Section 2.5           Payments. All payments by the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim. Payments of any amounts due to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on such date that any such payment is due, at such bank or places as the Lenders shall from time to time designate in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date such payment is due. The Borrower shall pay all and any costs (administrative or otherwise) imposed by banks, clearing houses, or any other financial institution, in connection with making any payments under any of the Loan Documents, except for any costs imposed by the Lenders’ banking institutions.







Section 2.6           Taxes.







(a)         Any and all payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with this Section 2.6, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes except as required by applicable law. If Borrower (or another applicable Credit Party) shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document and such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, (i) the sum payable hereunder or thereunder shall be increased by as much as shall be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.6(a)), each Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made (any and all such additional amounts payable shall hereafter be referred to as the “Additional Amounts”), (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of such Taxes, Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Lender.







(b)         Borrower agrees to pay and authorizes each Lender to pay in its name (but without duplication), all Other Taxes. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Other Taxes, Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Lender.

(c)         Without duplication of Section 2.6(a) or Section 2.6(b), Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify, within ten (10) days after receipt of demand therefor, each Lender for all Indemnified Taxes (including all Indemnified Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.6(c)) paid by such Lender, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of the applicable Lender(s) setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.







(d)         If any Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.6 (including by the payment of Additional Amounts), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (d) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (d), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (d) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.







(e)         If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax under FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower or its designated agent at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or its designated agent such U.S. tax forms and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or its agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or its agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.







Section 2.7           Fee and Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Equity Agreement, the Credit Parties (excluding Tribute prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement), jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Lenders for reasonable, documented expenses for attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lenders in connection with their due diligence, negotiation and documentation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and all amendments and modifications thereto, whether or not consummated; provided that Credit Parties’ obligation to reimburse Lenders for such fees and expenses in connection with the negotiation, documentation and closing of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not exceed the aggregate amount of $300,000. At Lender’s election, such reimbursed amounts may be deducted from the Initial Loans.


 



15

Interest shall be paid quarterly in arrears commencing on October 1, 2015 and on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October thereafter (each, an “Interest Payment Date”).

Parent has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock a sufficient number of Common Shares to issue the Conversion Shares, free and clear of all encumbrances and restrictions, except for restrictions on transfer set forth in the Loan Documents or imposed by applicable securities laws and except for those created by the Lenders. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Lender in this Agreement, the Securities will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. Parent shall, so long as any of the Conversion Notes are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued capital stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Conversion Notes, the number of Common Shares issuable upon such conversion and/or exercise (without taking into account any limitations on the conversion of the Conversion Notes as set forth therein). There are no preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any restriction upon the voting or transfer of any Common Shares pursuant to Parent’s Organizational Documents or any agreement to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is bound and all of the foregoing rights have been fully waived in respect of the issuance of the Notes and the Conversion Shares.

23







(w)        The issuance of the Notes and the Conversion Shares will not obligate Parent to issue Common Shares or other securities to any Person (other than the Lenders) and will not result in a right of any holder of Parent securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price or other right under any of such securities. There are no stockholders’ agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Borrower’s capital stock to which Parent is a party or, to Parent’s knowledge, between or among any of Parent’s stockholders.







(x)         Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Lenders set forth in Section 3.3 of this Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities and the Acquisition Notes by the Borrower or the Parent, as applicable, to the Lenders under the Loan Documents. The issuance and sale of the Securities and the Acquisition Notes hereunder complies and will comply in all material respect with and does not and will not contravene the rules and regulations of the Principal Trading Markets.

Parent and Borrower shall conduct their business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

From and after the Initial Funding Date, Parent will be in compliance with all listing and maintenance requirements of the Principal Trading Markets.







(bb)      Neither Parent nor, to Parent’s knowledge, any person acting on behalf of Parent, has offered or sold any of the Securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising.


 



24







(cc)       Each Credit Party is in compliance in all material respects with all of the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which are applicable to it. Each Credit Party other than Parent and Borrower has, and as of the Initial Funding Date Parent shall have established disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) for it and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by it in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Each Credit Party’s other than Borrower’s and Parent’s certifying officers have, and as of the Initial Funding Date Parent’s certifying officers shall have evaluated the effectiveness of the its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). Each Credit Party presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in Parent’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting.







(dd)      In the case of a Credit Party incorporated in Ireland, for the purposes of The Council of the European Union Regulation No. 1346/2000 on Insolvency Proceedings (the “Regulation”), its centre of main interest (as that term is used in Article 3(1) of the Regulation) is situated in Ireland and it does not have an establishment (as that term is used in Article 2(h) of the Regulation) outside of Ireland.







(ee)       The entry into by a Credit Party of the Transactions and the Loan Documents and the performance of its obligations thereunder will not breach the provisions of section 82 of the Companies Act 2014 of Ireland.

Each Credit Party acknowledges that it has made the representations and warranties referred to in Section 3.1 with the intention of persuading the Lenders to enter into the Loan Documents and that the Lenders have entered into the Loan Documents on the basis of, and in full reliance on, each of such representations and warranties, each of which shall survive the execution of this Agreement until the Obligations are paid in full and each representation or warranty related to the Conversion Shares shall be deemed to be continuously made at all times until the Obligations are paid in full.

(a)         Such Lender is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation.







(b)         Each Loan Document to which it is a party has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Lender and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of such Lender, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) applicable equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).







(c)         Such Lender has full power and authority to make the Loans and to enter into and perform its other obligations under each of the Loan Documents and carry out the other transactions contemplated thereby.







