4.                                      Purchased Shares:                       shares of Common Stock

 

5.                                      Grant Date of Option:

 

6.                                      Exercise of Option.

 

(a)                                 Exercise.  Optionee hereby purchases the Purchased Shares at the Exercise Price pursuant to the exercise of that certain option (the “Option”) granted to Optionee as of the Grant Date pursuant to the 2011 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the “Plan”) of ConforMIS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

 

(b)                                 Payment.  Concurrently with the delivery of this Agreement to the Company, Optionee shall pay the aggregate Exercise Price for all of the Purchased Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Option Agreement and shall deliver whatever additional documents may be required by the Option Agreement as a condition for exercise.  If any of the Purchased Shares are Unvested Shares, the Optionee has shall also deliver to the Company a duly-executed blank Assignment Separate from Certificate in the form satisfactory to the Company.

 

(c)                                  Stockholder Rights.  Until such time as the Company exercises the Repurchase Right or the First Refusal Right, Optionee (or any successor in interest) shall have all stockholder rights (including voting, dividend and liquidation rights) with respect to the Purchased Shares, subject, however, to the transfer restrictions imposed by this Agreement.

 

7.                                      Securities Law Compliance.

 

(a)                                 Restricted Securities.  The Purchased Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act and are being issued to Optionee in reliance upon the exemption from such registration provided by Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act or SEC Rule 504, 505, 506 or 701.  Optionee hereby confirms that Optionee has been informed that the Purchased Shares are restricted securities under the 1933 Act and may not be resold or transferred unless the Purchased Shares are first registered under the Federal securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available.  Accordingly, Optionee hereby acknowledges that Optionee is prepared to hold the Purchased Shares for an indefinite period and that Optionee is aware that SEC Rule 144 issued under the 1933 Act which exempts certain resales of unrestricted securities is not presently available to exempt the resale of the Purchased Shares from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act.

 

 

(b)                                 Restrictions on Disposition of Purchased Shares.

 

(i)                                     Optionee shall make no disposition of the Purchased Shares (other than a Permitted Transfer) unless and until there is compliance with all of the following requirements:

 

(A)                               Optionee shall have provided the Company with a written summary of the terms and conditions of the proposed disposition.

 

(B)                               Optionee shall have complied with all requirements of this Agreement applicable to the disposition of the Purchased Shares.

 

(C)                               Optionee shall have provided the Company with written assurances, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that (1) the proposed disposition does not require registration of the Purchased Shares under the 1933 Act or (2) all appropriate action necessary for compliance with the registration requirements of the 1933 Act or any exemption from registration available under the 1933 Act (including Rule 144) has been taken.

 

(ii)                                  The Company shall not be required (A) to transfer on its books any Purchased Shares which have been sold or transferred in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or (B) to treat as the owner of the Purchased Shares, or otherwise to accord voting, dividend or liquidation rights to, any transferee to whom the Purchased Shares have been transferred in contravention of this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Restrictive Legends.  The stock certificates representing the Purchased Shares shall be endorsed with one or more of the following restrictive legends:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND ARE “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE ACT.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE OR OTHERWISE DISTRIBUTED EXCEPT (I) IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT, (II) IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144, OR (III) PURSUANT TO AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION OR COMPLIANCE IS NOT REQUIRED AS TO SAID SALE, OFFER OR DISTRIBUTION.

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY (I) ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL IN FAVOR OF THE CORPORATION WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES AND (II) MAY BE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT TO REPURCHASE SUCH SECURITIES UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, PURSUANT TO AN AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF SUCH SECURITIES.  A COPY OF

THAT AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION.

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER FOR A PERIOD OF UP TO 180 DAYS FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT FOR AN OFFERING OF THE CORPORATION’S SECURITIES PURSUANT TO AN AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF SUCH SECURITIES.  A COPY OF THAT AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION.

 

(d)                                 Representations, Warranties, Covenants, and Acknowledgments of Optionee.  The Optionee hereby represents, warrants, covenants, acknowledges, and agrees that:

 

(i)                                     Investment.  Optionee is acquiring the Purchased Shares for Optionee’s own account, and not for the account of any other person.  Optionee is acquiring the Purchased Shares for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof except in compliance with applicable laws regulating securities.

 

(ii)                                  Business Experience.  Optionee is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Optionee’s investment in the Company evidenced by the purchase of the Purchased Shares.

 

(iii)                               Relation to Company.  Optionee is presently an officer, director, or employee of, or independent contractor to, the Company and in such capacity has become personally familiar with the business, affairs, financial condition, and results of operations of the Company.

 

(iv)                              Access to Information.  Optionee has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, appropriate executive officers of the Company with respect to the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and with respect to the business, affairs, financial condition, and results of operations of the Company.  Optionee has had access to such financial and other information as is necessary in order for Optionee to make a fully informed decision as to investment in the Company by way of purchase of the Purchased Shares, and has had the opportunity to obtain any additional information necessary to verify any of such information to which Optionee has had access.  Optionee acknowledges that all financial information concerning the Company that has been or will be provided to Optionee is confidential and proprietary information of the Company and is subject to the obligation of confidentiality and other restrictions and limitations and use and disclosure.

 

(v)                         Speculative Investment.  Optionee’s investment in the Company represented by the Purchased Shares is highly speculative in nature and is subject to a high degree of risk of loss in whole or in part.  The amount of such investment is within Optionee’s risk capital means and is not so great in relation to Optionee’s total financial resources as would 

 

3

 

jeopardize the personal financial needs of Optionee or Optionee’s family in the event such investment were lost in whole or in part.

 

(vi)                              Public Trading.  None of the Company’s securities is presently publicly traded, and the Company has made no representation, covenant, or agreement as to whether there will be a public market for any of its securities.

 

(vii)                           Tax Advice.  The Company has not made, and does not pursuant to this Agreement make, any warranties or representations to Optionee with respect to the income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and Optionee is in no manner relying on the Company or its representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences.

 

8.                                      Transfer Restrictions.

 

(a)                                 Restriction on Transfer.  Except for any Permitted Transfer, (i) Optionee shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Unvested Shares and (ii) Optionee shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Vested Shares in contravention of the First Refusal Right, the Market Stand-Off or the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 7.

 

(b)                                 Transferee Obligations.  Each person (other than the Company) to whom the Purchased Shares are transferred by means of a Permitted Transfer must, as a condition precedent to the validity of such transfer, acknowledge in writing to the Company that such person is bound by the provisions of this Agreement and that the transferred shares are subject to (i) the Repurchase Right (if applicable), (ii) the First Refusal Right, (iii) the Market Stand-Off and (iv) the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 7, to the same extent such shares would be so subject if retained by Optionee.

 

(c)                                  Market Stand-Off.

 

(i)                                     In connection with the Company’s initial public offering and any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act within two years after the effective date of the Company’s initial public offering, Owner shall not sell, make any short sale of, hedge with, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose or transfer for value or otherwise agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Vested Shares without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters (the “Market Stand-Off”).  The Market Stand-Off shall be in effect for such period of time from and after the effective date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters; provided, however, that such period shall not exceed 180 days.

 

(ii)                                  Any new, substituted or additional securities that are by reason of any Recapitalization or Reorganization distributed with respect to Vested Shares shall be immediately subject to the Market Stand-Off.

