Liquidity Event If there is a Liquidity Event before the expiration or termination of this instrument, the Investor will, at its option, either (i) receive a cash payment equal to the Purchase Amount (subject to the following paragraph) or (ii) automatically receive from the Company a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Purchase Amount divided by the Liquidity Price, if the Investor fails to select the cash option.
(i) holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock issued before the date of this instrument (“Senior Preferred Holders”) and (ii) the Investor and holders of other Safes (collectively, the “ Cash-Out Investors”) in full, then all of the Company’s available funds will be distributed (i) first to the Senior Preferred Holders and (ii) second with equal priority and pro rata among the Cash-Out Investors in proportion to their Purchase Amounts, and the Cash-Out Investors will automatically receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the remaining unpaid Purchase Amount divided by the Liquidity Price. In connection with a Change of Control intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization, the Company may reduce, pro rata, the Purchase Amounts payable to the Cash-Out Investors by the amount determined by the Board in good faith to be advisable for such Change of Control to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and in such case, the Cash-Out Investors will automatically receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the remaining unpaid Purchase Amount divided by the Liquidity Price.
Demand Registration Withdrawal A majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating a Demand Registration or a majority-in-interest of the Requesting Holders (if any), pursuant to a Registration under subsection 2.1.1 shall have the right to withdraw from a Registration pursuant to such Demand Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to the Registration of their Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.1.5.
Qualified IPO (a) As soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the Closing, the Company shall cause the Board to create a special committee which shall include an equal number of MCK Directors and Echo Directors (the “IPO Committee”) which shall oversee the conduct and consummation of a Qualified IPO. As promptly as practicable after its formation, but in no event later than six (6) months after Closing, the IPO Committee shall appoint one or more nationally recognized investment banks to act as underwriters of the Qualified IPO. The engagement of the underwriters shall be on financial and other terms customary in the industry, and all fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company (other than underwriting discounts and commissions which shall be payable by Echo). The Company agrees and acknowledges that it will be the indemnitor of first resort with respect to the Qualified IPO.
(b) In connection with the conduct and consummation of a Qualified IPO, the Company and each of the Initial Members shall cooperate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to consummate the Qualified IPO as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than eighteen (18) months from the Closing (“QIPO Deadline”), provided, that the QIPO Deadline may be extended by the IPO Committee based on the advice of the underwriters that prevailing market and/or industry conditions do not support the conduct and consummation of a Qualified IPO and the Company and the Members shall use reasonable best efforts to consummate a Qualified IPO once such conditions are no longer in effect, but not longer than the Initial Period. In furtherance of the QIPO Deadline (and unless extended pursuant to the preceding sentence), Echo shall make an initial filing of a registration statement on Form S-1 relating to the Qualified IPO (the “Registration Statement”) on or prior to twelve (12) months from Closing and thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file amendments to the Registration Statement that are reasonably required to (i) appropriately respond to comments received from the SEC relating to such Registration Statement and (ii) otherwise keep the Registration Statement current (including with respect to the financial statements and other financial and other information required by the rules and regulations of the SEC to be included therein). Echo and each of the parties agree they will reasonably consult, and keep each other reasonably informed, and that each party will have the right to participate in the drafting and preparation of any Registration Statement and any amendments thereto, including responses to any comments received from the SEC. Subject to Section 10.01(c), each of the MCK Members and Echo shall have the right to participate equally in the preparation of the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto and otherwise to participate equally in the Qualified IPO process.
(c) If a Qualified IPO has not been consummated within twenty four (24) months following the Closing (such 24-month period, the “Initial Period”), then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary set forth herein, each of the MCK Members and Echo shall have the right to cause Echo, the Company and the other Members to conduct and consummate a Qualified IPO within the IPO Preference Period, and thereafter the MCK Members shall have the right to conduct a Qualified MCK Exit within the MCK Exit Window following such Qualified IPO. Following the IPO Preference Period, each of the MCK Members and Echo shall have the right to cause the Company and the other Members to conduct and consummate a Qualified IPO; provided, that if a Member has delivered an Initial Offer Notice for a ROFO Sale that constitutes a Drag-Along Sale, then neither the Company nor Echo shall conduct a Qualified IPO from the date of delivery of the Initial Offer Notice through the Marketing Period relating to such Drag-Along Sale without the consent of the Drag-Along Sellers. In order to exercise the right to cause or conduct a Qualified IPO pursuant to this Section 10.01(c), the MCK Member or Echo, as the case may be (in either case, the “IPO Demanding Party”), shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to deliver a written notice to the Company and to the other Initial Members (an “IPO Demand”) notifying the Company and the other Initial Members of the IPO Demanding Party’s exercise of an IPO Demand. Upon receipt of such IPO Demand (which, in the case of a Qualified IPO to be consummated during the IPO Preference Period, shall be delivered no later than on the date that is ten (10) Business Days following the expiration of the Initial Period), the Company and Echo shall effect a Qualified IPO as soon as practicable, but in any event within six (6) months after receipt of such IPO Demand (and in the case of a Qualified IPO to be consummated during the IPO Preference Period, prior to the expiration of such period). Upon receipt of an IPO Demand, the IPO Committee and each of the Initial Members and the Company shall cooperate with each other in the conduct and consummation of such Qualified IPO, including providing access to the documents, records and senior management of the Company, procuring the participation of senior management in investor road-shows and similar marketing efforts, and executing and delivering any documents reasonably requested by the IPO Committee or any underwriter to the Qualified IPO. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of an IPO Demand, the Company shall cause the Board to appoint to the IPO Committee one additional Director designated by the IPO Demanding Party.
Demand Withdrawal A Demanding Holder and any other Holder that has requested its Registrable Securities be included in a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 3.1.3 may withdraw all or any portion of its Registrable Securities included in a Demand Registration from such Demand Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Demand Registration and will not be obligated to participate in any Underwritten Public Offering prior to executing the underwriting agreement relating thereto. Upon receipt of a notice to such effect from a Demanding Holder (or if there is more than one Demanding Holder, from all such Demanding Holders) with respect to all of the Registrable Securities included by such Demanding Holder(s) in such Demand Registration, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Demand Registration Statement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a request for a Demand Registration by more than one Demanding Holder, the Company shall continue all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Demand Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities requested to be included by each of the Holders that has not withdrawn its Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding any withdrawal by a Demanding Holder of Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 3.1.4, the Demand Registration with respect to which the withdrawal was made shall be counted for purposes of the limit on Demand Registration Requests set forth in Section 3.1.2 unless (a) the Demanding Holders reimburse the Company for all expenses incurred in connection with the Demand Registration with respect to which the withdrawal was made, (b) the withdrawal is made as a result of an event that has had a material adverse effect on the business, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Company or (c) the withdrawal is made in response to a Demand Suspension pursuant to Section 3.1.6.
Timing of Return or Disposition Data shall be returned or disposed of by the following date: As soon as commercially practicable By the following agreed upon date:
Subsequent Equity Issuances The Company shall not deliver any Sales Notice hereunder (and any Sales Notice previously delivered shall not apply during such three Business Days) for at least three (3) Business Days prior to any date on which the Company or any Subsidiary offers, sells, issues, contracts to sell, contracts to issue or otherwise disposes of, directly or indirectly, any other shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (other than the Shares), subject to Manager’s right to waive this obligation, provided that, without compliance with the foregoing obligation, the Company may issue and sell Common Stock pursuant to any employee equity plan, stock ownership plan or dividend reinvestment plan of the Company in effect at the Execution Time and the Company may issue Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding at the Execution Time.
Subsequent Equity Sales If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, at an effective price per share less than the Exercise Price then in effect (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (it being understood and agreed that if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance at such effective price), then simultaneously with the consummation of each Dilutive Issuance the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 3(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance or deemed issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 3(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 3(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise. If the Company enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be converted or exercised
Liquidity Coverage Ratio The Seller shall not issue any LCR Security.
Liquidity Events of Default If (a) any Liquidity Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) there is a Performing Note Deficiency, the Liquidity Provider may, in its discretion, deliver to the Borrower a Termination Notice, the effect of which shall be to cause (i) the obligation of the Liquidity Provider to make Advances hereunder to expire on the fifth Business Day after the date on which such Termination Notice is received by the Borrower, (ii) the Borrower to promptly request, and the Liquidity Provider to promptly make, a Final Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(d) hereof and Section 3.5(i) of the Intercreditor Agreement, (iii) all other outstanding Advances to be automatically converted into Final Advances for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon, and (iv) subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, all Advances (including, without limitation, any Provider Advance and Applied Provider Advance), any accrued interest thereon and any other amounts outstanding hereunder to become immediately due and payable to the Liquidity Provider.
Black-Out Period (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 6 and a good faith determination by the Company that it is in the best interests of the Company to suspend the use of a Registration Statement, following the effectiveness of such Registration Statement (and the filings with any international, federal or state securities commissions), the Company, by written notice to Stifel and the Holders, may direct the Holders to suspend sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement for such times as the Company reasonably may determine is necessary and advisable (but in no event for more than an aggregate of ninety (90) days in any rolling twelve (12)-month period commencing on the Closing Date or more than sixty (60) days in any rolling ninety (90)-day period), if any of the following events shall occur: (i) the representative(s) of the underwriter(s) of an Underwritten Offering of primary shares by the Company has advised the Company that the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s primary Underwritten Offering; (ii) the Company shall have determined in good faith that (A) the offer or sale of any Registrable Shares would materially impede, delay or interfere with any proposed financing, offer or sale of securities, acquisition, merger, tender offer, business combination, corporate reorganization or other significant transaction involving the Company, (B) after the advice of counsel, the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement would require disclosure of non-public material information not otherwise required to be disclosed under applicable law and (C) (1) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving the confidentiality of such transaction, (2) disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the Company or the Company’s ability to consummate such transaction or (3) renders the Company unable to comply with Commission requirements, in each case under circumstances that would make it impractical or inadvisable to cause the Registration Statement (or such filings) to become effective or to promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement on a post-effective basis, as applicable; or (iii) the Company shall have determined in good faith, after the advice of counsel, that it is required by law, rule or regulation or that it is in the best interests of the Company to supplement the Registration Statement or file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement in order to incorporate information into the Registration Statement for the purpose of (A) including in the Registration Statement any prospectus required under Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (B) reflecting in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or of the most recent post-effective amendment) that, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth therein; or (C) including in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information. Upon the occurrence of any such suspension, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective or to promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement on a post-effective basis or to take such action as is necessary to make resumed use of the Registration Statement compatible with the Company’s best interests, as applicable, so as to permit the Holders to resume sales of the Registrable Shares as soon as possible.
(b) In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of a Registration Statement (a “Suspension Event”), the Company shall give written notice (a “Suspension Notice”) to Stifel and the Holders to suspend sales of the Registrable Shares and such notice shall state generally the basis for the notice and that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing and the Company is using its best efforts and taking all reasonable steps to terminate suspension of the use of the Registration Statement as promptly as possible. The Holders shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) all copies other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Shares at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. The Holders may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (or such filings) following further notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders and Stifel in the manner described above promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event and its effect.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company shall give a Suspension Notice pursuant to this Section 6, the Company agrees that it shall extend the period of time during which the applicable Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from the date of receipt by the Holders of the Suspension Notice to and including the date of receipt by the Holders of the End of Suspension Notice and provide copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume sales.
