SECTION 6.                         Representations and Warranties; Reaffirmation.

 

(a)                                 Each Obligor hereby represents and warrants to each Lender as follows:

 

(i)                                     Such Obligor has full power, authority and legal right to make and perform this Amendment.  This Amendment is within such Obligor’s corporate powers and has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, by all necessary shareholder action.  This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by such Obligor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor, enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (b) the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).  This Amendment (x) does not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority or any third party, except for such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (y) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, bylaws or other organizational documents of such Obligor and its Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority, other than any such violations that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (z) will not violate or result in an event of default under any material indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon such Obligor and its Subsidiaries or assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any such Person.

 

(ii)                                  No Default has occurred or is continuing or will result after giving effect to this Amendment.

 

(iii)                               There has been no Material Adverse Effect since the date of the Credit Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Each Obligor hereby ratifies, confirms, reaffirms, and acknowledges its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and agrees that the Loan Documents remain in full force and effect, undiminished by this Amendment, except as expressly provided herein.  By executing this Amendment, each Obligor acknowledges that it has read, consulted with its attorneys regarding, and understands, this Amendment.

 

SECTION 7.                         GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

 

(a)                                 Governing Law.  This Amendment and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction; provided that Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law shall apply.

 

(b)                                 Submission to Jurisdiction.  Each Obligor agrees that any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Amendment or any other Loan Document to which it is a party or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof may be brought initially in the federal or state courts in New York, New York or in the courts of its own corporate domicile and irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of each such court for the purpose of any such suit, action, proceeding or judgment.  This Section 7 is for the benefit of the Lenders only

and, as a result, no Lender shall be prevented from taking proceedings in any other courts with jurisdiction.  To the extent allowed by applicable Laws, the Lenders may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

 

(c)                                  Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH OBLIGOR AND EACH LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

 

SECTION 8.                                                                         Acknowledgement and Consent.  Each Guarantor has read this Amendment and consents to the terms hereof and hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Loan Document to which such Person is a party shall continue in full force and effect and that all of its obligations thereunder shall be valid, binding, and enforceable, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles relating to enforceability, and shall not be impaired or limited by the execution or effectiveness of this Amendment.  Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (i) such Person is not required by the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to consent to the supplements and amendments to the Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this Amendment and (ii) nothing in the Credit Agreement, this Amendment or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to require the consent of such Person to any future supplements or amendments to the Credit Agreement.

 

SECTION 9.                         Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                 No Waiver.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of compliance with any term or condition contained in the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or constitute a course of conduct or dealing among the parties.  Except as expressly stated herein, the Lenders reserve all rights, privileges and remedies under the Loan Documents.  Except as amended hereby, the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents remain unmodified and in full force and effect.  All references in the Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

 

(b)                                 Severability.  In case any provision of or obligation under this Amendment shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

(c)                                  Headings.  Headings and captions used in this Amendment (including the Exhibits, Schedules and Annexes hereto, if any) are included for convenience of reference only and shall not be given any substantive effect.

 

(d)                                 Integration.  This Amendment constitutes a Loan Document and, together with the other Loan Documents, incorporates all negotiations of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and is the final expression and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

5

 

(e)                                  Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Amendment by signing any such counterpart.

 

(f)                                   Controlling Provisions.  In the event of any inconsistencies between the provisions of this Amendment and the provisions of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Amendment shall govern and prevail.  Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, the Loan Documents shall not be modified and shall remain in full force and effect.

REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE

 

13.0% Second-Lien Convertible PIK Notes Due 2019

 

This Amended and Restated Note is one of $114,760,000 aggregate initial principal amount of 13.0% Second-Lien Convertible PIK Notes Due 2019 issued by the Issuer on or prior to December 26, 2015 (the “Notes”), which, together with all PIK Notes issued from time to time and all 13.0% Second-Lien Convertible PIK Notes Due 2019 issued in connection with transfers, exchanges or otherwise as permitted by the terms hereof, form a single class of securities (the “Securities”) for all purposes, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, impose certain limitations (set forth herein and in each other Security) on Holdings, the Issuer and their respective Subsidiaries. “Subsidiary” refers, with respect to any Person (the “parent”), any corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, association or other entity (i) the accounts of which would be consolidated with those of the parent in the parent’s consolidated financial statements if such financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States applied on a consistent basis (“GAAP”) as of such date, (ii) the securities of which or other ownership interests representing more than 50% of the equity or more than 50% of the ordinary voting power, or in the case of a partnership, more than 50% of the general partnership interests are, as of such date, owned, controlled or held, or (iii) that is, as of such date, otherwise controlled, by the parent or one or more subsidiaries of the parent or by the parent and one or more subsidiaries of the parent. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “Subsidiary” hereunder shall mean a Subsidiary of Holdings. For the avoidance of doubt, MeiraGTx Limited, a company organized under the laws of England and Wales, shall not be considered a “Subsidiary” hereunder.

 

The aggregate principal amount of Securities, at any date of determination, shall be the principal amount of all outstanding Securities, including all PIK Notes issued at or prior to such date of determination, at such date of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders (as defined below) of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Securities, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Securities, the Holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Securities then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Securities. “Holder” refers to a Person in whose name a Security is registered.

 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent or other action, Securities owned by Holdings, the Issuer, the Guarantors or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with Holdings, the Issuer or the Guarantors shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding. Only Securities outstanding at the time of such determination shall be considered in any such determination.

 

Terms used but not otherwise defined in the Securities shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Non-Convertible Credit Facility Agreement, as amended to the date hereof. Any reference to “Borrower” in the Non-Convertible Credit Facility Agreement shall be deemed to be a reference to “Issuer” for purposes of this Amended and Restated Note.

 

1. This Amended and Restated Note; the Notes; the Securities

 

(a)                The Securities are issued as registered notes without coupons in minimum denominations of $50,000, and increments of $5,000 in excess thereof, except as may be necessary to (1) reflect any PIK Interest (as defined herein) or (2) enable the registration of transfer by a Holder of its entire holding of Securities. The Issuer shall keep at its principal office a register (the “Register”) in which the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. No transfer of Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, may be effected unless a valid transfer instruction in the form attached to each of the Securities (the “Transfer Instruction”), including this Amended and Restated Note, is delivered to the Issuer as provided in this Section 1. If the Issuer determines in good faith that a Transfer Instruction is not valid, it shall within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof notify the Holder submitting such Transfer Instruction of the defect (a “Defect Notice”). In the absence of a Defect Notice, any transfer shall be deemed to be effective at the end of the tenth (10th) Business Day following delivery of a Transfer Instruction. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Issuer and the Holders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded (or deemed to be recorded) in the

Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Holder hereunder for all purposes of the Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are authorized or required by law to close.

 

(b)                The Register shall be available for inspection by the Holder of any Security, including this Amended and Restated Note, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Amended and Restated Note shall be transferred only by surrendering this Amended and Restated Note to the Issuer and having a new Security or Securities reissued to the transferee.

 

(c)                 This Amended and Restated Note may be transferred to any transferee pursuant to a Transfer Instruction; provided that (i) such transfer shall be made in compliance with the restrictive legend on the face of this Amended and Restated Note, the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws, (ii) such transfer shall be in compliance with Section 11 hereof and this Section 1, (iii) such transfer shall be in compliance with the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Holdings, dated as of June 27, 2014 (as amended, “Holdings’ LLC Agreement”) as amended to the date hereof (and for the avoidance of doubt, the Securities shall be considered Membership Interests (as defined in Holdings’ LLC Agreement) for purposes of the transfer restrictions contained therein) and (iv) such transfer shall be in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be the then outstanding principal amount of this Amended and Restated Note). The Holder of this Amended and Restated Note and its transferee shall deliver to the Issuer an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable, and/or any additional documentation that the Issuer may reasonably require in connection with any transfer of this Amended and Restated Note. Upon any transfer pursuant to a Transfer Instruction, the transferee shall, to the extent of such transfer, be entitled to exercise the rights of the Holder making such transfer and shall thereafter be deemed a “Holder” under this Amended and Restated Note for all purposes.

 

(d)                Upon surrender of this Amended and Restated Note for registration of transfer in the Register, the Issuer shall execute and deliver one or more new Securities of like tenor and of the principal amount transferred, registered in the name of such transferee or transferees and, if applicable, a new Security of like tenor to the transferor and of principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Amended and Restated Note remaining following such transfer. Any purported transfer of this Amended and Restated Note, or any portion hereof, to a transferee that does not comply with the requirements specified in this Amended and Restated Note will be of no force and effect and shall be null and void ab initio.

 

(e)                 If surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, this Amended and Restated Note must be duly endorsed and be accompanied by a written Transfer Instruction duly executed, by the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing. Any Securities issued in exchange for this Amended and Restated Note or upon transfer hereof shall carry the rights to unpaid interest and interest to accrue which were carried by this Amended and Restated Note, so that neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from any such transfer or exchange. Upon receipt of written notice from the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Amended and Restated Note and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of such Holder’s indemnity agreement satisfactory to the Issuer, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of this Amended and Restated Note, the Issuer will make and deliver a new Security, of like tenor and principal amount, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

 

(f)                  If this Amended and Restated Note is transferred to the Issuer, Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings pursuant to this Section 1, this Amended and Restated Note shall for all purposes be deemed to be automatically and immediately cancelled and the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall no longer be outstanding for any purpose hereunder.

