24


documents incorporated by reference therein, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”). None of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a 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.

Subject to the satisfaction of the Approval Conditions, the amendments and transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance and sale of the Conversion Shares, the Subordinated Conversion Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Subordinated Conversion Shares do not contravene, or require any stockholder approval, pursuant to Applicable Laws or the rules and regulations of NASDAQ. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, the Convertible Notes and the Conversion Shares will not contain or be subject to any legend or stop transfer instructions restricting the sale or transferability thereof.

25


(x) All Obligations constitute senior secured Indebtedness entitled to the benefits of the subordination and/or intercreditor provisions contained in the applicable subordination and/or intercreditor agreements governing any subordinated Indebtedness.

(xi) The security interests and Liens granted in the Collateral pursuant to the Loan Documents (A) constitute valid and continuing perfected security interests and Liens in all of the Grantors’ rights in the Collateral (other than motor vehicles owned by the Loan Parties and used by employees of the Loan Parties in the ordinary course of business and Commercial Tort Claims with a value of $25,000 or less) in favor of Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) as collateral security for the Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms of the Facility Agreement and the Security Agreement; and (B) shall be prior to all other Liens on the Collateral except for Permitted Liens having priority over Agent’s Lien by operation of law, in each case, except as expressly stated otherwise in Section 4.2 of the Security Agreement or in the Facility Agreement.

(b) Representations and Warranties of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby severally represents and warrants to each Loan Party as follows as of the date hereof and as of the First Amendment Effective Date:

(i) Such Lender is validly existing as a limited partnership and is in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation. Such Lender has full power and authority to (to (x) enter into, and perform its obligations under, this Amendment and the other Loan Documents (as shall be amended hereby upon date of this Agreement and the First Amendment Effective Date, as applicable) and consummate the transactions contemplated under this Amendment and the other Loan Documents (as shall be amended hereby upon the date of this Agreement and the First Amendment Effective Date, as applicable).

(ii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment has been duly authorized by such Lender. This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by such Lender and constitutes, and each of the other Loan Documents (as shall be amended hereby on the date of this Agreement and the First Amendment Effective Date, as applicable) to which such Lender is party will constitute, a valid, legal and binding obligation of such Lender, enforceable against such Lender in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles. The execution, delivery and performance by such Lender of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents (as shall be amended hereby on the date of this Agreement and the First Amendment Effective Date, as applicable) to which such Lender is party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein will not (A) result in any violation of or conflict with the provisions of the Organizational Documents of such Lender, or (B) result in the violation of any judgment, order, rule, regulation or decree of any Governmental Authority to which such Lender is subject, except, with respect to this clause (B) only, as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to materially and adversely affect such Lender’s ability to perform its obligations under this Amendment or consummate the transactions

 

26


contemplated hereby on a timely basis. Except as expressly contemplated hereby or by the Subordinated Loan Agreement, no consent, approval, Authorization or order of, or registration or filing with any Governmental Authority is required for (i) the execution, delivery or performance by such Lender of this Amendment, and (ii) the consummation by such Lender of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(iii) Such Lender has held such Lender’s Loan Note of record and beneficially for a period of at least one year and is not, and during the three-month period prior to the date hereof has not been, an Affiliate of the Borrower.

(iv) Such Lender is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and valid title to, such Lender’s Loan Note, free and clear of all Liens, and has full power to dispose thereof and to exercise all rights thereunder (other than as restricted by this Amendment, the Loan Notes and the Facility Agreement).

(v) Each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.3 of the Facility Agreement are true, correct and complete in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein) as of the First Amendment Effective Date (in each case, as if made on such date), except to the extent that such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date (in which event such representation or warranty is true, complete and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein) as of such earlier date).

SECTION 5. Covenants.

(a) On and after the First Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower shall at all times reserve and keep available, free of preemptive or similar rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Borrower to issue all of the Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to the Convertible Notes, assuming at any time that all future conversion of the Convertible Notes are effected at the Floor Price (as defined in the Convertible Notes).

