(F)
Status of Common Stock Issued upon Conversion.

If the Common Stock is then listed on any securities exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer

30


 

quotation system, then the Company will cause each share of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Note, when delivered, to be admitted for listing on such exchange or quotation on such system. Any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Note, if such shares of Common Stock are Freely Tradeable at the time (and, in the case of shares delivered upon conversion while this Note bears a restricted legend, such shares are resold pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement), will be issued in the form of book-entries at the facilities of DTC or, otherwise, will be issued in the form of book-entries on the records of the Transfer Agent.

(G)
Adjustments to the Conversion Rate.
(i)
Events Requiring an Adjustment to the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate will be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(1)
Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Stock (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 7(I) will apply), then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

img12711041_0.jpg

 

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately before the Open of Business on the effective date of such stock split or stock combination, as applicable;

 

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or the Open of Business on such effective date, as applicable;

 

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, without giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination; and

 

31


 

OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination.

 

If any dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination of the type described in this Section 7(G)(i)(1) is declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Rate will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such stock split or stock combination, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination not been declared or announced.

 

(2)
Rights, Options and Warrants. If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, rights, Options or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which the provisions set forth in Sections 7(G)(i)(3)(a) and 7(G)(vii) will apply) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the record date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then the Conversion Rate will be increased (and for the avoidance of doubt shall never be decreased) based on the following formula:

img12711041_1.jpg

 

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

 

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

 

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

 

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

 

Y = a number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, Options or warrants by (y) the average of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive Trading

32


 

Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced.

 

For purposes of this Section 7(G)(i)(2), in determining whether any rights, Options or warrants entitle holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date the distribution of such rights, Options or warrants is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, Options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, Options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.

 

(3)
Spin-Offs and Other Distributed Property.
(a)
Distributions Other than Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company, or rights, Options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock of the Company or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:

(v) dividends, distributions, rights, Options or warrants for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 7(G)(i)(1) or Section 7(G)(i)(2);

 

(w) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 7(G)(i)(4);

 

(x) rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, except to the extent provided in Section 7(G)(vii);

 

(y) Spin-Offs for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 7(G)(i)(3)(b); and

 

(z) a distribution solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 7(I) will apply,

 

then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

img12711041_2.jpg

 

33


 

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

 

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

 

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

 

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

 

provided, however, that if FMV is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, the Holder will receive, for each $1,000 Principal Amount of this Note held by this Holder on the record date for such distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount and kind of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, Options or warrants that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.

 

 

(b)
Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes or dividends shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to an Affiliate, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 7(I) will apply), and such Capital Stock or equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

img12711041_3.jpg

 

where:

34


 

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off;

 

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

 

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

 

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

 

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 7(G)(i)(3)(b) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off, with retroactive effect. If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the first (1st) Business Day after the last day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period on which the Common Stock is traded).

 

(4)
Cash Dividends or Distributions. If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

img12711041_4.jpg

 

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

 

35


 

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

 

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

 

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

 

provided, however, that if D is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, the Holder will receive, for each $1,000 Principal Amount of this Note held by the Holder on the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.

 

(5)
Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act), and the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors in good faith) of the cash and other consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

img12711041_5.jpg

 

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the time (the “Expiration Time”) such tender or exchange offer expires;

 

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Expiration Time;

 

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

 

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Expiration Time (including all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

36


 

 

OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (excluding all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

 

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

 

provided, however, that the Conversion Rate will in no event be adjusted down pursuant to this Section 7(G)(i)(5), except to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph. The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 7(G)(i)(5) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Expiration Time, with retroactive effect. If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date occurs on the Expiration Date or during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the first (1st) Business Day after the last day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period.