 

(g)                 In connection with any proposed transfer of this Amended and Restated Note from time to time, Holdings and the Issuer each covenants and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, and to cause their respective Subsidiaries to cooperate, with the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note by (i) if at the time of such proposed transfer, neither Holdings nor the Issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), providing, upon request, customary information satisfying the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act, (ii) facilitating any such transfers by making appropriate entry on the Register in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1, and (iii) providing such other ministerial items reasonably requested by the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note.

(h)                Unless the context otherwise requires, for all purposes of this Amended and Restated Note, references to the “principal amount” of this Amended and Restated Note (and references to the “principal amount” of the Notes or the Securities) include any increase or accretion in principal amount hereof or thereof, including as a result of the payment of PIK Interest (as defined herein) or Partial PIK Interest (as defined herein). The issuance of PIK Notes (as defined herein) and/or the increase in the principal amount of any Security, including this Amended and Restated Note, as a result of PIK Interest or Partial PIK Interest will be reflected in the Register by the Issuer on the date of such issuance and/or increase.

 

2. Interest

 

(a)                Issuer promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Amended and Restated Note and on the principal amount of each other Security on each Interest Payment Date, as set forth herein, to the Holder of record of this Amended and Restated Note or such other Security, as applicable, at the close of business on the regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, commencing on [October 1, 2015/April 1, 2016].

 

(b)                This Amended and Restated Note shall bear interest on the unpaid principal hereof from and including the Original Issue Date through but excluding the date on which such principal is paid (whether upon final maturity, by prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Amended and Restated Note) at a rate equal to 13.0% per annum (subject to any increases in accordance with the following sentence, the “Interest Rate”). If a Qualified IPO, as defined below, has not been consummated on or before March 31, 2016, the Interest Rate applicable to all Securities shall automatically increase as of, and including, April 1, 2016 by an additional 300 basis points and the Interest Rate shall subsequently increase by an additional 300 basis points as of each October 1 and April 1, inclusive, until the Interest Rate equals 21.0% per annum (the “Maximum Interest Rate”), which shall remain the applicable Interest Rate for all Securities so long as any Securities remain outstanding. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Issuer hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the Holders of the Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, would be contrary to the provisions of any applicable law limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for or received by such Holders, and in such event the Issuer shall pay such Holder interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the Interest Rate otherwise payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Issuer shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by such Holders is equal to the total interest that would have been received by such Holders had the Interest Rate hereunder been payable without regard for the limitation imposed by this sentence.

 

(c)                 The Issuer may, at its option, elect to pay interest due on this Amended and Restated Note on any Interest Payment Date: (i) entirely in cash (“Cash Interest”) on such date; (ii) entirely by increasing the principal of this Amended and Restated Note or by issuing additional Securities in certificated form (“PIK Notes”) with the same rights and benefits as this Amended and Restated Note (“PIK Interest”) on such date; or (iii) partially in cash and partially by increasing the principal amount of this Amended and Restated Note or by issuing PIK Notes (“Partial PIK Interest”) on such date. In each case, PIK Interest shall be rounded up to the nearest $1.00. PIK Notes, if any are issued, will be dated as of the applicable Interest Payment Date and will bear interest from and after such date at the then applicable Interest Rate. All PIK Notes issued pursuant to a payment of PIK Interest will mature on the Maturity Date and will be governed by, and subject to, the terms, provisions and conditions set forth in such PIK Notes, which shall be identical to the provisions and conditions set forth in this Amended and Restated Note in all material respects. PIK Notes will be issued with the description “PIK” on the face of such PIK Note certificates.

 

(d)                Unless the Issuer otherwise notifies the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note at least three (3) Business Days prior to any Interest Payment Date, interest payable on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable entirely in PIK Interest, which PIK Interest shall be paid, at the option of the Issuer, by (A) the issuance of certificated PIK Notes on such Interest Payment Date or (B) by the increase in the outstanding principal amount of this Amended and Restated Note in the amount of such PIK Interest on such Interest Payment Date. If no PIK Notes are delivered on an Interest Payment Date, (i) the outstanding principal amount of this Amended and Restated Note will be automatically increased by the Issuer in the amount of such PIK Interest on such Interest Payment Date and

 

8

 

such increase shall be reflected in the Register on such Interest Payment Date and (ii) the Issuer shall notify the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note of such increase promptly thereafter.

 

(e)                 The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the Interest Rate borne by this Amended and Restated Note, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same Interest Rate to the extent lawful. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on this Amended and Restated Note, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by this Amended and Restated Note (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner.

 

(f)              Any amounts due or otherwise payable in respect of Securities on the Maturity Date shall be payable entirely in cash.

 

(g)                 Interest on the Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from the Original Issue Date or, in the case of PIK Notes, from the date of their original issuance. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 

3. Method of Payment; Tax Forms

 

(a)                The Issuer shall pay interest on the Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, (except defaulted interest) to the Person who is the registered Holder at the close of business on September 15 or March 15 (each, a “Record Date”), whether or not a Business Day, immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date even if this Amended and Restated Note is canceled after the Record Date and on or before the Interest Payment Date. If any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue on any amount that would have been otherwise payable on such payment date if it were a Business Day for the intervening period. Each Holder of a Security must surrender such Security to the Issuer to collect principal payable on the Maturity Date.

 

(b)                The Issuer shall pay any defaulted interest with respect to a Security to the Holder of such Security on a subsequent special record date. No payment of defaulted interest may be made with respect to a Security unless a concurrent payment of defaulted interest is made on a pro rata basis to the Holders of all Securities for which defaulted interest is then payable. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date, which shall be a date no later than 15 days following the commencement of accrual of the defaulted interest, and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder of the Securities a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid to Holders of Securities.

 

(c)                 The Issuer shall pay principal, premium, if any, any cash interest, if elected, and all other monetary obligations payable hereunder, in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Cash payments in respect of Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, (including principal, cash interest (if elected) and all other monetary obligations payable in cash) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account maintained with a bank in the United States specified in writing to the Issuer by the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note on the Original Issue Date (the “Cash Payment Account”). The Holder of this Amended and Restated Note may change the applicable Cash Payment Account by giving written notice to the Issuer to such effect designating such new account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant payment date (or such other date as the Issuer may accept in its sole discretion).

 

(d)                Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment of accrued interest in connection with any redemption of Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, as described under Section 5 hereof or in connection with any repurchase of Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, pursuant to Section 7 hereof shall be made solely in cash.

 

(e)                 The Issuer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable hereunder, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law.  If the Issuer withholds any such amounts, the amounts so withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid hereunder.

 

9

 

(f)                  On or before the date on which a Person becomes a Holder hereunder, such Person shall deliver to the Issuer (i) a properly completed applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8 (together with appropriate attachments and, if applicable, a certificate(s) establishing that such Person is entitled to an exemption for portfolio interest under Code Section 881(c) and/or Code Section 871(h)). The Holder shall also provide the foregoing documentation promptly upon reasonable demand by the Issuer and promptly upon learning that any form previously provided by the Holder has become obsolete or incorrect.

 

4. Conversion

 

(a)                Upon the consummation of a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering of Equity Interests of Holdings (or a successor entity) in which (i) such Equity Interests are listed on a national securities exchange and (ii) combined primary and secondary gross proceeds of such offering equal not less than $50.0 million (such public offering, a “Qualified IPO”), Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, shall be converted into Class A Units of Holdings (the “Conversion Units”), in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 and the Issuer shall cause Holdings to issue such Conversion Units. Conversion Units issued pursuant to this Section 4 shall have the rights, preferences and privileges of Class A Units of Holdings, as set forth in Holdings’ LLC Agreement. If Class A Units of Holdings are converted into other Equity Interests (“Conversion Equity Interests”) in connection with any conversion of Holdings into a Delaware corporation (whether by conversion, merger, consolidation or otherwise), then all references herein to Conversion Units and/or Class A Units of Holdings shall be understood to refer to such Conversion Equity Interests.

 

(b)                Upon the due conversion of any principal amount of a Security, including this Amended and Restated Note, and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon or hereon, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 4 and the issuance of the applicable Conversion Units to the Holder of such Security in accordance with this Section 4, such principal amount of such Security and such accrued interest thereon so converted shall be deemed paid in full and no longer outstanding.

 

(c)                 The number of Conversion Units into which a Security shall be converted shall equal the aggregate principal amount of such Security, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as of the time of conversion divided by the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion (the “Conversion Rate”). The “Conversion Price” shall be equal to: the product of (x) 80% and (y) the price per Class A Unit of Holdings (or the price per share of common stock of the corporate successor to Holdings, if applicable) offered in a Qualified IPO; provided, however, that the Conversion Price shall be capped at $12.00 (the “Conversion Price Cap”). The Conversion Price Cap (for Adjustment Events occurring prior to a Qualified IPO) shall be subject to proportionate adjustment for any equity split, equity combination, in-kind distribution, recapitalization or similar transaction that affects the economic rights of the Conversion Units (“Adjustment Events”).

