Each Qualified Holder shall be entitled to purchase all or any portion of such Qualified Holder’s pro rata allotment of such New Securities on the same price and same terms and conditions as such New Securities are to be offered to other Persons; provided that if other Persons acquiring the New Securities are also required to purchase other securities of the Company, the Qualified Holders exercising their rights pursuant to this Section 6.8 shall also be required to purchase the same strip of securities (on the same terms and conditions) that such other Persons are required to purchase. The purchase price payable for the New Securities offered to the Qualified Holders hereunder shall be payable in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company or, to the extent otherwise permitted by the Company, by notes issued by such holders.

 

(b)          Issuance Notice. At least 15 days prior to any issuance by the Company of any New Securities, the Company shall give written notice (the “Issuance Notice”) to each Qualified Holder specifying in reasonable detail the total amount of New Securities to be issued, the purchase price thereof, the other material terms and conditions of the issuance and such Qualified Holder’s pro rata allotment of the New Securities. In order to exercise such holder’s purchase rights hereunder, each Qualified Holder must, within ten days after the Issuance Notice has been given to the Qualified Holders, give written notice to the Company describing such holder’s election to purchase all or any portion of the amount of New Securities available for purchase by such Qualified Holder. The failure of a Qualified Holder to respond within 15 days of its receipt of the Issuance Notice shall be deemed a waiver of such Qualified Holder’s rights under this Section 6.8, only with respect to the offering described in the applicable Issuance Notice.

 

(c)          Issuance Closing. Within 15 days after the Issuance Notice has been given, the Company shall sell, and each Qualified Holder electing to participate in such issuance shall purchase, the amount of New Securities determined pursuant to this Section 6.8 at a mutually agreeable place and time (the “Issuance Closing”). At the Issuance Closing, the Company shall deliver to each such participating Qualified Holder the certificates or other instruments representing the issued New Securities (if certificated), free and clear of all Liens, and each such participating Qualified Holder shall deliver the purchase price for such New Securities to the Company and shall make customary investment representations to the Company.

 

(d)          Sale to Other Persons. To the extent that the Qualified Holders have not elected to purchase all of the New Securities being offered, the Company may, within 90 days after the Issuance Notice was given, sell such New Securities to one or more third parties at a price no less than the price per share, and on other material terms and conditions no more favorable to such third-party purchaser(s) than the material terms and conditions, offered to the Qualified Holders in the Issuance Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such sale of New Securities is subject to the receipt of any regulatory or stockholder approval or consent or the expiration of any waiting period, the time period during which such sale may be consummated shall be extended until the expiration of five business days after all such approvals or consents have been obtained or waiting periods expired, but in no event shall such time period be extended for more than 30 additional days from the expiration of the initial 90-day period. Any New Securities not sold within such 90-day period (or 120-day period, as applicable) shall be reoffered to the Qualified Holders under this Section 6.8 prior to any subsequent sale.

 

Section 6.9.          Listing. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to continue to have its Common Stock listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market or other national securities exchange so long as any Preferred Stock is outstanding. Prior to the Initial Closing, the Company shall prepare and submit to NASDAQ an application to list additional shares covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock purchased by Purchaser at the Initial Closing. Prior to each Subsequent Closing, the Company shall prepare and submit to NASDAQ an application to list additional shares covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock purchased by Purchaser and LS Purchaser at such Subsequent Closing, if required by applicable NASDAQ rules.

 

 

Section 6.10.         Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company shall not adopt any resolution containing any provisions relating to the exemption from Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law granted to Purchaser, LS Purchaser or their respective Affiliates which would adversely affect or otherwise impair the rights of Purchaser, LS Purchaser or their respective Affiliates thereunder.

 

Section 6.11.         Conversion of Preferred Stock. The Company shall not take any action that would adversely affect or limit the rights of Purchasers to convert the Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof.

Promptly, but in any event within twenty days after the Initial SPA Date, the Company shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an information statement pursuant to Section 14(c) and Regulation 14C of the Exchange Act (an “Information Statement”) regarding the Stockholder Consent. The Company shall comply with all of its obligations pursuant to Section 14(c) and Regulation 14C of the Exchange Act in connection with the Stockholder Consent. The Company will cause the Information Statement, at the time of the mailing of the Information Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto to not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is made by the Company with respect to information supplied by Purchaser in writing specifically for inclusion in the Information Statement. The Company shall respond reasonably promptly to any comments received from the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Information Statement, and the Company shall cause the Information Statement (containing the recommendation described above) to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders at the earliest reasonably practicable date. The Company shall notify Purchaser, as promptly as reasonably practicable after receipt thereof, of any comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission or any request from the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Information Statement (and shall provide copies of any such written comments or requests to Purchaser) and shall provide Purchaser with copies of all correspondence between the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants or other advisors, agents or representatives, on the one hand, and the Securities and Exchange Commission or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, on the other hand, relating to the Information Statement. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Information Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, prior to filing or mailing the Information Statement (or, in each case, any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff with respect thereto, the Company shall provide Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response and the Company shall consider any reasonable comments provided by Purchaser or its representatives. If at any time any event or circumstance relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their respective officers or directors should be discovered by the Company which, pursuant to the Securities Act or Exchange Act, should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Information Statement, the Company shall promptly inform Purchaser. Each party agrees to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Information Statement which shall have become false or misleading and shall cause all documents that such party is responsible for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with transactions contemplated hereby to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and, as applicable, not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

Section 6.13.         Public Disclosures. Other than with respect to the Information Statement and any required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to, disclose Purchaser’s or LS Purchaser’s name or identity as an investor in the Company in any press release or other public announcement or in any document or material filed with any Governmental Entity, without the prior written consent of Purchaser or LS Purchaser, as applicable (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) , unless such disclosure is required by applicable Law or governmental regulations or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, in which case, prior to making such disclosure, the Company shall give written notice to Purchaser or LS Purchaser, as applicable, describing in reasonable detail the proposed content of such disclosure and shall permit Purchaser or LS Purchaser, as applicable, to review and comment upon the form and substance of such disclosure.