(iii)
[Reserved.]
(iv)
No Adjustments in Certain Cases.
(1)
Where the Holder Participates in the Transaction or Event Without Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7(G)(i), the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of a transaction or other event otherwise requiring an adjustment pursuant to Section 7(G)(i) (other than a stock split or combination of the type set forth in Section 7(G)(i)(1) or a tender or exchange offer of the type set forth in Section 7(G)(i)(5)) if the Holder participates, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and solely by virtue of being the Holder of this Note, in such transaction or event without having to convert this Note and as if the Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on the related record date; and (ii) the aggregate Principal Amount (expressed in thousands) of this Note held by this Holder on such date.
(2)
Certain Events. The Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate except as provided in Section 7(G) and Section 7(I). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of:
(a)
except as otherwise provided in Section 7(G), the sale of

37


 

shares of Common Stock for a purchase price that is less than the market price per share of Common Stock or less than the Conversion Price;
(b)
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 the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any such plan;
(c)
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock, restricted stock or options or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock 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;
(d)
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or convertible or exchangeable security of the Company outstanding as of the Issue Date (other than an adjustment pursuant to Section 7(G)(i)(3)(a) in connection with the separation of rights under the Company’s stockholder rights plan existing, if any, as of the Issue Date);
(e)
repurchases of shares of Common Stock, including structured or derivative transactions, that are not pursuant to a tender offer as contemplated by Section 7(G)(i)(5);
(f)
solely a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or
(g)
accrued and unpaid interest on this Note.
(v)
Adjustments Not Yet Effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, if:
(1)
this Note is to be converted;
(2)
the record date, effective date or Expiration Time for any event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7(G)(i) has occurred on or before the Conversion Date for such conversion, but an adjustment to the Conversion Rate for such event has not yet become effective as of such Conversion Date;
(3)
the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole shares of Common Stock; and
(4)
such shares are not entitled to participate in such event (because they were not held on the related record date or otherwise),

then, solely for purposes of such conversion, the Company will, without duplication, give effect to such adjustment on such Conversion Date. In such case, if the date on which the Company is otherwise required to deliver the consideration due upon such conversion is before the first date on which the amount of such adjustment can be determined, then the

38


 

Company will delay the settlement of such conversion until the first (1st) Business Day after such first date.

 

(vi)
Conversion Rate Adjustments where the Converting Holder Participates in the Relevant Transaction or Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, if:
(1)
a Conversion Rate adjustment for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date pursuant to Section 7(G)(i);
(2)
a Note is to be converted;
(3)
the Conversion Date for such conversion occurs on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or before the related record date;
(4)
the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole shares of Common Stock based on a Conversion Rate that is adjusted for such dividend or distribution; and
(5)
such shares would be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution (including pursuant to Section 7(C)(ii)),

then (x) such Conversion Rate adjustment will not be given effect for such conversion; (y) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion based on such unadjusted Conversion Rate will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution; and (z) there will be added, to the Conversion Consideration otherwise due upon such conversion, the same kind and amount of consideration that would have been delivered in such dividend or distribution with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares been entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.

 

(vii)
Stockholder Rights Plans. If any shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion of any Note and, at the time of such conversion, the Company has in effect any stockholder rights plan, then the Holder of such Note will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the Conversion Consideration otherwise payable under this Note upon such conversion, the rights set forth in such stockholder rights plan, unless such rights have separated from the Common Stock at such time, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted pursuant to Section 7(G)(i)(3)(a) on account of such separation as if, at the time of such separation, the Company had made a distribution of the type referred to in such Section to all holders of the Common Stock, subject to readjustment in accordance with such Section if such rights expire, terminate or are redeemed.
(viii)
Limitation on Effecting Transactions Resulting in Certain Adjustments. The Company will not engage in or be a party to any transaction or event that would require the Conversion Rate to be adjusted pursuant to Section 7(G)(i) or Section 7(I) to an amount that would result in the Conversion Price per share of Common Stock being less than the par value per share of Common Stock.

