ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS AND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
1.1 Definitions. Capitalized words and phrases used in this Agreement but not otherwise defined herein have the definitions given in Article 11.
1.2 Accounting Principles. The character or amount of any asset, liability, capital account or reserve and of any item of income or expense required to be determined pursuant to this Agreement, and any consolidation or other accounting computation required to be made pursuant to this Agreement, and the construction of any definition in this Agreement containing a financial term, will be determined or made, as the case may be, in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), to the extent applicable, unless such principles are inconsistent with the express requirements of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 2
ADVANCE, INTEREST AND PAYMENTS
2.1 Revenue Loan Advance. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement:
(a) Initial Advance. Lender will make the Initial Advance to Company on the date of Closing.
(b) Subsequent Advance. Any time beginning 15 days prior to an Advance Period through the end of such Advance Period as set forth on Schedule 2.1(b), Company may by delivering to Lender a written Advance Request in the form provided by Lender to Company (“Advance Request”) request one or more Subsequent Advances in accordance with the Schedule 2.1(b) up to a maximum for all Advances equal to the Revenue Loan Amount. If all of the conditions set forth on Schedule 2.1(b) are satisfied on the date of the Advance Request, Lender will advance to Company the requested amount within 15 business days of receipt of the Advance Request. Contemporaneously with each Subsequent Advance, Company shall deliver to Lender a certificate signed on behalf of Company by the Key Person (or other officer of Company acceptable to Lender) confirming that Company is not in default and no Event of Default has occurred and that all representations and warranties of Company in Article 3 are true as of such date (except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date). Lender may, in its sole discretion, waive or modify any one or more of the conditions to any Subsequent Advance. Company must request and accept delivery of at least the Minimum Subsequent Advance on or before the Minimum Subsequent Advance Deadline.
(c) Not a Revolving Facility. Company acknowledges and agrees that the credit facility granted hereunder is a multiple advance facility, but is not a revolving facility, and Company may not borrow, repay and re-borrow Advances.
2.2 Interest. Interest on the Amount Advanced shall accrue from and after the date of Closing at such rate as is necessary to generate an amount equal to the Minimum Interest (the “Interest”), provided, however, in no case shall such rate exceed the maximum rate allowable under applicable law.
2.3 Promise to Pay. Company promises to pay to the order of Lender, or its assigns in lawful money of the United States of America, for application against the Amount Advanced, together with the Interest as follows (with all payments to be applied first to fees and expenses incurred by Lender, then to accrued interest, and finally to principal, which Lender shall enter in its records of payments made by Company, and such records will be deemed conclusive evidence of the subject matter thereof unless proven otherwise):
(a) Maturity. The Amount Advanced and accrued but unpaid Interest will be immediately due on the Maturity Date and will be payable on demand any time thereafter.
(b) Monthly Payments. Commencing on the Payment Commencement Date and continuing thereafter until maturity or earlier prepayment in full, Company shall pay to Lender, on the 15th day of each month (or the next business day if such date is not a business day) (each a “Payment Date”), by wire transfer or Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfer to the Lender Account described on Schedule 2.3(b)(1) an amount equal to the product of (i) all Revenue for the immediately preceding month multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Revenue Percentage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, payments made by ACH transfer must be initiated no later than three business days prior to the applicable Payment Date. Lender, in its sole discretion, may apply any monthly payment first to offset any outstanding invoices for legal or other fees that are 60 or more days overdue and then toward satisfaction of the Obligations. If any payment due pursuant to this Agreement is not paid when due, then Company will be assessed on the following day, automatically and without notice from Lender, a service fee of $500 payable to Lender (or other loan servicing agent). All service fees for missed payments are due on the day they arise. Successive service fees will be assessed and due on the 15th day of each month until Company has paid such past due amounts. All service fees will bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 12.7 from the date they arise. A pro-forma payment schedule that is based on Company’s financial projections is attached as Schedule 2.3(b)(2).
1
(c) Annual Payment Cap. Notwithstanding Section 2.3(b), for each calendar year during the term of this Agreement, Company will not be required to make aggregate monthly payments under Section 2.3(b) in excess of the amount equal to 120% of the aggregate dollar amount for such calendar year set forth in the column labeled “Projected Annual Debt Service” of Schedule 2.3(b)(2) (the “Annual Payment Cap”). Once the monthly payments received by Lender for a calendar year equal the Annual Payment Cap, Company will not be obligated to make additional monthly payments pursuant to Section 2.3(b) for the remainder of such calendar year and the next monthly payment due under Section 2.3(b) would be payable on January 15th of the following year.
(d) Prepayment. Company may at its option prepay the Amount Advanced balance and accrued but unpaid Interest on any Payment Date without penalty or premium (other than payment of the Minimum Interest).
(e) Termination of Payment Obligation. The payment obligation shall terminate upon Lender receiving payments from Company equal to the Amount Advanced plus the Interest and all other amounts due pursuant to this Agreement (the “Payoff Date”).