 

 

Section 6.14.         Transfers.

 

(a)          Restrictions on Transfer. Purchaser shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose any shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock prior to January 1, 2015. Thereafter, any sale, transfer or other disposition by Purchaser shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.14. During the period commencing on the Restatement Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Restatement Date, LS Purchaser shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock other than pursuant to Sections 6.14(c), 6.14(d) or 6.14(f) hereof; provided, that nothing in this Section 6.14 shall restrict Purchaser or LS Purchaser from transferring any shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock to any Permitted Transferee; provided, that such Permitted Transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and LS Purchaser shall not be restricted from selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of any shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock in connection with or at any time following the occurrence of a Change of Control or Event of Noncompliance (each as defined in the Certificate of Designation), in connection with Purchaser’s participation in a Piggyback Registration (as set forth in the Registration Agreement) or in connection with LS Purchaser’s participation in a Piggyback Registration (as set forth in Section 6.15 hereof).

 

(b)          Right of First Offer

 

(i)          ROFO Offer. Subject to the restrictions contained in Section 6.14(a), at any time, if Purchaser wishes to transfer shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock (other than a sale of Underlying Common Stock on the open market pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act), then held by Purchaser other than in the context of a Purchaser Divestiture, Purchaser shall first offer such shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock for sale to LS Purchaser pursuant to an offer in writing (the “ROFO Offer”) delivered to LS Purchaser which shall set forth the terms and conditions of such sale (including the shares of Preferred Stock proposed to be sold, the price per share of Preferred Stock and any other material terms) and shall be irrevocable for a period of 20 days from the date of receipt of the ROFO Offer by LS Purchaser. The right of first offer held by LS Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6.14(b) shall be a personal and non-transferable right and shall apply to LS Purchaser only (and not to any of its successors or assigns).

 

(ii)         Exercise of Right of First Offer. LS Purchaser shall have the right, by written notice to Purchaser within 20 days from the date of receipt of the ROFO Offer, to:

 

(1)         acquire all of the shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock subject to the ROFO Offer from Purchaser for the price per share and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Offer; or

 

(2)         decline the ROFO Offer, in which case, Purchaser may sell its shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock subject to the ROFO Offer upon the same (or better, from the perspective of Purchaser) terms of payment (including a price per share of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock that is at least equal to the price set forth in the ROFO Offer) and other material terms and conditions as those set forth in the ROFO Offer to any independent third party within the ensuing 120 days (the “ROFO Period”); provided, however, that if Purchaser fails to consummate such third-party sale within the ROFO Period, each of the provisions of this Section 6.14(b) shall apply again to any proposed transfer of such shares of Preferred Stock.

 

(iii)        Failure to Notify. In the event that LS Purchaser fails to notify Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.14(b)(ii) within the ROFO Period, LS Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to decline the ROFO Offer.

 

(iv)        Sale to a Third Party. In the event that LS Purchaser does not exercise the ROFO Offer pursuant to Section 6.14(b)(ii), then as a condition of Purchaser selling shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock to a third party pursuant to Section 6.14, Purchaser shall send a Tag-Along Notice to LS Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.14(d) hereof.

 

(v)         Closing. The purchase and sale of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6.14(b)(ii)(1) shall take place as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of LS Purchaser’s receipt of the ROFO Offer and the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and required consents but in no event later than the date which is 120 days after the date LS Purchaser received the ROFO Offer.

 

 

(vi)        Application and Exclusion of Other Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, the right of first offer provided in this Section 6.14(b) shall not apply to any transfer of shares of Preferred Stock to a Permitted Transferee.

 

(c)          Drag-Along Rights.

 

(i)          If at any time Purchaser desires to accept a bona fide offer (a “Purchase Offer”) from any Person or Persons other than a Permitted Transferee of Purchaser to purchase any shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock held by Purchaser, then Purchaser shall promptly deliver to LS Purchaser a written notice which shall state Purchaser’s intention to engage in such sale transaction and set forth the terms and conditions of such transaction, including (a) the number of shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock to be sold, (b) the identity of the proposed purchaser and (c) the proposed amount of consideration and terms and conditions of payment offered by such proposed purchaser (a “Purchaser Offer Notice”). LS Purchaser hereby agrees not to disclose the existence or substance of any Purchaser Offer Notice delivered to it to any other Person (other than to LS Purchaser’s legal, tax, accounting and financial advisers, who shall agree prior to such disclosure to be bound by such non-disclosure obligation).

