the Series A Preferred Stock and thereafter may remove or replace such other Person at any time. Upon any such appointment or removal, the Company shall send notice thereof by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders.
SECTION 17.      Replacement Certificates . If physical certificates evidencing the Series A Preferred Stock are issued, the Company shall replace any mutilated certificate at the Holder’s expense upon surrender of that certificate to the Transfer Agent.

SECTION 18.      Taxes.
(a)      Transfer Taxes . The Company shall pay any and all stock transfer, documentary, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or shares of Common Stock or other securities issued on account of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant hereto or certificates representing such shares or securities. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, shares of Common Stock or other securities to a beneficial owner other than the beneficial owner of the of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such conversion, and shall not be required to make any such issuance, delivery or payment unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance, delivery or payment has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid or is not payable.
(b)      Withholding . All payments and distributions (or deemed distributions) on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (and on the shares of Common Stock received upon their conversion) shall be subject to withholding and backup withholding of taxes to the extent required by law, subject to applicable exemptions, and amounts withheld, if any, shall be treated as received by the Holders.

39




SECTION 19.      Notices . All notices referred to herein shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of receipt thereof or three (3) Business Days after the mailing thereof if sent by registered or certified mail (unless first class mail shall be specifically permitted for such notice under the terms of this Certificate of Designations) with postage prepaid, addressed: (i) if to the Company, to its office at Pandora Media, Inc., 2101 Webster Street, Suite 1650, Oakland, CA 94612 (Attention: General Counsel), (ii) if to any Holder, to such Holder at the address of such Holder as listed in the stock record books of the Company (which may include the records of the Transfer Agent) or (iii) to such other address as the Company or any such Holder, as the case may be, shall have designated by notice similarly given.
SECTION 20.      Facts Ascertainable .

The Secretary of the Company shall also maintain a written record of the Issuance Date, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to a Holder and the date of each such issuance, and shall furnish such written record free of charge to any Holder who makes a request therefor.
SECTION 21.      Waiver . Notwithstanding any provision in this Certificate of Designations to the contrary, any provision contained herein and any right of the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock granted hereunder may be waived as to all shares of Series A Preferred Stock (and the Holders thereof) upon the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.
SECTION 22.      Severability . If any term of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth herein is invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, all other terms set forth herein which can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable term will, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect, and no term herein set forth will be deemed dependent upon any other such term unless so expressed herein.
SECTION 23.      Transfer Restriction .

(e)      by the Company if the Purchaser shall have breached any of its representations or warranties or failed to perform any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition

Section 7.02      Effect of Termination . In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.01 , written notice thereof shall be given to the other party, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void (other than Section 5.03 , this Section 7.02 , Section 7.03 and Article VIII , all of which shall survive termination of this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement (which shall survive in accordance with its terms except as otherwise provided herein)), and there shall be no liability on the part of the Purchaser or the Company or their respective directors, officers and Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, except that no such termination shall relieve any party from liability for damages to another party resulting from a willful and material breach of this Agreement prior to the date of termination or from fraud; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, except in the case of fraud, the Company shall not have any such liability in excess of the Purchase Price for all of the Acquired Shares and the Purchaser shall not have any liability in excess of the Purchase Price for the Acquired Shares to be purchased by such Purchaser.

Resale Shelf Registration

Section 1.1      Resale Shelf Registration Statement . Subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file within 120 days after the date hereof a registration statement covering the sale or distribution from time to time by the Holders, on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act, of all of the Registrable Securities on Form S‑3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S‑3, then such registration shall be on another appropriate form and shall provide for the registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by the Holders in accordance with any reasonable method of distribution elected by the Purchasers) (the “ Resale Shelf Registration Statement ”) and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be an automatic shelf registration statement that may become effective upon filing with the SEC pursuant to Rule 462(e) if Rule 462(e) is available to the Company).
Section 1.2      Effectiveness Period . Once declared effective, the Company shall, subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be continuously effective and usable until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities (the “ Effectiveness Period ”).