39


 

(ix)
Equitable Adjustments to Prices. Whenever any provision of this Note requires the Company to calculate the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate an adjustment to the Conversion Rate), the Company will make proportionate adjustments, if any, to such calculations to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7(G)(i) that becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period.
(x)
Calculation of Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 7(G), the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time will (i) include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock; and (ii) exclude shares of Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury (unless the Company pays any dividend or makes any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in its treasury).
(xi)
Calculations. All calculations with respect to the Conversion Rate and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward).
(xii)
Notice of Conversion Rate Adjustments. Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7(G)(i), the Company will promptly send notice to the Holder containing (i) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (iii) the effective time of such adjustment.
(H)
Voluntary Adjustments.
(i)
Generally. To the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange rules, the Company, from time to time, may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate on any portion of this Note for any period of time by any amount if (i) the Board of Directors determines in good faith that such increase is either (x) in the best interest of the Company; or (y) advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax imposed on holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock as a result of any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) of Common Stock or any similar event and (ii) such increase is irrevocable during such period. The Company and the Holder agree that any such voluntary adjustment to the Conversion Rate and any conversion of any portion of the Note based upon any such voluntary adjustment shall not constitute material non-public information with respect to the Company.
(ii)
Notice of Voluntary Increases. If the Board of Directors determines to increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7(H)(i), then, no later than the first Business Day following such determination, the Company will send notice to the Holder of such increase, the amount thereof and the period during which such increase will be in effect.
(I)
Effect of Certain Recapitalizations, Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers and

40


 

Sales.
(i)
Generally. If there occurs any:
(1)
recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value and (z) stock splits and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities);
(2)
consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Company;
(3)
sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person; or
(4)
other similar event,

and, in each case, as a result of such occurrence, the Common Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities or other property (including cash or any combination of the foregoing) (such an event, a “Common Stock Change Event,” and such other securities or other property, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Common Stock Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue fractional shares of securities or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, at the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, (x) the Conversion Consideration due pursuant to any Note will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in this Section 7 (or in any related definitions) were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; (y) for purposes of Section 7(A), each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in such Section (or in any related definitions) will instead be deemed to be a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; and (z) for purposes of the definition of “Fundamental Change,” the term “ Common Stock” and “common equity” will be deemed to mean the common equity, if any, forming part of such Reference Property. For these purposes, (I) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that consists of a class of common equity securities will be determined by reference to the definition of “Daily VWAP,” substituting, if applicable, the Bloomberg page for such class of securities in such definition; and (II) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of common equity securities, and the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities, will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).

 

If the Reference Property consists of more than a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, then the composition of

41


 

the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received, per share of Common Stock, by the holders of Common Stock. The Company will notify the Holder of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

 

At or before the effective date of such Common Stock Change Event, the Company and the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Company) of such Common Stock Change Event (the “Successor Person”) will execute and deliver such instruments or agreements that (x) provides for subsequent conversions of this Note in the manner set forth in this Section 7(I); (y) provides for subsequent adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7(G) or Section 7(H) in a manner consistent with this Section 7(I); and (z) contains such other provisions as the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holder and to give effect to the provisions of this Section 7(I). If the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets of a Person other than the Successor Person, then such other Person will also execute such instruments or agreements and such instruments or agreements will contain such additional provisions the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holder.

 

(ii)
Notice of Common Stock Change Events. As soon as practicable after public announcement of the anticipated or actual effective date of any Common Stock Change Event, the Company will provide written notice to the Holder of such Common Stock Change Event, including a brief description of such Common Stock Change Event, its anticipated effective date and a brief description of the anticipated change in the conversion right of this Note.
(iii)
Compliance Covenant. The Company will not become a party to any Common Stock Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 7(I).
(J)
Limitations on Conversions.

(i) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of this Note, or otherwise issue shares pursuant to this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note and any such conversion or issuance shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or issuance, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in the aggregate in excess of 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or issuance. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of, or otherwise pursuant to, this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any

42


 

of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 7(J)(i). For purposes of this Section 7(J)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Note, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire in connection with this Note without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives a notice from the Holder related to the conversion of this Note or any issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection with this Note at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such conversion or issuance of shares of Common Stock would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 7(J)(i), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the prior Business Day. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion of, or otherwise pursuant to, this Note results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder's and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any Other Holder of Notes that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned

43


 

by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to convert this Note or receive shares pursuant to this Note pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 7(J)(i) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 7(J)(i) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

Section 8.
Affirmative and Negative Covenants.
(A)
Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. To the extent that it may lawfully do so, the Company (A) agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law (wherever or whenever enacted or in force) that may affect the covenants or the performance of the Transaction Documents; and (B) expressly waives all benefits or advantages of any such law and agrees that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Holder by the Transaction Documents, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.
(B)
Corporate Existence. Subject to Section 9, the Company will cause to preserve and keep in full force and effect:
(i)
its corporate existence and the corporate existence of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the organizational documents of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable; and
(ii)
the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries;

provided, however, that the Company need not preserve or keep in full force and effect any such rights (charter and statutory), license or franchise or existence of any of its Subsidiaries if the Board of Directors determines in good faith that (x) the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and (y) the loss thereof is not, individually or in the aggregate, materially adverse to the Holder.

