Article III.
Provision of the Notes
Section 1.01The Notes.  The Notes shall be in the aggregate original principal amount of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000).  The Notes shall be dated the Closing Date.  The 
17

aggregate amount of the Notes shall, subject to the provisions for mandatory prepayment and acceleration contained herein, mature and be payable in full on the Final Maturity Date.
Section 1.02Interest.  
(a)Interest shall be payable on the principal amount of the Notes, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Laws on any increase thereof as provided below, at the LIBOR Rate plus 6.0%, payable quarterly in cash on each Interest Payment Date.
(b)Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the Closing Date and shall accrue from day to day and shall be payable on (i) each Interest Payment Date (commencing on February [22], 2022) in arrears; (ii) the date of any prepayment in accordance with Article XI hereof (but only with respect to the principal amount of the Notes then prepaid) and (iii) maturity of the Notes, whether by acceleration or otherwise.  All computations of interest hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
(c)[Reserved].
(d)The Purchaser and the Company intend to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws and other applicable Laws from time to time in effect.  In furtherance thereof the Company stipulates and agrees that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by applicable Laws from time to time in effect (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”).  Neither the Company nor any present or future guarantors, endorsers, or other Persons hereafter becoming liable for payment of any Obligation under the Documents shall ever be liable for unearned interest thereon or shall ever be required to pay interest thereon in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, and the provisions of this Section 3.02(d) shall control over all other provisions of the Documents which may be in conflict or apparent conflict herewith.  The Purchaser expressly disavow any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of any Obligation under the Documents is accelerated.  If (i) the maturity of any Obligation under the Documents is accelerated for any reason; (ii) any Obligation under the Documents is prepaid and as a result any amounts held to constitute interest are determined to be in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate; or (iii) Purchaser or any other holder of any or all of the Obligations under the Documents shall otherwise collect money which is determined to constitute interest which would otherwise increase the interest on any or all of the Obligations under the Documents to an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, then all sums determined to constitute interest in excess of such legal limit shall, without penalty, be promptly applied to reduce the then outstanding principal of the related Obligations or, at Purchaser’s or holder’s option, promptly returned to the Company or the other payor thereof upon such determination.  In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific circumstance, exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Company and the Purchaser (and any other payors thereof) shall to the greatest extent permitted under applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest; (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the instruments evidencing the Obligations in accordance with the amounts outstanding from time to time 
18

thereunder.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3.02(d), if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final order that the rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate as in effect from time to time.  In no event shall the total interest received by Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount which Purchaser could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate.  If the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made.  As used in this Section 3.02(d) only, the term “applicable law” means the applicable Laws of the State of New York or the applicable Laws of the United States, whichever applicable Laws allow the greater interest, as such applicable Laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.
Section 1.03Default Interest.  So long as any Default or Event of Default relating to or specified in clause (a) or (f) of Section 10.01 shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall pay, in cash on demand from time to time, interest to the extent permitted by applicable Laws at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate in Section 3.02(a) on (1) the overdue outstanding principal amount of the Notes and (2) any overdue interest thereon, and any other overdue fees and expenses reimbursable hereunder and other overdue Obligations under the Documents.
Section 1.04No Rights as Shareholders. Holders of Notes as such (prior to any conversion of the Notes made in accordance with Article VI or Article XI hereof), will not have any rights as shareholders of the Company (including voting rights and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on Common Shares).  
Section 1.05No Redemption. Neither the Company nor any Holder shall have the right to effect a mandatory prepayment of the Notes other than in accordance with Section 11.01 of this Agreement.
Section 1.06Scheduled Repayment.  Any and all principal of the Notes remaining unpaid, together with all interest accrued but unpaid thereon, automatically and unconditionally shall be due and payable in full in cash on the Final Maturity Date. 
Section 1.07Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds of the sale of the Notes to fund its working capital needs and for general corporate purposes. 
Section 1.08Security and Ranking. The Notes shall constitute direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Company which shall at all times rank pari passu to the other unsecured obligations of the Company (except for claims which are mandatorily preferred by laws of general application to companies) and be subordinated to the Senior Finance Documents pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement. Additionally, the Notes will not be guaranteed by, or benefit from any security from, any subsidiaries or affiliates of the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Document, this Agreement and the Documents are subject to the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement, the Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement 
19

shall prevail. The Holder agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 1.09Effect of Benchmark Transition Event. 
(a)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Company and the Holders may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the such amendment is made. No replacement of LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section titled “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event” will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. 
(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time with the consent of the Holders and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Company will promptly notify the Holders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Company, in each case with the consent of the Holders, pursuant to this Section titled “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event,” including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this this Section 3.09.