Section 1.3      Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement . If any Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf Registration Statement to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf Registration Statement in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement or file an additional registration statement (a “ Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement ”) for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by the Holders thereof of all securities that are Registrable Securities as of the time of such filing. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement may be an automatic shelf registration statement that shall become effective upon filing with the SEC pursuant to Rule 462(e) if Rule 462(e) is available to the Company) and (b) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and usable until the end of the Effectiveness Period. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be a registration statement on Form S‑3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on another appropriate form and shall provide for the registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by the Holders in accordance with any reasonable method of distribution elected by the Purchasers.
Section 1.4      Supplements and Amendments . The Company shall supplement and amend any Shelf Registration Statement if required by the Securities Act or the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement.
Section 1.5      Subsequent Holder Notice . If a Person entitled to the benefits of this Agreement becomes a Holder of Registrable Securities after a Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act, the Company shall, as promptly as is reasonably practicable following delivery of written notice to the Company of such Person becoming a Holder and requesting for its name to be included as a selling securityholder in the prospectus related to the Shelf Registration Statement (a “ Subsequent Holder Notice ”):
(a)      if required and permitted by applicable law, file with the SEC a supplement to the related prospectus or a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement so that such Holder is named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver a prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to file more than one post-effective amendment or a supplement to the related prospectus for such purpose in any 30-day period;

(b)      if, pursuant to Section 1.5(a) , the Company shall have filed a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement that is not automatically effective, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable; and
(c)      notify such Holder as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any post-effective amendment filed pursuant to Section 1.5(a) .
Section 1.6      Underwritten Offering .
(a)      Subject to any applicable restrictions on transfer in the Investment Agreement or otherwise, the Purchasers may, after the Resale Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, deliver a written notice to the Company (the “ Underwritten Offering Notice ”) specifying that the sale of some or all of the Registrable Securities subject to the Shelf Registration Statement, is intended to be conducted through an underwritten offering (the “ Underwritten Offering ”); provided , however , that the Holders of Registrable Securities may not, without the Company’s prior written consent, (i) launch an Underwritten Offering the anticipated gross proceeds of which shall be less than $50,000,000 (unless the Holders are proposing to sell all of their remaining Registrable Securities), (ii) launch an Underwritten Offering if the Holders have effected three (3) Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Section 1.6 or (iii) launch an Underwritten Offering within the period commencing fourteen (14) days prior to and ending two (2) days following the Company’s scheduled earnings release date for any fiscal quarter or year.
(b)      In the event of an Underwritten Offering, the Purchaser or Purchasers providing the Underwritten Offering Notice shall select the managing underwriter(s) to administer the Underwritten Offering; provided that the choice of such managing underwriter(s) shall be subject to the consent of the Company, which is not to be unreasonably withheld. The Company, the Purchasers and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in an Underwritten Offering will enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such offering.
(c)      The Company will not include in any Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 1.6 any securities that are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Purchasers. If the managing underwriter or underwriters advise the Company and the Purchasers in writing that in its or their good faith opinion the number of Registrable Securities (and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering) exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering in light of market conditions or is such so as to adversely affect the success of such offering, the Company will include in such offering only such number of securities that can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Holders that have requested to participate in such Underwritten Offering, allocated pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering by such Holders, and (ii) second, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included.

Section 1.8      Piggyback Registration .
(a)      If the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of Common Stock or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Common Stock, whether or not for sale for its own account (other than a registration statement (i) on Form S‑4, Form S‑8 or any successor forms thereto or (ii) filed to effectuate an exchange offer or any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan), then the Company shall give prompt written notice of such filing, which notice shall be given, to the extent reasonably practicable, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the filing date (the “ Piggyback Notice ”) to the Purchasers on behalf of the Holders of Registrable Securities. The Piggyback Notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to include (or cause to be included) in such registration statement the number of shares of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request (each, a “ Piggyback Registration Statement ”). Subject to Section 1.8(b) , the Company shall include in each Piggyback Registration Statement all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein (each, a “ Piggyback Request ”) within five (5) Business Days after the date of the Piggyback Notice but in any event not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the filing date of a Piggyback Registration Statement. The Company shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration Statement beyond the earlier of (x) 180 days after the effective date thereof and (y) consummation of the distribution by the Holders of the Registrable Securities included in such registration statement.
(b)      If any of the securities to be registered pursuant to the registration giving rise to the rights under this Section 1.8 are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit Holders of Registrable Securities who have timely submitted a Piggyback Request in connection with such offering to include in such offering all Registrable Securities included in each Holder’s Piggyback Request on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as any other shares of capital stock, if any, of the Company included in the offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering advise the Company in writing that in its or their good faith opinion the number of securities exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering in light of market conditions or is such so as to adversely affect the success of such offering, the Company will include in such offering only such number of securities that can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, the securities proposed to be sold by the Company for its own account and (ii) second, the securities of selling shareholders that have requested to participate in such offering, allocated pro rata among

4




the selling shareholders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling shareholder and its Affiliates (other than the Company)) or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling shareholders) but in no event shall the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below twenty-five percent (25%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering by selling shareholders .

