If a Participant’s employment with the Company terminates due to the Participant’s death and the Participant has designated one or more beneficiaries with the Company, for one (1) year after the death of the Participant the designated beneficiary(ies) shall be entitled to receive benefits under the Plan to the same extent as the Participant would have been eligible to receive such benefits if he/she was still alive and actively employed by the Company.

employment relationship at any time for any lawful reason, with or without advance notice.

5

 

mail a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Company’s designated transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein, and (II) on or before the second (2nd) Business Day following the date of receipt or deemed receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice (or, if earlier, the end of the then standard settlement period for U.S. broker-dealer securities transactions) (the “Share Delivery Date”), (A) provided the Holder is eligible to receive such Conversion Shares through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) DTC (which shall include any time at which the Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) are satisfied), credit such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system, or (B) if the foregoing shall not apply, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a stock certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, in each case, for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled.  The Conversion Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain a legend (or stop transfer instructions) restricting the resale or transferability of the Conversion Shares if any of the Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) are met.

 

(iii)                               Dispute Resolution.  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue to the Holder the number of Conversion Shares that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via electronic mail within two (2) Business Days of receipt or deemed receipt of the Holder’s Conversion Notice or other date of determination.  If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Conversion Price or arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate within one (1) Business Day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Holder, then the Company shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) submit or electronic mail (A) the disputed determination of the Conversion Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm agreed to by the Company and the Required Holders, or (B) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, as the case may be.  The Company shall direct the investment bank or the accounting firm, as the case may be, to perform the determination or calculation and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than two (2) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determination or calculation.  Such investment bank’s or accounting firm’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error.  The fees and expenses of such investment bank or accountant shall be paid by the Company.  Notwithstanding the existence of a dispute contemplated by this paragraph, if requested by the Holder, the Company shall issue to the Holder the Conversion Shares not in dispute in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(iv)                              Record Holder.  The person or persons entitled to receive the Conversion Shares issuable upon a Conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the legal and record holder or holders of such Shares upon delivery by the Holder of the Conversion Notice, or in the case of Conversion Shares the issuance of which is subject to a bona fide dispute that is subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in compliance with the time periods and other

 

6

 

provisions of, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2(c)(iii), the first Business Day after the resolution of such bona fide dispute.

(A)                               Cash Damages.  If by the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall fail to issue the Conversion Shares and deliver a certificate to the Holder for, or credit the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC with, the number of Conversion Shares, as applicable, (free of any restrictive legend, provided any of the Unrestricted Conditions is satisfied) (a “Delivery Failure”) then, in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Agreement, the Company shall pay additional damages to the Holder for each day after the Share Delivery Date such conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the product of (I) the number of Conversion Shares not issued to the Holder or its designee on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled and (II) the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date (such product is referred to herein as the “Share Product Amount”).  Alternatively in lieu of the foregoing damages, subject to Section 2(c)(iii), at the written election of the Holder made in the Holder’s sole discretion, if, on or after the applicable Conversion Date, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of Conversion Shares that such Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (such purchased shares, “Buy-In Shares”), the Company shall be obligated to promptly pay to such Holder (in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may otherwise have), 110% of the amount by which (A) such Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for such Buy-In Shares exceeds (B) the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of the number of Conversion Shares such Holder was entitled to receive but had not received on the Share Delivery Date. If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 2(c)(v)(A) within five (5) Business Days of the date incurred, then the Holder entitled to such payments shall have the right at any time, so long as the Company continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Company, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of such cash damages, the number of Shares equal to the quotient of (X) the aggregate amount of the damages payments described herein divided by (Y) the Conversion Price specified by the Holder in the Conversion Notice.  Amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2(c)(v) shall be paid on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day of each month following a month in which such payment  accrued.

 

(B)                               Void Conversion Notice.  If for any reason the Holder has not received all of the Conversion Shares prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Share Delivery Date with respect to a Conversion (a “Conversion Failure”), then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company (a “Void Conversion Notice”), may void its Conversion with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of Principal that has not been converted pursuant to the Holder’s Conversion Notice; provided, that the voiding of the Holder’s Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 2(c)(v)(A) or otherwise.

 

(vi)                              Book-Entry.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon Conversion or repayment of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company.