(b) The Borrower shall take such action, if any, as is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Conversion Shares for, issuance and sale to the Lenders under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any of the Lenders.

(c) The Borrower shall be responsible for paying all Other Taxes imposed on the issuance of any Conversion Shares.

(d) The Borrower shall comply with its obligations under Section 5.1(x) of the Subordinated Loan Agreement in all respects.

(e) At or prior to 8:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of this Amendment, the Borrower shall file a Form 8-K with the SEC describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment and the Subordinated Loan Documents entered into on the date of this Amendment and including as exhibits to such Form 8-K this Amendment and the Subordinated Loan Agreement (such Form 8-K, the “Announcing Facility Amendment Form 8-K”). At or prior to 8:30 a.m. (New York City time)

 

27


on the first (1st) Business Day following the First Amendment Effective Date or any termination of this Amendment and such Subordinated Loan Agreement, the Borrower shall file a Form 8-K with the SEC describing the consummation of the applicable transactions contemplated by this this Amendment and the Subordinated Loan Agreement that occurred on the First Amendment Effective Date or such termination, as applicable (such Form 8-K, the “Closing Facility Amendment Form 8-K”), and disclosing any other then presently material non-public information (if any) provided or made available to any Secured Party (or any such Secured Party’s agents or representatives) by the Borrower or any other Loan Party on or prior to the filing of the Closing Facility Amendment Form 8-K. Subject to the foregoing, after the filing of the Closing Facility Amendment Form 8-K, no Loan Party will issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Amendment or such Subordinated Loan Documents or disclosing the name of any Secured Party without the prior consent of such Secured Party; provided, however, that the Borrower will be entitled, without the prior approval of any Secured Party, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with, or derived from the same information contained in, the Announcing Facility Amendment Form 8-K or the Closing Facility Amendment Form 8-K or the proxy materials filed with the SEC in connection with obtaining the Stockholder Approval, or (ii) as is required by Applicable Law and regulations (provided that each Secured Party will be consulted by the Borrower in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release and will be provided with a copy thereof by the Borrower, other than periodic reports required by the Exchange Act to be made with the SEC, which Borrower may file without such consultation or notice). Upon each of (X) the Borrower’s filing with the SEC of its definitive proxy statement in connection with obtaining the Stockholder Approval, and (Y) the Borrower’s filing with the SEC of the Closing Facility Amendment Form 8-K, no Secured Party shall be in possession of any material nonpublic information received from the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Amendment prior to the date of such filing. After giving effect to the filing of the Closing Facility Amendment Form 8-K, the Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that no Secured Party shall have any duty of trust or confidence with respect to, or duty not to trade in any securities on the basis of, any material nonpublic information regarding the Borrower that is otherwise possessed (or continued to be possessed) by any Secured Party that was received from the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Amendment. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the parties to this Amendment acknowledges and agrees that no Lender nor any Affiliate of any Lender shall be deemed to be in possession of any material nonpublic information provided to Agent unless and until Agent actually provides such information to such Lender or Affiliate thereof (as applicable). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this 5(d) shall limit, or otherwise affect the provisions of, Section 5.1(r) of the Facility Agreement (including in respect of the period between the date of this Agreement and the First Amendment Effective Date).

(f) After the First Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower shall file a Registration Statement covering the resale by the Lenders of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Subordinated Conversion Shares (or directly upon conversion of the Subordinated Notes) as contemplated by, in accordance with, the Registration Rights Agreement

 

28


as amended hereby upon the First Amendment Effective Date); provided that, such Registration Statement shall be filed not later than the first registration statement filed by the Borrower with the SEC in respect of any other shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Subordinated Conversion Shares (or directly upon conversion of the Subordinated Notes). For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Investors (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) shall be entitled to registration rights in respect of such shares of Common Stock on the same terms, and pursuant to and in accordance with, the Registration Rights Agreement, and the Registration Rights Agreement shall be deemed amended as of the First Amendment Effective Date as shall be necessary to give effect to the foregoing.