 

4

 

(iii)                               In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to Vested Shares until the end of the applicable stand-off period.

 

9.                                      Repurchase Right.

 

(a)                                 Grant.  The Company shall have the right (the “Repurchase Right”) to repurchase, at the Repurchase Price, any or all of the Purchased Shares which are Unvested Shares at the time Optionee ceases to provide Service to the Company.

 

(b)                                 Exercise of the Repurchase Right.  The Repurchase Right shall be exercisable by written notice delivered to each Owner of the Unvested Shares at any time during the 90 day period following the date Optionee ceases for any reason to provide Service to the Company or (if later) during the 90 day period following the execution date of this Agreement.  The notice shall indicate the number of Unvested Shares to be repurchased, the Repurchase Price to be paid, and the date on which the repurchase is to be effected, such date to be not more than 90 days following the execution date of this Agreement.  The stock certificates representing the Unvested Shares to be repurchased shall be delivered to the Company on the closing date specified for the repurchase.  Concurrently with the receipt of such stock certificates, the Company shall pay to Owner, in cash or cash equivalents (including the cancellation of any purchase-money indebtedness), an amount equal to the aggregate Repurchase Price for the Unvested Shares which are to be repurchased from Owner.

 

(c)                                  Termination of the Repurchase Right.  The Repurchase Right shall terminate with respect to any Unvested Shares for which it is not timely exercised under Section 9(b).  In addition, the Repurchase Right shall terminate and cease to be exercisable as and when the Purchased Shares become Vested Shares.  All Vested Shares shall, however, continue to be subject to (i) the First Refusal Right, (ii) the Market Stand Off and (iii) the transfer restrictions set forth in Sections 7 and 8.

 

(d)                                 Aggregate Vesting Limitation.  If the Option is exercised in more than one increment so that Optionee is a party to other stock purchase agreements (the “Prior Purchase Agreements”) which are executed prior to the date of this Agreement, then the total number of Purchased Shares as to which Optionee shall be deemed to have a fully-vested interest under this Agreement and all Prior Purchase Agreements shall not exceed in the aggregate the number of Purchased Shares in which Optionee would otherwise at the time be vested, in accordance with the Vesting Schedule, had all the Purchased Shares (including those acquired under the Prior Purchase Agreements) been acquired exclusively under this Agreement.

 

(e)                                  Recapitalization.  Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including cash paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which is by reason of any Recapitalization distributed with respect to the Unvested Shares shall be immediately subject to the Repurchase Right and any escrow requirements hereunder.  Appropriate adjustments to reflect such distribution shall be made to the number and/or class of Unvested Shares subject to this Agreement.  In addition, for purposes of determining the Repurchase Price, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price in order to reflect the effect of any such

 

5

 

Recapitalization upon the Company’s capital structure; provided, however, that the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.

 

(f)                                   Change of Control.

 

(i)                                     The Repurchase Right shall automatically terminate in its entirety, and all Unvested Shares shall become Vested Shares, upon the consummation of a Change of Control in accordance with Article Two, Section III of the Plan, or as otherwise set forth in the Grant Notice.

 

(ii)                                  To the extent the Repurchase Right remains in effect following a Change of Control, such right shall apply to any new securities or other property (including any cash payments) received in exchange for the Unvested Shares in consummation of the Change of Control.  For purposes of determining the Repurchase Price, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price to reflect the effect (if any) of the Change of Control upon the Company’s capital structure; provided, however, that the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.  The new securities or other property (including any cash payments) issued or distributed with respect to the Unvested Shares in consummation of the Change of Control shall be immediately deposited in escrow with the Company (or the successor entity) and shall not be released from escrow until Optionee vests in such securities or other property in accordance with the Vesting Schedule.

 

10.                               Right of First Refusal.

 

(a)                                 Grant.  The Company shall have the right of first refusal (the “First Refusal Right”) exercisable in connection with any proposed transfer of Vested Shares.  For purposes of this Section 10, the term “transfer” shall include any sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition of Vested Shares intended to be made by Owner, but shall not include any Permitted Transfer.

 

(b)                                 Notice of Intended Disposition.  In the event any Owner of Vested Shares desires to accept a bona fide third-party offer for the transfer of any or all of such shares (Vested Shares subject to such offer to be hereinafter referred to as the “Target Shares”), the Owner shall promptly (i) deliver to the Company written notice (the “Disposition Notice”) of the terms of the offer, including the purchase price and the identity of the third-party offeror, and (ii) provide satisfactory proof that the disposition of the Target Shares to such third-party offeror would not be in contravention of the provisions set forth in Sections 7 and 8.

 

(c)                          Exercise of the First Refusal Right.  The Company shall have the right to repurchase any or all of the Target Shares subject to the Disposition Notice upon the same terms as those specified therein or upon such other terms (not materially different from those specified in the Disposition Notice) to which Owner consents.  Such right shall be exercisable by delivery of written notice (the “Exercise Notice”) to Owner prior to the 25th day following the Company’s receipt of the Disposition Notice.  The Company shall effect the repurchase of such shares, including payment of the purchase price, not more than 10 business days after delivery of the Exercise Notice; and at such time the stock certificates representing the Target Shares shall be delivered to the Company.  If less than all of the Target Shares are purchased, the Company shall 

 

6

 

issue a new stock certificate to the Owner representing the remaining Target Shares.  Should the purchase price specified in the Disposition Notice be payable in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the Company shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash equal in amount to the value of such property.  If Owner and the Company cannot agree on such cash value within 10 days after the Company’s receipt of the Disposition Notice, the valuation shall be made by an appraiser of recognized standing selected by Owner and the Company or, if they cannot agree on an appraiser within 20 days after the Company’s receipt of the Disposition Notice, each shall select an appraiser of recognized standing and the two appraisers shall designate a third appraiser of recognized standing, whose appraisal shall be determinative of such value.  Owner and the Company shall share the cost of such appraisal equally.  The closing shall then be held on the later of (i) the fifth business day following delivery of the Exercise Notice or (ii) the fifth business day after such valuation shall have been made.

 

(d)                                 Non-Exercise of the First Refusal Right.  In the event the Exercise Notice is not given to Owner prior to the expiration of the 25 day exercise period or the Company does not purchase all of the Target Shares, Owner shall have a period of 30 days thereafter in which to sell or otherwise dispose of the Target Shares (or portion thereof not purchased by the Company) to the third-party offeror identified in the Disposition Notice upon terms (including the purchase price) no more favorable to such third-party offeror than those specified in the Disposition Notice; provided, however, that any such sale or disposition must not be effected in contravention of the provisions of Sections 7 and 8.  The third-party offeror shall acquire the Target Shares subject to the First Refusal Right and the provisions and restrictions of Sections 7 and 8, and any subsequent disposition of the acquired shares must be effected in compliance with the terms and conditions of such First Refusal Right and the provisions and restrictions of Sections 7 and 8.  In the event Owner does not effect such sale or disposition of the Target Shares within the specified 30 day period, the First Refusal Right shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition of the Target Shares by Owner until such right lapses.

 

(e)                                  Recapitalization/Reorganization.

 

(i)                                     Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property that is by reason of any Recapitalization distributed with respect to Vested Shares shall be immediately subject to the First Refusal Right.