In addition, any Holder, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Company as will enable the Company to determine whether or not such Holder is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements (including with respect to FATCA).

Article VI.
Conversion
23

Section 1.01Right to Convert.  Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, Holder shall have the right, at Holder’s option, at any time during the applicable Conversion Period, to convert the entire principal amount of the Notes (in full and not in part) into Common Shares, at the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date for the Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary:
(a)Notes may be surrendered for conversion only after the Open of Business and before the Close of Business on a day that is a Business Day;
(b)in no event may the Notes be converted after the Close of Business on the Business Day that is ten (10) Business Days before the Final Maturity Date;
(c)in no event will the Notes be converted unless and until all applicable waiting periods (and any extension thereof) prescribed by the HSR Act or any applicable foreign equivalent, if any, have expired or been terminated; and
(d)in no event will the Notes be converted and Common Shares issued in exchange unless and until all applicable consents, authorizations and/or permissions of any Governmental Authority  (including the Bermuda Monetary Authority) as required by applicable Laws have been obtained.
Section 1.02Conversion Procedure.
(a)In order to exercise the conversion right with respect to the Notes, Holder shall:
(i)complete and manually sign the conversion notice in the form set out in Exhibit B hereto (or a facsimile of such conversion notice) and deliver the same to the Company;
(ii)surrender the Note to the Company;
(iii)if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents,
(iv)if required pursuant to Section 6.06, pay any transfer taxes or duties; and
(v)if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date as required by Section 6.03(d). 
The date on which Holder satisfies all of the applicable requirements set forth above is the “Conversion Date”.
The conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to the Notes on the Conversion Date for such conversion, and the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Common Shares as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion.
(b)Each Common Share issued upon conversion of the Notes shall be subject to the Restricted Share Legend as set forth in Section 2.08.
24

Section 1.03Settlement upon Conversion Into Common Shares.
(a)Upon conversion of the Notes, the type and amount of consideration due in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes will be a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate, rounded down to the nearest whole Common Share, with no consideration or other payment due as a result of any fractional Common Share.
(b)Subject to Section 6.05, the Company will deliver the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes on or before the third (3rd) Business Day after the Conversion Date for such conversion.
(c)Subject to Section 6.03(d), upon conversion, Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest.
(d)If the Conversion Date for the Notes is after a Regular Record Date and before the next Interest Payment Date, then (i) the Holder will receive, on such Interest Payment Date, the interest that would have accrued on the Notes to, and been payable on, such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion; and (ii) the Notes, when surrendered for conversion, must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of such interest; provided, however, that (x) no such payment need be made for a conversion whose Conversion Date occurs following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date or (y) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note.
(e)By delivery to the Holder of the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes, the Company will be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Conversion Date.  Upon conversion of the Notes, all accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Conversion Date will be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited, subject to Section 6.03(d).
(f)Common Shares issued upon a conversion shall be delivered pursuant to a book 
(g)entry, and in no event shall paper certificates be issued or delivered, except upon the request and with the consent of the Holder receiving the same. The Company covenants that all Common Shares issued upon conversion of Notes will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
Section 1.04Adjustment of Conversion Rate.  The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs as described below:
(a)If the Company issues solely Common Shares as a dividend, bonus issue or distribution on all or substantially all of the Common Shares, or the Company effects a share split or share combination applicable to all Common Shares (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Shares Change Event, to which the provisions set forth in Section 6.05 will apply), the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
25

[.png image not supported]
where,
CR0    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date of such dividend, bonus issue or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;
CR1    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date or immediately after the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;
OS0    =    the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on such Record Date or immediately prior to the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable; and
OS1    =    the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, bonus issue, distribution, share split or share combination.
If any dividend, bonus issue, distribution, share split or share combination of the type described in this Section 6.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Company (acting by its Board of Directors) determines not to pay or make such dividend, bonus issue or distribution or to effect such share split or share combination, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, bonus issue, distribution, share split or share combination had not been declared or announced.
(b)[Reserved.]
(c)If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of its Common Shares any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than forty-five (45) calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share that is less than the average of the Market Price of the Common Shares for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula: 
[.png image not supported]
where,
CR0    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;
CR1    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
26

