Antidilution Adjustments If the Company shall at any time hereafter subdivide or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or declare a dividend payable in Common Stock, the exercise price in effect immediately prior to the subdivision, combination, or record date for such dividend payable in Common Stock shall forthwith be proportionately increased, in the case of combination, or proportionately decreased, in the case of subdivision or declaration of a dividend payable in Common Stock, and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately preceding such event, shall be changed to the number determined by dividing the then current exercise price by the exercise price as adjusted after such subdivision, combination, or dividend payable in Common Stock and multiplying the result of such division against the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately preceding such event, so as to achieve an exercise price and number of Warrant Shares purchasable after such event proportional to such exercise price and number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately preceding such event. All calculations hereunder shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable in an amount equal to the same fraction of the market price per share of Common Stock on the day of exercise as determined in good faith by the Company. In case of any capital reorganization or any reclassification of the shares of Common Stock of the Company, or in the case of any consolidation with or merger of the Company into or with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, which is effected in such a manner that the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a part of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale, as the case may be, lawful provision shall be made so that the holder of the Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon the exercise hereof, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property which the holder would have been entitled to receive if, immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale, the holder had held the number of Warrant Shares which were then purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holder of the Warrant, to the end that the provisions set forth herein (including provisions with respect to adjustments of the exercise price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrant.
Capitalization Adjustments The number of Shares subject to the Option and the exercise price per Share shall be equitably and appropriately adjusted as provided in Section 12.2 of the Plan.
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, shares of Common Stock 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 Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock 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 shares of Common Stock 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 Common Stock 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.
Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments In any case in which the provisions of this Section 13 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Warrantholder of this Warrant exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such Warrantholder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock; provided, however, that the Company upon request shall deliver to such Warrantholder a due xxxx or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Warrantholder’s right to receive such additional shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates 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 certificate or certificates 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, shares of Common Stock 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 Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock 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 shares of Common Stock 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 Common Stock 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 certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Debenture as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
Anti-Dilution Adjustments to Exercise Price 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 securities entitling any person or entity to acquire shares of Common Stock (upon conversion, exercise or otherwise) (including but not limited to under the Note), at an effective price per share less than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, elimination of an applicable floor price for any reason in the future (including but not limited to the passage of time or satisfaction of certain condition(s)), 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 or potentially entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the Exercise Price at any time while such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are in existence, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance (regardless of whether the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are (i) subsequently redeemed or retired by the Company after the date of the Dilutive Issuance or (ii) actually converted or exercised at such Base Share Price), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced at the option of the Holder 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 (for the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment is calculated as follows: the total number of Warrant Shares multiplied by the initial Exercise Price in effect as of the Issuance Date). Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued, regardless of whether the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are (i) subsequently redeemed or retired by the Company after the date of the Dilutive Issuance or (ii) actually converted or exercised at such Base Share Price by the holder thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, the Holder may utilize the Base Share Price even if the Company did not actually issue shares of its common stock at the Base Share Price under the respective Common stock Equivalents). The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 2(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 2(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such 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.
Merger Consideration Adjustment (a) Following the Closing, the Merger Consideration shall be finally determined in accordance with the adjustments and procedures set forth in this Agreement.
(b) Within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Closing Cash, the Final Closing Indebtedness, the Final Transaction Expenses, the Final Working Capital, and the resulting Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.10, the following payments shall be made, as applicable:
(i) If the Merger Consideration is greater than the Estimated Merger Consideration (such excess, the “Adjustment Excess Amount”), then:
(A) Purchaser shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent the Adjustment Excess Amount, pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement, for further payment to the Equityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share; and
(B) Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to deposit with the Paying Agent the Escrow Amount, pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement, for further payment to the Equityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share.
(ii) If the Merger Consideration is equal to the Estimated Merger Consideration, then Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to deposit with the Paying Agent the Escrow Amount, pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement, for further payment to the Equityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share.