 

(ii)                                  In the event of a Reorganization, the First Refusal Right shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to the new capital stock or other property received in exchange for Vested Shares in consummation of the Reorganization and shall apply to the remaining Unvested Shares as and when they become Vested Shares.

 

(f)                                   Lapse.  The First Refusal Right shall lapse upon the earlier to occur of (i) a firm commitment underwritten public offering, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, covering the offer and sale of the Common Stock in the aggregate amount of at least $20,000,000 or (ii) the acquisition of the Company by an entity that is traded on a stock exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market.

11.                               Special Tax Election.

 

The acquisition of Purchased Shares that are Unvested Shares as of the Effective Date of this Agreement may result in adverse tax consequences that may be avoided or mitigated by filing an election under Code Section 83(b).  Such election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days after the date of this Agreement.  Optionee will consult with his or her tax advisor to determine if there is a comparable election to file in the state of his or her residence and whether such filing is desirable under the circumstances.  Optionee will also consult with his or her tax advisor to determine the tax consequences of acquiring the Purchased Shares and the advantages and disadvantages of filing the Code Section 83(b) election.  Optionee acknowledges that it is Optionee’s sole responsibility, and not the Company’s responsibility, to file a timely election under Code Section 83(b), even if Optionee requests the Company or its representatives to make this filing on his or her behalf.

 

12.                               General Provisions.

 

(a)                                 Assignment.  The Company may assign the Repurchase Right and/or the First Refusal Right to any person or entity selected by the Plan Administrator, including (without limitation) one or more stockholders of the Company.

 

(b)                                 At-Will Employment.  Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Optionee any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) or of Optionee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate Optionee’s Service to the Company at any time for any reason, with or without cause.

 

(c)                                  Notices.  Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Company at its principal corporate offices.  Any notice required to be given or delivered to Optionee shall be in writing and addressed to Optionee at the address indicated below Optionee’s signature on the signature page to this Agreement.  All notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or on the third day following deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

 

(d)                                 No Waiver.  The failure of the Company in any instance to exercise the Repurchase Right or the First Refusal Right shall not constitute a waiver of any other repurchase rights and/or rights of first refusal that may subsequently arise under the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and Optionee.  No waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition, whether of like or different nature.

 

(e)                                  Cancellation of Shares.  If the Company shall make available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Purchased Shares to be repurchased in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then from and after such time, the person from whom such shares are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such shares (other than the right to receive payment of such

 

8

 

consideration in accordance with this Agreement).  Such shares shall be deemed purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, and the Company shall be deemed the owner and holder of such shares, whether or not the stock certificates therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement.

 

(f)                                   Governing Law.  The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, excluding those laws that direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

 

(g)                                  Arbitration.  Any and all disputes or controversies arising out of this Agreement shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted in Middlesex County, Massachusetts in accordance with the then existing rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof; provided that nothing in this Section 12(g) shall prevent a party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain temporary relief pending resolution of the dispute through arbitration.  The parties hereby agree that service of any notices in the course of such arbitration at their respective addresses as provided for in Section 12(c) shall be valid and sufficient.

 

(h)                                 Optionee Undertaking.  Optionee hereby agrees to take whatever additional action and execute whatever additional documents the Company may deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on either Optionee or the Purchased Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(i)                                     Construction.  The Plan is incorporated herein by reference.  In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall prevail.  All decisions of the Plan Administrator with respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in this option.

 

(j)                                    Counterparts and Facsimile Signatures.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature (including signatures in Adobe PDF or similar format).

 

(k)                                 Successors and Assigns.

3.3.5                     As soon as possible and in any event within thirty (30) days after the Borrower knows or has reason to know that any event which would constitute a reportable event under ERISA with respect to any employee pension or other benefit plan subject to ERISA has occurred, or that the PBGC or the Borrower has instituted or will institute proceedings to terminate such plan, a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Borrower setting forth details as to such reportable event and the action which the Borrower proposes to take with respect thereto, together with a copy of any notice of such reportable event which may be required to be filed with the PBGC, or any notice delivered by the PBGC evidencing its intent to institute such proceedings, or any notice to the PBGC that the plan is to be terminated, as the case may be;

 

3.3.6                     Immediately upon any change of the Borrower’s independent public accountants, notification thereof and such further information as the Lender may reasonably request concerning the resignation, refusal to stand for reappointment after completion of the current audit or dismissal of such accountants;

 

3.3.7                     Such additional information and reports concerning the financial condition of Borrower, including, but not limited to, reports concerning Collateral, as the Lender commercially reasonably requests, all in form and detail reasonably acceptable to the Lender.

certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as the Lender may reasonably desire, except no more than twice a year (except during the pendency of an Event of Default and then as often as Lender reasonably requires); provided, however, that any confidential or proprietary information derived from the Borrower shall not be disclosed by the Lender to any unauthorized Persons unless required by law.

3.7                               Lease.  The Borrower agrees to materially comply with its obligations under the Lease.  Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Estoppel Certificate of the Landlord to the Lease in substantially the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Estoppel Certificate”) certifying, among other things, that the Lease is in full force and effect without any existing defaults known to Landlord, the description of the leased premises, the term thereof, the rent and any additional rent due thereunder and the dates to which paid, the amount of any security deposit paid under such lease, and a description of any leasehold improvements that the Landlord considers to be part of its real property.

With respect to the Purchased Equipment, and any other assets of Borrower that are taxable, Borrower shall, at the Loan closing, present evidence satisfactory to the Lender that all installments of taxes, in-lieu payments, service fees, and all assessments, and any other prior lien charges then due and payable, have been paid in full on or before the Loan closing or that such leasehold improvements, equipment, leasehold interests, and other assets are tax-exempt.

 

3.9                               Limitation on Business with Affiliates, Etc.  The Borrower will not enter into any transaction with an Affiliate except on terms no less favorable to the Borrower than would be usual and customary in similar transactions between Persons not affiliated with each other without the Lender’s consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

 

3.10                        Limitation on Dividends and Distributions.  The Borrower, except as otherwise provided in its Certificate of Incorporation, or other formation documents, and/or as needed for its stockholders to pay taxes on non-monetary gains, will not without the prior written consent of the Lender, (a) declare or pay any dividends in cash on any class of its stock or make any other distributions in cash to its stockholders or (b) directly or indirectly purchase, redeem or retire any of its stock.

3.11                        Change of Management.  If, at any time while the Note is outstanding, the individual then holding the office of Chief Executive Officer of the Borrower ceases to be employed in that capacity other than as a result of death or incapacity, a “Change of Management” shall be deemed to have occurred.  If a Change of Management occurs, the Borrower will (a) notify the Lender within five (5) business days thereof in writing, and (b) keep the Lender reasonably informed of the process and progress in filling any such vacant position(s).

 

3.12                        Insurance.

10

 

All insurance for which provision has been made in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this section: (i) shall be maintained in at least such amounts as the Lender may from time to time reasonably require; (ii) shall name the Lender as an additional insured; (iii) shall contain a provision that it shall not be cancelled or modified without at least thirty (30) days prior notice to the Lender; and (iv) shall be effected under a valid and enforceable policy or policies issued by insurers of recognized responsibility, except that the Borrower may effect worker’s compensation or similar insurance in respect of operations in any state or other jurisdiction either through an insurance fund operated by the state or other jurisdiction or by causing to be maintained a system or systems of self-insurance which is in accord with applicable laws.  The Borrower will deliver to the Lender, at any time upon its request, all insurance policies and will deliver to the Lender new policies thereof for any insurance about to expire at least ten (10) days prior to such expiration.