(C)
Ranking. All payments due under this Note shall rank pari passu in right of payment with all senior indebtedness of the Company and senior to any Subordinated Indebtedness in right of payment.
(D)
Indebtedness; Amendments to Indebtedness. The Company shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to: (a) create, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable with respect to any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness; (b) prepay any Indebtedness except (i) by the conversion of Indebtedness into equity securities (other than Disqualified Stock), (ii) the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares in connection with such conversion, (iii) prepayments

44


 

of the GEM Mandatory Security, the LamVen Note and the PFG Facility as set forth therein, and, in each case, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, (iv) prepayments with respect to the KORE Facility in the ordinary course of business and (v) prepayments of accounts payable in the ordinary course of business; or (c) amend or modify any documents or notes evidencing any Indebtedness in a manner materially adverse to the Holder without the consent of the Required Holders (it being understood that each of the following actions shall be considered materially adverse to the Holder: (i) any increase in the principal amount of such Indebtedness (other than an increase in Modified LamVen Note not in excess of the cap set forth in clause (E) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”), (ii) any increase in the interest rate applicable to such Indebtedness (other than the institution of any default rate interest applicable thereto), (iii) any shortening of the maturity of such Indebtedness, (iv) any addition of new amortization payments or increase of existing amortization payments of such Indebtedness, (v) any increase in the scope of collateral securing such Indebtedness, (vi) any change to the lien priority or subordination of such Indebtedness or (vii) the inclusion of any new mandatory prepayment that could lead to such Indebtedness becoming due before the Maturity Date of this Note); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be permitted to (i) amend the Modified LamVen Note to increase the principal amount thereof to the extent otherwise permitted by the terms of this Note and (ii) make amendments to Indebtedness described in clause (K) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”. The Company shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to incur any Indebtedness that would cause a breach or Default under the Notes or prohibit or restrict the performance of any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations under the Notes, including without limitation, the payment of interest and principal thereon.
(E)
Liens. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume, permit or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.
(F)
Investments. The Company shall not directly or indirectly acquire or own, or make any Investment in or to any Person, or permit any of its Subsidiaries so to do, other than Permitted Investments; provided that the Company may not make any Investment (including a Permitted Investment) or permit any of its Subsidiaries to make any Investment (including a Permitted Investment) if (i) any Event of Default has occurred hereunder and has not been waived by the Required Holders or (ii) any event or circumstance has occurred and is continuing which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, could constitute an Event of Default with respect to Section 10(A)(ii), Section 10(A)(iii), Section 10(A)(iv), Section 10(A)(v), Section 10(A)(vii), Section 10(A)(x), Section 10(A)(xii), Section 10(A)(xiv) or Section 10(A)(xvii).
(G)
Distributions. The Company shall not, and shall not allow any Subsidiary to, (a) repurchase or redeem any class of stock or other Equity Interest other than pursuant to employee, director or consultant repurchase plans or other similar agreements provided under plans approved by the Board of Directors; provided, however, in each case the repurchase or redemption price does not exceed the original consideration paid for such stock or Equity Interest, or (b) declare or pay any cash dividend or make a cash distribution on any class of stock or other Equity Interest, except that a Subsidiary of the Company may pay dividends or make distributions to the Company or a parent company that is a direct or indirect Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company, or (c) lend money to any employees, officers or directors (except as permitted under clause (F) of the definition of Permitted Investment), or guarantee the payment of any such loans granted by a third