The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 3.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the applicable Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
Section 3.3      Notification . If any Person shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article III (each, an “ Indemnified Party ”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the party required to provide indemnification (each, an “ Indemnifying Party ”) of any claim or of the commencement of any proceeding as to which indemnity is sought. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party as promptly as reasonably practicable after the receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such claim or proceeding, to assume, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the defense of any such claim or litigation, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such Indemnified Party hereunder for any legal expenses and other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided , however , that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such claim or litigation, but the fees

12




and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless the Indemnifying Party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the Indemnified Party is or would reasonably be expected to be materially prejudiced by such delay. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall relieve an Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article III only to the extent that the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial or harmful to such Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such action. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the prior written consent of each Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which (A) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation and (B) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. The indemnity agreements contained in this Article III shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnification set forth in this Article III shall be in addition to any other indemnification rights or agreements that an Indemnified Party may have. An Indemnifying Party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any Indemnified Party a conflict of interest may exist between such Indemnified Party and any other Indemnified Parties with respect to such claim.
Section 3.4      Contribution . If the indemnification provided for in this Article III is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party, other than pursuant to its terms, with respect to any Losses or action referred to therein, then, subject to the limitations contained in this Article III , the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made (or omitted) by, or relates to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, or such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission. The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.4 was determined solely upon pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 3.4 . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount each Purchaser or any Holder will be obligated to contribute pursuant to this Section 3.4 will be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds received by such Purchaser or Holder in respect of the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the registration statement which gives rise to such obligation to contribute. No

13




Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e)      Transfer Taxes . All transfer (documentary or otherwise), gains, value added, stamp, recording, registration, filing and conveyance Taxes, and other similar Taxes incurred in connection with

The parties hereto (and their Affiliates) agree not to take any position inconsistent with such treatment unless required by Applicable Law.

Within 60 days following the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a schedule (the “ Allocation Schedule ”) allocating the Purchase Price (including, for purposes of this Section 6.10(h) , any assumed liabilities, other consideration paid to Seller or other relevant items) for the assets of Company among such assets for Seller’s review and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).

Buyer agrees that it shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the liability for such Taxes in the preparation, filing, negotiation and settlement of such Voluntary Disclosure Filings. The Seller agrees that it shall not be permitted to contact any venue, customer or former customer of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to any sales, use or similar Tax matters, except with the prior written consent of the Buyer. Not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the filing of each Voluntary Disclosure Filing, Buyer shall provide Seller with a draft copy of such Voluntary Disclosure Filing for Seller’s review, and Buyer shall consider in good faith any comments to such Voluntary Disclosure Filing provided by Seller prior to filing. If Seller and Buyer do not agree with respect to the amount of Tax liability reflected in any Voluntary Disclosure Filing, and Seller and Buyer cannot mutually agree to continue their

    
45



efforts to resolve such differences, Seller and Buyer shall engage an accounting firm acceptable to both Seller and Buyer to review the matters in dispute with respect to such Voluntary Disclosure Filing.

After such review, the accounting firm shall promptly (and in any event within sixty (60) Business Days following its engagement) determine in writing the resolution of such disputed matters, which written determination shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. The cost of such review shall be paid one-half by Seller and one-half by Buyer. In the event of any conflict between Section 6.10(a), Section 6.10(b), Section 6.10(c) or Section 9.6 and this Section 6.10(i), this Section 6.10(i) shall control.

46



other than the parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Section 6.11 or any provision contained herein or (ii) establish, amend, or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement.

It is specifically understood and agreed that any breach of the provisions of this Section 6.12 by Seller or its Affiliates will result in irreparable injury to Buyer, that the remedy at law alone will be an inadequate remedy for such breach and that, in addition to any other remedy it may have, Buyer shall be entitled to enforce the specific performance of this Section 6.12 by Seller and its Affiliates through both temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond, but without limitation of their right to damages and any and all other remedies available to them, it being understood that injunctive relief is in addition to, and not in lieu of, such other remedies.
6.13      Commercial Agreement .

6.14      Financing .
(a)      Buyer shall use its best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary to obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Commitments as promptly as practicable, including using best efforts to: (i) maintain in effect the Financing Commitments in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Financing on the terms and conditions contained in the Financing Commitments, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions in the Financing Commitments that are within its control, (iv) upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Financing Commitments and all conditions herein to Buyer’s obligation to effect the Closing (in each case, other than those that can only be satisfied upon the Closing), consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Financing Commitments and (v) at the request of Seller, fully enforce the obligations of the investors and the lenders (and the rights