 

7

 

(d)                                 Taxes.  The Company shall pay any and all taxes (excluding income taxes, franchise taxes or other taxes levied on gross earnings, profits or the like of the Holder) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Conversion Shares upon the conversion of this Note, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests any Conversion Shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder will pay that tax.

 

(e)                                  Legends.

 

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

 

THIS NOTE AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, INCLUDING PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO A PRIVATE SALE EFFECTED UNDER SECTION 4(a)(7) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE FORMAL OR INFORMAL SEC INTERPRETATION OR GUIDANCE, SUCH AS A SO-CALLED “4(a)(1) AND A HALF SALE.”  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

 

(ii)                                  Removal of Restrictive Legends. The certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares shall not contain or be subject to (and the Holder shall be entitled to the removal of) any legend or stop transfer instructions restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in subsection 2(e)(i)): (A) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the resale of such security by the Holder is effective under the Securities Act, (B) following any sale of such Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (C) if such Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), (D) if the Holder certifies at any time that the Holder is not an “affiliate” of the Company (as such term is used under Rule 144 pursuant to the Securities Act), and the Holder’s holding period for purposes of Rule 144 and subsection (d)(3)(iii) thereof with respect to the Conversion Shares is at least six (6) months (it being acknowledged and agreed by the Company that the Holder’s holding period for the Conversion Shares shall be deemed to have commenced on the Second Amendment Date), or (E) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) (the “Unrestricted Conditions”).  Promptly

 

8

 

following the Effective Date (as defined below) or such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions have been satisfied, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion or other instruction to the Transfer Agent (if required by the Transfer Agent) to effect the issuance of the Conversion Shares without a restrictive legend or, in the case of Conversion Shares that have previously been issued, the removal of the legend thereunder.  If any of the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of the Conversion Shares, then the Conversion Shares shall be issued free of all legends.  The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(e), it will, no later than two (2) Trading Days (or if earlier, the number of Trading Days comprising the then standard settlement period for U.S. broker-dealer securities transactions) following the delivery (the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Deadline”) by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of any certificate representing Conversion Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such fourth Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder a certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.  For purposes hereof, “Effective Date” shall mean the date that the first Registration Statement that the Company is required to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement has been declared effective by the SEC.  The Company shall assume (and the Holder shall be deemed to represent) that the Holder is not an affiliate of the Company, unless the Holder has otherwise advised the Company in writing.

 

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

 

(f)                                   Reservation of Shares.  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting Conversions of this Note, such number of Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the Note (without giving effect to the 4.985% Cap or the Conversion Cap); and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire Principal amount convertible under this Note, the Company will use its best efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.  The Company covenants and agrees that, upon any Conversion of this Note, all Shares issuable upon such Conversion shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any Person.

 

(g)                                  Limitations on Conversion.

 

(i)                                     Beneficial Ownership Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue to the Holder, and the Holder may not acquire, a number of Shares upon Conversion or otherwise issue any Shares of Common

 

9

 

Stock pursuant hereto or the Facility Agreement to the extent that, upon such Conversion, the number of Shares then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 4.985% of the total number of shares of common stock then issued and outstanding (the “4.985% Cap”); provided, however, that the 4.985% Cap shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof (including the representation contemplated by the second paragraph of this Section 2(g)(i)), “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the SEC, and the percentage held by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.  For purposes hereof (including the representation contemplated by the second paragraph of this Section 2(g)(i)), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the Company’s most recent quarterly or annual report filed with the SEC, or any current report filed by the Corporation with the SEC subsequent thereto.  Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Shares then outstanding, and the Holder shall be entitled to rely upon such confirmation for purposes hereof (including the representation contemplated by the second paragraph of this Section 2(g)(i)).

 

Delivery of a Conversion Notice by the Holder shall constitute a representation by the Holder that the issuance of Common Stock in accordance with such Conversion Notice will not cause the Holder (together with its Affiliates, and any other Person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the SEC) to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the 4.985% Cap, as determined in accordance with, and subject to the terms, conditions, qualifications and assumptions set forth in, the immediately preceding paragraph.