(d)         Each of the Conversion Notes and Conversion Shares to be received by such Lender hereunder will be acquired for such Lender’s own account, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act, and such Lender has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act without prejudice, however, to such Lender’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Lender to hold the Securities for any period of time and such Lender reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act.







(e)         Such Lender can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its investment in the Securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment contemplated hereby.







(f)          Such Lender understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from Parent in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.







(g)         Such Lender is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

ARTICLE 5







PARTICULAR COVENANTS AND EVENTS OF DEFAULT







Section 5.1           Affirmative Covenants. Unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree:







(i)            Parent shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to maintain their existence and qualify and remain qualified to do their business as currently conducted, except for any merger or dissolution of a Subsidiary in accordance with Section 5.2(i) or where the failure to maintain such qualification would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.







(ii)            Parent shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws.







(iii)           Parent shall obtain and shall cause its Subsidiaries to make and keep in full force and effect all Authorizations.







(iv)           Parent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the occurrence of (i) any Default or Event of Default and (ii) any claims, litigation, arbitration, mediation or administrative or regulatory proceedings that are instituted or threatened against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries concurrently with any public disclosure of any such event, and (iii) each event which, at the giving of notice, lapse of time, determination of materiality or fulfillment of any other applicable condition (or any combination of the foregoing), would constitute an event of default (however described) under any Loan Document.







(v)           Each Credit Party will timely file with the SEC (subject to appropriate extensions made under Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act) any annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (“SEC Reports”).







(vi)          Parent shall, so long as any of the Conversion Notes are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued capital stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Conversion Notes, the number of Common Shares issuable upon such conversion (without taking into account any limitations on the conversion of the Notes as set forth therein).







(vii)         For so long as a Lender owns Notes or Common Shares, upon the request of such Lender Borrower shall furnish any information reasonably requested by such Lender (and not generally available by reference to Parent’s publicly available SEC filings) to confirm whether or not Borrower is a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) under the Code; provided, however, that Parent shall not be obligated to furnish any information that it has not already publicly disclosed. In addition, for each taxable year of Borrower during any portion of which the Notes are outstanding or any Lender holds Common Shares, Borrower shall make due inquiry of its tax advisors on an annual basis regarding its status as a PFIC and, if Borrower’s tax advisors determine that Borrower became a PFIC for any such taxable year, shall notify each Lender in writing, of the determination that Borrower has become a PFIC for such taxable year by no later than 75 days following the close of such taxable year. With respect to (a) any taxable year in respect of which Borrower was determined to be a PFIC and (b) each subsequent taxable year during any part of which the Notes are outstanding or any Lender holds Common Shares, the Borrower shall promptly provide each Lender with all information that is required by a United States person holding Common Shares in order to make a valid election to treat the Borrower as a “qualified electing fund” for the purposes of the Code, including a “PFIC Annual Information Statement” as described in Treasury Regulation section 1.1295-(1)(g)(1) (or any successor Treasury Regulation) and all representations and statements required by such Statement, and will take any other steps necessary to facilitate such election. The Borrower understands and agrees that time is of the essence in complying with the foregoing deadlines, and that any failure by the Borrower to so comply will be materially adverse to each Lender. Each Lender shall promptly respond to any written inquiry from the Borrower requesting the Lender to inform the Borrower whether it owns any Common Shares.


 



29







(viii)        In the event that any Person becomes a Subsidiary of Parent, Parent shall (a) concurrently with such Person becoming a Subsidiary cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor hereunder and a Grantor under the Security Agreement, and (b) take all such actions and execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments, agreements, and certificates as are necessary to grant and to perfect a first priority Lien in favor of Lenders in any assets owned by such Person and in all equity interests of Parent in such Subsidiary.







(ix)           Parent shall, in respect of itself and each Subsidiary incorporated in Ireland: (a) deliver to the Lenders at such times as those reports are prepared in order to comply with the then current statutory or auditing requirements (as applicable either to the trustees of any relevant schemes or to Parent), actuarial reports in relation to all pension schemes mentioned in all pension schemes operated by or maintained for the benefit of such entities and/or any of their employees; (b) promptly notify the Lenders of any material change in the rate of contributions to any pension schemes operated by or maintained for the benefit of such entities and/or any of their employees paid or recommended to be paid (whether by the scheme actuary or otherwise) or required (by law or otherwise); (c) ensure that no action is taken or omission is made by an such entity in relation to any defined benefit pension scheme which has or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (d) promptly notify the Lenders of any obligation on the trustees of any occupational pension scheme to which the Pension Act, 1990 of Ireland applies to submit to the Pensions Board established under that Act a funding proposal under section 49 of the Pensions Act, 1990 of Ireland.







(x)            Borrower shall comply in all respects with Section 82 of the Companies Act 2014 of Ireland and any equivalent legislation in other jurisdictions including, without limitation, in relation to the execution of the Loan Documents, the entry into of the Transactions and the payment of amounts due under this Agreement.







Notwithstanding anything set forth in the definition of Permitted Acquisition or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, if any notice or information required to be furnished contains material non-public information (any such notice or information, a “Public Notice”), the Borrower, instead of delivering such Public Notice to all the Lenders shall promptly deliver such Public Notice to each Lender that is not a Restricted Lender and promptly notify each Restricted Lender in writing or orally that Borrower desires to deliver to such Restricted Lender a Public Notice. Within five Business Days of receipt of such notification the Restricted Lender may either (i) refuse the delivery of such Public Notice, in which case Borrower’s obligations with respect to such Public Notice and such Restricted Lender shall be deemed satisfied, or (ii) enter into good faith negotiations with the Parent to agree the time period within which the Borrower will make the material non-public information contained in such Pubic Notice publicly available by including such information in a filing with the SEC. If Borrower and such Restricted Lender agree on such time period, the Borrower shall promptly deliver to such Restricted Lender such Public Notice and shall cause Parent to include the applicable material non-public information in a public filing with the SEC within such agreed to time period. The failure to agree on such time period will be deemed to satisfy Borrower’s obligations with respect to such Public Notice and such Restricted Lender.


