Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. 

 

Capitalized terms used in this section but not otherwise defined herein have the same definitions given to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed by Edoc Acquisition Corp. (“Edoc” or the “Company”), Edoc entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended on March 31, 2023 and December 7, 2023 and as may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Transaction”) with Australian Oilseeds Investments Pty Ltd., an Australian proprietary company (the “AOI”), Australian Oilseeds Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Pubco”), AOI Merger Sub, Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”), American Physicians LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser Representative”), in the capacity as the Purchaser Representative thereunder, and Gary Seaton, in his capacity as the representative for the Sellers (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Seller Representative”). 

 

As previously disclosed, an extraordinary general meeting of Edoc’s shareholders will be held on March 5, 2024 to approve the Transaction, which includes voting on the proposals described in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, filed by Edoc on February 8, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”) in order to consummate the Transaction.

 

As previously disclosed by Edoc, on August 23, 2023, Pubco executed a Securities Purchase Agreement (as amended on October 31, 2023, December 4, 2023, and as may be further amended from time to time, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with AOI, Edoc and Arena Investors, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “PIPE Investor”).

 

On March 1, 2024, the parties entered into Amendment No. 3 to Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”), which amended the terms of the transaction as follows:

 

(a)Amendment of Purchase and Sale of Debentures and Warrants. The Amendment restates Section 2.1 of the Securities Purchase Agreement to reflect changes to the purchases and sale of the debentures and warrants to the PIPE Investor to provide that on the on the first closing date (which will be the date of the closing of the Transaction) (first closing (the “First Closing Date”)), the PIPE Investor will purchase a 10% original issue discount secured convertible Debenture (the “First Closing Debenture”) issued by Pubco in the amount of $2,222,222 (the “First Closing Principal Amount”), which matures 18 months from the First Closing Date (the “First Maturity Date”). On the First Closing Date, in consideration for the issuance of the First Closing Debenture, the PIPE Investor shall pay to Pubco an amount equal to the sum of (A) $2,000,000 minus (B) $1,000,000 (the “First Closing Reserve Amount”). The initial payment to Pubco would total $1,000,000 less applicable legal fees and expenses of the PIPE Investor (the “First Closing Subscription Amount”).

 

1

 

 

The PIPE Investor will hold the First Closing Reserve Amount in reserve  until the earlier to occur of (A) the First Maturity Date and (B) the payment by the PIPE Investor to Pubco of First Closing Reserve Advances (defined below) in the aggregate amount of the First Closing Reserve Amount, upon the conversion by the PIPE Investor of portions of the outstanding principal amount of the First Closing Debenture in the amounts set forth in the schedule below. Within five (5) Business Days following the date the Underlying Shares resulting from the applicable conversion are delivered to the PIPE Investor in accordance with the terms of the First Closing Debenture, the PIPE Investor shall release and pay to Pubco a portion of the First Closing Reserve Amount in the amount of $200,000 (each, a “First Closing Reserve Advance”, and collectively, the “First Closing Reserve Advances”):

 

i.an initial First Closing Reserve Advance shall be released upon the conversion of $622,222 of the outstanding principal amount of the First Closing Debenture (such that following such conversion, the outstanding principal amount of the First Closing Debenture is $1,600,000);

 

ii.a further First Closing Reserve Advance shall be released upon the conversion of $400,000 of the outstanding principal amount of the First Closing Debenture (such that following such conversion, the outstanding principal amount of the First Closing Debenture is $1,200,000);

 

iii.a further First Closing Reserve Advance shall be released upon the conversion of $400,000 of the outstanding principal amount of the First Closing Debenture (such that following such conversion, the outstanding principal amount of the First Closing Debenture is $800,000);

 

iv.a further First Closing Reserve Advance shall be released upon the conversion of $400,000 of the outstanding principal amount of the First Closing Debenture (such that following such conversion, the outstanding principal amount of the First Closing Debenture is $400,000); and

 

v.a further First Closing Reserve Advance shall be released upon the conversion of $400,000 of the outstanding principal amount of the First Closing Debenture (such that following such conversion, the outstanding principal amount of the First Closing Debenture is $0).

 

The PIPE Investor’s obligation to make First Closing Reserve Advances to Pubco expire at the First Maturity Date. While the original principal amount of the First Closing Debenture is the First Closing Principal Amount, if the aggregate amount of First Closing Reserve Advances made by the PIPE Investor to Pubco on or prior to the First Maturity Date is less than the First Closing Reserve Amount, then, effective as of the maturity date of the First Closing Debenture, the original principal amount of the First Closing Debenture shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (A) $1,000,0000 minus (B) the aggregate amount of First Closing Reserve Advances made by the to Pubco on or prior to the First Maturity Date.

 

As an additional condition precedent to the PIPE Investor’s obligation to consummate the First Closing, on or prior to the First Closing Date, the Sponsor has agreed to fund $1,000,000 into an escrow account (the “Sponsor Escrow Amount”) designated by the PIPE Investor subject to an escrow agreement (the “Sponsor Escrow Agreement”) by and among the PIPE Investor, the Sponsor and an escrow agent (the “Sponsor Escrow Agent”). The Sponsor Escrow Agreement will provide that (i) the Sponsor Escrow Agent may not disburse any portion of the Sponsor Escrow Amount unless directed to do so by written notice from the PIPE Investor, (ii) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the First Closing Debenture), the PIPE Investor may send notice to the Sponsor Escrow Agent to disburse 100% of the funds then held in the escrow account to the PIPE Investor, and (iii) until the earlier to occur of an (A) Event of Default, (B) the satisfaction of all of Pubco’s obligations under the First Closing Debenture on or before the maturity date of the First Closing Debenture, and (C) upon the conversion by the PIPE Investor of portions of the outstanding principal amount of the First Closing Debenture, the PIPE Investor shall, within five (5) Business Days following the date the underlying shares resulting from the applicable conversion are delivered to the PIPE Investor in accordance with the terms of the First Closing Debenture, send written notice to the Sponsor Escrow Agent to disburse to the Sponsor a portion of the Sponsor Escrow Amount in the amount of $200,000 (each a “Sponsor Disbursement” and collectively, the “Sponsor Disbursements”) in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Amendment.

Second Closing Date and Third Closing Date

 

On the 60th trading day following the effectiveness date of the first registration statement filed by Pubco after the closing of the Business Combination (the “Second Closing Date)”, the PIPE Investor will purchase from Pubco, a 10% original issue discount secured convertible debenture issued (the “Second Closing Debenture”) by Pubco in the amount of $2,777,777 (the “Second Closing Principal Amount”), and (2) on the 60th trading day following the effectiveness date of the second registration statement filed by Pubco, which will be the third closing date of the Investment (the “Third Closing Date”), the PIPE Investor will purchase a 10% original issue discount secured convertible debenture (the “Third Closing Debenture”) issued by Pubco in the amount of $2,777,777 (the “Third Closing Principal Amount”). The Second Closing Debenture and the Third Closing Debenture shall mature on the date that is eighteen (18) months from the First Closing Date.

 

(b)Extension of Termination Date. The Amendment authorized the extension of the period to hold a First Closing Date under the Securities Purchase Agreement to March 31, 2024.

 

(c)Extension of Exclusivity. The Amendment authorized the extension of the exclusivity period under which Pubco, AOI and EDOC agreed to refrain from soliciting, accepting or encouraging any other financing proposal similar to the transactions contemplated under the Securities Purchase Agreement to March 31, 2024.