 

(ii)         In connection with a Purchaser Divestiture, Purchaser shall have the right to require LS Purchaser to participate in such sale by Purchaser by selling as part of the Purchaser Divestiture that number of shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock held by LS Purchaser equal to the product of (y) the number of shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock held by LS Purchaser multiplied by (z) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock that Purchaser proposes to sell in the applicable sale transaction and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock held by Purchaser (the “LS Purchaser Sale Amount”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchaser Offer Notice (a “Drag-Along Right”); provided, however, that in the event the sale of the LS Purchaser Sale Amount would cause LS Purchaser to no longer satisfy the LS Purchaser Ownership Condition (other than in the context of a Change of Control (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) or any other Purchaser Divestiture that results in LS Purchaser no longer holding any shares of Preferred Stock), the LS Purchaser Sale Amount shall be equal to the number of shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock held by LS Purchaser that may be sold while still satisfying the LS Purchaser Ownership Condition. Each Drag-Along Right shall be exercisable by Purchaser by including in the Purchaser Offer Notice applicable to a Purchaser Divestiture a statement that Purchaser elects to exercise its Drag-Along Right. At any time prior to the closing of such Purchaser Divestiture, Purchaser may withdraw its election to exercise its Drag-Along Right upon written notice to LS Purchaser.

 

(iii)        Purchaser’s exercise of its Drag-Along Right shall be subject to the following limitations: (u) the representations required to be made by LS Purchaser in the sale of shares of Preferred Stock in connection therewith shall be limited to those related to the ownership of shares of Preferred Stock; (v) terms of the sale do not include any indemnification, guaranty or similar undertaking that is not made or given on a several (and not a joint and several basis); (w) the sale does not result in liability to LS Purchaser that exceeds the fair market value of the consideration to be received by LS Purchaser in connection with the sale; (x) the terms of the sale do not impose any restriction on the ongoing business activities of LS Purchaser, such as non-compete restrictions, unless consented to by LS Purchaser; (y) the form of consideration to be received by Purchaser, or the election to receive any form of consideration offered to Purchaser, shall, in either case, be the same consideration or election offered to LS Purchaser; and (z) if the consideration offered is neither cash nor a publicly-traded security, LS Purchaser shall be entitled to receive registration rights vis-a-vis Purchaser that are no less favorable than the registration rights provided to LS Purchaser under this Agreement.

 

(iv)        The closing of the purchase and sale of any shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock to be sold by LS Purchaser pursuant to Purchaser’s exercise of the Drag-Along Right shall occur concurrently with the closing of the corresponding Purchaser Divestiture, which shall be on a date not less than one hundred and eighty (180) days, unless otherwise waived by LS Purchaser, after the giving of the Purchaser Offer Notice.

 

(d)          LS Purchaser Tag-Along Rights

 

(i)          Without limiting the applicability of Sections 6.14(b) and 6.14(c) above, Purchaser may not commence or close any sale of shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock to any Person or Persons other than to a Permitted Transferee of Purchaser or pursuant to the Purchaser Co-Sale Right unless LS Purchaser is first afforded the opportunity to participate in such transaction or transactions by selling up to that number of shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock held by LS Purchaser equal to the LS Purchaser Sale Amount on identical terms as Purchaser (the “Co-Sale Right”).

 

 

(ii)         Prior to any sale of shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock subject to these provisions (but following compliance with the requirements of Sections 6.14(b) and 6.14(c) above), Purchaser shall deliver a Purchaser Offer Notice to LS Purchaser in writing of the proposed sale (subject to the same conditions prescribed by Section 6.14(c)(i) hereof). LS Purchaser may then exercise the Co-Sale Right set forth above by delivering a written notice specifying the number of shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock to be sold by LS Purchaser (the “Tag-Along Notice”) to Purchaser within twenty (20) days of the date Purchaser delivered a Purchaser Notice to LS Purchaser. The Tag-Along Notice shall state LS Purchaser has elected to participate in the sale transaction. In connection with LS Purchaser’s exercise of the Co-Sale Right, Purchaser shall reduce the number of shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock to be sold by it in the proposed sale by that number of shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock to be sold by LS Purchaser as a result of LS Purchaser’s exercise of its Co-Sale Right. At any time prior to the closing of the applicable sale transaction, LS Purchaser may withdraw its election to exercise its Co-Sale Right upon written notice to Purchaser.

 

(iii)        If no Tag-Along Notice is received by Purchaser by the end of the twenty (20) day period referred to above, Purchaser shall have the right to effect the proposed sale of shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock within one hundred eighty (180) days of the expiration of the twenty (20) day period referred to above at a price not less than, and on terms and conditions no more favorable in any respect to Purchaser than those stated in the applicable Purchaser Officer Notice.

 

(iv)        The closing of the purchase and sale of any shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock to be sold by LS Purchaser pursuant to LS Purchaser’s exercise of the Co-Sale Right shall occur concurrently with the closing of the corresponding sale of shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock by Purchaser, which shall be on a date not less than one hundred eighty (180) days, unless otherwise waived by LS Purchaser, after the giving of the applicable Purchaser Offer Notice.

 

(e)          Purchaser Tag-Along Rights. LS Purchaser may not commence or close any sale of shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock to any Person or Persons other than to a Permitted Transferee of LS Purchaser or pursuant to the Drag-Along Right or Co-Sale Right unless Purchaser is first afforded the opportunity to participate in such transaction or transactions by selling up to that number of shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock held by Purchaser equal to Purchaser’s pro rata share of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding on identical terms as LS Purchaser (the “Purchaser Co-Sale Right”). The provisions of Section 6.14(d) shall apply to the Purchaser Co-Sale Right mutatis mutandis.