45


 

party in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in the aggregate or (d) waive, release or forgive any Indebtedness owed by any employees, officers or directors in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in the aggregate. If there are dividends or distributions made by the Company or any Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary of the Company paying dividends or making distributions to the Company or a parent company that is a direct or indirect Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company the assets of which are subject to a Lien in favor of the Holder pursuant to the Security Agreements), within one (1) Business Day following the date on which the Company files an Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Commission, the Company will provide the Holder with a written notice setting forth the aggregate amount of dividends or distributions made by the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to this Section 8(G) for the period covered by such Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not, and shall not allow any Subsidiary to, declare or pay any cash dividend or make a cash distribution on any class of stock or other Equity Interest if (A) any Event of Default has occurred hereunder and has not been waived by the Required Holders or (B) any event or circumstance has occurred and is continuing which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, could constitute an Event of Default with respect to Section 10(A)(ii), Section 10(A)(iii), Section 10(A)(iv), Section 10(A)(v), Section 10(A)(vii), Section 10(A)(x), Section 10(A)(xii), Section 10(A)(xiv) or Section 10(A)(xvii), other than a Subsidiary of the Company paying dividends or making distributions to the Company or a parent company that is a direct or indirect Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company, the assets of which are subject to a Lien in favor of the Holder pursuant to the Security Agreement.

(K)
Change in Nature of Business. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, engage in any material line of business substantially different from those lines of business conducted by or publicly contemplated to be conducted by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries on the Issue Date or any business substantially related or incidental thereto.
(L)

(P)
Restricted Issuances. The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, (i) issue any Notes (other than as contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Notes) or (ii) issue any other securities or incur any Indebtedness, in each case, that would cause a breach or Default under the Notes or that by its terms would prohibit or restrict the performance of any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations under the Notes, including, without limitation, the payment of principal thereon.
(Q)
Share Reserve. Upon the issuance of the Note, the Company shall have initially reserved and maintained no fewer than sixty million (60,000,000) shares of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock for issuance upon (i) the conversion of the Note, all Other Notes, and, if applicable, the New Note, and (ii) the exercise of any warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Required Reserve Amount”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Required Reserve Amount shall not be decreased at any time, except in connection with a stock combination, reverse stock split, or other similar corporate action resulting in a proportional adjustment to the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Transaction Documents, in the case of

48


 

an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain stockholder approval (if required) of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting the management shares of the Company in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount.

The Company agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Holder based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Holder in connection with the Note. The Company acknowledges that the Holder shall have no obligation to (a) maintain the confidentiality of any information provided by the Company or (b) refrain from trading any securities while in possession of such information in the absence of a written non-disclosure agreement signed by an officer of the Holder that explicitly provides for such confidentiality and trading restrictions. In the absence of such an executed, written non-disclosure agreement, the Company acknowledges that the Holder may freely trade in any securities issued by the Company, may possess and use any information provided by the Company in connection with such trading activity, and may disclose any such information to any third party.

If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall notify the Company and surrender this Note to the Company (or provide the Company an affidavit in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company that this Note was lost, stolen or destroyed), whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note, registered as the Holder may request.
Section 9.
Successors.

The Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or (directly, or indirectly through one or more of its Subsidiaries) sell, lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person, other than the Holder or any of its Affiliates (a “Business Combination Event”), unless:

(A)
the resulting, surviving or transferee Person either (x) is the Company or (y) if not the Company, is a corporation (the “Successor Corporation”) duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that expressly assumes (by executing and delivering to the Holder, at or before the effective time of such Business Combination Event, a supplement to this instrument) all of the Company’s obligations under the Transaction Documents; and
(B)
immediately after giving effect to such Business Combination Event, no Event of Default will have occurred that has not been waived and no Default will have occurred and be continuing which has not been waived.

