LOCK-UP AGREEMENT
This LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of June 3, 2013, by and between Converted Organics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned (the “Stockholder”) holder of common stock (the "Common Stock") of the Company.
WHEREAS, the Company has agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable to the Stockholder and certain other persons pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof, among the Company, Finjan, Inc., and COIN Merger Sub, Inc. (the “Merger Agreement”) and pursuant to the Exchange Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement);
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately following the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Company shall change its name to Finjan Holdings, Inc. through a short-form merger pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware; and
WHEREAS, to facilitate the development of an orderly trading market in the Company’s Common Stock, the Company and the undersigned are entering into this Agreement which provides the circumstances under which the undersigned may sell or otherwise dispose of the Company’s securities.
NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the undersigned Stockholder agree as follows:
1. Prohibition on Sales or Transfers. Other than as set forth in Sections 2 or 3 below, the Stockholder hereby agrees that for a period (the “Lock-Up Period”) beginning on the date hereof and ending on the ten (10) month anniversary of the Effective Date, the Stockholder will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, give, donate, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of the Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock issued to the Stockholder by the Company (collectively, the “Lock-Up Shares”) or securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Lock-Up Shares, enter into a transaction which would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Lock-Up Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing (the “Lock-Up Agreement”). As used herein, the "Effective Date" means the date the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective.
2. Post-Effective Date Release. Ten percent (10%) of the undersigned’s Lock-Up Shares shall be automatically released from the restrictions set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 1) on the Effective Date and on each monthly anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that until the six month anniversary of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the release of the undersigned’s Lock-Up Shares in accordance with this provision shall be suspended to the extent (but only to the extent) that the percentage of the undersigned's Lock-Up Shares that would be released pursuant to this provision but for this proviso would exceed the percentage of Exchange Shares of any Investor (each as defined in the Exchange Agreement) registered for resale pursuant to the Registration Statement. Any Lock-Up Shares whose release is suspended pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso shall accrue and the suspension of the release of such shares shall automatically cease from and after the earlier of (x) the six-month anniversary of the Effective Time of the Merger and (y) the date on which the lowest percentage of Exchange Shares of any Investor registered for resale pursuant to the Registration Statement equals or exceeds the aggregate percentage of the undersigned’s Lock-Up Shares that are released pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
3. Allowable Sales During Lock-Up Period and Thereafter. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 1 above, during the Lock-Up Period the Stockholder may:
(a) Transfer Lock-Up Shares to the Company;
(b) Transfer Lock-Up Shares to one of the Stockholder’s Affiliated Entities (as defined below), so long as such Stockholder’s Affiliated Entity agrees in an additional written instrument delivered to the Company to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
(c) Transfer Lock-up Shares in open market sales at a per share sales price of $0.56 or above (subject to appropriate adjustment for any stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar events).
As used in this Agreement “Affiliated Entities” shall mean any legal entity, including any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, not-for-profit corporation, estate planning vehicle or trust, which is directly or indirectly majority controlled by the Stockholder or his or her descendants or spouse, of which such Stockholder or his or her descendants or spouse are beneficial owners, or which is under joint control or ownership with any other person or entity subject to a lock-up agreement regarding the Company’s stock with terms substantially identical to this Agreement.
4. Application of this Agreement to Shares Sold or Otherwise Transferred. Except as otherwise provided herein, Lock-up Shares that are sold or otherwise Transferred in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement shall thereafter not be subject to the restrictions on sale or other Transfer contained in this Agreement.
5. Attempted Transfers. Any attempted or purported sale or other Transfer of any Lock-Up Shares by the Stockholder in violation or contravention of the terms of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio. The Company shall, and shall instruct its transfer agent to, reject and refuse to transfer on its books any Lock-Up Shares that may have been attempted to be sold or otherwise Transferred in violation or contravention of any of the provisions of this Agreement and shall not recognize any person or entity.
6. Consent or Approval of Company. Whenever the waiver, consent or approval of the Company is required herein or is desired to amend this Agreement or waive any requirement in this Agreement, such consent, approval, amendment or waiver may only be given by the Company if and when approved by a majority of the Company’s then independent directors; provided, however, that the independent directors may delegate this authority to executive officers of the Company if the Stockholder seeking or benefiting from the consent, approval, amendment or waiver is not serving as an officer or director of the Company.
7. Authority and Acknowledgement of Representation. The Stockholder represents and warrants to the Company that (i) the Stockholder has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, that it has received adequate consideration therefor and (ii) the Stockholder was or had the opportunity to be represented by legal counsel and other advisors selected by Stockholder in connection with this Agreement.