 

3.13                        Notices.  The Borrower will notify the Lender immediately in writing of any failure to comply with its agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.  Any such written notification will describe such failure or event in reasonable detail and be signed by the President of the Borrower.  So long as no notice is given, a continuing representation shall be in effect that no failure exists, and the Lender will be entitled to rely upon that continuing representation.

 

3.14                        Emerging Technology Fund.  The Loan meets, and the use of Advances will at all times meet, the requirements of a qualified investment under the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ Emerging Technology Fund (the “Fund”) created under Chapter 23 of the Massachusetts General Laws (the “Fund Law”) and that such use will at all times generate a benefit to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  There shall be at all times, until the Obligations are repaid in full, at least two private parties, including the Borrower, with funds at risk and/or liable for repayment in the financing subject hereof as required by the Fund Law.

The Borrower will (i) fund any of its Employee Pension Benefit Plans in accordance with no less than the minimum funding standards of 29 U.S.C.A. 1082 (Section 302 of ERISA); and (ii) furnish the Lender, promptly after the filing of the same, with copies of any reports or other statements filed with the United States Department of Labor or the Internal Revenue Service with respect to any such Plan.

 

3.17                        Minimum Cash Balance.  Borrower shall maintain at all times a minimum cash balance of $1,000,000 on Borrower’s balance sheet at all times.

 

3.18                        Equipment Purchases.  Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to finance no more than eighty-five percent (85%) of the invoice costs of new equipment purchased inclusive of new upgrade equipment purchased in November 2010.

 

11

 

3.19                        Warrant.  On the Closing Date, Borrower will grant and issue a Warrant to the Lender granting Lender the right to purchase from Borrower 16,000 shares of validly issued Series D Preferred Stock of the Borrower with the exercise price per share equal to $6.00.  The term of the Warrant shall be ten (10) years (the “Warrant Term”), provided that, in the event of an IPO, the Warrant Term shall be the later to occur of the (10) years or five (5) years from the date of the IPO and the Warrant shall survive termination of the Loan for any reason.

The Warrant shall contain customary cashless exercise rights.  The Series D Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall have the same registration and anti-dilution rights as those shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued in recent equity financings.

3.23                        Negative Covenants.  The Borrower further covenants and agrees that, so long as any Obligations remain outstanding, it will comply, at all times with the following negative covenants unless the Lender shall otherwise have agreed in writing:

 

(a)                                 The Borrower shall not sell, offer to sell, lease, or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein except for (i) equipment which is replaced with new equipment; (ii) Collateral which is otherwise substituted by the Lender (and which the Lender has obtained a first position perfected security interest in) or (iii) Permitted Transfers.

 

(b)                                 Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, the Borrower shall not terminate its existence, dissolve, wind up, or liquidate its business.

 

(c)                                  The Borrower shall not cease the Operations at the Project Location without the Lender’s consent; provided, however, the Borrower may transfer the lease to another location within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in accordance with Section 3.7 hereto, nor shall the Borrower move Operations from the Project Location to a location outside of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

 

12

 

(d)                                 The Borrower shall not grant a subordinate security interest in any Collateral to which Lender is granted a first priority security interest, without Lender’s prior written consent.

Such consent shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto.

 

SECTION 4

 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BORROWER

 

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender, and the representations and warranties are continuing representations so long as any Obligations remain outstanding and will be deemed repeated and confirmed at the time of each request for an Advance under the Loan as though made at and as of such date, as follows:

 

4.1                               Business, Etc.  The Borrower is a corporation organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is registered to do business as a foreign corporation in each state where the Borrower is required to be so registered, except where the failure to so qualify would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Borrower has adequate authority and has all necessary material Permits to carry on its business and is entitled to own its property and to carry on its business, all as and in the places where its property is now owned or operated and its business is conducted.  The Borrower is not a member of any partnership or joint venture, and, as of the Closing Date, the Borrower has no subsidiaries other than those listed in Schedule 4.1 attached hereto.

 

4.2                               Compliance with Legal Requirements/Litigation.  The Borrower is in compliance in all material respects with all Legal Requirements governing the conduct of its business.  The Borrower shall diligently pursue and obtain all material Permits necessary for the conduct of its business and the use of its properties and assets, as presently conducted, owned and used or as proposed to be conducted, owned and used.  The Borrower has not received any notice, not heretofore complied with, from any Governmental Authority or any insurance, accreditation or inspection body that any of its properties, facilities, equipment, procedures or practices fails to comply in any material respect with any applicable Legal Requirement, any Permit or any other requirement of any such authority or body.  No authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption of or filing or registration with any Governmental Authority is or will be necessary to the valid execution or delivery of, or for the performance by the Borrower of its obligations under, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or other instrument provided for or contemplated by this Agreement, with the exception of consents and approvals heretofore obtained.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.2 attached hereto, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or its property in any court or before or by any Governmental Authority.

 

13

 

The Borrower is not in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority.

 

4.3                               Capacity.  The Borrower is authorized under all applicable laws to make and perform the Loan Documents, to which it is a party, and all action on its part required for the making and performance of the Loan Documents, to which it is a party, has been taken.  Each of the Loan Documents is the valid and enforceable obligation of the Borrower in accordance with its respective terms, subject to laws of general application affecting creditors’ rights.  Neither the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, nor compliance with the terms thereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of any provisions of the Borrower’s organizational documents or of any agreement to which the Borrower is now a party or by which it is bound, or constitute a default under any of the foregoing, or result in the creation of any encumbrance upon any property of the Borrower under the terms of any such agreement.

 

4.4                               Disclosure.  None of the Loan Documents and no certificate or statement furnished to the Lender by the Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading.  There is no fact presently in existence which now affects or which the Borrower believes is likely in the future (so far as the Borrower can now reasonably foresee) to affect, in a way which is both material and adverse, the business or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower its property or the property subject to the Leases, which fact has not been set forth in this Agreement or in a certificate or statement furnished to the Lender by the Borrower.

 

4.5                               Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Loan are to be used for equipment purchases.  No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin security” as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

 

4.6                               Taxes.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6 attached hereto, the Borrower has filed all required tax returns and paid all applicable Federal, state and local taxes, other than (a) taxes not yet due or which may be paid in the future without penalty, or (b) taxes which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower has established adequate reserves.  The Borrower has no knowledge of any deficiency or additional assessment in connection with any taxes not provided for on its books.

 

4.7                               Title to Assets.  The Borrower has good, clear and marketable title to the Collateral, free of any mortgages, pledges, charges, liens, security interests or other encumbrances other than Permitted Liens.  All Collateral owned by the Borrower is in good condition and working order (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and has not been damaged without restoration to Lender’s satisfaction.

 

4.8                               Employee Benefits Plans.

 

4.8.1                     No “reportable event” (as defined in Section 4043(b) of ERISA) (whether or not waived) has occurred or is continuing with respect to any “employee pension

 

14

 

benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA) maintained for employees of the Borrower (a “Pension Benefit Plan”).