 

(f)          LS Purchaser Put Right. If the Company consummates a transaction (whether by way of merger, asset acquisition, stock acquisition, or otherwise, a “Put Transaction”) prior to June 14, 2017 which results in the Company and its Subsidiaries generating on a pro-forma basis greater than 15% of its annual revenues on a consolidated basis from providing credit and debit card processing services to merchants in the United States and its territories (including Puerto Rico) or Canada through point-of-sale dealers and developers who either (i) act as a sales or referral agents or (ii) otherwise receive compensation in connection with such credit and debit card processing services, LS Purchaser shall have the right to sell to Purchaser (in which case Purchaser shall be required to purchase from LS Purchaser) all of the shares of Preferred Stock then held by LS Purchaser at a price per share equal to the Per Share Purchase Price upon delivery of written notice thereof to Purchaser at least five days prior to the consummation of the Put Transaction. The closing of such sale of Preferred Stock shall occur contemporaneously with the consummation of the Put Transaction.

 

Section 6.15.         Piggyback Registrations.

 

(a)          Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities (including any proposed registration of the Company's equity securities by any third party) under the Securities Act (other than (i) in connection with registrations on Form S-4, S-8 or any successor or similar forms or (ii) to implement an employee benefit plan or a transaction to which Rule 145 of the Securities Act is applicable) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of shares of Underlying Common Stock (each, a "Piggyback Registration"), the Company shall give prompt written notice (and in any event within three Business Days after its receipt of notice of any exercise of demand registration rights) to LS Purchaser of its intention to effect such a registration and shall include in such registration all shares of Underlying Common Stock with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within twenty (20) days after the receipt of the Company's notice. The Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration at any time in its sole discretion.

 

 

(b)          Piggyback Expenses. The registration expenses (excluding discounts and commissions) of LS Purchaser shall be paid by the Company in all Piggyback Registrations, whether or not any such registration is consummated.

 

(c)          Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, then the Company shall include in such registration, (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell that, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering, (ii) second, the securities held by Purchaser and/or LS Purchaser requested to be included in such registration, that in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering (if any), by and between the Company and Purchaser, pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of shares of securities of the Company owned by each such holder, and (iii) third, the other securities requested to be included therein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, securities of the Company held by Purchaser or LS Purchaser) that, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering (if any), pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of shares of securities of the Company owned by each such holder.

 

(d)          Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company's securities, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders requesting such registration, then the Company shall include in such registration, (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such registration that, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering (if any), pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of shares of securities of the Company owned by each such holder; provided, that for the purposes of this clause (i) if the registration has been requested by Purchaser then LS Purchaser shall be deemed to also be a “holder requesting such registration” regardless of whether LS Purchaser was included in the original request delivered by Purchaser to the Company, (ii) second, the securities held by Purchaser and/or LS Purchaser requested to be included in such registration, that in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering (if any), in accordance with the provisions set forth in that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 11, 2013, by and between the Company and Purchaser, pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of shares of securities of the Company owned by each such holder and (iii) third, the other securities requested to be included in such registration (including, for the avoidance of doubt, securities of the Company held by Purchaser or LS Purchaser) that, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering (if any), pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of shares of securities of the Company owned by each such holder.

 

(e)          Shelf Registration. Upon the written request of LS Purchaser delivered to the Company at any time following the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Restatement Date, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, within 75 days of the Company’s receipt of such written request, a Registration Statement covering the Underlying Common Stock held by LS Purchaser, unless at such time all Underlying Common Stock held by LS Purchaser has been registered for resale pursuant to a Piggyback Registration or is eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without volume or manner of sale restrictions. For the purposes of this clause (e), the provisions of Section 1 of the Registration Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis.

 

Section 6.16.         Further Assurances; Cooperation. The Company shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to obtain satisfaction of all conditions precedent to Purchaser or LS Purchaser, as applicable, to, or otherwise to effectuate, the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating with Purchaser or LS Purchaser, as applicable, in connection with any filing or approval required to be made or obtained by Purchaser pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (or any successor act, rules or regulations).

 

 

Section 7.          Transfer of Restricted Securities.

 

Section 7.1.          General Provisions. Restricted Securities are transferable only pursuant to (a) public offerings registered under the Securities Act, (b) Rule 144 or Rule 144A of the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any similar rule or rules then in force) if such rule is available and (c) subject to the conditions and restrictions specified in Section 7.2 and in the other Transaction Agreements, any other legally available means of transfer.

 

Section 7.2.          Opinion Delivery. In connection with the transfer of any Restricted Securities under Section 7.1, the holder thereof shall deliver written notice to the Company describing in reasonable detail the transfer or proposed transfer, together with an opinion of Kirkland & Ellis LLP or other counsel which (to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction) is knowledgeable in securities Law matters to the effect that such transfer of Restricted Securities may be effected without registration of such Restricted Securities under the Securities Act; provided, however, that no such opinion need be delivered by such holder for any transfer of any Restricted Securities under Section 7.1 to any Affiliate of such holder or any of its limited partners. In addition, if the holder of the Restricted Securities delivers to the Company an opinion of Kirkland & Ellis LLP or such other counsel that no subsequent transfer of such Restricted Securities shall require registration under the Securities Act, promptly upon such contemplated transfer the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver new certificates for such Restricted Securities which do not bear the Securities Act legend set forth in Section 7.3(a). If the Company is not required to cause its transfer agent to deliver new certificates for such Restricted Securities not bearing such legend, the holder thereof shall not transfer the same until the prospective transferee has confirmed to the Company in writing its agreement to be bound by the conditions contained in this Section 7.

