ii. The Conversion Price in effect on an IPO Conversion Date (as defined below) in connection with a mandatory conversion pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii) shall be the lesser of (A) $12.00 or (B) the product equal to the price per share of Common Stock sold in the Company’s IPO, multiplied by 70%.
c) Adjustments to Conversion Price.
i. In the event the Company (i) makes a distribution or distributions on shares of Common Stock payable in Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of interest on, the Notes), (ii) subdivides outstanding Common Stock into a larger number of Common Stock, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse split) outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of Common Stock or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of Common Stock, any Common Stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of members entitled to receive such distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
ii. If at any time or from time to time after the issuance date of this Note there shall be a capital reorganization of the Company (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends or distributions, or a reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation where the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting securities prior to such merger or consolidation do not own over fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the merged or consolidated entity, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets to any other person (an “Organic Change”), then as a part of such Organic Change an appropriate revision to the conversion price shall be made if necessary and provision shall be made if necessary (by adjustments of the conversion price or otherwise) so that, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, in lieu of Conversion Shares, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property of the Company or any successor corporation resulting from the Organic Change. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of Section 4(a) with respect to the rights of the Holder after the Organic Change to the end that the provisions of Section 4(a) (including any adjustment in the conversion price then in effect and the number of shares of stock or other securities deliverable upon conversion of this Note) shall be applied after that event in as nearly an equivalent manner as may be practicable.
| 4 |
d) Mechanics of Conversion.
i. Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Accreted Value by (y) the Conversion Price.
ii. Mechanics of Voluntary Conversion. In connection with a conversion by the Company pursuant to Section 4(a)(i), the Company shall provide Holder the Notice of Conversion in accordance with Section 4(a)(i). Upon receipt of the notice from the Company, this Note shall automatically, and without any further action on the part of the Holder and whether or not the Note is surrendered to the Company, be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price specified in Section 4(b)(i) above. The Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless this Note is either delivered to the Company or the Holder notifies the Company that this Note been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such loss, theft or destruction. Upon receipt by the Company of this Note or an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such loss, theft or destruction, the Company at its expense shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such Holder, or to the nominee or nominees of such Holder, a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been upon the date specified in the Notice of Conversion, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock as of such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Company may credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at custodian system.
ii. Mechanics of Mandatory Conversion. Upon a mandatory conversion pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii), the Accreted Value shall automatically, and without any further action on the part of the Holder and whether or not the Note is surrendered to the Company, be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price specified in Section 4(b)(ii) above on the consummation of the IPO (the “IPO Conversion Date” and together with the Voluntary Conversion Date, the “Conversion Date”). The Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such mandatory conversion unless this Note is either delivered to the Company or the Holder notifies the Company that this Note been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such loss, theft or destruction. Upon receipt by the Company of this Note or an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such loss, theft or destruction, the Company at its expense shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such Holder, or to the nominee or nominees of such Holder, a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been upon the completion of the IPO, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Company may credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at custodian system.
| 5 |
iv. Failure to Deliver Certificates. Except in the case of a mandatory conversion in connection with Section 4(a)(ii), in the case a Notice of Conversion is issued by the Holder to the Company, and such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Note delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Notice of Conversion.
v. Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default (as defined below) pursuant to Section 6 hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
| 6 |
vi. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion at IPO. Subject to Sections 4(d)(i) and (ii), in addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Sections 4(d)(i) and (ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock, to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Sections 4(d)(i) and (ii). For example, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
vii. Fractional Common Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share of Common Stock.
Section 5. Negative Covenants.
Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedules and exhibits thereto attached to the Purchase Agreement, as long as at least thirty-three percent (33%) of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement remains outstanding, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:
| 7 |
a) amend its charter documents, including, without limitation, its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, in any manner that materially and adversely affects any rights of the Holder;
b) pay cash dividends or distributions on any equity securities of the Company;
c) enter into any transaction with any Affiliate of the Company which would be required to be disclosed in any public filing with the Commission, unless such transaction is made on an arm’s-length basis and expressly approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company (even if less than a quorum otherwise required for board approval); or
d) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
Section 6. Events of Default.
a) “Event of Default” means, wherever used herein, any of the following events (whatever the reason for such event and whether such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):
i. any default in the payment of (A) the principal amount of any Note or (B) interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing to a Holder on any Note, as and when the same shall become due and payable (whether on a Conversion Date or the Maturity Date or by acceleration or otherwise) which default, solely in the case of an interest payment or other default under clause (B) above, is not cured within fifteen (15) Trading Days;
ii. the Company shall fail to observe or perform any other material covenant or agreement contained in the Notes which failure is not cured, if possible to cure, within the earlier to occur of (A) fifteen (15) Trading Days after notice of such failure sent by the Holder or by any other Holder to the Company and thirty (30) Trading Days after receipt of written notice thereof;
iii. any material representation or warranty made in this Note or any other Transaction Documents shall be untrue or incorrect in any material respect as of the date when made that would cause a Material Adverse Effect;
iv. the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (as such term is defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X) shall be subject to a bankruptcy event; or
v. following the date the Company initially becomes a reporting company pursuant to the Exchange Act and its shares of Common Stock are listed on a Trading Market, the Common Stock shall subsequently not be eligible for listing or quotation for trading on a Trading Market and shall not be eligible to resume listing or quotation for trading thereon within ten (10) Trading Days.
| 8 |
b) Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing before the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus liquidated damages, interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash. Commencing fifteen (15) Trading Days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, the Principal Amount on this Note shall increase twenty percent (20%). Upon the payment in full, the Holder shall promptly surrender this Note to or as directed by the Company. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the Note until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section 6(b). No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. If this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or the Holder otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under this Note or to enforce the provisions of this Note the Company shall be obligated and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with such collection, enforcement or action.