 



30

(i)            Parent shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to (a) liquidate, or be wound up provided that a Subsidiary may merge into Parent or any other Subsidiary, or (b) enter into any merger, consolidation or reorganization, unless (x) Parent or a Subsidiary is the surviving corporation or, (y) subject to Section 5.3 and the terms of the Notes, if the survivor is a Person other than Parent or a Subsidiary, such Person assumes the Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Parent shall not establish any Subsidiary unless such Subsidiary executes and delivers to the Lenders, a Guaranty and the Security Documents in form acceptable to the Lenders and takes all steps necessary to create and perfect a first priority Lien in favor of Lenders on all of its assets and Parent takes all steps necessary to create and perfect a first priority Lien in favor of Lenders in all equity interests in such Subsidiary;







(ii)           Parent shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to (i) enter into any partnership, joint venture, syndicate, pool, profit-sharing or royalty agreement or other combination, or engage in any transaction with an Affiliate (other than a Subsidiary), whereby its income or profits are or might be, shared with another Person (other than a Subsidiary), (ii) enter into any management contract or similar agreement whereby a substantial part of its business is managed by another Person; or (iii) make any cash dividend or distribute, or permit the dividend or distribution of, any of its assets, including its intangibles, to any of its shareholders in such capacity or its Affiliates (other than a Subsidiary) (except for distributions in which Lenders participate pursuant to the provisions of the Notes); provided, however, that Parent or any Subsidiary may enter into Excluded Transactions;







(iii)          Parent shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to (a) create, incur or suffer any Lien upon any of its assets, except Permitted Liens, or (b) assign, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, any Loan Document or its rights and obligations thereunder;


 



31







(iv)          Parent shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to create, incur, assume, guarantee or be liable with respect to any Indebtedness, except for Permitted Indebtedness;







(v)           Parent shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to acquire any assets (a) (other than Permitted Acquisitions (after disregarding, solely for purposes of this Section 5.2(v), the requirements set forth in clause (vii) of the definition of Permitted Acquisition) and (b) other than assets acquired in the ordinary course of business, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions, for a consideration, in cash or other property (valued at its fair market value) not greater than $1,000,000;







(vi)         Parent shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to sell or otherwise transfer the products being developed or sold by Parent or any Subsidiary or any material assets associated therewith, other than in Excluded Transactions; and







(vii)        Parent shall not issue any equity securities (i) senior to its Common Shares or (ii) convertible or exercisable for equity securities senior to its Common Shares.

The Borrower shall give the Lenders notice of a Major Transaction at least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation thereof but in any event not later than five (5) business days following the first public announcement thereof. Each Lender, within the Major Transaction Conversion Period (as defined in the Conversion Note), in the exercise of its sole discretion, may deliver a notice to the Borrower (the “Put Notice”) that either or both of the Conversion Notes and Acquisition Notes shall be due and payable in cash (collectively, the “Major Transaction Payment”). If any of the Lenders deliver a Put Notice, then simultaneously with consummation of such Major Transaction, the Borrower shall make such Major Transaction Payment to each such Lender. The Borrower shall not consummate any Major Transaction without complying with the provisions of this Section 5.3.







Section 5.4           General Acceleration Provision upon Events of Default. If one or more of the events specified in this Section 5.4 shall have happened and be continuing beyond the applicable cure period (each, an “Event of Default”), the Required Lenders, by written notice to the Borrower (an “Acceleration Notice”), may declare the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes or any part of any of them (together with any other amounts accrued or payable under the Loan Documents) to be, and the same shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable, without any further notice and without any presentment, demand, or protest of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and take any further action available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the sale of the Loan and all other rights acquired in connection with the Loan:







(a)         The Borrower shall have failed to make payment of (i) principal when due, or (ii) interest or any other amounts due under the Notes or any other Obligations within five (5) Business Days of their due date.


 



32







(b)         (i) Any Credit Party shall have failed to comply with the due observance or performance of any covenant contained in this Agreement (other than the covenant described in (a) above or as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 5.4) or in the other Loan Documents and such default is not remedied by the Borrower or waived by the Lenders within fifteen (15) days (inclusive of any extension periods or cure periods contained in any such covenant or provided by Applicable Laws) after the earlier of (A) receipt by any Credit Party of notice from the Lenders of such default, or (B) actual knowledge of any Credit Party of such default.







(c)         Any representation or warranty made by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries in any Loan Document shall be incorrect, false or misleading in any material respect (except to the extent that such representation or warranty is qualified by reference to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, to which extent it shall be incorrect, false or misleading in any respect) as of the date it was made or deemed made.