OS0    =    the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
X    =    the total number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and
Y    =    the number of Common Shares equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Market Price of the Common Shares over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.
Any increase made under this Section 6.04(c) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance. To the extent that Common Shares are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Common Shares actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance had not occurred. 
For the purpose of this Section 6.04(c), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at less than such average of the Market Price of the Common Shares for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(d)If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Shares, excluding (i) dividends, distributions or issuances as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 6.04(a) or Section 6.04(c), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was (or was not required to be) effected pursuant to Section 6.04(e), and (iii) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 6.04(d) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities of the Company, the “Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula: 
[.png image not supported]
where, 
27

CR0    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
CR1    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
SP0    =    the average of the Market Price of the Common Shares over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and
FMV    =    the Fair Market Value of the Distributed Property distributed with respect to each issued and outstanding share of Common Shares on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
Any increase made under the portion of this Section 6.04(d) above shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, Holder shall receive at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Shares, without having to convert its Notes, the amount and kind of Distributed Property Holder would have received if Holder owned a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution. If the Company (acting by its Board of Directors) determines the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 6.04(d) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing “SP0.” 
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 6.04(d) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the  shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national or European securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula: 
[.png image not supported]
where, 
CR0    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to end of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such Spin-Off;
CR1    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such Spin-Off;
28

FMV0    =    the average of the Market Price of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Shares applicable to one Common Share (determined by reference to the definition of “Market Price” as if references therein to Common Shares were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (such period, the “Valuation Period”); and
MP0    =    the average of the Market Price of the Common Shares over the Valuation Period.
The increase to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided, however, that in respect of any conversion of Notes during the Valuation Period, references in the portion of this Section 6.04(d) related to Spin-Offs with respect to ten (10) Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off to, but excluding, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate. If the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off is after the tenth (10th) Trading Day immediately preceding, and including, the end of any Observation Period in respect of a conversion of Notes, references in the portion of this Section 6.04(d) related to Spin-Offs with respect to ten (10) Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced, solely in respect of that conversion of Notes, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Observation Period.
For purposes of this Section 6.04, “Observation Period” shall mean with respect to any Notes surrendered for conversion the 20 consecutive Trading Days beginning on, and including, the 21st Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date.1 
For purposes of this Section 6.04(d) (and subject in all respects to Section 6.04(g)), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of its Common Shares entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common Shares (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such Common Shares; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Shares, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 6.04(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 6.04(d) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 6.04(d). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Agreement, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants 

1     W&C NTD: The term “Observation Period” is also used in Section 6.04(f). Definition to be included there also, or definition to refer to both Sections and be moved to Article I.
29

shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 6.04(d) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Shares with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Shares as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.
For purposes of Section 6.04(a), Section 6.04(c) and this Section 6.04(d), if any dividend, bonus issue or distribution to which this Section 6.04(d) is applicable also includes one or both of: 
(A)a dividend, bonus issue or distribution of Common Shares to which Section 6.04(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or 
(B)a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 6.04(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”), 
then (1) such dividend, bonus issue or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause C Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend, bonus issue or distribution to which this Section 6.04(d) is applicable (the “Clause D Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 6.04(d) with respect to such Clause D Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause C Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause D Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 6.04(a) and Section 6.04(c) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause C Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause D Distribution and (II) any Common Shares included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause C Distribution shall be deemed not to be “issued and outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date” within the meaning of Section 6.04(a) or “issued and outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 6.04(c). 
(e)If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Shares, other than a cash dividend that does not exceed $0.10 per Common Share in any quarter (the “Initial Dividend Threshold”), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula: 
30