SECTION 6. Efforts; Termination. Each of the Loan Parties agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to satisfy the conditions to the effectiveness of the amendments to the Facility Agreement and the other Loan Documents set forth herein prior to the Termination Date (as defined below). This Amendment shall terminate, and be of no further force or effect, upon the earlier (such earlier date, the “Termination Date”) of (a) the termination or expiration of the Subordinated Loan Agreement prior to the funding of the “Initial Disbursement” (as defined in the Subordinated Loan Agreement) and (b) February 25, 2019 if each of the “Initial Disbursement Date” (as defined in the Subordinated Loan Agreement) and the First Amendment Effective Date have not occurred on or prior to such date; provided, however, that, the Immediately Effective Amendments and the Loan Parties’ obligations under Section 7 (Fees, Costs and Expense Reimbursement), Section 13 (Governing Law) and Section 17 (Release) shall survive any such termination and remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 7. Fees, Costs and Expense Reimbursement. In connection with the Agent and the Lenders party hereto agreeing to enter into this Amendment and provide the accommodations hereunder, the Loan Parties agree to pay on the date of this Amendment all fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Secured Parties in connection with this Amendment and any other Loan Document and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

SECTION 8. Captions. Captions used in this Amendment are for convenience only and shall not modify or affect the interpretation or construction of this Amendment or any of its provisions.

SECTION 9. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in several counterparts, and by each party hereto on separate counterparts, each of which and any photocopies, facsimile copies and other electronic methods of transmission thereof shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

SECTION 10. Severability. If any provision of this Amendment shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any Applicable Law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good faith 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 provision.

 

29


SECTION 11. Entire Agreement. This Amendment and the other Loan Documents (including as shall be amended hereby on the First Amended Effective Date) contain the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the matters covered hereby and thereby and supersede any and all other written and oral communications, negotiations, commitments and writings with respect thereto.

SECTION 12. Successors; Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon Borrower, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Borrower, the Loan Parties, the Lenders, Agent and the other Secured Parties and the successors and assigns of the Lenders, Agent and the other Secured Parties. No other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Amendment or any of the other Loan Documents, except as expressly provided in Section 17 hereof and Section 6.11 of the Facility Agreement. No Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Amendment without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender, and any prohibited assignment or transfer shall be absolutely void ab initio.

SECTION 13. Governing Law; Etc. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE. Section 6.4 of the Facility Agreement is incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 14. Reaffirmation and Ratification.

(a) Each Loan Party hereto as debtor, grantor, pledgor, guarantor, assignor, or in any other similar capacity in which such Person grants Liens in its property or otherwise acts as accommodation party or guarantor, as the case may be pursuant to the Loan Documents, hereby (i) ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment and performance obligations, contingent or otherwise, under the Facility Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party (after giving effect hereto) and (ii) ratifies and reaffirms all Liens and security interests granted in such Loan Party’s property and assets pursuant to any Loan Documents and all guarantees of the Obligations under the Loan Documents (and the validity and enforceability thereof) and confirms and agrees and acknowledges that such Liens, security interests and guarantees, and all Collateral heretofore pledged as security for the Obligations, continue to be and remain Collateral and security for the Obligations from and after the date hereof. Each Loan Party hereto hereby consents to this Amendment and acknowledges that the Facility Agreement and each other Loan Document remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and reaffirmed. The execution and delivery of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Agent, the Lenders or any other Secured Party, constitute a waiver of any provision of the Facility Agreement or any other Loan Document or serve to effect a novation of any obligations (including the Obligations).

 

30


(b) Each Loan Party hereby ratifies, reaffirms and confirms each Loan Document to which it is a party, and its payment and performance obligations, contingent or otherwise, thereunder and does hereby acknowledge that any rights granted thereby in favor of Agent (for its benefit and the benefit of the other Secured Parties) are and shall remain in full force and effect subsequent to the date of this Amendment and the First Amendment Effective Date, as though each such Loan Document was executed in full by such Loan Party as of the date hereof, subject to any amendments made to the Loan Documents pursuant to this Amendment on the the date of this Amendment or the First Amendment Effective Date. Each Loan Party also hereby ratifies, reaffirms and confirms all prior and/or concurrent grants of security interests and Liens or “control” (within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 under the applicable UCC, “Control”) in favor of Agent or any other Secured Party in all of such Loan Party’s right, title, and interest in, to, and under the Collateral under each Loan Document.

(c) Each Loan Party confirms and agrees that to the extent that any such Loan Document purports to assign or pledge to Agent or any Secured Party or to grant to Agent or any other Secured Party a security interest in or Lien on, any collateral (including the Collateral) or to provide Control to Agent or any other Secured Party as security for the obligations (including the Obligations) of any Loan Party, as the case may be, from time to time existing in respect of the Facility Agreement (as amended hereby), or any other Loan Document, such pledge or assignment or grant of the security interest or Lien or Control is hereby ratified, reaffirmed and confirmed in all respects, and shall constitute and be deemed a pledge or assignment or grant of the security interest or Lien or Control under the Facility Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party hereby confirms and agrees that any security interest or Lien granted (or Control provided) in any Loan Document shall secure the obligations (including the Obligations) under the Facility Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable. Each Loan Party hereby further ratifies, reaffirms and confirms the validity and enforceability of all of the Liens and security interests heretofore granted and Control provided, pursuant to and in connection with any Loan Document, to Agent or any other Secured Party, as collateral security for the obligations (including the Obligations) under the Loan Documents in accordance with their respective terms, and acknowledges that all of such Liens and security interests and Control, and all Collateral heretofore pledged as security for such obligations (including the Obligations), continue to be and remain collateral for such obligations (including Obligations) from and after the date hereof.

SECTION 15. Effect on Loan Documents.

(a) The Loan Documents (including as shall be amended hereby on the date of this Amendment and the First Amendment Effective Date), shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms and hereby are ratified and confirmed in all respects. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate, except with respect to the modifications and amendments expressly set forth herein, as a waiver of, consent to, or a modification or amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Agent or any Lender under the Facility Agreement or any other Loan Document. Except for the amendments to the Facility Agreement and other Loan Documents expressly set forth herein, the Facility Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. The amendments, modifications and other agreements set forth herein are limited to the specified provisions hereof, shall not apply with respect to any facts or occurrences other than those on which the same are based, shall neither excuse future non-compliance with the Loan Documents nor operate as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, shall not operate as a consent to any further or other matter under the Loan Documents and shall not be construed as an indication that any waiver of covenants or any other provision of the Facility Agreement or other Loan Party will be agreed to, it being understood that the granting or denying of any waiver which may hereafter be requested by Borrower or any other Loan Party remains in the sole and absolute discretion of the Agent and the Lenders.

 

31

First Amendment Effective Date: [•], 2019

U.S. $                            

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, MELINTA THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Lender set forth above or its registered assigns (the “Holder”) the Principal Amount set forth above, or, if less, the aggregate unpaid Principal of the Loan (as defined in the Facility Agreement referred to below) of the Holder to the Company, payable at such times and in such amounts as are specified in the Facility Agreement.

The Company promises to pay interest on the outstanding Principal of the Loan, any overdue interest and all other Obligations (as defined in the Facility Agreement referred to below) from and after the Agreement Date until such outstanding Principal of the Loan, any overdue interest and all other Obligations are paid in full, payable at such times and at such interest rates as are specified in the Facility Agreement. The Company promises to pay any Exit Fee, Prepayment Fee or any other fee that is due on the Loan or the other Obligations in accordance with the Facility Agreement. Demand, diligence, presentment, protest and notice of non-payment and protest are hereby waived by the Company.

Principal and interest (and any Exit Fee or Prepayment Fee) are payable in cash in Dollars to the Holder in the manner set forth in the Facility Agreement; provided, however, that in lieu of making any payment of interest in cash (but not interest payable in connection with any Event of Default or late payment hereunder or any other interest payable pursuant to Section 2.8 of the Facility Agreement) and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.7 of the Facility Agreement and Exhibit 2.7 to the Facility Agreement, the Company may elect to satisfy all or any such payment by the issuance to the Lender of shares of Freely Tradable Shares (as defined in such Exhibit 2.7) in accordance with the provisions of such Exhibit 2.7.


The Principal evidenced by this Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Note (this “Note”) was originally evidenced by a Loan Note dated January 5, 2018 (the “Original Note”) under the Original Facility Agreement (as defined below), which Original Note was amended and restated as this Note on the First Amendment Effective Date (as defined in the Facility Agreement), and this Note is one of the “Notes” referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Facility Agreement, dated as of January 5, 2018 (the “Original Facility Agreement”), and as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of January 31, 2019 (the “Amendment Date”) and effective as of the Amendment Date and the First Amendment Effective Date, as applicable (as the same may be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Facility Agreement”), by and among the Company, the other Loan Parties party thereto, the Lenders party thereto and Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as agent for itself and the other Secured Parties (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Agent”), and the other Loan Documents. Capitalized terms used herein without definition are used as defined in the Facility Agreement.

The Facility Agreement, among other things, (a) provides for the making of a Loan by the Holder to the Company in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the Principal Amount set forth above, the indebtedness of the Company resulting from such Loan being evidenced by this Note and (b) contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity of the unpaid Principal of this Note (and all other Obligations (including the Obligations) evidenced hereby) upon the happening of certain stated events and also for prepayments pursuant to Sections 2.3 and 5.3 of the Facility Agreement on account of the Principal hereof prior to the maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions specified therein. The maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans and Disbursements in respect of which the Convertible Notes shall be convertible (including by amendment and restatement of the Loan Notes) shall not exceed $74,000,000.

1.Definitions.

(a) Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Note, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(i) “4.985% Cap” has the meaning set forth in Section 2(f).

(ii) “Affiliate” means any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. With respect to a Holder, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by the same investment manager as such Holder will be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Holder. As used in this definition of “Affiliate,” the term “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through ownership of voting securities or partnership or other ownership interest, by contract, or otherwise.

 

2


(iii) “Closing Price” for any security as of any Trading Day means the closing sale price per share (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the last bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average last bid and the average last ask prices) on such date as reported in composite transactions for the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which the relevant security is traded. If the security is not listed for trading on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange on the relevant Trading Day, then the Closing Price will be the last quoted bid price per share for the security in the over-the-counter market on the relevant Trading Day as reported by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. or similar organization. If the relevant security is not so quoted, then the Closing Price will be the average of the mid-point of the last bid and ask prices per share for the relevant security on the relevant date from at least three nationally recognized independent investment banking firms selected by the Company for this purpose. The Closing Price will be determined without regard to after-hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading hours.

(v) “Conversion Amount” means the portion of the Principal to be converted.

For the avoidance of doubt, if a Stock Event occurs on a Conversion Date, the Conversion Price (including, for the avoidance of doubt the Closing Price referred to in clause (B)(I) above if it does not reflect such Stock Event) shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such Stock Event.

(viii) “Conversion Rate” means the Conversion Amount divided by the Conversion Price.

(ix) “Conversion Shares” means fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock.

 

3


(x) “Interest” means any interest (including any default interest) accrued on the Principal pursuant to the terms of this Note and the Facility Agreement.

(xi) “Market Disruption Event” means, with respect to any Trading Day and any security, (a) a failure by the Principal Market to open for trading during its regular trading session, (b) the occurrence or existence prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day for such securities for more than one half-hour period in the aggregate during regular trading hours of any suspension or limitation imposed on trading (by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the relevant securities exchange or otherwise) in such securities or in any options, contracts or future contracts relating to such securities, or (c) the suspension of trading for the one-half hour period ending on the scheduled close of trading on such day (by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the stock exchange or otherwise) in such securities.

(xiii) “Principal” means the outstanding principal amount of this Note as of any date of determination.

(xiv) “Principal Market” means the principal U.S. securities exchange or trading market for the Common Stock, which as of the First Amendment Effective Date is {INSERT: the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Global Select Market, as applicable}.

(xv) “Required Holders” means, as of any date of determination, holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the aggregate Principal of the Notes outstanding as of such date.

(xvi) “SEC” means the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

(xvii) “Securities Act’ means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder.

(xviii) “Shares” means shares of Common Stock.

(xix) “Trading Day” means any day on which the Common Stock is traded for any period on the Principal Market; provided, that for purposes of the definition of “Conversion Shares,” Trading Day shall not include any Trading Day on which there is a Market Disruption Event.

(xx) “Volume Weighted Average Price” for any security as of any Trading Day means (a) the volume weighted average sale price of such security on the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which such security is traded as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets or an equivalent, reliable reporting service mutually acceptable to (and hereinafter designated by) the Company and the Required Holders (“Bloomberg”), or (b) if no volume weighted average sale price is reported for such security, then the closing (last sale) price per share of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no closing price per share is

If the security is not listed for trading on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange on the relevant Trading Day, then the Volume Weighted Average Price will be the average of the mid-point of the last bid and last ask prices of the security in the over-the-counter market on the relevant Trading Day as reported by the OTC Markets Group or similar organization. If the Volume Weighted Average Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Volume Weighted Average Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted (based on the Principal being converted by each such holder) for which the calculation of the Volume Weighted Average Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. The Volume Weighted Average Price will be determined without regard to after-hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading hours.

2. Conversion Rights. The Principal may be converted, in whole or in part, into Conversion Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2. For the avoidance of doubt, the Conversion (as defined below) of Principal hereunder shall not affect the obligation of the Company to pay all Interest that has accrued on such converted Principal prior to the Conversion Date.

(a) Conversion at Option of the Holder. At any time prior to the close of business on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in the Facility Agreement), subject to the 4.985% Cap and the Conversion Cap (each as defined below), the Holder shall be entitled to convert any part of the outstanding Principal into Conversion Shares in accordance with this Section 2 at the Conversion Rate (as defined in Section 2(b)). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a Share upon any Conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a Share, then the Company shall round such fraction of a Share up or down to the nearest whole Share (with 0.5 rounded up).

(b) Conversion Rate. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a Conversion of any portion of this Note pursuant to Section 2 shall be determined according to the following formula:

Number of Conversion Shares = Conversion Amount / Conversion Price

(c) Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of Principal (“Conversion”) shall be conducted in the following manner, in each case subject to the 4.985% Cap and the Conversion Cap:

(i) Holder’s Delivery Requirements. To convert a Conversion Amount into Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 2(a) above on any date, the Holder shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on such date, a copy of a conversion notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company (Attention: __________, Fax: (___) ___-_____, Email: _________@________.com), setting forth the Conversion Amount and, to the extent that any Conversion Shares are to be issued in the name of a Person other than the Holder, the name and address of such Person and the number of Conversion Shares issuable in the name of such Person.

 

5


(ii) Company’s Response. Upon receipt or deemed receipt by the Company of a copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company (I) shall promptly send, via electronic mail a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Company’s designated transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein, and (II) on or before the second (2nd) Business Day following the date of receipt or deemed receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice (or, if earlier, the end of the then standard settlement period for U.S. broker-dealer securities transactions) (the “Share Delivery Date”), credit such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system. For purposes of the receipt or deemed receipt of a Conversion Notice, if the Company receives such Conversion Notice after 5:00 p.m. New York City time, it will be deemed to have received such Conversion Notice on the next Business Day. For purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, any Conversion Shares issued to the Holder shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder on the Agreement Date (the date this Note was originally issued). The Conversion Shares issued upon any conversion of this Note, will not contain or be subject to a legend or stop transfer order restricting the resale or transferability of thereof or otherwise be subject to any restriction on transfer imposed by or on behalf of the Transfer Agent or the Company (except as expressly provided in Section 2(g) of this Note).