(iii) If the Merger Consideration is less than the Estimated Merger Consideration (such difference, expressed as a positive number the “Adjustment Shortfall Amount”), then Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative shall:
(A) in the event the Adjustment Shortfall Amount is less than the Escrow Amount, jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to (1) release to Purchaser from the Escrow Account an amount equal to the Adjustment Shortfall Amount; and (2) deposit with the Paying Agent the remaining amounts of the Escrow Account (after payment of such Adjustment Shortfall Amount from the Escrow Account to Purchaser), pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement, for further payment to the Equityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share; or
(B) in the event the Adjustment Shortfall Amount is equal to or greater than the Escrow Amount, (1) jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release to Purchaser from the Escrow Account an amount equal to the Escrow Amount and (2) the Equityholders, severally and not jointly, shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Purchaser an amount equal to the remaining portion of such Adjustment Shortfall Amount, if any.
(c) Purchaser shall cause the Paying Agent to, as soon as practicable after the deposit with the Paying Agent of any amount pursuant to Section 2.8(b) (collectively, “Adjustment Consideration”), distribute to each Equityholder the portion of such Adjustment Consideration actually payable to such Equityholder pursuant to Section 2.2.
Anti-Dilution Adjustments The number of shares issuable upon conversion of this Debenture and the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its common stock in additional shares or other securities, (ii) subdivide its outstanding common stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issue, by reclassification of its shares, any other securities of the Company (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing entity), the number of share issuable upon conversion of this Debenture immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Conversion Shares, and other securities of the Company which such Holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive immediately after the happening of any of the events described above, had the Debenture been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection 6(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event.
(b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options, warrants or convertible securities to holders of its shares, for no consideration, containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of common stock, the number of Conversion Shares thereafter issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture shall be determined by multiplying the number of Conversion Shares theretofore issuable upon conversion of this Debenture by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities plus the number of additional shares offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities are issued, and shall become effective immediately upon issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities. In the event of such adjustment, corresponding adjustments shall be made to the Conversion Price.
(c) In case the Company shall distribute to holders of its common shares evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions out of current earnings made in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices), then in each case the number of Conversion Shares thereafter issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture shall be determined by multiplying the number of Conversion Shares theretofore issuable upon conversion of this Debenture by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the then Market Price (as defined below) on the date of such distribution, and of which the denominator shall be such Market Price on such date minus the then fair value (determined as provided in subsection 6(f) below) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective on the date of distribution. In the event of any such adjustment, the number of Conversion Shares shall also be adjusted and shall be that number determined by multiplying the number of shares issuable upon exercise before the adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Conversion Price as so adjusted.
(d) If the Company shall at any time while this Debenture is outstanding issue shares (including additional shares deemed to be issued upon conversion of any convertible security, but excluding shares issued as a dividend or distribution or upon a stock split or combination which is otherwise provided for in Section 6(a) above, or upon the issuance of options or warrants for no consideration which is otherwise provided for in Section 6(b) above) either without consideration, or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by a full ratchet anti-dilution adjustment to such lesser price (calculated to the nearest cent). For purposes of this Section 6(d), the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any additional shares shall be computed as follows:
Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in Connection with Make-Whole Fundamental Changes (a) If the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, under the circumstances described below, increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”), as described below. A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Notice of Conversion is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for subclause (i) of the proviso in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change).
(b) Upon surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, at its option, satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement in accordance with Section 13.02 based on the Conversion Rate as increased to reflect the Additional Shares pursuant to the table below; provided, however, that if, at the effective time of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Reference Property following such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is composed entirely of cash, for any conversion of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Conversion Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the Stock Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash per $1,000 principal amount of converted Notes equal to the Conversion Rate (including any adjustment for Additional Shares), multiplied by such Stock Price. In such event, the Conversion Obligation shall be determined and paid to Holders in cash on the second Business Day following the Conversion Date. The Company shall notify the Holders of Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date.