    
47



of Buyer) under the Financing Commitments, including the filing of one or more lawsuits against the committing parties to fully enforce such investor’s and lender’s obligations (and the rights of Buyer) thereunder. Buyer shall keep Seller reasonably informed with respect to all material activity concerning the status of the Financing, including the status of Buyer’s efforts to comply with its covenants under, and satisfy the conditions contemplated by, the Financing Commitments and shall give Seller prompt notice of any event or change that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the ability of Buyer to timely consummate the Financing. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall give written notice to Seller promptly, and in any event within two Business Days, if at any time: (A) the Financing Commitments shall expire or be terminated for any reason or Buyer becomes aware of a material breach by any party to any Financing Commitments; (B) the receipt, on or prior to the Closing Date, of any written notice or other written communication from any financing source with respect to any actual or potential breach, default, event of default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Commitments or any definitive document related to the Financing or pursuant to which the investors or lenders thereunder have indicated that they will not perform their obligations to make the investments or loans and other extensions of credit thereunder at or prior to the Closing; or (C) Buyer otherwise determines that Buyer is unlikely to timely receive the Financing. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall not agree to any amendment, modification, supplementation, restatement or replacement of, or waiver under, the Financing Commitments in any manner (including by way of a side letter or other binding agreement, arrangement or understanding) without the prior written consent of Seller, except Buyer may amend, modify, supplement, restate or replace the Financing Commitments, in whole or part, if such amendment, modification, supplement, restatement or replacement (1) does not reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing below the Required Amount, (2) does not impose new or additional conditions, or expand or modify any of the existing conditions, to the consummation of the Financing, (3) is not reasonably expected to hinder, materially delay or prevent the Closing, (4) does not make the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing) less likely to occur in any respect and (5) does not adversely impact the ability of Buyer or Seller to enforce its rights against other parties to the Financing Commitments or the definitive agreements with respect thereto. In the event that all or any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Financing Commitments (including after giving effect to applicable “market flex” provisions), Buyer shall use best efforts to arrange and obtain alternative financing (“ Alternative Financing ”) from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to pay the Required Amount or otherwise replace the unavailable portion of the Financing promptly following the Financing becoming unavailable; provided , however , that in no event shall such Alternative Financing be subject to any new or additional conditions or other contingencies to the receipt or funding of the alternate financing, as compared to the conditions or other contingencies to the receipt or funding of the Financing under the Financing Commitments as in existence as of the date of this Agreement unless approved in writing by Seller. Buyer shall provide Seller with a copy of commitment letters and fee letters (but the fee letter may be redacted as to economic terms) for any Alternative Financing for its review prior to the execution thereof and of fully executed copies as promptly as practicable following the execution thereof. In the event that any Alternative Financing is obtained in accordance with this Section 6.14(a) , references in this Agreement to the Financing shall be deemed to refer to such Alternative Financing (in lieu of the Financing replaced thereby), and if one or more commitment letters, fee letters or definitive financing agreements are entered into or proposed to be entered into in connection with such Alternative Financing, references in this Agreement to the Financing Commitments and definitive financing agreements in respect of the Financing shall be deemed to refer to such commitment letters, fee letters and definitive financing agreements relating to such Alternative Financing, and all obligations of Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.14(a) shall be applicable thereto to the same extent as Buyer’s obligations with respect to the Financing replaced thereby. Buyer shall provide to Seller copies of all documents relating to the Financing reasonably requested by Seller.

    
48



(b)      From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement, Seller agrees, subject to Section 6.2 , to use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide, and cause its respective senior management, agents and representatives to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to provide, such assistance with the Financing as is reasonably requested by Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.14(b) , (i) nothing in this Section 6.14(b) shall require any such cooperation to the extent that it would (A) require Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their representatives, as applicable, to (1) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or agree to pay any commitment or other fees or reimburse any expenses prior to the Closing Date, or incur any liability or give any indemnities, (2) commit to take any similar action that is not contingent upon the Closing Date or (3) adopt or approve resolutions or consents to authorize the execution of any documents for the Financing unless the relevant directors or officers will continue in such positions (or similar positions) after the Closing, and in each case, such documents shall not become effective until the Closing or thereafter, (B) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business or operations of Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or conflict with the other limitations set forth in Section 6.2 , (C) require Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries to take any action that will conflict with or violate any applicable Organizational Documents of Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or any Applicable Laws or result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any Contract which Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries is a party, (D) result in any officer or director of Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries incurring any personal liability with respect to any matters relating to the Financing or (E) require Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries to enter into any financing or purchase agreement for the Financing that would be effective prior to the Closing Date and (ii) no liability or obligation of Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their representatives under any agreement entered into in connection with the Financing shall be effective until the Closing Date.
(c)      Buyer shall, within ten (10) days following written request by Seller, reimburse Seller for all reasonable third-party costs incurred by Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries in connection with such cooperation. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, the Company and any of their Subsidiaries and Affiliates from and against any and all liabilities or losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than historical information provided by Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries). The obligations of Buyer under this Section 6.14(c) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
6.15      Board Observer Rights . As long as the Note is outstanding and Seller or its successors own at least 1% on a fully diluted basis of Buyer’s securities, Buyer shall invite a representative of Seller to attend all meetings of Buyer’s board of directors in a non‑voting observer capacity and, in this respect, shall give such representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials that it provides to its directors at the same time and in the same manner as provided to such directors; provided , however , that such representative shall agree to hold in confidence and trust pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2 , and to act in a fiduciary manner with respect to, all information so provided; provided , further , that Buyer may withhold any information and to exclude such representative from any materials or meeting or portion thereof if access to such information or attendance at such meeting could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between Buyer and its counsel or result in disclosure of trade secrets or other highly confidential information.