(d)         (i) Any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall generally be unable to pay its debts as such debts become due or be deemed to be unable to pay its debts, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they come due or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall declare a moratorium on the payment of its debts; (iii) the commencement by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries of proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization, examinership, intervention or other similar relief under any applicable law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment of an intervenor, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, examiner (or other similar official) of all or substantially all of its assets; (iv) the commencement against any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries of a proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction under any bankruptcy or other applicable law (as now or hereafter in effect) seeking its liquidation, winding up, dissolution, reorganization, examinership, arrangement, adjustment, or the appointment of an intervenor, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, examiner (or other similar official), and any such proceeding shall continue undismissed, or any order, judgment or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall continue unstayed or otherwise in effect, for a period of forty five (45) days; (v) the making by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debt generally as they become due; or (vi) any other event shall have occurred which under any applicable law would have an effect analogous to any of those events listed above in this subsection.

Section 6.2           Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given to the Lenders or the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.







Section 6.3           Reimbursement of Legal and Other Expenses. If any amount owing to the Lenders under any Loan Document shall be collected through enforcement of this Agreement, any Loan Document or restructuring of the Loan in the nature of a work-out, settlement, negotiation, or any process of law, or shall be placed in the hands of third Persons for collection, the Borrower shall pay (in addition to all monies then due in respect of the Loan or otherwise payable under any Loan Document) all reasonable and documented external attorneys’ and other fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in respect of such collection.







Section 6.4           Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such State. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.







Section 6.5           Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the respective successors and assigns of the Parties, except that (a) a Credit Party may not assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, and (b) a Lender may assign its Notes upon three (3) days prior notice to Borrower. Upon a Lender’s assignment of a Note such Lender shall provide notice of the transfer to Borrower for recordation in the Register pursuant to Section 1.4. Upon receipt of a notice of a transfer of an interest in a Note, Borrower shall record the identity of the transferee and other relevant information in the Register and the transferee shall (to the extent of the interests transferred to such transferee) have all the rights and obligations of, and shall be deemed, a Lender hereunder.


 



36







Section 6.6           Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the matters covered thereby and supersede any and all other written and oral communications, negotiations, commitments and writings with respect thereto. The provisions of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the authorized officer of each Party.







Section 6.7           Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.







Section 6.8           Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and by each Party on separate counterparts, each of which and any photocopies and facsimile copies thereof shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.







Section 6.9           Survival.







(a)         This Agreement and all agreements, representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents, and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant thereto or in connection therewith shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loan hereunder regardless of any investigation made by any such other Party or on its behalf, and shall continue in force until all amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall have been fully paid in accordance with the provisions thereof, and the Lenders shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of making the Loans, any Event of Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that the Lenders may have had notice or knowledge of any such Event of Default or may have had notice or knowledge that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Loans were made.







(b)         The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 1.4 and 2.6 and the obligations of the Borrower and the Lenders under this Article 6 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.







(c)         Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Arrangement Agreement is terminated prior to completion of the transactions contemplated thereby, Tribute shall be released from all of its obligations under this Agreement and this Agreement shall terminate as to Tribute.


 



37







Section 6.10         No Waiver. Neither the failure of, nor any delay on the part of, any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege; nor shall any waiver of any right, power, privilege or default hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, constitute a waiver of any other right, power, privilege or default or constitute a waiver of any default of the same or of any other term or provision. No course of dealing and no delay in exercising, or omission to exercise, any right, power or remedy accruing to the Lenders upon any default under this Agreement, or any other agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein; nor shall the action of the Lenders in respect of any such default, or any acquiescence by it therein, affect or impair any right, power or remedy of the Lenders in respect of any other default. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise provided by law.







Section 6.11         Indemnity.







(a)         Each Credit Party (excluding Tribute prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement) shall, at all times, indemnify and hold each Lender harmless (the “Indemnity”) and each of their respective directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) in connection with any losses, claims (including the reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in defending against such claims), damages, liabilities, penalties, or other expenses arising out of, or relating to, the Loan Documents, the extension of credit hereunder or the Loans or the use or intended use of the Loans, which an Indemnified Person may incur or to which an Indemnified Person may become subject (each, a “Loss”). The Indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court or arbitral tribunal of competent jurisdiction issues a final judgment that such Loss resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person. The Indemnity is independent of and in addition to any other agreement of any Credit Party under any Loan Document to pay any amount to the Lenders, and any exclusion of any obligation to pay any amount under this subsection shall not affect the requirement to pay such amount under any other section hereof or under any other agreement. This Section 6.11 shall not apply with respect to Taxes (which are governed by Section 2.6) other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.







(b)         Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 6.11 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Loss in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying person under this Section 6.11, deliver to Borrower a written notice of the commencement thereof, and Borrower shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent Borrower so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to Borrower and the Indemnified Person, as the case may be.







(c)         An Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the documented reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses to be paid by the indemnifying person, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Person, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and Borrower would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. Credit Parties shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons. The failure of an Indemnified Person to deliver written notice to the Borrower within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve Credit Parties of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 6.11, except to the extent that Credit Parties are actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6.11 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.


 



38







Section 6.12         No Usury. The Loan Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law, that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be deemed excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Loans, or if such deemed excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Loans, such deemed excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loans until payment in full so that the deemed rate of interest on account of the Loans is uniform throughout the term thereof. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control and supersede every other provision of this Agreement and the Notes.







Section 6.13         Several Obligations. The obligations of the Lenders under the Loan Documents shall be several and not joint.







Section 6.14         Further Assurances. Each Credit Party covenants and agrees to take all necessary action to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to fulfill all requirements to the Initial Loans set forth in Section 4.1, including the execution and delivery of the Conversion Notes, contemporaneous with the closing of the Transactions. From time to time, the Borrower shall perform any and all acts and execute and deliver to the Lenders such additional documents as may be necessary or as requested by the Lenders to carry out the purposes of any Loan Document or any or to preserve and protect the Lenders’ rights as contemplated therein.







Section 6.15         Judgment Currency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of any Credit Party in respect of any amount due under this Agreement shall, notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (the “Other Currency”) (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in the currency in which it is due (the “Agreed Currency”) that Lenders may purchase with the sum paid in the Other Currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) on the Business Day immediately after the day on which Lender receives the payment. If the amount in the Agreed Currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due, the Credit Parties shall pay all additional amounts, in the Agreed Currency, as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. Any obligation of a Credit Party not discharged by that payment shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided in this Section 6.15, continue in full force and effect.


 



39







Section 6.16         Amendment and Novation Further Assurances. The Lenders agree to cooperate with the Credit Parties and take such action as the Borrower may reasonably request to effect prior to the completion of the Transactions, an amendment and novation of the Loan Documents and an assumption of any Initial Loans, Acquisition Loans, Acquisition Notes and Conversion Notes then in issue such that:







(i)            the Irish Finco becomes the issuer of the Conversion Notes and the Acquisition Notes and the Borrower hereunder, in each case fully guaranteed by, inter alia, the Parent;







(ii)           the Acquisition Notes and the Conversion Notes (when assumed by, or issued or re-issued, as applicable, by Irish Finco), are in a form capable of being listed on a recognised stock exchange for the purposes of Section 64 of the Irish Taxes Consolidation Act 1997;







(iii)          the Conversion Notes as so amended and novated will include provision for the Conversion Notes to be physically settled for Ordinary Shares of the Parent or cash settled in an equivalent value amount at the election of the Parent following an exchange election by the Lenders; and







(iv)          the Parent shall guarantee the exchange issuance obligations of the Irish Finco referred to in clause (iii) above.







Provided that:







(a)         any such amendment, novation and assumption shall preserve the affirmative and negative covenants of the Credit Parties and the economic benefit for the Lenders of the provisions of this Agreement and the Acquisition Notes and Conversion Notes as contemplated by this Agreement on the date hereof.







(b)         the legal rights of the holders of the Acquisition Notes and Conversion Notes (when assumed by, or issued or re-issued, as applicable, by Irish Finco) shall be equivalent to those provided to the Lenders hereunder.







(c)         a stock exchange which is a recognised stock exchange for the purposes of Section 64 of the Irish Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 shall have confirmed that it will admit the Acquisition Notes and Conversion Notes (when assumed by, or issued or re-issued, as applicable, by Irish Finco) to listing.


 



40







(d)         Parent and Irish Finco shall have confirmed in writing to the Lenders that, following such amendment, novation and assumption, and assuming the admission of the Conversion Notes and the Acquisition Notes to listing, payments to the Lenders under the Conversion Notes and the Acquisition Notes will not be subject to Irish withholding tax.







The costs and expenses of such amendment and novation, including all costs incurred by the Lenders in connection therewith, shall be the joint and several obligation of the Credit Parties, regardless of whether an amendment and novation occurs and shall be in addition to the obligation of the Credit Parties pursuant to Section 2.7. The provisions of this Section 6.15 are without prejudice to the obligations of the Credit Parties under Section 2.6.







Such amendment and novation shall be on terms reasonably acceptable to Lenders.







Should the amendment and novation of the Loan Documents and the listing of the Conversion Notes and the Acquisition Notes not be consummated as described above, the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not issue to the Holder, and the Holder may not acquire, a number of Shares upon conversion of this Note or otherwise issue any Ordinary Shares pursuant hereto or the Facility Agreement to the extent that, upon such conversion, the number of Shares then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 9.985% of the total number of Ordinary Shares then issued (excluding treasury shares) (the “9.985% Cap”); provided, however, that the 9.985% Cap shall only apply to the extent that Ordinary Shares are deemed to constitute an “equity securities” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the SEC, and the percentage held by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

(i)            Holder’s Delivery Requirements. To convert a Conversion Amount into Conversion Shares on any date (the “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile or electronic mail (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on such date, a copy of an executed conversion notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or, in the case of a Major Transaction Conversion for Major Transaction Company Shares (as defined below), a Major Transaction Conversion Notice (such applicable notice, the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company (Attention: [__________, __________________, Fax: (___) ___-____, Email: __________@________.com)], and (B) if required by Section 2(c)(vi), surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Company, no later than three (3) Business Days after the Conversion Date, the original Note being converted (or an indemnification undertaking in customary form with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction).







(ii)            Company’s Response. Upon receipt or deemed receipt by the Company of a copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company (I) shall immediately send, via facsimile or electronic mail, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Company’s designated transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein and (II) on or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of receipt or deemed receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice or, in the case of Major Transaction Company Shares, within the period provided in Section 3(d) (the “Share Delivery Date”); (A) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and provided that the Holder is eligible to receive Shares through DTC, credit such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (B) if the foregoing shall not apply, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a share or stock certificate (as the case may be), registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled. If this Note is submitted for conversion, and the Principal represented by this Note is greater than the Principal being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after receipt of this Note (the “Note Delivery Date”) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Note representing the Principal not converted and cancel this Note. This Note and the Conversion Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Conversion Shares if the Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) are met.


 



7







(iii)            Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue to the Holder the number of Conversion Shares that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via facsimile or electronic mail within two (2) Business Days of receipt or deemed receipt of the Holder’s Conversion Notice or other date of determination. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Conversion Price or arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate within one (1) Business Day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Holder, then the Company shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) submit via facsimile or electronic mail (A) the disputed determination of the Conversion Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm agreed to by the Company and the Required Note Holders, or (B) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, as the case may be. The Company shall direct the investment bank or the accounting firm, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than two (2) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accounting firm’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any such final determination in respect of a dispute in connection with a Major Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving parent entity, shall be made prior to consummation of such Major Transaction.