2.4 Security Interest. Company hereby assigns and grants to Lender, a continuing security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral. Upon indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and termination of Lender’s obligation to make Advances hereunder, Lender shall promptly release such security interest. Company hereby authorizes Lender to take all such actions as are reasonably necessary to, in Lender’s sole discretion, perfect its security interest in the Collateral, including the filing of such financing statements and amendments and continuations thereof as may be useful in order to perfect such security interest and, if any Collateral is covered by a certificate of title, Company will from time to time upon request of Lender execute such documents as may be required to have such security interest properly noted on a certificate of title. In addition, Company authorizes Lender to file, from time to time, (and reaffirms its authorization of the filing of any financing statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement) such financing statements against the Collateral described as “all assets” or the like as Lender reasonably deems necessary or useful to perfect such security interest. The security interest granted to Lender is subordinate to the Senior Indebtedness.
2.5 Revival and Reinstatement of Indebtedness. If the payment of all or any part of the Obligations by Company or the transfer to Lender of any Collateral or other property should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights (a “Voidable Transfer”), and if Lender is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the advice of its counsel, then the amount of such Voidable Transfer or the amount of such Voidable Transfer that Lender is required or elects to repay or restore, including all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender in connection therewith, and the Obligations shall automatically be revived, reinstated and restored by such amount and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.

Company shall permit Lender, at Lender’s expense, to visit and inspect Company’s properties; examine its books of account and records; and discuss Company’s affairs, finances, and accounts with its officers during normal business hours of Company as may be reasonably requested by Lender; provided, however, that Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 5.6 to provide access to any information that it reasonably and in good faith considers to be a trade secret or confidential information (unless covered by an enforceable confidentiality agreement, in form acceptable to Company) or the disclosure of which would or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between Company and its counsel.
5.7 Audit Right.
(a) Upon reasonable advance notice from Lender, Company shall, not more than once every 12 months, make the financial books and records of Company available to Lender and its designated representatives for review and audit so that Lender may verify (i) the amount of payments made by Company to Lender and (ii) the aggregate Revenues. Lender shall provide the full written results of such review and audit to Company within 10 days after the completion of such review and audit. Subject in each case to Section 5.7(b), in the event that a review and audit by Lender or its designated representatives results in a determination that the amounts that were paid to Lender (A) were underpaid by less than 10%, Company shall pay to Lender the amount unpaid plus interest at the rate of 1% per month on the amount unpaid, but Lender shall bear all of the costs, fees and expenses incurred by Lender as a result of the review and audit or (B) were underpaid by 10% or more, Company shall pay to Lender, in addition to the amount unpaid plus interest at the rate of 1% per month on the amount unpaid, all of the reasonable third-party costs, fees and expenses actually incurred by Lender as a result of the review and audit.
11
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Company disputes or disagrees with any of the results of Lender’s review and audit, Company may deliver to Lender, within 15 days of its receipt of the written results of Lender’s review and audit, a written dispute notice of its specific objections to Lender’s review and audit (a “Dispute Notice”). Upon the delivery by Company of a Dispute Notice, Company and Lender shall in good faith, and in consultation with their respective accountants, work together to resolve all disputed issues set forth in such Dispute Notice. To the extent that the disputed items set forth in the Dispute Notice remain unresolved after 20 business days following the receipt of the Dispute Notice, Company and Lender shall submit such unresolved items to an accounting firm of national or regional reputation that is mutually agreed upon by Company and Lender (the “Accountants”). If the issues in dispute are submitted to the Accountants for resolution: (i) Company and Lender shall each furnish to the Accountants such documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Accountants may reasonably request and are available to that party and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accountants any material relating to the review and audit in question and to discuss such review and audit with the Accountants; (ii) the determination by the Accountants of the actual amounts that should have been paid to Lender during the period subject to review and audit (the “Settled Audit Amount”), as set forth in a notice delivered to both parties by the Accountants within 30 days of the Accountants’ engagement, will be binding and conclusive on the parties; and (iii) Company and Lender shall bear the costs, fees and expenses of the Accountants for such determination in the same manner they would bear the costs, fees and expenses of Lender for the review and audit in accordance with Section 5.7(a). Within 10 business days following the determination of the Settled Audit Amount, the appropriate payments shall be made by Company, if any, in accordance with Section 5.7(a), based solely on the Settled Audit Amount.

Proceeds of key-person life insurance policies received by Company while any Obligations are outstanding will, in the sole discretion of Lender, be used, in whole or in part, to satisfy the Obligations. Failure to obtain key-person insurance within such 60 day period will be considered an Event of Default under Section 7.2 of this Agreement. It is further agreed that prior to any person assuming any office, position, or responsibilities currently held by the Key Person, Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such person provides Lender with written authorization to conduct a background check within 30 days after such person’s appointment; provided that such background check shall only be for informational purposes and shall not give Lender any rights to veto such replacement Key Person. Failure by such person to provide written consent within such 30 day period will be considered an Event of Default under Section 7.2 of this Agreement.
5.13 Compliance. Company shall comply with the requirements of all applicable state and federal laws, and of all rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject.