 

4.8.2                     No prohibited transaction (within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA) has occurred with respect to any Pension Benefit Plan or any other “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA) (together with a Pension Benefit Plan, an “Employee Plan”) maintained for employees of the Borrower and covered by Part 4 of the Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA.

 

4.8.3                     With respect to each Pension Benefit Plan, the amount for which the Borrower would be liable pursuant to the provisions of Sections 4062, 4063 or 4064 of ERISA would be zero if such plans terminated on the date of this Agreement.  The accumulated benefit obligation under all defined benefit plans of the Borrower was less than the fair value of the assets of those plans.

 

4.8.4                     The Borrower is not now, nor has been during the preceding five (5) years, a contributing employer to a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) (a “Multiemployer Plan”).  The Borrower has not (a) ceased operations at a facility so as to become subject to the provisions of Section 4062(f) of ERISA, (b) withdrawn as a substantial employer so as to become subject to the provisions of Section 4063 of ERISA, (c) ceased making contributions on or before the date hereof to any Pension Benefit Plan subject to the provisions of Section 4064(a) of ERISA to which the Borrower made contributions during any of the five (5) years prior to the date hereof, (d) incurred or caused to occur a “complete withdrawal” (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA) or a “partial withdrawal” (within the meaning of Section 4205 of ERISA) from a Multiemployer Plan that is a Pension Benefit Plan so as to incur withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA (without regard to subsequent reduction or waiver of such liability under Sections 4207 or 4208 of ERISA), or (e) been a party to any transaction or agreement under which the provisions of Section 4204 of ERISA were applicable.

 

4.8.5                     No notice of intent to terminate a Pension Benefit Plan has been filed, nor has any Plan been terminated, pursuant to the provisions of Section 4041(f) of ERISA.

 

4.8.6                     The PBGC has not instituted proceedings to terminate (or appoint a trustee to administer) a Pension Benefit Plan and no event has occurred or condition exists which might constitute grounds under the provisions of Section 4042 of ERISA for the termination of (or the appointment of a trustee to administer) any such Plan.

 

4.8.7                     The Borrower does not maintain and has never maintained any Pension Benefit Plan that is subject to the provisions of Title I, Subtitle B, Part 3 of ERISA.

 

4.8.8                     There are no actions, suits or claims pending (other than routine claims for benefits) or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, which could reasonably be expected to be asserted, against any Employee Plan or the assets of any such plan.  No civil or criminal action brought pursuant to the provisions of Title I, Subtitle B, Part 5 of ERISA is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against any fiduciary of

 

15

 

any Employee Plan.  None of the Employee Plans or any fiduciary thereof has been the direct or indirect subject of an audit, investigation or examination by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency.

 

4.8.9                     All of the Employee Plans comply currently, and have complied in the past, in all material respects both as to form and operation, with their terms and with the provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations (including, but not limited to, the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and all subsequent federal legislation affecting qualified plans generally); all necessary governmental approvals for the Employee Plans have been obtained and a favorable determination as to the qualification under Section 401(a) of such Code of each of the Pension Benefit Plans and each amendment thereto has been made by the Internal Revenue Service and a recognition of exemption from federal income taxation under Section 510(a) of the Code of each of the funded welfare benefit plans within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA has been made by the Internal Revenue Service, and nothing has occurred since the date of each such determination or recognition letter that would adversely affect such qualification.

 

4.9                               Financial Statements.  The Financial Statements are complete and accurate and fairly present the financial condition of the Borrower as at the dates thereof and for the periods covered thereby, and were prepared in accordance with GAAP (subject in the case of quarterly Financial Statements, to year end adjustments and the absence of footnotes).  The Borrower has no liability, contingent or otherwise, which is not disclosed in the Financial Statements or in any notes thereto that could materially adversely affect the financial condition of the Borrower.  The following representations are true on the date of this Agreement and shall be true at the date of each Advance, in each case since the date of the most recently delivered financial statements: (a) there has been no Material Adverse Effect; (b) neither the business, condition, or operations of the Borrower nor any of its properties or assets has been materially adversely affected as the result of any legislative or regulatory change, any revocation or change in any Permit, or any other event or occurrence, whether or not insured against; and (c) except as disclosed in writing to Lender, the Borrower has not experienced any material controversy or problem with its employees or with any labor organization that the Borrower reasonably determines may have a Material Adverse Effect on the business of the Borrower.

 

4.10                        Environmental Compliance.  To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower has not owned, occupied or operated a site on which any Hazardous Substances were or are stored without compliance with all Environmental Laws, or disposed of, transported, or arranged for the transport of any Hazardous Substances without compliance with all Environmental Laws, or caused or been legally responsible for any release of any Hazardous Substances.  To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower and each of its properties, whether or not subject to a Lease, is now in compliance with all Environmental Laws.

 

4.11                        Incorporated Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in the other Loan Documents are hereby incorporated herein by reference, and all of such representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date made (except for changes which are expressly permitted by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

(Form of Warrant)

 

THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES PURCHASABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND ARE “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE ACT.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISTRIBUTED OR DISPOSED OF EXCEPT (I) IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT, (II) IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144, OR (III) PURSUANT TO AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION OR COMPLIANCE IS NOT REQUIRED AS TO SAID SALE, OFFER, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISTRIBUTION OR DISPOSITION.

 

THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES PURCHASABLE HEREUNDER ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH HEREIN.

 

WARRANT TO PURCHASE
 SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK OF
 CONFORMIS, INC.

 

(Void after            ,2021)

 

This certifies that Massachusetts Development Finance Agency, a body corporate and politic created under and acting pursuant to authority derived from Chapter 23G of the Massachusetts General Laws, as amended, or rightful assigns (the “Holder”), for value received, is entitled to purchase from ConforMIS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), subject to the terms set forth of this Warrant (this “Warrant”) issued as of             ,2011 (the “Effective Date”), a maximum of 16,000 fully-paid and nonassessable shares (subject to adjustment as provided herein) of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) for cash at a price of $6.00 per share (the “Exercise Price”) (subject to adjustment as provided herein) at any time or from time to time up to and including 5:00 p.m. (Massachusetts time) on the earlier of (i) a sale or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (other than a sale or exchange to a subsidiary corporation of the Company or a sale or exchange effected for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction) or the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction shall own less than a majority of the voting securities or power of the surviving entity immediately subsequent to such transaction (other than a merger or consolidation effected for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction), or (ii)            ,2021, such earliest day being referred to herein as the “Expiration Date,” upon surrender to the Company at its principal office (or at such other location as the Company may advise the Holder in writing) of this Warrant properly endorsed with the Form of Subscription attached hereto duly filled in and signed and upon payment in cash or by check of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares for which this Warrant is being exercised determined in accordance with the provisions hereof; provided however, that if the Company conducts an initial underwritten public offering of its common stock (the “Common Stock”) pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as

 

 

amended (the “Act”), prior to the occurrence of (i) and (ii) above, the Expiration Date shall instead be the date five years after the initial closing of such initial public offering.  The Exercise Price is subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 of this Warrant.