(iv)            Record Holder. The person or persons entitled to receive the Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the legal and record holder or holders of such Shares upon delivery of the Conversion Notice via facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof.


 



8







(v)            Company’s Failure to Timely Convert.







(A)            Cash Damages. If within three (3) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile or electronic mail copy of a Conversion Notice or deemed receipt of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder for, or credit the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC with, the number of Conversion Shares (free of any restrictive legend if the Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) are met) to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount, then in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Agreement, the Company shall pay additional damages to the Holder for each 30-day period (prorated for any partial period) after the Share Delivery Date such conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of, the product of (I) the number of Conversion Shares not issued to the Holder or its designee on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled and (II) the Volume Weighted Average Price of an Ordinary Share on the Share Delivery Date (such product is referred to herein as the “Share Product Amount. Alternatively, subject to Section 2(c)(iii), at the election of the Holder made in the Holder’s sole discretion, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in lieu of the additional damages referred to in the preceding sentence (but in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Agreement), 105% of the amount by which (A) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Shares purchased to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled but has not received upon a conversion exceeds (B) the net proceeds received by the Holder from the sale of the Shares to which the Holder is entitled but has not received upon such conversion. If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 2(c)(v)(A) within five (5) Business Days of the date incurred, then the Holder entitled to such payments shall have the right at any time, so long as the Company continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Company, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of such cash damages, the number of Shares equal to the quotient of (X) the aggregate amount of the damages payments described herein divided by (Y) the Conversion Price in effect on such Conversion Date as specified by the Holder in the Conversion Notice.







(B)            Void Conversion Notice. If for any reason the Holder has not received all of the Conversion Shares prior to the fifteenth (15th) Business Day after the Share Delivery Date with respect to a conversion of this Note (a “Conversion Failure”), then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company (a “Void Conversion Notice”), may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to the Holder’s Conversion Notice; provided, that the voiding of the Holder’s Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 2(c)(v)(A) or otherwise.







(C)            Event of Default. A Conversion Failure shall constitute an Event of Default under the Facility Agreement and entitle the Lenders to all payments and remedies provided under the Facility Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.


 



9







(vi)            Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion or redemption of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless all of the Principal is being converted or redeemed. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal converted or redeemed and the dates of such conversions or redemptions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon any such partial conversion or redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is converted or redeemed as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining Principal represented by this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note, the Principal of this Note may be less than the principal amount stated on the face hereof.







(d)            Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all Other Taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Conversion Shares upon the conversion of this Note.







(e)            Legends.







(i)            Restrictive Legend. The Holder understands that until such time as this Note or the Conversion Shares have been registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, this Note and the Conversion Shares, as applicable, may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities):







“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PURSUANT TO RULES 144 OR 144A UNDER SAID ACT OR PURSUANT TO A PRIVATE SALE EFFECTED UNDER APPLICABLE FORMAL OR INFORMAL SEC INTERPRETATION OR GUIDANCE, SUCH AS A SO-CALLED “4(1) AND A HALF” SALE.”







“THE SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JUNE 8, 2015, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF ITS OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”


 



10







(ii)            Removal of Restrictive Legends. This Note and the certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares (including any Major Transaction Company Shares), as applicable, shall not contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in subsection 2(e)(i)): (A) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the sale or resale of the Conversion Shares is effective under the Securities Act, or (B) following any sale of such Note and/or Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Note or Conversion Shares, as the case may be, are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), (D) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date (as defined below), or at such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions have been satisfied, if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the issuance of this Note or the Conversion Shares, as applicable, without a restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder. If any of the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of any of the Conversion Shares, then such Conversion Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(e), it will, no later than five (5) Trading Days following the delivery (the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Deadline”) by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of this Note and a certificate representing Conversion Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder this Note and/or a certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. For purposes hereof, “Effective Date” shall mean the date that the Registration Statement that the Company is required to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement has been declared effective by the SEC.







(iii)            Sale of Unlegended Shares. Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from this Note and any certificates representing securities as set forth in Section 2(e) above is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell this Note or any Conversion Shares, as applicable, pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.







(f)            Dividend, Subdivision, Combination or Reclassification. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, (A) declare a dividend on the Ordinary Shares, or capitalization of profits or reserves, payable in shares of its Capital Stock (including Ordinary Shares), other than a dividend for which the Holder would be entitled to participate pursuant to Section 6, (B) subdivide the outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of Ordinary Shares, (C) consolidate or combine the outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares of its Ordinary Shares or (D) issue any shares of its Capital Stock in a reclassification of the Ordinary Shares (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), or (E) repay or reduce its capital or otherwise adjust the nominal value of its Shares, then in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Note upon conversion after such date shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of its Capital Stock which, if this Note had been converted immediately prior to such date, such holder would have owned upon such conversion and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification. Any such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date of such dividend or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur. If a dividend on the Ordinary Shares, or capitalization of profits or reserves, payable in shares of its Capital Stock (including Ordinary Shares) is declared and such dividend is not paid, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price, in effect immediately prior to such record date (giving effect to all adjustments that otherwise would be required to be made pursuant to this Section 2 from and after such record date).