 

(d)                Within five (5) business days of a Qualified IPO, each Holder shall deliver to Holdings the Security certificate, duly endorsed, or an affidavit of loss, including provisions indemnifying Holdings with respect to such loss, and otherwise in a form reasonably acceptable to Holdings, at the address specified by Holdings pursuant to Section 21 hereof together with a notice (the “Conversion Notice”). which shall state the name or names in which the Conversion Units issuable upon conversion of such Security are to be issued; provided, that if the Conversion Units are to be issuable in the name of any Person other than the Holder of such Conversion Units, the transfer requirements set forth in Section 1(c) must first be satisfied.  In addition, the Conversion Notice shall state that the Holder agrees, effective as of the date thereof, (i) to become a party to the Holdings LLC Agreement as a member (or, if applicable, a party to the shareholders agreement or stockholders agreement entered into by all equity holders of Holdings following the Incorporation Transaction in a similar capacity), (ii) to be bound by all terms, covenants, conditions, representations and warranties under the Holdings LLC Agreement (or, if applicable, under the shareholders agreement or stockholders agreement entered into by all equity holders of Holdings following the Incorporation Transaction) and (iii) that for all purposes of the Holdings LLC Agreement, the undersigned shall be included within the term member (or, if applicable, as a party to the shareholders agreement or stockholders agreement entered into by all equity holders of Holdings following the Incorporation Transaction in a similar capacity).  The Holder shall also acknowledge in the Conversion Notice that it has received and reviewed a copy of the Holdings LLC Agreement or shareholders agreement or stockholders agreement entered into by all equity holders of Holdings following the Incorporation Transaction, as applicable. Holdings shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, deliver to each recipient of such Conversion Units, a statement that sets forth, as of the most recent date practicable, such recipient’s ownership interest in Holdings. Any conversion pursuant to this Section 4

 

10

 

shall be deemed to have been made immediately upon the completion of a Qualified IPO, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Conversion Units issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Conversion Units as of such date.  Issuer shall cause Holdings to take all actions required to effect the conversion described in this Section 4.

 

(e)                 The Issuer shall not be responsible for the payment of any Taxes in respect of the issue or delivery of the Conversion Units pursuant hereto other than any and all stamp, excise or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of such issuance or delivery.

 

(f)                  Each Holder, to the extent such Holder is not already a party to a lock-up agreement with the managing underwriters in a Qualified IPO (the “Representatives”) with substantially the same terms as those contained in this Section 4(f), hereby agrees that in connection with the conversion of its Securities upon the occurrence of a Qualified IPO, it will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the Holder or any affiliate of the Holder), directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any Conversion Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Conversion Units, or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, for a period from the date of the filing with the Commission of Holdings’ registration statement relating to such Qualified IPO through 180 days after the date of the underwriting agreement relating thereto (the “Lock-up Period”).  It shall be a condition to any transfer of any Conversion Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Conversion Units during the period  from the date hereof until the commencement of the Lock-up Period, that each recipient of such securities agrees in writing to be bound by the same restrictions in place for the Holder pursuant to this Section 4(f) for the duration that such restrictions remain in effect at the time of transfer.

 

The foregoing paragraph shall not apply to (A) Conversion Units disposed of as bona fide gifts, including as a result of the operation of law, including pursuant to a domestic order or a negotiated divorce settlement, or estate or intestate succession; (B) if the Holder is a natural person, transfers of Conversion Units to (i) the legal representative, heir, beneficiary or a member of the immediate family of the Holder (for purpose of this Section 4(f), “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage, or adoption, not more remote than first cousin), (ii) any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Holder or the immediate family of the Holder, and/or charitable organizations or (iii) a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which the Holder and the immediate family of the Holder are the direct or indirect legal and beneficial owners of all the outstanding equity securities or similar interests of such corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity; (C) if the Holder is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, transfers of Conversion Units to (i) any trust or other entity for the direct or indirect benefit of the Holder or any affiliate, wholly-owned subsidiary, limited partner, member or stockholder of the Holder, (ii) a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which the Holder and any affiliate, wholly-owned subsidiary, limited partner, member or stockholder of the Holder are the direct or indirect legal and beneficial owners of all the outstanding equity securities or similar interests of such corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, or (iii) partners, members or shareholders of the Holder; (D) transfers of Conversion Units to the Holder’s affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the Holder; and (E) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Conversion Units, provided that such plan does not provide for the transfer of Conversion Units during the Lock-up Period and, other than any filing required to be made pursuant to Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act after the expiration of the Lock-up Period, no public announcement of the establishment or existence of such plan and no filing with the Commission or other regulatory authority in respect of such plan or transactions thereunder or contemplated thereby, by the Holder, Holdings or any other person, shall be made by the Holder, Holdings or any other person, prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period; provided, that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (C)(i)-(iii) or clause (D), such transfers shall not involve a disposition for value; provided further, however, that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (A), (B), (C) or (D), it shall be a condition to such transfer that (i) each recipient of Conversion Units agrees in writing to be bound by the same restrictions in place for the Holder pursuant to this letter for the duration that such restrictions remain in effect at the time of transfer and (ii) prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period, no public disclosure or filing under the Exchange Act by any party to the transfer

 

11

 

(donor, donee, transferor or transferee) shall be required, or made voluntarily, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Conversion Units in connection with such transfer.

 

Furthermore, notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by this Section 4(f), the Holder may, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, (i) (A) exercise an option to purchase shares of common stock of Holdings (or any corporate successor) (“Common Stock”) granted under any equity incentive plan, stock option plan, stock bonus plan or stock purchase plan of Holdings in effect at the time of a Qualified IPO and disclosed in the prospectus therefor (the “Prospectus”), (B) exercise any warrants outstanding at the time of a Qualified IPO and disclosed in the Prospectus or (C) convert any loans, notes, or debt (“Convertible Securities”), provided that, in the case of clauses (i)(A), (i)(B) and (i)(C), the underlying shares of Common Stock shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4(f), and provided, further that, except as permitted below, if the Holder is required to make a filing under the Exchange Act, the Holder shall include a statement in such report to the effect that the report relates to the exercise of a stock option or warrant or conversion of any Convertible Security, that no shares of Common Stock were sold by the reporting person and that the shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of the stock option or warrant or conversion of any Convertible Security are subject to restrictions on transfer set forth in this letter agreement and (ii) transfer, sell or dispose of shares of Common Stock acquired on the open market following the Offering, provided that no filing under the Exchange Act or other public announcement shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer, sale or disposition pursuant to this clause (ii) during the Lock-up Period, and (iii) transfer shares of Common Stock (A) to pay taxes (including estimated taxes) of the Holder in connection with the vesting or exercise of equity awards by the Holder pursuant to Holdings’ equity incentive, stock option, stock bonus or other stock plan or arrangement described in the Prospectus, (B) pursuant to a net exercise or cashless exercise by the Holder of outstanding equity awards pursuant to Holdings’ equity incentive, stock option, stock bonus or other stock plan or arrangement, provided that any Shares acquired upon the net exercise or cashless exercise of equity awards described in clause (iii)(B) shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this letter agreement; provided further, that no filing under the Exchange Act or other public announcement shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer or disposition pursuant to this clause (iii) during the Lock-up Period.

 

In the event that during the Lock-up Period, the Representatives waive any prohibition on the transfer of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock with respect to any officer or director of Holdings or any holder of more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis, the Representatives shall be deemed to have also waived, on the same terms, the prohibitions set forth in this Section 4(f) that would otherwise have applied to the Holder with respect to the same percentage of the Holder’s Conversion Units or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Conversion Units as the relative percentage of aggregate Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock held by such party receiving the waiver that are subject to such waiver.  The provisions of this paragraph will not apply: (1) unless and until the Representatives have first waived more than 1.0% of Holdings’ total outstanding shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion, exercise and exchange of all securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock) from such prohibitions or (2) (a) if the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not involving a disposition for value and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Section 4(f) to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.  In the event that any percentage of such Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock released from the prohibitions set forth in this Section 4(f) are subject to any restrictions of the type set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 4(f), the same restrictions shall be applicable to the release of the same percentage of the Holder’s Conversion Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Conversion Units. In the event that, as a result of this paragraph, any Conversion Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Conversion Units by the Holder are released from the restrictions imposed by this Section 4(f), Holdings, in consultation with the Representatives, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Holder within two business days of notification by the Representatives of such release that the same percentage of aggregate Conversion Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Conversion Units held by the Holder has been released; provided that the failure to give such notice to Holdings or the Holder shall not give rise to any claim or liability against Holdings or the underwriters in the Qualified IPO.

 

The terms of this Section 4(f) shall only be effective so long as equityholders of Holdings identified by the managing underwriters are entering into substantially the same lock-up agreements for an identical (or longer) term. The provisions of this Section 4(f) shall not apply to the sale of any Conversion Units to an underwriter

 

12

 

pursuant to an underwriting agreement.  The underwriters in connection with a Qualified IPO are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 4(f) and shall have the right, power, and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto.  In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, Holdings may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Conversion Units of each Holder until the end of such period.  For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 4(f) shall survive the conversion of this Amended and Restated Note into Conversion Units.  The Holder further agrees to execute an agreement with the Representatives reflecting the foregoing, the terms of any agreement executed with the Representatives (whether prior to or after the date of this Amended and Restated Note) to supersede all of the terms of this Section 4(f).

 

5. Redemption

 

(a)                On or after the later of (x) the first anniversary of August 28, 2015 and (y) the date of the consummation of a Qualified IPO, the Issuer may redeem Securities (including this Amended and Restated Note) at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed) of 150.00%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), payable (at the Issuer’s option) in cash or Class A Units (or Conversion Equity Units, as applicable) valued at VWAP (as defined in the Convertible Credit Facility Agreement); provided that the Issuer may not elect to pay the redemption price in Class A Units (or Conversion Equity Units, as applicable) unless the VWAP over the 30-day period prior to the date of the redemption notice is above 150% of the per share price in the Issuer’s Qualified IPO (as adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, and similar events affecting such shares).

 

(b)                In addition, on or after the later of (x) the third anniversary of August 28, 2015 and (y) the date of the consummation of a Qualified IPO, the Issuer may redeem Securities (including this Amended and Restated Note) at its option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price in cash (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed) of 110.00%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

 

(c)                 If Issuer or a third party is required to make a Change of Control Offer pursuant to Section 7 and in connection with such Change of Control Offer, Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities validly tender and do not withdraw such Securities in such Change of Control Offer and the Issuer or such third party purchases all of the Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer or such third party shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to such Change of Control Offer, to redeem all Securities that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed) of 110.00%, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the redemption date (provided that if such Change of Control occurs prior to a Qualified IPO, then such redemption price shall be 150.00%, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the redemption date).

 

(d)                Any redemption of Securities (including this Amended and Restated Note) may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, consummation of any related equity offering or related financing transaction.

Upon surrender to the Issuer, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest, to, but excluding, the redemption date; provided, however, that if the redemption date is after a regular Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Securities registered on the relevant Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to the Holders whose Securities will be subject to redemption by the Issuer.

(i)                   Action under Environmental Laws. Such Obligor shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, upon becoming aware of the presence of any Hazardous Materials in violation of Environmental Law or under conditions that could reasonably be expected to result in liability under applicable Environmental Laws with respect to its business, operation or property, take such action, at its cost and expense, to investigate and abate the condition as required to comply with applicable Environmental Laws. Such actions may include claims against responsible parties to compel performance of investigation and abatement in accordance with Environmental Laws.

 

(j)                  Certain Obligations Respecting Subsidiaries; Further Assurances.

 

(i) Guarantors. Such Obligor will take such action, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to take such action, from time to time as shall be necessary to ensure that all Subsidiaries of Holdings that are Material Subsidiaries (in each case, other than Foreign Subsidiaries, CFC Holdcos and Domestic Subsidiaries directly or indirectly wholly-owned by Foreign Subsidiaries) are “Guarantors” hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries shall form or acquire any new Subsidiary that is a Material Subsidiary or any Subsidiary shall become a Material Subsidiary (in each case, other than any Foreign Subsidiary, CFC Holdco or Domestic Subsidiary directly or indirectly wholly-owned by a Foreign Subsidiary), such Obligor and its Subsidiaries concurrently will:

 

(1) cause such new Subsidiary to become a “Guarantor” of this Amended and Restated Note, and a “Grantor” and a “Guarantor” under the Guaranty and Security Agreement, pursuant to a Joinder under the Guaranty and Security Agreement;

 

(2) take such action or cause such Subsidiary to take such action (including delivering such shares of stock together with undated transfer powers executed in blank) as shall be necessary to create and perfect valid and enforceable second priority (subject to Permitted Priority Liens) Liens on substantially all of the personal property of such new Subsidiary as collateral security for the obligations of such new Subsidiary hereunder, other than voting Equity Interests in excess of sixty-five percent (65%) of the voting Equity Interests of each Foreign Subsidiary and CFC Holdco;

 

20

 

(3) to the extent that the parent of such Subsidiary is not a party to the Guaranty and Security Agreement or has not otherwise pledged Equity Interests in its Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of the Guaranty and Security Agreement and this Amended and Restated Note, cause the parent of such Subsidiary to execute and deliver a pledge agreement in favor of Collateral Agent, in respect of all outstanding issued shares of such Subsidiary; and

(8)                any Equity Interests and other securities of any Subsidiary of the Issuer or any Guarantor to the extent that, and for so long as, the pledge of such Equity Interests or other securities to secure the Guaranteed Obligations under the Securities would cause such Subsidiary to be required to file separate financial statements with the Commission pursuant to Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X; and

 

(9)                any United States intent-to-use trademark application prior to the filing of a “Statement of Use” or “Amendment to Allege Use” with respect thereto, to the extent, if any, that, and solely during the period, if any, in which, the creation by the Issuer or a Guarantor of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark application under applicable federal law, rule or regulation; provided that immediately upon the time at which the foregoing consequences shall no longer exist, the Collateral shall include, and the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in, all of such Issuer or Guarantor’s right, title and interest in such application;

 

provided, however, that Excluded Assets shall not include any Proceeds, substitutions or replacements of any Excluded Assets referred to in clauses (1)-(10) above unless such Proceeds, substitutions or replacements would constitute Excluded Assets referred to in clauses (1)-(10) above.

(iv)                              No delivery or pledge of collateral, or other perfection of a security interest, shall be required under the Securities or any of the Securities Documents if such collateral is not required to be delivered or pledged, or the security interest perfected, as applicable, by the Convertible Credit Facility Administrative Agent or the Control Agent.

After an amendment under this Section 13 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders of all Securities a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders of Securities, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 13.

(a)                If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under clauses (viii), (ix) or (x) of the definition of Event of Default) occurs and is continuing, the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Securities by notice to the Issuer may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable immediately. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default under clauses (viii), (ix) or (x) of the definition of Event of Default occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Securities will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of any Holders of Securities. The Holders of a majority

15. Collateral Agent; Security; Intercreditor Agreement

 

(a)                                 By its acceptance of a Note, each Holder of Securities has irrevocably designated and appointed Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, and its successors and assigns, as the Collateral Agent for the Securities under the Guaranty and Security Agreement (the “Collateral Agent”), pursuant to the Collateral Agency Agreement. Each such Holder irrevocably directs the Collateral Agent, in such capacity, to execute and deliver the Guaranty and Security Agreement and authorizes the Collateral Agent, in such capacity, pursuant to and in accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Securities and the other Securities Documents, including the authority to execute and deliver the Securities Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of the Securities and the other Securities Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in the Securities, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in the Securities Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any Holder, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into the Securities or any other Securities Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.

 

(b)                                 Reserved.

 

(c)                                  The Holder of this Amended and Restated Note and the Holders of each Security, by accepting a Security, are deemed to agree that the Liens on the Collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations and the Guarantees under the Guaranty and Security Agreement are subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. The Holder of this Amended and Restated Note, and the Holders of each Security, by accepting a Security authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of the Holders of Securities and agree

 

35

 

that the Holders of Securities shall comply with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to them in their capacities as such to the same extent as if the Holders of Securities were parties thereto.

 

(d)                                 The Guaranteed Obligations and the Guarantees under the Guaranty and Security Agreement are secured as provided in the Securities Documents and will be secured by additional security documents to the extent required or permitted by the Securities Documents. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall deliver and make all filings (including filings of continuation statements and amendments to UCC financing statements that may be necessary to continue the effectiveness of such UCC financing statements) necessary to maintain (at the sole cost and expense of the Issuer and the Guarantors) the security interest created by the Securities Documents in the Collateral (as defined in the Securities Documents) as a perfected security interest to the extent perfection is required by the Securities Documents.

 

(e)                                  The Collateral Agent shall have all the rights and protections provided in the Securities Documents and the Collateral Agency Agreement in connection with any action taken or not taken by it as Collateral Agent.

 

(f)                                   Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents shall be responsible or liable for the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any Collateral, for the legality, enforceability, effectiveness or sufficiency of the Securities Documents, for the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any Liens, or any defect or deficiency as to any such matters, except as required by the Securities Documents.

 

(g)                               Subject to the provisions of the Securities Documents, the Collateral Agent may, at the direction of Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Securities, take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to:

 

(A) foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any or all of the Liens securing the Securities and/or the Guarantees under the Guaranty and Security Agreement;

 

(B) enforce any of the terms of the Securities Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party; or

 

(C) collect and receive payment of any and all obligations in respect of the Securities or the Guarantees under the Guaranty and Security Agreement.

 

(h)                                 Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and empowered by the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note, together with the Holder of each Security, (by its acceptance hereof) to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem reasonably expedient to protect or enforce the Liens securing the Guaranteed Obligations and/or the Guarantees under the Guaranty and Security Agreement or the Securities Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party or to prevent any impairment of Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Securities Documents or the Securities, and such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably expedient, at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense, to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders of the Securities in the Collateral, including the power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the second priority Liens securing the Securities and/or the Guarantees under the Guaranty and Security Agreement or be prejudicial to the interests of Holders of the Securities or the Collateral Agent.

 

(j)                                    Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Securities Documents at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(k)                                 The security interests in the Collateral securing the Obligations under the Securities (including this Amended and Restated Note) and the Securities Documents will be, pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, second in priority to any and all security interests at any time granted to secure the obligations under the Non-Convertible Credit Facility Loan Documents and the Convertible Credit Facility Loan Documents (in each case, including any refinancings of such obligations) and will also be subject to all other Permitted Liens.

36

 

conflict or inconsistency among the provisions of the Securities or the Securities Documents (other than the Intercreditor Agreement), on the one hand, and the Intercreditor Agreement, on the other hand, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

 

(l)                                     Reference is made to the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Security, (a) consents to the subordination of Liens provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (c) authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement solely to act for the benefit of such Holder. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities to extend credit and such lenders are intended third party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

16. No Recourse Against Others

 

No director, officer, employee, incorporator of Holdings, Issuer or any of their respective Subsidiaries and no holder of any Equity Interests in Holdings or any direct or indirect parent thereof, as such, shall have any liability for any Obligations or any Guaranteed Obligations or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability.

 

17. [Intentionally Omitted].

 

18. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws; Waiver of Jury Trial.

 

Neither Holdings, the Issuer and any Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Amended and Restated Note; and Holdings, the Issuer and the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to them, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 

EACH OF HOLDINGS, THE ISSUER, AND THE GUARANTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SECURITIES, INCLUDING THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED NOTE, OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(b) Any Conversion shall be structured so that the relative percentage Equity Interests, relative voting rights and economic positions of the members of Holdings immediately prior to the Conversion, including with respect to the Class A Units reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Securities, will be maintained in the Conversion.

REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE

 

13.0% Second-Lien Convertible PIK Notes Due 2019

 

This Amended and Restated Note is one of $114,760,000 aggregate initial principal amount of 13.0% Second-Lien Convertible PIK Notes Due 2019 issued by the Issuer on or prior to December 26, 2015 (the “Notes”), which, together with all PIK Notes issued from time to time and all 13.0% Second-Lien Convertible PIK Notes Due 2019 issued in connection with transfers, exchanges or otherwise as permitted by the terms hereof, form a single class of securities (the “Securities”) for all purposes, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, impose certain limitations (set forth herein and in each other Security) on Holdings, the Issuer and their respective Subsidiaries. “Subsidiary” refers, with respect to any Person (the “parent”), any corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, association or other entity (i) the accounts of which would be consolidated with those of the parent in the parent’s consolidated financial statements if such financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States applied on a consistent basis (“GAAP”) as of such date, (ii) the securities of which or other ownership interests representing more than 50% of the equity or more than 50% of the ordinary voting power, or in the case of a partnership, more than 50% of the general partnership interests are, as of such date, owned, controlled or held, or (iii) that is, as of such date, otherwise controlled, by the parent or one or more subsidiaries of the parent or by the parent and one or more subsidiaries of the parent. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “Subsidiary” hereunder shall mean a Subsidiary of Holdings. For the avoidance of doubt, MeiraGTx Limited, a company organized under the laws of England and Wales, shall not be considered a “Subsidiary” hereunder.

 

The aggregate principal amount of Securities, at any date of determination, shall be the principal amount of all outstanding Securities, including all PIK Notes issued at or prior to such date of determination, at such date of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders (as defined below) of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Securities, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Securities, the Holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Securities then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Securities. “Holder” refers to a Person in whose name a Security is registered.

 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent or other action, Securities owned by Holdings, the Issuer, the Guarantors or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with Holdings, the Issuer or the Guarantors shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding. Only Securities outstanding at the time of such determination shall be considered in any such determination.

 

Terms used but not otherwise defined in the Securities shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Non-Convertible Credit Facility Agreement, as amended to the date hereof. Any reference to “Borrower” in the Non-Convertible Credit Facility Agreement shall be deemed to be a reference to “Issuer” for purposes of this Amended and Restated Note.

 

1. This Amended and Restated Note; the Notes; the Securities

 

(a)                The Securities are issued as registered notes without coupons in minimum denominations of $50,000, and increments of $5,000 in excess thereof, except as may be necessary to (1) reflect any PIK Interest (as defined herein) or (2) enable the registration of transfer by a Holder of its entire holding of Securities. The Issuer shall keep at its principal office a register (the “Register”) in which the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. No transfer of Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, may be effected unless a valid transfer instruction in the form attached to each of the Securities (the “Transfer Instruction”), including this Amended and Restated Note, is delivered to the Issuer as provided in this Section 1. If the Issuer determines in good faith that a Transfer Instruction is not valid, it shall within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof notify the Holder submitting such Transfer Instruction of the defect (a “Defect Notice”). In the absence of a Defect Notice, any transfer shall be deemed to be effective at the end of the tenth (10th) Business Day following delivery of a Transfer Instruction. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Issuer and the Holders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded (or deemed to be recorded) in the

 

6

 

Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Holder hereunder for all purposes of the Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are authorized or required by law to close.

 

(b)                The Register shall be available for inspection by the Holder of any Security, including this Amended and Restated Note, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Amended and Restated Note shall be transferred only by surrendering this Amended and Restated Note to the Issuer and having a new Security or Securities reissued to the transferee.

 

(c)                 This Amended and Restated Note may be transferred to any transferee pursuant to a Transfer Instruction; provided that (i) such transfer shall be made in compliance with the restrictive legend on the face of this Amended and Restated Note, the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws, (ii) such transfer shall be in compliance with Section 11 hereof and this Section 1, (iii) such transfer shall be in compliance with the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Holdings, dated as of June 27, 2014 (as amended, “Holdings’ LLC Agreement”) as amended to the date hereof (and for the avoidance of doubt, the Securities shall be considered Membership Interests (as defined in Holdings’ LLC Agreement) for purposes of the transfer restrictions contained therein) and (iv) such transfer shall be in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be the then outstanding principal amount of this Amended and Restated Note). The Holder of this Amended and Restated Note and its transferee shall deliver to the Issuer an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable, and/or any additional documentation that the Issuer may reasonably require in connection with any transfer of this Amended and Restated Note. Upon any transfer pursuant to a Transfer Instruction, the transferee shall, to the extent of such transfer, be entitled to exercise the rights of the Holder making such transfer and shall thereafter be deemed a “Holder” under this Amended and Restated Note for all purposes.

 

(d)                Upon surrender of this Amended and Restated Note for registration of transfer in the Register, the Issuer shall execute and deliver one or more new Securities of like tenor and of the principal amount transferred, registered in the name of such transferee or transferees and, if applicable, a new Security of like tenor to the transferor and of principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Amended and Restated Note remaining following such transfer. Any purported transfer of this Amended and Restated Note, or any portion hereof, to a transferee that does not comply with the requirements specified in this Amended and Restated Note will be of no force and effect and shall be null and void ab initio.

 

(e)                 If surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, this Amended and Restated Note must be duly endorsed and be accompanied by a written Transfer Instruction duly executed, by the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing. Any Securities issued in exchange for this Amended and Restated Note or upon transfer hereof shall carry the rights to unpaid interest and interest to accrue which were carried by this Amended and Restated Note, so that neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from any such transfer or exchange. Upon receipt of written notice from the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Amended and Restated Note and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of such Holder’s indemnity agreement satisfactory to the Issuer, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of this Amended and Restated Note, the Issuer will make and deliver a new Security, of like tenor and principal amount, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

 

(f)                  If this Amended and Restated Note is transferred to the Issuer, Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings pursuant to this Section 1, this Amended and Restated Note shall for all purposes be deemed to be automatically and immediately cancelled and the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall no longer be outstanding for any purpose hereunder.

 

(g)                 In connection with any proposed transfer of this Amended and Restated Note from time to time, Holdings and the Issuer each covenants and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, and to cause their respective Subsidiaries to cooperate, with the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note by (i) if at the time of such proposed transfer, neither Holdings nor the Issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), providing, upon request, customary information satisfying the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act, (ii) facilitating any such transfers by making appropriate entry on the Register in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1, and (iii) providing such other ministerial items reasonably requested by the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note.

 

7

 

(h)                Unless the context otherwise requires, for all purposes of this Amended and Restated Note, references to the “principal amount” of this Amended and Restated Note (and references to the “principal amount” of the Notes or the Securities) include any increase or accretion in principal amount hereof or thereof, including as a result of the payment of PIK Interest (as defined herein) or Partial PIK Interest (as defined herein). The issuance of PIK Notes (as defined herein) and/or the increase in the principal amount of any Security, including this Amended and Restated Note, as a result of PIK Interest or Partial PIK Interest will be reflected in the Register by the Issuer on the date of such issuance and/or increase.

 

2. Interest

 

(a)                Issuer promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Amended and Restated Note and on the principal amount of each other Security on each Interest Payment Date, as set forth herein, to the Holder of record of this Amended and Restated Note or such other Security, as applicable, at the close of business on the regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, commencing on [October 1, 2015/April 1, 2016].

 

(b)                This Amended and Restated Note shall bear interest on the unpaid principal hereof from and including the Original Issue Date through but excluding the date on which such principal is paid (whether upon final maturity, by prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Amended and Restated Note) at a rate equal to 13.0% per annum (subject to any increases in accordance with the following sentence, the “Interest Rate”). If a Qualified IPO, as defined below, has not been consummated on or before March 31, 2016, the Interest Rate applicable to all Securities shall automatically increase as of, and including, April 1, 2016 by an additional 300 basis points and the Interest Rate shall subsequently increase by an additional 300 basis points as of each October 1 and April 1, inclusive, until the Interest Rate equals 21.0% per annum (the “Maximum Interest Rate”), which shall remain the applicable Interest Rate for all Securities so long as any Securities remain outstanding. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Issuer hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the Holders of the Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, would be contrary to the provisions of any applicable law limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for or received by such Holders, and in such event the Issuer shall pay such Holder interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the Interest Rate otherwise payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Issuer shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by such Holders is equal to the total interest that would have been received by such Holders had the Interest Rate hereunder been payable without regard for the limitation imposed by this sentence.

 

(c)                 The Issuer may, at its option, elect to pay interest due on this Amended and Restated Note on any Interest Payment Date: (i) entirely in cash (“Cash Interest”) on such date; (ii) entirely by increasing the principal of this Amended and Restated Note or by issuing additional Securities in certificated form (“PIK Notes”) with the same rights and benefits as this Amended and Restated Note (“PIK Interest”) on such date; or (iii) partially in cash and partially by increasing the principal amount of this Amended and Restated Note or by issuing PIK Notes (“Partial PIK Interest”) on such date. In each case, PIK Interest shall be rounded up to the nearest $1.00. PIK Notes, if any are issued, will be dated as of the applicable Interest Payment Date and will bear interest from and after such date at the then applicable Interest Rate. All PIK Notes issued pursuant to a payment of PIK Interest will mature on the Maturity Date and will be governed by, and subject to, the terms, provisions and conditions set forth in such PIK Notes, which shall be identical to the provisions and conditions set forth in this Amended and Restated Note in all material respects. PIK Notes will be issued with the description “PIK” on the face of such PIK Note certificates.

 

(d)                Unless the Issuer otherwise notifies the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note at least three (3) Business Days prior to any Interest Payment Date, interest payable on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable entirely in PIK Interest, which PIK Interest shall be paid, at the option of the Issuer, by (A) the issuance of certificated PIK Notes on such Interest Payment Date or (B) by the increase in the outstanding principal amount of this Amended and Restated Note in the amount of such PIK Interest on such Interest Payment Date. If no PIK Notes are delivered on an Interest Payment Date, (i) the outstanding principal amount of this Amended and Restated Note will be automatically increased by the Issuer in the amount of such PIK Interest on such Interest Payment Date and

 

8

 

such increase shall be reflected in the Register on such Interest Payment Date and (ii) the Issuer shall notify the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note of such increase promptly thereafter.

 

(e)                 The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the Interest Rate borne by this Amended and Restated Note, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same Interest Rate to the extent lawful. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on this Amended and Restated Note, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by this Amended and Restated Note (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner.

 

(f)              Any amounts due or otherwise payable in respect of Securities on the Maturity Date shall be payable entirely in cash.

 

(g)                 Interest on the Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from the Original Issue Date or, in the case of PIK Notes, from the date of their original issuance. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 

3. Method of Payment; Tax Forms

 

(a)                The Issuer shall pay interest on the Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, (except defaulted interest) to the Person who is the registered Holder at the close of business on September 15 or March 15 (each, a “Record Date”), whether or not a Business Day, immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date even if this Amended and Restated Note is canceled after the Record Date and on or before the Interest Payment Date. If any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue on any amount that would have been otherwise payable on such payment date if it were a Business Day for the intervening period. Each Holder of a Security must surrender such Security to the Issuer to collect principal payable on the Maturity Date.

 

(b)                The Issuer shall pay any defaulted interest with respect to a Security to the Holder of such Security on a subsequent special record date. No payment of defaulted interest may be made with respect to a Security unless a concurrent payment of defaulted interest is made on a pro rata basis to the Holders of all Securities for which defaulted interest is then payable. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date, which shall be a date no later than 15 days following the commencement of accrual of the defaulted interest, and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder of the Securities a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid to Holders of Securities.

 

(c)                 The Issuer shall pay principal, premium, if any, any cash interest, if elected, and all other monetary obligations payable hereunder, in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Cash payments in respect of Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, (including principal, cash interest (if elected) and all other monetary obligations payable in cash) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account maintained with a bank in the United States specified in writing to the Issuer by the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note on the Original Issue Date (the “Cash Payment Account”). The Holder of this Amended and Restated Note may change the applicable Cash Payment Account by giving written notice to the Issuer to such effect designating such new account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant payment date (or such other date as the Issuer may accept in its sole discretion).

 

(d)                Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment of accrued interest in connection with any redemption of Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, as described under Section 5 hereof or in connection with any repurchase of Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, pursuant to Section 7 hereof shall be made solely in cash.

 

(e)                 The Issuer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable hereunder, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law.  If the Issuer withholds any such amounts, the amounts so withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid hereunder.

(f)                  On or before the date on which a Person becomes a Holder hereunder, such Person shall deliver to the Issuer (i) a properly completed applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8 (together with appropriate attachments and, if applicable, a certificate(s) establishing that such Person is entitled to an exemption for portfolio interest under Code Section 881(c) and/or Code Section 871(h)). The Holder shall also provide the foregoing documentation promptly upon reasonable demand by the Issuer and promptly upon learning that any form previously provided by the Holder has become obsolete or incorrect.

 

4. Conversion

 

(a)                Upon the consummation of a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering of Equity Interests of Holdings (or a successor entity) in which (i) such Equity Interests are listed on a national securities exchange and (ii) combined primary and secondary gross proceeds of such offering equal not less than $50.0 million (such public offering, a “Qualified IPO”), Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, shall be converted into Class A Units of Holdings (the “Conversion Units”), in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 and the Issuer shall cause Holdings to issue such Conversion Units. Conversion Units issued pursuant to this Section 4 shall have the rights, preferences and privileges of Class A Units of Holdings, as set forth in Holdings’ LLC Agreement. If Class A Units of Holdings are converted into other Equity Interests (“Conversion Equity Interests”) in connection with any conversion of Holdings into a Delaware corporation (whether by conversion, merger, consolidation or otherwise), then all references herein to Conversion Units and/or Class A Units of Holdings shall be understood to refer to such Conversion Equity Interests.

 

(b)                Upon the due conversion of any principal amount of a Security, including this Amended and Restated Note, and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon or hereon, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 4 and the issuance of the applicable Conversion Units to the Holder of such Security in accordance with this Section 4, such principal amount of such Security and such accrued interest thereon so converted shall be deemed paid in full and no longer outstanding.

 

(c)                 The number of Conversion Units into which a Security shall be converted shall equal the aggregate principal amount of such Security, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as of the time of conversion divided by the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion (the “Conversion Rate”). The “Conversion Price” shall be equal to: the product of (x) 80% and (y) the price per Class A Unit of Holdings (or the price per share of common stock of the corporate successor to Holdings, if applicable) offered in a Qualified IPO; provided, however, that the Conversion Price shall be capped at $12.00 (the “Conversion Price Cap”). The Conversion Price Cap (for Adjustment Events occurring prior to a Qualified IPO) shall be subject to proportionate adjustment for any equity split, equity combination, in-kind distribution, recapitalization or similar transaction that affects the economic rights of the Conversion Units (“Adjustment Events”).

 

(d)                Within five (5) business days of a Qualified IPO, each Holder shall deliver to Holdings the Security certificate, duly endorsed, or an affidavit of loss, including provisions indemnifying Holdings with respect to such loss, and otherwise in a form reasonably acceptable to Holdings, at the address specified by Holdings pursuant to Section 21 hereof together with a notice (the “Conversion Notice”). which shall state the name or names in which the Conversion Units issuable upon conversion of such Security are to be issued; provided, that if the Conversion Units are to be issuable in the name of any Person other than the Holder of such Conversion Units, the transfer requirements set forth in Section 1(c) must first be satisfied.  In addition, the Conversion Notice shall state that the Holder agrees, effective as of the date thereof, (i) to become a party to the Holdings LLC Agreement as a member (or, if applicable, a party to the shareholders agreement or stockholders agreement entered into by all equity holders of Holdings following the Incorporation Transaction in a similar capacity), (ii) to be bound by all terms, covenants, conditions, representations and warranties under the Holdings LLC Agreement (or, if applicable, under the shareholders agreement or stockholders agreement entered into by all equity holders of Holdings following the Incorporation Transaction) and (iii) that for all purposes of the Holdings LLC Agreement, the undersigned shall be included within the term member (or, if applicable, as a party to the shareholders agreement or stockholders agreement entered into by all equity holders of Holdings following the Incorporation Transaction in a similar capacity).  The Holder shall also acknowledge in the Conversion Notice that it has received and reviewed a copy of the Holdings LLC Agreement or shareholders agreement or stockholders agreement entered into by all equity holders of Holdings following the Incorporation Transaction, as applicable. Holdings shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, deliver to each recipient of such Conversion Units, a statement that sets forth, as of the most recent date practicable, such recipient’s ownership interest in Holdings. Any conversion pursuant to this Section 4

 

10

 

shall be deemed to have been made immediately upon the completion of a Qualified IPO, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Conversion Units issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Conversion Units as of such date.  Issuer shall cause Holdings to take all actions required to effect the conversion described in this Section 4.