 

(d)Issuance of Penny Warrants to PIPE Investor in the Event of Failure to transfer CQ Oilseeds to AOI. The Amendment provides that if AOI  fails to achieve the transfer of all of Energreen Nutrition Australia Pty Ltd.’s equity interests in CQ Oilseeds Pty Ltd. (“CQ Oilseeds”) to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of AOI, on or prior to the substantial completion date of the new CQ Oilseeds plant, or AOI fails to grant a first priority security interest to the PIPE Investor in all of CQ Oilseeds’ assets, free and clear of all other liens and encumbrances other than the first priority security interests of the PIPE Investor pursuant to the Australian CQ Oilseeds General Security Deed, then Pubco shall issue to the PIPE Investor a warrant to purchase 10,000,000 ordinary shares of Pubco at an exercise price of $0.01 per Ordinary Share (each, a “Penny Warrant”) and Pubco shall enter into a registration rights agreement with the PIPE Investor providing registration rights with respect to the underlying shares issuable under each Penny Warrant.

 

(e)Company and PIPE Investor First Closing Deliveries. The Amendment amends and restates the list of Pubco’s deliverables to PIPE Investor before the First Closing Date and amends and restates the list of PIPE Investor’s deliverables to Pubco before the First Closing Date.

 

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The following disclosure amends and restates the narrative on pages 15-16 of the Proxy Statement under the heading “Arena Investment” and pages 43-44 under the heading “Arena PIPE” and pages 237-238 under the heading “Arena Warrants.”

 

Capitalized terms used in this section but not otherwise defined herein have the same definitions given to such terms in the Arena Transaction Documents.

 

On August 23, 2023, Pubco executed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with AOI, EDOC and Arena Investors, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “PIPE Investor”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the PIPE Investor agreed to purchase redeemable debentures (the “Debentures”) and warrants (the “Arena Warrants”) of Pubco for the aggregate subscription amount of up to $7,000,000, at and after the Closing.

 

First Closing Date

 

On March 1, 2024, AOI, EDOC and Arena Investors, LP entered into the Third Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), which provides that on the First Closing Date, the PIPE Investor agrees to purchase from AOI, a 10% original issue discount secured convertible Debenture (the “First Closing Debenture”) issued by Pubco in the amount of $2,222,222 (the “First Closing Principal Amount”), which matures 18 months from the first closing (the “First Closing Date”). At the First Closing Date, in consideration for the issuance of the First Closing Debenture, the PIPE Investor shall pay to Pubco an amount equal to the sum of (A) $2,000,000 minus (B) $1,000,000 (the “First Closing Reserve Amount”). The initial payment to Pubco would total $1,000,000 less applicable legal fees and expenses of the PIPE Investor (the “First Closing Subscription Amount”).

The PIPE Investor will hold the First Closing Reserve Amount in reserve until the earlier to occur of (A) the maturity date of the First Closing Debenture and (B) the payment by the PIPE Investor to Pubco of First Closing Reserve Advances (defined below) in the aggregate amount of the First Closing Reserve Amount, upon the conversion by the PIPE Investor of portions of the outstanding principal amount of the First Closing Debenture in the amounts set forth in the schedule below, the PIPE Investor shall, within five (5) Business Days following the date the Underlying Shares resulting from the applicable conversion are delivered to the PIPE Investor in accordance with the terms of the First Closing Debenture, release and pay to Pubco a portion of the First Closing Reserve Amount in the amount of $200,000 (each, a “First Closing Reserve Advance”, and collectively, the “First Closing Reserve Advances”):

 

(A) an initial First Closing Reserve Advance shall be released upon the conversion of $622,222 of the outstanding principal amount of the First Closing Debenture (such that following such conversion, the outstanding principal amount of the First Closing Debenture is $1,600,000);

 

(B) a further First Closing Reserve Advance shall be released upon the conversion of $400,000 of the outstanding principal amount of the First Closing Debenture (such that following such conversion, the outstanding principal amount of the First Closing Debenture is $1,200,000);

The PIPE Investor’s obligation to make First Closing Reserve Advances to Pubco expire at the 18-month maturity date. While the original principal amount of the First Closing Debenture is the First Closing Principal Amount, if the aggregate amount of First Closing Reserve Advances made by the PIPE Investor to Pubco on or prior to the maturity date of the First Closing Debenture is less than the First Closing Reserve Amount, then, effective as of the maturity date of the First Closing Debenture, the original principal amount of the First Closing Debenture shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (A) $1,000,0000 minus (B) the aggregate amount of First Closing Reserve Advances made by the PIPE Investor to Pubco on or prior to the maturity date of the First Closing Debenture.

 

Second Closing Date and Third Closing Date

 

On the 60th trading day following the effectiveness date of the first registration statement filed by Pubco after the closing of the Business Combination, (the “Second Closing Date”), the PIPE Investor will purchase from Pubco, a 10% original issue discount secured convertible debenture issued (the “Second Closing Debenture”) by Pubco in the amount of $2,777,777 (the “Second Closing Principal Amount”), and (2) on the 60th trading day following the effectiveness date of the second registration statement filed by Pubco, which will be the third closing date of the Investment (the “Third Closing Debenture”) issued by Pubco in the amount of $2,777,777 (the “Third Closing Principal Amount”). The Second Closing Debenture and the Third Closing Debenture shall mature on the date that is eighteen (18) months from the First Closing Date.”

 

The following disclosure supplements pages 29 and 30 of the Proxy Statement to augment the passage that reads, “Potential ownership of outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares upon Closing (on a diluted and as-converted basis assuming the vesting and exercise of outstanding warrants of Pubco and the issuance of Pubco Ordinary Shares in respect thereof) is set forth in the following table (without inclusion of the Warrant Shares or the Pubco Warrant Shares potentially issued pursuant to the $50 million ELOC)”:

 

The table header on page 29 is amended and restated to read, “Potential ownership of outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares upon Closing (on a diluted and as-converted basis assuming the vesting and exercise of outstanding warrants of Pubco and the issuance of Pubco Ordinary Shares in respect thereof) is set forth in the following table (without inclusion of the Warrant Shares or the Pubco Warrant Shares potentially issued pursuant to the $50 million ELOC or the 10,000,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares underlying the 10,000,000 Penny Warrants that Pubco would be required to grant to the PIPE Investor in the event in the event of AOI’s failure to (i) transfer the equity interest in CQ Oilseeds to AOI from Energreen Nutrition Australia Pty Ltd. to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of AOI, upon the substantial completion date of the new CQ Oilseeds plant, or (ii) grant a first priority security interest to the PIPE Investor in all of CQ Oilseeds’ assets, free and clear of all other liens and encumbrances other than the first priority security interests of the PIPE Investor pursuant to the Australian CQ Oilseeds General Security Deed).”

 

The following disclosure supplements the table on pages 29 and 30 of the Proxy Statement:

 

Footnote (3) on page 30 is hereby amended and restated to read, “The first closing amount of $2,000,000 of the Arena PIPE, in exchange for a Debenture to be issued by Pubco on the First Closing Date for the principal amount of $2,222,222 x 25% = $555,555. $555,555 divided by $10.79 = 51,488 Warrant Shares. For avoidance of doubt, the Debenture in the principal amount of $2,222,222 will be issued on the First Closing Date notwithstanding that the first closing amount of $2,000,000 will be funded in separate tranches commencing with $1,000,000 followed by additional draws of the $1,000,000 in reserve. If the full $2,000,000 is not drawn from the Debenture by the First Maturity Date (18 months from the First Closing Date), the principal amount will be adjusted accordingly.”

The following risk factor should be added to the Proxy Statement on page 90 immediately following the risk factor entitled “Pubco may issue additional Pubco Ordinary Shares or other equity securities without your approval, which would dilute your ownership interests and may depress the market price of your shares.”:

 

“Pubco may issue additional Pubco Ordinary Shares in connection with the Penny Warrants, which would dilute your ownership interests and may depress the market price of your shares.

 

Pubco may issue 10,000,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares underlying the 10,000,000 Penny Warrants that Pubco would be required to grant to the PIPE Investor, in accordance with Third Amendment, in the event in the event of AOI’s failure to (i) transfer the equity interest in CQ Oilseeds to AOI from Energreen Nutrition Australia Pty Ltd. to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of AOI, upon the substantial completion date of the new CQ Oilseeds plant, or (ii) grant a first priority security interest to the PIPE Investor in all of CQ Oilseeds’ assets, free and clear of all other liens and encumbrances other than the first priority security interests of the PIPE Investor pursuant to the Australian CQ Oilseeds General Security Deed. The issuance of 10,000,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares underlying the 10,000,000 Penny Warrants could decrease  your proportionate ownership interest in Pubco, diminish the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding Pubco Ordinary Share and cause a decrease of the market price of your Pubco Ordinary Shares.”

 

The following disclosure is added following the third paragraph on page 226 of the Proxy Statement:

 

In connection with the Closing, the parties intend to waive such lock-up restrictions so as to permit: (A) the distribution by the Sponsor of all of its securities (the “Sponsor Distribution”), including (i) an aggregate of 1,485,153 Founder Shares and (ii) an aggregate of 414,000 Insider Units, including their underlying securities, and (B) of the securities distributed in the Sponsor Distribution, an aggregate of 1,444,792 shares to be held by recipients who are not affiliates of Pubco shall be released of all post-Closing lock-up restrictions pursuant to the Letter Agreement and the Subscription Agreements. The remaining securities distributed pursuant to the Sponsor Distribution will continue to be subject to the lock-up restrictions of the Letter Agreement and the Subscription Agreements following such transfer.

 

The following disclosure is added following the second paragraph on page 229 of the Proxy Statement:

 

As an additional condition precedent to the PIPE Investor’s obligation to consummate the First Closing, in accordance with Third Amendment, on or prior to the First Closing Date, the Sponsor has agreed to fund $1,000,000 into an escrow account (the “Sponsor Escrow Amount”) designated by the PIPE Investor subject to an escrow agreement (the “Sponsor Escrow Agreement”) by and among the PIPE Investor, the Sponsor and an escrow agent (the “Sponsor Escrow Agent”). The Sponsor Escrow Agreement will provide that (i) the Sponsor Escrow Agent may not disburse any portion of the Sponsor Escrow Amount unless directed to do so by written notice from the PIPE Investor, (ii) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the First Closing Debenture), the PIPE Investor may send notice to the Sponsor Escrow Agent to disburse 100% of the funds then held in the escrow account to the PIPE Investor, and (iii) until the earlier to occur of an (A) Event of Default, (B) the satisfaction of all of Pubco’s obligations under the First Closing Debenture on or before the maturity date of the First Closing Debenture, and (C) upon the conversion by the PIPE Investor of portions of the outstanding principal amount of the First Closing Debenture, the PIPE Investor shall, within five (5) Business Days following the date the underlying shares resulting from the applicable conversion are delivered to the PIPE Investor in accordance with the terms of the First Closing Debenture, send written notice to the Sponsor Escrow Agent to disburse to the Sponsor a portion of the Sponsor Escrow Amount in the amount of $200,000 (each a “Sponsor Disbursement” and collectively, the “Sponsor Disbursements”) in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Third Amendment.

The following disclosure is added following the third paragraph on page 242 of the Proxy Statement:

 

Penny Warrants

 

In connection with the Arena PIPE, as partial security to the PIPE Investor, Pubco has agreed to issue the Penny Warrants to the PIPE Investor at a future date, in accordance with Third Amendment, only in the event of AOI’s failure to (i) transfer the equity interest in CQ Oilseeds to AOI from Energreen Nutrition Australia Pty Ltd. to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of AOI, upon the substantial completion date of the new CQ Oilseeds plant, or (ii) grant a first priority security interest to the PIPE Investor in all of CQ Oilseeds’ assets, free and clear of all other liens and encumbrances other than the first priority security interests of the PIPE Investor pursuant to the Australian CQ Oilseeds General Security Deed. In the event of the issuance of the Penny Warrants to purchase 10,000,000 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $0.01 per Ordinary Share, Pubco shall enter into a registration rights agreement with the PIPE Investor providing registration rights with respect to the underlying shares issuable under the Penny Warrant with terms substantially similar to the terms provided in the first registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the First Closing. The Penny Warrant shall be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in such Penny Warrant.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The information in this report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “expect,” “continue,” “should,” “would,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “future,” “outlook” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, (1) statements regarding estimates and forecasts of financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity and market share; (2) references with respect to the anticipated benefits of the proposed Transaction and the projected future financial performance of EDOC and AOI’s operating companies following the proposed Transaction; (3) changes in the market for AOI’s products and services and expansion plans and opportunities; (4) AOI’s unit economics; (5) the sources and uses of cash of the proposed Transaction; (6) the anticipated capitalization and enterprise value of the combined company following the consummation of the proposed Transaction; (7) the projected technological developments of AOI and its competitors; (8) anticipated short- and long-term customer benefits; (9) current and future potential commercial and customer relationships; (10) the ability to manufacture efficiently at scale; (11) anticipated investments in research and development and the effect of these investments and timing related to commercial product launches; (12) expectations related to the terms and timing of the proposed Transaction; and (13) potential issuance of 10,000,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares underlying the 10,000,000 Penny Warrants could decrease shareholders’ proportionate ownership interest in Pubco, diminish the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding Pubco Ordinary Share and cause a decrease to the market price of Pubco Ordinary Shares. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this report, and on the current expectations of AOI’s and EDOC’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of AOI and EDOC. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; the risk that the proposed Transaction disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transactions described herein; the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Transaction; the ability to obtain or maintain the listing of the Pubco’s securities on The Nasdaq Stock Market, following the Transaction, including having the requisite number of shareholders; costs related to the proposed Transaction; changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to AOI; AOI’s ability to successfully and timely develop, manufacture, sell and expand its technology and products, including implement its growth strategy; AOI’s ability to adequately manage any supply chain risks, including the purchase of a sufficient supply of critical components incorporated into its product offerings; risks relating to AOI’s operations and business, including information technology and cybersecurity risks, failure to adequately forecast supply and demand, loss of key customers and deterioration in relationships between AOI and its employees; AOI’s ability to successfully collaborate with business partners; demand for AOI’s current and future offerings; risks that orders that have been placed for AOI’s products are cancelled or modified; risks related to increased competition; risks relating to potential disruption in the transportation and shipping infrastructure, including trade policies and export controls; risks that AOI is unable to secure or protect its intellectual property; risks of product liability or regulatory lawsuits relating to AOI’s products and services; risks that the post-combination company experiences difficulties managing its growth and expanding operations; the uncertain effects of certain geopolitical developments; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed Transaction, including the risk that any required shareholder or regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed Transaction; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against AOI, EDOC or Pubco or other following announcement of the proposed Transaction; the ability of AOI to execute its business model, including market acceptance of its planned products and services and achieving sufficient production volumes at acceptable quality levels and prices; technological improvements by AOI’s peers and competitors; and those risk factors discussed in documents of Pubco and EDOC filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither EDOC nor AOI presently know or that EDOC and AOI currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect EDOC’s and AOI’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this report. EDOC and AOI anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause EDOC’s and AOI’s assessments to change. However, while EDOC and AOI may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, EDOC and AOI specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. Readers are referred to the most recent reports filed with the SEC by EDOC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Section 4. Conversion.

 

(a) Voluntary Conversion. At any time after the Original Issue Date until this Debenture is no longer outstanding, this Debenture shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into Ordinary Shares at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(d) hereof). The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the principal amount of this Debenture to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Debenture, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has been so converted in which case the Holder shall surrender this Debenture as promptly as is reasonably practicable after such conversion without delaying the Company’s obligation to deliver the shares on the Share Delivery Date. Any conversion hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture in an amount equal to the applicable principal amount being converted provided that the Company delivers the Conversion Shares and pays the applicable Floor Price Spread Amount with respect to such conversion, if any, in accordance with this Section 4. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one (1) Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

(b) Conversion Price; Floor Price. The conversion price of the Debenture in effect as of any Conversion Date shall be a price per Ordinary Share equal to 92.5% of the average of the three (3) lowest daily VWAP of the Ordinary Shares for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on such Conversion Date (the “Conversion Price”), subject to the Floor Price as set forth below.

 

As used herein, the term “Floor Price” means:

 

(i) during the period from and including First Closing Date through the date immediately prior to the 6-month anniversary of the First Closing Date, $2.00;

 

(ii) during the period beginning from and including the 6-month anniversary of the First Closing Date (the “First Reset Date”) through the date immediately prior to the 12-month anniversary of the First Closing Date, a price equal to 20% of the 5-Day VWAP as of the First Reset Date;

 

7

 

 

(iii) during the period beginning from and including the 12-month anniversary of the First Closing Date (the “Second Reset Date”) through the date immediately prior to the 18-month anniversary of the First Closing Date, a price equal to 20% of the 5-Day VWAP as of the Second Reset Date; and

 

(iv) beginning from and including the 18-month anniversary of the First Closing Date (the “Third Reset Date”), and thereafter, a price equal to 20% the 5-Day VWAP as of the Third Reset Date;

 

provided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Floor Price may be reduced at any time from the Floor Price then in effect upon the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

 

As used herein, the term “VWAP” means, as of any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Ordinary Shares are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the per share daily volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares for such date (or if such date is not a Trading Day, for the nearest preceding Trading Day) on the Trading Market on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b)  if the Ordinary Shares are listed on the OTCQB or OTCQX, the per share volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares for such date (or if such date is not a Trading Day, for the nearest preceding Trading Day) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Ordinary Shares are not then listed or quoted for trading on any Trading Market or OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Ordinary Shares are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Ordinary Shares so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Ordinary Shares as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

As used herein, the term “5-Day VWAP” means, as of any date, the average daily VWAP of the Ordinary Shares for the 5 consecutive Trading Day period ending as of such date (or if such date is not a Trading Day, as of the nearest preceding Trading Day).

 

(c) Mechanics of Conversion; Floor Price Spread Payments.

 

(i) Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount; Floor Price Spread Payments. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion as of any Conversion Date hereunder shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be converted by the Conversion Price as of such Conversion Date; provided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, that if the Conversion Price exceeds the Floor Price on any Conversion Date, then (1) the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the applicable conversion hereunder shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be converted by the Floor Price as of such Conversion Date, and (2) the Company shall pay the Holder an amount in cash on the applicable Share Delivery Date with respect to such conversion (a “Floor Price Spread Amount”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the amount obtained by subtracting the Conversion Price as of such Conversion Date from the Floor Price as of such Conversion Date by (B) the amount obtained by subtracting (x) the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be converted by the Conversion Price as of such Conversion Date from (y) the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be converted by the Floor Price as of such Conversion Date.

(ii) Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion; Floor Price Spread Payments. Not later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder (A) the Conversion Shares which, on or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the applicable conversion of this Debenture). On or after the earlier of (i) the six-month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, the Company shall deliver any Conversion Shares required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 4(c) electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. Any Floor Price Spread Amount payable with respect to a conversion of the Debenture as determined in accordance with Section 4(c)(i) above shall be due and payable by the Company in full on the Share Delivery Date for such conversion. As used herein, the term “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Ordinary Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of any Notice of Conversion.

 

(iii) Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Debenture delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.

 

(iv) Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Debenture shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Debenture shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) by the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Share Delivery Date until such Conversion Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8 hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

(v) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Debenture in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii). For example, if the Holder purchases a number of Ordinary Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Debenture with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a 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 Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Debenture as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(vi) Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and payment of interest on this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and any other holders of the Debentures), not less than such aggregate number of Ordinary Shares as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture and payment of interest hereunder. The Company covenants that all Ordinary Shares that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public resale in accordance with such Registration Statement (subject to such Holder’s compliance with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement).

 

(vii) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Debenture. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

10

 

 

(viii) Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Debenture so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.

 

(d) Holder’s Conversion Limitations. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Debenture, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Debenture, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of this Debenture with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Ordinary Shares which would be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Debenture beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Debentures or the Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(d) applies, the determination of whether this Debenture is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Debenture may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates or Attribution Parties) and which principal amount of this Debenture is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(d), in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Debenture, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of this Debenture. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon conversion of this Debenture held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Debenture.

Section 5. Certain Adjustments.

 

(a) Share Dividends and Share Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in Ordinary Shares on Ordinary Shares or any Ordinary Shares Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Ordinary Shares issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of interest on, the Debentures), (ii) subdivides outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse share split) outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of Ordinary Shares or any capital shares of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(b) Subsequent Equity Sales. If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, sells or grants any option to purchase, or otherwise issues, any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire Ordinary Shares at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price and/or the then Floor Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then simultaneously with the consummation of each Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price and/or the Floor Price, as applicable, shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward share splits, recapitalizations and similar transactions following the date of the Purchase Agreement); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, the effect of any adjustment to the Conversion Price and/or Floor Price pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be to reduce and not increase the Conversion Price and/or Floor Price, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 5(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. If the Company enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, despite the prohibition set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion price at which such securities may be converted or exercised. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents subject to this Section 5(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 5(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.

 

(c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 5(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Ordinary Shares Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Ordinary Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete conversion of this Debenture (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Ordinary Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

12

 

 

(d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Debenture is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Debenture, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete conversion of this Debenture (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Ordinary Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

(e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Ordinary Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Ordinary Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Ordinary Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (not including any Ordinary Shares held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Debenture, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(d) on the conversion of this Debenture), the number of Ordinary Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Debenture is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(d) on the conversion of this Debenture). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) Ordinary Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Ordinary Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Debenture following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under the Debentures and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Debenture, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Debenture a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Debenture which is convertible for a corresponding number of capital shares of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Ordinary Shares acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Debenture (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Debenture) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such capital shares (but taking into account the relative value of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such capital shares, such number of capital shares and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Debenture immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Debenture and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under the Debentures and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

(f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of Ordinary Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.

 

(g) Notice to the Holder.

 

(i) Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

(ii) Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Ordinary Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Ordinary Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Ordinary Shares of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital shares of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Ordinary Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Ordinary Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Debenture, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Debenture Register, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Ordinary Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Ordinary Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert this Debenture during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section 6. Mandatory Prepayment; Redemption.

 

(a) Mandatory Prepayment. If, at any time prior to the full repayment or full conversion of all amounts owed under this Debenture, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries receives cash proceeds from the issuance of equity or indebtedness (other than the issuance of other Debentures), in one or more financing transactions, whether publicly offered or privately arranged (including, without limitation, pursuant to the Arena ELOC), the Company shall, within one (1) Business Day of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary’s receipt of such proceeds, inform the Holder of such receipt via written notice (a “Mandatory Prepayment Notice”), whereupon the Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion to require, by written notice to the Company delivered within five (5) Business Days of the Holder’s receipt of any such Mandatory Prepayment Notice, that the Company immediately apply up to twenty percent (20%) of the gross cash proceeds received from the applicable financing transaction to prepay the Company’s then outstanding obligations under the Debentures (a “Mandatory Prepayment Exercise Notice”). The Company shall, within one (1) Business Day of the Company’s receipt of a Mandatory Prepayment Exercise Notice, the portion of the gross cash proceeds received from the applicable financing transaction indicated in the Mandatory Prepayment Exercise Notice (not to exceed 20%) to prepay the Company’s then outstanding obligations under the Debentures; provided, such gross cash proceeds shall be applied to prepay all of the Debentures then outstanding pro rata in proportion to the respective outstanding principal amount of each Debenture at the time the Holder delivers the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Exercise Notice.

 

(b) Optional Redemption at Election of Company.

 

(i) Subject to the provisions of this Section 6(b), the Company may deliver a notice to the Holder at any time (an “Optional Redemption Notice”, and the date such notice is deemed delivered hereunder, the “Optional Redemption Notice Date”) of its irrevocable election to redeem all or any portion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture for cash in an amount equal to the sum of (1) 125% of the portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture elected to be redeemed plus 100% of accrued but unpaid interest thereon and (2) all liquidated damages and other amounts then due in respect of the Debenture (the “Optional Redemption Amount”) on the 30th calendar day following the Optional Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Optional Redemption Date”, and such redemption, the “Optional Redemption”); provided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company may not deliver an Optional Redemption Notice at a time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

(ii) The Optional Redemption Amount shall be payable in full on the Optional Redemption Date. If the Company elects to redeem this Debenture pursuant to this Section 6 or any other Debenture, it shall redeem all outstanding Debentures in full simultaneously by paying the Holder the applicable Optional Redemption Amount payable with respect to all outstanding Debentures on the same Optional Redemption Date. If any portion of the Optional Redemption Amount payable in respect of an Optional Redemption shall not be paid by the Company by the applicable due date, interest shall accrue thereon at an interest rate equal to the lesser of two (2%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until such amount is paid in full. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if any portion of the Optional Redemption Amount remains unpaid after such date, the Holder may elect, by written notice to the Company given at any time thereafter, to invalidate such Optional Redemption, ab initio, and, with respect to the Company’s failure to honor the Optional Redemption, the Company shall have no further right to exercise such Optional Redemption. The Holder may elect to convert the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture pursuant to Section 4 prior to actual payment in cash for any redemption under this Section 6 by the delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Conversion tendered from the time of delivery of the Optional Redemption Notice through the date all amounts owing thereon are due and paid in full.

(b) Amendments. This Debenture and any provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Holder. The term “Debenture” and all references thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.

 

(c) Assignability. This Debenture shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to be the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns. The Company shall not assign this Debenture or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Holder. The Holder may, without the consent of the Company, assign its rights hereunder (i) to any of its “affiliates”, as that term is defined under the Exchange Act, and (ii) solely during the continuance of any Event of Default, to any other Person. The Company’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, shall be required for the Holder to assign its rights hereunder to any Person that is not one of its “affiliates”, as that term is defined under the Exchange Act during any period in which an Event of Default is not then continuing. Notwithstanding anything in this Debenture to the contrary, this Debenture may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted outstanding principal amount of this Debenture represented by this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

(d) Absolute Obligation. Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Debenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, liquidated damages and accrued interest, as applicable, on this Debenture at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. This Debenture is a direct debt obligation of the Company. This Debenture ranks pari passu with all other Debentures now or hereafter issued under the terms set forth herein.

 

(e) Lost or Mutilated Debenture. If this Debenture shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Debenture, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed Debenture, a new Debenture for the principal amount of this Debenture so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Debenture, and of the ownership hereof, reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

(f) Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Debenture shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the “New York Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Debenture and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Debenture or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(g) Waiver. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Debenture shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Debenture. The failure of the Company or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Debenture on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Debenture on any other occasion. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder must be in writing.

 

(h) Severability. If any provision of this Debenture is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Debenture shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Debenture as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Debenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.

 

21

 

 

(i) Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Debenture shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Debenture and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Debenture. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. 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 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 Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

(c) Mechanics of Conversion; Floor Price Spread Payments.

 

(i) Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount; Floor Price Spread Payments. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion as of any Conversion Date hereunder shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be converted by the Conversion Price as of such Conversion Date; provided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, that if the Conversion Price exceeds the Floor Price on any Conversion Date, then (1) the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the applicable conversion hereunder shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be converted by the Floor Price as of such Conversion Date, and (2) the Company shall pay the Holder an amount in cash on the applicable Share Delivery Date with respect to such conversion (a “Floor Price Spread Amount”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the amount obtained by subtracting the Conversion Price as of such Conversion Date from the Floor Price as of such Conversion Date by (B) the amount obtained by subtracting (x) the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be converted by the Conversion Price as of such Conversion Date from (y) the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be converted by the Floor Price as of such Conversion Date.

(ii) Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion; Floor Price Spread Payments. Not later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder (A) the Conversion Shares which, on or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the applicable conversion of this Debenture). On or after the earlier of (i) the six-month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, the Company shall deliver any Conversion Shares required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 4(c) electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. Any Floor Price Spread Amount payable with respect to a conversion of the Debenture as determined in accordance with Section 4(c)(i) above shall be due and payable by the Company in full on the Share Delivery Date for such conversion. As used herein, the term “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Ordinary Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of any Notice of Conversion.

 

(iii) Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Debenture delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.

 

(iv) Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Debenture shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Debenture shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) by the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Share Delivery Date until such Conversion Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8 hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

(v) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Debenture in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii). For example, if the Holder purchases a number of Ordinary Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Debenture with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a 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 Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Debenture as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(vi) Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and payment of interest on this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and any other holders of the Debentures), not less than such aggregate number of Ordinary Shares as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture and payment of interest hereunder. The Company covenants that all Ordinary Shares that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public resale in accordance with such Registration Statement (subject to such Holder’s compliance with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement).

 

(vii) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Debenture. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

10

 

 

(viii) Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Debenture so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.

 

(d) Holder’s Conversion Limitations. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Debenture, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Debenture, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of this Debenture with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Ordinary Shares which would be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Debenture beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Debentures or the Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(d) applies, the determination of whether this Debenture is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Debenture may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates or Attribution Parties) and which principal amount of this Debenture is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(d), in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Debenture, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of this Debenture. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon conversion of this Debenture held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Debenture.

Section 5. Certain Adjustments.

 

(a) Share Dividends and Share Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in Ordinary Shares on Ordinary Shares or any Ordinary Shares Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Ordinary Shares issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of interest on, the Debentures), (ii) subdivides outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse share split) outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of Ordinary Shares or any capital shares of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(b) Subsequent Equity Sales. If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, sells or grants any option to purchase, or otherwise issues, any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire Ordinary Shares at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price and/or the then Floor Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then simultaneously with the consummation of each Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price and/or the Floor Price, as applicable, shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward share splits, recapitalizations and similar transactions following the date of the Purchase Agreement); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, the effect of any adjustment to the Conversion Price and/or Floor Price pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be to reduce and not increase the Conversion Price and/or Floor Price, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 5(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. If the Company enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, despite the prohibition set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion price at which such securities may be converted or exercised. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents subject to this Section 5(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 5(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.

 

12

 

 

(c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 5(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Ordinary Shares Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Ordinary Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete conversion of this Debenture (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Ordinary Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

(d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Debenture is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Debenture, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete conversion of this Debenture (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Ordinary Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

13

 

 

(e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Ordinary Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Ordinary Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Ordinary Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (not including any Ordinary Shares held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Debenture, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(d) on the conversion of this Debenture), the number of Ordinary Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Debenture is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(d) on the conversion of this Debenture). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) Ordinary Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Ordinary Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Debenture following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under the Debentures and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Debenture, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Debenture a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Debenture which is convertible for a corresponding number of capital shares of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Ordinary Shares acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Debenture (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Debenture) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such capital shares (but taking into account the relative value of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such capital shares, such number of capital shares and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Debenture immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Debenture and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under the Debentures and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 

14

 

 

(f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of Ordinary Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.

 

(g) Notice to the Holder.

 

(i) Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

(ii) Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Ordinary Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Ordinary Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Ordinary Shares of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital shares of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Ordinary Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Ordinary Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Debenture, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Debenture Register, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Ordinary Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Ordinary Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert this Debenture during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

Section 6. Mandatory Prepayment; Redemption.

 

(a) Mandatory Prepayment. If, at any time prior to the full repayment or full conversion of all amounts owed under this Debenture, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries receives cash proceeds from the issuance of equity or indebtedness (other than the issuance of other Debentures), in one or more financing transactions, whether publicly offered or privately arranged (including, without limitation, pursuant to the Arena ELOC), the Company shall, within one (1) Business Day of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary’s receipt of such proceeds, inform the Holder of such receipt via written notice (a “Mandatory Prepayment Notice”), whereupon the Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion to require, by written notice to the Company delivered within five (5) Business Days of the Holder’s receipt of any such Mandatory Prepayment Notice, that the Company immediately apply up to twenty percent (20%) of the gross cash proceeds received from the applicable financing transaction to prepay the Company’s then outstanding obligations under the Debentures (a “Mandatory Prepayment Exercise Notice”). The Company shall, within one (1) Business Day of the Company’s receipt of a Mandatory Prepayment Exercise Notice, the portion of the gross cash proceeds received from the applicable financing transaction indicated in the Mandatory Prepayment Exercise Notice (not to exceed 20%) to prepay the Company’s then outstanding obligations under the Debentures; provided, such gross cash proceeds shall be applied to prepay all of the Debentures then outstanding pro rata in proportion to the respective outstanding principal amount of each Debenture at the time the Holder delivers the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Exercise Notice.

 

15

 

 

(b) Optional Redemption at Election of Company.

 

(i) Subject to the provisions of this Section 6(b), the Company may deliver a notice to the Holder at any time (an “Optional Redemption Notice”, and the date such notice is deemed delivered hereunder, the “Optional Redemption Notice Date”) of its irrevocable election to redeem all or any portion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture for cash in an amount equal to the sum of (1) 125% of the portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture elected to be redeemed plus 100% of accrued but unpaid interest thereon and (2) all liquidated damages and other amounts then due in respect of the Debenture (the “Optional Redemption Amount”) on the 30th calendar day following the Optional Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Optional Redemption Date”, and such redemption, the “Optional Redemption”); provided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company may not deliver an Optional Redemption Notice at a time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

(ii) The Optional Redemption Amount shall be payable in full on the Optional Redemption Date. If the Company elects to redeem this Debenture pursuant to this Section 6 or any other Debenture, it shall redeem all outstanding Debentures in full simultaneously by paying the Holder the applicable Optional Redemption Amount payable with respect to all outstanding Debentures on the same Optional Redemption Date. If any portion of the Optional Redemption Amount payable in respect of an Optional Redemption shall not be paid by the Company by the applicable due date, interest shall accrue thereon at an interest rate equal to the lesser of two (2%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until such amount is paid in full. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if any portion of the Optional Redemption Amount remains unpaid after such date, the Holder may elect, by written notice to the Company given at any time thereafter, to invalidate such Optional Redemption, ab initio, and, with respect to the Company’s failure to honor the Optional Redemption, the Company shall have no further right to exercise such Optional Redemption. The Holder may elect to convert the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture pursuant to Section 4 prior to actual payment in cash for any redemption under this Section 6 by the delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Conversion tendered from the time of delivery of the Optional Redemption Notice through the date all amounts owing thereon are due and paid in full.

 

Section 7. Negative Covenants. As long as any portion of this Debenture remains outstanding, unless the Holder shall have otherwise given prior written consent, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company to, directly or indirectly:

 

(a) other than Permitted Indebtedness, enter into, create, incur, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind, including, but not limited to, a guarantee, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom;

 

16

(b) Amendments. This Debenture and any provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Holder. The term “Debenture” and all references thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.

 

(c) Assignability. This Debenture shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to be the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns. The Company shall not assign this Debenture or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Holder. The Holder may, without the consent of the Company, assign its rights hereunder (i) to any of its “affiliates”, as that term is defined under the Exchange Act, and (ii) solely during the continuance of any Event of Default, to any other Person. The Company’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, shall be required for the Holder to assign its rights hereunder to any Person that is not one of its “affiliates”, as that term is defined under the Exchange Act during any period in which an Event of Default is not then continuing. Notwithstanding anything in this Debenture to the contrary, this Debenture may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted outstanding principal amount of this Debenture represented by this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

(d) Absolute Obligation. Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Debenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, liquidated damages and accrued interest, as applicable, on this Debenture at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

(e) Lost or Mutilated Debenture. If this Debenture shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Debenture, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed Debenture, a new Debenture for the principal amount of this Debenture so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Debenture, and of the ownership hereof, reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

 

21

 

 

(f) Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Debenture shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the “New York Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Debenture and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Debenture or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(g) Waiver. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Debenture shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Debenture. The failure of the Company or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Debenture on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Debenture on any other occasion. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder must be in writing.

 

(h) Severability. If any provision of this Debenture is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Debenture shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Debenture as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Debenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.

 

22

 

 

(i) Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Debenture shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Debenture and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Debenture. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. 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 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, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Debenture.