 

(ii)                                  Principal Market Regulation.  The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares upon Conversion if the issuance of such Shares together with any previous issuances of Shares pursuant to conversions of the Notes by the Holders hereof (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude Shares issued in satisfaction of Interest payments pursuant to the Facility Agreement) from and after the Amendment and Restatement Date would exceed 3,796,668 shares of Common Stock, subject to appropriate adjustment for any Stock Event that occurs after the Amendment and Restatement Date (the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market and any other Principal Market for issuances of Shares in excess of such amount; it being acknowledged, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Company has no obligation to seek such  approval.  In the event that the Company seeks such approval, (i) any proxy statement delivered to the stockholders of the Company in connection therewith shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and shall comply with the applicable requirements of the Principal Market; (ii) none of the information included or incorporated by reference in such proxy statement or any

 

10

 

other document filed therewith, in any such case, at the date it is first filed with the SEC, at the date it is first mailed to the Company’s stockholders, at the time of the applicable meeting of stockholders or at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof, shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or shall omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; and (iii) such approval shall otherwise be obtained in compliance with applicable law and the applicable requirements of the Principal Market. Upon any conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue the maximum amount of the number of Shares set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice that may be issued without exceeding the Exchange Cap.

 

(iii)                               Applicable Limits on Conversion of the Note.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, prior to November 5, 2019, this Note shall not be convertible, and the Company shall not issue Shares upon conversion of this Note, to the extent that the aggregate Principal amount of this Note that would otherwise be converted pursuant to the applicable Conversion Notice, together with the aggregate principal amount of this Note converted into Conversion Shares after the Amendment and Restatement Date would exceed $26,250,000 (the “Conversion Cap”) (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that upon any Conversion of this Note, the Company shall convert the maximum portion of Principal amount set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice that may be converted into Shares without so exceeding the Conversion Cap).

 

3.                                      Registration Failure.  Upon any Registration Failure, in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall pay additional damages to the Holder for each 30-day period (prorated for any partial period) after the date of such Registration Failure in an amount in cash equal to two percent (2%) of the original principal amount of this Note.  Such payments shall accrue until the earlier of (i) such time as the Registration Failure has been cured and (ii) the date on which all of the Conversion Shares may be disposed of for the Holder’s own account without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for the availability of current public information thereunder.  Amounts payable pursuant to this Section3 shall be paid on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day of each month following a month in which such payment  accrued.

 

4.                                      Voting Rights.  Except as required by law, the Holder shall have no voting rights with respect to any of the Conversion Shares until the Conversion Date relating to the conversion of this Note upon which such Conversion Shares are issuable (or in the case of Conversion Shares the issuance of which is subject to a bona fide dispute that is subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in compliance with the time periods and other provisions of, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2(c)(iii), the first Business Day after the resolution of such bona fide dispute).

 

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

 

6.                                      Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief.  The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies

 

11

 

available under this Note, the Facility Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy, and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note.  The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein.  Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof).  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.  The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies (at law or in equity), to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

10.                               Restrictions on Transfer.

 

(a)                                 Registration or Exemption Required.  This Note has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  None of the Note or the Conversion Shares may be transferred, sold, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act, Rule 144 under the Securities Act or a so-called “4(a)(1) and a half” transaction.

 

(b)                                 Assignment. The Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Note, in whole or in part; provided that (i) the Holder shall deliver a written notice to the Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the Person or Persons to whom the Note shall be assigned and the respective principal amount of the Note to be assigned to each assignee, and (ii) the transferee shall have complied with Section 2.5(d) of the Facility Agreement.  The Company shall effect the assignment (including by making appropriate notation of such transfer on the

 

12

 

Register) within three (3) business days (the “Transfer Delivery Period”), and shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Note or Notes of like tenor and terms for the appropriate principal amount.  This Note and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Note are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Note, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder.

 

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

 

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

 

13.                               Registered Note.  This Note may be transferred only upon notation of such transfer on the Register, and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein.

 

14.                               Waiver of Notice.  To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby waives demand, notice, presentment, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note and the Facility Agreement.

 

15.                               Governing Law.  This Note shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such State. All legal proceedings concerning the interpretation and enforcement of this Note shall be commenced exclusively in the state commercial division courts or federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan.  The Company hereby and each Holder (by its acceptance of this Note) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or other proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or other proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding.  The Company hereby and each Holder (by its acceptance of this Note) irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or other proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such person at the address in effect for notices to it under Section 6.1 of the Facility Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.  EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER (BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR
