The Issuer further promises to pay Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance from time to time, in the manner and at the interest rates specified in Section 2 hereof. This Unsecured PIK Convertible Note (including all Unsecured PIK Convertible Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof) (the “Note” and, together with all other Unsecured PIK Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as defined herein), collectively, the “Notes”), is issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement on the Issuance Date. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 24. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

(b) The “Initial Maturity Date” shall be January [ ], 2021.

(b) IPO.
(i) IPO Notice. No later than the earlier of (a) the fifth Business Day after the IPO Filing Date, and (b) the 20th day prior to the anticipated commencement of a bona fide roadshow for an IPO, the Issuer shall provide the Requisite Holders with a written notice of such IPO Filing Date (the “IPO Notice”). The IPO Notice shall include the expected material terms (including the then-expected range of the price per share) and a bona fide estimate of the anticipated size of the IPO (it being understood that the actual terms and size of the IPO may differ from such expected material terms and bona fide estimate), an indication as to whether or not the Issuer expects such IPO to be a Qualified IPO, and date by which the Holder must make any election to convert the Notes pursuant to this Section 3(b) (the “IPO Election Deadline Date”), which shall be no earlier than ten (10) days in advance of the anticipated commencement of a bona fide roadshow for such IPO. The date of the anticipated commencement of the roadshow will be determined in good faith by the Issuer. The Requisite Holders will be required to make any applicable election (an “IPO Conversion Election”) to convert the Notes in writing by notice to the Issuer no later than the IPO Election Deadline Date; provided that any conversion election may be conditional on an IPO constituting a Qualified IPO or a Non-Qualified IPO, as stated by the Requisite Holders in such election. Any such election to convert the Notes in connection with an IPO shall be irrevocable once delivered to the Issuer.
(ii) Qualified IPO. In the event of a Qualified IPO, but subject to the closing of such Qualified IPO, if the Requisite Holders timely deliver an IPO Conversion Election as set forth in Section 3(b)(i), the outstanding Note Obligations Amount shall convert in full on the closing date of such Qualified IPO into a number of IPO Securities equal to (x) the outstanding Note Obligations Amount on such closing date, divided by (y) the applicable IPO Conversion Price.
If, at any time prior to, but excluding, the fourth anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Requisite Holders do not timely deliver an IPO Conversion Election as set forth in Section 3(b)(i) in connection with a Qualified IPO, at the option of the Issuer in its sole discretion, either (A) the Issuer will prepay the Note Obligations Amount in cash within thirty (30) days of the closing date of the Qualified IPO (upon which prepayment the Notes will cease to be outstanding), or (B) (w) the Maturity Date will be extended to the date nine years from the closing date of the Qualified IPO (the “Nine Year Extension Maturity Date”), (x) the interest rate shall be 2.50% per annum in the form of PIK Interest until the fourth anniversary of the Issuance Date and 3.50% per annum in the form of PIK Interest thereafter (if the Note remains unpaid), (y) the Issuer shall have the right to prepay this Note at any time without penalty, premium or prior notice, and (z) this Note will not be subject to any of the redemption, conversion or extension rights set forth in Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 herein (which Sections shall be deemed to have been removed from this Note) (the changes described in clauses (w), (x), (y) and (z) being collectively referred to as the “Nine Year Extension”). The Issuer shall provide written notice of its election pursuant to the preceding sentence no later than the closing date of the Qualified IPO, provided that if the Issuer provides no such notice, the Nine Year Extension shall apply.
4
If, at any time from and after the fourth anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Requisite Holders do not timely deliver an IPO Conversion Election as set forth in Section 3(b)(i) in connection with a Qualified IPO, the Requisite Holders shall be deemed to have made a Preferred Par Redemption Election and the Issuer, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to elect any of the Preferred Par Redemption Options in accordance with Section 6(c). If the Issuer fails to select a Preferred Par Redemption Option in accordance with Section 6(c), the Note Obligations Amount shall convert into a number of shares of the Senior Non-Convertible Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the then outstanding Note Obligations Amount.
(iii) Non-Qualified IPO. In the event of a Non-Qualified IPO, but subject to the closing of such Non-Qualified IPO, if the Requisite Holders timely deliver an IPO Conversion Election as set forth in Section 3(b)(i), the Note Obligations Amount will convert in full on the closing date of such Non-Qualified IPO into a number of IPO Securities equal to (a) the outstanding Note Obligations Amount on such closing date, divided by (b) the applicable IPO Conversion Price. If the Requisite Holders do not timely deliver an IPO Conversion Election as set forth in Section 3(b)(i), the Requisite Holders shall be deemed to have made a Par Redemption Election and the Issuer shall be entitled to elect any of the Par Redemption Options in accordance with Section 6(c), in which case, as elected by the Issuer in its sole discretion, either, notwithstanding the definition of Par Redemption Option:
A) | the Issuer will prepay the Note Obligations Amount in cash within thirty (30) days of the closing date of the Non-Qualified IPO (upon which prepayment the Notes will cease to be outstanding); |
B) | the Note Obligations Amount will convert in full into (1) if the Capital Stock issued in the Lowest Fundraising Round was not converted into IPO Securities in connection with such Non-Qualified IPO, such number of Lowest Fundraising Round Equivalent Securities equal to the Lowest Fundraising Round Equivalent Securities Conversion Amount, or (2) if the Capital Stock issued in the Lowest Fundraising Round was converted into IPO Securities in connection with such Non-Qualified IPO, such number of IPO Securities equal to the number of IPO Securities into which the number of Lowest Fundraising Round Equivalent Securities equal to Lowest Fundraising Round Equivalent Securities Conversion Amount would have been converted had such Capital Stock been outstanding immediately prior to the Non-Qualified IPO, or |
C) | the Issuer will prepay 50% of the Note Obligations Amount in cash within thirty (30) days of the closing date of the Non-Qualified IPO and 50% of the Note Obligations Amount will be converted in accordance with sub-clause (1) or (2) of clause (B) above, |
5
provided that any conversion or prepayment pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) above shall be effected in accordance with the applicable procedures of Section 6(c). |
(c) Merger. The Issuer shall deliver to the Requisite Holders a Non-Change of Control Merger Event Notice no less than thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated effective date of any Non-Change of Control Merger Event; provided that if the Issuer does not have thirty (30) days prior knowledge of a Non-Change of Control Merger Event, it shall provide notice as soon as practicable after obtaining knowledge thereof (but in no event later than the tenth (10th) Business Day prior to the anticipated effective date). The Requisite Holders shall be required to make any applicable election (a “Non-Change of Control Merger Conversion Election”) to convert the Notes in writing as set forth in clause (i) below, by notice to the Issuer no later than the Non-Change of Control Merger Event Deadline Date (as defined in the definition of “Non-Change of Control Merger Event Notice”). In the event of a Non-Change of Control Merger Event, subject to the closing of such Non-Change of Control Merger Event:
(i) If, in connection with such Non-Change of Control Merger Event, the common stock of the Issuer is converted into, or exchanged for, in whole or in part, Common Equity of a Public Issuer, then, if the Requisite Holders deliver a Non-Change of Control Merger Conversion Election by the Non-Change of Control Merger Event Deadline Date, the Note Obligations Amount will convert in full on the closing date of such Non-Change of Control Merger Event (or on the twentieth (20th) Trading Day immediately following such closing date in the event clause (ii) of the definition of Non-Change of Control Merger Conversion Price applies) into a number of Successor Issuer Publicly Traded Shares (and/or cash as determined in the next sentence) equal to the applicable Non-Change of Control Merger Conversion Amount. In a Non-Change of Control Merger Event in which common stock of the Issuer is converted into part Successor Issuer Publicly Traded Shares and part cash, the Non-Change of Control Conversion Amount shall be paid in part cash and part Successor Issuer Publicly Traded Shares, with the percentage of cash of the Non-Change of Control Conversion Amount being determined on a proportionate basis (ignoring for this purpose any other type of property receivable in connection therewith) determined by comparing the aggregate cash received by holders of common stock of the Issuer to the aggregate value of