(c) The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of the Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. If the holders of the Common Stock receive in exchange for their Common Stock only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. The Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to the Stock Price, in its good faith determination, to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, Effective Date (as such term is used in Section 13.04) or expiration date of the event occurs, during such five consecutive Trading Day period.
(d) The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 13.04.
(e) The following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased per $1,000 principal amount of Notes pursuant to this Section 13.03 for each Stock Price and Effective Date set forth below: Effective Date $33.46 $40.00 $41.50 $45.00 $50.00 $53.95 $60.00 $70.00 $80.00 $90.00 March 12, 2020 5.7900 3.2905 2.8889 2.1284 1.3680 0.9587 0.5487 0.2047 0.0603 0.0000 March 15, 2021 5.7900 3.1500 2.7227 1.9171 1.1254 0.7170 0.3408 0.0854 0.0106 0.0000 March 15, 2022 5.7900 2.9820 2.5369 1.6964 0.8416 0.3527 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 March 15, 2023 5.7900 2.7203 2.2689 1.4511 0.6842 0.2795 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 March 15, 2024 5.7900 2.2100 1.7414 0.9687 0.3828 0.1429 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 March 15, 2025 5.7900 0.9038 0.0002 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 The exact Stock Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:
(i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table above or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table above, the number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;
(ii) if the Stock Price is greater than $90.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate; and
(iii) if the Stock Price is less than $33.46 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes exceed 29.8864 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 13.04.
(f) Nothing in this Section 13.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 13.04 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
Anti-dilution Adjustment Other than in connection with Excepted Issuances (as such term is defined in the last sentence of this Section 8(b)), if within twelve months following the initial Closing of the sale of Shares in the Offering, the Company shall issue without the consent of the Majority Holders any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify the conversion or exercise price of any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share which shall be less than 100% of the price per share of the Shares purchased by such Subscriber (including any issuances of securities in connection with the closing of a registered primary offering of any securities of the Company in any jurisdiction), subject to adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions and combinations (the “Lower Price Issuance”), then the Company shall issue, for each such occasion, additional shares of Common Stock to the Subscriber respecting the Purchased Securities that are then still owned by the Subscriber at the time of the Lower Price Issuance so that the average per share purchase price of the Purchased Securities owned by the Subscriber on the date of the Lower Price Issuance plus such additional shares issued to Subscriber pursuant to this Section 8(b) is equal to such other lower price per share. The delivery to Subscriber of the additional shares of Common Stock shall be not later than the 5 Business Days after the closing date of the transaction giving rise to the requirement to issue additional shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the issuance and adjustment described in this Section 8(b), in the case of the issuance of securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, the price per share shall be deemed to be the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of (A) the price paid for such derivative security plus (B) the aggregate amount of consideration to be paid upon conversion or exercise price of such security for the maximum number of shares for which the derivative security may be converted or exercised, by (ii) the total number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise price of such security for the maximum number of shares for which the derivative security may be converted or exercised. The adjustment described in this Section 8(b) shall be made immediately upon the earlier of (x) the issuance of the derivative security or (y) the Company entering into an agreement to issue the derivative security, in each case at a price lower than the price per Share in the Offering (which price is subject to adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions and combinations), but such adjustment shall not be made again upon any issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of such derivative security. Any Common Stock or derivative security issued or issuable by the Company for no consideration or for consideration that cannot be determined at the time of issuance will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.01 per share of Common Stock. The rights of Subscriber set forth in this Section 8 are in addition to any other rights the Subscriber has pursuant to this Agreement, any Transaction Documents, and any other agreement referred to or entered into in connection herewith or to which Subscriber and Company are parties. For purposes hereof, “Excepted Issuances” means the (i) Company’s issuances of securities comprising the full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity that has been approved by a majority of disinterested directors of the Company and in which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (iii) the Company’s issuance of common stock or its issuances or grants of options to purchase common stock to employees, directors, and officers of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose, by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, and (iv) the Company’s issuances of securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities.