 



11







3.            Rights Upon Major Transaction. In the event that a Major Transaction occurs, then the Holder, at its option, may (i) require the Company to repay all or a portion of the principal amount outstanding on the Holder’s Notes plus all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, in accordance with Section 5.3 of the Facility Agreement or (ii) convert all or a portion of the principal amount outstanding in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 (a “Major Transaction Conversion”) and cause the Company to pay to the Holder all accrued and unpaid Interest under this Note. The Holder shall have the right to waive its rights under this Section 3 with respect to such Major Transaction.







(a)            Major Transaction Conversion. In the event that a Major Transaction occurs, then (1) in the case of a transaction covered by the provisions of clause (A) of the definition of “Major Transaction”, in which the Ordinary Shares of the Company are converted into the right to receive cash, securities of another entity and/or other assets (a “Successor Major Transaction”), the Holder, at its option, may convert, in whole or in part, the outstanding principal amount under this Note into the right to receive upon consummation of the Major Transaction, the amount of cash and other assets and the number of securities or other property of the Successor Entity or other entity that the Holder would have received had such Holder converted the Major Transaction Conversion Amount (as defined below) into Base Conversion Shares and Additional Conversion Shares (as defined below and without regard to the 9.985% Cap) immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction (the “Successor Consideration”) and (2) in the case of any other Major Transactions not covered under clause (1) above (a “Company Share Major Transaction”), the Holder shall have the right to convert, in whole or in part, and from time to time, the outstanding principal amount under this Note into Base Conversion Shares and Additional Conversion Shares (“Major Transaction Company Shares”).







(b)            Base Conversion Shares and Additional Conversion Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any conversion or deemed conversion effected in connection with a Major Transaction pursuant to this Section 3, the aggregate total number of Major Transaction Company Shares into which all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note may be converted or, the aggregate number of conversion shares to be used for calculating the Successor Consideration, as applicable, shall be calculated to be the sum of (a) the number of Ordinary Shares into which the principal amount of this Note then being converted would otherwise be converted as calculated under Section 2 hereof (such number of shares, the “Base Conversion Shares”), plus (b) the number of Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (x) the Additional Share Coefficient (as such term is defined and determined for each $1,000 of principal amount of this Note on Schedule I attached hereto and made a part hereof) for such Major Transaction and (y) a fraction the numerator of which is the amount of the principal amount of this Note then being converted and the denominator of which is $1,000 (such number of Ordinary Shares calculated in accordance with this clause (b), the “Additional Conversion Shares”).


 



12







(c)            Notice; Major Transaction Conversion Election. At least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any Major Transaction (other than a transaction described in clause (C) of the definition of “Major Transaction”), but, in any event, within five (5) Business Days following the first to occur of (x) the date of the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or (y) the day following the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made on and after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via (i) facsimile or electronic mail and (ii) overnight courier to the Holder (a “Major Transaction Notice”). At any time during the Major Transaction Conversion Period, the Holder may elect to effect a Major Transaction Conversion by delivering written notice thereof (“Major Transaction Conversion Notice”) to the Company, which Major Transaction Conversion Notice shall indicate the portion of the Note (the “Major Transaction Conversion Amount”), calculated with reference to the principal amount outstanding that the Holder is electing to treat as a Major Transaction Conversion. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be permitted to make successive conversions and send successive Major Transaction Conversion Notices in respect of a Company Share Major Transaction from time to time at any time during the Major Transaction Conversion Period; provided that the Company will not be required to issue Conversion Shares with respect to a Major Transaction Conversion Notice with respect to less than the lesser of (i) $1,000,000 principal amount of this Note and (ii) the principal amount outstanding under the Note.







(d)            Settlement of Major Transaction Conversion. Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Conversion Notice from the Holder, the Company shall not effect a Successor Major Transaction that is being treated as a Major Transaction Conversion unless at the time of the execution of the definitive documentation relating to such Major Transaction it obtains the written agreement of the Successor Entity that payment or issuance of the Successor Consideration plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of payment, shall be made to the Holder prior to consummation of such Major Transaction and such payment or issuance, as the case may be, shall be a condition precedent to consummation of such Major Transaction. Concurrently upon closing of such Successor Major Transaction, the Company shall pay or issue, as the case may be, or shall instruct any escrow agent for the transaction to pay or issue, and will cause the Successor Entity to issue and/or pay, the applicable Successor Consideration, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of payment. Any Major Transaction Company Shares issuable in respect of a Company Share Major Transaction shall be issued to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days following the date of each Major Transaction Conversion Notice.


 



13







(e)            Damages. Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Conversion Notice from the Holder, in the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Successor Major Transaction without obtaining the written agreement of the Successor Entity described in subsection (d) above, the Holder shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent the closing of such Major Transaction until the Successor Consideration is satisfied to the Holder in full.







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







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







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







6.            Participation. The Holder, as the holder of this Note, shall be entitled to receive such dividends paid and distributions of any kind made to the holders of Ordinary Shares to the same extent as if the Holder had converted this Note into Ordinary Shares (without regard to any limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized and reserved to effect any such exercise and issuance) and had held such Ordinary Shares on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Ordinary Shares.


 



14







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







8.            Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note, the Facility Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy, and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.







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







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







11.            Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Facility Agreement.







12.            Restrictions on Transfer.







(a)            Registration or Exemption Required. This Note has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Regulation D. None of the Note or the Conversion Shares may be pledged, transferred, sold, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws including, without limitation, a so-called “4(1) and a half” transaction.







(b)            Assignment. Subject to Section 12(a), the Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Note, in whole or in part.