Company will register with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office its intellectual property rights including revisions or additions thereto with any product before the sale or licensing of the product to any third party, in each case to the extent registrable and the Governing Body of Company in good faith deems appropriate for the development of Company’s business and in the best interest of Company and its equity holders. To the extent that the Governing Body of Company in good faith determines appropriate for the development of Company’s business and in the best interests of Company and its equity holders, Company will: (i) protect, defend, and maintain the validity and enforceability of the intellectual property rights and promptly advise Lender in writing of any known or claimed infringements thereof, and (ii) not allow any intellectual property rights to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without Lender’s prior written consent.

All service fees for late Monthly Questionnaires are due on the day that they arise. Successive service fees will be charged and due on the 15th day of each month until Company has submitted all past due Monthly Questionnaires. All service fees will bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 12.7 from the date they arise.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
8.1 General Remedies. If any Event of Default specified in Section 7.3 shall occur, any commitment to make Advances hereunder shall automatically terminate and all Obligations of Company to Lender hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents shall automatically become immediately due and payable without notice. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may, without notice of any kind (including, without limitation, notice of acceleration or of intention to accelerate, presentment and demand or protest, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Company) do any one or more of the following:
(a) declare the entire Amount Advanced, Interest and all other Obligations, or any part thereof, immediately due and payable (provided that the Minimum Interest used to determine the Interest in such event will be the maximum Minimum Interest determined in accordance with Schedule 11.3, which will include all actual adjustments to the Minimum Interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but will exclude speculative adjustments);
(b) terminate any commitment to make Advances hereunder;
(c) exercise any and all other legal or equitable rights afforded by the Transaction Documents and the laws of the Applicable Jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction as Lender shall deem appropriate, and
(d) take any action permitted by this Agreement or by applicable law, including the Uniform Commercial Code then in effect in the Applicable Jurisdiction, to satisfy the Obligations of Company owed to Lender, including, but not limited to:
(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing Lender, may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, without notice, hearing or process except as specified below, take possession and maintain control over the Collateral. Within two days following demand by Lender for possession and control of the Collateral following an Event of Default, Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, assemble and turn over to Lender all Collateral of Company and any Related Business then held by Company and/or any Related Business.
(ii) Lender may in its sole discretion sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as Lender may deem commercially reasonable, and Lender may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale, and in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set off the amount of such purchase price against the Obligations. Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, with notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Lender may abandon any such proposed sale. Company acknowledges that any private sales of Collateral effected by Lender may result in terms less favorable to a seller than public sales but Company agrees that such private sales shall nevertheless be deemed commercially reasonable. Company shall pay all costs, fees and expenses incurred by Lender, including reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs, in connection with any such sale.
18
(iii) Lender may enter upon and into and take possession of all or such part or parts of the properties owned or occupied by Company, including lands, buildings, equipment and other property as may be necessary or appropriate in the judgment of Lender to permit or enable Lender to complete the processing or collection of all or any part of the Collateral as Lender may elect, and use and operate such properties for such purposes and for such length of time as Lender may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate for such purposes without the payment of any compensation to Company therefor.
8.2 Minimum Interest Multiple Remedies.
(a) Minimum Interest Increase on Payment Event of Default. Following the occurrence of any Payment Event of Default and in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by this Agreement or applicable law, for each payment not timely made under this Agreement, the applicable Minimum Interest multiple will be increased by 0.015 on the Payoff Date; provided that for the first two Payment Events of Default and for purposes of this Section 8.2 only, Company will have 15 days to cure such instances of a Payment Event of Default without a corresponding increase to the Minimum Interest multiple. The applicable Minimum Interest multiple will be increased regardless of whether Lender notifies Company of any Payment Event of Default. If Company has not fully cured such Payment Event of Default at the end of such 15 day period, the applicable Minimum Interest multiple will increase as described above. Beginning with the third Payment Event of Default and continuing with each Payment Event of Default thereafter, the applicable Minimum Interest multiple will increase by 0.015 on the Payoff Date upon the occurrence of each such Payment Event of Default regardless of whether or not such Payment Event of Default is subsequently cured.
(b) [Intentionally omitted.]
(c) Indebtedness. During the term of this Agreement, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by this Agreement or applicable law, for each instance of noncompliance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement (an “Additional Indebtedness Breach”), the greater of the following remedies (in terms of dollar amount) will be applied automatically and regardless of whether Lender notifies Company of the Additional Indebtedness Breach: (i) the applicable Minimum Interest multiple will increase by 0.10 on the Payoff Date or (ii) Company will be assessed a service fee equal to 50% of the principal amount of the unauthorized Indebtedness incurred by Company.

19
8.3 Notice of Sale.

Such disposition shall be established by affidavit of a representative of Lender, receipts or other reasonable method.
8.4 Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. The rights and remedies of Lender hereunder are cumulative and nonexclusive and the exercise of any one or more of the remedies provided for herein or under applicable law shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the other remedies of Lender so long as any part of the Obligations remain unsatisfied. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy by Lender preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
8.5 Application of Proceeds. Any payments or proceeds received by Lender from the Collateral shall be applied to the payment of costs, fees and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with performing, managing, maintaining or selling the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and the balance, if any, shall be applied by Lender to payment of the Obligations, in order of application as Lender shall reasonably determine.
8.6 Notice to Account Debtors. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of (a) any Event of Default under Section 7.3, or (b) upon any other Event of Default (provided Lender has declared all Obligations immediately due and payable following such Event of Default), Lender may notify any or all account debtors of the existence of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral and require such account debtors to pay or remit all sums due or to become due directly to Lender or its nominee.
8.7 Performance by Lender. If Company does not perform any covenant, duty or agreement in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, Lender may, at its option, perform or attempt to perform, such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of Company. In such event, any amount expended by Lender in such performance or attempted performance will be payable by Company to Lender on demand, will become part of the Obligations and will bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 12.7 from the date of such expenditure by Lender until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that Lender does not assume and will never have, except by express written consent of Lender, any liability or responsibility for the performance of any covenant, duty or agreement of Company. Lender will have (and is hereby granted in such event) a royalty-free license to use intellectual property rights of Company to complete production of, advertisement for, and disposition of any Collateral and Lender will have a license to enter into, occupy, and use Company’s premises and the Collateral without charge to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document.
8.8 Delegation of Duties and Rights. Lender may perform any of its duties or exercise any of its rights under the Transaction Documents by or through its officers, members of its Governing Body, employees, attorneys, agents or other representatives.
8.9 Expenditures by Lender. Company shall indemnify Lender for all court costs, attorneys’ fees, other costs of collection and other sums spent by Lender pursuant to the exercise of any right (including, without limitation, any effort to collect amounts due or otherwise enforce this Agreement) provided herein. All such amounts will be payable to Lender on demand and will bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 12.7 from the date spent until the date repaid.

(d) place upon Company’s books and records relating to the Collateral covered by the security interest granted hereby a notation or legend stating that such are subject to a security interest held by Lender.
8.11 Power of Attorney.
(a) Company hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (i) endorse Company’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Company’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any account or drafts against account debtors; (iii) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Lender determines reasonable; (iv) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Company’s insurance policies; (v) pay, contest or settle any lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (vi) transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender or a third party as the UCC permits.
(b) Company hereby appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Company’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Lender is under no further obligation to make Advances hereunder.
(c) Lender’s foregoing appointment as attorney in fact of Company, and all of Lender’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Lender’s obligation to provide Advances terminates.
8.12 Notification to Company. Lender may, but is under no obligation, to use reasonable efforts to notify Company of any of the foregoing actions by Lender in this Article 8; provided, however, the parties hereto expressly agree that the failure of Lender to provide notice shall not in any way affect or impair any action taken by Lender, it being understood that any absolute obligation of notice is hereby waived by Company.

SCHEDULE 11.1
APPLICABLE REVENUE PERCENTAGE
(a)
Between the Effective Date and December 31, 2020 (inclusive) the Applicable Revenue Percentage will be 2.25% of Revenue for all payments due during any month within such period.
Between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021 (inclusive) the Applicable Revenue Percentage will be 2.50% of Revenue for all payments due during any month within such period.
Between January 1, 2022 and the Maturity Date (inclusive) the Applicable Revenue Percentage will be 3.00% of Revenue for all payments due during any month within such period.
(b)
If the Revenue or Reported Revenue is not equal to at least 80% of Projected Revenue (the “ARP Threshold”) for any Revenue Test Period, the Applicable Revenue Percentage for all subsequent monthly payments (beginning with the payment due the following January 15) will, automatically and without notice from Lender, increase by 0.50%.
For clarity, the terms “Revenue” and “Reported Revenue” have separate meanings (even though it is expected that these amounts will be the same). The determination of whether the ARP Threshold has been met for the corresponding Revenue Test Period will be made initially based off of Reported Revenue (as reported in the Monthly Questionnaires delivered by Company to Lender pursuant to Section 5.19). If Company fails to meet the ARP Threshold based off of Reported Revenue, then the adjustment to the Applicable Revenue Percentage made pursuant to part (b) of this Schedule 11.1 will be effective immediately beginning with the payment due on January 15 of the year immediately following the applicable Revenue Test Period. If it appears initially that Company met the ARP Threshold for the corresponding Revenue Test Period based off of Reported Revenue, but it is later discovered that Company failed to meet the ARP Threshold based off of actual Revenue (as reported in the Financial Statements), then the adjustment to the Applicable Revenue Percentage made pursuant to part (b) of this Schedule 11.1 will be effective retroactively beginning with the payment due on January 15 of the year immediately following the applicable Revenue Test Period.
If Company fails to meet the ARP Threshold for two or more consecutive Revenue Test Periods, the adjustments made pursuant to part (b) of this Schedule 11.1 will be cumulative. If, after failing to meet the ARP Threshold for one or more previous Revenue Test Periods, Company meets the ARP Threshold for a subsequent Revenue Test Period, any previous adjustments made pursuant to part (b) of this Schedule 11.1 will no longer be applied cumulatively and the Applicable Revenue Percentage will revert back to the standard Applicable Revenue Percentage as determined in accordance with part (a) of this Schedule 11.1. Except as provided in the previous paragraph, all adjustments to the Applicable Revenue Percentage made pursuant to this Schedule 11.1 will be applied prospectively and will not result in a retroactive adjustment to any prior monthly payment.
SCHEDULE 11.2
COLLATERAL
All present and hereafter acquired property of Company wherever located and however described and whether or not constituting a fixture (including, without limitation, any and all present and future property), together, in each case, with all proceeds thereof, including without limitation all goods (including inventory, equipment and any accessions thereto), instruments (including promissory notes), documents, accounts (including health-care-insurance receivables and credit card receivables), chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), commercial tort claims, securities and all other investment property, supporting obligations, any other contract rights or rights to the payment of money, insurance claims and proceeds, money, patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, copyrights, copyright applications, trade names, other names, software, and all general intangibles (including all payment intangibles); together with all goodwill related to the foregoing property and all rights, liens, security interests and other interests which Company may at any time have by law or agreement against any account debtor, issuer or obligor obligated to make any such payment or against any of the property of such account debtor, issuer, or obligor, and all other supporting obligations relating to the foregoing, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether now owned or hereafter acquired; and all products and proceeds of the foregoing property, including without limitation all accounts, instruments, chattel paper, investment property, letter-of-credit rights, letters-of-credit, other rights to payment, documents, deposit accounts, money, insurance proceeds and general intangibles related to the foregoing property, and all refunds of insurance premiums due or to become due under all insurance policies covering the foregoing property, all whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and wherever located, together with proceeds of all of the foregoing.
[ALL REGISTERED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SHOULD BE SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED BELOW. FAILURE TO SO LIST REGISTERED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY DOES NOT EXCLUDE IT FROM COLLATERAL.]
SCHEDULE 11.3
MINIMUM INTEREST
(a)
The “Minimum Interest” means the amount shown below in the column headed Minimum Interest opposite the applicable period during which the Payoff Date occurs:
Period During Which the Payoff Date Occurs | Minimum Interest | |
On or before 6 months after the Effective Date | 0.35 times the Amount Advanced | |
After 6 months and on or before 12 months after the Effective Date | 0.45 times the Amount Advanced | |
After 12 months and on or before 18 months after the Effective Date | 0.55 times the Amount Advanced | |
After 18 months and on or before 24 months after the Effective Date | 0.65 times the Amount Advanced | |
After 24 months and on or before 30 months after the Effective Date | 0.80 times the Amount Advanced | |
After 30 months after the Effective Date | 1.00 times the Amount Advanced |
For the avoidance of doubt, any increases to the Minimum Interest made pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Agreement will be cumulative and will apply throughout the remainder of the term of the Agreement for each period set forth in the table above.
(b)
If the Revenue or Reported Revenue is not equal to at least 75% of Projected Revenue (the “MI Threshold”) for any Revenue Test Period, then the Minimum Interest multiple will increase, automatically and without notice from Lender, by 0.10 throughout the remainder of the term of the Agreement for each period set forth in the table in part (a) of this Schedule 11.3. For each incremental 10% that the Projected Revenue is lower than the MI Threshold, the Minimum Interest multiple will increase, automatically and without notice from Lender, by an additional 0.05 throughout the remainder of the term of the Agreement for each period set forth in the table in part (a) of this Schedule 11.3.
If Company fails to meet the MI Threshold for two or more Revenue Test Periods, the adjustments made pursuant to part (b) of this Schedule 11.3 will be cumulative. There is no limit to the number of adjustments that may be made pursuant to part (b) of this Schedule 11.3.

(iii) In any Change of Control, the Gross Proceeds will include consideration paid or payable to the Company and its Equity Owners under covenants not to compete excluding reasonable amounts payable to employees pursuant to employment agreements and similar agreements; provided, however, that (i) such consideration is paid or payable directly to the Company or among all Equity Owners on a pro-rata basis and (ii) the Holder becomes a party to any agreement containing such covenants to the same extent as the Equity Owners.
(iv) In any Change of Control, the Gross Proceeds will include the aggregate amount of (i) any dividends or distributions declared within 360 days of or in connection with the Change of Control (other than normal recurring cash dividends in amounts or for purposes consistent with past practice), and (ii) payments by the Company to repurchase any outstanding equity securities in connection with the Change of Control.
(v) In any Change of Control, the Gross Proceeds will include amounts payable pursuant to any earnout, royalty or similar arrangement. To the extent payment of any consideration is contingent, the fair market value of the contingent portion of the consideration shall be determined in good faith by Holder and the Company, taking into account the likelihood of payment, and include it in the Gross Proceeds.
(vi) The Gross Proceeds will be deemed to include all forms of consideration, including without limitation, cash and cash equivalents, promissory notes and other evidence of indebtedness, securities and other property. Consideration other than cash and cash equivalents will be valued as follows: (A) promissory notes and other evidence of indebtedness will be valued at face value; (B) common stock and securities convertible into common stock will be valued at fair market value (as determined in good faith by agreement of the Company and Holder); (C) preferred stock will be valued at fair market value (as determined in good faith by agreement of the Company and Holder); and (D) securities and property not referenced above will be valued at fair market value (as determined in good faith by agreement of the Company and Holder).