 

This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

1.                                       Exercise, Issuance of Certificates, Reduction in Number of Warrant Shares.

 

1.1.                              General.  This Warrant is exercisable at the option of the Holder of record hereof on or prior to the Expiration Date, at any time or from time to time following its issuance, for all or any part of the Warrant Shares (but not for a fraction of a share) which may be purchased hereunder, as that number may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3 of this Warrant.  The Company agrees that the Warrant Shares purchased under this Warrant shall be and are deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, properly endorsed, the completed and executed Form of Subscription delivered, and payment made for such Warrant Shares.  Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, together with any other securities or property to which the Holder hereof is entitled upon such exercise, shall be delivered to the Holder hereof by the Company at the Company’s expense as soon as practicable after the rights represented by this Warrant have been so exercised.  In case of a purchase of less than all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant and execute and deliver to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor for the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant surrendered upon such purchase.  Each stock certificate so delivered shall be registered in the name of such Holder.

 

1.2.                              Net Issue Exercise of Warrant.  Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the fair market value of one share of Series D Preferred Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, Holder may elect to receive shares of Series D Preferred Stock equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Form of Subscription in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock computed using the following formula:

 

	
 
    	
X=
    	
Y   (A-B)
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
    A
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Where
    	
X=
    	
the   number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be issued to Holder
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
Y=
    	
the   number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock purchasable under this   Warrant or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion   of this Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation)
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
A=
    	
the   fair market value of one share of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock   (at the date of such calculation)
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
B=
    	
the   Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)
    

 

 

For purposes of the above calculation, the fair market value of one share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in the good faith exercise of its reasonable business judgment; provided, however, that if at the time of such exercise the Company’s Common Stock is listed on any established stock exchange or a national market system, then the fair market value per share shall be the product of (i) the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock quoted in the over-the-counter market summary or the last reported sale price of the Common Stock or the closing price quoted on the NASDAQ National Market System or on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, as published in The Wall Street Journal for the five trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event this Warrant is exercised in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of Common Stock, the fair market value per share shall be the product of (a) the per share offering price of the Common Stock to the public in the Company’s initial public offering, and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise.

 

2.                                       Warrant Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares.  The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares, and all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Warrant Shares, will, upon issuance and, if applicable, payment of the applicable Exercise Price, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of all preemptive rights, liens and encumbrances, except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws.  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Series D Preferred Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of the rights to purchase all Warrant Shares granted pursuant to this Warrant, such number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock as shall, from time to time, be sufficient therefor.  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the conversion of all of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall, from time to time, be sufficient therefor.

 

3.                                       Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares.  The Exercise Price and the total number of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events described in this Section 3.  Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

 

 

3.1.                              Subdivision or Combination of Stock.  In the event the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be increased by a stock dividend, stock split, subdivision or other similar transaction occurring after the Effective Date into a greater number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder proportionately increased.  Conversely, in the event the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be decreased by reverse stock split, combination, consolidation or other similar transaction occurring after the Effective Date into a lesser number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder proportionately decreased.

 

3.2.                              Reclassification.  If any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) (a “Reclassification Event”) shall be effected in such a way that holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive other stock or securities of the Company, then, as a condition of such Reclassification Event, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby) such other stock or securities of the Company as may be issued with respect to or in exchange for that number of outstanding shares of such Series D Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby.  In any Reclassification Event, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price and of the number of Warrant Shares), shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock or securities of the Company thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof.

 

3.3.                              Notice of Adjustment.  Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price or any increase or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares, the Company shall give written notice thereof, by first class mail postage prepaid, addressed to the registered Holder at the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company.  The notice shall be prepared and signed by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

 

4.                                       Registrable Securities.  Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Warrant Shares shall, on the terms set forth therein, be “Registrable Securities” under that certain Amended and Restated Information and Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June 18, 2008, as it may be amended or restated form time to time (the “Rights Agreement”), to which the Company and certain of its stockholders are parties, and the Holder shall be entitled to all rights granted to the other holders of Registrable Securities thereunder.  By its receipt of this Warrant, the Holder agrees, upon exercise of this Warrant, to be bound by the Rights Agreement as an “Investor” thereunder and to execute a counterpart signature page thereto.

 

 

5.                                       No Voting or Dividend Rights.  Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the holder hereof the right to vote or to consent to receive notice as a stockholder of the Company on any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company.  No dividends or interest shall be payable or accrued in respect of this Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the shares purchasable hereunder until, and only to the extent that, this Warrant shall have been exercised.

 

6.                                       Compliance with Securities Act; Transferability of Warrant; Disposition of Warrant Shares and Common Stock.

 

6.1.                              Compliance with Securities Act.  The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant, the Warrant Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Warrant Shares are being acquired for investment and that it shall not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, any Warrant Shares or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Warrant Shares except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Act or any applicable state securities laws.  This Warrant, the Warrant Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Warrant Shares (unless registered under the Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND ARE “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE ACT.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISTRIBUTED OR DISPOSED OF EXCEPT (I) IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT, (II) IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144, OR (III) PURSUANT TO AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION OR COMPLIANCE IS NOT REQUIRED AS TO SAID SALE, OFFER, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISTRIBUTION OR DISPOSITION.”

 

6.2.                              Accredited Investor; Access to Information; Pre-Existing Relationship.  Holder presently qualifies and will as of any exercise of this Warrant qualify as an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Act.  The state or, if Holder does not reside in the United States, the country of residency of Holder (or, in the case of a partnership, corporation or other entity, such entity’s principal place of business) for purposes of the Company’s compliance with applicable securities laws is the state or country listed in Holder’s address as set forth on the signature pages to this Warrant.  Holder has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, appropriate executive officers of the Company with respect to the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and with respect to the business, affairs, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.  Holder has had access to such financial and other information as is

 

 

necessary in order for Holder to make a fully informed decision as to investment in the Company, and has had the opportunity to obtain any additional information necessary to verify any of such information to which Holder has had access.  Holder further represents and warrants that the Holder has either (a) a pre-existing relationship with the Company or one or more of its officers or directors consisting of personal or business contacts of a nature and duration which enable the Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and general business and financial circumstances of the Company or the officer or director with whom such relationship exists or (b) such business or financial expertise as to be able to protect the Holder’s own interests in connection with the purchase of the Warrant Shares.

 

6.3.                              Warrant Transferable.  Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws under which this Warrant was purchased, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, without charge to the Holder (except for transfer taxes), upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed; provided, however, that the Holder shall notify the Company in writing in advance of any proposed transfer and shall not transfer this Warrant or any rights hereunder to any person or entity which is then engaged in a business that in the reasonable judgment of the Company is in direct competition with the Company.

 

6.4.                              Disposition of Warrant, Warrant Shares and Common Stock.  With respect to any offer, sale, or other disposition of this Warrant, any Warrant Shares, or of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Warrant Shares prior to registration of such shares, the Holder hereof and each subsequent Holder agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of such Holder’s counsel, if reasonably requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state law then in effect) of such Warrant, Warrant Shares or Common Stock, as the case may be, and indicating whether or not under the Act certificates for such Warrant, Warrant Shares or Common Stock to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to insure compliance with the Act.  Promptly upon receiving such written notice and opinion, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify such Holder that such Holder may sell or otherwise dispose of such Warrant, Warrant Shares or Common Stock, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company.  If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 6.4 that the opinion of the counsel for the Holder is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the Holder promptly after such determination has been made.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Warrant, Warrant Shares or Common Stock may be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 under the Act, provided that the Company shall have been furnished with such information as the Company may request to provide reasonable assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 have been satisfied.  Each certificate representing this Warrant, Warrant Shares or Common Stock thus transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to insure compliance with the Act, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel for the Holder, such legend is not required in order to insure compliance with the Act.  The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.