From and after the Closing, the indemnification procedures set forth in this Article IX shall represent the sole and exclusive remedy for all claims by the Indemnified Persons in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of any Indemnified Person to specific performance or other equitable remedies.
(c)      In the case of any claims for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the failure of any of the Special Representations to be true and correct as aforesaid or the matters listed in Sections 9.1(a)(iii) , 9.1(a)(iv) , 9.1(a)(v) , 9.1(a)(vi) or 9.1(a)(vii) (collectively, “ Fundamental Claims ”), Seller shall have Liability for the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages resulting therefrom, subject to the limitations herein.

54

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Claims Period for claims for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with matters listed in Section 9.1(a)(vi) or fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful conduct shall not be limited. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the foregoing respective survival periods supersede any applicable statute of limitations that would otherwise apply.

    
55



9.4      Claims.
(a)      During the Claims Period, Buyer may deliver to Seller one or more certificates signed by any officer of Buyer (each, a “ Claim Certificate ”):
(i)      stating that an Indemnified Person has incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, or in good faith believes that it may incur, pay, reserve or accrue, Indemnifiable Damages; provided, that with respect to Indemnifiable Damages related to Sales Taxes, such Indemnified Person has reasonably demonstrated compliance with Section 9.2(f) prior to delivering a Claim Certificate;

(b)      Such Claim Certificate (i) need only specify such information to the knowledge of such officer of Buyer as of the date thereof, (ii) shall not limit any of the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Person with respect to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such Claim Certificate and (iii) may be updated and amended from time to time by Buyer by delivering any updated or amended Claim Certificate, so long as the delivery of the original Claim Certificate is made within the applicable Claims Period and such update or amendment relates to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such original Claims Certificate; provided that all claims for Indemnifiable Damages properly set forth in a Claim Certificate or any update or amendment thereto shall remain outstanding until such claims have been resolved or satisfied, notwithstanding the expiration of such Claims Period. No delay in providing such Claim Certificate within the applicable Claims Period shall affect an Indemnified Person’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) Seller or the Company are materially prejudiced thereby.
9.5      Resolution of Objections to Claims.
(a)      If Seller does not contest, by written notice to Buyer, any claim or claims by Buyer made in any Claim Certificate within the 30-day period following receipt of the Claim Certificate, then the principal amount of the Note shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages corresponding to such claim or claims as set forth in such Claim Certificate; provided, however if the claim or claims set forth in such Claim Certificate relate to the matters listed in Section 9.1(a)(vi) , Seller shall instead pay Seller an amount of cash equal to the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages corresponding to such claim or claims as set forth in such Claim Certificate.
(b)      If Seller objects in writing to any claim or claims by Buyer made in any Claim Certificate within the 30-day period set forth in Section 9.5(a) , Buyer and Seller shall attempt in good faith for 45 days after Buyer’s receipt of such written objection to resolve such objection. If Buyer and Seller shall so agree, a joint written instruction setting forth such agreement shall be prepared, signed by both parties. Upon execution of such instruction by both parties, Buyer shall be entitled to reduce the principal amount of the Note by an amount in accordance with such instruction provided, however if the claim or claims set forth in such Claim Certificate relate to the matters listed in Section 9.1(a)(vi) , Seller shall instead pay Seller an amount of cash in accordance with such instruction. If no such agreement can be reached during the 45-day period for good faith negotiation set forth in Section 9.5(b) , but in any event upon the