 

(j) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

(k) Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Debenture and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

(l) Payments. So long as the Maturity Date has not yet occurred and the Debenture has not been accelerated, payments made hereunder (other than payments effected pursuant to any conversion of the Debenture) shall be applied, (i) first, to reimbursable expenses of the Holder and liquidated damages then due and payable hereunder and/or pursuant to any other Transaction Documents, and (ii) then payments matching specific scheduled payments then due shall be applied to those scheduled payments. At any time after the Maturity Date or after the Debenture has been accelerated, all payments remitted to the Holder by the Company and all proceeds of the collateral securing the Company’s obligations hereunder or any enforcement action (including any payments by any guarantors of the Company’s obligations hereunder) received by the Holder shall be applied as follows: (i) first, to the reimbursable expenses of the Holder, indemnity claims of the Holder and liquidated damages then due and payable to the Holder hereunder and/or pursuant to any other Transaction Documents, (ii) second, to pay interest due and payable in respect of the Debenture until paid in fall, (iii) third, to pay principal of the Debenture until paid in full; (iv) fourth, to pay any other obligations then due in respect of the Debenture or any other Transaction Documents; and (v) lastly, to the Company or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.

 

(m) Costs and Expenses. The Company agrees to pay the Holder, immediately upon written notice from the Holder, all out-of-pocket costs, expenses, and disbursements, including without limitation, legal expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by the Holder in connection with: (i) the collection, attempted collection, or negotiation and documentation of any settlement or workout of any payment due hereunder, (ii) enforcement of this Debenture or any other Transaction Document (including without limitation, any costs and expenses of any third party provider engaged by the Holder for such purpose), (iii) collection, protection, or enforcement of any rights of the Holder in the collateral securing the Company’s obligations hereunder, and (iv) any suit or proceeding whatsoever in regard to this Debenture or the protection or enforcement of the lien of any instrument securing this Debenture, including, without limitation, in connection with any litigation, mediation, bankruptcy or administrative proceeding, and including any appellate proceeding or judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding in connection therewith.

 

(n) Secured Obligations. The obligations of the Company under the Debentures are secured by (i) a pledge of all assets of Cowcumbla Investments Pty Ltd., an Australian proprietary company and direct subsidiary of AOI (“Cowcumbla”) and Cootamundra Oilseeds Pty Ltd., an Australian proprietary Company and wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Cowcumbla (“Cootamundra”), pursuant to the General Security Deed, dated as of the First Closing Date, by and among Cowcumbla, Cootamundra and the Holder (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Australian General Security Deed”), (ii) the Australian Mortgage, and (iii) the other Security Documents.

 

23

 

 

(o) Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of the Company under the Debentures are guaranteed by (i) AOI and each AOI Subsidiary pursuant to the Australian Guarantee, (ii) EDOC pursuant to the EDOC Guarantee, and (iii) Gary Seaton pursuant to the Individual Guarantee, each dated as of the First Closing Date (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time).

 

Section 10. New Subsidiaries. If the Company or any Subsidiary forms or acquires any new direct or indirect Subsidiary, or any Subsidiary merges, amalgamates, or consolidates with or into any other Person and such Subsidiary is not the surviving entity as a result of such merger, amalgamation, or consolidation (any such surviving entity, a “Surviving Entity”), the Company agrees to, or to cause such Subsidiary or Surviving Entity to, concurrently with such formation, acquisition, merger, amalgamation or consolidation, as applicable, (i) provide notice to the Holder of such formation, acquisition, merger, amalgamation or consolidation, (ii) cause such newly formed or acquired Subsidiary or Surviving Entity to become a party to the Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to an assumption agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Holder, and (iii) execute and/or deliver, and/or cause such newly formed or acquired Subsidiary or Surviving Entity and any other applicable Subsidiary to execute and/or deliver, such other agreements or documents as are determined by the Holder to be necessary or advisable in order for all of the capital shares in such newly formed or acquired Subsidiary or Surviving Entity to be pledged as additional collateral for the obligations of the Company under the Debentures and for such newly formed or acquired Subsidiary or Surviving Entity to pledge all of its assets as additional collateral for the obligations of the Company under the Debentures, and (iv) deliver to the Holder an opinion of counsel in form and substance acceptable to the Holder addressing, among other things, the due authorization, due execution and delivery and enforceability of the foregoing documents with respect to such Subsidiary or Surviving Entity.

 

Section 11. Disclosure. Upon receipt or delivery by the Company or any Subsidiary of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Debenture, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days after such receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, non-public information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to the Holder contemporaneously with delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such indication, the Holder shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries.

On or before the second Trading Day (the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”) following the date on which the Holder sent the Exercise Notice to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent, and upon receipt by the Company of payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which all or a portion of this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price” and together with the Exercise Notice, the “Exercise Delivery Documents”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or by cashless exercise, in which case there shall be no Aggregate Exercise Price provided), the Company shall (or direct its transfer agent to) either (i) cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by its transfer agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (x) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to, or resale of the Warrant Shares by, the Holder, or (y) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), or otherwise issue and deliver by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise (or deliver such Ordinary Shares in electronic format if requested by the Holder). Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate (but not Rule 144) purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) business days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 5) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.

 

If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to issue to the Holder the respective Ordinary Shares by the respective Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise in Holder’s sole discretion in addition to all other rights and remedies at law, under this Warrant, or otherwise, and such failure shall also be deemed an event of default under the Debenture, a material breach under this Warrant, and a material breach under the Purchase Agreement. In addition, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each 1,000 Warrant Shares subject to such exercise, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third (3rd) Trading Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable.

 

 

(b) Cashless Exercise. If at any time after 180 days following the First Closing Date (“Registration Deadline”), there is no effective registration statement registering, or no currently prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder (a “Registration Default”), then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(77) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice or (z) the Bid Price of the Ordinary Shares on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 1(a) or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if the date of such Exercise Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

 

(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

 

(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrant being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 1(b).

 

Bid Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) the bid price of the Ordinary Shares for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Principal Market on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b)  if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Principal Market, the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Ordinary Shares are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Ordinary Shares are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Ordinary Shares so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of an Ordinary Share as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the date that is sixty (60) months following the Issuance Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 1(b).

 

(c) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Warrant Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then-current fair market value of a Warrant Share by such fraction.

(d) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Exercise Notice, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates (the “Affiliates”), and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Ordinary Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Ordinary Shares Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 1(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 1(d), in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at the time of the respective calculation hereunder. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

 

(e) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Company’s transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant (including but not limited to Section 1(a) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the respective Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder, within one (1) business day of Holder’s request, the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue multiplied by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder within one (1) business day of Holder’s request the number of Ordinary Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases, or effectuates a cashless exercise hereunder for, Ordinary Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Ordinary Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a 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 Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(f) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by an Assignment Form, in a form that is reasonably acceptable to Holder and the Company, duly executed by the Holder. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Exercise Notice and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares. The Company shall pay all attorney fees required for the issuance of attorney legal opinions for removal of restrictive legends on Warrant Shares.

(g) Closing of Books. The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

2. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS.

 

(a) Share Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions of its Ordinary Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Ordinary Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Ordinary Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse share split) outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of Ordinary Shares any shares of share capital of the Company, then in each case (excluding a reverse share split, in which event this Section shall only be applicable one-time) the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. This proportional adjustment shall continue until such time as the Warrant is fully exercised.