[.png image not supported]
where, 
CR0    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
CR1    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
SP0    =    the Market Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
T    =    the Initial Dividend Threshold; provided, that if the dividend or distribution exceeds $0.10 per Common Share in any quarter, the Initial Dividend Threshold shall be deemed to be zero2; and
C    =    the amount in cash per share of Common Shares the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of Common Shares.
The Initial Dividend Threshold shall be subject to adjustment in a manner inversely proportional to adjustments to the Conversion Rate; provided, that no adjustment shall be made to the Initial Dividend Threshold for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 6.04(e). 
Any increase pursuant to this Section 6.04(e) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, Holder shall receive at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Shares without having to convert its Notes, the amount of cash that Holder would have received if Holder owned a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution. 
(f)If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Shares, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per Common Share exceeds the average of the Market Price of the Common Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where, 
CR0    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires (the “Expiration Date”);
CR1    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;
AC    =    the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for Common Shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
OS0    =    the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Expiration Date (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all Common Shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);
OS1    =    the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the Expiration Date (after giving effect to the purchase of all Common Shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and
SP1    =    the average of the Market Price of the Common Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date.
The increase to the Conversion Rate under this Section 6.04(f) shall occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date; provided, that in respect of any conversion of Notes within the ten (10) Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding any Expiration Date, references in this Section 6.04(f) with respect to ten (10) Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between such Expiration Date and the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate. In addition, if the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date is after the tenth (10th) Trading Day immediately preceding, and including, the end of any Observation Period in respect of a conversion of Notes, references in this Section 6.04(f) to ten (10) Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced, solely in respect of that conversion of Notes, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Observation Period.
(g)If the Company has a shareholder rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Notes into Common Shares, each Common Share, if any, issued upon such conversion shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and any physical certificate 
32

representing the Common Shares issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such shareholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. If however, prior to the conversion of Notes, the rights have separated from the Common Shares in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights plan, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Common Shares Distributed Property as provided in Section 6.04(d), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights
(h)In addition to those Conversion Rate adjustments required by Sections 6.04(a) through 6.04(g), the Company, from time to time, may (but is not required to) (i) increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest and (ii) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Shares or rights to purchase Common Shares in connection with any dividend or distribution of Common Shares (or rights to acquire Common Shares) or similar event.
(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted:
(i)for a change in the par value of the Common Shares; or
(ii)for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes.
(j)Adjustments to the Conversion Rate under this Article VI shall be calculated to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a Common Share.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.04, no adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require a change of at least one percent (1%) in the Conversion Rate, and any adjustment that would otherwise be required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment; provided, however, that upon conversion of the Notes, the Company shall give effect to all adjustments that the Company otherwise has deferred pursuant to this sentence, and those adjustments will no longer be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment.
(k)After any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant hereto, the Company shall prepare and send to Holders, within twenty (20) days of the effective date of such adjustment, a notice of such adjustment setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment became effective.  Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
(l)For purposes of this Section 6.04, the number of Common Shares at any time issued and outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company, so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on such treasury shares, but shall include shares issuable as fractions of Common Shares.
Section 1.05Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, Sale, Etc..  In the case of (i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Shares (other than changes 
33

resulting solely from a subdivision or combination, any share dividends or any change in par value), (ii) any consolidation, merger, amalgamation or combination involving the Company, (iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iv) any statutory share exchange, in each case, as a result of which the Common Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, or represent solely the right to receive, shares, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Common Shares Change Event”, and such shares, securities, property or assets, the “Reference Property”, and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) Common Share would be entitled to receive on account of such Common Shares Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue fractional shares of securities or other property), each a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
(a)at the effective time of such Common Shares Change Event, the consideration due upon conversion the Notes will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of Common Shares in this Article VI (or in any related definitions) were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; 
(b)if such Reference Property Unit consists entirely of cash, then, in respect of all conversions whose Conversion Date occurs on or after the effective date of such Common Shares Change Event, the Company will pay the cash due upon such conversions no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the relevant Conversion Date;
(c)the Company shall promptly execute, and the Holder shall counter-sign, a supplemental agreement pursuant to Section 14.03 hereof that (1) will provide for subsequent conversions of Notes in the manner set forth in this Section 6.05; (2) will provide for subsequent adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 6.04 hereof in a manner consistent with this Section 6.05; and (3) may contain such other provisions as (i) the Company in good faith determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holder and to give effect to the provisions of this Section 6.05 and (ii) to which the Holder reasonably agrees.
If such Common Shares Change Event causes the Common Shares to be converted into, or exchanged for, or represent solely the right to receive, more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election), the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Shares that affirmatively make such an election.  The Company shall notify Holder of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.
The Company shall not become a party to any Common Shares Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 6.05.  None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of Holder to convert its Notes as set forth in Article VI and Section 6.02 prior to the effective date of such Common Shares Change Event, nor shall any of the foregoing provisions affect the right of any Holder to convert its Notes as set forth in Article XI hereof.
Section 1.06Taxes on Shares Issued.  Any issue of Common Shares upon the conversion of the Notes shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary, 
34