    
56



expiration of such 45-day period, either Buyer or Seller may bring an arbitration in accordance with the terms of Section 10.12 to resolve the matter. The decision of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Claim Certificate shall be non-appealable, binding and conclusive upon the parties hereto, and Buyer shall be entitled to reduce the principal amount of the Note by an amount in accordance therewith; provided, however if the claim or claims set forth in such Claim Certificate relate to the matters listed in Section 9.1(a)(vi) , Seller shall instead pay Seller an amount of cash in accordance with such decision.
(c)      Judgment upon any determination of an arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The non-prevailing party to an arbitration shall pay its own fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of the prevailing party, including attorneys’ fees and costs, reasonably incurred in connection with such suit.
9.6      Third-Party Claims . In the event that Buyer becomes aware of a third-party claim or demand (including a threat in writing of such), or is served with a third-party complaint, counterclaim or cross-claim in litigation (collectively, a “ Third-Party Claim ”) that Buyer reasonably believes may result in a claim for indemnification under this Agreement, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in the relevant Claim Certificate (or amendment thereof) of such Third-Party Claim and (subject to any applicable confidentiality or privacy obligations or law) the identity of the person or party asserting such claim or demand; provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except if and to the extent Seller has been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Seller shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the Third-Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any claim of privilege relating to any Indemnified Person, and subject to execution by Seller of Buyer’s (and, if required, such third party’s) standard non-disclosure agreement to the extent that such materials contain confidential or propriety information. Seller, shall, at its sole expense, be entitled to participate in any defense of such Third-Party Claim; provided that Buyer shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine and conduct the defense of any Third-Party Claims. Buyer shall be entitled to settle such Third-Party Claim without the consent of Seller; provided that any settlement of a Third-Party Claim without the consent of Seller shall not be determinative of any indemnification Claim that may be made hereunder resulting from such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if there is a Third-Party claim that if adversely determined would give rise to a right of recovery for Indemnifiable Damages hereunder that is either, (a) not otherwise subject to a settlement or other adjudication that is consented to in writing by Seller or (b) is not otherwise determined to constitute Indemnifiable Damages hereunder, then 50% of any amounts incurred by the Indemnified Persons in defense of such Third-Party Claim, shall be deemed Indemnifiable Damages and shall be borne by the Indemnifying Parties in accordance with this Article VIII and the remaining 50% of such amounts shall be borne by the Indemnified Persons. If there shall be any conflicts between the provisions of this Section 9.6 and Section 6.10(b) (relating to Tax Contests), the provisions of Section 6.10(b) shall control.
9.7      Treatment of Indemnification Payments . Buyer and Seller agree to treat (and cause their respective Affiliates to treat) any payment received by the Indemnified Persons pursuant to this Article IX as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.

SiriusXM to Make $480 Million Strategic Investment in Pandora

Investment to Provide Pandora Capital to Unlock Full Value
NEW YORK and OAKLAND, Calif., June 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM (NASDAQ: SIRI) and Pandora (NYSE: P) today announced an agreement under which SiriusXM will make a $480 million strategic cash investment in Pandora.
Under the terms of the agreement, a subsidiary of SiriusXM will purchase an aggregate of $480 million in newly issued Series A convertible preferred stock of Pandora. SiriusXM purchased $172.5 million of Series A preferred stock upon execution of the agreement and has agreed to purchase the balance of the Series A preferred stock at a second closing. The Series A preferred stock will represent a stake of 19% of Pandora's currently outstanding common stock and a 16% stake on an as-converted basis.
The Series A preferred stock is convertible into common stock at a purchase price of $10.50 per share. The conversion price of the Series A preferred stock is approximately a 14.2% premium to Pandora's volume weighted average price for the 20-day period preceding June 9, 2017. The Series A preferred stock will bear a 6% cumulative dividend, payable in cash, accretion of the Series A preferred stock or a combination thereof.
Through this agreement, SiriusXM is making a strategic investment in the leading U.S. provider of ad-supported digital radio. With a loyal quarterly audience of nearly 100 million listeners in the U.S., Pandora is by far the leading player in the burgeoning digital audio advertising market. The capital provided through the SiriusXM investment will allow Pandora to make targeted investments and capitalize on opportunities to build on its position in the streaming radio business.
Jim Meyer, Chief Executive Officer of SiriusXM, said, "This strategic investment in Pandora represents a unique opportunity for SiriusXM to create value for its stockholders by investing in the leader in the ad-supported digital radio business, a space where SiriusXM does not play today. Pandora's large user base and its ability to provide listeners with a personalized music experience are tremendous assets. With its strong technology and new product offerings, we believe there are exciting opportunities for Pandora to accelerate its growth and increase value for Pandora and SiriusXM stockholders."
"Liberty Media has long recognized the strength of the Pandora brand and the opportunities in the ad-supported digital radio market," said Greg Maffei, Chairman of the SiriusXM Board of



Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Liberty Media Corporation. "We are very supportive of SiriusXM's strategic investment."
When the transaction closes, three individuals designated by SiriusXM will be named to the Pandora Board of Directors. One of those individuals will serve as Chairman and SiriusXM designated directors will serve as select Board committee representatives. With these appointments, the Pandora Board will be expanded to consist of nine directors.
"Pandora's Board and management team are committed to driving stockholder value and have carefully evaluated alternative strategies as part of the process disclosed on May 8," said Tim Leiweke, member of Pandora's Board of Directors. "We are pleased that the conclusion of that process resulted in a major investment by SiriusXM. With this investment, we have the backing of one of the media industry's most successful investors and significant capital to accelerate growth. Pandora is now poised to advance to the next stage of the company's lifecycle. Lastly, this transaction ensures that Pandora stockholders get the benefit of additional capital from an important strategic investor who can help enhance stockholder value."
"The investment from SiriusXM infuses resources to help Pandora continue to grow and innovate," said Pandora CEO and founder Tim Westergren. "With the strategic review behind us, and a strong balance sheet, we look forward to focusing on business execution and the optimization of our strategy."
In connection with the transaction, Pandora agreed with an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis & Roberts to terminate their Investment Agreement announced on May 8, 2017, and pay KKR a termination fee of $22.5 million.
Pandora is required to redeem the Series A preferred stock on the fifth anniversary of the closing for an amount equal to its liquidation preference plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. Pandora can also redeem the Series A preferred stock at any time after the third anniversary of the closing if the daily volume weighted average price of Pandora's common stock is greater than or equal to 175% of the then applicable conversion price for a period of at least 20 days during a 30 day trading window prior to the notice of redemption. 
SiriusXM will be subject to certain standstill restrictions, including, among other things, that it will be restricted from acquiring additional securities of Pandora for 18 months. After that period and for so long as a director designated by it is serving on the Board of Directors, SiriusXM has agreed not to acquire more than 31.5% of Pandora's equity securities without the approval of Pandora's Board of Directors.



The second closing contemplated by the agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including antitrust approval, and is expected to close by the fourth quarter. The agreement may be terminated by either party if closing has not occurred by February 1, 2018.
Additional information relating to the SiriusXM investment may be found in the Form 8-K that will be filed by Pandora with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Allen & Company LLC and BofA Merrill Lynch are serving as financial advisors to SiriusXM and Jones Day and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP are serving as its legal counsel. Centerview Partners LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC are serving as financial advisors to Pandora and Sidley Austin LLP and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz are acting as legal counsel.

Eventbrite Enters into Agreement with Pandora to Acquire Ticketfly

Leading global event technology platform joining forces with music ticketing pioneer Ticketfly to deliver superior technology, ticketing and marketing services to live music market

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - June 09, 2017) - Eventbrite, the world's leading ticketing and event technology platform which powers nearly three million events each year, has entered into an agreement with Pandora (NYSE: P) to acquire Ticketfly, a leading ticketing platform focused on music promoters and venues, for $200 million. Additionally, Eventbrite and Pandora plan to enter into a future distribution agreement to extend the benefits already proven out with the Pandora and Ticketfly integration.

Eventbrite has spent a decade building the largest global platform for live experiences and is on track to process close to 200 million tickets worth $3 billion in gross ticket sales in 180 countries in 2017. Both Eventbrite and Ticketfly have proven themselves to be valuable partners to the live music industry: Eventbrite has ticketed more than 175,000 concerts and music festivals helping them sell more than $1 billion in tickets since inception; and Ticketfly currently works with over 1,800 of the top music promoters and venues across North America, supporting 100,000 events per year which generate $600 million in gross ticket sales. The acquisition brings together Eventbrite's momentum in music, global scale, and expertise in event technology with Ticketfly's marketing excellence and strong track record of success in music.

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and we see immense alignment and opportunity with this union, especially as we continue to expand Eventbrite's global footprint in music," said Julia Hartz, CEO and co-founder of Eventbrite. "Together with Ticketfly, we will focus our collective energy on further developing our unparalleled solution and superior services for indie music venues and promoters around the world."

Ticketfly's co-founder and CEO Andrew Dreskin will lead Eventbrite's music efforts. "We are happy to be joining forces with our friends at Eventbrite," said Dreskin. "Ticketfly and Eventbrite are the two most progressive live events technology companies out there, and together we will create a transformational platform that will be game-changing for independent venues and promoters. We plan to build on the great work that Ticketfly and Pandora have done and offer the benefits of that partnership to Eventbrite's customers, delivering even more live event notifications to Pandora listeners."

"The combination of Ticketfly and Pandora proved our thesis that listeners want easy access to live events, and that we have the ability to promote and sell tickets at scale in a highly targeted way," said Tim Westergren, CEO and founder of Pandora. "We look forward to expanding the opportunity to bring fans and artists together through our continued partnership with Eventbrite and Ticketfly."