 

(b) Subsequent Equity Sales. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company issues or sells, announces any offer, sale, or other disposition of, or in accordance with this Section 2 is deemed to have issued, sold or granted (or makes an announcement regarding the same), any Ordinary Shares and/or Ordinary Shares Equivalents (including the issuance or sale of Ordinary Shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold solely in connection with an Exempt Issuance) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred to herein as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything contained herein, if at the time the Holder elects to exercise the Warrant the New Issuance Price is higher than the Exercise Price determined pursuant to the second paragraph of this Warrant, the Exercise Price shall be as determined by such second paragraph. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Exercise Price and the New Issuance Price under this Section 2(b)), the following shall be applicable:

 

(i) If the Company in any manner grants, issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell) any Options (as defined below) and the lowest price per share for which one Ordinary Share is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option (as defined below) or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Ordinary Shares Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such Ordinary Share shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option (as defined below) for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(b)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one Ordinary Share is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option (as defined below) or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Ordinary Shares Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one Ordinary Share upon the granting, issuance or sale of such Option (as defined below), upon exercise of such Option (as defined below) and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Ordinary Shares Equivalents issuable upon exercise of such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option (as defined below) for which one Ordinary Share is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon the exercise of any such Options (as defined below) or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Ordinary Shares Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting, issuance or sale of such Option (as defined below), upon exercise of such Option (as defined below) and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Ordinary Shares Equivalents issuable upon exercise of such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (as defined below) (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares or of such Ordinary Shares Equivalents upon the exercise of such Options (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms of or upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Ordinary Shares Equivalents. “Option” means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares or Convertible Securities. “Convertible Securities” means any shares or other security (other than Options) that is at any time and under any circumstances, directly or indirectly, convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or which otherwise entitles the holder thereof to acquire, any Ordinary Shares.

(ii) If the Company in any manner issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to issue or sell) any Ordinary Shares Equivalents and the lowest price per share for which one Ordinary Share is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Ordinary Shares Equivalents for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 2(b)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one Ordinary Share is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one Ordinary Share upon the issuance or sale of the Ordinary Shares Equivalents and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Ordinary Shares Equivalents or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Ordinary Shares Equivalents for which one Ordinary Share is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Ordinary Shares Equivalents (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such Ordinary Shares Equivalents plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Ordinary Shares Equivalents (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Ordinary Shares Equivalents or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, and if any such issuance or sale of such Ordinary Shares Equivalents is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(b), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale.

 

(iii) If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Ordinary Shares Equivalents, or the rate at which any Ordinary Shares Equivalents are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares increases or decreases at any time (other than proportional changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to in Section 2(a)), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Ordinary Shares Equivalents provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 2(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Ordinary Shares Equivalents that were outstanding as of the date this Warrant was issued are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Ordinary Shares Equivalents and the Ordinary Shares deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

(iv) If any Option and/or Ordinary Shares Equivalents and/or Adjustment Right (as defined below) is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (as determined by the Holder, the “Primary Security”, and such Option and/or Ordinary Shares Equivalents and/or Adjustment Right (as defined below), the “Secondary Securities”), together comprising one integrated transaction, (or one or more transactions if such issuances or sales or deemed issuances or sales of securities of the Company either (A) have at least one investor or purchaser in common, (B) are consummated in reasonable proximity to each other and/or (C) are consummated under the same plan of financing) the aggregate consideration per Ordinary Share with respect to such Primary Security shall be deemed to be equal to the difference of (x) the lowest price per share for which one Ordinary Share was issued (or was deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) or 2(b)(ii) above, as applicable) in such integrated transaction solely with respect to such Primary Security, minus (y) with respect to such Secondary Securities, the sum of (I) the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of each such Option, if any, (II) the fair market value (as determined by the Holder in good faith) or the Black Scholes Value (as defined below), as applicable, of such Adjustment Right (as defined below), if any, and (III) the fair market value (as determined by the Holder) of such Ordinary Shares Equivalents, if any, in each case, as determined on a per share basis in accordance with this Section 2(b)(iv). If any Ordinary Shares, Options or Ordinary Shares Equivalents are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Ordinary Shares, Option or Ordinary Shares Equivalents, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Value (as defined below)) will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any Ordinary Shares, Options or Ordinary Shares Equivalents are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Ordinary Shares, Option or Ordinary Shares Equivalents, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Value (as defined below)) will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any Ordinary Shares, Options or Ordinary Shares Equivalents are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Ordinary Shares, Option or Ordinary Shares Equivalents, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Value (as defined below)) will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Ordinary Shares, Options or Ordinary Shares Equivalents (as the case may be). The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company). “Adjustment Right” means any right granted with respect to any securities issued in connection with, or with respect to, any issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale hereunder) of Ordinary Shares (other than rights of the type described in Sections 2(c) and 2(d) hereof) that could result in a decrease in the net consideration received by the Company in connection with, or with respect to, such securities (including, without limitation, any cash settlement rights, cash adjustment or other similar rights).

 

5

 

(v) If the Company takes a record of the holders of Ordinary Shares for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Ordinary Shares, Options or in Ordinary Shares Equivalents or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares, Options or Ordinary Shares Equivalents, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the Ordinary Shares deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).

 

(c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Ordinary Shares Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Ordinary Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Ordinary Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

(d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Ordinary Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

(e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Ordinary Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Ordinary Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Ordinary Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (not including any Ordinary Shares held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any Beneficial Ownership Limitation on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of Ordinary Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any Beneficial Ownership Limitation on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Ordinary Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Ordinary Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within thirty (30) days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity, as of the date of consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Ordinary Shares of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration is in the form of cash, shares or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Ordinary Shares are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Ordinary Shares of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Ordinary Shares will be deemed to have received ordinary shares or common stock, as applicable, of the Successor Entity (which entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the date that is sixty (60) months following the Issuance Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the highest VWAP during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the Trading Day of the Holder’s request pursuant to this Section 2(e) and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the date that is sixty (60) months following the Issuance Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within the later of (i) five (5) Business Days of the Holder’s election and (ii) the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of share capital or capital stock, as applicable, of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Ordinary Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of share capital or capital stock, as applicable (but taking into account the relative value of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of share capital or capital stock, as applicable, such number of shares of share capital or capital stock, as applicable, and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

(f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 2, the number of Ordinary Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

(g) Notice to Holder.

 

(i) Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 2, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

(ii) Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Ordinary Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Ordinary Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Ordinary Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of share capital of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Ordinary Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Ordinary Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the records of the Company, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Ordinary Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Ordinary Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

3. NON-CIRCUMVENTION. The Company covenants and agrees that it will not, by amendment of its Organizational Documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder as set forth in this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any Ordinary Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, (iii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant, and (iii) shall, for so long as this Warrant is outstanding, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, one (1) times the number of Ordinary Shares into which the Warrants are then exercisable into to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

4. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A SHAREHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Warrant, in and of itself, shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

5. REISSUANCE.

 

(a) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company will, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.

 

(b) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, and shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date.

 

6. TRANSFER. This Warrant shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights, interests or obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by the Company without the prior signed written consent of the Holder, which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of the Holder (any such assignment or transfer shall be null and void if the Company does not obtain the prior signed written consent of the Holder). This Warrant or any of the severable rights and obligations inuring to the benefit of or to be performed by Holder hereunder may be assigned by Holder to a third party, in whole or in part, without the need to obtain the Company’s consent thereto.

 

7. AUTHORIZED SHARES. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Principal Market upon which the Ordinary Shares may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

9

 

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

8. NONWAIVER AND EXPENSES. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

 

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Ordinary Shares or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

10. REMEDIES. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

11. NOTICES. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with the notice provisions contained in the Purchase Agreement. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice (i) immediately upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, the calculation of such adjustment and (ii) at least 20 days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Ordinary Shares, (B) with respect to any grants, issuances or sales of any shares or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares or other property, pro rata to the holders of Ordinary Shares or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder.

 

12. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. The terms of this Warrant may be amended or waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