 

Section 7.3.          Legend; Legend Removal.

 

(a)          Each certificate or instrument representing Restricted Securities shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT (A) SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (I) IN A TRANSACTION NOT INVOLVING A PUBLIC OFFERING, (II) PURSUANT TO ANY OTHER EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, INCLUDING RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE), (III) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (IV) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, IN EACH OF CASES (I) THROUGH (IV) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL NOTIFY ANY SUBSEQUENT PURCHASER OF SUCH SECURITIES FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN (A) ABOVE. SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF OCTOBER 18, 2016, BETWEEN JETPAY CORPORATION AND THE PURCHASERS IDENTIFIED THEREIN.”

 

(b)          If any Restricted Securities become eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Company shall, upon the request of the holder of such Restricted Securities, cause its transfer agent to remove the legend set forth in Section 7.3(a) from the certificates for such Restricted Securities.

 

Section 7.4.          Rule 144A. Upon the request of Purchaser or LS Purchaser, the Company shall promptly supply to Purchaser, LS Purchaser or their prospective transferees all information regarding the Company required to be delivered in connection with a transfer pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

 

Section 8.          Representations and Warranties of the Company. As a material inducement to Purchaser and LS Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and purchase the Preferred Stock hereunder, the Company hereby represents and warrants that:

 

Section 8.1.          Organization and Corporate Power. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business in every jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The copies of the Company’s and each Subsidiary’s Organizational Documents which have been furnished to Purchaser reflect all amendments made thereto at any time prior to the date of this Agreement and are correct and complete.

 

Section 8.2.          Capital Stock and Related Matters.

 

(a)          As of the Restatement Date and immediately thereafter, the authorized Capital Stock of the Company shall consist of (i) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, 134,000 of which are designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 9,000 of which are designated as Series A-1 Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”) and 9,000 of which are designated as Series A-2 Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Series A-2 Preferred Stock”), and (ii) 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 17,682,903 shares shall be issued and outstanding, 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock shall be reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock shall be reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the Series A-2 Preferred Stock. As of the Restatement Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall have outstanding any stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for any shares of its Capital Stock or other equity securities or containing any profit participation features, nor shall it have outstanding any warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase its Capital Stock or other equity securities or any stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for its Capital Stock or other equity securities or any stock appreciation rights or phantom stock plans, except for the Preferred Stock issued to Purchaser and LS Purchaser and except as set forth on the attached Capitalization Schedule. The Capitalization Schedule accurately sets forth the following information with respect to all outstanding warrants, options and other rights to acquire the Company’s Capital Stock and other equity securities: the holder, the number of shares covered, the issuance date, the exercise price, any applicable vesting schedule and the expiration date. As of the Restatement Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall be subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire any shares of its Capital Stock or other equity securities or any warrants, options or other rights to acquire its Capital Stock or other equity securities, except as set forth on the Capitalization Schedule and except pursuant to the Certificates of Designation with respect to the Preferred Stock, the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the Series A-2 Preferred Stock. As of the Restatement Date, all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Capital Stock shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free and clear of any Lien (other than pursuant to the Transaction Agreements), and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock has been duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance and, when issued in compliance with the provisions of the Certificate of Designation, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free and clear of any Lien (other than pursuant to the Transaction Agreements); provided that the Company’s Capital Stock shall be subject to restrictions on transfer under applicable state and/or federal securities Laws. The Capitalization Schedule accurately sets forth the Closing Price of the Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of this Agreement.

 

(b)          There are no statutory or contractual stockholders’ preemptive rights or rights of refusal with respect to the issuance of the Preferred Stock hereunder or the issuance of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. The Company has not violated any applicable federal or state securities Laws in connection with the offer, sale or issuance of any of its Capital Stock. The Company is not party to any agreement, and to the Company’s Knowledge, there are no agreements between the Company’s stockholders with respect to the voting or transfer of the Company’s Capital Stock or with respect to any other aspect of the Company’s affairs, except for the Transaction Agreements.

 

Section 8.3.          Subsidiaries; Investments. The attached Subsidiary Schedule correctly sets forth the name of each Subsidiary, the jurisdiction of its organization and the Persons owning the outstanding Capital Stock or other equity securities of such Subsidiary. Each Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, possesses all requisite corporate or other applicable entity power and authority. All of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock or other equity securities of each Subsidiary are validly issued, full paid and nonassessable, and all such shares or securities are owned by the Company or another Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien and are not subject to any option or right to purchase any such shares or securities, except as set forth on the Subsidiary Schedule. Except as set forth on the Subsidiary Schedule, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary owns or holds the right to acquire any shares of stock or any other security or ownership interest in any other Person.

 

 

Section 8.4.          Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and all other Transaction Agreements, the filing of the Certificate of Designation and the amendment of the Company’s bylaws have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. This Agreement, the Certificate of Designation and all other Transaction Agreements each constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or general equitable principles. A majority of the holders of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock have executed an action by written consent in form and substance as set forth in Exhibit F (the “Stockholder Consent”) approving the issuance of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all the shares of Preferred Stock and the Company has delivered such executed consent to Purchaser.

 

Section 8.5.          No Breach. The Company is not in violation or default of any provision of its Certificate of Incorporation or other Organizational Documents, each as in effect as of the Closing. Except as set forth on the Restrictions Schedule, the execution, delivery, and performance of and compliance with this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements and the offering, issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock and the conversion of the Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock and the fulfillment of and compliance with the respective terms hereof and thereof by the Company do not and shall not (a) conflict with or violate any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation (including the Certificate of Designation) or other Organizational Documents, (b) conflict with or violate any applicable Law (which conflict or violation would be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole) or any applicable judgment, order or decree of any Governmental Authority, (c) conflict with or result in any breach of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give rise to any right to termination, acceleration or cancellation under any Material Contract or result in the creation of any material mortgage, pledge, Lien, encumbrance, or charge upon any of the Capital Stock, properties or assets of the Company, or the suspension, revocation, impairment or forfeiture of any material permit, license, authorization, or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations, or any of its assets or properties or (d) require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or other action by or notice or declaration to, or filing with, any Governmental Entity pursuant to, the Certificate of Incorporation or the other Organizational Documents of the Company or any Subsidiary, or any Law to which the Company or any Subsidiary is subject, or any material agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Company or any Subsidiary is subject. Except as set forth on the Restrictions Schedule, none of the Subsidiaries are subject to any restrictions upon making loans or advances or paying dividends or distributions to, transferring property to, or repaying any Indebtedness owed to, the Company or another Subsidiary.

All of the representations and warranties (i) of the Company contained in Section 8 above (other than the Fundamental Representations applicable to the Company and the representations set forth in Section 8.13), (ii) of Purchasers contained in Section 9 (other than the Fundamental Representations applicable to Purchasers) and (iii) of the Company or Purchasers contained in any Transaction Agreements or in any certificate, schedule or other agreement delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall survive the applicable Closing hereunder (even if Purchasers knew or had reason to know of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty at the time of Closing) and continue in full force and effect for a period of eighteen months thereafter from the date made. All of the Fundamental Representations of the parties contained in this Agreement and the representations of the Company set forth in Section 8.13 shall survive the applicable Closing (even if the damaged party knew or had reason to know of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty at the time of applicable Closing) and continue in full force and effect from the date made until 30 days following the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations (including any extension thereto).

 

 

Section 10.2.          Indemnification.

 

(a)          General. In consideration of Purchasers’ execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Preferred Stock hereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Purchasers and each other holder of Preferred Stock and all of their officers, directors, managers, stockholders, partners, members, employees and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against Indemnified Liabilities, incurred directly or indirectly by the Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any claims by any third party relating to (x) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Preferred Stock or (y) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement and any other instrument, document or agreement executed pursuant hereto by any Indemnitee, (ii) a breach of a representation or warranty by the Company or any Subsidiary hereunder, under any Transaction Agreements or in any certificate or other agreement delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (iii) a breach of a covenant by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under this Agreement, the Certificate of Designation or any instrument, certificate or other document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (iv) the Direct Air Matter, including, without limitation any amounts set-off, seized or claimed by Merrick out of the Designated Assets, net of any recovery actually received in cash by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from a third party or by WLES’ forfeiture to the Company of Escrowed Shares, provided that for purposes of this Section 10.2(a)(iv), the value of each Escrowed Share shall be deemed to be the lesser of (1) the Implied Value and (2) $3.00 (as adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, and similar actions affecting such Escrowed Shares, as applicable) or (v) any of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiary’s dealings, transactions, agreements, arrangements or disputes with EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. or any of its Affiliates but only to the extent in excess of the amounts expensed and accrued in connection with the contingencies related to the dispute with EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. as set forth in the financial statements of the Company and set forth on Schedule 10.2(a) hereto; it being acknowledged and agreed that the amount of any Indemnified Liabilities sustained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries related to the matters referenced in the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) (or any facts and circumstances underlying such matters) shall constitute indirect losses to the Indemnitees for which the Indemnitees are indemnified.

 

(b)          Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding Section 10.2(a), other than with respect to any breach of any Fundamental Representations or Section 8.13, (i) no claims by the Indemnitees pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(ii) may be payable unless and until the aggregate amount of Indemnified Liabilities that would otherwise be payable hereunder when claimed exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to the greater of (i) one percent of the aggregate purchase price of all Preferred Stock purchased by Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) $200,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities exceed the Deductible and (ii) the aggregate amount of payments to which the Indemnitees shall be entitled in satisfaction of claims for Indemnified Liabilities pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(ii) shall in no event exceed the aggregate purchase price of all Preferred Stock purchased by Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(c)          Materiality. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 10 of determining whether there has been a breach and the amount of Indemnified Liabilities, each representation and warranty in this Agreement, and any other instrument, certificate document or agreement executed pursuant hereto shall be read without regard and without giving effect to the terms “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” or similar phrases contained in such representation or warranty (as if such words or phrases were deleted from such representation and warranty).

