(b) Capitalization.  The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock, consisting of 18,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, 16,362,500 shares of which are issued and outstanding, and 57,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, of which 30,387,500 shares are issued and outstanding and owned by Seller and 16,362,500 shares of Class B Common Stock are reserved for issuance upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, and all of such outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and are validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable.  All of the Purchased Shares are free of all Liens (including any option, right of first refusal, proxy, voting trust or agreement, or Transfer restriction under any stockholder or similar agreement) and restrictions on Transfer other than restrictions on Transfer under applicable federal and state securities Laws and under the 2009 Transaction Documents.  All outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company were issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities Laws.  No shares of preferred stock are authorized, issued or outstanding, and no shares of Common Stock or preferred stock are held by the Company in its treasury.  The Company has reserved 8,250,000 shares of Class B Common Stock for issuance to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company pursuant to its 2009 Equity Incentive Plan duly adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors and approved by the Company’s stockholders.  Of such reserved shares of Common Stock, no shares have been issued pursuant to restricted stock purchase agreements, options to purchase 6,364,300 shares have been granted and are currently outstanding, and 1,885,700 shares of Class B Common Stock remain available for issuance to officers, directors, employees and consultants pursuant to the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan.  The Company has furnished to the Purchasers complete and accurate copies of the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan and forms of agreements used thereunder.  Except as set forth in this Section 4(b), no awards have been granted under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, and, except as
 

 
6

 

set forth in the 2009 Transaction Documents, there is no existing option, warrant, call, right or Contract of any character to which the Company is a party requiring, and there are no securities of the Company outstanding which upon conversion or exchange would require, the issuance, sale or Transfer of any additional shares of capital stock or other equity securities of the Company or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of capital stock or other equity securities of the Company.  Schedule 4(b) sets forth the capitalization of the Company as of the date of this Agreement, including the number of shares of the following: (i) issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, including, with respect to restricted Class B Common Stock, if any, vesting schedule and repurchase price; (ii) issued stock options, including vesting schedule and exercise price; (iii) stock options not yet issued but reserved for issuance; and (iv) warrants and other stock purchase rights, if any.  Except as set forth in the 2009 Transaction Documents, none of the Company, Parent and Seller is a party to any voting trust or other Contract with respect to the voting, redemption, sale, Transfer or other disposition of the capital stock of the Company other than the 2009 Transaction Documents.
 
(c) Authority; Noncontravention.
 
(i) Each of the Company, Parent and Seller has all necessary corporate power, authority and legal capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (collectively, the “Transactions”).  The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance by the Company, Parent and Seller of their respective obligations hereunder, and the consummation by the Company, Parent and Seller of the Transactions, have been duly authorized and approved by such Party’s board of directors and no other corporate action on the part of such Party is necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by such Party of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, except for (A) the approval of this Agreement by the Required Parent Stockholder Vote and (B) the requisite approvals contemplated by Section 4(c)(i).  This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company, Parent and Seller and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof and thereof by the Purchaser, constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the Company, Parent and Seller, enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability (x) may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws of general application affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (y) is subject to general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at Law or in equity.
 
(ii) None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, Parent and Seller, the consummation by the Company, Parent and Seller of this Agreement, or compliance by the Company, Parent and Seller with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, will conflict with or result in a violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or give rise to any obligation of such Party to make any material payment under, or to the increased, additional, accelerated or guaranteed rights or entitlements of any Person under, or result in the creation of any Liens upon any of the properties or assets of such Party or any Subsidiary of such Party under, any provision of (A) the certificate of incorporation and bylaws or other comparable organizational documents of such

(iii) Company Board Actions.  The boards of directors of Parent, Seller and the Company, at respective meetings duly called and held, have (A) determined that the Transactions are fair to, and in the best interests of, Parent, Seller and the Company, respectively, and their respective stockholders, (B) declared the advisability of and duly approved this Agreement and the Transactions, (C) in the cases of Parent and Seller, resolved to recommend that their respective stockholders authorize the Transactions, and (D) to the extent necessary, adopted a resolution having the effect of causing the Company not to be subject to any state Takeover Law or similar Law that might otherwise apply to the Transactions, and, as of the date hereof, none of the aforesaid actions by the boards of directors of Parent, Seller or the Company have been amended, rescinded or modified.
 
(d) Valid Issuance of Purchased Shares.
 
(i) The Purchased Shares are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, and free of all Liens, except Liens in favor of holders of the Notes, and restrictions on Transfer other than restrictions on Transfer under applicable federal and state securities Laws and under the 2009 Transaction Documents.  Based in part upon the representations of the Purchaser in Article 5, the Purchased Shares, upon transfer to the Purchaser, shall have been transferred in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities Laws and free of all Liens.