(vii) If within 360 days of a Change of Control that does not result in the sale of all of the Company’s assets or acquisition by one or more third parties of all of the Company’s equity securities, the Company or its Equity Owners receive additional proceeds in connection with either (A) the sale of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets as of the date the Change of Control occurred or (B) a third party’s acquisition of all of the Company’s equity securities, then such proceeds will be considered Gross Proceeds.
(viii) The Gross Proceeds will exclude costs or expenses paid to third-party advisors in connection with a Change of Control in an amount not exceed five percent (5%) of the aggregate consideration paid or payable to the Company and Equity Owners.
“Shares” means shares of the Company’s common stock; provided, however, if in the event of a Change of Control, the Holder as a holder of the Company’s common stock will not receive an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Buyout Percentage of the Gross Proceeds from a Change of Control plus (y) the Exercise Price, “Shares” shall mean shares of the series of the Company’s preferred stock with the most senior liquidation preference that will result in the Holder after exercise of this Warrant receiving the sum of (x) the Buyout Percentage of the Gross Proceeds from a Change of Control, plus (y) the Exercise Price.
“Warrant” means this Warrant and any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein.
2. Number of Shares. Subject to any previous exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, upon exercise of this Warrant, have the right to receive a number of Shares that will result in the Holder receiving an amount equal to the Buyout Percentage of the Gross Proceeds from a Change of Control plus the Exercise Price. The Buyout Percentage and the number of Shares issuable upon exercisable of this Warrant are not subject to dilution.
3. Exercise of the Warrant.
3.1 Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised immediately prior to a Change of Control at the election of the Holder in whole or in part by:
(i) the tender to the Company at its principal office (or such other office or agency as the Company may designate) of a notice of exercise in the form of Exhibit A (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly completed and executed by or on behalf of the Holder, together with the surrender of this Warrant; and
(ii) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to (x) the Exercise Price multiplied by (y) the number of Shares being purchased, by wire transfer or certified, cashier’s or other check acceptable to the Company and payable to the order of the Company, surrender and cancellation of promissory notes or other instruments representing indebtedness of the Company to the Holder, or a combination thereof.
3.2 Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 3.1, if the aggregate amount that the Shares of Holder will receive from the Gross Proceeds is greater than the aggregate Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below) the Holder may elect to receive a number of Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or of any portion of this Warrant being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency as the Company may designate) together with a properly completed and executed Notice of Exercise reflecting such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder that number of Shares computed using the following formula:
X | = | Y (A – B) |
A |
Where:
X | = | The number of Shares to be issued to the Holder |
Y | = | The number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation) |
A | = | The amount of Gross Proceeds received by one Share (at the date of such calculation) |
B | = | The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation) |
3.3 Stock Certificates. The rights under this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the close of business on the date this Warrant is exercised in accordance with its terms, and the person entitled to receive the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Shares as of the close of business on such date. As promptly as reasonably practicable on or after such date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for that number of shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event that the rights under this Warrant are exercised in part and have not expired, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant reflecting the number of Shares that remain subject to this Warrant.
3.4 No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the rights under this Warrant. In lieu of such fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.
3.5 Automatic Purchase. If the Holder of this Warrant has not elected to exercise this Warrant prior to the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8.1, then the Company shall, immediately prior to the closing of the Change of Control, pay to the Holder (without any act on the part of the Holder) the amount of securities and/or property (including cash) that the Holder would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such Change of Control if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to the effective date of such Change of Control; upon Holder’s receipt of such payment this Warrant shall be automatically terminated in its entirety without any act on the part of the Holder, except to the extent that Holder may be entitled to additional payments pursuant to subpart (vii) of the definition of Gross Proceeds.
3.6 Reservation of Stock. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall take all reasonable action to reserve and keep available from its authorized and unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock, if applicable, for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant such number of shares (and shares of common stock for issuance on conversion of such shares) as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of the rights under this Warrant; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock, if applicable, shall not be sufficient for purposes of the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with its terms and the conversion of the Shares, without limitation of such other remedies as may be available to the Holder, the Company will use all reasonable efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized and unissued shares of its common stock and preferred stock, if applicable, (and shares of common stock for issuance on conversion of such shares) to a number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. For purposes of this Warrant, the Company and Holder agree that if the Company reserves as of the Effective Date and keeps available such number of shares of common stock representing the Buyout Percentage times the number of Common Stock Equivalents (the “Reserved Shares”), with the Buyout Percentage being subject to adjustment as set forth in this Warrant, such Reserved Shares shall be sufficient to comply with this Section 3.6.
3.7 Replacement of the Warrant. Subject to the receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.
4. Transfer of the Warrant.
4.1 Warrant Register. The Company shall maintain a register (the “Warrant Register”) containing the name and address of the Holder or Holders. Until this Warrant is transferred on the Warrant Register in accordance herewith, the Company may treat the Holder as shown on the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any Holder of this Warrant (or of any portion of this Warrant) may change its address as shown on the Warrant Register by written notice to the Company requesting a change.