 

(d)          Subject to Section 10.2(b), in the event of an indemnification claim by any Indemnitee pursuant to Section 10.2(a), the then applicable conversion price with respect to the Preferred Stock set forth in the Certificate of Designation (as the same may have been adjusted from time to time) shall be automatically reduced by an amount equal to the product of (i) $3.00 (as adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, and similar actions affecting the Preferred Stock, as applicable), which is the conversion price in effect as of the date of this Agreement multiplied by (ii) the result of (A) the amount of Indemnified Liabilities subject to such indemnification claim divided by (B) the Deemed Common Equity Value (for illustrative purposes, if the Company has agreed to pay $5,000,000 to settle the Direct Air Matter (ignoring for purposes of this illustration any related costs and expenses), then the amount of Indemnified Liabilities is $5,000,000 and the Deemed Common Equity Value is $34,587,282, which would result in a conversion price adjustment equal to $3.00 X ($5,000,000/$34,587,282), which equals a reduction in the conversion price of ~$0.437 per share); provided, however, that if the foregoing conversion price adjustment would cause the adjusted conversion price to be zero or a negative number, then the adjusted conversion price shall be deemed to be $0.001 (as adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, and similar actions affecting the Preferred Stock, as applicable); provided, further, that if the indemnification claim is for Indemnified Liabilities relating to or arising out of a breach of a covenant by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under this Agreement, the Certificate of Designation or any instrument, certificate or other document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, then Purchaser or LS Purchaser may, at its sole option, elect to be paid in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, for such Indemnified Liabilities.

 

 

Section 11.         Termination Prior to the Initial Closing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Initial Closing:

 

(a)          by the mutual written consent of Purchaser and the Company;

 

(b)          by Purchaser or the Company, upon written notice to the other party, if the Initial Closing shall not have been consummated on or prior to November 22, 2013 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11(b) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement results in or causes the failure of the Initial Closing to occur by such time;

 

(c)          by Purchaser or the Company, upon written notice to the other party, if a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction has issued a decision, injunction, judgment, order, ruling, verdict, writ or any other action permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, and such decision, injunction, judgment, order, ruling, verdict, writ or any other action has become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11(c) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement results in or causes such decision, injunction, judgment, order, ruling, verdict, writ or other action;

 

(d)          by Purchaser, upon written notice to the Company, if (i) there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company in this Agreement, such that the conditions to the Initial Closing set forth in Section 3 would not be satisfied and (ii) such breach is not cured (if curable) within thirty days after delivery of such notice; provided that this Section 11(d) shall only apply if Purchaser is not in material breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement; or

 

(e)          by Purchaser, upon written notice to the Company, in the event the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (a) become subject to any judgment, order, ruling or verdict, or settle or agree to settle any claim, dispute or litigation, in each case that results in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries becoming liable, net of insurance proceeds actually received (i) with respect to Merrick and arising out of or related to the Direct Air Matter, for an amount that, individually or in the aggregate, is not solely satisfied out of the Escrowed Shares (and without the payment of cash by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and/or the Designated Assets or (ii) in the case of any other third-party (including, without limitation, any sponsoring bank other than Merrick) or Merrick for any matter not arising out of or related to the Direct Air Matter, for an amount, individually or in the aggregate, equal to or exceeding $2,500,000 or (b) become subject to any claim made by any sponsoring bank or other third party which would reasonably be expected to cause the Company or its Subsidiaries to be liable, individually or in the aggregate, for an amount that is not solely satisfied out of the Escrowed Shares (and without the payment of cash by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and/or the Designated Assets (in the case of any claims by Merrick arising out of or related to the Direct Air Matter) or $2,500,000 (in the case of any other claim by any third party, including by Merrick for any claim not arising out of or related to the Direct Air Matter), as applicable.

 

In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 11, such termination shall not relieve any party of liability for any breaches of this Agreement that occurred prior to such termination and notwithstanding any such termination, the provisions of Section 12 shall not terminate and shall be deemed to survive any such termination.

 

Section 12.         General Provisions.

 

Section 12.1.          Expenses. Except as set forth on Schedule 12.1, the Company shall pay, and hold Purchaser and all holders of Preferred Stock and Underlying Common Stock harmless against liability for the payment of, (a) Purchaser’s and LS Purchaser’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of Purchaser’s and LS Purchaser’s legal counsel and accounting advisor arising in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement which shall be paid at the Initial Closing or Subsequent Closing, as applicable, or, if the Initial Closing does not occur, paid upon demand, (b) the reasonable fees and expenses incurred with respect to any amendments or waivers (whether or not the same become effective) under or in respect of this Agreement, the Transaction Agreements, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Certificate of Designation, (c) stamp and other taxes which may be payable in respect of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the issuance, delivery or acquisition of any shares of Preferred Stock or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock and (d) the reasonable fees and expenses incurred with respect to the enforcement of the rights granted under this Agreement, the Transaction Agreements, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Certificate of Designation. In addition, the Company shall promptly reimburse Purchaser, LS Purchaser and their directors, officers, managers, employees, agents and representatives for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of such Persons incurred in connection with attending regular and special board meetings, any meeting of any board committee, and any other meeting or activity attended or taken on behalf of or for the benefit of the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the expenses of LS Purchaser reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed $50,000 in the aggregate.

 

 

Section 12.2.          Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, no term of this Agreement may be amended or modified without the prior written consent of the Company and Purchasers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived except in a writing executed and delivered by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced. The failure or delay of any Person to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such Person thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. A waiver of consent to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person under this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements, shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock held by the Company or any Subsidiaries shall not be deemed to be outstanding.