At the effective time of any Business Combination Event, the Successor Corporation (if not the Company) will succeed to, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under

(ii)
Optional Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default set forth in Section 10(A)(xix) or Section 10(A)(xx)) occurs and has not been waived by the Holder, then the Holder, by notice to the Company and Park Lane (each such notice, an “Event of Default Redemption Notice”), may declare this Note (or any portion thereof) to become due and payable on the Business Day immediately following the date of such notice for cash in an amount equal to the Event of Default Acceleration Amount.
(iii)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, solely to the extent that any Event of Default shall have occurred that has not been waived and the Holder has not received the payment in full of the Event of Default Acceleration Amount pursuant to an Event of Default Redemption Notice nor has Park Lane purchased this Note in whole pursuant to the terms of Section 10(B)(iv), the Holder may direct the Collateral Agent to (I) (x) if on or after the third Business Day after delivery of an Event of Default Redemption Notice (other than in connection with an Event of Default occurring under Section 10(A)(iii), for which no such three (3) Business Days’ period shall be required) the Holder has neither received from the Company the Event of Default Acceleration Amount nor has the Holder received from Park Lane a Notice of Purchase pursuant to the terms of Section 10(B)(iv)

prior to such third Business Day, or (y) if Park Lane has delivered to the Holder a Notice of Purchase pursuant Section 10(B)(iv) prior to the date that is three (3) Business Days after delivery of an Event of Default Redemption Notice (other than in connection with an Event of Default occurring under Section 10(A)(iii), for which no such three (3) Business Days’ period shall be required) and Park Lane has not consummated the purchase of this Note on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after the delivery of the Event of Default Redemption Notice, draw on the Closing Date Letter of Credit up to the remaining L/C Availability thereunder, solely in order to apply, and the Company hereby authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to apply, and Collateral Agent shall apply, such amounts drawn in respect of the Closing Date Letter of Credit to any amount then due and payable by the Company of the Event of Default Acceleration Amount pursuant to such Event of Default Redemption Notice and all costs and expenses set forth in Section 20 hereof in connection with the enforcement of, this Note, all without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company, and (II) exercise any and all rights and remedies provided to Collateral Agent or the Holder under this Note or any Security Document and/or at law or equity, including any and all rights and remedies available under the UCC, if applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note or the other Transaction Documents, any amounts received by or on behalf of the Holder or the Collateral Agent in connection with any exercise of remedies in connection herewith, shall be applied to the amounts outstanding under this Note and reduce the amount of the obligations hereunder, and any such amounts in excess of the obligations hereunder shall be paid to the Company or its designee.
(iv)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) after the Holder has delivered an Event of Default Redemption Notice and prior to the date three (3) Business Days thereafter and so long as the Holder has not received the payment in full of the Event of Default Acceleration Amount pursuant to such Event of Default Redemption Notice on or prior to such date, Park Lane may deliver a written notice to the Holder (a “Notice of Purchase”) indicating Park Lane’s intent to purchase any remaining portion of this Note in whole, but not in part, on a date, to be specified in such Notice of Purchase, no later than the fifth Business Day after the applicable Event of Default Redemption Notice was given, and (y) after delivery of a Notice of Purchase, Park Lane may effect such purchase by paying Holder in accordance with the terms of the applicable Event of Default Redemption Notice, on the date specified in the Notice of Purchase, cash in an amount equal to any unpaid Event of Default Acceleration Amount as of such date of determination; and Company hereby consents to such transfer. Park Lane shall be a third party beneficiary of this paragraph.
(C)
Notice of Events of Default. Promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after an Event of Default, the Company will provide written notice of such Event of Default to the Holder (an “Event of Default Notice”), which Event of Default Notice shall include (i) a reasonable description of the applicable Event of Default, (ii) the date on which the Event of Default occurred and (iii) the date on which the Default underlying such Event of Default initially occurred, if different than the date on which the Event of Default occurred.
(D)
Default Interest. If an Event of Default occurs, then in each case, to the extent lawful, interest (“Default Interest”) will automatically accrue on the Principal Amount outstanding as of the date of such Event of Default at a rate per annum equal to fifteen percent

56


 

(15.00%), from, and including, the date of such Event of Default to, but excluding, the date such Event of Default is waived and all outstanding Default Interest under this Note has been paid. Default Interest hereunder will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and will be payable in arrears on the earlier of (i) the first day of each calendar month, (ii) the date such Event of Default is waived, (iii) the date on which any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note is reduced or otherwise retired (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, Conversion Settlement Date, Partial Redemption Date or any date that an Event of Default Acceleration Amount or Cash Sweep Payment is paid by the Company to the Holder), and (iv) the Maturity Date.