The acquisition announcement follows Eventbrite's acquisition earlier this year of leading European ticketing company Ticketscript, and builds upon the tremendous traction the company has experienced in music since the launch of Eventbrite Venue, the first fully integrated booking, operations and ticketing solution for live music venues.

About Eventbrite:
Eventbrite is the world's leading event technology platform. The company has processed more than $8 billion in gross ticket sales since inception and powers nearly three million events each year.

Pandora Strengthens Balance Sheet and Sharpens Focus on Core Priorities

Announces strategic investment from SiriusXM and sale of Ticketfly; Strategic Review Complete
June 09, 2017 09:20 AM Eastern Daylight Time

OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pandora (NYSE: P), the go-to music source for fans and artists, announced two important transactions at the conclusion of the strategic review the company disclosed on May 8, 2017. Driven by a focus on optimizing shareholder value, the company secured an agreement from SiriusXM to make a $480 million investment in the company and announced its sale of Ticketfly to Eventbrite for $200 million. In combination, these transactions arm the company with a strong balance sheet, sharpen operational focus, and strengthen the company’s board of directors.
"This is a very significant juncture in Pandora’s journey,” said Tim Westergren, Pandora’s CEO and founder. “After years of innovation and hard work we now have critical pieces in place: A massive and highly engaged audience, a market-leading digital advertising business, a best-in-class product portfolio, and a robust balance sheet that gives us the flexibility we need to attack what is becoming a larger and larger opportunity as digital music enters a new golden age."
“With a loyal quarterly audience of nearly 100 million Americans, Pandora is a powerhouse in the music ecosystem and by far the leading player in the growing world of digital audio advertising -- a category we believe is becoming increasingly prevalent in a world with young, hyper-mobile, multitasking consumers, and with a proliferation of connected devices with little or no user interface.”
“Pandora is now poised to advance to the next stage of the company’s lifecycle,” said Pandora Director, Tim Leiweke. “We are pleased that the conclusion of our strategic review resulted in a major investment by a world class company like SiriusXM, and with the sale of Ticketfly, we will now redouble our focus on execution supported by a strong balance sheet.”
With its highly successful personalized radio service, Pandora is well positioned to create a hybrid advertising/subscription model that can achieve success where others in the subscription music category may have struggled. Underpinning all of this, of course, Pandora’s offerings remain the gold standard for a truly personalized music listening experience.
Ticketfly Sale Agreement
Pandora also announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement under which Eventbrite will acquire Pandora’s Ticketfly business for $200 million, funded through a combination of $150 million cash and a $50 million note payable to Pandora. In connection with the closing, Pandora and Eventbrite expect to enter into a commercial agreement that allows Pandora to substantially broaden the scale of its ticketing opportunities. Pandora believes that this type of commercial agreement is the best approach to ticketing, leveraging audience scale and targeting while minimizing the operational commitment. We expect to close the Ticketfly transaction in the third quarter of 2017.



Affirming Guidance
Based on information available as of June 8, 2017 the Company is reiterating and affirming the financial guidance provided on the Q1 conference call on May 8, 2017. The guidance indicated that second quarter revenue is expected to be in the range of $360 million to $375 million and Adjusted EBITDA loss is expected to be in the range of $65 million to $50 million. Pandora reiterated that it expects full-year revenue in the range of $1.50 billion to $1.65 billion, prior to any adjustment for the sale of Ticketfly. The reconciliation of our adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP is contained in our Q117 financial results press release from May 8, 2017.
Additional information relating to the SiriusXM investment and the Ticketfly sale may be found in the applicable Form 8-K that will be filed by Pandora with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements regarding expected revenue and adjusted EBITDA. These forward-looking statements are based on Pandora's current assumptions, expectations and beliefs and involve substantial risks and uncertainties that may cause results, performance or achievement to materially differ from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: our operation in an emerging market and our relatively new and evolving business model; our ability to estimate revenue reserves; our ability to increase our listener base and listener hours; our ability to attract and retain advertisers; our ability to generate additional revenue on a cost-effective basis; competitive factors; our ability to continue operating under existing laws and licensing regimes; our ability to enter into and maintain commercially viable direct licenses with record labels for the right to reproduce and publicly perform sound recordings on our service; our ability to establish and maintain relationships with makers of mobile devices, consumer electronic products and automobiles; our ability to manage our growth and geographic expansion; our ability to continue to innovate and keep pace with changes in technology and our competitors; our ability to expand our operations to delivery of non-music content; our ability to protect our intellectual property; risks related to service interruptions or security breaches; and general economic conditions worldwide. Further information on these factors and other risks that may affect the business are included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from time to time, including under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the current period.
The financial information contained in this press release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, each as they may be amended from time to time.