 

(e)                 The Issuer shall not be responsible for the payment of any Taxes in respect of the issue or delivery of the Conversion Units pursuant hereto other than any and all stamp, excise or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of such issuance or delivery.

 

(f)                  Each Holder, to the extent such Holder is not already a party to a lock-up agreement with the managing underwriters in a Qualified IPO (the “Representatives”) with substantially the same terms as those contained in this Section 4(f), hereby agrees that in connection with the conversion of its Securities upon the occurrence of a Qualified IPO, it will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the Holder or any affiliate of the Holder), directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any Conversion Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Conversion Units, or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, for a period from the date of the filing with the Commission of Holdings’ registration statement relating to such Qualified IPO through 180 days after the date of the underwriting agreement relating thereto (the “Lock-up Period”).  It shall be a condition to any transfer of any Conversion Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Conversion Units during the period  from the date hereof until the commencement of the Lock-up Period, that each recipient of such securities agrees in writing to be bound by the same restrictions in place for the Holder pursuant to this Section 4(f) for the duration that such restrictions remain in effect at the time of transfer.

 

The foregoing paragraph shall not apply to (A) Conversion Units disposed of as bona fide gifts, including as a result of the operation of law, including pursuant to a domestic order or a negotiated divorce settlement, or estate or intestate succession; (B) if the Holder is a natural person, transfers of Conversion Units to (i) the legal representative, heir, beneficiary or a member of the immediate family of the Holder (for purpose of this Section 4(f), “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage, or adoption, not more remote than first cousin), (ii) any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Holder or the immediate family of the Holder, and/or charitable organizations or (iii) a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which the Holder and the immediate family of the Holder are the direct or indirect legal and beneficial owners of all the outstanding equity securities or similar interests of such corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity; (C) if the Holder is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, transfers of Conversion Units to (i) any trust or other entity for the direct or indirect benefit of the Holder or any affiliate, wholly-owned subsidiary, limited partner, member or stockholder of the Holder, (ii) a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which the Holder and any affiliate, wholly-owned subsidiary, limited partner, member or stockholder of the Holder are the direct or indirect legal and beneficial owners of all the outstanding equity securities or similar interests of such corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, or (iii) partners, members or shareholders of the Holder; (D) transfers of Conversion Units to the Holder’s affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the Holder; and (E) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Conversion Units, provided that such plan does not provide for the transfer of Conversion Units during the Lock-up Period and, other than any filing required to be made pursuant to Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act after the expiration of the Lock-up Period, no public announcement of the establishment or existence of such plan and no filing with the Commission or other regulatory authority in respect of such plan or transactions thereunder or contemplated thereby, by the Holder, Holdings or any other person, shall be made by the Holder, Holdings or any other person, prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period; provided, that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (C)(i)-(iii) or clause (D), such transfers shall not involve a disposition for value; provided further, however, that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (A), (B), (C) or (D), it shall be a condition to such transfer that (i) each recipient of Conversion Units agrees in writing to be bound by the same restrictions in place for the Holder pursuant to this letter for the duration that such restrictions remain in effect at the time of transfer and (ii) prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period, no public disclosure or filing under the Exchange Act by any party to the transfer

 

11

 

(donor, donee, transferor or transferee) shall be required, or made voluntarily, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Conversion Units in connection with such transfer.

 

Furthermore, notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by this Section 4(f), the Holder may, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, (i) (A) exercise an option to purchase shares of common stock of Holdings (or any corporate successor) (“Common Stock”) granted under any equity incentive plan, stock option plan, stock bonus plan or stock purchase plan of Holdings in effect at the time of a Qualified IPO and disclosed in the prospectus therefor (the “Prospectus”), (B) exercise any warrants outstanding at the time of a Qualified IPO and disclosed in the Prospectus or (C) convert any loans, notes, or debt (“Convertible Securities”), provided that, in the case of clauses (i)(A), (i)(B) and (i)(C), the underlying shares of Common Stock shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4(f), and provided, further that, except as permitted below, if the Holder is required to make a filing under the Exchange Act, the Holder shall include a statement in such report to the effect that the report relates to the exercise of a stock option or warrant or conversion of any Convertible Security, that no shares of Common Stock were sold by the reporting person and that the shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of the stock option or warrant or conversion of any Convertible Security are subject to restrictions on transfer set forth in this letter agreement and (ii) transfer, sell or dispose of shares of Common Stock acquired on the open market following the Offering, provided that no filing under the Exchange Act or other public announcement shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer, sale or disposition pursuant to this clause (ii) during the Lock-up Period, and (iii) transfer shares of Common Stock (A) to pay taxes (including estimated taxes) of the Holder in connection with the vesting or exercise of equity awards by the Holder pursuant to Holdings’ equity incentive, stock option, stock bonus or other stock plan or arrangement described in the Prospectus, (B) pursuant to a net exercise or cashless exercise by the Holder of outstanding equity awards pursuant to Holdings’ equity incentive, stock option, stock bonus or other stock plan or arrangement, provided that any Shares acquired upon the net exercise or cashless exercise of equity awards described in clause (iii)(B) shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this letter agreement; provided further, that no filing under the Exchange Act or other public announcement shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer or disposition pursuant to this clause (iii) during the Lock-up Period.

 

In the event that during the Lock-up Period, the Representatives waive any prohibition on the transfer of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock with respect to any officer or director of Holdings or any holder of more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis, the Representatives shall be deemed to have also waived, on the same terms, the prohibitions set forth in this Section 4(f) that would otherwise have applied to the Holder with respect to the same percentage of the Holder’s Conversion Units or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Conversion Units as the relative percentage of aggregate Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock held by such party receiving the waiver that are subject to such waiver.  The provisions of this paragraph will not apply: (1) unless and until the Representatives have first waived more than 1.0% of Holdings’ total outstanding shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion, exercise and exchange of all securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock) from such prohibitions or (2) (a) if the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not involving a disposition for value and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Section 4(f) to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.  In the event that any percentage of such Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock released from the prohibitions set forth in this Section 4(f) are subject to any restrictions of the type set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 4(f), the same restrictions shall be applicable to the release of the same percentage of the Holder’s Conversion Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Conversion Units. In the event that, as a result of this paragraph, any Conversion Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Conversion Units by the Holder are released from the restrictions imposed by this Section 4(f), Holdings, in consultation with the Representatives, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Holder within two business days of notification by the Representatives of such release that the same percentage of aggregate Conversion Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Conversion Units held by the Holder has been released; provided that the failure to give such notice to Holdings or the Holder shall not give rise to any claim or liability against Holdings or the underwriters in the Qualified IPO.

 

The terms of this Section 4(f) shall only be effective so long as equityholders of Holdings identified by the managing underwriters are entering into substantially the same lock-up agreements for an identical (or longer) term. The provisions of this Section 4(f) shall not apply to the sale of any Conversion Units to an underwriter

 

12

 

pursuant to an underwriting agreement.  The underwriters in connection with a Qualified IPO are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 4(f) and shall have the right, power, and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto.  In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, Holdings may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Conversion Units of each Holder until the end of such period.  For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 4(f) shall survive the conversion of this Amended and Restated Note into Conversion Units.  The Holder further agrees to execute an agreement with the Representatives reflecting the foregoing, the terms of any agreement executed with the Representatives (whether prior to or after the date of this Amended and Restated Note) to supersede all of the terms of this Section 4(f).

 

5. Redemption

 

(a)                On or after the later of (x) the first anniversary of August 28, 2015 and (y) the date of the consummation of a Qualified IPO, the Issuer may redeem Securities (including this Amended and Restated Note) at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed) of 150.00%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), payable (at the Issuer’s option) in cash or Class A Units (or Conversion Equity Units, as applicable) valued at VWAP (as defined in the Convertible Credit Facility Agreement); provided that the Issuer may not elect to pay the redemption price in Class A Units (or Conversion Equity Units, as applicable) unless the VWAP over the 30-day period prior to the date of the redemption notice is above 150% of the per share price in the Issuer’s Qualified IPO (as adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, and similar events affecting such shares).

 

(b)                In addition, on or after the later of (x) the third anniversary of August 28, 2015 and (y) the date of the consummation of a Qualified IPO, the Issuer may redeem Securities (including this Amended and Restated Note) at its option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price in cash (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed) of 110.00%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

 

(c)                 If Issuer or a third party is required to make a Change of Control Offer pursuant to Section 7 and in connection with such Change of Control Offer, Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities validly tender and do not withdraw such Securities in such Change of Control Offer and the Issuer or such third party purchases all of the Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer or such third party shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to such Change of Control Offer, to redeem all Securities that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed) of 110.00%, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the redemption date (provided that if such Change of Control occurs prior to a Qualified IPO, then such redemption price shall be 150.00%, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the redemption date).

 

(d)                Any redemption of Securities (including this Amended and Restated Note) may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, consummation of any related equity offering or related financing transaction.

 

(e)                 In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Securities for redemption will be made by the Issuer on a pro rata basis. The Issuer shall make the selection from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption.

 

(f)                  At least 30 but not more than 60 days before a redemption date pursuant to this Section 5, the Issuer shall deliver a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address or as otherwise permitted under the terms of the Securities. Such notice shall be irrevocable.

 

Any such redemption notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:

 

(i) the redemption date;

 

(ii) the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest to the redemption date;

 

13

 

(iii) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Issuer to collect the redemption price and accrued interest;

 

(iv) if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers and principal amounts of the particular Securities to be redeemed, the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be outstanding after such partial redemption;

 

(v) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Securities (or portions thereof) called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the redemption date; and

 

(vi) any conditions precedent (including, but not limited to, consummation of any related equity offering or related financing transaction) to such redemption.

 

(g)                 Once notice of redemption is delivered in accordance with Section 5(f), then, subject to satisfying any conditions precedent specified in such notice, Securities called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Issuer, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest, to, but excluding, the redemption date; provided, however, that if the redemption date is after a regular Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Securities registered on the relevant Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to the Holders whose Securities will be subject to redemption by the Issuer. Failure to deliver the redemption notice or any defect in the redemption notice delivered to any Holder of Securities shall not affect the validity of the redemption notice to any other Holder of Securities. With respect to any Securities called for redemption, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Issuer shall segregate and hold in trust money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date. On and after payment of the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest, to, but excluding, the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for redemption.

 

6. No Mandatory Redemption

 

(a)                The Issuer is not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to this Amended and Restated Note or any other Security.

 

7. Repurchase of Securities at the Option of the Holders upon Change of Control

 

(a)                Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Securities shall have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 110.00% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but excluding) the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), except to the extent the Issuer has previously or concurrently elected to redeem the Securities pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 5 of the Securities.

 

(b)                Not later than 30 days following any Change of Control, except to the extent that the Issuer has exercised its right to redeem the Securities in accordance with Section 5 of the Securities, the Issuer shall deliver a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of Securities stating:

 

(i) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Issuer to repurchase such Holder’s Securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 110% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but excluding) the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date);

 

(ii) the circumstances and relevant facts and financial information regarding such Change of Control;

 

(iii) the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered); and

 

(iv) the instructions determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section 7, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Securities purchased.

 

14

 

(c)                 Holders electing to have Securities purchased pursuant to this Section 7 shall be required to surrender the Securities, with an appropriate form duly completed (the form of which is attached hereto), to the Issuer at the address specified in the Change of Control Offer at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. The Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Securities which were delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Securities purchased. Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part shall be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered.

 

(d)                On the purchase date, the Issuer shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Holders entitled thereto (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), and all Securities purchased by the Issuer under this Section 7 shall be promptly cancelled and shall no longer be considered outstanding for any purpose.

 

(e)                 A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

 

(f)                  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7, the Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 7 of the Securities applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Securities purchased by a third party pursuant to this clause (f) shall have the status of Securities issued and outstanding and shall not be cancelled.

 

(g)                 A Security shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Holder of such Security receives payment therefor.

 

(h)                The Issuer shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to this Section 7. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 7, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 7 by virtue thereof.

 

(k)                Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5(c), the Issuer may redeem outstanding Securities in connection with a Change of Control Offer under the circumstances, and at the redemption price, set forth in Section 5 of the Securities.

 

(l)                    For purposes of the Securities, a “Change of Control” shall mean:

 

(i) prior to a Qualifying IPO:

(C)                               the occupation of a majority of the seats (other than vacant seats) on the board of directors (or other equivalent body) of Holdings by Persons who were neither (x) nominated by the board of directors of Holdings, nor (y) appointed by directors so nominated; or

(9)                any United States intent-to-use trademark application prior to the filing of a “Statement of Use” or “Amendment to Allege Use” with respect thereto, to the extent, if any, that, and solely during the period, if any, in which, the creation by the Issuer or a Guarantor of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark application under applicable federal law, rule or regulation; provided that immediately upon the time at which the foregoing consequences shall no longer exist, the Collateral shall include, and the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in, all of such Issuer or Guarantor’s right, title and interest in such application;

In such event, the Securities Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Holder of Securities, to the extent necessary to subject to the Liens under the Securities Documents such additional Equity Interests and other securities.

 

(ii)                                  No Subsidiary that is not a Material Subsidiary will be required to become a Guarantor.

 

(iii)                               Any delivery of collateral otherwise required by the Securities or any of the Securities Documents shall be deemed satisfied if delivered to the Convertible Credit Facility Administrative Agent or the Control Agent, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

15. Collateral Agent; Security; Intercreditor Agreement

 

(a)                                 By its acceptance of a Note, each Holder of Securities has irrevocably designated and appointed Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, and its successors and assigns, as the Collateral Agent for the Securities under the Guaranty and Security Agreement (the “Collateral Agent”), pursuant to the Collateral Agency Agreement. Each such Holder irrevocably directs the Collateral Agent, in such capacity, to execute and deliver the Guaranty and Security Agreement and authorizes the Collateral Agent, in such capacity, pursuant to and in accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Securities and the other Securities Documents, including the authority to execute and deliver the Securities Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of the Securities and the other Securities Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in the Securities, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in the Securities Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any Holder, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into the Securities or any other Securities Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.

 

(b)                                 Reserved.

 

(c)                                  The Holder of this Amended and Restated Note and the Holders of each Security, by accepting a Security, are deemed to agree that the Liens on the Collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations and the Guarantees under the Guaranty and Security Agreement are subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. The Holder of this Amended and Restated Note, and the Holders of each Security, by accepting a Security authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of the Holders of Securities and agree

 

35

 

that the Holders of Securities shall comply with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to them in their capacities as such to the same extent as if the Holders of Securities were parties thereto.

 

(d)                                 The Guaranteed Obligations and the Guarantees under the Guaranty and Security Agreement are secured as provided in the Securities Documents and will be secured by additional security documents to the extent required or permitted by the Securities Documents. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall deliver and make all filings (including filings of continuation statements and amendments to UCC financing statements that may be necessary to continue the effectiveness of such UCC financing statements) necessary to maintain (at the sole cost and expense of the Issuer and the Guarantors) the security interest created by the Securities Documents in the Collateral (as defined in the Securities Documents) as a perfected security interest to the extent perfection is required by the Securities Documents.

 

(e)                                  The Collateral Agent shall have all the rights and protections provided in the Securities Documents and the Collateral Agency Agreement in connection with any action taken or not taken by it as Collateral Agent.

 

(f)                                   Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents shall be responsible or liable for the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any Collateral, for the legality, enforceability, effectiveness or sufficiency of the Securities Documents, for the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any Liens, or any defect or deficiency as to any such matters, except as required by the Securities Documents.

 

(g)                               Subject to the provisions of the Securities Documents, the Collateral Agent may, at the direction of Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Securities, take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to:

 

(A) foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any or all of the Liens securing the Securities and/or the Guarantees under the Guaranty and Security Agreement;

 

(B) enforce any of the terms of the Securities Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party; or

 

(C) collect and receive payment of any and all obligations in respect of the Securities or the Guarantees under the Guaranty and Security Agreement.

 

(h)                                 Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and empowered by the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note, together with the Holder of each Security, (by its acceptance hereof) to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem reasonably expedient to protect or enforce the Liens securing the Guaranteed Obligations and/or the Guarantees under the Guaranty and Security Agreement or the Securities Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party or to prevent any impairment of Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Securities Documents or the Securities, and such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably expedient, at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense, to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders of the Securities in the Collateral, including the power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the second priority Liens securing the Securities and/or the Guarantees under the Guaranty and Security Agreement or be prejudicial to the interests of Holders of the Securities or the Collateral Agent.

 

(j)                                    Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Securities Documents at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(k)                                 The security interests in the Collateral securing the Obligations under the Securities (including this Amended and Restated Note) and the Securities Documents will be, pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, second in priority to any and all security interests at any time granted to secure the obligations under the Non-Convertible Credit Facility Loan Documents and the Convertible Credit Facility Loan Documents (in each case, including any refinancings of such obligations) and will also be subject to all other Permitted Liens. The Intercreditor Agreement defines the relative rights of Liens granted to the Holders of Securities and the Liens granted in favor of the Control Agent and the Convertible Credit Facility Agent to secure the Indebtedness under the Non-Convertible Credit Facility Loan Documents and the Convertible Credit Facility Loan Documents, respectively. In the event of any

 

36

 

conflict or inconsistency among the provisions of the Securities or the Securities Documents (other than the Intercreditor Agreement), on the one hand, and the Intercreditor Agreement, on the other hand, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

 

(l)                                     Reference is made to the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Security, (a) consents to the subordination of Liens provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (c) authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement solely to act for the benefit of such Holder. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities to extend credit and such lenders are intended third party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

16. No Recourse Against Others

 

No director, officer, employee, incorporator of Holdings, Issuer or any of their respective Subsidiaries and no holder of any Equity Interests in Holdings or any direct or indirect parent thereof, as such, shall have any liability for any Obligations or any Guaranteed Obligations or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability.

 

17. [Intentionally Omitted].

 

18. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws; Waiver of Jury Trial.

 

Neither Holdings, the Issuer and any Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Amended and Restated Note; and Holdings, the Issuer and the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to them, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 

EACH OF HOLDINGS, THE ISSUER, AND THE GUARANTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SECURITIES, INCLUDING THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED NOTE, OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