 

Section 12.3.          Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under applicable Law in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be affected only to the extent of such prohibition, illegality, unenforceability or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.

 

Section 12.4.          Remedies. Each holder of Preferred Stock and Underlying Common Stock shall have all rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Certificate of Designation and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any Law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm and money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach and that, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing hereunder, any party shall be entitled to specific performance and/or other injunctive relief from any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent any violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 12.5.          Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns whether so expressed or not. In addition, whether or not any express assignment has been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for Purchasers’ benefit as a purchaser or holder of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock are also for the benefit of, and enforceable by, any subsequent holder of such Preferred Stock or such Underlying Common Stock.

 

Section 12.6.          Notices. Any notice, demand or other communication to be given under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (i) when delivered personally to the recipient, (ii) when sent by confirmed facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; but if not, then on the next Business Day (provided that any such notice under this clause (ii) shall not be effective unless within one Business Day after the notice is sent, a copy of such notice is sent to the recipient by first-class mail, return receipt requested, or reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid)), (iii) one Business Day after it is sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) or (iv) three Business Days after it is mailed to the recipient by first-class mail, return receipt requested.

Section 12.9.          Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. As a specifically bargained inducement for each of the parties hereto to enter into this Agreement (with each party having had opportunity to consult counsel), each party hereto expressly and irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury in any lawsuit or other legal proceeding relating to or arising in any way from this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements or the transactions contemplated herein, and any lawsuit or other legal proceeding relating to or arising in any way to this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements or the transactions contemplated herein shall be tried in a court of competent jurisdiction by a judge sitting without a jury.

THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT SHALL PROPERLY AND EXCLUSIVELY LIE IN THE CHANCERY COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND ANY STATE APPELLATE COURT THEREFROM WITHIN THE STATE OF DELAWARE (OR, IF THE CHANCERY COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE DECLINES TO ACCEPT JURISDICTION OVER A PARTICULAR MATTER, ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT WITHIN THE STATE OF DELAWARE). BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT VENUE WOULD BE PROPER IN SUCH COURT AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THAT ANY SUCH COURT IS AN IMPROPER OR INCONVENIENT FORUM FOR THE RESOLUTION OF SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. EACH OF THE PARTIES FURTHER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 12.6. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

Section 12.11.         Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective immediately upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties hereto.

 

Section 12.12.         Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than by limitation.

 

Section 12.13.         No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or non-U.S. statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word ‘‘including’’ shall mean including without limitation. For purposes of Sections 6.1, 6.4 and 6.8, the definition of “Minimum Ownership Condition” and the definition “LS Purchaser Ownership Condition,” the terms “Purchaser” and “LS Purchaser” shall include any Permitted Transferee of Purchaser or LS Purchaser, as applicable, who has received shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying Common Stock pursuant to a direct or indirect distribution or transfer from, or a liquidation of, Purchaser or LS Purchaser, as applicable. For purposes of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements, all holdings of Preferred Stock and Underlying Common Stock by Persons who are Affiliates of each other shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting any threshold tests under this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements.

 

Section 12.14.         Electronic Delivery. This Agreement, the agreements referred to herein, and each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent executed and delivered by means of a photographic, photostatic, facsimile, or similar reproduction of such signed writing using a facsimile machine or electronic mail shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or electronic mail to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or electronic mail as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

 

 

Section 12.15.         Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement and the other agreements and instruments referred to herein contain the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements and representations by or among the parties hereto (whether written or oral) which may have related to the subject matter hereof or thereof in any way.

 

Section 12.16.         Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in multiple counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

 

Section 12.17.         Capital and Surplus; Special Reserves. The Company agrees that the capital of the Company (as such term is used in Section 154 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware) in respect of the Preferred Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be equal to the aggregate par value of such shares and that it shall not increase the capital of the Company with respect to any shares of the Company’s Capital Stock at any time on or after the date of this Agreement. The Company also agrees that it shall not create any special reserves under Section 171 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware without the prior written consent of the holders of at least 50% of the outstanding Preferred Stock.

 

Section 12.18.         Treatment of the Preferred Stock. The Company covenants and agrees that (a) so long as federal income Tax Laws prohibit a deduction for distributions made by the Company with respect to equity interests, it shall treat all distributions paid by it on the Preferred Stock as Non-deductible dividends on all of its Tax Returns and (b) it shall treat the Preferred Stock as equity interests in all of its financial statements and other reports and shall treat all distributions paid by it on the Preferred Stock as dividends on equity interests in such statements and reports. The Company and Purchasers mutually agree that the Preferred Stock is stock which participates in corporate growth to a significant extent within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.305-5(a), and hence will not be treated as preferred stock for purposes of Code Section 305 and the regulations thereunder.

 

Section 12.19.         Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. When any accounting determination or calculation is required to be made under this Agreement or the exhibits hereto, such determination or calculation (unless otherwise provided) shall be made in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, except that if because of a change in GAAP the Company would have to alter a previously utilized accounting method or policy in order to remain in compliance with GAAP, such determination or calculation shall continue to be made in accordance with the Company’s previous accounting methods and policies, unless otherwise directed by the holders of at least 50% of the outstanding Preferred Stock.

 

Section 12.20.         Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement (implied or otherwise) is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.