The Company shall effect the assignment within five (5) Trading Days (the “Transfer Delivery Period”), and shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Note or Notes of like tenor and terms for the appropriate principal amount. This Note and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Note are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Note, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder. For avoidance of doubt, in the event Holder notifies the Company that such sale or transfer is a so called “4(1) and half” transaction, the parties hereto agree that a legal opinion from outside counsel for the Holder delivered to counsel for the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C shall be the only requirement to satisfy an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to effectuate such “4(1) and half” transaction.


 



15







13.            Obligations of the Company. For so long as any conversion rights under this Note remain capable of being exercised, the Company will (a) keep available for issue out of its authorized but unissued shares capital free from pre-emptive rights such number of Ordinary Shares as would enable the Conversion Shares to be issued in full, and (b) will not, without the consent of the Holder, make any alteration to its articles of association which could have a material adverse effect on the rights attaching to the Ordinary Shares or the rights of the Holder.

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







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

In connection herewith, we have examined such documents and issues of law as we have deemed relevant.







Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the transfer of the Note by _______ to ______ may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, provided, however, that the Note to be transferred to _______ contain a legend restricting its transferability pursuant to the Securities Act and that transfer of the Note is subject to a stop order.







The foregoing opinion is furnished only to ____________ and may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to or relied upon by you for any purposes other than the purpose for which furnished or by any other person for any purpose, without our prior written consent.







Very truly yours,


 








Schedule 1







The “Additional Share Coefficient” shall mean the number of additional Ordinary Shares issuable per $1,000 of principal amount of the Note upon a Major Transaction and shall be the additional share number set forth on the chart with respect to the “Share Price Result” on the “y” axis and the corresponding “Remaining Note Life” on the “x” axis; provided, however, that to the extent the actual Share Price Result (as defined below) falls between two data points on the “y” axis and/or the actual date of the Major Transaction falls between two data points on the “x” axis, the “Additional Share Coefficient” shall be determined by calculating the arithmetic mean between (i) the result obtained for the Share Price Result based on the linear interpolation between the additional share numbers corresponding to the two Share Price Result data points and (ii) the result obtained for the Remaining Note Life based on the linear interpolation between the two additional share numbers corresponding to the two Remaining Note Life data points; and provided further, however, that in the event of any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 2 of this Note, the numbers of additional Ordinary Shares issuable per $1,000 of principal amount of this Note as set forth in the chart below shall be deemed adjusted pro rata with any adjustment resulting from the adjustment to the Conversion Price that would be made to the number of Ordinary Shares then convertible with respect to $1,000 of principal amount of this Note as calculated under Section 2 of this Note. For purposes of the chart below, the “Share Price Result” shall be the greater of: (i) the last sales price of Ordinary Shares on NASDAQ, or, if that is not the principal trading market for Ordinary Shares, such principal market on which Ordinary Shares are traded or listed (the “Closing Market Price”) immediately prior to the consummation of the Major Transaction or (ii) in the case of a Major Transaction in which holders of Ordinary Shares receive solely cash consideration in connection with such major Transaction, the cash amount payable per share of Common Stock in such Major Transaction. If the actual Share Price Result is greater than $60 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Price as provided in Section 2 of this Note), or if the actual Shares Price Result is less than $5.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Price as provided in Section 2 of this Note), then the Additional Share Coefficient shall be equal to the amount applicable to $60 and $5, respectively.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Aguono Limited (company number 561617), a private limited company incorporated in the Republic of Ireland (the “Maker”), by means of this Secured Promissory Note (this “Note”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to _______________ (the “Payee”), a principal amount equal to the lesser of (a) Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000) and (b) the aggregate amount of Acquisition Loans allocated to the Payee pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Facility Agreement referenced below, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, on the dates provided in the Facility Agreement.







This Note is an “Acquisition Note” referred to in the Facility Agreement dated as of May ___, 2015 between the Maker, the Payee and the other parties thereto (as modified and supplemented and in effect from time to time, the “Facility Agreement”), with respect to an Acquisition Loan made by the Payee thereunder and is secured by all Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents. Capitalized terms used herein and not expressly defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Facility Agreement.







This Note shall bear interest on the principal amount hereof pursuant to the provisions of the Facility Agreement.







The Maker shall make all payments to the Payee of interest and principal under this Note in the manner provided in and otherwise in accordance with the Facility Agreement.







If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, this Note may in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Facility Agreement, become immediately due and payable.







All payments of any kind due to the Payee from the Maker pursuant to this Note shall be made in the full face amount thereof. Subject to the terms of the Facility Agreement, all such payments will be free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes. The Maker shall pay all and any costs (administrative or otherwise) imposed by the Maker’s banks, clearing houses, or any other financial institution, in connection with making any payments hereunder.







The Maker shall pay all costs of collection, including, without limitation, all reasonable, legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, paid or incurred by the Payee in collecting and enforcing this Note.







Other than those notices required to be provided by Payee to Maker under the terms of the Facility Agreement, the Maker and every endorser of this Note, or the obligations represented hereby, expressly waives presentment, protest, demand, notice of dishonor or default, and notice of any kind with respect to this Note and the Facility Agreement or the performance of the obligations under this Note and/or the Facility Agreement. No renewal or extension of this Note or the Facility Agreement, no delay in the enforcement of payment of this Note or the Facility Agreement, and no delay or omission in exercising any right or power under this Note or the Facility Agreement shall affect the liability of the Maker or any endorser of this Note.


 



1

This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part, except in accordance with the provisions of the Facility Agreement.

The Maker hereby waives any and all rights to demand a trial by jury in any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note or the transactions contemplated by this Note.
