2. Amendment to the Amendment Agreement.
The Company and the undersigned Holders, representing the required threshold to amend the provisions of the Amendment Agreement, hereby agree to amend the Amendment Agreement as follows:
A new Section 14(b)(iv) is hereby added to the Amendment Agreement, which shall read in its entirety as follows:
2
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsections (i) – (iii) and to the extent that a Holder of Existing Notes purchased I Notes under that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 28, 2012 (the “March 2012 Securities Purchase Agreement”; the “March 2012 Financing”), as amended by that certain Amendment Agreement dated June 14, 2012 (the “June SPA Amendment Agreement”), such Holder’s Conversion Cap for any Conversion Week shall be zero percent (0.000%) if, and only if: the aggregate principal amount of I Notes purchased by such Holder in the June Additional Closing (as defined in the June SPA Amendment Agreement); is less than such Holder’s pro rata portion of the aggregate amount of I Notes to be issued in the June Additional Closing (the “June Pro Rata”). The June Pro Rata shall be determined by a Holder’s amount of I Notes purchased (for cash consideration) in the March 2012 Financing relative to the aggregate principal amount of I Notes issued in the March 2012 Financing. Each Holder’s June Pro Rata is listed in Exhibit A to the June SPA Amendment Agreement. The provisions of this subsection (iv) shall not apply to Holders who received I Notes in the March 2012 Financing for consideration other than cash or to Holders who did not purchase any I Notes in the March 2012 Financing. If a Holder’s conversion limitations as described herein result in a Conversion Cap of zero percent (0.000%) under this Section 14(b)(iv), then any Existing Notes held by such Holder that are subsequently sold, assigned or transferred (directly or indirectly) shall continue to carry such Conversion Cap of zero percent (0.000%) under this Section 14(b)(iv). By way of example only: (A) if a Holder’s June Pro Rata is $500,000, such Holder purchases $500,000 principal amount of I Notes in the June Additional Closing, and the Conversion Cap for a Conversion Week, as calculated under Section 14(b)(iii) is 0.00850%, then the applicable Conversion Cap to be used in the conversion limitation calculation described in Section 14(b)(ii) would continue to be 0.00850% (as such Holder purchased its June Pro Rata); however (B) if such Holder’s June Pro Rata is $500,000, such Holder purchases $250,000 principal amount of I Notes in the June Additional Closing, and the Conversion Cap for a Conversion Week, as calculated under Section 14(b)(iii) is 0.00850%, then the applicable Conversion Cap to be used in the conversion limitation calculation described in Section 14(b)(ii) would be zero percent (0.000%) (because such Holder purchased less than its June Pro Rata); and (C) if such Holder’s June Pro Rata is $500,000, such Holder purchases no I Notes in the June Additional Closing, and the Conversion Cap for a Conversion Week, as calculated under Section 14(b)(iii) is 0.00850%, then the applicable Conversion Cap to be used in the conversion limitation calculation described in Section 14(b)(ii) would be zero percent (0.000%) (because such Holder purchased less than its June Pro Rata).
3. Amendment to the I Notes.
The Company and each of the undersigned Holders holding I Notes, representing the required threshold to amend the provisions of the currently outstanding I Notes, hereby agree to add a new subsection Section 3.1(e) to each I Note, which shall read:
3
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (c), such Holder’s Conversion Cap for any Conversion Week shall be zero percent (0.000%) if, and only if: the aggregate principal amount of I Notes purchased by such Holder in the June Additional Closing (as defined in that certain First Amendment Agreement to the Purchase Agreement dated June 14, 2012 (the “June SPA Amendment Agreement”)); is less than such Holder’s pro rata portion of the aggregate amount of I Notes to be issued in the June Additional Closing (the “June Pro Rata”). A Holder’s June Pro Rata shall be determined by a Holder’s amount of I Notes purchased in the First Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) relative to the aggregate principal amount of I Notes issued (for cash consideration) in the First Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Each Holder’s June Pro Rata is listed in Exhibit A to the June SPA Amendment Agreement. The provisions of this subsection (iv) shall not apply to Holders who received I Notes in the First Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for consideration other than cash. If a Holder’s conversion limitations as described in this Section 3.1 result in a Conversion Cap of zero percent (0.000%) as a result of this Section 3.1(e), then any I Notes held by such Holder that are subsequently sold, assigned or transferred (directly or indirectly) shall continue to carry such Conversion Cap of zero percent (0.000%) under this Section 3.1(e). By way of example only: (A) if such Holder’s June Pro Rata is $500,000, such Holder purchases $500,000 of I Notes in the June Additional Closing, and the Conversion Cap for a Conversion Week, as calculated pursuant to Section 3.1(c) is 0.00850%, then the applicable Conversion Cap to be used in the conversion limitation calculation described in the third sentence of Section 3.1(c) would continue to be 0.00850% (as such Holder purchased its June Pro Rata); however, (B) if such Holder’s June Pro Rata is $500,000, such Holder purchases $250,000 of I Notes in the June Additional Closing, and the Conversion Cap for a Conversion Week, as calculated pursuant to Section 3.1(c) is 0.00850%, then the applicable Conversion Cap to be used in the conversion limitation calculation described in the third sentence of Section 3.1(c) would be zero percent (0.000%) (because such Holder purchased less than its June Pro Rata); and (C) if such Holder’s June Pro Rata is $500,000, such Holder purchases no I Notes in the June Additional Closing, and the Conversion Cap for a Conversion Week, as calculated pursuant to Section 3.1(c) is 0.00850%, then the applicable Conversion Cap to be used in the conversion limitation calculation described in the third sentence of Section 3.1(c) would be zero percent (0.000%) (because such Holder purchased less than its June Pro Rata).
4. Outstanding Securities. Each undersigned Holder represents and warrants that as of the date hereof, such Holder holds the Company’s securities in the amounts set forth on such Holder’s signature page hereto.
5. Specific Performance; Consent to Jurisdiction; Venue.
(a) The Company and the Holders acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof without the requirement of posting a bond or providing any other security, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.
4
(b) The parties agree that venue for any dispute arising under this Agreement will lie exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and the parties irrevocably waive any right to raise forum non conveniens or any other argument that New York is not the proper venue. The parties irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of the state of New York. The Company and each Holder consent to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 4(b) shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The Company and the Holders hereby agree that the prevailing party in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Existing Notes, shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable legal fees from the non-prevailing party. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.
6. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby and, except as specifically set forth herein, neither the Company nor any Holder makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters, and this Agreement supersedes all prior understandings and agreements with respect to said subject matter, all of which are merged herein. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Requisite Purchasers (as defined in the March 2012 Securities Purchase Agreement); provided, that if any of the rights under this Agreement of any party to any Existing Note are materially diminished or the obligations under this Agreement of any Holder of an Existing Note is materially increased by such waiver or amendment, in each case in a manner that is not similar in all material respects to the effect on the rights or obligations of other parties, then such waiver or amendment shall not be effective with respect to such adversely affected party without the written consent of such adversely affected party. The parties hereto acknowledge that any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this section shall be binding upon each such party (and their permitted assigns), including, without limitation, an amendment or waiver that has an adverse effect on any or all parties. Except as amended herein, each of the Existing Notes shall remain in full force and effect.