(iii) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue to the Holder the number of Conversion Shares that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via electronic mail within two (2) Business Days of receipt or deemed receipt of the Holder’s Conversion Notice or other date of determination. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Conversion Price or arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days, submit via electronic mail (A) the disputed determination of the Closing Price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s Common Stock to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by Holder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, or (B) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Price or the Conversion Rate to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, as the case may be. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the investment bank or the accounting firm, as the case may be, to perform the determination or calculation and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determination or calculation. Such investment bank’s or accounting firm’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. The fees and expenses of such investment bank or accounting firm shall be paid by the Company. Notwithstanding the existence of a dispute contemplated by this paragraph, if requested by Holder, the Company shall issue to Holder the Conversion Shares, if any, that are not in dispute in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

6


(iv) Record Holder. The person or persons entitled to receive the Conversion Shares issuable upon a Conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the legal and record holder or holders of such Conversion Shares upon the Conversion Date, or in the case of Conversion Shares the issuance of which is subject to a bona fide dispute that is subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in compliance with the time periods and other provisions of, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2(c)(iii), the first (1st) Business Day after the resolution of such bona fide dispute.

(v) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert.

(A) Cash Damages. If by the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall fail to credit the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC with the applicable number of Conversion Shares (free of any restrictive legend, provided the Unrestricted Condition is satisfied) (a “Delivery Failure”), then, in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Agreement, the Company shall pay additional damages to the Holder for each day after the Share Delivery Date such conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the product of (I) the number of Conversion Shares not issued to the Holder or its designee on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled and (II) the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date. Alternatively in lieu of the foregoing damages, at the written election of the Holder made in the Holder’s sole discretion, if, on or after the applicable Conversion Date, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of Conversion Shares that such Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (such purchased Shares, “Buy-In Shares”), the Company shall (A) pay to the Holder the amount by which (I) such Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for such Buy-In Shares exceeds (II) the net proceeds received by the Holder from the sale of the number of Conversion Shares the Holder was entitled to receive but had not received on the Share Delivery Date, and (B) at the option of the Holder, by notice to the Company made via electronic mail prior to receipt by Holder of the Conversion Shares, either reinstate the portion of this Note and equivalent number of Conversion Shares for which such conversion was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of Common Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its conversion and delivery obligations hereunder. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Common Shares upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(B) Void Conversion Notice. If for any reason the Holder has not received all of the Conversion Shares to which it is entitled prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Share Delivery Date with respect to a Conversion (a “Conversion Failure”), then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company (a “Void Conversion Notice”), may void its Conversion with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of Principal that has not been converted pursuant to the Holder’s Conversion Notice; provided, that

 

7


the voiding of the Holder’s Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 2(c)(v)(A) or otherwise. A Conversion Failure shall constitute an Event of Default under the Facility Agreement and entitle the Holder to all payments and remedies provided under the Facility Agreement upon an Event of Default.

(vi) Book-Entry. Upon Conversion or repayment of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company. In such event, the Company shall update Schedule I hereto and send such updated schedule to the Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if this Note is converted or repaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will promptly issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining Principal represented by this Note, and (B) upon any Conversion or repayment of this Note in full, this Note shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation as provided in Section 9. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion or repayment of any portion of this Note, the Principal of this Note may be less than the “Principal Amount” stated on the face hereof.

(d) Taxes. Subject to the terms of the Facility Agreement, all payments will be free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall pay any and all taxes (excluding income taxes, franchise taxes or other taxes levied on gross earnings, profits or the like of the Holder) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Conversion Shares upon the conversion of this Note. The Company shall pay all and any costs (administrative or otherwise) imposed by the Company’s banks, clearing houses, or any other financial institution, in connection with making any payments or issuing any Conversion Shares hereunder.

(e) Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Shares solely for the purpose of effecting Conversions of this Note, such number of Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the Conversion of this Note (without giving effect to the 4.985% Cap but giving effect to the Conversion Cap), assuming that any future Conversions will be at the Floor Price; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the Conversion of the entire Principal convertible under this Note, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to take such corporate action as may, upon the advice of the Company’s counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Shares to such number of Shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon any Conversion of this Note, all Shares issued upon such Conversion shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any Person.