8.                                       Notices.  Any notice, request, or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder or to the Company hereunder shall be conclusively deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or delivery by courier, or on the first business day after transmission if sent by confirmed facsimile transmission or electronic mail transmission, or five business days after deposit in the United States mail, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed (1) if to the Company, as set forth below the Company’s name on the signature pages of this Warrant, and (2) if to the Holder, at the Holder’s address as set forth below the Holder’s name on the signature pages of this Warrant, or at such other address as the Company or the Holder may designate by 10 business days’ advance written notice to the other.

11.                                 Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay the Holder entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to such fraction (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) multiplied by the difference between the then effective Exercise Price and the fair market value of one Warrant Share, rounded down to the nearest whole cent; provided, however, that no payment of less than $10.00 shall be required.

 

12.                                 No Impairment.  The Company will not, by charter amendment or by reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of

WHEREAS, the Firms have loaned certain sums to the Borrower (the “Firm Loans”) as evidenced by those certain Loan and Security Agreements dated as of August 11, 2009 and February 16, 2011, respectively, as amended from time to time (the “Firm Agreements”), and various related documents, existing and to be entered into hereafter (together with the Firm Agreements, the “Firm Documents”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Firm Documents, the Borrower has granted to each Firm security interests in all the personal property assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, of the Borrower (the “Collateral”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Lender has loaned certain sums to the Borrower (the “MDFA Loan”) as evidenced by that certain Loan Agreement as of the date hereof, as amended from time to time, (the “MDFA Agreement”) and various related documents, existing and to be entered into hereafter (together with the MDFA Agreement, “MDFA Documents”).  One of the documents comprising the MDFA Documents is that certain Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof granted by the Borrower in favor of the Lender (the “Security Agreement”) encumbering certain equipment owned by the Borrower and described on Schedule I attached hereto (the “Equipment”); and

 

WHEREAS, each Firm is willing to consent to the Lender acquiring a senior, first priority security interest in the Equipment; and

 

WHEREAS, the Lender is willing to consent to each Firm acquiring a subordinate security interest in the Equipment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Each Firm hereby consents to the security interest of the Lender in the Equipment and the parties hereto agree that such Firm’s security interest in the Equipment is subordinate to the security interest of the Lender in the Equipment.  The parties agree that: (a) the security

 

 

interest of the Lender granted in the Equipment to secure the MDFA Loan shall in all cases be superior to, and entitled to priority over, each Firm’s security interest in the Equipment to secure the Firm Loans; and (b) the security interests of the Firms granted in the other Collateral (excluding the Equipment) to secure the Firm Loans shall in all cases be superior to, and entitled to priority over, the Lender’s security interest, if any, in such other Collateral to secure the MDFA Loan.

 

2.                                      At all times the Lender may exercise any and all of its rights and remedies under the MDFA Documents with respect to the Equipment only (and no other Collateral).  Nothing herein will in any way delay or hinder the Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies under the MDFA Documents with respect to the Equipment only.  Neither Firm may exercise its rights with respect to the Equipment, unless the MDFA Loan has been indefeasibly paid in full or such Firm has received the prior written consent of the Lender.  The Lender may not exercise its rights with respect to any Collateral (other than the Equipment), unless the Firm Loans have been indefeasibly paid in full or the Lender has received the prior written consent of the Firms.

 

3.                                      The Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, either Firm, (i) grant any indulgence, discharge of indebtedness or release of the Equipment; (ii) alter, amend, cancel, waive or modify any term or condition of the MDFA Loan; and (iii) increase the principal amount of MDFA Loan in accordance with the terms of the Firm Documents.  The Firms may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Lender, (i) grant any indulgence, discharge of indebtedness or release of the Collateral (other than the Equipment); (ii) alter, amend, cancel, waive or modify any term or condition of the Firm Loans; and (iii) increase the principal amount of the Firm Loans in accordance with the terms of the MDFA Documents.

 

4.                                      Each Firm agrees that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under and as defined in the MDFA Documents, such Firm shall not object to the Lender taking possession of the Equipment and liquidating the Equipment.  The Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under and as defined in the Firm Documents, the Lender shall not object to the Firms taking possession of the Collateral (other than the Equipment) and liquidating such Collateral.

 

5.                                      The Firms and the Lender may each assign its rights under the Firm Documents and the MDFA Documents, as applicable, provided such assignment is made subject to this Agreement.

 

6.                                      The provisions of this Agreement are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Firms and the Lender with respect to the Equipment and the other Collateral and, except as specifically provided herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to modify or impair any obligations of the Borrower with respect to the Firm Loans or the MDFA Loan, as applicable.

 

7.                                      This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one Agreement.

SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT

 

WHEREAS, ConforMIS, INC., a Delaware corporation having a principal place of business at 11 North Avenue, Burlington, Massachusetts 01803 (the “Borrower”) is indebted to those certain creditors listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto (each, a “Creditor”, collectively, the “Creditors”) in the principal amount of $8,000,000; and

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested MASSACHUSETTS DEVELOPMENT FINANCE AGENCY, a body corporate and politic created under and acting pursuant to authority derived from Chapter 23G of the Massachusetts General Laws, as amended, and having a principal place of business at 160 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110 (the “Lender”) to grant financial accommodations to the Borrower, and the Lender has indicated that it is unwilling to do so unless the Borrower and the Creditors shall join in this Agreement and the Creditors shall subordinate, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, the indebtedness hereinbefore referred to and also all other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Creditors, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising (the “Subordinated Debt”) to all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising (the “Lender Debt”);

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and as an inducement to the Lender to grant financial accommodations to the Borrower, whether by loan or advance or extension of time for the payment of Lender Debt or otherwise, and in consideration of the granting thereof, the Borrower and the Creditors warrant to and covenant with the Lender as follows:

 

1.                                      Until all Lender Debt shall have been paid in full, the Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, make any payment of principal or interest on account of or transfer any collateral for any part of the Subordinated Debt, no Creditor shall demand or accept from Borrower or any other person any such payment or collateral nor cancel, set off or otherwise discharge any part of the Subordinated Debt and neither Borrower nor any Creditor shall otherwise take or permit any action prejudicial to or inconsistent with the Lender’s priority position over the Creditors created by this Agreement.

 

2.                                      Each Creditor hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to the Lender the Subordinated Debt, as applicable, whether evidenced by negotiable or non-negotiable instruments, securities or other writings, book entries or otherwise, together with any collateral therefor. The indebtedness is recorded on the books of the Borrower.