4.2 Warrant Agent. The Company may appoint an agent for the purpose of maintaining the Warrant Register referred to in Section 4.1, issuing the Shares or other securities then issuable upon the exercise of the rights under this Warrant, exchanging this Warrant, replacing this Warrant or conducting related activities.
4.3 Transferability of the Warrant. Subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and limitations on assignments and transfers, including without limitation compliance with the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 5, title to this Warrant may be transferred by endorsement (by the transferor and the transferee executing the assignment form attached as Exhibit B (the “Assignment Form”)) and delivery in the same manner as a negotiable instrument transferable by endorsement and delivery. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Holder transfer this Warrant to any person that the Company’s board of directors reasonably determines in good faith to be a competitor of the Company.
4.4 Exchange of the Warrant upon a Transfer. On surrender of this Warrant (and a properly endorsed Assignment Form) for exchange, subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Securities Act and limitations on assignments and transfers, the Company shall issue to or on the order of the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (on payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, for the number of shares issuable upon exercise hereof, and the Company shall register any such transfer upon the Warrant Register. This Warrant (and the securities issuable upon exercise of the rights under this Warrant) must be surrendered to the Company or its warrant or transfer agent, as applicable, as a condition precedent to the sale, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of any interest in any of the securities represented hereby.
4.5 Minimum Transfer. This Warrant may not be transferred in part unless such transfer is to a transferee who, pursuant to such transfer, receives the right to purchase all of the Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant.
4.6 Taxes. In no event shall the Company be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Holder, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue 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 or is not payable.
5. Restrictions on Transfer of the Warrant and Shares; Compliance with Securities Laws. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder agrees to comply with the following:
5.1 Restrictions on Transfers. The Holder may not transfer or assign this Warrant in whole or in part without providing the Company with 10 days prior written notice, and any attempt by Holder to transfer or assign any rights, duties or obligations that arise under this Warrant without such notice shall be void. Any transfer of this Warrant or the Shares or the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares (the “Securities”) must be in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. The Holder agrees not to make any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of all or any portion of the Securities, or any beneficial interest therein, unless and until the transferee thereof has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to take and hold such Securities subject to, and to be bound by, the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant to the same extent as if the transferee were the original Holder hereunder, and there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement, or (A) such Holder shall have given prior written notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to make such disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed description of the manner and circumstances of the proposed disposition, (B) the transferee shall have confirmed to the satisfaction of the Company in writing that the Securities are being acquired (i) solely for the transferee’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, (ii) for investment and (iii) not with a view toward distribution or resale, and shall have confirmed such other matters related thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Company, and (C) if requested by the Company, such Holder shall have furnished the Company, at the Holder’s expense, with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such Securities under the Securities Act whereupon such Holder shall be entitled to transfer such Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company.
5.2 Investment Representation Statement. Unless the rights under this Warrant are exercised pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act that includes the Shares with respect to which the Warrant was exercised, it shall be a condition to any exercise of the rights under this Warrant that the Holder shall have confirmed to the satisfaction of the Company in writing that the Shares so purchased are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale and that the Holder shall have confirmed such other matters related thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Company.
5.3 Securities Law Legend. The Securities shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Warrant) be stamped or imprinted with a legend substantially similar to the following (in addition to any legend required by state securities laws):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS CERTIFICATE MUST BE SURRENDERED TO THE COMPANY OR ITS TRANSFER AGENT AS A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO THE SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OF ANY INTEREST IN ANY OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY.
5.4 Instructions Regarding Transfer Restrictions. The Holder consents to the Company making a notation on its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent in order to implement the restrictions on transfer established in this Section 5.
5.5 Removal of Legend. The legend referring to federal and state securities laws identified in Section 5.3 stamped on a certificate evidencing the Shares (and the common stock issuable upon conversion thereof) and the stock transfer instructions and record notations with respect to such securities shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of such securities if (i) such securities are registered under the Securities Act, or (ii) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that a sale or transfer of such securities may be made without registration or qualification.
6. Adjustments. Subject to the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, the number and kind of shares purchasable hereunder and the Exercise Price therefor are subject to adjustment from time to time, as follows:
6.1 Merger or Reorganization. If at any time there shall be any reorganization, recapitalization, merger or consolidation (a “Reorganization”) involving the Company (other than as otherwise provided for herein or as would cause the expiration of this Warrant under Section 8) in which shares of the Company’s stock are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, as a part of such Reorganization, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property of the successor corporation resulting from such Reorganization, equivalent in value to that which a holder of the Shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled in such Reorganization if the right to purchase the Shares hereunder had been exercised immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the successor corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after such Reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after the event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other securities deliverable after that event upon the exercise of this Warrant.
6.2 Notice of Adjustments. Upon any adjustment in accordance with this Section 6, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the event giving rise to the adjustment, the Exercise Price as adjusted and the number of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of the rights under this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of each. The Company shall, upon the written request of any Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of securities and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon exercise of this Warrant.
7. Notification of Certain Events. Prior to the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, in the event that the Company shall authorize any transaction resulting in the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, the Company shall send to the Holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the expected effective date of any such event. The notice provisions set forth in this section may be shortened or waived prospectively or retrospectively by the consent of the Holder of this Warrant.