(f) Limitations on Conversion.

(i) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue to the Holder, and the Holder may not acquire, a number of Shares upon Conversion or otherwise issue any Shares pursuant hereto or the Facility Agreement to the extent that, upon such Conversion, the number of Shares then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of Warrants or other securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 4.985% of the total number of Shares then issued and outstanding (the “4.985% Cap”); provided, however, that the 4.985% Cap shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the SEC, and the percentage held by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, in determining the number of outstanding Shares, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Shares as stated in the Company’s most recent quarterly or annual report filed with the SEC, or any current report filed by the Company with the SEC subsequent thereto. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Shares then outstanding, and the Holder shall be entitled to rely upon such confirmation for purposes hereof.

(ii) Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Note shall not be convertible, and the Company shall not issue Shares upon Conversion of this Note, to the extent that the aggregate Principal of this Note that would otherwise be converted pursuant to the applicable Conversion Notice, together with the aggregate Principal of this Note converted into Conversion Shares after the First Amendment Effective Date and prior to such Conversion, would exceed {INSERT: the Holder’s Pro Rata Share of $74,000,000} (the “Conversion Cap”) (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that upon any Conversion of this Note, the Company shall convert the maximum portion of Principal set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice that may be converted into Shares without so exceeding the Conversion Cap).

(g) The Holder shall not sell or dispose, in a pre-arranged single transaction or series of related transactions, any shares of Common Stock that have been issued upon Conversion of this Note, to any other Person or “group” if such Holder knows, in advance of effecting such transaction or series of related transactions, that such Person or “group” holds or, after giving effect to any such sale or disposition, would hold (for such purpose, in each case, including the right to acquire), in excess of fifteen percent (15%) of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, unless such sale or disposition has been approved by a majority of the board of directors of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations and restrictions set forth in this Section 2(g) shall be of no effect if such sale is part of a tender offer or exchange offer made to all stockholders of the Company, or otherwise is in a merger or other business combination transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 2(g) shall not restrict the ability of the Holder (i) to transfer all or any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof or (ii) to sell any shares of Common Stock that have been issued upon Conversion of this Note in open-market transactions.

3. Voting Rights. The Holder shall have no voting rights with respect to any of the Conversion Shares until the Conversion Date relating to the Conversion of the Principal for which such Conversion Shares are issuable (or in the case of Conversion Shares the issuance of which is subject to a bona fide dispute that is subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in compliance with the time periods and other provisions of, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2(c)(iii), the first Business Day after the resolution of such bona fide dispute).

4. Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note, the Facility Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy, and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies (at law or in equity), to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

5. Specific Shall Not Limit General; Construction. No specific provision contained in this Note shall limit or modify any more general provision contained herein. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all Persons acquiring Notes pursuant to the Facility Agreement and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof.

6. Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Facility Agreement.

7. Assignment of Note. Subject to Section 6.5 of the Facility Agreement, the Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Note, in whole or in part; provided that the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Company an Assignment indicating the respective Principal of the Note to be assigned to each assignee, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B (which shall include the name and address and e-mail address and contact of the Holder, and the name and address and e-mail address and contact of the assignee). The Company shall effect the assignment (including by making appropriate notation of such transfer on the Register) within three (3) business days, and shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated in the Assignment a Note or Notes of like tenor and terms for the appropriate Principal. Upon such an assignment becoming effective, the assignee shall be deemed to make the representation and warranty set forth in Section 3.3(b) of the Facility Agreement. This Note and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. This Note is not assignable or transferable by the Company without the written consent of the Holder and the Agent and any such prohibited assignment or transfer is absolutely void ab initio.

 

10


8. Payment of Costs and Expense. The Company shall pay all costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) of the Holder incurred in connection with this Note as provided in Section 6.3 of the Facility Agreement.

9. Cancellation.