 

3.                                      No Creditor will commence or join with any other creditor or creditors of the Borrower in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings against the Borrower.  At any meeting of creditors of the Borrower or in the event of any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, for the distribution, division or application of all or part of the assets of the Borrower or the proceeds thereof, whether such proceeding be for the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Borrower or its business, a receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a proceeding by or against the Borrower

 

 

for relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency law or any law relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension or otherwise, if all Lender Debt has not been paid in full at the time, the Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized at any such meeting or in any such proceeding:

 

(a)                                 To enforce claims comprising Subordinated Debt either in its own name or the name or names of any Creditor, by proof of debt, proof of claim, suit or otherwise;

 

(b)                                 To collect any assets of the Borrower distributed, divided or applied by way of dividend or payment, or any such securities issued, on account of Subordinated Debt and apply the same, or the proceeds of any realization upon the same that the Lender in its discretion elects to effect, to Lender Debt until all Lender Debt shall have been paid in full, rendering any surplus to the Creditors;

 

(c)                                  To vote claims comprising Subordinated Debt to accept or reject any plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension; and

 

(d)                                 To take generally any action in connection with any such meeting or proceeding which the Creditors might otherwise take.

 

4.                                      Should any payment on account of or any collateral for any part of the Subordinated Debt be received by any of the Creditors, such payment or collateral shall be delivered forthwith to the Lender by the recipient for application to Lender Debt, in the form received except for the addition of any endorsement or assignment necessary to effect transfer of all rights therein to the Lender.  The Lender is irrevocably authorized to supply any required endorsement or assignment which may have been omitted.  Until so delivered any such payment or collateral shall be held by the recipient in trust for the Lender and shall not be commingled with other funds or property of the recipient.

 

5.                                      No part of the Subordinated Debt is evidenced by any instrument, security or other writing which has not previously been or is not concurrently being deposited with the Lender; each Creditor is the lawful owner of the Subordinated Debt, as applicable, and no part thereof has been assigned to or subordinated or subjected to any other security interest in favor of anyone other than the Lender.  Until all Lender Debt has been paid in full, the Borrower shall not issue any instrument, security or other writing evidencing any part of the Subordinated Debt or amend any existing instrument, security or other writing except at the request of and in the manner requested by the Lender; and no Creditor shall assign or subordinate any part of the Subordinated Debt, as applicable, except to or in favor of the Lender.

 

6.                                      The Lender is hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Agreement, whether or not the Borrower shall have complied with the provisions hereof applicable to it, at any time when any of the Creditors shall have failed to comply with any provision hereof applicable to it.  Each Creditor hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which might be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance hereof in any action brought therefor by the Lender.  Each Creditor further waives presentment, notice and protest in connection with all negotiable instruments evidencing Lender

 

 

Debt or Subordinated Debt to which it may be a party, notice of the acceptance of this Agreement by the Lender, notice of any loan made, extension granted or other action taken in reliance hereon and all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Agreement, Lender Debt or Subordinated Debt; assent to any renewal, extension or postponement of the time of payment of Lender Debt or any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral therefor and to the addition or release of any person primarily or secondarily liable thereon; and agree to the provisions of any instrument, security or other writing evidencing Lender Debt.

 

7.                                      The Borrower and the Creditors shall execute and deliver to the Lender such further instruments and shall take such further action as the Lender may at any time or times reasonably request in order to carry out the provisions and intent of this Agreement.

 

8.                                      Upon (i) the irrevocable payment in full of all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender, and (ii) the termination of all agreements under which the Lender is obligated to extend credit, to make advances, loans or other financial accommodations to the Borrower, the Creditors (acting unanimously), by written notice to the Lender, terminate this Agreement.  If all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender is at any time or times hereafter paid in full and thereafter the Borrower again becomes indebted to the Lender, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply to such new indebtedness unless, before the same is incurred the Creditors notify the Lender in writing to the contrary.  If, in reliance upon this Agreement, the Lender grants loans or extensions or takes other action, after the termination of this Agreement by the Creditors, but prior to the receipt by the Lender of written notice of such termination, the Lender’s rights shall be the same as they would have been had such termination not occurred, and the Borrower and the Creditors shall indemnify the Lender and save it harmless from and against any loss, cost, liability or expense which it may have incurred or suffered by reason of any action so taken by it.

 

9.                                      If any warranty herein contained shall prove to have been materially false when made or in the event of a breach by the Borrower or the Creditors in the performance of any of the terms hereof, the Lender may, at its option, declare all Lender Debt to be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, notwithstanding any time or credit otherwise allowed.

 

10.                               The rights granted to the Lender hereunder are solely for its protection and nothing herein contained shall impose on the Lender any duties with respect to any property of the Borrower or the Creditors received hereunder beyond reasonable care in its custody and preservation while in the Lender’s possession.  The Lender shall have no duty to preserve rights against prior parties in any instrument or chattel paper received hereunder.

 

11.                               This Agreement is intended to take effect as a sealed instrument, shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Creditors, their respective executors, administrators, other legal representatives, successors and assigns, shall inure to the benefit of the Lender, its successors and assigns and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

LANDLORD’S AGREEMENT, WAIVER, AND CONSENT

 

WHEREAS, CONFORMIS, INC. (the “Tenant”) has or is about to enter into certain financing agreements with MASSACHUSETTS DEVELOPMENT FINANCE AGENCY, its successors and assigns (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Lender has been or may be granted a security interest in certain property of the Tenant; and

 

WHEREAS, Tenant is the tenant, pursuant to a lease agreement by and between Tenant and the undersigned (the “Landlord”) dated as of August 26, 2010 (the “Lease”), of certain demised premises contained in the building located at the following address:

 

11 North Ave
 Burlington, MA 01803

 

and more particularly described in the Lease (the “Premises”);

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the Landlord agrees, for as long as Tenant remains indebted to the Lender, as follows:

 

(a)                                 Landlord acknowledges and agrees that the personal property of Tenant (which for purposes hereof shall not include computer wiring, telephone wiring and systems, and demountable partitions) in which the Lender has been granted a security interest (the “Lender Collateral”) may from time to time be located on the Premises;

 

(b)                                 Landlord subordinates, waives, releases and relinquishes unto the Lender, its successors or assigns, all right, title and interest, if any, which the Landlord may otherwise claim in and to the Lender Collateral, except as provided in subparagraph (d) hereinbelow;

 

(c)                                  Upon providing the Landlord with at least five (5) business days’ prior written notice that Tenant is in default of its obligations to the Lender, the Lender shall then have the right to enter the Premises during business hours for the purpose of removing said Lender Collateral, provided (i) the Lender completes the removal of said Lender Collateral within thirty (30) business days following said first written notice of default, and (ii) the Lender restores any part of the Premises which may be damaged by such

 

 

removal to its condition prior to such removal in an expeditious manner not to exceed thirty (30) business days following said first written notice of default;

 

(d)                                 Upon receipt of written notice from Landlord of the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, the Lender shall have thirty (30) business days to enter the Premises during business hours, remove said Lender Collateral, and restore any part of the Premises which may be damaged by such removal to its condition prior to such removal.  If the Lender fails to so remove the Lender Collateral, the Lender agrees that the Lender Collateral shall thereupon be deemed subject to the yield up provisions of the Lease, so the Landlord may treat the Lender Collateral as abandoned, deem it Landlord’s property, if Landlord so elects, and retain or remove and dispose of it, all as provided in the Lease;

 

All notices and other communications under this Landlord’s Consent and Waiver shall be in writing, and shall be delivered by hand, by a nationally recognized commercial next day delivery service, or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and sent to the following addresses:
