Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, on May 13, 2024, LivePerson, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a privately negotiated exchange and purchase agreement (the “Original Agreement”) with Lynrock Lake Master Fund LP (“Lynrock”). On June 3, 2024, the Company and Lynrock entered into a First Amendment to the Exchange and Purchase Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement Amendment”, and the Original Agreement as so amended, the “Exchange and Purchase Agreement”), dated as of June 3, 2024.

Pursuant to the Exchange and Purchase Agreement, on June 3, 2024, the Company consummated (i) an exchange (the “Exchange”) of $145,957,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 0% Convertible Senior Notes due December 15, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) held by Lynrock for $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of First Lien Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “New Notes”), (ii) a private offering and sale of $50,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of New Notes to Lynrock for a subscription price of $50,000,000 (the “Initial Draw Notes”) and (iii) issuances to Lynrock of 10-year warrants with a strike price of $0.75 per share, exercisable for approximately 8.9% of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), calculated on a fully diluted basis (the “Share-Settled Warrants”) and 10-year warrants with a strike price of $0.75 per share, exercisable with respect to a notional amount of approximately 2.1% of the Common Stock for cash payments equal to the excess of Fair Market Value (as defined therein) per share over the strike price, fully diluted subject to certain adjustments (the “Cash-Settled Warrants,” and collectively with the Share-Settled Warrants, the “Warrants.”). The Cash-Settled Warrants will permit the Company, subject to certain conditions (including that the Company has maximum Available Cash (as defined therein) of $100,000,000), to defer payment of the settlement amount at an annualized interest rate of 6.0%, compounded monthly. Warrants outstanding at the 10-year expiration will be exercised automatically (and in the case of the Share-Settled Warrants, will be exercised on a cashless basis) if, immediately prior to the expiration, the Fair Market Value per share is greater than the strike price.

The Initial Draw Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of June 3, 2024, by and among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”). Pursuant to the Exchange and Purchase Agreement, Lynrock has agreed to purchase up to $50,000,000 of additional New Notes upon the Company’s request at any time prior to December 3, 2024 for an aggregate cash purchase price equal to the aggregate principal amount of the New Notes so purchased (the “Delayed Draw Notes”).

The New Notes are guaranteed on a senior basis by certain of the Company’s direct and indirect domestic and foreign subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and secured by first priority security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, subject to customary exceptions. Accordingly, the New Notes rank effectively senior to the 2026 Notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing the New Notes, and the 2026 Notes are also structurally subordinated to the guarantees of the New Notes. The Indenture contains affirmative and negative covenants and events of default customary for senior secured indebtedness. The negative covenants include limitations on asset sales, the incurrence of debt, preferred stock and liens, fundamental changes, investments, dividends and other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries, restricted payments and transactions with affiliates. Among other things, these covenants generally prohibit the payment of cash dividends on the Common Stock. The Indenture permits the Company and its subsidiaries to incur, subject to certain requirements, up to $150,000,000 of debt that is junior in lien priority and subordinated in right of payment to the New Notes. The Indenture also includes a financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain a minimum cash balance of $60,000,000 at all times. Upon request of Lynrock, the Indenture requires the Company to enter into a registration rights agreement with respect to the New Notes containing customary terms including demand, shelf and piggyback registration rights.

From June 3, 2024 until the earlier of the date of issuance of the Delayed Draw Notes and December 15, 2026, interest on the New Notes will accrue at a rate of 10.83% (consisting of 4.17% cash and 6.66% paid in kind (“PIK”)) per annum. From the date of issuance of the Delayed Draw Notes and prior to December 15, 2026, interest on the New Notes will increase and accrue at a rate of 11.375% (consisting of 4.375% cash and 7.00% PIK) per annum. On and after December 15, 2026, interest on the New Notes will further increase and accrue at a rate of 13% (consisting of 5% cash and 8% PIK) per annum.

The New Notes will mature on the earlier of (a) June 15, 2029 and (b) 91 days before the maturity of the 2026 Notes, if greater than $60,000,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes remains outstanding on such date. The amount payable by the Company if the New Notes mature pursuant to clause (b) will be equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including cash and PIK components thereof), plus the remaining future interest payments (including cash and PIK components thereof) that would have been payable through June 15, 2029, discounted at a rate equal to the comparable treasury rate plus 50 basis points (the “Make-Whole Amount”). The Company may, at its option, redeem the New Notes, in whole or in part, on a pro rata basis, prior to June 15, 2025 at a price equal to the Make-Whole Amount. On or after June 15, 2025, and prior to June 15, 2026, the Company may, at its option, redeem the New Notes, in whole or in part on a pro rata basis for an amount of cash equal to the sum of (i) 106.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Notes



(including all increases to the principal amount as the result of previous payments of PIK Interest) plus (ii) 106.50% of all accrued and unpaid PIK interest plus (iii) all accrued and unpaid cash interest. On or after June 15, 2026, and prior to December 15, 2026, the Company may, at its option, redeem the New Notes, in whole or in part on a pro rata basis for an amount of cash equal to the sum of (i) 103.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Notes (including all increases to the principal amount as the result of previous payments of PIK Interest) plus (ii) 103.25% of all accrued and unpaid PIK interest plus (iii) all accrued and unpaid cash interest. From December 15, 2026 until maturity, the Company may, at its option, redeem the New Notes, in whole or in part on a pro rata basis for an amount of cash equal to the sum of (i) 113% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Notes (including all increases to the principal amount as the result of previous payments of PIK Interest) plus (ii) 113% of all accrued and unpaid PIK interest plus (iii) all accrued and unpaid cash interest. In addition, the Make-Whole Amount will be payable in the event of an acceleration of the Notes or repurchase triggered by certain asset sales. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (which includes a change of control or certain delistings of the Common Stock), holders may require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of their New Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including cash and PIK components thereof), plus an amount equal to 66% of the remaining future interest payments (including cash and PIK components thereof) that would have been payable through June 15, 2029, discounted at a rate equal to the comparable treasury rate plus 50 basis points.

The New Notes (including all accrued and unpaid interest (including cash and PIK components thereof)) are convertible at the option of the holders thereof at certain times into cash based on a daily conversion value calculated on a proportionate basis for each trading day in a 50 trading day observation period, initially corresponding to 13.2933 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of New Notes. The Company is not required to deliver Common Stock upon conversion under any circumstances. The conversion rate for the New Notes is subject to adjustment if certain events occur and contains customary anti-dilution protections.

Holders of the Notes may convert their Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding February 15, 2029 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2024 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the Notes on each applicable trading day as determined by the Company; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the Trading Price (as defined in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Common Stock and the product of (x) the quotient of (i) the Conversion Amount (as defined in the Indenture) in respect of $1,000 principal amount of Notes on such trading day divided by (ii) 1,000 times (y) the conversion rate for the Notes on each such trading day; (3) with respect to any Notes that the Company calls for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events; or (5) during the period from August 17, 2026 through September 14, 2026, if the aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes exceeds $60,000,000 on August 16, 2026. On or after February 15, 2029, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at any time prior to the close of business on June 13, 2029, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

The Warrants contain customary anti-dilution protections and a beneficial ownership limitation on Lynrock’s ownership of the Common Stock, on a post-exercise basis (aggregating all securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock), of 4.99%, subject to increase upon 61 days’ notice by Lynrock, but not to exceed 9.99%.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement Amendment, the Company has agreed, among other things, to (a) not amend, supplement or otherwise modify certain provisions of the Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement, or make certain determinations thereunder, without the consent of Lynrock, (b) not enter into (or permit any of its subsidiaries to enter into) any line of business it was not already engaged in on June 3, 2024 without the consent of Lynrock and (c) deliver certain written reports relating to specified provisions of the Indenture to Lynrock, in each case, so long as Lynrock maintains certain beneficial ownership of the New Notes.

In connection with the Exchange, the Company expects to unwind a portion of the capped call options associated with the aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes exchanged.

Copies of the Indenture, the form of New Note, the Share-Settled Warrant, the Cash-Settled Warrant and the Exchange Agreement Amendment are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and

WHEREAS, all acts and things necessary to make the Notes, when executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or a duly authorized authenticating agent, as in this Indenture provided, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company, and this Indenture a valid agreement according to its terms, have been done and performed, and the execution of this Indenture by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors and the issuance hereunder of the Notes by the Company have in all respects been duly authorized.
NOW, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH:
That in order to declare the terms and conditions upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated, issued and delivered, and in consideration of the premises and of the purchase and acceptance of the Notes by the Holders thereof, each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors covenants and agrees with the Trustee and the Collateral Agent for the equal and proportionate benefit of the respective Holders from time to time of the Notes (except as otherwise provided below), as follows:
ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS
Section 1.01    Definitions. The terms defined in this Section 1.01 (except as herein otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires) for all purposes of this Indenture and of any indenture supplemental hereto shall have the respective meanings specified in this Section 1.01.
1



Acceleration Date” means the date on which all the Notes have been declared or have become due and payable pursuant to Section 6.02.
Acceleration Premium” means, with respect to any Note on any applicable Acceleration Date, the present value at such Acceleration Date of all unpaid interest payments in the full amount of Stated Interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) that would be due after such Acceleration Date on such Note (and on any PIK Notes that would be issued to effect payment of such PIK Interest) through the Stated Maturity if such acceleration had not occurred (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Acceleration Date), computed using a discount rate equal to the relevant Premium Treasury Rate as of such Acceleration Date plus 50 basis points, as calculated by the Company or its agent; the Trustee shall have no responsibility to calculate or verify the calculation of the Acceleration Premium.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the determination of whether one Person is an “Affiliate” of another Person for purposes of this Indenture shall be made based on the facts at the time such determination is made or required to be made, as the case may be, hereunder. For purposes of this definition, the Designated Holders will not be deemed an “Affiliate” of the Company as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement.

Asset Sale” means:
(a)    the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of any assets or rights (whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) outside of the ordinary course of business of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, that the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be governed under Article 11; and
(b)    the issuance of Capital Stock by any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or the sale of Capital Stock in any of the Company’s Subsidiaries (other than directors’ qualifying Capital Stock or Capital Stock required by applicable law to be held by a Person other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries).

(j)    non-exclusive licenses or sublicenses of intellectual property rights to non-Affiliates for Fair Market Value (for the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise excluded pursuant to any other clause of this definition, any exclusive licenses or sublicenses of intellectual property rights to non-Affiliates shall be an Asset Sale); and
(k)    additional non-ordinary course asset sales, transfers or other dispositions in an aggregate amount during the term of this Indenture not to exceed $1,000,000 of Fair Market Value determined at the time of sale, transfer or disposition, as applicable.

Thus, as an example, and for the avoidance of doubt, upon the occurrence of an Asset Sale Trigger, the amount payable as the “Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price” on all Notes (including any Notes previously issued as PIK Notes) to be repurchased on the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date (unless
4



such Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date falls after an Interest Record Date but on or prior to the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date) will consist of cash in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes plus (ii) all the accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes at the full amount of Stated Interest to, but excluding, such Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date plus (iii) the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Premium on such Notes (including any such Notes previously issued as PIK Notes).
To continue this example and for the further avoidance of doubt, if the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date falls after an Interest Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Interest Record Date relates, then (i) the Holders at the close of business on such Interest Record Date of all the Notes (including any Notes previously issued as PIK Notes) to be repurchased will be entitled, notwithstanding such Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date, to receive, on such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest on such Notes at the full amount of Stated Interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) that would have accrued on such Notes to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date (assuming, solely for these purposes, that such Notes remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date, if such Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date is before such Interest Payment Date); and (ii) the Holders of such Notes to be repurchased on the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date will be entitled to receive on such Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price in an amount in cash equal to the sum of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes plus the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Premium on such Notes (including any such Notes previously issued as PIK Notes).
Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price” shall have the meaning specified in Section 4.13(b)(i).
Asset Sale Trigger” shall have the meaning specified in Section 4.13(b)(i).

Redeemable Equity” means any equity security of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that by its terms (or by terms of any security into which it is convertible or for which it is exchangeable), or otherwise (including by the passage of time or the happening of an event), is required to be redeemed (other than solely for common stock or another security that is not Redeemable Equity or Indebtedness and cash in lieu of fractional shares), is redeemable (other than solely for common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares) at the option of the holder thereof in whole or in part (including by operation of a sinking fund), or is convertible or exchangeable for Indebtedness of such Person (with a scheduled maturity prior to the 366th day immediately following the Stated Maturity), in each case, at the option of the holder thereof, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the 366th day immediately following the Stated Maturity (other than upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, change of control or Asset Sale); provided, however, that only the portion of such equity security which is required to be redeemed, is so convertible or exchangeable or is so redeemable at the option of the holder thereof before such date will be deemed to be Redeemable Equity.

The aggregate principal amount of Redeemable Equity deemed to be outstanding at any time for purposes of this Indenture will be the maximum amount that the Company or its Subsidiaries may become obligated to pay upon the maturity of, or pursuant to any mandatory redemption provisions of, such Redeemable Equity or portion thereof, exclusive of accrued dividends.
Redemption Date” shall have the meaning specified in Section 16.02(a).
Redemption Notice” shall have the meaning specified in Section 16.02(a).

(b)    if the Redemption Date is on or after June 15, 2025 and prior to June 15, 2026, the sum of (i) 6.50% of the aggregate principal amount of such Note plus (ii) 6.50% of the portion of the accrued and unpaid interest on such Note to, but excluding, such Redemption Date that would (without giving effect to Section 2.03(d)) otherwise be payable solely in the form of PIK Interest pursuant to Section 2.03(c);
27



(c)    if the Redemption Date is on or after June 15, 2026 and prior to December 15, 2026, the sum of (i) 3.25% of the aggregate principal amount of such Note plus (ii) 3.25% of the portion of the accrued and unpaid interest on such Note to, but excluding, such Redemption Date that would (without giving effect to Section 2.03(d)) otherwise be payable solely in the form of PIK Interest pursuant to Section 2.03(c); or
(d)    if the Redemption Date is on or after December 15, 2026, the sum of (i) 13.00% of the aggregate principal amount of such Note plus (ii) 13.00% of the portion of the accrued and unpaid interest on such Note to, but excluding, such Redemption Date that would (without giving effect to Section 2.03(d)) otherwise be payable solely in the form of PIK Interest pursuant to Section 2.03(c);
provided, that the Trustee shall have no responsibility to calculate or verify the calculation of the Redemption Premium.
Thus, as an example, and for the avoidance of doubt, if the Company elects an Optional Redemption of all the Notes on any Redemption Date prior to June 15, 2025 (unless such Redemption Date falls after an Interest Record Date but on or prior to the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date), the amount payable as the “Redemption Price” on the Redemption Date will consist of cash in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes plus (ii) all the accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes at the full amount of Stated Interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) to but excluding such Redemption Date plus (iii) the present value at such Redemption Date of all unpaid interest payments in the full amount of Stated Interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) that would be due after such Redemption Date on such Note (and on any PIK Notes that would be issued to effect payment of such PIK Interest) through the Stated Maturity if such Optional Redemption had not occurred (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date), computed using a discount rate equal to the relevant Premium Treasury Rate as of such Redemption Date plus 50 basis points, as calculated by the Company or its agent.
As a further example, and for the avoidance of doubt, if the Company elects an Optional Redemption of all the Notes on any Redemption Date on or after December 15, 2026 (other than a Redemption Date that falls after an Interest Record Date but on or prior to the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date), the amount payable as the “Redemption Price” on Redemption Date will consist of cash in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 113% of the aggregate principal amount of all of the Notes (including the principal amount of all Notes previously issued as PIK Notes) plus (ii) 113% of all the accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes (including on all of the Notes previously issued as PIK Notes) to, but excluding, such Redemption Date that would otherwise be payable in the form of PIK Interest plus (iii) all the accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes (including on all of the Notes previously issued as PIK Notes) to, but excluding, such Redemption Date that would in any event (and regardless of such Optional Redemption) be payable in cash.
To continue these examples, and for the further avoidance of doubt, if the Redemption Date falls after an Interest Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Interest Record Date relates, then (i) the Holders at the close of business on such Interest Record Date of all the Notes (including any Notes previously issued as PIK Notes) to be redeemed will be entitled, notwithstanding such Redemption Date, to receive, on such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest on such Notes at the full amount of Stated Interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) that would have accrued on such Notes to, but excluding such Interest Payment Date (assuming solely for these purposes, that such Notes remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date, if such
28



Redemption Date is before such Interest Payment Date) and (ii) the Holders of such Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date will be entitled to receive on such Redemption Date the Redemption Price in an amount in cash equal to the sum of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes plus the Redemption Premium on such Notes (including any such Notes previously issued as PIK Notes).
Redemption Price” means, for any Notes to be redeemed pursuant to Section 16.01, (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest at the full amount of Stated Interest (including the cash and PIK Interest components thereof) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (unless the Redemption Date falls after an Interest Record Date but on or prior to the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date, in which case the Company shall instead pay, on such Interest Payment Date, to the Holders of record of such Notes to be redeemed as of the close of business on such Interest Record Date the full amount of the accrued and unpaid interest at the full amount of Stated Interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) that would have accrued on such Notes to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date (assuming, solely for these purposes, that such Notes remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date) plus (iii) the applicable Redemption Premium on such Notes (including any such Notes previously issued as PIK Notes).

(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any accrued but unpaid interest otherwise payable in the form of PIK Interest (i) on any Acceleration Date, Redemption Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date or Maturity Date; (ii) if any
36



Notes mature or are repurchased or redeemed, as applicable, on an Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date, Existing Notes Test Maturity Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Redemption Date that falls after an Interest Record Date but on or prior to the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date, on such immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date in accordance with the proviso to Section 4.13(b)(i), the proviso to Section 15.01(a), the proviso to Section 15.02(a) or the third sentence of Section 16.03(a), as applicable; or (iii) upon an exercise of remedies upon an Event of Default or otherwise pursuant to Section 6.04, Section 6.05, Section 6.06, Section 6.09, Section 6.10 or Section 6.11 shall, in any such case, accrue at the rate specified in Section 2.03(c) for PIK Interest but be payable solely in cash.
(e)    Any Defaulted Amounts shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant payment date but such Defaulted Amounts shall accrue interest per annum at a rate equal to the rate per annum at which Stated Interest accrues (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof), subject to the enforceability thereof under applicable law, from, and including, such relevant payment date to, but excluding, the date on which such Defaulted Amounts shall have been paid by the Company, and such Defaulted Amounts together with any such interest thereon shall be paid solely in cash by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below:
(i)    The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Amounts to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of the Defaulted Amounts proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than 25 days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Amounts or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Amounts as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Company shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such special record date and the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor to be delivered to each Holder at its address as it appears in the Note Register, or by electronic means to the Depositary in the case of Global Notes, not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor having been so delivered, such Defaulted Amounts shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii) of this Section 2.03(e). The Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever for the calculation of the Defaulted Amounts.
(ii)    The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Amounts in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after written notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
37



(f)    On each Interest Payment Date, upon the Trustee’s receipt of a Company Order in accordance with Section 2.04, there will be originally issued such aggregate principal amount of PIK Notes as is required for issuance in connection with the PIK Payment required to be made on such Interest Payment Date.
Section 2.04    Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Notes. The Notes shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual, facsimile or other electronic signature of any of its Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary or any of its Executive or Senior Vice Presidents.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, subject to Section 2.01(a), the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes, without any further action by the Company hereunder; provided, that the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel of the Company with respect to the issuance, authentication and delivery of such Notes.
Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the Form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto, executed manually by an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 17.09), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
In case any Officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such Officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such Officer of the Company; and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the Officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such Person was not such an Officer.
Section 2.05    Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Restrictions on Transfer; Depositary.
(a)    The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. Such register shall be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable period of time. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed the “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Company may appoint one or more co-Note Registrars in accordance with Section 4.02.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note to the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar, and satisfaction of the requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section 2.05, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
38



transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any Authorized Denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.
Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any Authorized Denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.
All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, repurchase or conversion shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note Registrar or the Paying Agent for any exchange or registration of transfer of Notes, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or other similar governmental charge required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of new Notes issued upon such exchange or registration of transfer being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer or otherwise required by law.
None of the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of (i) any Notes surrendered for conversion or, if a portion of any Note is surrendered for conversion, such portion thereof surrendered for conversion, (ii) any Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in accordance with Article 15 or (iii) any Notes selected for redemption in accordance with Article 16, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with this Indenture shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(b)    So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, subject to the fourth paragraph from the end of Section 2.05(c) all Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form (each, a “Global Note”) registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary. Each Global Note shall bear the legend required on a Global Note set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note that does not involve the issuance of a Physical Note shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance with this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the Applicable Procedures therefor.
(c)    Every Note that bears or is required under this Section 2.05(c) to bear the legend set forth in this Section 2.05(c) (the “Restricted Securities”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.05(c) (including those contained in the legend set forth below), unless such restrictions on transfer shall be eliminated or otherwise waived by written consent of the Company, and
39



the Holder of each such Restricted Security, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in this Section 2.05(c) and Section 2.05(d), the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security.
Until the date (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) that is the later of (1) the date that is one year after the last Issue Date of the Notes, or such shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144 or any successor provision thereto, and (2) such later date, if any, as may be required by applicable law, any certificate evidencing such Note (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (unless such Notes have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, with notice thereof to the Trustee):
THIS SECURITY AND THE RELATED NOTE GUARANTEES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER:
(A)    REPRESENTS THAT IT AND ANY ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS ACTING IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) AND THAT IT EXERCISES SOLE INVESTMENT DISCRETION WITH RESPECT TO EACH SUCH ACCOUNT, AND
(B)    AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF LIVEPERSON, INC. (THE “COMPANY”) THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR THE RELATED NOTE GUARANTEES OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN OR THEREIN PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THE LATER OF (X) ONE YEAR AFTER THE LAST ISSUE DATE OF THE SERIES OF NOTES OR SUCH SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME AS PERMITTED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION THERETO AND (Y) SUCH LATER DATE, IF ANY, AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT:
i.    TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, OR
ii.    PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR
iii.    TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR
iv.    PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE (2)(B)(iv) ABOVE, THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS
40



MAY REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
No transfer of any Note prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date will be registered by the Note Registrar unless the applicable box on the Form of Assignment and Transfer has been checked.
Any Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) (i) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms, (ii) that has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become effective or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer or (iii) that has been sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, may, upon surrender of such Note for exchange to the Note Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.05, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.05(c) and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number. The Company shall be entitled to instruct the Custodian in writing to so surrender any Global Note as to which any of the conditions set forth in clause (i) through (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied, and, upon such instruction, the Custodian shall so surrender such Global Note for exchange; and any new Global Note so exchanged therefor shall not bear the restrictive legend specified in this Section 2.05(c) and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing upon the occurrence of the Resale Restriction Termination Date and promptly after a registration statement, if any, with respect to the Notes has been declared effective under the Securities Act. Any exchange pursuant to the foregoing paragraph shall be in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in this Section 2.05(c)), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole or in part except (i) by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary and (ii) for exchange of a Global Note or a portion thereof for one or more Physical Notes in accordance with the second immediately succeeding paragraph.
The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to each Global Note. Initially, each Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Custodian.
If (i) the Depositary notifies the Company at any time that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing and, subject to the Applicable Procedures, a beneficial owner of any Note requests that its beneficial interest therein be issued as a Physical Note, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver (x) in the case of clause (iii), a Physical Note to such beneficial owner in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Note corresponding to such beneficial owner’s beneficial interest and (y) in the case of clause (i) or (ii),
41



Physical Notes to each beneficial owner of the related Global Notes (or a portion thereof) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes, and upon delivery of the Global Notes to the Trustee such Global Notes shall be canceled.
Physical Notes issued in exchange for all or a part of the Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, or, in the case of clause (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph, the relevant beneficial owner, shall instruct the Trustee. Upon execution and authentication, the Trustee shall deliver Physical Notes to the Persons in whose names such Physical Notes are so registered.
At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been converted, canceled, redeemed, repurchased or transferred, such Global Note shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Physical Notes, converted, canceled, redeemed, repurchased or transferred to a transferee who receives Physical Notes therefor or any Physical Note is exchanged or transferred for part of such Global Note, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase.
None of the Company, the Trustee (including in its capacity as Paying Agent) or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for the payment of amounts to owners of beneficial interest in a Global Note, for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of those interests by the Depositary, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
(d)    [Reserved].
(e)    Any Note issued upon the conversion or exchange of a Note that is repurchased or owned by any Affiliate of the Company (or any Person who was an Affiliate of the Company at any time during the three months immediately preceding) may not be resold by such Affiliate (or such Person, as the case may be) unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction that results in such Note no longer being a “restricted security” (as defined under Rule 144). The Company shall cause any Note that is repurchased or owned by it to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.08.
(f)    The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any securities laws or restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
(g)    Neither the Trustee nor any agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary, and may assume performance absent written notice to the contrary.
42



Section 2.06    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. In case any Note shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon its written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Note, bearing a registration number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.
The Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and deliver the same upon the receipt of such security or indemnity as the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, such authenticating agent may require. No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note Registrar or the Paying Agent upon the issuance of any substitute Note, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or other similar governmental charge required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new substitute Note being different from the name of the Holder of the old Note that became mutilated or was destroyed, lost or stolen. In case any Note that has matured or is about to mature or has been surrendered for required repurchase or for redemption or is about to be converted in accordance with Article 14 shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, in its sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or authorize the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.
Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement, payment, redemption, conversion or repurchase of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement, payment, redemption, conversion or repurchase of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.
Section 2.07    Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Physical Notes, the Company may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Company, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any Authorized Denomination, and substantially in the form of the Physical Notes but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially
43



the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Physical Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Physical Notes (other than any Global Note) and thereupon any or all temporary Notes (other than any Global Note) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Physical Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 2.08    Cancellation of Notes Paid, Converted, Etc. The Company shall cause all Notes surrendered for payment, repurchase, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee (including any of the Company’s agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates), to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. All Notes delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled promptly by it in accordance with its customary procedures, and no Notes shall be authenticated in exchange therefor except for Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures and, after such disposition, shall deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Company upon the Company’s written request.
Section 2.09    CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in all notices issued to Holders as a convenience to such Holders; provided, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or on such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.
Section 2.10    Additional Notes; Repurchases. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement, the Company may, without the consent of or notice to the Holders and notwithstanding Section 2.01(a), reopen this Indenture to issue Additional Notes hereunder solely to satisfy the Company’s obligations in relation to the Delayed Draw Purchase. Any Additional Notes issued shall have the same terms as the Notes initially issued hereunder (other than differences in the issue date, the issue price, and, if applicable, restrictions on transfer in respect of such Additional Notes (including pursuant to Section 2.05 hereunder)); provided, that if any such Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal securities law or income tax purposes, such Additional Notes shall have one or more separate CUSIP numbers. The Initial Notes, any Additional Notes and any PIK Notes (and any Replacement Notes in respect thereof) shall be treated as a single series for all purposes under this Indenture, including directions, waivers, amendments, consents, liquidating distributions and offers to purchase, and none of the Holders of any Initial Notes, any Additional Notes or any PIK Notes (and any Replacement Notes in respect thereof) shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent.  Prior to the issuance of any such Additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters required by Section 17.05. In addition, subject to the Exchange Agreement, the Company may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), repurchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives, in each case, without prior written notice to Holders. The Company shall cause any Notes so repurchased to be surrendered to the Trustee for
44



cancellation in accordance with Section 2.08 and such Notes shall no longer be considered outstanding under this Indenture upon their repurchase.
Section 2.11    Issuance of PIK Notes.
(a)    In connection with any payment of the portion of Stated Interest in respect of the Notes that the Company is required pursuant to Section 2.03(c) to effect payment in the form of PIK Interest, the Company shall, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, make such payment of PIK Interest by increasing the principal amount of the Global Notes to reflect such PIK Interest payable on such Global Notes or by issuing additional Physical Notes to Holders of Physical Notes to reflect such PIK Interest payable on such Physical Notes (the Notes represented by the increase to the principal amount of Global Notes or by such additional Physical Notes, as applicable, the “PIK Notes”) under this Indenture on the same terms and conditions as the Notes (in each case, a “PIK Payment”); and upon any PIK Payment being so effected, such portion of Stated Interest shall be deemed to have been paid in full; provided, that any such amount of PIK Interest shall be rounded up to the nearest $1.00; provided, further, that in the case of any PIK Payment on a Global Note, the Company shall deliver a Company Order to the Trustee and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of such a Company Order, increase the principal amount of such Global Note by such PIK Payment. The Initial Notes, any Additional Notes and any PIK Notes (and any Replacement Notes in respect thereof) shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including directions, waivers, amendments, consents, liquidating distributions and offers to purchase, and none of the Holders of any Initial Notes, any Additional Notes or any PIK Notes (and any Replacement Notes in respect thereof) shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent. Any PIK Payment made with respect to an unrestricted Note shall be in the form of (i) with respect to owners of beneficial interests in an unrestricted Global Note, an increase of the principal amount of such unrestricted Global Note or (ii) with respect to Holders of unrestricted Physical Notes, by issuance of new unrestricted Physical Notes. Following an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Global Notes as a result of a PIK Payment, the Global Notes shall bear interest on such increased principal amount from and after the date of such PIK Payment. Any PIK Notes issued as Physical Notes shall be dated as of the applicable Interest Payment Date and shall bear interest from and after such date. All PIK Notes issued pursuant to a PIK Payment shall be governed by, and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of, this Indenture and shall have the same rights and benefits as the Notes issued on the Original Issue Date.
(b)    With respect to any PIK Notes to be authenticated by the Trustee (including by increasing the principal amount of any Global Notes), the Company shall set forth in a Company Order, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to original issuance thereof, the following information:
(i)    the aggregate principal amount of such PIK Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;
(ii)    the issue date (and the corresponding date from which interest shall accrue thereon and the first Interest Payment Date therefor), the CUSIP and/or ISIN number of such PIK Notes;
(iii)     whether such PIK Notes shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein relating to restricted Global Notes and restricted Physical Notes; and
45



(iv)    (a) the principal amount of such PIK Notes to be issued by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Global Notes held in book-entry form and (b) the principal amount of such PIK Notes to be issued by issuing new Physical Notes.
ARTICLE 3
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

48



the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, promptly provide to the Trustee and will, upon written request, provide to any Holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser of such Notes the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to facilitate the resale of such Notes pursuant to Rule 144A.

Any such document or report that the Company files with the Commission via the Commission’s EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee for purposes of this Section 4.06(b) at the time such documents are filed via the EDGAR system (or any successor thereto), it being understood that the Trustee shall not be responsible for determining whether such filings have been made.
(c)    Delivery of the reports, information and documents described in subsection (b) above to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on an Officer’s Certificate).
(d)    If, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date that is six months after the Original Issue Date, or if the Delayed Draw Purchase occurs, six months after the Additional Notes Issue Date, the Company fails to timely file any document or report that it is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods thereunder or otherwise permitted by the Commission and other than reports on Form 8-K), or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates or Holders that have been the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three months immediately preceding (as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes), the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes. Such Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes at the rate of 0.25% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the first 90 days after the Company’s failure to file has occurred and is continuing or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable as described above by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates (or Holders that have been the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three months immediately preceding), and 0.50% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the period from the 91st day after the Company’s failure to file has occurred and is continuing or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates (or Holders that have been the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three months immediately preceding) as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes. As used in this Section 4.06(d), documents or reports that the Company is required to “file” with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act does not include documents or reports that the Company furnishes to the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

49



result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes) from and after the 380th calendar day after the Original Issue Date, or if the Delayed Draw Purchase occurs, six months after the Additional Notes Issue Date, the Company shall pay Additional Interest on such Notes at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding for each day during the first 90 calendar days, and 0.50% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding thereafter, in each case, until the restrictive legend on the Notes has been removed in accordance with Section 2.05(c), the Notes are assigned an unrestricted CUSIP number and the Notes are freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates (or Holders that have been the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three months immediately preceding) (as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes).
(f)    Additional Interest will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual on the Notes in the same manner as the cash portion of Stated Interest.
(g)    [Reserved].
(h)    If Additional Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to Section 4.06(d) or Section 4.06(e), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such Additional Interest is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such Additional Interest is payable and the Trustee shall not have any duty to verify the Company’s calculation of Additional Interest. If the Company has paid Additional Interest directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.
Section 4.07    Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or any interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 4.08    Compliance Certificate; Statements as to Defaults. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2024) an Officer’s Certificate stating whether the signers thereof know of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during the previous year and, if so, specifying each such Default or Event of Default and the nature thereof.
Section 4.09    Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Indenture and the other Indenture Documents.
Section 4.10    Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness.
(a)    The Company shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, enter into a guarantee of or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness, and the
50



Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to issue any preferred stock or preferred interests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the foregoing covenant will not prohibit the Company or its Subsidiaries from incurring Permitted Indebtedness. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.10, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness, the Company will be permitted to classify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness (based on circumstances existing on the date of reclassification), in any manner that complies with this covenant.
(b)    The accrual of interest, the accrual of dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the amortization of debt discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, the reclassification of operating leases as Capital Leases due to a change in accounting principles and the payment of dividends on Redeemable Equity or preferred stock or preferred interests in the form of additional shares of the same class of Redeemable Equity will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred (or, in the case of revolving Indebtedness, on the date such Indebtedness was first committed); provided, that if any such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.
(c)    The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:
(i)    [reserved];
(ii)    the amount of Redeemable Equity or preferred stock or preferred interests deemed to be outstanding at any time for purposes of this Indenture will be the maximum amount that the Company or its Subsidiaries may become obligated to pay upon the maturity of, or pursuant to any mandatory redemption provisions of, such Redeemable Equity or preferred stock or preferred interests, exclusive of accrued dividends;
(iii)    the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and
(iv)    in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:
(A)    the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and
(B)    the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.
51



Section 4.11    Limitation on Liens. The Company shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to create, assume or suffer to exist any Lien to secure Indebtedness or otherwise on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries except for Permitted Liens.
Section 4.12    Limitation on Restricted Payments.
(a)    The Company shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:
(i)    declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on or in respect of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiary’s Capital Stock (excluding payments in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares in connection with a reverse share split or any such payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the acquisition by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any Person), except dividends or distributions (x) payable solely in Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Equity, except to the extent permitted under Section 4.10) or the proceeds thereof of the Company or any such Subsidiary or (y) payable solely to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or, if such Subsidiary is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, to its other Capital Stock holders on a pro rata basis with respect to the class of Capital Stock on which such dividend or distribution is made, or on a basis that results in the receipt by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of dividends or distributions of greater value than it would receive on a pro rata basis);
(ii)    purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company) any of the Company’s Capital Stock;
(iii)    make any principal payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Junior Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, except a payment of principal at the stated maturity thereof (or as otherwise expressly permitted hereby and by the applicable intercreditor or subordination agreement); or
(iv)    make any Investment other than a Permitted Investment (a Restricted Investment)
(all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (i) through (iv) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”).
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein, this covenant will not prohibit:
(i)    Restricted Payments from any Subsidiary to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor;
(ii)    any repurchase, exchange or other retirement of the Existing Notes (including the making of cash payments in connection therewith or exchanging the Existing Notes for Permitted Indebtedness of the type described in clause (b) of the definition thereof) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement, subject to compliance with Section 4.24 (on a pro forma basis for such cash payment);
52



(iii)    if applicable, payments in amounts sufficient to make, any “AHYDO catch-up payment” with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries permitted to be incurred under this Indenture; and
(iv)    the payment of cash in satisfaction of the Company's obligations under the warrants issued on the Original Issue Date to the Designated Holder as the same may be transferred from time to time, to the extent such payment would otherwise constitute a Restricted Payment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Indenture Document, (I) no Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor may own or hold an exclusive license to any intellectual property that is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and (II) the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall not sell, dispose of or otherwise transfer to any Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor any assets (including intellectual property) that are material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
Section 4.13    Limitation on Asset Sales.
(a)    The Company shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
(i)    the Company (or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be) receive consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Capital Stock issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and
(ii)    85% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or its Subsidiaries is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.
(b)    Asset Sale Offer.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, at any time when the Company and its Subsidiaries receive Net Proceeds in connection with an Asset Sale (other than the Asset Sales identified in the Exchange Agreement and other non-ordinary course Asset Sales for which the Company and its Subsidiaries receive Net Proceeds in an aggregate amount not in excess of $1,000,000 during the term of this Indenture) (such event, an “Asset Sale Trigger”), the Company will make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders to repurchase Notes for an amount of cash equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Net Proceeds previously applied to the repurchase of any Notes pursuant to any preceding Asset Sale Offer) (the “Asset Sale Offer Consideration Amount”), on the date (the “Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 days or more than 35 days following the date of such Asset Sale Trigger, at a repurchase price per Note equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest at the full amount of Stated Interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) thereon to, but excluding, the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date (the “Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price”), provided, however, that, if the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date falls after a Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Record Date relates, then (i) the Company shall instead pay, on such Interest Payment Date, to the Holder of record of such Note as of the close of business on such Record Date the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest (including both the cash interest and PIK
53



Interest portions thereof) that would have accrued on such Notes to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date (assuming, solely for these purposes, that such Notes remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date); and (ii) the Holder of such Note on the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date will be entitled to receive on such Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date an amount in cash equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Note to be repurchased pursuant to this Section 4.13(b) plus the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Premium. The Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date shall be subject to postponement in order to allow the Company to comply with applicable law.
(ii)    To the extent that the aggregate Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price of Notes tendered and accepted pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Net Proceeds (such shortfall constituting a “Net Proceeds Deficiency”), the Company may use the Net Proceeds Deficiency, or a portion thereof, for general corporate purposes, but only after tendering any declined amounts to the remaining Holders.
(iii)    Repurchases of Notes under this Section 4.13(b) shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:
(A)    delivery to the Paying Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice”) in the form of the Form of Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice, if the Notes are Physical Notes, or in compliance with the Applicable Procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date; and
(B)    delivery of the Notes, if the Notes are Physical Notes, to the Paying Agent at any time after delivery of the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the office of the Paying Agent, or book- entry transfer of the Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in each case such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price therefor;
provided, that, with respect to any Asset Sale Offer, if Holders opt to tender (for repurchase pursuant to this Section 4.13(b)) Notes, the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price of which would in the aggregate exceed the Asset Sale Offer Consideration Amount, then the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be repurchased shall be limited to an aggregate principal amount of Notes for which the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price does not exceed the Asset Sale Offer Consideration Amount. If fewer than all tendered Notes are to be repurchased pursuant to the preceding sentence and (x) the Notes to be repurchased are Global Notes, the Notes to be repurchased shall be selected by the Company on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, or (y) the Notes to be repurchased are not Global Notes, the Company shall select the Notes or portions thereof of a Global Note or the Notes in certificated form to be repurchased in Authorized Denominations on a pro rata basis (subject to adjustment to maintain the Authorized Denominations of the Notes). If any Note selected for partial repurchase is submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the portion of the Note submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion selected for repurchase.
The Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice in respect of any Notes to be repurchased shall state:
54



(A)    in the case of Physical Notes, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase;
(B)    the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be in Authorized Denominations; and
(C)    that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture;
provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice must comply with the Applicable Procedures.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 4.13(b) shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 4.13(b)(vii).
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.
(iv)    On or before the 20th day after the occurrence of the effective date of an Asset Sale Trigger, the Company shall provide to all Holders of Notes, the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and the Paying Agent (in the case of a paying agent other than the Trustee) a written notice (the “Asset Sale Offer Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the effective date of the Asset Sale Trigger and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. In the case of Physical Notes, such notice shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Global Notes, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary. Each Asset Sale Offer Company Notice shall specify:
(A)    a brief description of the Asset Sale Trigger;
(B)    the effective date of the Asset Sale Trigger;
(C)    the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this Section 4.13(b);
(D)    the Asset Sale Offer Consideration Amount;
(E)    the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price;
(F)    the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date;
(G)    the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent, if applicable;
(H)    the Conversion Rate;
55



(I)    that the Notes with respect to which an Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder withdraws the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice and validly delivers a Notice of Conversion, each in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;
(J)    the “Conversion Amount” on the Scheduled Trading Day prior to the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date applicable to each $1,000 principal amount of a Note; and the procedures a converting Holder must follow to convert its Notes;
(K)    the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the principal and accrued and unpaid interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Premium on the Notes; and
(L)    the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Notes.

(n)    so long as the Designated Holders are the beneficial owners of at least $20,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, failure by the Company for 30 days after written notice from Lynrock has been received by the Company to comply with any covenant, agreement or requirement under the Exchange Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, breach or default in the observance or performance of any covenant, agreement or requirement set forth on the exhibits, annexes and schedules thereto (for the avoidance of doubt, so long as the Designated Holders are the beneficial owners of at least $20,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, if the Company fails to comply with any covenant, agreement or requirement under the Exchange Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, breach or default in the observance or performance of any covenant, agreement or requirement set forth on the exhibits, annexes and schedules thereto, an Event of Default will result after 30 days following receipt of such written notice by the Company from Lynrock regarding same).
Each of the events set forth in Section 6.01 will constitute an Event of Default regardless of the cause thereof or whether voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.
Section 6.02    Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment. If one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or Section 6.01(j)), unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04 (or, in the case of Section 6.01(n), so long as the Designated Holders are the beneficial owners of at least $20,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, Lynrock, individually), by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders) may declare 100% of the aggregate principal of, and any accrued and unpaid interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and the applicable Acceleration Premium on, all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable, anything contained in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or Section 6.01(j) occurs and is continuing, 100% of the aggregate principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and the applicable Acceleration Premium on, all Notes shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, so long as the Designated Holders are the beneficial owners of at least $20,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, Lynrock, acting individually, may accelerate the Notes as provided above after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(n).
The immediately preceding paragraph, however, except in the case of Events of Default specified in Section 6.01(n), is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay any overdue installments of any accrued and unpaid interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) upon all Notes and the principal of and any applicable Notes Premium on any and all Notes that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of any accrued and unpaid interest and on such principal and any applicable Note Premium, all at the rate borne by the Notes at such time) and amounts due to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 7.06, and if (1) rescission would not
67



conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any and all existing Events of Default under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of the principal of and any applicable Notes Premium on and any accrued and unpaid interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) on Notes that shall have become due solely by such acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.09 and amounts due to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 7.06 have been paid, then and in every such case (except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence) the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the Notes and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any Default or Event of Default resulting from (i) the nonpayment of the principal (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or any accrued and unpaid interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and any applicable Notes Premium on, any Notes, (ii) a failure to repurchase any Notes when required or (iii) a failure to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, so long as the Designated Holders are the beneficial owners of at least $20,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, only Lynrock will have the ability to waive, rescind and annul any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(n) and any acceleration of the Notes as a result thereof.
It is understood and agreed that if the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to the Stated Maturity (including as a result of the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default and any acceleration as a result thereof (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law), upon an Optional Redemption, on an Existing Notes Test Maturity Date or upon an Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, or the Notes are converted in the circumstances specified in Section 14.03), the applicable Notes Premium will also automatically be due and payable and shall constitute part of the Notes Obligations with respect to the Notes. In view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of the applicable Holder’s lost profits as a result thereof, any such applicable Notes Premium payable shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by the applicable Holder as the result of such early prepayment or such conversion and the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING AMOUNTS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION OR REPAYMENT OR REDEMPTION OR REPURCHASE OR CONVERSION, ANY RESCISSION OF SUCH ACCELERATION OR THE COMMENCEMENT OF ANY PROCEEDING UNDER DEBTOR RELIEF LAWS. Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the applicable Notes Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the applicable Notes Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the applicable Holder and the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay such applicable Notes Premium; and (D) each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each of the Company
68



and the Subsidiary Guarantors expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay such applicable Notes Premium to the Holders as herein described is a material inducement to the Holders to acquire the Notes.
Section 6.03    [Reserved].
Section 6.04    Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and any applicable Notes Premium thereon and, to the extent the payment thereof shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and on any applicable Notes Premium and on any overdue interest at the rate of the full amount of Stated Interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) borne by Notes at such time and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent under Section 7.06. If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, or the Collateral Agent, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.
In the event there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes under Bankruptcy Law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.04, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and any applicable Notes Premium in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such other actions as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to the Trustee, as administrative expenses, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including agents and counsel fees, and including any other amounts due to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent under Section 7.06, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions,
69



dividends, monies, securities and other property that the Holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting such Holder or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.
In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Notes parties to any such proceedings.
In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of any waiver pursuant to Section 6.09 or any rescission and annulment pursuant to Section 6.02 or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Holders and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 6.05    Application of Monies Collected by Trustee. Any monies or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6 with respect to the Notes shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies or property, upon (in the case of Physical Notes) presentation of the several Physical Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and the surrender thereof, if fully paid:
First, to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (in each of its capacities under this Indenture) hereunder;
Second, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of any interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and any applicable Notes Premium on, and any cash due upon conversion of, the Notes in default in the order of the date due of the payments of such interest and any applicable Notes Premium and cash due upon conversion, as the case may be, with interest (to the extent that any such interest is payable pursuant to this Indenture and has been collected by the Trustee) upon such overdue payments at the rate of the full amount of Stated Interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) borne by the Notes at such time, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto;
Third, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount (including, if applicable, the Redemption
70



Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and any applicable Notes Premium (to the extent not duplicative of the foregoing) with interest on the overdue principal, and overdue installments of interest at the rate of the full amount of Stated Interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) borne by the Notes at such time and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal (including, if applicable, the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) and interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and any applicable Notes Premium (to the extent not duplicative of the foregoing) without preference or priority of any kind, including any preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest over principal or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Note over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal (including, if applicable, the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) and any accrued and unpaid interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and any applicable Notes Premium (to the extent not duplicative of the foregoing); and
Fourth, to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.
Section 6.06    Proceedings by Holders. Without limiting in any way Lynrock’s ability, acting individually (so long as the Designated Holders are the beneficial owners of at least $20,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes), to accelerate the Notes as provided above after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(n), except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal (including, if applicable, the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price) or any interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and any applicable Notes Premium when due, or the right to receive payment or delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, no Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(a)    such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided;
(b)    Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (or, in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(n), so long as the Designated Holders are the beneficial owners of at least $20,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, Lynrock, acting individually, as the case may be) shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder;
(c)    such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee such indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred therein or thereby;
(d)    the Trustee for 35 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of such indemnity or security, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; and
71



(e)    no direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee by the Required Holders (or, in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(n), so long as the Designated Holders are the beneficial owners of at least $20,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, Lynrock, acting individually, as the case may be) within such 20-day period pursuant to Section 6.09, it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Note with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders (except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 6.06, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Note, the right of any Holder to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, (y) accrued and unpaid interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and any applicable Notes Premium on and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of, such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note or in this Indenture, and the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery, as the case may be, on or after such respective dates against the Company shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
Section 6.07    Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.
Section 6.08    Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. Except as provided in the last paragraph of Section 2.06, all powers and remedies given by this Article 6 to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or any acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.06, every power and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.
Section 6.09    Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Required Holders. Subject to the Trustee’s and the Collateral Agent’s right to receive security or indemnity from the relevant Holders as described herein, the Required Holders or, in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(n), so long as the Designated Holders are the beneficial owners of at least $20,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, Lynrock, acting individually, as the case may be, shall have the right to direct
72



the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Collateral Agent with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and (b) the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, that is not inconsistent with such direction. Without limiting in any way Lynrock’s ability, acting individually, to accelerate the Notes as provided above after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(n) (so long as the Designated Holders are the beneficial owners of at least $20,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes), each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may refuse to follow any direction that it determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in personal liability or that conflicts with applicable law or this Indenture. The Required Holders may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of accrued and unpaid interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and any applicable Notes Premium on, or the principal (including any Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and any Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price) of, the Notes when due that has not been cured pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, (ii) a failure by the Company to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes or (iii) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 10 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected; provided, that, so long as the Designated Holders are the beneficial owners of at least $20,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, only Lynrock will have the ability to waive, rescind and annul any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(n) and any acceleration of the Notes as a result thereof. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.09, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 6.10    Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within 45 days after it receives written notice of the occurrence and continuance of a Default of which the Trustee has actual knowledge, deliver to all Holders notice of all such Defaults, unless such Defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided, that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price, if applicable), or any accrued and unpaid interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) on and any applicable Notes Premium (to the extent not duplicative of the foregoing) on, any of the Notes or a Default in the payment or delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.
Section 6.11    Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided,
73



that the provisions of this Section 6.11 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or accrued and unpaid interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and any applicable Notes Premium on any Note (including, but not limited to, the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price with respect to the Notes being redeemed or repurchased as provided in this Indenture) on or after the due date expressed or provided for in such Note or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Note, or receive the consideration due upon conversion, in accordance with the provisions of Article 14.
ARTICLE 7
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 7.01    Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which the Trustee has written notice or actual knowledge and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default that may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In the event an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers conferred on it by this Indenture as directed by the Required Holders (or, so long as the Designated Holders are the beneficial owners of at least $20,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(n), Lynrock, acting individually, as the case may be); provided, that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered (and, if requested, provided) to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.
No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Collateral Agent from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(a)    prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has written notice or actual knowledge and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default that may have occurred:
(i)    the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
(ii)    in the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein);
74



(b)    the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.08, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.08, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article 7.

successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.
(b)    In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

Section 7.10    Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.09 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by such trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.
79



No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.10 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.08.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 7.10, each of the Company and the successor trustee, at the written direction and at the expense of the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders.

In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided, that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company (other than with regard to any action proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee that affects the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture) may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective.

Section 7.13    Limitation on Duty of Trustee in Respect of Collateral. The Trustee and Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity

Whenever the Company, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent solicits the taking of any action by the Holders of the Notes, the Company, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be required to, fix in advance of such solicitation, a date as the record date for determining Holders entitled to take such action.

Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to so act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or a Subsidiary thereof. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision or indecision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof.

Any supplemental indenture or amendment to any Security Document authorized by the provisions of this Section 10.01 may be executed by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and, as applicable, the Collateral Agent, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Notes at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 10.02.
Section 10.02    Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article 8) of the Required Holders (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a repurchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, the Notes), the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, if applicable, at the Company’s expense, may from time to time and at any time amend or supplement the Indenture Documents or enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto, or to enter into any amendment to any Security Document or Intercreditor Agreement, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other Indenture Document or any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected, no such supplemental indenture or other such amendment or supplement shall:

(b)    reduce the rate of or extend the stated time for, or change the manner of, payment of interest on any Note;

For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of the proviso to the first paragraph of this Section 10.02, no amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes or any of the other Indenture Documents, or waiver of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or any of the other Indenture Documents, may change the amount or type of consideration due on any Note (whether on an Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date or the Maturity Date or upon acceleration, conversion or otherwise), or the date(s) or time(s) such consideration is payable or deliverable, as applicable, without the consent of each affected Holder.
Upon the written request of the Company, and upon the delivery to the Trustee and, if applicable, the Collateral Agent, of evidence of the consent of the requisite Holders as aforesaid and subject to Section 10.05, the Trustee and, if applicable, the Collateral Agent, shall join with the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, in the execution of such supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to the other Indenture Documents except that the Trustee and Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to, but may in their respective discretion, enter into any supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to the Indenture Documents that affects the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
Holders do not need under this Section 10.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to any Indenture Document. It shall be sufficient if such Holders approve the substance thereof. After any such supplemental indenture or amendment becomes effective, the Company shall deliver to the Holders (with a copy to the Trustee) a notice briefly describing such supplemental indenture or amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of the supplemental indenture or amendment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Designated Holders are the beneficial owners of at least $20,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, no amendment, supplement, waiver or modification may be made to this Indenture or any other Indenture Document that would have the effect of removing or impairing (i) the Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(n), (ii) the right of Lynrock, acting individually, to accelerate the Notes as provided in Article 6 after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(n) or (iii) the right of Lynrock, in its sole discretion, to waive, rescind and annul any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(n) and any acceleration of the Notes as a result thereof.

87



supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.
Section 10.04    Notation on Notes. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 10 may, at the Company’s request and expense, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any modification of this Indenture or any other Indenture Document contained in any such supplemental indenture may, at the Company’s expense, be prepared and executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent duly appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 17.09) and delivered in exchange for the Notes then outstanding, upon surrender of such Notes then outstanding.
Section 10.05    Evidence of Compliance of Supplemental Indenture to Be Furnished to Trustee and Collateral Agent. In addition to the documents required by Section 17.05, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, if applicable, shall receive, and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall join in any supplemental indenture or amendment to any Security Document specified in Section 10.01 or Section 10.02 only upon receiving, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any supplemental indenture or amendment to any Security Document executed pursuant hereto complies with the requirements of this Article 10 and is permitted or authorized by this Indenture and the Security Documents and all the conditions precedent thereunder with respect thereto have been satisfied, and that the supplemental indenture or amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms and that such amendments, supplements or other instruments have been duly executed, filed and recorded in such jurisdictions as may be required by applicable law (subject to the limitations set forth in this Indenture and the other Indenture Documents) to preserve and protect the Lien on the Collateral owned by or transferred to the surviving Person, together with such financing statements or comparable documents as may be required to perfect any security interests in such Collateral which may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement or a similar document under the UCC or other similar statute or regulation of the relevant states or jurisdictions.

ARTICLE 13
SECURITY
Section 13.01    Security Interest; Collateral Agent. The due and punctual payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and any applicable Notes Premium (to the extent not duplicative of the foregoing) on, and Conversion Obligation with respect to, the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an Interest Payment Date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption, prepayment, demand or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal (including the Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and any applicable Notes Premium (to the extent not duplicative of the foregoing) on, the Notes and performance of all other obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors to the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees, according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, are secured as provided in the Security Documents.
(a)    Each Holder of Notes, by its acceptance thereof, and the Trustee hereby appoints U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Collateral Agent, and consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for foreclosure and release of Collateral and authorizing the Collateral Agent to enter into any Security Document on its behalf) and the Intercreditor Agreement, in each case, as the same may be in effect or may be amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their terms and this Indenture, and authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all rights, privileges, immunities and protections of the Trustee set forth in this Indenture, including but not limited to the right to be compensated, reimbursed and indemnified under Section 7.06, in the acceptance, execution, delivery and performance of its role as Collateral Agent
92



hereunder and under the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents as though fully set forth therein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture and the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or the Company, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
(b)    The Company consents and agrees to be bound, and, subject to Section 13.05, to cause the Subsidiary Guarantors to consent and agree to be bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, as the same may be in effect from time to time, and agrees to perform its, and to cause the Subsidiary Guarantors to perform their, obligations thereunder in accordance therewith. The Company will deliver to the Trustee copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents, and the Company will, and, subject to Section 13.05, the Company will cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to, do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be required by the provisions of the Security Documents to assure and confirm to the Trustee that the Collateral Agent holds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders duly created, enforceable and perfected Liens as contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted.
(c)     Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction) or under or in connection with the Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, or any officer or Affiliate thereof, contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, any Security Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents, or for any failure of any other party to this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents or to inspect the properties, books, or records of the Company or any of its Affiliates.
(d)    No provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders or the Trustee if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds is not assured to it. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security
93



Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances unless the Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the Holders in an amount and in a form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting the Collateral Agent from all such liability. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Company or the Holders to be sufficient.
(e)    Subject to Section 13.05 hereof, in each case that the Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder, under the Intercreditor Agreement or under any Security Document, the Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Trustee or the Required Holders or Lynrock, as applicable. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Required Holders or Lynrock, as applicable. Subject to Section 17.05 hereof, if the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Required Holders or Lynrock, as applicable, with respect to any Action, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have received direction from the Required Holders or Lynrock, as applicable, and neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.
(f)    The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee, a Holder or the Company referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article 6 or the Required Holders or Lynrock, as applicable.
(g)    Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in good faith.
(h)    Each successor Trustee may become the successor Collateral Agent as and when the successor Trustee becomes the Trustee.
Section 13.02    Recording and Opinion. The Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (if other than the Trustee), on or within one month of December 15 of each year,
94

Section 13.07    Collateral Agent.
(a)    Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture and the Security Documents, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Security Documents, to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or any grantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture and the Security Documents, or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
(b)    The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture or the Security Documents by or through receivers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or with respect to any specified Person, such Person’s Affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and attorneys-in-fact of such Person and its Affiliates (a “Related Person”), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by legal counsel (absent gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in an non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any receiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith and with due care.
97



(c)    The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company or any other grantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Collateral Agent (absent gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in an non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture or the Security Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Trustee or the Required Holders or Lynrock, as applicable, and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture or the Security Documents in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Required Holders or Lynrock, as applicable, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.
(d)    The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee, a Holder or the Company referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article 6 or the Required Holders or Lynrock, as the case may be (subject to this Section 13.07 and the Intercreditor Agreement).
(e)    The Collateral Agent may (i) resign at any time by 30 days’ written notice to the Trustee and the Company or (ii) be removed at any time by 30 days’ written notice to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Company from the Required Holders, such resignation or removal to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Collateral Agent. If the Collateral Agent resigns or is removed under this Indenture, the Required Holders, in consultation with the Company, shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation or removal), the Trustee, at the direction of the Required Holders, may appoint a successor collateral agent in consultation with the Company. If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation or removal, as applicable) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 13.07 (and Section 7.06 and 7.13 hereof) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation or removal be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Indenture.

(k)    No provision of this Indenture or any Security Document shall require the Collateral Agent (or the Trustee) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action
99

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture or the Security Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause (k) if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Company or the Holders to be sufficient.
(l)    The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents or instruments referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Company (and money held in trust by the Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel (absent gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in this Indenture, the Security Documents or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture or any Security Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Security Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Notes Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Notes Obligations under this Indenture and the Security Documents.

100



(o)    The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture, the Security Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture and the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral.
(p)    Subject to Section 10.02, upon the receipt by the Collateral Agent of a written request of the Company signed by an Officer (a “Security Document Order”), the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Security Document or amendment or supplement thereto to be executed after the date of this Indenture; provided, that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute or enter into any such Security Document which, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable opinion is reasonably likely to adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Collateral Agent or that the Collateral Agent determines is reasonably likely to involve the Collateral Agent in personal liability. Such Security Document Order shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Security Document Order referred to in, this Section 13.07(p), and (ii) instruct the Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Security Document. Other than as set forth in this Indenture, any such execution of a Security Document shall be at the direction and expense of the Company, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the Security Document have been satisfied.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall have no discretion under this Indenture or the Security Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Required Holders, Lynrock or the Trustee, as applicable. Each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, authorizes and directs the Trustee to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof.
(r)    [Reserved].
(s)    The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement and to the extent not prohibited under any Intercreditor Agreement for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.05 and the other provisions of this Indenture.
101



(t)    In each case that the Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any Security Document or under any Intercreditor Agreement to take any Action, including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any Security Document, the Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Required Holders or Lynrock, as the case may be.

(w)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Agent shall act pursuant to the instructions of the Holders and the Trustee with respect to the Security Documents and the Collateral, except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.
(x)    Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall have any duties or obligations hereunder or under the Intercreditor Agreement or any other Security Document except those expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Collateral Agent or the Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Agent’s or the Trustee’s sole discretion may cause it to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause it to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee each reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as set forth herein or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver.

(y)    The rights, privileges, benefits, immunities, indemnities and other protections given to the Trustee under this Indenture are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Collateral Agent as if the Collateral Agent were named as the Trustee herein and the Security Documents were named as this Indenture herein. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to compensation, reimbursement and indemnity as set forth in Section 7.06, as if references therein to Trustee were references to Collateral Agent.
ARTICLE 14
CONVERSION OF NOTES
Section 14.01    Conversion Privilege.
(a)    Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 14, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is an Authorized Denomination) of such Note (i) subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in Section 14.01(b), at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding February 15, 2029 under the circumstances and during the periods set forth in Section 14.01(b), and (ii) regardless of the conditions described in Section 14.01(b), on or after February 15, 2029 and prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity, in each case, at an initial conversion rate of 13.2933 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 14, the “Conversion Rate”) per $1,000 Conversion Amount of Notes, together with any applicable Make-Whole Payment in accordance with Section 14.03 (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of Section 14.02, the “Conversion Obligation”).
(b)    
(i)    Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding February 15, 2029, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at any time during the five Business Day period immediately after any five consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a Holder of Notes in accordance with this Section 14.01(b)(i), for each Trading Day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the product of (x) the quotient of (i) the Conversion Amount in respect of $1,000 principal amount of Notes on such Trading Day divided by (ii) 1,000 times (y) the Conversion Rate on each such Trading Day. The Trading Prices shall be determined by the Bid Solicitation Agent pursuant to this Section 14.01(b)(i) and the definition of Trading Price set forth in this Indenture. The Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes unless the Company has requested such determination in writing and has provided the Bid Solicitation Agent with the names and contact information of the securities dealers the Company has selected for such purpose, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request (or, if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes) unless a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes on a specified Trading Day would be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price
103



of the Common Stock and the product of (x) the quotient of (i) the Conversion Amount in respect of $1,000 principal amount of Notes on such Trading Day divided by (ii) 1,000 times (y) the Conversion Rate, at which time the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent in writing (if other than the Company) to determine, or if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company shall determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the product of (x) the quotient of (i) the Conversion Amount in respect of $1,000 principal amount of Notes on such Trading Day divided by (ii) 1,000 times (y) the Conversion Rate. At such time as the Company directs the Bid Solicitation Agent in writing to solicit bid quotations, the Company shall provide the Bid Solicitation Agent with the names and contact details of the three independent nationally recognized securities dealers selected by the Company, and the Company shall direct those security dealers to provide bids to the Bid Solicitation Agent. Any such determination will be conclusive absent manifest error. If (x) the Company is not acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, and the Company does not, when the Company is required to, instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to obtain bids, or if the Company so instructs the Bid Solicitation Agent to obtain bids and the Bid Solicitation Agent fails to make such determination, or (y) the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent and the Company fails to make such determination, then, in either case, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the product of (x) the quotient of (i) the Conversion Amount in respect of $1,000 principal amount of Notes on such Trading Day divided by (ii) 1,000 times (y) the Conversion Rate on each Trading Day of such failure. If the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the Company shall so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing. If, at any time after the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the Bid Solicitation Agent, or if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company, determines that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock the product of (x) the quotient of (i) the Conversion Amount in respect of $1,000 principal amount of Notes on such Trading Days divided by (ii) $1,000 times (y) and the Conversion Rate for such date, the Company shall so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing and thereafter neither the Company nor the Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) shall be required to solicit bids again until a new holder request is made as provided above.
(ii)    If, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding February 15, 2029, the Company elects to:
(x)    distribute to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options, or warrants (other than in connection with a stockholder rights plan prior to separation of the relevant rights from the Common Stock) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution; or
(y)    distribute to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock the Company’s assets, securities or rights to purchase securities of the Company (other than in
104



connection with a stockholder rights plan prior to separation of the relevant rights from the Common Stock as to which Section 14.11 will apply), which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined by the Company, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day preceding the date of announcement for such distribution, then, in case of either clause (x) or clause (y), the Company shall notify the Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing at least 55 scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution (or, if later in the case of any such separation of rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company becomes aware that such separation or triggering event has occurred or will occur). Once the Company has given such notice, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of (1) the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution and (2) the Company’s announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time.
If shares of the Company’s common stock are listed on The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, and the Company elects to distribute bonus shares, offer by way of rights issue, distribute dividends, consolidate share capital, consolidate shares, reduce or split our share capital, or effectuate a forward or reverse stock split (any of the foregoing, a “Stock Adjustment Event”), then, in any of these cases, the Company must notify the holders of the notes (with a copy to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee)) in writing at least 30 scheduled Trading Days prior to the ex-dividend date for such Stock Adjustment Event. None of the notes may be converted on the record date for such Stock Adjustment Event. In addition, if the ex-dividend date with respect to a Stock Adjustment Event occurs before the record date relating to such Stock Adjustment Event, then no conversion of the notes or a part thereof shall take place on such ex-dividend date. In the event a holder of the notes attempts to convert its notes on the record date for a Stock Adjustment Event, then the date for such conversion shall be postponed to the next Business Day. In the event the ex-dividend date occurs before the record date relating to such Stock Adjustment Event, then such ex-dividend date shall be postponed to the next Business Day.
(iii)    If (i) a transaction or event that constitutes (x) a Fundamental Change or (y) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding February 15, 2029, or (ii) if the Company is a party to a Share Exchange Event that occurs prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding February 15, 2029 (other than a merger effected in accordance with Section 11.01 solely to change the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation that does not otherwise constitute a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change) (each such Fundamental Change, Make-Whole Fundamental Change or Share Exchange Event, a “Corporate Event”), then, in each case, all or any portion of a Holder’s Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time from or after the earlier of (i) the date the Company gives notice of such Corporate Event, and (ii) the effective date of such Corporate Event until the date 35 Trading Days after the effective date of such Corporate Event (or if the Company gives notice after the effective date of such Corporate Event, until the date 35 Trading Days after the date the Company gives notice) or, if such Corporate Event also constitutes a Fundamental Change, until the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing as promptly as practicable following the date the Company publicly announces such Corporate Event, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the actual effective date of such Corporate Event.
105



(iv)    Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding February 15, 2029, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at any time during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2024 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the Conversion Price on each applicable Trading Day as determined by the Company.
(v)    If the Company calls any Notes for redemption pursuant to Article 16 prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding February 15, 2029, then Holders may surrender for conversion the Notes called for redemption at any time prior to the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day prior to the Redemption Date, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time. After that time, the right to convert such Notes pursuant to this Section 14.01(b)(v) on account of the Company’s delivery of the relevant Redemption Notice shall expire, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, in which case Holders may convert the Notes called for redemption until the Redemption Price has been paid or duly provided for. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company calls fewer than all of the outstanding Notes for redemption pursuant to Article 16 and a Holder (including, for this purpose, the owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note) is not able to reasonably determine in good faith, prior to the close of business on the 53rd Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the relevant Redemption Date, whether the Notes owned by such Holder (or beneficially owned by such owner of a beneficial interest, as applicable) are subject to such partial redemption and, as a result thereof, convertible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.01(b)(v), then such Holder (or such owner of a beneficial interest, as applicable) shall be entitled to convert such Notes after the date of the Redemption Notice until the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, regardless of whether such Notes (or such beneficial interests, as applicable) are subject to such partial redemption, and any such conversion shall be deemed to be of a Note called for redemption (including, without limitation, for purposes of Section 14.03). The Trustee shall have no obligation to make any determination in connection with this Section 14.01(b)(v).
(vi)    If the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Existing Notes exceeds $60,000,000 on the date 30 days before Existing Notes Test Date, (A) on such date the Company shall notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing thereof and (B) all or any portion of a Holder’s Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time during the period beginning on the next succeeding Trading Day and ending on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Existing Notes Test Date.
(c)    Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall have any obligation to make any calculation or to determine whether the Notes may be surrendered for conversion or to notify the Company, the Depositary or any Holders if the Notes have become convertible.
Section 14.02    Conversion Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion.
(a)    Subject to this Section 14.02, Section 14.03(b) and Section 14.07(a), upon conversion of any Note, the Company shall satisfy its Conversion Obligation by (i) paying to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, cash in an amount based upon the Conversion Amount with respect to the Notes being converted and the applicable
106



Conversion Rate, as set forth in this Section 14.02 and (ii) paying to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, an amount in cash equal to any applicable Make-Whole Payment payable in accordance with Section 14.03.
(i)    [Reserved].
(ii)    [Reserved].
(iii)    [Reserved].
(iv)    The cash in respect of any conversion of Notes shall be computed as follows:
(A)    [Reserved];
(B)    the Company shall pay to the converting Holder cash in an amount equal to the product of (x) the quotient of (i) the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Notes being converted on the Conversion Date divided by (ii) $1,000 times (y) the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 50 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period.
(v)    The Daily Conversion Values shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last day of the Observation Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Conversion Values, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Daily Conversion Values. The Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination.
(b)    Subject to Section 14.02(e), before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert a Note as set forth above, such Holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the Applicable Procedures in effect at that time for converting a beneficial interest in a Global Note and, if required, pay funds equal to the interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date which such Holder is required to remit as set forth in clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 14.02(h) (and, if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes, if any, as set forth in Section 14.02(e)) and (ii) in the case of a Physical Note (1) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to the Conversion Agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (or a facsimile, PDF or other electronic transmission thereof) (a “Notice of Conversion”) at the office of the Conversion Agent and state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted, (2) surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (3) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and (4) if required, pay funds equal to the interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date which such Holder is required to remit as set forth in clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 14.02(h) (and if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes, if any, as set forth in Section 14.02(e)). The Conversion Agent shall notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this Article 14 on the Conversion Date for such conversion. No Notes may be surrendered for conversion by a Holder thereof if such Holder has also delivered an Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice or Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice to the Company in respect of such Notes and has not validly withdrawn such Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 4.13(b)(vii) or such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 15.03, as applicable.
107



If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.
(c)    A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in subsection (b) above. Except as set forth in Section 14.03(b) and Section 14.07(a), the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due in respect of the Conversion Obligation on the second Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period.
(d)    In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Note so surrendered a new Note or Notes in Authorized Denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the converting Holder but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or similar governmental charge required by law or that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such conversion being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such conversion.
(e)    [Reserved].
(f)    [Reserved].
(g)    Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
(h)    If Notes are converted after the close of business on an Interest Record Date and prior to the open of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date, (i) Holders of such Notes as of the close of business on such Interest Record Date will receive the full amount of interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion; (ii) Notes so surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Interest Record Date to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of any interest payable on the Notes so converted; and (iii) notwithstanding the payment of interest on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date pursuant to clause (i) above as a result of the payment requirements set forth in clause (ii) above, for purposes of clause (ii) of the definition of “Conversion Amount,” with respect to such Notes, such interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) shall continue to be deemed unpaid; provided, that no such payment shall be required to the extent of any overdue interest or interest that has accrued on any overdue interest. Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) all Holders of record on the Interest Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date shall receive the full interest payment (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) due on the Maturity Date in cash regardless of whether their Notes have been converted following such Interest Record Date; and (y) if the Conversion Date of a Note to be converted is on an Interest Payment Date, then the Holder of such Note at the close of business on the Interest Record Date immediately before such Interest Payment Date will be entitled to receive, on such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid
108



interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) that has accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date, and such Note, when surrendered for conversion, need not be accompanied by any cash amount pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 14.02(h).
(i)    At the close of business on the Conversion Date for a Note (or any portion thereof) to be converted, such Note (or such portion thereof) will (unless there occurs a Default in the delivery of the interest due or in the performance of the Conversion Obligation, pursuant to Section 14.02(a) or Section 14.02(h) upon such conversion) be deemed to cease to be outstanding (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no Person will be deemed to be a Holder of such Note (or such portion thereof) as of the close of business on such Conversion Date), except to the extent provided in Section 14.02(h).
Section 14.03    Make-Whole Payment Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in Connection with Make-Whole Fundamental Changes or Redemption Notice or Existing Notes Test Date Notice.
(a)    If (x) the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date; (y) the Company gives a Redemption Notice with respect to any or all of the Notes in accordance with Section 16.02; or (z) the Company gives an Existing Notes Test Date Notice pursuant to Section 15.01(c) and, in each case, a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or Redemption Notice or Existing Notes Test Date Notice, as the case may be, the Company shall, under the circumstances described below and in accordance with Section 14.02(c), pay such Holder an amount in cash (the “Make-Whole Payment”) equal to:
(i)    if clause (x) applies, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Premium on the Notes being converted (computed as if such Notes had been repurchased pursuant to Section 15.02 (instead of being converted)) on the Conversion Date;
(ii)    if clause (y) applies, the Redemption Premium on the Notes being converted (computed as if such Notes had been redeemed pursuant to Article 16 (instead of being converted)) on the Conversion Date; or
(iii)    if clause (z) applies, the Existing Notes Test Maturity Premium on the Notes being converted (computed as if such Notes had matured pursuant to Section 15.01 (instead of being converted)) on the Conversion Date.
A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Notice of Conversion is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.
A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” a Redemption Notice if the relevant Notice of Conversion is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the date of the Redemption Notice until the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date; provided, that if the Company gives a Redemption Notice with respect to fewer than all of the Notes outstanding, then the Make-Whole Payment for Notes converted in connection with such Redemption Notice as described in this Section 14.03 shall apply with respect to only the Notes called for redemption that are converted in connection therewith, and not with respect to the Notes not called for redemption, and Holders of Notes not called for redemption will not be entitled to a Make-Whole Payment for such Notes as described in this Section 14.03 on account of the Redemption Notice; provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, Notes (or beneficial interests in a Global Note, as applicable) that are deemed to be called for such partial
109



redemption in the circumstances described in Section 14.01(b)(v) and are converted in connection with the related Redemption Notice shall be entitled to a Make-Whole Payment pursuant to this Section 14.03 on account of such deemed redemption.
A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” an Existing Notes Test Date Notice if the relevant Notice of Conversion is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the date of the Existing Notes Test Date Notice until the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Existing Notes Test Date.
(b)    Upon surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 14.01(b)(iii) or a Redemption Notice pursuant to Section 16.02 or an Existing Notes Test Date Notice pursuant to Section 15.01(c), the Company shall satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by (i) paying an amount in cash in accordance with Section 14.02 based on the Conversion Rate and (ii) paying in cash any applicable Make-Whole Payment; provided, however, that if, the Reference Property in any Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change is composed entirely of cash, for any conversion of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Conversion Obligation (other than any applicable Make-Whole Payment) shall be calculated based solely on the Stock Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash for all the converted Notes equal to the product of (x) the quotient of (i) the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Notes being converted on the Conversion Date divided by (ii) $1,000 times (y) the Conversion Rate, multiplied by such Stock Price. In such event, the Conversion Obligation shall thenceforth in all cases be determined and paid to Holders in cash on the second Business Day following the Conversion Date. The Company shall notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change in writing no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date.
(c)    “Stock Price” means the amount paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of Common Stock in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) or (d)(ii) of the definition of Fundamental Change or, otherwise, determined pursuant to the following two sentences with respect to any other Make-Whole Fundamental Change or a Redemption Notice or an Existing Notes Test Date Notice, as the case may be. If the holders of the Common Stock receive in exchange for their Common Stock only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) or (d)(ii) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change or the date of the Redemption Notice or the date of the Existing Notes Test Date Notice, as the case may be.
(d)    Nothing in this Section 14.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate that would otherwise be required pursuant to Section 14.04 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
Section 14.04    Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs; provided, however, that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes participate (other than in the case of (x) a share split or share combination or (y) a tender or exchange offer), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 14.04, without having to convert their Notes, as if they held a
110



number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by the Conversion Amount at such time (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.
(a)    If the Company exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination (excluding an issuance of Reference Property pursuant to a Share Exchange Event as to which Section 14.07 will apply), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
OS'
CR' = CR0 x ---------
                 OS0

where,

CR0 =     the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;

CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date (before giving effect to any such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination); and

OS’ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

Any adjustment made under this Section 14.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 14.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(b)    If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan prior to separation of the relevant rights as to which Section 14.11 will apply and excluding an issuance of Reference Property pursuant to a Share Exchange Event as to which Section 14.07 will apply) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
111



OS0 x X
CR' = CR0 x -------------
                 OS0 x Y

where,
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
X = the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the distribution of such rights, options or warrants.
Any increase made under this Section 14.04(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are distributed and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. To the extent that shares of the Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the distribution of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution had not occurred.
For purposes of this Section 14.04(b) and Section 14.01(b)(ii)(x), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Company in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.
(c)    If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities of the Company, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding (i) dividends, distributions or issuances as to which an adjustment was effected (or would be required without regard to the proviso in the first sentence of Section 14.04) pursuant to Section 14.04(a) or Section 14.04(b), (ii) rights issued under a stockholder rights plan prior to separation thereof from the
112



Common Stock, as to which Section 14.11 will apply, (iii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was effected (or would be required without regard to the proviso in the first sentence of Section 14.04) pursuant to Section 14.04(d), (iv) distributions of Reference Property in a Share Exchange Event as to which Section 14.07 will apply, (v) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 14.04(c) shall apply (or would apply without regard to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 14.04) and (vi) distributions solely pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock as to which the provisions set forth in Section 14.04(e) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, the “Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
SP0
CR' = CR0 x ----------------
                 SP0 x FMV

where,
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
SP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and
FMV = the fair market value (as determined by the Company in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
Any increase made under the portion of this Section 14.04(c) above shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. In the case of any distribution of rights, options, or warrants, to the extent any such rights, options, or warrants expire unexercised, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase made for the distribution of such rights, options, or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, options, or warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 Conversion Amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to any Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (excluding
113



an issuance of Reference Property pursuant to a Share Exchange Event as to which Section 14.07 will apply) (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
FMV0 + MP0
CR' = CR0 x ------------------
                 MP0

where,
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;
CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;
FMV0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as set forth in Section 1.01 as if references therein to Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and
MP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.
The increase to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur at the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided, that for any Trading Day that falls within the relevant Observation Period for such conversion and within the Valuation Period, references to “10” in the portion of this Section 14.04(c) related to Spin-Offs shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off and such Trading Day in determining the Conversion Rate as of such Trading Day. If any dividend or distribution that constitutes a Spin-Off is declared but not paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or announced.
For purposes of this Section 14.04(c) (and subject in all respects to Section 14.11), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 14.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 14.04(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed
114



distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.
For purposes of Section 14.04(a), Section 14.04(b) and this Section 14.04(c), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) is applicable (other than a Spin-Off) also includes one or both of:
(i)    a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 14.04(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or
(ii)    a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 14.04(b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),
then, in either case, (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 14.04(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution first then be made, and (2) the Ex-Dividend Date for the Clause B Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to immediately follow the Ex-Dividend Date for the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 14.06(b) with respect to the Clause B Distribution shall then be made immediately after the adjustment pursuant to clause (1), except that, if determined by the Company, any shares of Common Stock that become outstanding as a result of the Clause A Distribution or the Clause B Distribution shall not be deemed to be “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 14.06(b), and (3) the Ex-Dividend Date for the Clause A Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to immediately follow the Ex-Dividend Date for the Clause C Distribution or the Clause B Distribution, as the case may be, and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 14.06(a) with respect to the Clause A Distribution shall then be made immediately after the adjustments pursuant to clauses (1) and (2), except that, if determined by the Company, any shares of Common Stock that become outstanding as a result of the Clause A Distribution shall not be deemed to be “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 14.06(a).
(d)    If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (excluding an issuance of Reference Property pursuant to a Share Exchange Event as to which Section 14.07 will apply), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
SP0
CR' = CR0 x ------------
                 SP0 x C
115




where,
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
SP0 = the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and
C = the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock.
Any increase pursuant to this Section 14.04(d) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 Conversion Amount of Notes it holds, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.
(e)    If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock that is subject to the then-applicable tender offer rules under the Exchange Act (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer that satisfies the requirements of Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act, or any successor to such rule), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
AC + (SP' x OS')
CR' = CR0 x -------------------------
                 OS0 x SP'

where,
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
116



AC = the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Company in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);
OS’ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and
SP’ = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.
The increase to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(e) shall occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided, that for any Trading Day that falls within the relevant Observation Period for such conversion and within the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references to “10” or “10th” in this Section 14.04(e) shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding such expiration date of such tender or exchange offer and such Trading Day in determining the Conversion Rate as of such Trading Day.
If the Company is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer described in this Section 14.04(e) but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the applicable Conversion Rate will be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made or had been made only in respect of the purchases that have been effected.
(f)    [Reserved].
(g)    [Reserved].
(h)    Except as stated herein, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of shares of the Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of the Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities.
(i)    In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 14.04, and subject to the applicable listing standards of The Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Company in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. In addition, subject to the applicable listing standards of The Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Company may (but is not required to) increase the applicable Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or rights to acquire shares of Common Stock) or similar events.
117



(j)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 14, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:
(i)    upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock at a price below the Conversion Price or otherwise, other than any issuance described in this Section 14.04.
(ii)    upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;
(iii)    upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries;
(iv)    upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to (x) any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued (other than pursuant a stockholder rights plan as to which Section 14.11 will apply) or (y) the Warrants issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement (the “Warrants”);
(v)    upon the repurchase of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an open-market share repurchase program or other buy-back transaction that is not a tender offer or exchange offer of the nature described in Section 14.04(e);
(vi)    solely for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or
(vii)    for accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes.
(k)    The Company shall not be required to make an adjustment pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 14.04 unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% of the then effective Conversion Rate. However, the Company shall carry forward any adjustment that the Company would otherwise have to make and take that adjustment into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such carried-forward adjustments shall be made with respect to the Notes (i) where the aggregate of all such carried-forward adjustments equals or exceeds 1% of the Conversion Rate and (ii) regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1% of the Conversion Rate, (w) [reserved], (x) on each Trading Day of any Observation Period with respect to any Notes, (y) if a Fundamental Change and/or Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or an Existing Notes Test Date Notice or Redemption Notice is given, or (z) on and after February 15, 2029. All calculations and other determinations under this Article 14 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share.
(l)    Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee (and the Conversion Agent if not the Trustee) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (i) the adjusted Conversion Rate, (ii) the subsection of this Section 14.04 pursuant to which such adjustment has been made, showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based and (iii) the date as of which such adjustment is effective (which certificates shall be conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such adjustment absent manifest error). Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last
118



Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall deliver such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each Holder. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
(m)    For purposes of this Section 14.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
Section 14.05    Adjustments of Prices. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs or the Daily Conversion Values over a span of multiple days (including, without limitation, an Observation Period and the period, if any, for determining the Stock Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or Optional Redemption), the Company shall make appropriate adjustments in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate (or changes to the market price per share of Common Stock resulting from any such event) where the Ex-Dividend Date, Effective Date or expiration date, as the case may be, of the event occurs, at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs or the Daily Conversion Values are to be calculated. The Company will likewise make appropriate adjustments where a Conversion Rate adjustment otherwise required to be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.04(a) through Section 14.04(e) is not made in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.04 that permit or require participation by Holders in a distribution in lieu of such Conversion Rate adjustment. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall have any responsibility for any of the foregoing calculations or determinations.
Section 14.06    [Reserved].
Section 14.07    Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Common Stock.
(a)    In the case of:
(i)    any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination),
(ii)    any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company,
(iii)    any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety or
(iv)    any statutory share exchange,
in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Share Exchange Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Share Exchange Event, the right to convert each $1,000 Conversion Amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such
119



Conversion Amount of Notes into an amount of cash based on the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Share Exchange Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property”, with each “unit of Reference Property” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock is entitled to receive) upon such Share Exchange Event and, prior to or at the effective time of such Share Exchange Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 10.01(g) providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 Conversion Amount of Notes; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Share Exchange Event (a) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 shall continue to be payable in cash and (b) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property.
If the Share Exchange Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then the Reference Property upon which shall be based the cash into which the Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Common Stock. If the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in such Share Exchange Event, then for all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the effective date of such Share Exchange Event (A) the consideration due upon conversion of each of the Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the product of (x) the quotient of (i) the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Notes being converted on such Conversion Date divided by (ii) $1,000 times (y) the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date, multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Share Exchange Event and (B) the Company shall satisfy the Conversion Obligation by paying such cash amount to converting Holders on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.
If the Reference Property in respect of any such transaction described in the immediately preceding paragraph includes, in whole or in part, shares of Common Equity or American depositary receipts (or other interests) in respect thereof, such supplemental indenture shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that are as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article 14 with respect to the portion of the Reference Property consisting of such Common Equity or American depositary receipts (or other interests) in respect thereof. If, in the case of any Share Exchange Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets of a Person other than the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Share Exchange Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders as the Company in good faith reasonably considers necessary by reason of the foregoing.
(b)    When the Company executes a supplemental indenture pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 14.07, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise a unit of Reference Property after any such Share Exchange Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered notice thereof to all Holders. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be delivered to each Holder within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.
120



(c)    The Company shall not become a party to any Share Exchange Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 14.07. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a holder of Notes to convert its Notes into cash as set forth in Section 14.01 and Section 14.02 prior to the effective date of such Share Exchange Event.
(d)    Upon the consummation of any Share Exchange Event, for purposes of the definitions of “Fundamental Change” and “Make-Whole Fundamental Change”, references to “Common Stock” shall be deemed to refer to the Common Equity or American depository receipts, if any, forming part of the Reference Property that constitutes Capital Stock after giving effect to such Share Exchange Event.
(e)    The above provisions of this Section 14.07 shall similarly apply to successive Share Exchange Events.
Section 14.08    [Reserved].
Section 14.09    Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to deliver any cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 14. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 14.07 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) upon which shall be based the cash receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 14.07 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in conclusively relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event contemplated by Section 14.01(b)has occurred that makes the Notes eligible for conversion or no longer eligible therefor until the Company has delivered to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent the notices referred to in Section 14.01(b) with respect to the commencement or termination of such conversion rights, on which notices the Trustee and the Conversion Agent may conclusively rely, and the Company agrees to deliver such notices to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent immediately after the occurrence of any such event or at such other times as shall be provided for in Section 14.01(b). Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither the Trustee nor any other agent acting under this Indenture (other than the Company, if acting in such capacity) shall have any obligation to make any calculation or to determine whether the Notes may be surrendered for conversion pursuant to this Indenture, or to notify the Company or the Depositary or any of the Holders if the Notes have become convertible pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.
121



Section 14.10    Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case of any:
(a)    action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that would (or without regard to the proviso of the first sentence of Section 14.04 would) require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.04 or Section 14.11;
(b)    Share Exchange Event; or
(c)    voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Indenture), the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to be delivered to each Holder, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 20 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) the date on which such Share Exchange Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Share Exchange Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, Share Exchange Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
Section 14.11    Stockholder Rights Plans. If the Company has a stockholder rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Notes and, prior to any conversion of Notes, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights plan, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock Distributed Property consisting of such rights as provided in Section 14.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
Section 14.12    [Reserved].
ARTICLE 15
EARLY MATURITY OF NOTES AND REPURCHASE OF NOTES UPON A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE
Section 15.01    Maturity of Notes Upon an Existing Notes Test Maturity Date.
(a)    If an Existing Notes Test Maturity Date occurs at any time prior to the Stated Maturity, the aggregate principal amount of all Notes together with all accrued and unpaid interest at the full amount of Stated Interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) to, but excluding, the Existing Notes Test Maturity Date and the applicable Existing Notes Test Maturity Premium thereon shall become due and payable on the Existing Notes Test Maturity Date; provided, however, that if the Existing Notes Test Maturity Date falls after an Interest Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Interest Record Date relates, then (i) the Holder of any Note at the close of business on such Interest Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such Existing Notes Test Maturity Date, to receive, on such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest at the full amount of
122



Stated Interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date (assuming, solely for these purposes, that such Note remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date, if such Existing Notes Test Maturity Date is before such Interest Payment Date); and (ii) the Holder of such Note on the Existing Notes Test Maturity Date will be entitled to receive on such Existing Notes Test Maturity Date an amount in cash equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Note plus the Existing Notes Test Maturity Premium. Any Notes amount so becoming due and payable by the Company shall be paid only in cash.
(b)    “Existing Notes Test Maturity Date” means the Existing Notes Test Date if (but only if) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Existing Notes exceeds $60,000,000 on the Existing Notes Test Date. The Company shall immediately notify the Trustee and the Holders in writing of the occurrence of the Existing Notes Test Maturity Date.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder shall have the right to convert, in whole or in part, at any time after the Company provides an Existing Notes Test Date Notice until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Existing Notes Test Date by satisfaction of the conditions for conversion specified in accordance with Article 14.
(c)    If the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Existing Notes exceeds $60,000,000 on the 30th calendar day prior to an Existing Notes Test Date, then, on such date the Company shall provide to all Holders and the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and the Paying Agent (in the case of a Paying Agent other than the Trustee) a written notice (the “Existing Notes Test Date Notice”). In the case of Physical Notes, such notice shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Global Notes, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Each Existing Notes Test Date Notice shall specify:
(i)    the events causing the delivery of such Existing Notes Test Date Notice;
(ii)    that if more than $60,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes remain outstanding on the Existing Notes Test Date,
(A)    the aggregate principal amount of all Notes together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) shall become due and payable on such Existing Notes Test Date;
(B)    the Notes may be converted only if the Holder validly delivers a Notice of Conversion in accordance with the terms of this Indenture prior to the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Existing Notes Test Date;
(C)    except in the circumstances specified in the proviso to Section 15.01(a), interest on the Notes shall cease to accrue on and after the Existing Notes Test Date; and
(D)    Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Existing Notes Test Maturity Date;
(iii)     the Existing Notes Test Date;
123



(iv)    the amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and any applicable Existing Notes Test Maturity Premium payable on each $1,000 principal amount of Notes on the Existing Notes Test Maturity Date;
(v)    the name and address of the Paying Agent and Conversion Agent, if applicable;
(vi)    the Conversion Rate;
(vii)    the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the principal and accrued and unpaid interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and Existing Notes Test Maturity Premium on the Notes;
(viii)    the “Conversion Amount” on the Scheduled Trading Day prior to the Existing Notes Test Date applicable to each $1,000 principal amount of a Note; and the procedures a converting Holder must follow to convert its Notes; and
(ix)    the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to the Notes.
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit or affect the maturity of the Notes pursuant to this Section 15.01.

125

The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the Applicable Procedures shall be deemed to have been cancelled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Company shall not be required to repurchase, or to make an offer to repurchase, the Notes upon a Fundamental Change if a third party makes such an offer in the same manner, at the same time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company as set forth in this Article 15, and such third party purchases all Notes properly surrendered and not validly withdrawn under its offer in the same manner, at the same time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company as set forth in this Article 15.

The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
(b)    If by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the Notes to be repurchased on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then, with respect to the Notes that have been properly surrendered for repurchase and have not been validly withdrawn in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, (i) such Notes will cease to be outstanding, (ii) interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent) and (iii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate (other than the right to receive (x) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and (y) to the extent not included in the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price as specified in the proviso to Section 15.02(a), accrued and unpaid interest, if applicable).

ARTICLE 16
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
Section 16.01    Optional Redemption. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. The Company may (subject to Section 16.04) redeem at any time or from time to time (an “Optional Redemption”) for cash all or any portion of the Notes, selected in accordance with Section 16.02, on a pro rata basis, at the Redemption Price. For the avoidance of doubt, any redemption of the Notes in connection with a transaction that results in a Fundamental Change will be deemed to require payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price under Section 15.02 and not a voluntary prepayment under this Article 16.
Section 16.02    Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Notes. In case the Company exercises its Optional Redemption right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 16.01  it shall fix a date for redemption (each, a “Redemption Date”) and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) not less than 5 Scheduled Trading Days prior to date such notice is to be sent (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall deliver or cause to be delivered a notice of such Optional Redemption (a “Redemption Notice”) not less than 45 nor more than 60 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes so to be redeemed as a whole or in part; provided, however, that, if the Company shall give such Redemption Notice to the Holders of the Notes, it shall also deliver a copy to the Trustee. The Redemption Date must be a Business Day.
(a)    The Redemption Notice, if delivered in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such Redemption Notice by mail or any defect in the Redemption Notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.
(b)    Each Redemption Notice shall specify:
(i)    the Redemption Date;
(ii)    the Redemption Price;
(iii)    that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Note to be redeemed, and that, except in the circumstances specified in the third sentence of Section 16.03(a), interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;
(iv)    the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;
129



(v)    that Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date;
(vi)    the “Conversion Amount” on the Scheduled Trading Day prior to the Redemption Date applicable to each $1,000 principal amount of a Note; and the procedures a converting Holder must follow to convert its Notes;
(vii)    the Conversion Rate;
(viii)    the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such Notes; and
(ix)    in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued.
A Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable.
(c)    If fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof of a Global Note or the Notes in certificated form to be redeemed in Authorized Denominations by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee considers to be fair and appropriate or, in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. If any Note selected for partial redemption is submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the portion of the Note submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion selected for redemption.
Section 16.03    Payment of Notes Called for Redemption.
(a)    If any Redemption Notice has been given in respect of the Notes in accordance with Section 16.02, the Notes shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice and at the applicable Redemption Price. On presentation and surrender of the Notes at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice, the Notes shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price. If any Redemption Date is after an Interest Record Date and on or before the next Interest Payment Date, then (i) the Holder of such Note at the close of business on such Interest Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such Optional Redemption, to receive, on such Interest Payment Date the unpaid interest at the full amount of Stated Interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date (assuming, solely for these purposes, that such Note remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date, if such Redemption Date is before such Interest Payment Date); and (ii) the Holder of such Note on the Redemption Date will be entitled to receive the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date.
(b)    On or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent or, if the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 7.05 an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on the Redemption Date), sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. Subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, payment for the Notes to be redeemed shall be made on the Redemption Date
130



for such Notes. The Paying Agent shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Redemption Price.
Section 16.04    Restrictions on Redemption. The Company may not redeem any Notes on any date (i) if the aggregate principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Redemption Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to such Notes) or (ii) at any time during the period from and after the Company first announces or otherwise becomes aware of, or engages in any negotiation in respect of, any proposed Fundamental Change to and including the Business Day after the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

ARTICLE 18
GUARANTEES
Section 18.01    Note Guarantee.
(a)    Subject to this Article 18, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, on a senior basis, to each Holder, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and each of their successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (i) the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and any applicable Notes Premium on each of the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) and any applicable Notes Premium on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
(b)    Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver, amendment or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (other than payment in full of all of the obligations of the Company hereunder or under the Notes). Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations under Section 7.06) contained in the Notes, the Security Documents and this Indenture, or by release in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
(c)    If any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.
(d)    Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any Notes Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Notes Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations under Section 7.06) guaranteed hereby. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Notes Obligations
136



guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Notes Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Notes Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Notes Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Subsidiary Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantees.
(e)     Unless terminated in accordance with Section 18.06, each Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or the Note Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
(f)    In case any provision of any Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
(g)    Each payment to be made by a Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.
(h)    Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any such Note Guarantee or any such release, termination or discharge.
(i)    Each Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 18.01.
Section 18.02    Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, the Uniform Voidable Transactions Act or any similar U.S. federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Holders and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article 18, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or voidable transaction under applicable law.
137



Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Note Guarantee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be entitled upon payment in full of all Note Guarantee obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Section 18.03    Execution and Delivery.
(a)    To evidence a Note Guarantee set forth in Section 18.01, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute this Indenture or, if after the date hereof, a supplemental indenture pursuant to which it will agree to be a Subsidiary Guarantor and become bound by the terms of this Indenture applicable to Subsidiary Guarantors, including without limitation, this Article 18.
(b)    Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 18.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee on the Notes.
(c)    The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors.
(d)    If required by Section 4.16, the Company shall cause any newly created or acquired Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary, or any Subsidiary previously deemed to be an Excluded Subsidiary that ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary, to comply with the provisions of Section 4.16 and this Article 18, to the extent applicable, within (i) thirty (30) calendar days in the case of a Domestic Subsidiary and (ii) seventy-five (75) calendar days in the case of a Foreign Subsidiary, in each such case, on such applicable calendar day on which such Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary is created or acquired or ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary (or such later date agreed to by the Required Holders in their sole discretion (including by email)).
Section 18.04    Subrogation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 18.01; provided, that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnity obligations under Section 7.06).
Section 18.05    Benefits Acknowledged. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Note Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
Section 18.06    Release of Note Guarantees.
(a)    A Note Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and such Note Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no further force and effect, and no further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, the Company or the Trustee shall be required for the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Note Guarantee:
138



(i)     concurrently with any permitted sale, exchange, disposition or transfer (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of (x) any Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor following which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of the Company or (y) all or substantially all assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries;
(ii)     subject to compliance with the provisions of Article 11, upon the merger or consolidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor with and into either the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor wherein the Company or such other Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, is the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation;
(iii)     subject to compliance with the provisions of Article 11, upon the permitted dissolution or liquidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor following the transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to either the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor;

provided, that no such release shall occur if such Subsidiary Guarantor continues to be a guarantor or other obligor in respect of any Junior Indebtedness.

(b)    Upon such Subsidiary Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Section 18.06 relating to such release have been complied with, at the written request, and sole cost and expense, of the Company, the Trustee (or the Collateral Agent, if applicable) shall execute and deliver any documents reasonably requested by the Company in order to evidence such release, discharge and termination in respect of the applicable Note Guarantee.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Redemption Price on any Redemption Date, the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price on the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date, any accrued and unpaid interest (including both the cash interest and PIK Interest portions thereof) on an Interest Payment Date and the principal amount and any accrued interest and Notes Premium on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in certain other circumstances, with the consent of the Required Holders, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. The Indenture also provides that, subject to certain exceptions, the Required Holders may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences.

SECTION 2.03.    Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each of the Junior Priority Representatives, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Lien securing, or the allowability or value of any claims asserted with respect to, any Senior Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of the Senior Representative or any of the other Senior Secured Parties or other agent or trustee therefor in any Senior Collateral, and the Senior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Senior Secured Party, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Lien securing, or the allowability or value of any claims asserted with respect to, any Junior Priority Debt Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of any of any Junior Priority Representative or any of the Junior Priority Debt Parties in the Junior Priority Collateral.

SECTION 2.04.    No New Liens. (a) Subject to the terms hereof, the parties hereto agree that, so long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, (i) none of the Grantors shall grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure any Junior Priority Debt Obligation unless it has granted, or concurrently therewith grants, a Lien on such asset or property of such Grantor to secure the Senior Obligations; and (ii) if any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party shall hold any Lien on any assets or property of any Grantor securing any Junior Priority Debt Obligations that are not also subject to the first-priority Liens securing all Senior Obligations under the Senior Collateral Documents, such Junior Priority Representative or Junior Priority Debt Party (x) shall notify in writing the Senior Representative promptly upon becoming aware thereof and promptly grant a similar Lien on such assets or property to the Senior Representative as security for the Senior Obligations, shall assign such Lien to the Senior Representative as security for all Senior Obligations for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties (but may retain a junior lien on such assets or property subject to the terms hereof) and (y) until such assignment or such grant of a similar Lien to the Senior Representative, shall be deemed to also hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of the Senior Representative and the other Senior Secured Parties as security for the Senior Obligations, subject to the Lien priorities set forth in this Agreement.

Except for the limited agreements of the Senior Representative pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof, none of the Senior Representative or the Senior Secured Parties shall be responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of Liens with respect to the Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Junior Priority Representatives or the Junior Priority Debt Parties. The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the Senior Secured Parties and the Junior Priority Debt Parties and shall not impose on the Senior Representative, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Priority Representatives, the Junior Priority Debt Parties or any agent or trustee therefor any obligations in respect of the disposition of Proceeds of any Shared Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any applicable law.
ARTICLE III
Enforcement
SECTION 3.01.    Exercise of Remedies.
(a)    So long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor, (i) neither any Junior Priority Representative nor any Junior Priority Debt Party will (w) file or commence any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding against the Company or any other Grantor, (x) exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff or recoupment) with respect to any Shared Collateral in respect of any Junior Priority Debt Obligations, or otherwise commence, or join with any Person (other than the Senior Secured Parties and the Senior Representative upon the request of the Senior Representative) in commencing, any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding, with respect to any Lien held by it on the Shared Collateral under any of the Junior Priority Debt Documents or otherwise in respect of the Junior Priority Debt Obligations), (y) contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought with respect to the Shared Collateral or any other Senior Collateral by the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party in respect of the Senior Obligations, the exercise of any right by the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party (or any agent or sub-agent on their behalf) in respect of the Senior Obligations under any lockbox agreement, control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party either is a party or may have rights as a third party beneficiary, or any other exercise by any such party of any rights and remedies relating to the Shared Collateral under the Senior Debt Documents or otherwise in respect of the Senior Collateral or the Senior Obligations, or (z) object to the forbearance by the Senior Secured Parties from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Shared Collateral in respect of Senior Obligations and (ii) except as otherwise provided herein, the Senior Representative and the Senior Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including setoff or recoupment and the right to credit bid their debt) and make determinations regarding the release, disposition or restrictions with respect to the Shared Collateral, and to determine and direct the time, method and place for exercising any such rights, enforcing any such remedies or conducting any proceeding with respect to any such exercise or enforcement with respect to the Shared Collateral, without any consultation with or the consent of any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party; provided, however, that (A) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor, any Junior Priority Representative may file a claim, proof of claim or statement of interest with respect to the Junior Priority Debt Obligations under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, and (B) any Junior Priority Representative may take any action (not
-11-


adverse to the prior Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Senior Obligations or the rights of the Senior Representative or the Senior Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to create, prove, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its rights in, and perfection and priority of its Lien on, the Shared Collateral (in each case of clauses (A) and (B) above, solely to the extent such action is not in violation of, or otherwise inconsistent with, any other provision of this Agreement or contrary to the Lien priorities set forth in this Agreement). In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Senior Collateral, the Senior Representative and the Senior Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the Senior Debt Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Shared Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.
(b)    So long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will not take or receive any Shared Collateral or any Proceeds of Shared Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff or recoupment) with respect to any Shared Collateral in respect of Junior Priority Debt Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.01(a), the sole right of the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties with respect to the Shared Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Shared Collateral in respect of Junior Priority Debt Obligations pursuant to the Junior Priority Debt Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred.
(c)    Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.01(a), (i) each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that neither such Junior Priority Representative nor any such Junior Priority Debt Party will take any action that would hinder, interfere with, or delay any exercise of remedies undertaken by the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party with respect to the Shared Collateral under the Senior Debt Documents, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Shared Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby waives any and all rights it or any such Junior Priority Debt Party may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the Senior Representative or the Senior Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the Senior Obligations or the Liens granted on any of the Senior Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party is adverse to the interests of the Junior Priority Debt Parties.
(d)    Each Junior Priority Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Junior Priority Debt Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Senior Representative or the Senior Secured Parties with respect to the Senior Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior Debt Documents.
(e)    Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Senior Representative (or any Person authorized by it) shall have the exclusive right to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Shared Collateral and shall have the exclusive right to determine and direct the time, method and place for exercising such right or remedy or conducting any proceeding with respect thereto. Following the
-12-


Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Designated Junior Priority Representative (or any Person authorized by it) who may be instructed by the Junior Priority Majority Representatives shall have the exclusive right to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Collateral, and the Designated Junior Priority Representative (or any Person authorized by it) who may be instructed by the Junior Priority Majority Representatives shall have the exclusive right to direct the time, method and place of exercising or conducting any proceeding for the exercise of any right or remedy available to the Junior Priority Debt Parties with respect to the Collateral, or of exercising or directing the exercise of any trust or power conferred on the Junior Priority Representatives, or for the taking of any other action authorized by the Junior Priority Collateral Documents; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Junior Priority Representative or other agent or trustee acting on behalf of the Junior Priority Debt Parties to take such actions with respect to the Collateral after the Discharge of Senior Obligations as may be otherwise required or authorized pursuant to any intercreditor agreement governing the Junior Priority Debt Parties or the Junior Priority Debt Obligations.
SECTION 3.02.    Cooperation. The Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party, agrees that unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, it will not commence, or join with any other Person (other than the Senior Representative and Senior Secured Parties) in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in the Shared Collateral or any other collateral under any of the applicable Junior Priority Debt Documents or otherwise in respect of the applicable Junior Priority Debt Obligations relating to the Shared Collateral.
SECTION 3.03.    Actions upon Breach. Should any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt to take or threaten to take any action with respect to the Shared Collateral (including any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement) or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, the Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party (in its or their own name or in the name of the Company or any other Grantor) or the Company or any other Grantor may obtain relief against such Junior Priority Representative or such Junior Priority Debt Party by injunction, specific performance or other appropriate equitable relief. Each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby (i) agrees that the Senior Secured Parties’ damages from the actions of the Junior Priority Representatives or any Junior Priority Debt Party may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable and waives any defense that the Senior Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage or be made whole by the awarding of money, (ii) agrees that the Company’s and the other Grantors’ damages from the actions of the Junior Priority Representative or any other Junior Priority Debt Party may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable and waives any defense that the Company or any other Grantor cannot demonstrate damage or be made whole by the awarding of damages and (iii) irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action that may be brought by the Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party.

SECTION 5.01.    Releases.
(a)    Each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that (i) (x) if in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition or release of any Shared Collateral by any Grantor (other than in connection with any enforcement or exercise of rights or remedies with respect to the Shared Collateral which shall be governed by clause (ii)) not prohibited under the terms of the Senior Debt Documents or consented to by the holders of Senior Obligations under the Senior Debt Documents (other than in connection with the Discharge of Senior Obligations) or (y) if the Senior Liens on any Shared Collateral have been or are being otherwise released by the Senior Representative, for itself and on behalf of the other Senior Secured Parties, in connection with a Subsidiary that is released from its guarantee under the Senior Debt Documents and the Junior Priority Debt Documents (in each case, pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Senior Debt Documents and the Junior Priority Debt Documents) or (ii) if in connection with the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to the Shared Collateral, including any sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral, the Senior Representative, for itself and on behalf of the other Senior Secured Parties releases any of the Senior Liens on the Shared Collateral (a “Release”), then the Liens on such Shared Collateral securing any Junior Priority Debt Obligations shall (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at such time) be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released without further action, and each Junior

Similarly, if the equity interests of any Person are foreclosed upon or otherwise disposed of or released pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above and in connection therewith the Senior Representative releases the Senior Liens on the property or assets of such Person or releases such Person from its guarantee of Senior Obligations, then the Junior Priority Lien on such property or assets of such Person and such Person’s guarantee of Junior Priority Debt Obligations shall be automatically released to the same extent.

(b)    Without the prior written consent of the Senior Representative, no Junior Priority Debt Document may be amended, restated, amended and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified, or entered into, and no Indebtedness under the Junior Priority Debt Documents may be Refinanced, to the extent such amendment, restatement, supplement or modification or Refinancing, or the terms of such new Junior Priority Debt Document, would (i) adversely affect the lien priority rights of the Senior Secured Parties or the rights of the Senior Secured Parties to receive payments owing pursuant to the Senior Debt Documents, (ii) except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, add any Liens securing the Collateral granted under the Junior Priority Collateral Documents, (iii) confer any additional rights on the Junior Priority Representative or any other Junior Priority Debt Party in a manner adverse to

In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.”
(c)    In the event that the Senior Representative and/or the Senior Secured Parties enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the Senior Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the Senior Representative, the Senior Secured Parties, the Company or any other Grantor thereunder (including the release of any Liens in Senior Collateral and/or the release of any Grantor of its guaranty of the Senior Obligations) in a manner that is applicable to the Senior Indenture, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each comparable Junior Priority Collateral Document without the consent of any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party and without any action by any Junior Priority Representative, the Company or any other Grantor; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall (A) remove assets subject to the Junior Priority Liens or release any such Liens, except to the extent that such release is permitted or required by Section 5.01(a) and provided that there is a substantially concurrent release of the corresponding Senior Liens or (B) impose duties that are adverse on any Junior Priority Representative without its prior written consent.

(c)    Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Senior Representative and the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents as if the Liens under the Junior Priority Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties with respect to the Pledged or Controlled Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(d)    The Senior Representative and the Senior Secured Parties shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Junior Priority Representatives or any Junior Priority Debt Party to assure that any of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Shared Collateral, except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.05. The duties or responsibilities of the Senior Representative under this Section 5.05 shall be limited solely to holding, controlling, or being notated on, the Shared Collateral and the related Liens referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.05 as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Section 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the Uniform Commercial Code, to the extent applicable) for the relevant Junior Priority Representative for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Junior Priority Representative.
-18-


(e)    The Senior Representative shall not have by reason of the Junior Priority Collateral Documents or this Agreement, or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party, and each, Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby waives and releases the Senior Representative from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Senior Representative’s roles under this Section 5.05 as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee with respect to the Shared Collateral.
(f)    Upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations, each applicable Senior Representative shall, at the Grantors’ sole cost and expense, (i) (A) deliver to the Designated Junior Priority Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all Proceeds thereof, held or controlled by the Senior Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral or in connection with notations on certificates of title, or (B) direct and deliver such Shared Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, (ii) notify any applicable insurance carrier that it is no longer entitled to be a loss payee or additional insured under the insurance policies of any Grantor issued by such insurance carrier, and (iii) notify any governmental authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving any Grantor that the Designated Junior Priority Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding. The Company and the other Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify the Senior Representative for loss or damage suffered by the Senior Representative as a result of such transfer, except for loss or damage suffered by any such Person as a result of its own (or its related parties’) gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Senior Representative has no obligations to follow instructions from any Junior Priority Representative or any other Junior Priority Debt Party in contravention of this Agreement. The Senior Representative shall not have any liability to any Junior Priority Debt Party.
(g)    None of the Senior Representative nor any of the other Senior Secured Parties shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for any obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary to the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party under the Senior Debt Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof or to any Junior Priority Debt Party, or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect of such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.
SECTION 5.06.    When Discharge of Senior Obligations Deemed To Not Have Occurred. If, at any time substantially concurrently with or after the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Company or any Subsidiary consummates any Refinancing or incurs any Senior Obligations (other than in respect of the payment of indemnities surviving the Discharge of Senior Obligations), then such Discharge of Senior Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such designation, consummation or incurrence as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Senior Obligations) and the applicable agreement governing such Senior Obligations shall automatically be treated as a Senior Debt Document for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Shared Collateral set forth herein and the agent, representative or trustee for the holders of such Senior Obligations shall be the Senior Representative for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon
-19-


receipt of notice of such incurrence (including the identity of the new Senior Representative), each Junior Priority Representative (including the Designated Junior Priority Representative) shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (at the expense of the Company), including amendments or supplements to this Agreement, as the Company or such new Senior Representative shall reasonably request in writing in order to provide the new Senior Representative the rights of a Senior Representative contemplated hereby, (b) deliver to the Senior Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all Proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Junior Priority Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights in or access to Shared Collateral or in connection with notations on certificates of title, (c) upon the reasonable request of any applicable Grantor, notify any applicable insurance carrier that the new Senior Representative is entitled to be a loss payee or additional insured under the insurance policies of any Grantor issued by such insurance carrier and (d) notify any governmental authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving a Grantor that the new Senior Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding.
ARTICLE VI
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.
SECTION 6.01.    Financing Issues. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, if the Company or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party shall desire to consent (or not object) to the sale, use or lease of cash or other collateral or to consent (or not object) to the Company’s or any other Grantor’s obtaining financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will raise no objection to, will not support any objection to, and will not otherwise contest such sale, use or lease of such cash or other collateral or such DIP Financing and, except to the extent permitted by the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.01(a) and Section 6.03, will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith and, to the extent the Liens securing any Senior Obligations are subordinated or pari passu with such DIP Financing, will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) its Liens in the Shared Collateral to (x) such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the Liens securing the Junior Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement, (y) any adequate protection Liens granted to the Senior Secured Parties, and (z) to any “carve-out” for professional and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Representative. Each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, further agrees that, until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, it will raise no (a) objection to (and will not otherwise contest) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of Senior Obligations made by the Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party, (b) objection to (and will not otherwise contest) any lawful exercise by any Senior Secured Party of the right to credit bid Senior Obligations at any sale in foreclosure of Senior Collateral or under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, (c) objection to (and will not otherwise contest) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any Senior Secured Party relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on Senior Collateral, or (d) objection to (and will not otherwise contest or oppose) any order relating
-20-


to a sale or other disposition of assets of any Grantor (including under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law) for which the Senior Representative has consented or not objected that provides, to the extent such sale or other disposition is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the Senior Obligations and the Junior Priority Debt Obligations will attach to the Proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Senior Obligations rank to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Junior Priority Debt Obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that notice received two (2) Business Days prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of cash or other collateral or approving such financing shall be adequate notice. In no event shall the Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party (i) offer to provide, or propose, any DIP Financing to any Grantor or (ii) credit bid any Junior Priority Debt Obligations, in each case without the written consent of the Senior Representative unless the Senior Obligations would be indefeasibly paid in full in cash with the first proceeds of such DIP Financing or credit bid.
SECTION 6.02.    Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, or support or join, directly or indirectly, any party in doing or performing the same, in each case in respect of any Shared Collateral or any other collateral, without the prior written consent of the Senior Representative.
SECTION 6.03.    Adequate Protection. Each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall (A) object, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting and shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right to contest (a) any request by the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Parties for adequate protection, (b) any objection by the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Senior Representative’s or Senior Secured Party’s claiming a lack of adequate protection, or (c) the allowance and/or payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts of the Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, (B) assert or support any claim for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or (C) request any form of adequate protection except as permitted by the following sentence or as agreed by the Senior Representative. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.03 or in Section 6.01, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, no Junior Priority Representative or Junior Priority Debt Party shall be entitled (and the Junior Priority Representatives and Junior Priority Debt Parties shall be deemed to have irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right) to seek or otherwise be granted any type of adequate protection with respect to its interests in the Collateral; provided, however, that (i) if the Senior Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral and/or superpriority claims in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (other than in a role of DIP Financing provider), then each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority claim (as applicable), which (A) Lien is subordinated to the Liens securing or providing adequate protection for, or claims with respect to, all Senior Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all
-21-


obligations relating thereto and any “carve-out”) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Priority Debt Obligations are subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement and/or (B) superpriority claim is subordinated to all superpriority claims of the Senior Secured Parties on the same basis as the other claims of the Junior Priority Debt Parties on the same basis that the other claims of the Junior Priority Debt Parties are subordinated to the claims of the Senior Secured Parties under this Agreement, and each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Debt Parties, shall have irrevocably agreed, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, in any stipulation and/or order granting such adequate protection, that such junior superpriority claims may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claims, (ii) in the event any Junior Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the Junior Priority Debt Parties under their Junior Priority Debt Facilities, seek or request adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority claim (in each instance, to the extent such grant is otherwise permissible under the terms and conditions of this Agreement), then such Junior Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under their Junior Priority Debt Facilities, agree that the Senior Representative shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority claim (as applicable) as security and adequate protection for the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral and/or superpriority claim securing or providing adequate protection for the Junior Priority Debt Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing, and claims with respect to, the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto and any “carve-out”) and any other Liens and superpriority claims granted to the Senior Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement and (1) each such Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Debt Parties, shall have irrevocably agreed pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, in any stipulation and/or order granting such adequate protection, that such junior superpriority claims may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claims, and (2) to the extent the Senior Secured Parties are not granted such adequate protection in such form, any amounts recovered by or distributed to any Junior Priority Debt Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral so granted to the Junior Priority Debt Parties shall be subject to Section 4.02, and/or (iii) in the event any Junior Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the other Junior Priority Debt Parties under their Junior Priority Debt Facilities, are granted adequate protection (in each instance, to the extent such grant is otherwise permissible under the terms and conditions of this Agreement) in the form of a superpriority claim, then such Junior Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each other Junior Priority Debt Party under their respective Junior Priority Debt Facilities, agree that the Senior Representative shall also be granted adequate protection in the form of a superpriority claim, which superpriority claim shall be senior to the superpriority claim of the Junior Priority Debt Parties (and, to the extent the Senior Secured Parties are not granted such adequate protection in such form, any amounts recovered by or distributed to any Junior Priority Debt Party pursuant to or as a result of any such superpriority claim so granted to the Junior Priority Debt Parties shall be subject to Section 4.02). Each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each applicable Junior Priority Debt Party, agrees that (a) any adequate protection provided to the Junior Priority Debt Parties may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of cash, indebtedness, equity or other property and (b) the Junior Priority Debt Parties shall not seek adequate protection in the form of payments for current post-petition fees and expenses and/or any other cash payments.
-22-


SECTION 6.04.    Preference Issues. If any Senior Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay any amount to the estate of the Company or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar Person therefor), because the payment of such amount was declared to be or avoided as fraudulent or preferential or otherwise under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or similar provisions of any other Bankruptcy Law, in any respect or for any other reason, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as Proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or recoupment or otherwise, then the Senior Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement until a Discharge of Senior Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. Each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby agrees that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.
SECTION 6.05.    Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classifications. Each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents and the Junior Priority Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Shared Collateral, the Junior Priority Debt Obligations are fundamentally different from the Senior Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization, plan of liquidation, agreement for composition, or other type of plan of arrangement or restructuring proposed, confirmed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that any claims of the Senior Secured Parties and the Junior Priority Debt Parties in respect of the Shared Collateral constitute a single class of claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions from the Shared Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Shared Collateral, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Shared Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Priority Debt Parties), the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest, fees, expenses and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees and expenses (whether or not allowed or allowable in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution from the Shared Collateral is made in respect of the Junior Priority Debt Obligations, with each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Senior Representative amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Junior Priority Debt Parties.
SECTION 6.06.    No Waivers of Rights of Senior Secured Parties. Nothing contained herein shall, except as expressly provided herein, prohibit or in any way limit the Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Junior Priority Debt Party, including the seeking by any Junior Priority Debt
-23-


Party of adequate protection or the asserting by any Junior Priority Debt Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Junior Priority Debt Documents or otherwise.
SECTION 6.07.    Application. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. The relative rights as to the Shared Collateral and Proceeds thereof shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition therefor, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor. All references herein to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor.
SECTION 6.08.    Other Matters. To the extent that any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to any of the Shared Collateral, such Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees not to assert any such rights without the prior written consent of the Senior Representative, provided that if requested by the Senior Representative, such Junior Priority Representative shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the Senior Representative, including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.
SECTION 6.09.    Limitations. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will not, and will not join with or support any third party in making, opposing, objecting or contesting, as the case may be, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) oppose, object to or contest the determination of the extent of the Liens held by any of the Senior Secured Parties or the value of any super priority claims under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) oppose, object to or contest the payment to the Senior Secured Parties of interest, fees or expenses under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the Senior Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Shared Collateral. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, to the extent any Junior Priority Debt Party receives any payments or consideration on account of or resulting from claims under 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law in violation of the immediately-preceding sentence, then such Junior Priority Debt Party will turn over to the Senior Representative such amounts, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Junior Priority Debt Parties.
SECTION 6.10.    Reorganization Securities; Voting.
(a)    If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor or equity securities are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization, plan of liquidation, agreement for composition, or other type of plan of arrangement or restructuring, on account of the Senior Obligations and/or the Junior Priority Debt Obligations (collectively, a “Plan Distribution”), any such Plan Distribution received by a Junior Priority Debt Party shall be turned over to the Senior Representative for application in accordance with Section 4.2.
-24-


(b)    No Junior Priority Debt Party (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) shall propose, vote in favor of, or otherwise directly or indirectly support any plan of reorganization, plan of liquidation, agreement for composition, or other type of plan of arrangement or restructuring that is inconsistent with or in contravention of the terms of the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of the other provisions of this Agreement, any vote to accept, and any other act to support the confirmation or approval of, any plan or reorganization or liquidation that is inconsistent with or in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, including in any Junior Priority Debt Party’s capacity as an unsecured creditor, shall be inconsistent with and, accordingly, a violation of the terms of this Agreement and the Senior Representative shall be entitled (and is hereby authorized by the Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of each applicable Junior Priority Debt Party) to have any such vote to accept any such plan of reorganization or liquidation changed and any such support of any such plan of reorganization or liquidation withdrawn.
SECTION 6.11.    Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, shall not object to, oppose, support any objection to, or take any other action to impede, the right of any Senior Secured Party to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law. The Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any senior claimholder arising out of the election by any Senior Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law.
SECTION 6.12.    Post-Petition Interest. Neither the Junior Priority Representative nor any other Junior Priority Debt Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Senior Obligations consisting of claims for post-petition interest, fees, or expenses under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or otherwise. Regardless of whether any such claim for post-petition interest, fees or expenses is allowed or allowable, and without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement expressly is intended to include and does include the “rule of explicitness” in that this Agreement expressly entitles the Senior Secured Parties, and is intended to provide the Senior Secured Parties with the right, to receive payment of all post-petition interest, fees or expenses through distributions made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement even though such interest, fees and expenses are not allowed or allowable against the bankruptcy estate of the Company or any other Grantor under Section 502(b)(2) or Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law.
SECTION 6.13.    Deficiency Claim Turnover. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, if, in connection with an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, any Junior Priority Debt Party receives a distribution (whether in cash or in-kind) solely on account of a deficiency claim out of property not constituting Collateral (such amount, the “Turnover Proceeds”), such Junior Priority Debt Party’s interest in such Turnover Proceeds shall be subject and subordinate to the Senior Secured Parties, and the Junior Priority Debt Parties shall segregate and hold in trust such Turnover Proceeds for the benefit of Senior Secured Parties and shall forthwith pay over such Turnover Proceeds in the form received to the Senior Representative for application to the Senior Obligations.
SECTION 6.14.    Asset Dispositions. Neither the Junior Priority Representative nor any other Junior Priority Debt Party shall, in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or
-25-


disposition of any Collateral that is supported by the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party, and the Junior Priority Representative and each other Junior Priority Debt Party will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale of any Collateral supported by the Senior Secured Parties and to have released their Liens on such assets to the extent such assets constitute Junior Priority Collateral; provided that the proceeds of such sale or disposition are applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no Junior Priority Debt Party shall raise any objection that an unsecured creditor could assert in its capacity as an unsecured creditor.
ARTICLE VII
Reliance; Etc.
SECTION 7.01.    Reliance. The consent by the Senior Secured Parties to the execution and delivery of the Junior Priority Debt Documents to which the Senior Secured Parties have consented and all loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after the date hereof by the Senior Secured Parties to the Company or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges that it and such Junior Priority Debt Parties have, independently and without reliance on the Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Junior Priority Debt Documents to which they are party or by which they are bound, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and they will continue to make their own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Junior Priority Debt Documents or this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 7.01 shall impose any obligation on any Representative to make any credit decisions beyond that which may be required by its applicable debt documents.
SECTION 7.02.    No Warranties or Liability. Each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that neither the Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the Senior Debt Documents, the ownership of any Shared Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The Senior Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Senior Debt Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior Secured Parties may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties have in the Shared Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither the Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party shall have any duty to any Junior Priority Representative or Junior Priority Debt Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary (including the Junior Priority Debt Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Senior Representative, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties have not otherwise made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectability of any of the Senior Obligations, the Junior Priority Debt Obligations or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection
-26-


therewith, (b) any Grantor’s title to or right to transfer any of the Shared Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
SECTION 7.03.    Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the Senior Representative, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:
(a)    any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Debt Document or any Junior Priority Debt Document;
(b)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the Senior Obligations or Junior Priority Debt Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of the Senior Indenture or any other Senior Debt Document or of the terms of any Junior Priority Debt Document;
(c)    any exchange of any security interest in any Shared Collateral or any other collateral or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the Senior Obligations or Junior Priority Debt Obligations or any guarantee thereof;
(d)    the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Company or any other Grantor; or
(e)    any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, (i) the Company or any other Grantor in respect of the Senior Obligations (other than as set forth in Section 5.06 hereof or other payments or performance) or (ii) any Junior Priority Representative or Junior Priority Debt Party in respect of this Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII
Miscellaneous
SECTION 8.01.    Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any Senior Debt Document or any Junior Priority Debt Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.
SECTION 8.02.    Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. Subject to Section 5.06 and Section 6.04, this Agreement shall continue to be effective until the Discharge of Senior Obligations shall have occurred. This is a continuing agreement of Lien and payment subordination, and the Senior Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the Junior Priority Representatives or any Junior Priority Debt Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Company or any Subsidiary constituting Senior Obligations in reliance hereon. The terms of this Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith
-27-


negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 8.03.    Amendments; Waivers.
(a)    No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, remedy, privilege or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, privilege or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, remedy, privilege or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, privilege or power. The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers, privileges or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b)    This Agreement may only be amended or modified or any provision waived by an instrument in writing signed by each Representative (in each case, acting in accordance with the documents governing the applicable Debt Facility) and the Grantors. Any such amendment, supplement or waiver shall be in writing and shall be binding upon the Senior Secured Parties and the Junior Priority Debt Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Each waiver of the terms of this Agreement, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall not impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Secured Party, any Representative may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 8.09 of this Agreement and upon such execution and delivery, such Representative and the Secured Parties and Junior Priority Debt Obligations of the Debt Facility for which such Representative is acting shall be subject to the terms hereof.
SECTION 8.04.    Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries. The Senior Representative, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries and all endorsers or guarantors of the Senior Obligations or the Junior Priority Debt Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Senior Obligations or the Junior Priority Debt Obligations. The Senior Representative, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties shall have no duty to advise any other party hereunder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event that the Senior Representative, any Senior Secured Party, any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it shall be under no obligation to (i) make, and the Senior Representative, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties shall not make or be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (ii) provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (iii) undertake any investigation or (iv) disclose any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance
-28-


practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential. Nothing in this Section 8.04 shall impose an obligation on the Senior Representative or the trustee under the Senior Indenture to keep itself informed as to the financial condition of the Company or its Subsidiaries or the risk of non-payment beyond that which may be required by the Senior Indenture.
SECTION 8.05.    Subrogation. Each Junior Priority Representative, for and on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby waives any rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred.
SECTION 8.06.    Application of Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments received by the Senior Secured Parties may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the Senior Obligations as the Senior Secured Parties, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents. Each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, assents to any such extension or postponement of the time of payment of the Senior Obligations or any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release of any security that may at any time secure any part of the Senior Obligations and to the addition or release of any other Person primarily or secondarily liable therefor.
SECTION 8.07.    Additional Grantors. The Grantors agree that, if any Subsidiary shall become a Grantor after the date hereof, it will promptly cause such Subsidiary to become party hereto by executing and delivering an instrument substantially in the form of Annex I. Upon such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary will become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereunder, and will be acknowledged by the Designated Junior Priority Representative and the Senior Representative. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 8.08.    Refinancings. The Senior Obligations and the Junior Priority Debt (other than the Initial Junior Priority Debt) may be refinanced or replaced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the refinancing or replacement under any Senior Debt Document or Junior Priority Debt Document) of the Senior Representative, any Junior Priority Representative or any other Secured Party, all without affecting the Lien priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided that any such refinancing or replacement debt shall satisfy the requirements of Section 8.09. The Designated Junior Priority Representative hereby agrees that at the request of the Company, in connection with a refinancing or replacement of Senior Obligations in accordance with Section 5.06 (“Replacement Senior Obligations”), it will enter into a customary agreement with the agent for the Replacement Senior Obligations containing terms and conditions substantially similar to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or otherwise terms and conditions that are customary.
SECTION 8.09.    Additional Junior Debt Facilities. To the extent, but only to the extent, permitted by the provisions of the then extant Senior Debt Documents and the Junior Priority Debt Documents, the Company may incur or issue and sell one or more series or classes of Junior Priority Debt. Any such additional class or series of Junior Priority Debt (the “Junior Priority Class Debt”) may be secured by a Junior priority or third priority (or lower priority, and in each case of third priority or lower priority, subject to an intercreditor agreement required pursuant to Junior Priority Debt Documents), subordinated Lien on Shared Collateral, in each case under and pursuant to the relevant
-29-


Junior Priority Collateral Documents for such Junior Priority Class Debt, if and subject to the condition that the Representative of any such Junior Priority Class Debt (each, a “Junior Priority Class Debt Representative”), acting on behalf of the holders of such Junior Priority Class Debt (such Representative and holders in respect of any Junior Priority Class Debt being referred to as the “Junior Priority Class Debt Parties”), becomes a party to this Agreement by satisfying conditions (i) through (iii), as applicable of this Section 8.09. In order for a Junior Priority Class Debt Representative to become a party to this Agreement:
(i)    such Junior Priority Class Debt Representative shall have executed and delivered a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Annex II hereto (with such changes as may be reasonably approved by the Senior Representative and such Junior Priority Class Debt Representative) pursuant to which it becomes a Representative hereunder, and the Class Debt in respect of which such Junior Priority Class Debt Representative is the Representative and the related Junior Priority Class Debt Parties become subject hereto and bound hereby;
(ii)    the Company shall have delivered to the Senior Representative and Designated Junior Priority Representative an officer’s certificate stating that the conditions set forth in this Section 8.09 are satisfied (or waived) with respect to such Junior Priority Class Debt and, if requested, true and complete copies of each of the material Junior Priority Debt Documents relating to such Junior Priority Class Debt, certified as being true and correct in all material respects by an Authorized Officer of the Company; and identifying the obligations to be designated as Additional Junior Priority Debt, as applicable, and certifying that such obligations are permitted to be incurred and secured on a junior basis under each of the Junior Priority Debt Documents; and
(iii)    the Junior Priority Debt Documents relating to such Junior Priority Class Debt shall provide that each Junior Priority Class Debt Party with respect to such Junior Priority Class Debt will be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement in its capacity as a holder of such Junior Priority Class Debt.
SECTION 8.10.    Consent to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Representative, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties of the Debt Facility for which it is acting, irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a)    consents and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to obligations, liabilities or any other matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or the courts of the United States of America located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York and, until amounts due and to become due in respect of the Notes have been paid, hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in personam, generally and unconditionally with respect to any action, suit or proceeding for itself in respect of its properties, assets and revenues; and
(b)    waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement brought in the courts of the State of New York or the courts of the United States of America located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, Lynrock Lake Master Fund LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (together with any successor or permitted assignee or transferee of this Warrant or of any shares issued upon exercise hereof, “Holder”) is entitled to purchase up to the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Shares”) of the above-stated common stock (the “Common Stock”) of the above-named company (the “Company”) at the above-stated Warrant Price, all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant. The term “Warrant” as used herein shall include this Warrant and any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein.

SECTION 1. EXERCISE

1.1    Method of Exercise. Holder may at any time and from time to time exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company, in any of the manners permitted by Section 5.5, the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1, and, unless Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a cashless exercise set forth in Section 1.2, a check, wire transfer of same-day funds (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased (rounded up to the nearest whole penny). Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, in no event shall Holder be required to surrender or deliver an ink-signed paper copy of this Warrant or the Notice of Exercise in connection with its exercise hereof or of any rights hereunder, nor shall Holder be required to surrender or deliver a paper or other physical copy of this Warrant or a paper or other physical copy of the Notice of Exercise in connection with any exercise hereof (in each case, delivery by electronic mail being sufficient).

1.2    Cashless Exercise.

of the aggregate Warrant Price);

A = the Fair Market Value of one Share; and

B = the Warrant Price.

1.3    Fair Market Value. “Fair Market Value” shall mean: (a) with respect to the Common Stock or any other security that is then listed on a national stock exchange, the closing price or last sale price of such security reported for the business day immediately prior to the applicable date of determination; (b) with respect to the Common Stock or any other security that is not listed on a national stock exchange but is then quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. OTC Bulletin Board or such similar exchange or association, the closing price or last sale price of a share or unit of such security thereon reported for the business day immediately prior to the applicable date of determination; or (c) if neither of the foregoing applies, as jointly determined by the board of directors of the Company and Holder; provided, that if the parties are unable to reach agreement within a reasonable period of time, then such fair market value determination shall be determined by a nationally recognized investment banking, accounting or valuation firm that is not affiliated with the Company or Holder, in which case, the determination of such firm shall be final and conclusive (and the fees and expenses of such valuation firm shall be borne by the Company).

1.4    Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Within a reasonable time after Holder exercises this Warrant in the manner set forth in Section 1.1 or 1.2 above, the Company shall deliver to Holder a certificate representing the Shares issued to Holder upon such exercise and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Shares not so acquired.

1.5    Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation, the Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.

1.6    Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company.

(a)    Acquisition. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any transaction or series of related transactions involving: (i) the sale, lease, exclusive license, or



other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets (including intellectual property) of the Company; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another person or entity (other than a merger or consolidation effected exclusively to change the Company’s domicile), or any other corporate reorganization or recapitalization, in which the stockholders of the Company in their capacity as such immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, reorganization, or recapitalization, own less than a majority of the Company’s (or the surviving or successor entity’s) outstanding voting power immediately after such merger, consolidation, reorganization, or recapitalization; (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; or (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another person or group of related persons (as defined in Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act) whereby such other person or group acquires 50% or more of the Company’s then-outstanding total voting power.

(b)    Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition. In the event of an Acquisition in which the consideration to be received by the Company’s stockholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a “Cash/Public Acquisition”), and the Fair Market Value of one Share would be greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date immediately prior to such Cash/Public Acquisition, and Holder has not exercised this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.1 above as to all Shares, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be Cashless Exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Shares effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of a Cash/Public Acquisition; provided, however, that to the extent such exercise would violate the limitations on exercise set forth in Section 1.7, the Company must arrange for any Excess Exercise Shares (as defined herein) to be redeemed for cash instead for an amount equal to (i) the Fair Market Value of one Share, minus (ii) the then effective Warrant Price. In connection with such Cashless Exercise, Holder shall be deemed to have restated each of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of the Warrant as of the date thereof and the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of the number of Shares (or such other securities) issued upon exercise and, to the extent applicable, the amount of cash to be paid in respect of redeemed Excess Exercise Shares. In the event of a Cash/Public Acquisition where the Fair Market Value of one Share would be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such Cash/Public Acquisition, then, contingent upon the consummation of such Cash/Public Acquisition, this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Cash/Public Acquisition. The Company shall not effect any Cash/Public Acquisition unless the material definitive agreement governing such transaction shall provide for the redemption of any Excess Exercise Shares as set forth in this Section 1.6(b).

(c)    Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than a Cash/Public Acquisition, the acquiring, surviving or successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the same securities and/or other property as would have been paid for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Acquisition, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant, and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to ensure that the provisions of this



Warrant shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to any securities and/or other property thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 1.6(c) shall similarly apply to successive Acquisitions. The Company shall not effect any such Acquisition unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such Acquisition shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such securities and/or other property that, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 1.6(c), the Holder shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to give effect to the exercise rights set forth in Section 1 (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.7) instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 1.6(c) with respect to this Warrant.

(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company, a Cash/Public Acquisition, or any other transaction, such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such offering or transaction, as applicable, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

(e)    As used in this Warrant, “Marketable Securities” means securities meeting all of the following requirements: (i) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Act and the Exchange Act; (ii) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by Holder in connection with the Acquisition were Holder to exercise this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or on another United States national or regional securities exchange, and (iii) following the closing of such Acquisition, Holder would not be restricted from publicly re-selling all of the issuer’s shares and/or other securities that would be received by Holder in such Acquisition were Holder to exercise or convert this Warrant in full on or prior to the closing of such Acquisition, except to the extent that any such restriction (x) arises solely under federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations, and (y) does not extend beyond six (6) months from the issuance of this Warrant, if exercised pursuant to Cashless Exercise (or six (6) months beyond the exercise of this Warrant, if exercised for cash).

1.7    Limitations on Exercise.

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant for Shares, Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant for Shares, and any such exercise shall be null and void ab initio and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect or immediately prior to such exercise of the Warrant for Shares, Holder (x) together with the other Attribution Parties (as defined below), collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise of this Warrant for Shares or (y) would, for purposes of Section 871(h)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), be deemed to own, directly indirectly or by attribution



(in accordance with the attribution rules set forth in Sections 871(h)(3)(C) and 881(c) of the Code, beneficially or of record, in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise of this Warrant for Shares (the “Maximum Percentage”). For purposes of clause (x) of the definition of Maximum Percentage, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes, convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of the Attribution Parties subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1.7. For purposes of clause (x) above, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives an Notice of Exercise from Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Notice of Exercise would otherwise cause such Holder’s beneficial or deemed ownership under clause (x) or clause (y) above, as determined pursuant to this Section 1.7, to exceed the Maximum Percentage, such Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered pursuant to such Notice of Exercise. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage of such Holder to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in the notice; provided that (i) any increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to Holder and its Attribution Parties, and not to any other holder of a warrant. As used herein, “Attribution Parties” means, collectively, the following Persons and entities: (i) any investment vehicle, including any funds, feeder funds or managed accounts, currently, or from time to time after the date hereof, directly or indirectly managed or advised by Holder’s investment manager or any of its affiliates or principals, (ii) any direct or indirect affiliates of Holder or any of the foregoing, (iii) any Person acting or who would be deemed to be acting as a Section 13(d) group together with Holder and any of the foregoing and (iv) any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of the Common Stock would be aggregated with Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act.




(b)    Any portion of an exercise that would result in the issuance of Shares in excess of the Maximum Percentage (“Excess Exercise Shares”) shall be cancelled and treated as null and void ab initio.

(c)    In any case in which the exercise of this Warrant for Shares would result in Holder, together with the other Attribution Parties, collectively beneficially owning shares of Common Stock in excess of the Maximum Percentage, the Company shall issue to Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would result in Holder beneficially owning, together with the other Attribution Parties, as approximately equal to the Maximum Percentage as possible without the Company issuing any fractional shares of Common Stock.

(d)    In furtherance of this Section 1.7, upon written request of Holder, the Company shall within one (1) business day confirm in writing the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding.

(e)    The provisions of this Section 1.7 shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this section to the extent necessary or desirable to properly give effect to the Maximum Percentage.

(f)    For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable to Holder pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by Holder for any purpose, including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act.

(g)    The limitations contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of the Warrant.

SECTION 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.

2.1    Adjustments to Warrant Price. The Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment (without duplication) upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a)    The issuance of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to all holders of Common Stock, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater or smaller number of shares, in which event the Warrant Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

N0
W1 = W0 x --------
N1


where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on (i) the Ex-
Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date in the case
of a subdivision, combination or reclassification;




W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on (i) the
Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date in the
case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification;

N0 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Open of Business on (i) the Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or
(ii) the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification;
and
N1 =    the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) in the case of a dividend or
distribution, the sum of the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the
Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution plus the total
number of shares issued pursuant to such dividend or distribution or (ii) in the
case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification, the number of shares
outstanding immediately after such subdivision, combination or reclassification.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on (i) the Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If any dividend or distribution or subdivision, combination or reclassification of the type described in this Section 2.1(a) is declared or announced but not so paid or made, the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted to the Warrant Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution or subdivision, combination or reclassification had not been declared or announced, as the case may be.

(b)    The issuance to all holders of Common Stock of shares of Common Stock (or Derivative Securities) at an Effective Consideration per share that is below the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the announcement of such issuance, in which event the Warrant Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

N0 + C/M
W1 = W0 x -------------
N0 + NA

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date     
for such issuance;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-
Date for such issuance;

N0 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such issuance;

NA =    the number of shares of Common Stock issued and, if applicable, issuable upon
exercise, conversion or exchange of any Derivative Securities assuming full
physical settlement;




C =    the total consideration receivable by the Company on issuance and, if applicable,
the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Derivative Securities assuming full
physical settlement; and

M =    the Closing Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the date of the announcement of such issuance.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such issuance. In the event that an issuance of such Common Stock or Derivative Securities is announced but such Common Stock or Derivative Securities are not so issued, the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted to be the Warrant Price that would then be in effect if the Ex-Date for such issuance had not occurred. If the application of this Section 2.1(b) to any issuance would result in an increase in the Warrant Price, no adjustment shall be made for such issuance under this Section 2.1(b).

(c)    The issuance of shares of Common Stock (or Derivative Securities) at an Effective Consideration that is less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the date of such issuance, in which event the Warrant Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

N0 + C/W0
W1 = W0 x -------------
N0 + NA

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the date of
such issuance;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the date
of such issuance;

N0 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Open of Business on the date of such issuance;

NA =    the number of shares of Common Stock issued and, if applicable, issuable upon
exercise, conversion or exchange of any Derivative Securities assuming full     
physical settlement; and

C =    the total consideration receivable by the Company on issuance and, if applicable,
the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Derivative Securities assuming full
physical settlement.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the date of such issuance. In the event that an issuance of such Common Stock or Derivative Securities is announced but such Common Stock or Derivative Securities are not so issued, the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted to be the Warrant Price that would then be in effect if the issuance had not



occurred. If the application of this Section 2.1(c) to any issuance would result in an increase in the Warrant Price, no adjustment shall be made for such issuance under this Section 2.1(c).

(d)    The issuance as a dividend or distribution to all holders of Common Stock of shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock (other than Common Stock) or other securities, cash or other property (excluding any dividend or distribution covered by Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b)), in which event the Warrant Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:
M - FMV
W1 = W0 x ---------------
     M
where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date
for such dividend or distribution;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-
Date for such dividend or distribution;

M =    the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution; and

FMV =    the Fair Market Value of the portion of such dividend or distribution applicable to
one share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-
Date for such dividend or distribution.

Such decrease shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution. In the event that such dividend or distribution is declared or announced but not so paid or made, the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted to be the Warrant Price which would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared or announced.

However, if the transaction that gives rise to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.1(d) is one pursuant to which the payment of a dividend or other distribution on Common Stock consists of shares of capital stock of, or similar equity interests in, a subsidiary of the Company or other business unit of the Company (i.e., a spin-off) that are, or, when issued, will be, traded or quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or any other national or regional securities exchange or market, then the Warrant Price will instead be adjusted based on the following formula:

M0
W1 = W0 x --------------
M0 + FMV0

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date
for such dividend or distribution;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on



the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;

FMV0 =    the average of the Fair Market Values of the capital stock or similar equity
interests distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of
Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on, and
including, the third Trading Day following the effective date of such spin-off (the
“Valuation Period”); and

M0 =    the average of the Fair Market Values of the Common Stock over the Valuation
Period for such dividend or distribution.

Such decrease shall be made immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period for such dividend or distribution, but shall be given effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution; provided that in respect of any exercise during the Valuation Period, references to 10 consecutive Trading Days in the definition of Valuation Period shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed commencing on, and including, the third Trading Day following the effective date of such spin-off and the exercise date in determining the applicable Warrant Price. In the event that such dividend or distribution is declared or announced but not so paid or made, the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted to be the Warrant Price which would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared or announced.

(e)    The payment in respect of any tender offer or exchange offer by the Company for Common Stock, where the cash and fair value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately following the expiration date of the tender or exchange offer (the “Offer Expiration Date”), in which event the Warrant Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

    N0 x P
W1 = W0 x ---------------
A + (P x N1)

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Offer
Expiration Date;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the
Offer Expiration Date;

N0 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
expiration of the tender or exchange offer (prior to giving effect to the purchase or
exchange of shares);

N1 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the
expiration of the tender or exchange offer (after giving effect to the purchase or
exchange of shares);




A =    the aggregate cash and fair value of any other consideration payable for shares of
Common Stock purchased in such tender offer or exchange offer; and

P =    the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately following the Offer Expiration Date.

An adjustment, if any, to the Warrant Price pursuant to this clause (e) shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Offer Expiration Date. In the event that the Company or a subsidiary of the Company is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company or such subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted to be the Warrant Price which would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made. If the application of this Section 2.1(e) to any tender offer or exchange offer would result in an increase in the Warrant Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this Section 2.1(e).

(f)    If any single action would require adjustment of the Warrant Price pursuant to more than one subsection of this Section 2.1, only one adjustment shall be made and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest, relative to the rights and interests of the registered holders of the Warrants then outstanding, absolute value.

(g)    The Company may from time to time, to the extent permitted by law and subject to applicable rules of the principal U.S. national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, decrease the Warrant Price and/or increase the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant by any amount for any period of at least 20 days. In that case, the Company shall give Holder at least 15 days’ prior notice of such increase or decrease, and such notice shall state the decreased Warrant Price and/or increased number of shares for which the Warrant may be exercised and the period during which the decrease and/or increase will be in effect. The Company may make such decreases in the Warrant Price and/or increases in the number of Shares for which the Warrant may be exercised, in addition to those set forth in this Section 2.1, as the Company’s Board of Directors deems advisable, including to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of the Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, any increase to the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or decrease to the Warrant Price made pursuant to this Section 2.1(g) shall not alter the application of the restrictions on exercise set forth in Section 1.7, which shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(h)    Notwithstanding this Section 2.1 or any other provision of this Warrant, if a Warrant Price adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Date, and Holder exercised its Warrants on or after such Ex-Date and on or prior to the related Record Date would be treated as the record holder of the Common Stock on or prior to the Record Date, then, notwithstanding the Warrant Price adjustment provisions in this Section 2.1, the Warrant Price adjustment relating to such Ex-Date will not be made. Instead, Holder will be treated as if such holder were the record owner of shares of Common Stock on an un-adjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.




(i)    Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to the Warrant Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Price under Section 2.1, the following shall be applicable:

(1)    Issuance of Options. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, in any manner, grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Derivative Securities, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Options (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Warrant Price under Section 2.1), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 2.1) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of all such Options, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z) in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such Options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(i)(3), no further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock or of Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

(2)    Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company shall, at any time or from
time to time after the Issue Date, in any manner, grant or sell (whether directly or by
assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right
to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, then
the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or
exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to
have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Convertible Securities (and
thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the number of
Shares pursuant to Section 2.1), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received
for purposes of Section 2.1) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the
Company as consideration for the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y)
the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the
Company upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the
total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or
exchange of all such Convertible Securities. Except as otherwise provided in Section
2.1(i)(3), no further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual
issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities



or by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to
purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the number of Shares
have been made pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2.1(i).

(3)    Change in Terms of Derivative Securities. Upon any change in any of (A) the
total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or
sale of any Derivative Securities referred to in Section 2.1(i)(1) or Section 2.1(i)(2)
hereof, (B) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to
the Company upon the exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion or
exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2.1(i)(1) or Section 2.1(i)(2)
hereof, (C) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2.1(i)(1) or
Section 2.1(i)(2) hereof are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D)
the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any
Options referred to in Section 2.1(i)(1) hereof or any Convertible Securities referred to in
Section 2.1(i)(2) hereof (in each case, other than in connection with any issuance or sale
of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of this Warrant), then
(whether or not the original issuance or sale of such Derivative Securities resulted in an
adjustment to the Warrant Price pursuant to this Section 2.1) the Warrant Price at the time
of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the Warrant Price which
would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.1 had
such Derivative Securities still outstanding provided for such changed consideration,
conversion rate, or maximum number of shares, as the case may be, at the time initially
granted, issued, or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment, the
Warrant Price is decreased.

(4)    Treatment of Expired or Terminated Derivative Securities. Upon the
expiration or termination of any unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or any
unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) for which any
adjustment (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) was made
pursuant to this Section 2.1 (including without limitation upon the redemption or
purchase for consideration of all or any portion of such Option or Convertible Security by
the Company), the Warrant Price shall forthwith be changed pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 2.1 to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at the time of such
expiration or termination had such unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or
unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof), to the extent
outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.

(5)    Calculation of Consideration Received. If the Company shall, at any time or
from time to time after the Issue Date, issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold in
accordance with Section 2.1(i), any shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible
Securities: (A) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net
amount received by the Company therefor; (B) for consideration other than cash, the
amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be the Fair
Market Value of such consideration; (C) for no specifically allocated consideration in
connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of the Company, together
comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be
deemed to have been issued without consideration; or (D) to the owners of the non-
surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving



corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the Fair Market
Value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is
attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities, as the
case may be, issued to such owners. The Board of Directors of the Company shall
determine the net amount of any cash consideration in its reasonable good faith judgment
and the Fair Market Value of any consideration other than cash shall be determined in
accordance with the definition thereof.

(6)    Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at
any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the
Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof or the transfer of such shares among the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 2.1.

(7)    Other Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.1(i), if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, make or declare, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or any other distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock), cash, or other property, then, and in each such event, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, in addition to the number of Shares receivable thereupon, the kind and amount of securities of the Company, cash, or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrant been exercised or converted in full into Shares on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the exercise date, retained such securities, cash, or other property receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 2.1 with respect to the rights of the Holder.

(8)    Existing Derivative Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, any changes to the terms of any Derivative Securities outstanding on or prior to the date hereof shall also be subject to the foregoing clause (3) as if such prior-existing Derivative Securities were issued immediately after this Warrant (i.e., resulting in appropriate adjustments, as applicable, to the Warrant Price in accordance with this Section 2.1). Without limiting the foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed that for purposes of calculating the initial number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company and Holder agreed to only take into account out-of-the-money stock options to purchase one million shares of Common Stock (the remaining, disregarded out-of-the-money stock options outstanding on the Issue Date, the “Disregarded Options”). For the avoidance of doubt, upon any amendments to the terms of the Disregarded Options that would result in either (x) the strike price thereof with respect to one share of Common Stock being less than the then current Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock or (y) the strike price thereof with respect to one share of Common Stock being less than the Warrant Price, (I) the Warrant Price at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.1 as if such Disregarded Options had been issued at a zero strike immediately after this Warrant



(i.e., resulting in appropriate adjustments, as applicable, to the Warrant Price in accordance with this Section 2.1) and (II) the Warrant Price shall be further readjusted to give incremental effect to the changes called for by this Section 2.1 on account of the actual amendment itself (together with any other amendments to the terms of such options from and after the Issue Date) (i.e., at that time, Holder shall benefit from the incremental adjustments attributable to all of the amendments to the terms of all of the options outstanding on the Issue Date, including the Disregarded Options), and any amendments thereafter will continue to be subject to the terms of this Section 2.1, including clause (3) and this clause (8).

2.2    Adjustments to Number of Warrants. Concurrently with any adjustment to the
Warrant Price under Section 2.1, the number of Shares will be adjusted to be equal to the number of Shares immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and (ii) the denominator of which is the Warrant Price in effect immediately following such adjustment.

2.3    Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event
whereby all of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that Holder would have received had the Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.3 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations substitutions, replacements or other similar events.

2.4    Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2.1 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues, or sells any shares of Common Stock, Options, Convertible Securities, or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities, or other property, in each case, pro rata to the record holders of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder shall be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder would have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Shares acquirable upon complete exercise or conversion of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance, or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue, or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holder shall not be entitled to the Purchase Rights granted herein with respect to any issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of this Warrant.

2.5    Successor upon Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets.




(a)    The Company may not consolidate or merge with, or sell, lease, convey or otherwise transfer in one transaction or a series of related transactions all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries to, any other Person (a “Fundamental Change”) unless the Company is the surviving corporation or the Company requires, as a necessary condition to the consummation of such transaction, that:

(1)    the successor to the Company assumes all of the Company’s
obligations under this Warrant; and

(2)    the successor to the Company provides written notice of such assumption to Holder.

(b)    In case of any such Fundamental Change, such successor entity shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the Company.

2.6    No Fractional Share. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional Share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (i) the Fair Market Value of a full Share, less (ii) the then-effective Warrant Price.

2.7    Notice/Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the happening of any event requiring an adjustment of the Warrant Price, Common Stock and/or number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company, at the Company’s expense, shall notify Holder in writing within a reasonable time setting forth the adjustments to the Warrant Price, class and/or number of Shares and facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request from Holder, furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer, including computations of such adjustment and the Warrant Price, class and number of Shares in effect upon the date of such adjustment.

2.8    No Impairment. The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or other governing or organizational documents, or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment.

2.9    Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Warrant Price shall not be less than zero as a result of any adjustment hereunder, action, event or otherwise.

Holder also represents that it has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring this Warrant or the Shares.

4.2    Disclosure of Information. Holder is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has received or has had full access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of this Warrant and its underlying securities. Holder further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the

4.3    Investment Experience. Holder understands that the purchase of this Warrant and its underlying securities involves substantial risk. Holder has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that Holder can bear the economic risk of such Holder’s investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and/or has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and duration that enables Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons.

4.5    The Act. Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof have not been registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein.

(b)    Automatic Cashless Exercise upon Expiration. In the event that, immediately prior to the expiration of the Warrant, the Fair Market Value of one Share (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) is greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Shares (or such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised (or such lesser amount for which it may be exercised in accordance with limitations on exercise set forth in Section 1.7), and the Company shall, within a reasonable time, deliver a certificate representing the Shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to Holder.




5.2    Legends. The Shares shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the

ACT, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED.

The Company shall not require Holder to provide an opinion of counsel if the transfer is to any Affiliate of Holder; provided, that any such transferee is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act. Additionally, the Company shall also not require an opinion of counsel if there is no material question as to the availability of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.

5.4    Transfer Procedure. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 and upon providing
the Company with written notice, Holder may transfer all or part of this Warrant or the Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant (or the securities issued upon conversion of the Shares, if any) to any Affiliate or other transferee; provided, however, in connection with any such transfer, Holder will give the Company notice of the portion of the Warrant and/or Shares (and/or securities issued upon conversion of the Shares, if any) being transferred with the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee and Holder will surrender this Warrant to the Company for reissuance to the transferee(s) (and Holder if applicable) and the transferee shall agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Warrant as a precondition to any such transfer.

5.13    Equitable Relief. Each of the Company and the Holder acknowledges that a
breach or threatened breach by the Company of any of its obligations under this Warrant would give rise to irreparable harm to the Holder for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and hereby agree that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by the Company of any such obligations, the Holder shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction.

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, Lynrock Lake Master Fund LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (together with any successor or permitted assignee or transferee of this Warrant, “Holder”) is entitled to receive, upon the whole or partial exercise hereof, a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of one share of common stock of the above named company (the “Company” and such common stock, the “Common Stock”) over the above-stated Warrant Price in respect of each share to which this Warrant notionally applies (the “Shares”), all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant. The term “Warrant” as used herein shall include this Warrant and any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein.
SECTION 1. EXERCISE.

1.1    Method of Exercise. Holder may at any time and from time to time
exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company, in any of the manners permitted by Section 5.5, the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1, whereupon, on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Holder shall be entitled to receive in respect of each Share notionally subject to such exercise, the excess of the Fair Market Value of one Share, as of the exercise date, over the then current Warrant Price (the “Cash Settlement Amount”). Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, in no event shall Holder be required to surrender or deliver an ink-signed paper copy of this Warrant or the Notice of Exercise in connection with its exercise hereof or of any rights hereunder, nor shall Holder be required to surrender or deliver a paper or other physical copy of this Warrant or a paper or other physical copy of the Notice of Exercise in connection with any exercise hereof (in each case, delivery by electronic mail being sufficient).

OTC Bulletin Board or such similar exchange or association, the closing price or last sale price of a share or unit of such security thereon reported for the Business Day immediately prior to the applicable date of determination; or (c) if neither of the foregoing applies, as jointly determined by the board of directors of the Company and Holder; provided, that if the parties are unable to reach agreement within a reasonable period of time, then such fair market value determination shall be determined by a nationally recognized investment banking, accounting or valuation firm that is not affiliated with the Company or Holder, in which case, the determination of such firm shall be final and conclusive (and the fees and expenses of such valuation firm shall be borne by the Company).

1.4    Settlement; Delivery of New Warrant.

(a)    Within three (3 Business Days after Holder exercises this Warrant in the
manner set forth in Section 1.1 above, the Company shall pay the aggregate Cash Settlement Amount to, or at the direction of, Holder.

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if payment of all or any portion of the
Cash Settlement Amount in accordance with the foregoing clause (a) would result in the Company having less than $100.0 million in Available Cash (as hereinafter defined) immediately after making such payment, the Company shall have the right to defer the payment of the portion of the Cash Settlement Amount that would cause the Company to have less than $100.0 million in Available Cash. Any such deferred payments shall accrue interest continuously at an annualized rate equal to 6.0%, compounded monthly (such deferred payments and the unpaid interest accrued thereon, the “Deferred Payment Obligations”). The Company shall be obligated to make payments in respect of any outstanding Deferred Payment Obligations monthly to the extent that doing so would not result in the Company having less than $100.0 million in Available Cash after giving effect to such monthly payment. “Available Cash” as used herein shall mean the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents (as defined in that certain Indenture, dated June 3, 2024, by and between the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto from time to time and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee and Collateral Agent, governing those certain First Lien Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Indenture”)) included on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) as of such time. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s obligations to make payments pursuant to this Section 1.4(b) shall survive the expiration and termination of this Warrant until fully performed.

(c)    If this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, the
Company shall deliver to Holder a new warrant of like tenor representing the remaining Shares notionally underlying this Warrant.

1.5    Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation, the Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.




1.6    Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company.

(a)    Acquisition. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any
transaction or series of related transactions involving: (i) the sale, lease, exclusive license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets (including intellectual property) of the Company; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another person or entity (other than a merger or consolidation effected exclusively to change the Company’s domicile), or any other corporate reorganization or recapitalization, in which the stockholders of the Company in their capacity as such immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, reorganization, or recapitalization, own less than a majority of the Company’s (or the surviving or successor entity’s) outstanding voting power immediately after such merger, consolidation, reorganization, or recapitalization; (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; or (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another person or group of related persons (as defined in Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act) whereby such other person or group acquires 50% or more of the Company’s then-outstanding total voting power.

(b)    Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition. In the event of an Acquisition in
which the consideration to be received by the Company’s stockholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a “Cash/Public Acquisition”), and the Fair Market Value of one Share would be greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date immediately prior to such Cash/Public Acquisition, and Holder has not exercised this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.1 above as to all Shares, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.1 above as to all notional underlying Shares effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of a Cash/Public Acquisition. In connection with such automatic exercise, Holder shall be deemed to have restated each of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of the Warrant as of the date thereof and the Company shall promptly notify the Holder the Cash Settlement Amount to be paid in respect of such Shares. Regardless of whether the Fair Market Value of one Share exceeds the Warrant Price then in effect, immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of a Cash/Public Acquisition, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Holder all of the outstanding Deferred Payment Obligations. In the event of a Cash/Public Acquisition where the Fair Market Value of one Share would be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such Cash/Public Acquisition, then, contingent upon the consummation of such Cash/Public Acquisition, this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Cash/Public Acquisition. The Company shall not effect any Cash/Public Acquisition unless the material definitive agreement governing such transaction shall provide for payment of the Cash Settlement Amount for all of the Shares as set forth in this Section 1.6(b) and the payment of any and all outstanding Deferred Payment Obligations in full.

(c)    Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than a Cash/Public Acquisition,
the acquiring, surviving or successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and the Cash Settlement Amount for this Warrant shall thereafter be calculated based on the same



securities and/or other property as would have been paid for the Shares originally notionally underlying the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Acquisition, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant, and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to ensure that the provisions of this Warrant shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to any securities and/or other property thereafter notionally underlying this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 1.6(c) shall similarly apply to successive Acquisitions. The Company shall not effect any such Acquisition unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such Acquisition shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Holder the Cash Settlement Amount that, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, and of any Deferred Payment Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 1.6(c), the Holder shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to give effect to the exercise rights set forth in Section 1 instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 1.6(c) with respect to this Warrant.

(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion
of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company, a Cash/Public Acquisition, or any other transaction, such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such offering or transaction, as applicable, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

(e)    As used in this Warrant, “Marketable Securities” means securities
meeting all of the following requirements: (i) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Act and the Exchange Act; (ii) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer to be received by holders of Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition is then traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or on another United States national or regional securities exchange, and (iii) following the closing of such Acquisition, former holders of Common Stock would not be restricted from publicly re-selling all of the issuer’s shares and/or other securities that would be received thereby in such Acquisition, except to the extent that any such restriction arises solely under federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations.
1.7    [intentionally omitted].

SECTION 2.    ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.

2.1    Adjustments to Warrant Price. The Warrant Price shall be subject to
adjustment (without duplication) upon the occurrence of any of the following events:






(a)    The issuance of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to all holders
of Common Stock, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater or smaller number of shares, in which event the Warrant Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
N0
W1 = W0 x --------
N1

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on (i)
the Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective
date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on
(i) the Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification;

N0 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
the Open of Business on (i) the Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification; and

N1 =    the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) in the case of a
dividend or distribution, the sum of the number of shares outstanding
immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such
dividend or distribution plus the total number of shares issued pursuant to
such dividend or distribution or (ii) in the case of a subdivision,
combination or reclassification, the number of shares outstanding
immediately after such subdivision, combination or reclassification.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on (i) the
Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date in the case of a
subdivision, combination or reclassification. If any dividend or distribution or
subdivision, combination or reclassification of the type described in this Section 2.1(a) is
declared or announced but not so paid or made, the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted
to the Warrant Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution or
subdivision, combination or reclassification had not been declared or announced, as the
case may be.

(b)    The issuance to all holders of Common Stock of shares of Common Stock
(or Derivative Securities) at an Effective Consideration per share that is below the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the announcement of such issuance, in which event the Warrant Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:





N0 + C/M
W1 = W0 x -------------
N0 + NA

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the
Ex-Date for such issuance;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on
the Ex-Date for such issuance;

N0 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such issuance;

NA =    the number of shares of Common Stock issued and, if applicable, issuable
upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any Derivative Securities
assuming full physical settlement;

C =    the total consideration receivable by the Company on issuance and, if
applicable, the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Derivative
Securities assuming full physical settlement; and

M =    the Closing Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the date of the announcement of such issuance.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the
Ex-Date for such issuance. In the event that an issuance of such Common Stock or
Derivative Securities is announced but such Common Stock or Derivative Securities are
not so issued, the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted to be the Warrant Price that
would then be in effect if the Ex-Date for such issuance had not occurred. If the
application of this Section 2.1(b) to any issuance would result in an increase in the
Warrant Price, no adjustment shall be made for such issuance under this Section 2.1(b).

(c)    The issuance of shares of Common Stock (or Derivative Securities) at an
Effective Consideration that is less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the date of such issuance, in which event the Warrant Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

N0 + C/W0
W1 = W0 x -------------
N0 + NA

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the
date of such issuance;




W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on
the date of such issuance;

N0 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
the Open of Business on the date of such issuance;

NA =    the number of shares of Common Stock issued and, if applicable, issuable
upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any Derivative Securities
assuming full physical settlement; and

C =    the total consideration receivable by the Company on issuance and, if
applicable, the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Derivative
Securities assuming full physical settlement.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the
date of such issuance. In the event that an issuance of such Common Stock or Derivative
Securities is announced but such Common Stock or Derivative Securities are not so
issued, the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted to be the Warrant Price that would then
be in effect if the issuance had not occurred. If the application of this Section 2.1(c) to
any issuance would result in an increase in the Warrant Price, no adjustment shall be
made for such issuance under this Section 2.1(c).

(d)    The issuance as a dividend or distribution to all holders of Common Stock
of shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock (other than Common Stock) or other securities, cash or other property (excluding any dividend or distribution covered by Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b)), in which event the Warrant Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

M - FMV
W1 = W0 x ---------------
M

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the
Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on
the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;

M =    the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution; and

FMV =    the Fair Market Value of the portion of such dividend or distribution
applicable to one share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution.

Such decrease shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-



Date for such dividend or distribution. In the event that such dividend or distribution is
declared or announced but not so paid or made, the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted
to be the Warrant Price which would then be in effect if such distribution had not been
declared or announced.

However, if the transaction that gives rise to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.1(d)
is one pursuant to which the payment of a dividend or other distribution on Common
Stock consists of shares of capital stock of, or similar equity interests in, a subsidiary of
the Company or other business unit of the Company (i.e., a spin-off) that are, or, when
issued, will be, traded or quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or any other national
or regional securities exchange or market, then the Warrant Price will instead be adjusted
based on the following formula:

M0
W1 = W0 x --------------
M0 + FMV0

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the
Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on
the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;

FMV0 =    the average of the Fair Market Values of the capital stock or similar equity
interests distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share
of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on,
and including, the third Trading Day following the effective date of such
spin-off (the “Valuation Period”); and

M0 =    the average of the Fair Market Values of the Common Stock over the
Valuation Period for such dividend or distribution.

Such decrease shall be made immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading
Day of the Valuation Period for such dividend or distribution, but shall be given effect
immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;
provided that in respect of any exercise during the Valuation Period, references to 10
consecutive Trading Days in the definition of Valuation Period shall be deemed replaced
with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed commencing on, and including,
the third Trading Day following the effective date of such spin-off and the exercise date
in determining the applicable Warrant Price. In the event that such dividend or
distribution is declared or announced but not so paid or made, the Warrant Price shall
again be adjusted to be the Warrant Price which would then be in effect if such
distribution had not been declared or announced.






(e)    The payment in respect of any tender offer or exchange offer by the
Company for Common Stock, where the cash and fair value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately following the expiration date of the tender or exchange offer (the “Offer Expiration Date”), in which event the Warrant Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

N0 x P
W1 = W0 x ---------------
A + (P x N1)

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the
Offer Expiration Date;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on
the Offer Expiration Date;

N0 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
the expiration of the tender or exchange offer (prior to giving effect to the
purchase or exchange of shares);

N1 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the
expiration of the tender or exchange offer (after giving effect to the
purchase or exchange of shares);

A =    the aggregate cash and fair value of any other consideration payable for
shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender offer or exchange offer; and

P =    the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately following the Offer Expiration Date.

An adjustment, if any, to the Warrant Price pursuant to this clause (e) shall become
effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Offer Expiration Date. In the
event that the Company or a subsidiary of the Company is obligated to purchase shares of
Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company or
such subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such
purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Warrant Price shall again be
adjusted to be the Warrant Price which would then be in effect if such tender offer or
exchange offer had not been made. If the application of this Section 2.1(e) to any tender
offer or exchange offer would result in an increase in the Warrant Price, no adjustment
shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this Section 2.1(e).







(f)    If any single action would require adjustment of the Warrant Price
pursuant to more than one subsection of this Section 2.1, only one adjustment shall be made and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest, relative to the rights and interests of the registered holders of the Warrants then outstanding, absolute value.

(g)    The Company may from time to time, to the extent permitted by law and
subject to applicable rules of the principal U.S. national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, decrease the Warrant Price and/or increase the number of Shares notionally underlying this Warrant by any amount for any period of at least 20 days. In that case, the Company shall give Holder at least 15 days’ prior notice of such increase or decrease, and such notice shall state the decreased Warrant Price and/or increased number of shares for which the Warrant may be exercised and the period during which the decrease and/or increase will be in effect. The Company may make such decreases in the Warrant Price and/or increases in the number of Shares for which the Warrant may be exercised, in addition to those set forth in this Section 2.1, as the Company’s Board of Directors deems advisable, including to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of the Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

(h)    [intentionally omitted].

(i)    Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to the Warrant Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Price under Section 2.1, the following shall be applicable:
(1)    Issuance of Options. If the Company shall, at any time or
from time to time after the Issue Date, in any manner, grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Derivative Securities, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Options (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Warrant Price under Section 2.1), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 2.1) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of all such Options, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z) in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such Options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(i)(3), no further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon



the actual issuance of Common Stock or of Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

(2)    Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company shall, at    
any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, in any manner, grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Convertible Securities (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the number of notional Shares pursuant to Section 2.1), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 2.1) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(i)(3), no further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the number of notional Shares have been made pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2.1(i).

(3)    Change in Terms of Derivative Securities. Upon any
change in any of (A) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of any Derivative Securities referred to in Section 2.1(i)(1) or Section 2.1(i)(2) hereof, (B) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2.1(i)(1) or Section 2.1(i)(2) hereof, (C) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2.1(i)(1) or Section 2.1(i)(2) hereof are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any Options referred to in Section 2.1(i)(1) hereof or any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2.1(i)(2) hereof, then (whether or not the original issuance or sale of such Derivative Securities resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Price pursuant to this Section 2.1) the Warrant Price at the time of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.1 had such Derivative Securities still outstanding provided for such changed consideration, conversion rate, or maximum number of shares, as the case may be,



at the time initially granted, issued, or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment, the Warrant Price is decreased.

(4)    Treatment of Expired or Terminated Derivative Securities.
Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or any unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) for which any adjustment (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) was made pursuant to this Section 2.1 (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of all or any portion of such Option or Convertible Security by the Company), the Warrant Price shall forthwith be changed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.1 to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof), to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.

(5)    Calculation of Consideration Received. If the Company    
shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold in accordance with Section 2.1(i), any shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities: (A) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor; (B) for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be the Fair Market Value of such consideration; (C) for no specifically allocated consideration in connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration; or (D) to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the Fair Market Value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued to such owners. The Board of Directors of the Company shall determine the net amount of any cash consideration in its reasonable good faith judgment and the Fair Market Value of any consideration other than cash shall be determined in accordance with the definition thereof.

(6)    Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof or the transfer of such shares among the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 2.1.

(7)    Other Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the
provisions of this Section 2.1(i), if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, make or declare, or fix a record date for the



determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or any other distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock), cash, or other property, then, and in each such event, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, in addition to the amount of cash receivable thereupon, the equivalent cash value of the kind and amount of securities of the Company, cash, or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrant been notionally exercised or notionally converted in full into Shares on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the exercise date, retained such notional securities, cash, or other property receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 2.1 with respect to the rights of the Holder.

(8)    Existing Derivative Securities. For the avoidance of doubt,
any changes to the terms of any Derivative Securities outstanding on or prior to the date hereof shall also be subject to the foregoing clause (3) as if such prior-existing Derivative Securities were issued immediately after this Warrant (i.e., resulting in appropriate adjustments, as applicable, to the Warrant Price in accordance with this Section 2.1). Without limiting the foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed that for purposes of calculating the initial number of Shares notionally underlying this Warrant, the Company and Holder agreed to only take into account out-of-the-money stock options to purchase one million shares of Common Stock (the remaining, disregarded out-of-the-money stock options outstanding on the Issue Date, the “Disregarded Options”). For the avoidance of doubt, upon any amendments to the terms of the Disregarded Options that would result in either (x) the strike price thereof with respect to one share of Common Stock being less than the then current Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock or (y) the strike price thereof with respect to one share of Common Stock being less than the Warrant Price, (I) the Warrant Price at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.1 as if such Disregarded Options had been issued at a zero strike immediately after this Warrant (i.e., resulting in appropriate adjustments, as applicable, to the Warrant Price in accordance with this Section 2.1) and (II) the Warrant Price shall be further readjusted to give incremental effect to the changes called for by this Section 2.1 on account of the actual amendment itself (together with any other amendments to the terms of such options from and after the Issue Date) (i.e., at that time, Holder shall benefit from the incremental adjustments attributable to all of the amendments to the terms of all of the options outstanding on the Issue Date, including the Disregarded Options), and any amendments thereafter will continue to be subject to the terms of this Section 2.1, including clause (3) and this clause (8).






2.2    Adjustments to Number of Warrants. Concurrently with any adjustment
to the Warrant Price under Section 2.1, the number of notional Shares will be adjusted to be equal to the number of notional Shares immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and (ii) the denominator of which is the Warrant Price in effect immediately following such adjustment.

2.3    Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any
event whereby all of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, the Cash Settlement Amount will be calculated based on the number, class and series of Company securities that would have been issued in respect of the Shares as a result of the consummation of such event, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.

accordance with the requirements of Section 1.1 (a “Cashless Exercise”), Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant, or portion hereof as to which this Warrant is being exercised. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable Shares as are computed using the following formula:

X = Y(A-B)/A
where:
X = the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder;

Y = the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being
exercised (inclusive of the Shares surrendered to the Company in payment
of the aggregate Warrant Price);

A = the Fair Market Value of one Share; and

B = the Warrant Price.

1.3    Fair Market Value. “Fair Market Value” shall mean: (a) with respect to the Common Stock or any other security that is then listed on a national stock exchange, the closing price or last sale price of such security reported for the business day immediately prior to the applicable date of determination; (b) with respect to the Common Stock or any other security that is not listed on a national stock exchange but is then quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. OTC Bulletin Board or such similar exchange or association, the closing price or last sale price of a share or unit of such security thereon reported for the business day immediately prior to the applicable date of determination; or (c) if neither of the foregoing applies, as jointly determined by the board of directors of the Company and Holder; provided, that if the parties are unable to reach agreement within a reasonable period of time, then such fair market value determination shall be determined by a nationally recognized investment banking, accounting or valuation firm that is not affiliated with the Company or Holder, in which case, the determination of such firm shall be final and conclusive (and the fees and expenses of such valuation firm shall be borne by the Company).

1.4    Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Within a reasonable time after Holder exercises this Warrant in the manner set forth in Section 1.1 or 1.2 above, the Company shall deliver to Holder a certificate representing the Shares issued to Holder upon such exercise and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Shares not so acquired.

1.5    Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation, the Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.

1.6    Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company.




(a)    Acquisition. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any transaction or series of related transactions involving: (i) the sale, lease, exclusive license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets (including intellectual property) of the Company; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another person or entity (other than a merger or consolidation effected exclusively to change the Company’s domicile), or any other corporate reorganization or recapitalization, in which the stockholders of the Company in their capacity as such immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, reorganization, or recapitalization, own less than a majority of the Company’s (or the surviving or successor entity’s) outstanding voting power immediately after such merger, consolidation, reorganization, or recapitalization; (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; or (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another person or group of related persons (as defined in Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act) whereby such other person or group acquires 50% or more of the Company’s then-outstanding total voting power.

(b)    Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition. In the event of an Acquisition in which the consideration to be received by the Company’s stockholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a “Cash/Public Acquisition”), and the Fair Market Value of one Share would be greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date immediately prior to such Cash/Public Acquisition, and Holder has not exercised this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.1 above as to all Shares, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be Cashless Exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Shares effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of a Cash/Public Acquisition; provided, however, that to the extent such exercise would violate the limitations on exercise set forth in Section 1.7, the Company must arrange for any Excess Exercise Shares (as defined herein) to be redeemed for cash instead for an amount equal to (i) the Fair Market Value of one Share, minus (ii) the then effective Warrant Price. In connection with such Cashless Exercise, Holder shall be deemed to have restated each of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of the Warrant as of the date thereof and the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of the number of Shares (or such other securities) issued upon exercise and, to the extent applicable, the amount of cash to be paid in respect of redeemed Excess Exercise Shares. In the event of a Cash/Public Acquisition where the Fair Market Value of one Share would be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such Cash/Public Acquisition, then, contingent upon the consummation of such Cash/Public Acquisition, this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Cash/Public Acquisition. The Company shall not effect any Cash/Public Acquisition unless the material definitive agreement governing such transaction shall provide for the redemption of any Excess Exercise Shares as set forth in this Section 1.6(b).

(c)    Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than a Cash/Public Acquisition, the acquiring, surviving or successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the same securities and/or other property as would have been paid for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Acquisition, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant, and, in such



case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to ensure that the provisions of this Warrant shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to any securities and/or other property thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 1.6(c) shall similarly apply to successive Acquisitions. The Company shall not effect any such Acquisition unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such Acquisition shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such securities and/or other property that, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 1.6(c), the Holder shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to give effect to the exercise rights set forth in Section 1 (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.7) instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 1.6(c) with respect to this Warrant.

(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company, a Cash/Public Acquisition, or any other transaction, such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such offering or transaction, as applicable, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

(e)    As used in this Warrant, “Marketable Securities” means securities meeting all of the following requirements: (i) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Act and the Exchange Act; (ii) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by Holder in connection with the Acquisition were Holder to exercise this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or on another United States national or regional securities exchange, and (iii) following the closing of such Acquisition, Holder would not be restricted from publicly re-selling all of the issuer’s shares and/or other securities that would be received by Holder in such Acquisition were Holder to exercise or convert this Warrant in full on or prior to the closing of such Acquisition, except to the extent that any such restriction (x) arises solely under federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations, and (y) does not extend beyond six (6) months from the issuance of this Warrant, if exercised pursuant to Cashless Exercise (or six (6) months beyond the exercise of this Warrant, if exercised for cash).

1.7    Limitations on Exercise.

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant for Shares, Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant for Shares, and any such exercise shall be null and void ab initio and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect or immediately prior to such exercise of the Warrant for Shares, Holder (x) together with the other Attribution Parties (as defined below), collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise of this



Warrant for Shares or (y) would, for purposes of Section 871(h)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), be deemed to own, directly indirectly or by attribution (in accordance with the attribution rules set forth in Sections 871(h)(3)(C) and 881(c) of the Code, beneficially or of record, in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise of this Warrant for Shares (the “Maximum Percentage”). For purposes of clause (x) of the definition of Maximum Percentage, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes, convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of the Attribution Parties subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1.7. For purposes of clause (x) above, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives an Notice of Exercise from Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Notice of Exercise would otherwise cause such Holder’s beneficial or deemed ownership under clause (x) or clause (y) above, as determined pursuant to this Section 1.7, to exceed the Maximum Percentage, such Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered pursuant to such Notice of Exercise. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage of such Holder to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in the notice; provided that (i) any increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to Holder and its Attribution Parties, and not to any other holder of a warrant. As used herein, “Attribution Parties” means, collectively, the following Persons and entities: (i) any investment vehicle, including any funds, feeder funds or managed accounts, currently, or from time to time after the date hereof, directly or indirectly managed or advised by Holder’s investment manager or any of its affiliates or principals, (ii) any direct or indirect affiliates of Holder or any of the foregoing, (iii) any Person acting or who would be deemed to be acting as a Section 13(d) group together with Holder and any of the foregoing and (iv) any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of the Common Stock would be aggregated with Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act.




(b)    Any portion of an exercise that would result in the issuance of Shares in excess of the Maximum Percentage (“Excess Exercise Shares”) shall be cancelled and treated as null and void ab initio.

(c)    In any case in which the exercise of this Warrant for Shares would result in Holder, together with the other Attribution Parties, collectively beneficially owning shares of Common Stock in excess of the Maximum Percentage, the Company shall issue to Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would result in Holder beneficially owning, together with the other Attribution Parties, as approximately equal to the Maximum Percentage as possible without the Company issuing any fractional shares of Common Stock.

(d)    In furtherance of this Section 1.7, upon written request of Holder, the Company shall within one (1) business day confirm in writing the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding.

(e)    The provisions of this Section 1.7 shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this section to the extent necessary or desirable to properly give effect to the Maximum Percentage.

(f)    For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable to Holder pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by Holder for any purpose, including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act.

(g)    The limitations contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of the Warrant.

SECTION 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.

2.1    Adjustments to Warrant Price. The Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment (without duplication) upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a)    The issuance of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to all holders of Common Stock, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater or smaller number of shares, in which event the Warrant Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

N0
W1 = W0 x --------
N1


where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on (i) the Ex-
Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date in the case
of a subdivision, combination or reclassification;




W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on (i) the
Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date in the
case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification;

N0 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Open of Business on (i) the Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or
(ii) the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification;
and
N1 =    the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) in the case of a dividend or
distribution, the sum of the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the
Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution plus the total
number of shares issued pursuant to such dividend or distribution or (ii) in the
case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification, the number of shares
outstanding immediately after such subdivision, combination or reclassification.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on (i) the Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If any dividend or distribution or subdivision, combination or reclassification of the type described in this Section 2.1(a) is declared or announced but not so paid or made, the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted to the Warrant Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution or subdivision, combination or reclassification had not been declared or announced, as the case may be.

(b)    The issuance to all holders of Common Stock of shares of Common Stock (or Derivative Securities) at an Effective Consideration per share that is below the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the announcement of such issuance, in which event the Warrant Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

N0 + C/M
W1 = W0 x -------------
N0 + NA

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date     
for such issuance;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-
Date for such issuance;

N0 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such issuance;

NA =    the number of shares of Common Stock issued and, if applicable, issuable upon
exercise, conversion or exchange of any Derivative Securities assuming full
physical settlement;




C =    the total consideration receivable by the Company on issuance and, if applicable,
the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Derivative Securities assuming full
physical settlement; and

M =    the Closing Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the date of the announcement of such issuance.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such issuance. In the event that an issuance of such Common Stock or Derivative Securities is announced but such Common Stock or Derivative Securities are not so issued, the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted to be the Warrant Price that would then be in effect if the Ex-Date for such issuance had not occurred. If the application of this Section 2.1(b) to any issuance would result in an increase in the Warrant Price, no adjustment shall be made for such issuance under this Section 2.1(b).

(c)    The issuance of shares of Common Stock (or Derivative Securities) at an Effective Consideration that is less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the date of such issuance, in which event the Warrant Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

N0 + C/W0
W1 = W0 x -------------
N0 + NA

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the date of
such issuance;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the date
of such issuance;

N0 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Open of Business on the date of such issuance;

NA =    the number of shares of Common Stock issued and, if applicable, issuable upon
exercise, conversion or exchange of any Derivative Securities assuming full     
physical settlement; and

C =    the total consideration receivable by the Company on issuance and, if applicable,
the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Derivative Securities assuming full
physical settlement.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the date of such issuance. In the event that an issuance of such Common Stock or Derivative Securities is announced but such Common Stock or Derivative Securities are not so issued, the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted to be the Warrant Price that would then be in effect if the issuance had not



occurred. If the application of this Section 2.1(c) to any issuance would result in an increase in the Warrant Price, no adjustment shall be made for such issuance under this Section 2.1(c).

(d)    The issuance as a dividend or distribution to all holders of Common Stock of shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock (other than Common Stock) or other securities, cash or other property (excluding any dividend or distribution covered by Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b)), in which event the Warrant Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:
M - FMV
W1 = W0 x ---------------
     M
where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date
for such dividend or distribution;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-
Date for such dividend or distribution;

M =    the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution; and

FMV =    the Fair Market Value of the portion of such dividend or distribution applicable to
one share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-
Date for such dividend or distribution.

Such decrease shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution. In the event that such dividend or distribution is declared or announced but not so paid or made, the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted to be the Warrant Price which would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared or announced.

However, if the transaction that gives rise to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.1(d) is one pursuant to which the payment of a dividend or other distribution on Common Stock consists of shares of capital stock of, or similar equity interests in, a subsidiary of the Company or other business unit of the Company (i.e., a spin-off) that are, or, when issued, will be, traded or quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or any other national or regional securities exchange or market, then the Warrant Price will instead be adjusted based on the following formula:

M0
W1 = W0 x --------------
M0 + FMV0

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date
for such dividend or distribution;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on



the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;

FMV0 =    the average of the Fair Market Values of the capital stock or similar equity
interests distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of
Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on, and
including, the third Trading Day following the effective date of such spin-off (the
“Valuation Period”); and

M0 =    the average of the Fair Market Values of the Common Stock over the Valuation
Period for such dividend or distribution.

Such decrease shall be made immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period for such dividend or distribution, but shall be given effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution; provided that in respect of any exercise during the Valuation Period, references to 10 consecutive Trading Days in the definition of Valuation Period shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed commencing on, and including, the third Trading Day following the effective date of such spin-off and the exercise date in determining the applicable Warrant Price. In the event that such dividend or distribution is declared or announced but not so paid or made, the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted to be the Warrant Price which would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared or announced.

(e)    The payment in respect of any tender offer or exchange offer by the Company for Common Stock, where the cash and fair value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately following the expiration date of the tender or exchange offer (the “Offer Expiration Date”), in which event the Warrant Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

    N0 x P
W1 = W0 x ---------------
A + (P x N1)

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Offer
Expiration Date;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the
Offer Expiration Date;

N0 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
expiration of the tender or exchange offer (prior to giving effect to the purchase or
exchange of shares);

N1 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the
expiration of the tender or exchange offer (after giving effect to the purchase or
exchange of shares);




A =    the aggregate cash and fair value of any other consideration payable for shares of
Common Stock purchased in such tender offer or exchange offer; and

P =    the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately following the Offer Expiration Date.

An adjustment, if any, to the Warrant Price pursuant to this clause (e) shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Offer Expiration Date. In the event that the Company or a subsidiary of the Company is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company or such subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted to be the Warrant Price which would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made. If the application of this Section 2.1(e) to any tender offer or exchange offer would result in an increase in the Warrant Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this Section 2.1(e).

(f)    If any single action would require adjustment of the Warrant Price pursuant to more than one subsection of this Section 2.1, only one adjustment shall be made and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest, relative to the rights and interests of the registered holders of the Warrants then outstanding, absolute value.

(g)    The Company may from time to time, to the extent permitted by law and subject to applicable rules of the principal U.S. national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, decrease the Warrant Price and/or increase the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant by any amount for any period of at least 20 days. In that case, the Company shall give Holder at least 15 days’ prior notice of such increase or decrease, and such notice shall state the decreased Warrant Price and/or increased number of shares for which the Warrant may be exercised and the period during which the decrease and/or increase will be in effect. The Company may make such decreases in the Warrant Price and/or increases in the number of Shares for which the Warrant may be exercised, in addition to those set forth in this Section 2.1, as the Company’s Board of Directors deems advisable, including to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of the Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, any increase to the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or decrease to the Warrant Price made pursuant to this Section 2.1(g) shall not alter the application of the restrictions on exercise set forth in Section 1.7, which shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(h)    Notwithstanding this Section 2.1 or any other provision of this Warrant, if a Warrant Price adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Date, and Holder exercised its Warrants on or after such Ex-Date and on or prior to the related Record Date would be treated as the record holder of the Common Stock on or prior to the Record Date, then, notwithstanding the Warrant Price adjustment provisions in this Section 2.1, the Warrant Price adjustment relating to such Ex-Date will not be made. Instead, Holder will be treated as if such holder were the record owner of shares of Common Stock on an un-adjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.




(i)    Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to the Warrant Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Price under Section 2.1, the following shall be applicable:

(1)    Issuance of Options. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, in any manner, grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Derivative Securities, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Options (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Warrant Price under Section 2.1), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 2.1) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of all such Options, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z) in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such Options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(i)(3), no further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock or of Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

(2)    Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company shall, at any time or from
time to time after the Issue Date, in any manner, grant or sell (whether directly or by
assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right
to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, then
the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or
exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to
have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Convertible Securities (and
thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the number of
Shares pursuant to Section 2.1), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received
for purposes of Section 2.1) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the
Company as consideration for the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y)
the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the
Company upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the
total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or
exchange of all such Convertible Securities. Except as otherwise provided in Section
2.1(i)(3), no further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual
issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities



or by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to
purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the number of Shares
have been made pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2.1(i).

(3)    Change in Terms of Derivative Securities. Upon any change in any of (A) the
total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or
sale of any Derivative Securities referred to in Section 2.1(i)(1) or Section 2.1(i)(2)
hereof, (B) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to
the Company upon the exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion or
exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2.1(i)(1) or Section 2.1(i)(2)
hereof, (C) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2.1(i)(1) or
Section 2.1(i)(2) hereof are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D)
the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any
Options referred to in Section 2.1(i)(1) hereof or any Convertible Securities referred to in
Section 2.1(i)(2) hereof (in each case, other than in connection with any issuance or sale
of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of this Warrant), then
(whether or not the original issuance or sale of such Derivative Securities resulted in an
adjustment to the Warrant Price pursuant to this Section 2.1) the Warrant Price at the time
of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the Warrant Price which
would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.1 had
such Derivative Securities still outstanding provided for such changed consideration,
conversion rate, or maximum number of shares, as the case may be, at the time initially
granted, issued, or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment, the
Warrant Price is decreased.

(4)    Treatment of Expired or Terminated Derivative Securities. Upon the
expiration or termination of any unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or any
unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) for which any
adjustment (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) was made
pursuant to this Section 2.1 (including without limitation upon the redemption or
purchase for consideration of all or any portion of such Option or Convertible Security by
the Company), the Warrant Price shall forthwith be changed pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 2.1 to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at the time of such
expiration or termination had such unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or
unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof), to the extent
outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.

(5)    Calculation of Consideration Received. If the Company shall, at any time or
from time to time after the Issue Date, issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold in
accordance with Section 2.1(i), any shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible
Securities: (A) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net
amount received by the Company therefor; (B) for consideration other than cash, the
amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be the Fair
Market Value of such consideration; (C) for no specifically allocated consideration in
connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of the Company, together
comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be
deemed to have been issued without consideration; or (D) to the owners of the non-
surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving



corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the Fair Market
Value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is
attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities, as the
case may be, issued to such owners. The Board of Directors of the Company shall
determine the net amount of any cash consideration in its reasonable good faith judgment
and the Fair Market Value of any consideration other than cash shall be determined in
accordance with the definition thereof.

(6)    Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at
any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the
Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof or the transfer of such shares among the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 2.1.

(7)    Other Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.1(i), if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, make or declare, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or any other distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock), cash, or other property, then, and in each such event, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, in addition to the number of Shares receivable thereupon, the kind and amount of securities of the Company, cash, or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrant been exercised or converted in full into Shares on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the exercise date, retained such securities, cash, or other property receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 2.1 with respect to the rights of the Holder.

(8)    Existing Derivative Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, any changes to the terms of any Derivative Securities outstanding on or prior to the date hereof shall also be subject to the foregoing clause (3) as if such prior-existing Derivative Securities were issued immediately after this Warrant (i.e., resulting in appropriate adjustments, as applicable, to the Warrant Price in accordance with this Section 2.1). Without limiting the foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed that for purposes of calculating the initial number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company and Holder agreed to only take into account out-of-the-money stock options to purchase one million shares of Common Stock (the remaining, disregarded out-of-the-money stock options outstanding on the Issue Date, the “Disregarded Options”). For the avoidance of doubt, upon any amendments to the terms of the Disregarded Options that would result in either (x) the strike price thereof with respect to one share of Common Stock being less than the then current Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock or (y) the strike price thereof with respect to one share of Common Stock being less than the Warrant Price, (I) the Warrant Price at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.1 as if such Disregarded Options had been issued at a zero strike immediately after this Warrant



(i.e., resulting in appropriate adjustments, as applicable, to the Warrant Price in accordance with this Section 2.1) and (II) the Warrant Price shall be further readjusted to give incremental effect to the changes called for by this Section 2.1 on account of the actual amendment itself (together with any other amendments to the terms of such options from and after the Issue Date) (i.e., at that time, Holder shall benefit from the incremental adjustments attributable to all of the amendments to the terms of all of the options outstanding on the Issue Date, including the Disregarded Options), and any amendments thereafter will continue to be subject to the terms of this Section 2.1, including clause (3) and this clause (8).

2.2    Adjustments to Number of Warrants. Concurrently with any adjustment to the
Warrant Price under Section 2.1, the number of Shares will be adjusted to be equal to the number of Shares immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and (ii) the denominator of which is the Warrant Price in effect immediately following such adjustment.

2.3    Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event
whereby all of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that Holder would have received had the Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.3 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations substitutions, replacements or other similar events.

2.4    Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2.1 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues, or sells any shares of Common Stock, Options, Convertible Securities, or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities, or other property, in each case, pro rata to the record holders of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder shall be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder would have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Shares acquirable upon complete exercise or conversion of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance, or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue, or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holder shall not be entitled to the Purchase Rights granted herein with respect to any issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of this Warrant.

2.5    Successor upon Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets.




(a)    The Company may not consolidate or merge with, or sell, lease, convey or otherwise transfer in one transaction or a series of related transactions all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries to, any other Person (a “Fundamental Change”) unless the Company is the surviving corporation or the Company requires, as a necessary condition to the consummation of such transaction, that:

(1)    the successor to the Company assumes all of the Company’s
obligations under this Warrant; and

(2)    the successor to the Company provides written notice of such assumption to Holder.

(b)    In case of any such Fundamental Change, such successor entity shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the Company.

2.6    No Fractional Share. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional Share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (i) the Fair Market Value of a full Share, less (ii) the then-effective Warrant Price.

2.7    Notice/Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the happening of any event requiring an adjustment of the Warrant Price, Common Stock and/or number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company, at the Company’s expense, shall notify Holder in writing within a reasonable time setting forth the adjustments to the Warrant Price, class and/or number of Shares and facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request from Holder, furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer, including computations of such adjustment and the Warrant Price, class and number of Shares in effect upon the date of such adjustment.

2.8    No Impairment. The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or other governing or organizational documents, or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment.

2.9    Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Warrant Price shall not be less than zero as a result of any adjustment hereunder, action, event or otherwise.

Holder also represents that it has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring this Warrant or the Shares.

4.2    Disclosure of Information. Holder is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has received or has had full access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of this Warrant and its underlying securities. Holder further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the

4.3    Investment Experience. Holder understands that the purchase of this Warrant and its underlying securities involves substantial risk. Holder has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that Holder can bear the economic risk of such Holder’s investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and/or has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and duration that enables Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons.

4.5    The Act. Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof have not been registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein.

Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.

4.6    No Voting Rights. Holder, as a Holder of this Warrant, will not have any voting rights until the exercise of this Warrant.

SECTION 5. MISCELLANEOUS.

(b)    Automatic Cashless Exercise upon Expiration. In the event that, immediately prior to the expiration of the Warrant, the Fair Market Value of one Share (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) is greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Shares (or such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised (or such lesser amount for which it may be exercised in accordance with limitations on exercise set forth in Section 1.7), and the Company shall, within a reasonable time, deliver a certificate representing the Shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to Holder.




5.2    Legends. The Shares shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the

ACT, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED.

The Company shall not require Holder to provide an opinion of counsel if the transfer is to any Affiliate of Holder; provided, that any such transferee is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act. Additionally, the Company shall also not require an opinion of counsel if there is no material question as to the availability of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.

5.4    Transfer Procedure. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 and upon providing
the Company with written notice, Holder may transfer all or part of this Warrant or the Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant (or the securities issued upon conversion of the Shares, if any) to any Affiliate or other transferee; provided, however, in connection with any such transfer, Holder will give the Company notice of the portion of the Warrant and/or Shares (and/or securities issued upon conversion of the Shares, if any) being transferred with the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee and Holder will surrender this Warrant to the Company for reissuance to the transferee(s) (and Holder if applicable) and the transferee shall agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Warrant as a precondition to any such transfer.

5.13    Equitable Relief. Each of the Company and the Holder acknowledges that a
breach or threatened breach by the Company of any of its obligations under this Warrant would give rise to irreparable harm to the Holder for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and hereby agree that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by the Company of any such obligations, the Holder shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction.

1.1    Method of Exercise. Holder may at any time and from time to time
exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company, in any of the manners permitted by Section 5.5, the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1, whereupon, on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Holder shall be entitled to receive in respect of each Share notionally subject to such exercise, the excess of the Fair Market Value of one Share, as of the exercise date, over the then current Warrant Price (the “Cash Settlement Amount”). Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, in no event shall Holder be required to surrender or deliver an ink-signed paper copy of this Warrant or the Notice of Exercise in connection with its exercise hereof or of any rights hereunder, nor shall Holder be required to surrender or deliver a paper or other physical copy of this Warrant or a paper or other physical copy of the Notice of Exercise in connection with any exercise hereof (in each case, delivery by electronic mail being sufficient).

1.2    [intentionally omitted].

1.3    Fair Market Value. “Fair Market Value” shall mean: (a) with respect to



the Common Stock or any other security that is then listed on a national stock exchange, the closing price or last sale price of such security reported for the Business Day immediately prior to the applicable date of determination; (b) with respect to the Common Stock or any other security that is not listed on a national stock exchange but is then quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. OTC Bulletin Board or such similar exchange or association, the closing price or last sale price of a share or unit of such security thereon reported for the Business Day immediately prior to the applicable date of determination; or (c) if neither of the foregoing applies, as jointly determined by the board of directors of the Company and Holder; provided, that if the parties are unable to reach agreement within a reasonable period of time, then such fair market value determination shall be determined by a nationally recognized investment banking, accounting or valuation firm that is not affiliated with the Company or Holder, in which case, the determination of such firm shall be final and conclusive (and the fees and expenses of such valuation firm shall be borne by the Company).

1.4    Settlement; Delivery of New Warrant.

(a)    Within three (3 Business Days after Holder exercises this Warrant in the
manner set forth in Section 1.1 above, the Company shall pay the aggregate Cash Settlement Amount to, or at the direction of, Holder.

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if payment of all or any portion of the
Cash Settlement Amount in accordance with the foregoing clause (a) would result in the Company having less than $100.0 million in Available Cash (as hereinafter defined) immediately after making such payment, the Company shall have the right to defer the payment of the portion of the Cash Settlement Amount that would cause the Company to have less than $100.0 million in Available Cash. Any such deferred payments shall accrue interest continuously at an annualized rate equal to 6.0%, compounded monthly (such deferred payments and the unpaid interest accrued thereon, the “Deferred Payment Obligations”). The Company shall be obligated to make payments in respect of any outstanding Deferred Payment Obligations monthly to the extent that doing so would not result in the Company having less than $100.0 million in Available Cash after giving effect to such monthly payment. “Available Cash” as used herein shall mean the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents (as defined in that certain Indenture, dated June 3, 2024, by and between the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto from time to time and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee and Collateral Agent, governing those certain First Lien Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Indenture”)) included on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) as of such time. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s obligations to make payments pursuant to this Section 1.4(b) shall survive the expiration and termination of this Warrant until fully performed.

(c)    If this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, the
Company shall deliver to Holder a new warrant of like tenor representing the remaining Shares notionally underlying this Warrant.

1.5    Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant



to the Company for cancellation, the Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.

1.6    Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company.

(a)    Acquisition. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any
transaction or series of related transactions involving: (i) the sale, lease, exclusive license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets (including intellectual property) of the Company; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another person or entity (other than a merger or consolidation effected exclusively to change the Company’s domicile), or any other corporate reorganization or recapitalization, in which the stockholders of the Company in their capacity as such immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, reorganization, or recapitalization, own less than a majority of the Company’s (or the surviving or successor entity’s) outstanding voting power immediately after such merger, consolidation, reorganization, or recapitalization; (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; or (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another person or group of related persons (as defined in Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act) whereby such other person or group acquires 50% or more of the Company’s then-outstanding total voting power.

(b)    Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition. In the event of an Acquisition in
which the consideration to be received by the Company’s stockholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a “Cash/Public Acquisition”), and the Fair Market Value of one Share would be greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date immediately prior to such Cash/Public Acquisition, and Holder has not exercised this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.1 above as to all Shares, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.1 above as to all notional underlying Shares effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of a Cash/Public Acquisition. In connection with such automatic exercise, Holder shall be deemed to have restated each of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of the Warrant as of the date thereof and the Company shall promptly notify the Holder the Cash Settlement Amount to be paid in respect of such Shares. Regardless of whether the Fair Market Value of one Share exceeds the Warrant Price then in effect, immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of a Cash/Public Acquisition, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Holder all of the outstanding Deferred Payment Obligations. In the event of a Cash/Public Acquisition where the Fair Market Value of one Share would be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such Cash/Public Acquisition, then, contingent upon the consummation of such Cash/Public Acquisition, this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Cash/Public Acquisition. The Company shall not effect any Cash/Public Acquisition unless the material definitive agreement governing such transaction shall provide for payment of the Cash Settlement Amount for all of the Shares as set forth in this Section 1.6(b) and the payment of any and all outstanding Deferred Payment Obligations in full.

(c)    Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than a Cash/Public Acquisition,



the acquiring, surviving or successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and the Cash Settlement Amount for this Warrant shall thereafter be calculated based on the same securities and/or other property as would have been paid for the Shares originally notionally underlying the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Acquisition, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant, and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to ensure that the provisions of this Warrant shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to any securities and/or other property thereafter notionally underlying this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 1.6(c) shall similarly apply to successive Acquisitions. The Company shall not effect any such Acquisition unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such Acquisition shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Holder the Cash Settlement Amount that, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, and of any Deferred Payment Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 1.6(c), the Holder shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to give effect to the exercise rights set forth in Section 1 instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 1.6(c) with respect to this Warrant.

(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion
of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company, a Cash/Public Acquisition, or any other transaction, such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such offering or transaction, as applicable, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

(e)    As used in this Warrant, “Marketable Securities” means securities
meeting all of the following requirements: (i) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Act and the Exchange Act; (ii) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer to be received by holders of Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition is then traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or on another United States national or regional securities exchange, and (iii) following the closing of such Acquisition, former holders of Common Stock would not be restricted from publicly re-selling all of the issuer’s shares and/or other securities that would be received thereby in such Acquisition, except to the extent that any such restriction arises solely under federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations.
1.7    [intentionally omitted].

SECTION 2.    ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.

2.1    Adjustments to Warrant Price. The Warrant Price shall be subject to
adjustment (without duplication) upon the occurrence of any of the following events:






(a)    The issuance of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to all holders
of Common Stock, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater or smaller number of shares, in which event the Warrant Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
N0
W1 = W0 x --------
N1

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on (i)
the Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective
date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on
(i) the Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification;

N0 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
the Open of Business on (i) the Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification; and

N1 =    the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) in the case of a
dividend or distribution, the sum of the number of shares outstanding
immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such
dividend or distribution plus the total number of shares issued pursuant to
such dividend or distribution or (ii) in the case of a subdivision,
combination or reclassification, the number of shares outstanding
immediately after such subdivision, combination or reclassification.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on (i) the
Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date in the case of a
subdivision, combination or reclassification. If any dividend or distribution or
subdivision, combination or reclassification of the type described in this Section 2.1(a) is
declared or announced but not so paid or made, the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted
to the Warrant Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution or
subdivision, combination or reclassification had not been declared or announced, as the
case may be.

(b)    The issuance to all holders of Common Stock of shares of Common Stock
(or Derivative Securities) at an Effective Consideration per share that is below the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the announcement of such issuance, in which event the Warrant Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:





N0 + C/M
W1 = W0 x -------------
N0 + NA

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the
Ex-Date for such issuance;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on
the Ex-Date for such issuance;

N0 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such issuance;

NA =    the number of shares of Common Stock issued and, if applicable, issuable
upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any Derivative Securities
assuming full physical settlement;

C =    the total consideration receivable by the Company on issuance and, if
applicable, the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Derivative
Securities assuming full physical settlement; and

M =    the Closing Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the date of the announcement of such issuance.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the
Ex-Date for such issuance. In the event that an issuance of such Common Stock or
Derivative Securities is announced but such Common Stock or Derivative Securities are
not so issued, the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted to be the Warrant Price that
would then be in effect if the Ex-Date for such issuance had not occurred. If the
application of this Section 2.1(b) to any issuance would result in an increase in the
Warrant Price, no adjustment shall be made for such issuance under this Section 2.1(b).

(c)    The issuance of shares of Common Stock (or Derivative Securities) at an
Effective Consideration that is less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the date of such issuance, in which event the Warrant Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

N0 + C/W0
W1 = W0 x -------------
N0 + NA

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the



date of such issuance;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on
the date of such issuance;

N0 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
the Open of Business on the date of such issuance;

NA =    the number of shares of Common Stock issued and, if applicable, issuable
upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any Derivative Securities
assuming full physical settlement; and

C =    the total consideration receivable by the Company on issuance and, if
applicable, the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Derivative
Securities assuming full physical settlement.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the
date of such issuance. In the event that an issuance of such Common Stock or Derivative
Securities is announced but such Common Stock or Derivative Securities are not so
issued, the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted to be the Warrant Price that would then
be in effect if the issuance had not occurred. If the application of this Section 2.1(c) to
any issuance would result in an increase in the Warrant Price, no adjustment shall be
made for such issuance under this Section 2.1(c).

(d)    The issuance as a dividend or distribution to all holders of Common Stock
of shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock (other than Common Stock) or other securities, cash or other property (excluding any dividend or distribution covered by Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b)), in which event the Warrant Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

M - FMV
W1 = W0 x ---------------
M

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the
Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on
the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;

M =    the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution; and

FMV =    the Fair Market Value of the portion of such dividend or distribution
applicable to one share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution.




Such decrease shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-
Date for such dividend or distribution. In the event that such dividend or distribution is
declared or announced but not so paid or made, the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted
to be the Warrant Price which would then be in effect if such distribution had not been
declared or announced.

However, if the transaction that gives rise to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.1(d)
is one pursuant to which the payment of a dividend or other distribution on Common
Stock consists of shares of capital stock of, or similar equity interests in, a subsidiary of
the Company or other business unit of the Company (i.e., a spin-off) that are, or, when
issued, will be, traded or quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or any other national
or regional securities exchange or market, then the Warrant Price will instead be adjusted
based on the following formula:

M0
W1 = W0 x --------------
M0 + FMV0

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the
Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on
the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;

FMV0 =    the average of the Fair Market Values of the capital stock or similar equity
interests distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share
of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on,
and including, the third Trading Day following the effective date of such
spin-off (the “Valuation Period”); and

M0 =    the average of the Fair Market Values of the Common Stock over the
Valuation Period for such dividend or distribution.

Such decrease shall be made immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading
Day of the Valuation Period for such dividend or distribution, but shall be given effect
immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;
provided that in respect of any exercise during the Valuation Period, references to 10
consecutive Trading Days in the definition of Valuation Period shall be deemed replaced
with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed commencing on, and including,
the third Trading Day following the effective date of such spin-off and the exercise date
in determining the applicable Warrant Price. In the event that such dividend or
distribution is declared or announced but not so paid or made, the Warrant Price shall
again be adjusted to be the Warrant Price which would then be in effect if such
distribution had not been declared or announced.






(e)    The payment in respect of any tender offer or exchange offer by the
Company for Common Stock, where the cash and fair value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately following the expiration date of the tender or exchange offer (the “Offer Expiration Date”), in which event the Warrant Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

N0 x P
W1 = W0 x ---------------
A + (P x N1)

where:

W1 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the
Offer Expiration Date;

W0 =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on
the Offer Expiration Date;

N0 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
the expiration of the tender or exchange offer (prior to giving effect to the
purchase or exchange of shares);

N1 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the
expiration of the tender or exchange offer (after giving effect to the
purchase or exchange of shares);

A =    the aggregate cash and fair value of any other consideration payable for
shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender offer or exchange offer; and

P =    the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately following the Offer Expiration Date.

An adjustment, if any, to the Warrant Price pursuant to this clause (e) shall become
effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Offer Expiration Date. In the
event that the Company or a subsidiary of the Company is obligated to purchase shares of
Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company or
such subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such
purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Warrant Price shall again be
adjusted to be the Warrant Price which would then be in effect if such tender offer or
exchange offer had not been made. If the application of this Section 2.1(e) to any tender
offer or exchange offer would result in an increase in the Warrant Price, no adjustment
shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this Section 2.1(e).







(f)    If any single action would require adjustment of the Warrant Price
pursuant to more than one subsection of this Section 2.1, only one adjustment shall be made and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest, relative to the rights and interests of the registered holders of the Warrants then outstanding, absolute value.

(g)    The Company may from time to time, to the extent permitted by law and
subject to applicable rules of the principal U.S. national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, decrease the Warrant Price and/or increase the number of Shares notionally underlying this Warrant by any amount for any period of at least 20 days. In that case, the Company shall give Holder at least 15 days’ prior notice of such increase or decrease, and such notice shall state the decreased Warrant Price and/or increased number of shares for which the Warrant may be exercised and the period during which the decrease and/or increase will be in effect. The Company may make such decreases in the Warrant Price and/or increases in the number of Shares for which the Warrant may be exercised, in addition to those set forth in this Section 2.1, as the Company’s Board of Directors deems advisable, including to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of the Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

(h)    [intentionally omitted].

(i)    Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to the Warrant Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Price under Section 2.1, the following shall be applicable:
(1)    Issuance of Options. If the Company shall, at any time or
from time to time after the Issue Date, in any manner, grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Derivative Securities, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Options (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Warrant Price under Section 2.1), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 2.1) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of all such Options, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z) in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities



issuable upon the exercise of all such Options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(i)(3), no further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock or of Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

(2)    Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company shall, at    
any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, in any manner, grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Convertible Securities (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the number of notional Shares pursuant to Section 2.1), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 2.1) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(i)(3), no further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the number of notional Shares have been made pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2.1(i).

(3)    Change in Terms of Derivative Securities. Upon any
change in any of (A) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of any Derivative Securities referred to in Section 2.1(i)(1) or Section 2.1(i)(2) hereof, (B) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2.1(i)(1) or Section 2.1(i)(2) hereof, (C) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2.1(i)(1) or Section 2.1(i)(2) hereof are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any Options referred to in Section 2.1(i)(1) hereof or any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2.1(i)(2) hereof, then (whether or not the original issuance or sale of such Derivative Securities resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Price pursuant to this Section 2.1) the Warrant Price at the time of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.1 had such Derivative Securities still outstanding provided for such changed



consideration, conversion rate, or maximum number of shares, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued, or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment, the Warrant Price is decreased.

(4)    Treatment of Expired or Terminated Derivative Securities.
Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or any unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) for which any adjustment (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) was made pursuant to this Section 2.1 (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of all or any portion of such Option or Convertible Security by the Company), the Warrant Price shall forthwith be changed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.1 to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof), to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.

(5)    Calculation of Consideration Received. If the Company    
shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold in accordance with Section 2.1(i), any shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities: (A) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor; (B) for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be the Fair Market Value of such consideration; (C) for no specifically allocated consideration in connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration; or (D) to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the Fair Market Value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued to such owners. The Board of Directors of the Company shall determine the net amount of any cash consideration in its reasonable good faith judgment and the Fair Market Value of any consideration other than cash shall be determined in accordance with the definition thereof.

(6)    Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof or the transfer of such shares among the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 2.1.

(7)    Other Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the



provisions of this Section 2.1(i), if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, make or declare, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or any other distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock), cash, or other property, then, and in each such event, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, in addition to the amount of cash receivable thereupon, the equivalent cash value of the kind and amount of securities of the Company, cash, or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrant been notionally exercised or notionally converted in full into Shares on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the exercise date, retained such notional securities, cash, or other property receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 2.1 with respect to the rights of the Holder.

(8)    Existing Derivative Securities. For the avoidance of doubt,
any changes to the terms of any Derivative Securities outstanding on or prior to the date hereof shall also be subject to the foregoing clause (3) as if such prior-existing Derivative Securities were issued immediately after this Warrant (i.e., resulting in appropriate adjustments, as applicable, to the Warrant Price in accordance with this Section 2.1). Without limiting the foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed that for purposes of calculating the initial number of Shares notionally underlying this Warrant, the Company and Holder agreed to only take into account out-of-the-money stock options to purchase one million shares of Common Stock (the remaining, disregarded out-of-the-money stock options outstanding on the Issue Date, the “Disregarded Options”). For the avoidance of doubt, upon any amendments to the terms of the Disregarded Options that would result in either (x) the strike price thereof with respect to one share of Common Stock being less than the then current Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock or (y) the strike price thereof with respect to one share of Common Stock being less than the Warrant Price, (I) the Warrant Price at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.1 as if such Disregarded Options had been issued at a zero strike immediately after this Warrant (i.e., resulting in appropriate adjustments, as applicable, to the Warrant Price in accordance with this Section 2.1) and (II) the Warrant Price shall be further readjusted to give incremental effect to the changes called for by this Section 2.1 on account of the actual amendment itself (together with any other amendments to the terms of such options from and after the Issue Date) (i.e., at that time, Holder shall benefit from the incremental adjustments attributable to all of the amendments to the terms of all of the options outstanding on the Issue Date, including the Disregarded Options), and any amendments thereafter will continue to be subject to the terms of this Section 2.1, including clause (3) and this clause (8).






2.2    Adjustments to Number of Warrants. Concurrently with any adjustment
to the Warrant Price under Section 2.1, the number of notional Shares will be adjusted to be equal to the number of notional Shares immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and (ii) the denominator of which is the Warrant Price in effect immediately following such adjustment.

(a)    The Company may not consolidate or merge with, or sell, lease, convey or
otherwise transfer in one transaction or a series of related transactions all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries to, any other Person (a “Fundamental Change”) unless the Company is the surviving corporation or the Company requires, as a necessary condition to the consummation of such transaction, that:

(1)    the successor to the Company assumes all of the Company’s obligations under this Warrant; and

(2)    the successor to the Company provides written notice of such assumption to Holder.

providing the Company with written notice, Holder may transfer all or part of this Warrant to any Affiliate or other transferee; provided, however, in connection with any such transfer, Holder will give the Company notice of the portion of the Warrant being transferred with the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee and Holder will surrender this Warrant to the Company for reissuance to the transferee(s) (and Holder if applicable) and the transferee shall agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Warrant as a precondition to any such transfer.