8. Expiration of the Warrant. This Warrant shall expire and shall no longer be exercisable as of the earlier of:
8.1 The Closing of a Change of Control of the Company;
8.2 The voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company;
8.3 Immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act covering the offering and sale of the Company’s common stock; or
8.4 Expiration of the Exercise Period.
9. No Rights as a Stockholder. Nothing contained herein shall entitle the Holder to any rights as a stockholder of the Company or to be deemed the holder of any securities that may at any time be issuable on the exercise of the rights hereunder for any purpose nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or any other rights of a stockholder of the Company until the rights under the Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon exercise of the rights hereunder shall have become deliverable as provided herein.
10. Representations and Warranties of the Holder. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
10.1 No Registration. The Holder understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Holder’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.
10.2 Investment Intent. The Holder is acquiring the Securities for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the Securities, nor does it have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement for the same.
10.3 Investment Experience. The Holder has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and protecting its own interests.
10.4 Speculative Nature of Investment. The Holder understands and acknowledges that the Company has a limited financial and operating history and that its purchase of this Warrant is highly speculative and involves substantial risks. The Holder can bear the economic risk of its investment and is able, without impairing its financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of its investment.
10.5 Access to Data. The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions of officers of the Company, which questions were answered to its satisfaction. The Holder believes that it has received all the information that it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Securities. The Holder understands that any such discussions, as well as any information issued by the Company, were intended to describe certain aspects of the Company’s business and prospects, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description. The Holder acknowledges that any business plans prepared by the Company have been, and continue to be, subject to change and that any projections included in such business plans or otherwise are necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions underlying the projections will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results.
10.6 Accredited Investor. The Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and agrees to submit to the Company such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Company.
10.7 Residency. The residency of the Holder (or, in the case of a partnership or corporation, such entity’s principal place of business) is correctly set forth on the signature page hereto.
10.8 Restrictions on Resales. The Holder acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permit resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, which may include, among other things, the availability of certain current public information about the Company; the resale occurring not less than a specified period after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold; the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations; the sale being effected through a “broker’s transaction,” a transaction directly with a “market maker” or a “riskless principal transaction” (as those terms are defined in the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder); and the filing of a Form 144 notice, if applicable. The Holder acknowledges and understands that the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time the Holder wishes to sell the Securities and that, in such event, the Holder may be precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the other applicable requirements of Rule 144 have been satisfied. The Holder acknowledges that, in the event the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration will be required for any disposition of the Securities. The Holder understands that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.
10.9 No Public Market. The Holder understands and acknowledges that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Company’s securities.
10.10 Brokers and Finders. The Holder has not engaged any brokers, finders or agents in connection with the Securities, and the Company has not incurred nor will incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Holder, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with the Securities.
10.11 Legal Counsel. The Holder and the Company have both had the opportunity to review this Warrant, the exhibits and schedules attached hereto and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant with their respective legal counsel.
10.12 Tax Advisors. The Holder and the Company have both independently reviewed with their respective tax advisors the U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant. With respect to such matters, each relies solely on any such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, written or oral.
11. Miscellaneous.
11.1 Amendments. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Warrant nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument referencing this Warrant and signed by the Company and the Holder.
11.2 Waivers. No waiver of any single breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.
11.3 Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, sent by facsimile or electronic mail (if to the Holder) or otherwise delivered by hand, messenger or courier service addressed:
(i) if to the Holder, to the Holder at the Holder’s address or facsimile number as shown in the Company’s records, as may be updated in accordance with the provisions hereof, or until any such Holder so furnishes an address, facsimile number, then to and at the address, facsimile number of the last holder of this Warrant for which the Company has contact information in its records; with a copy to Kevin Spreng, Fredrikson & Byron, P.A. 200 South Sixth Street, Minneapolis, MN 55402; or
(ii) if to the Company, to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the Company’s address as shown on the signature page hereto, or at such other address as the Company shall have furnished to the Holder.
All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day; (c) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (d) one day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. In the event of any conflict between the Company’s books and records and this Warrant or any notice delivered hereunder, the Company’s books and records will control absent fraud or error.
11.4 Governing Law. This Warrant and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Applicable Jurisdiction, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions.
11.5 Jurisdiction and Venue. If either party initiates a claim in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Warrant or the matters contemplated herein or therein, each of Holder and Company irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any federal court within Palo Alto, California, and agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of California for such persons.
11.6 Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Warrant are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Warrant. All references in this Warrant to sections, paragraphs and exhibits shall, unless otherwise provided, refer to sections and paragraphs hereof and exhibits attached hereto.
11.7 Severability. If any provision of this Warrant becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, portions of such provision, or such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from this Warrant, and such illegal, unenforceable or void provision shall be replaced with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the illegal, unenforceable or void provision. The balance of this Warrant shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
11.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE HOLDER AND THE COMPANY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS WARRANT.
11.9 Rights and Obligations Survive Exercise of the Warrant. Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder under this Warrant shall survive exercise of this Warrant.
11.10 Entire Agreement. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Warrant (including the exhibits attached hereto) constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the Company and the Holder with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.