transfer, stamp or any similar tax in respect of the issue thereof, and the Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes or duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Common Shares, if any, upon conversion of the Notes pursuant hereto.  The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares in any name other than that of the Holder, and, in addition to any other requirements or conditions set forth herein, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares unless and until the Person or Persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
Section 1.07Reservation of Shares; Listing.  The Company shall at all times hold, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient Common Shares to provide for the conversion of the Notes.  The Company will use its best efforts to cause all Common Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes to be listed on such securities exchange(s) upon which the Common Shares are then listed, if any.
Section 1.08Company Determination Final.  Any determination that the Board of Directors contemplated pursuant to this Article VI shall be conclusive if made in good faith and in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI, absent manifest error.
Article VII.

LETTER AGREEMENT BETWEEN METROPARK, LTD AND ISSUER DATED JULY 31, 2020

 

 

 

July 31, 2020

 

Ms. Susan Johnson, Treasurer

Capital Properties, Inc.

5 Steeple Street, Unit 303

Providence, RI 02903

 

RE:    Covid-19 Parking Lot Revenue Sharing

 

VIA Email

 

Dear Susan:

 

The Covid-19 pandemic and Rhode Island’s stay-at-home orders have had a significant adverse impact on Metropark.  In mid-March, we closed our lots as there were few parking customers.  We expect our operations will slowly return to normal over the next several months as the State has lifted the stay-at-home order and is gradually permitting certain business to resume operations. Accordingly, we are proposing to adjust our rental obligations under that certain lease between Capital Properties, Inc. and Metropark, Ltd, dated January 1, 2017 (the “Lease”) as described herein. All other covenants, terms and conditions of the Lease remain in full force and effect without modification.

 

To date we have paid all the rent due for the parking lots through March and have paid $32,290.75 towards the April through July rent resulting in a balance due CPI of $146,654.72 on July 31, 2020. The $146,654.72 together with the difference between our contractual rental obligation under the Lease of $44,673 per month (the “Monthly Contractual Rent”) and the amounts actually paid by us during the period from April 1, 2020 to the date of  our return to payment of the Monthly Contractual Rent as required by this letter agreement is referred to as the “Cumulative Rental Arrearage”  We will not be in a position to pay the Contractual Monthly Rent until operations are at approximately 80% of pre-pandemic levels. 

 

Until that level of operations is achieved, I propose that our partial monthly rental payment to CPI be based on an allocation of the total monthly revenue collected using the percentages noted in the table below.  As discussed, Metropark will keep 100% of the first $20,000 of revenue collected and will split the amount in excess of the $20,000 in accordance with the percentages noted in the table below.  The full amount of rent will be due once the lots generate $70,000 per month.

By way of example, if August’s revenue is assumed to be $38,000, Metropark would keep $28,200 and make a partial payment of $9,800 to CPI:

My intention is to pay all of the past due rent once operations return to “normal”. Once we have returned to paying the Monthly Contractual Rent, the amount of the Cumulative Rental Arrearage will be paid beginning with first day of month next following return to full payment of Monthly Contractual Rent by sharing with you fifty (50) percent of the revenues of the lots in excess of $70,000 per month until the arrearage has been discharged. If prior to payment in full of the arrearage, one or more lots is removed from the lease for development by you, the amount of the then unpaid Cumulative Rental Arrearage in the ratio of the number of parking spaces on the removed lot to the total parking spaces on all the lots prior to such lot’s removal shall be deemed paid in full. When the Cumulative Rental Arrearage has been paid in full, we will then become subject to the rental provisions of the Lease.

 

If you are in agreement with the above proposal, please sign and return this letter to me. 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

/s/ Charles Meyers

 

Charles Meyers

President