Successor Issuer Publicly Traded Shares received by holders of common stock of the Issuer, based on the average VWAP for such Successor Issuer Publicly Traded Equity Shares for each Trading Day during the five (5) Trading Day period ending the day before the Change of Control Effective Date. The remainder of the Non-Change of Control Conversion Amount will be paid in Successor Issuer Traded Shares in accordance with the definition of Non-Change of Control Conversion Amount. In the event information regarding such proposed Non-Change of Control Merger Event has not been widely-disseminated for at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Non-Change of Control Merger Event, clause (i) of the definition of Non-Change of Control Merger Conversion Price will be used to determine the cash amount on the effective date; provided, however, no later than the 23rd Trading Day following the effective date, the Non-Change of Control
6
Merger Conversion Price will be calculated pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Non-Change of Control Merger Conversion Price to determine the number of Successor Issuer Publicly Traded Shares necessary to satisfy the stock portion of the consideration, such that any changes in the VWAP following the effective date of such Non- Change of Control Merger Event will be reflected only in the stock portion of the consideration. If the Requisite Holders do not timely deliver a Non-Change of Control Merger Conversion Election:
(A) | if the Successor Issuer is a Qualified Successor Issuer, at the option of the Issuer (in its sole discretion), either (I) the Issuer will prepay the Note Obligations Amount in cash on the closing date of such Non-Change of Control Merger Event (upon which prepayment the Notes will cease to be outstanding), or (II) the Note shall automatically convert into a note with terms of the Nine Year Extension. The Issuer shall provide written notice of its election pursuant to the preceding sentence no later than the closing date of such Non-Change of Control Merger Event, provided that if the Issuer provides no such notice, the Nine Year Extension shall apply, or |
(B) | if the Successor Issuer is not a Qualified Successor Issuer, the Requisite Holders shall be deemed to have made a Par Redemption Election and the Issuer shall be entitled to elect any of the Par Redemption Options (which will be effected in accordance with Section 6(c)); or |
(ii) If, in connection with such Non-Change of Control Merger Event, the Common Stock is converted in whole or in part into, or exchanged for, the Common Equity of a Private Issuer (other than the Issuer), then (1) the Issuer shall ensure that the conversion obligations under the Note will be assumed by such Successor Issuer, (2) the term “Common Stock” as used herein shall, from the Non-Change of Control Merger Event Closing Date, mean the Common Equity into which the Common Stock is so converted or exchanged; and (3) from and after such Non-Change of Control Merger Event, the term “Issuer” when used in the terms “Equity Round”, “Last Qualified Round”, “Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities”, “Lowest Fundraising Round”, “Lowest Fundraising Round”, “Lowest Fundraising Round Equivalent Securities” and “Minimum Qualified Fundraising” shall refer to the Successor Issuer with respect to any Equity Rounds of the Successor Issuer occurring after such Non-Change of Control Merger Event; provided that prior to the occurrence of any subsequent Lowest Fundraising Round or Last Qualified Round of the Successor Issuer, the terms of “Lowest Fundraising Round Equivalent Securities” and “Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities” shall be deemed to refer to the kind and amount of shares of Capital Stock, other securities or other property or assets that a holder of a share of Lowest Fundraising Round Equivalent Securities or Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities received in such Non-Change of Control Merger Event; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of conversion of the Notes shall be adjusted as may be necessary to preserve the economic and financial value of the Notes to the Issuer and the Holders. In such
7
event, the Non-Change of Control Merger Event Notice delivered in connection with such Non-Change of Control Merger Event shall describe such adjustments as may be proposed by the Issuer, which adjustments (and no others) shall be effected unless the Requisite Holders dispute such proposed adjustments by written notice delivered to the Issuer not less than ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such Non-Change of Control Merger Event, in which case such dispute shall be resolved as set forth in Section 18.
(d) Subsidiary IPO.
(i) The Issuer shall not, and shall ensure that none of its Subsidiaries shall, conduct a Subsidiary IPO if the Subsidiary whose securities are offered in connection with such Subsidiary IPO owns, directly or directly, all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets or properties (determined on a consolidated basis); provided, however, that such Subsidiary IPO may be conducted upon the written consent of the Requisite Holders (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(ii) If the Issuer shall, within three months of any Subsidiary IPO, use the proceeds from such Subsidiary IPO to effect, or enter into any binding arrangement to use such proceeds to effect a redemption of, or any tender or repurchase offer for, any class or series of Preferred Stock (other than redemptions of, or tender or repurchase offers for, Capital Stock not exceeding in the aggregate 1% of the outstanding Capital Stock of the Issuer, and repurchase offers that are not made to all or substantially all holders of particular class or series of Preferred Stock), then the Issuer shall, within fifteen (15) days of such redemption or the consummation of such tender or repurchase offer, provide written notice to the Holders stating (a) the percentage of the total outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of the Issuer redeemed or repurchased with the proceeds from such Subsidiary IPO, calculated on an as-converted to common stock basis (the “Redemption Percentage”), and the per share (calculated on as-converted to common stock basis) redemption or repurchase price paid in such redemption or repurchase of Preferred Stock (the “Redemption Price”), and (b) the date by which the Holder must make a Post-Subsidiary IPO Redemption Election (as defined below) pursuant to this Section 3(d) (the “Post-Subsidiary IPO Redemption Election Deadline Date”), which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days immediately following such written notice. The Requisite Holders shall have the right to elect (a “Post-Subsidiary IPO Redemption Election”), by written notice to the Issuer no later than the Post-Subsidiary IPO Redemption Election Deadline Date, to require the Issuer to repurchase a portion of the Note Obligations Amount equal to the Redemption Percentage (the “Redemption Amount”) thereof at a purchase price equal to the product of (x) the Redemption Price, multiplied by (y) the number of shares of common stock that would have been issuable upon conversion of the number of Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities equal to the Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities Conversion Amount applicable to a conversion of the Redemption Amount. Any repurchases pursuant to this Section 3(d) shall be effected in accordance with, and subject to Section 6(b), within five (5) Business Days of the Post-Subsidiary IPO Redemption Election Deadline Date.
8
(e) Non-IPO Liquidity Event.
(i) No later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the first public filing date of any registration statement for any class or series of the Issuer’s Common Equity (other than in connection with an IPO or a Non-Change of Control Merger Event) in connection with which the Issuer expects to register such Common Equity under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer shall provide the Holder with a written notice of such filing date (the “Non-IPO Liquidity Event Notice”). The Non-IPO Liquidity Event Notice shall specify the Principal Market or other recognized securities exchange (a “Market”) on which such Common Equity is expected to be listed or admitted for trading, and the anticipated commencement of trading in such Common Equity on such Market (the “First Trading Day”). The date of the anticipated First Trading Day will be determined in good faith by the Issuer.
(ii) Upon the occurrence of a Non-IPO Liquidity Event, at the option of the Requisite Holders, which shall be exercised by written notice to the Issuer no later than the anticipated First Trading Day (such written notice, a “Non-IPO Liquidity Event Conversion Notice”), the outstanding Note Obligations Amount will convert in full on the date that is twenty three (23) Trading Days after the First Trading Day into a number of the applicable class or series of Common Equity equal to (i) the Note Obligations Amount on such conversion date, divided by (ii) the product of (a) the average of the VWAP of such class or series of Common Equity during each Trading Day during the twenty (20) Trading Day period beginning on the First Trading Day (such average, the “Non-IPO Liquidity Event Conversion Price”), multiplied by (b) one minus the then applicable Discount Rate.
(iii) As of the date immediately following the First Trading Date, this Note shall not be subject to any of the redemption, conversion or extension rights set forth in Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 herein (which Sections shall be deemed removed from this Note, except if such First Trading Date shall occur after the Initial Maturity Date, this Note shall have a Maturity Date of the next Applicable Maturity Date) if (A) upon the occurrence of a Non-IPO Liquidity Event, the Preferred Stock of the Issuer converts in its entirety to common stock and (B) the Requisite Holders have not timely delivered a Non-IPO Liquidity Event Conversion Notice to the Issuer on or prior to the First Trading Date.
(a) The Issuer shall deliver to the Requisite Holders a Change of Control Notice no less than thirty (30) days prior to any anticipated Change of Control Effective Date. The Requisite Holders will be required to make any applicable election (a “Change of Control Election”) with respect to the Notes in writing by notice to the Issuer no later than the tenth
9
(10th) day after delivery of the applicable Change of Control Notice (the “Change of Control Election Deadline”). Following delivery of such Change of Control Notice, the Issuer shall provide the Requisite Holders with such information regarding the terms of such Change of Control as they may reasonably request, subject to any restrictions on the Issuer pursuant to any applicable confidentiality agreement. Any such election to convert the Notes in connection with a Change of Control shall be irrevocable once delivered to the Issuer.
(b) If, in connection with such Change of Control, the common stock of the Issuer is converted into, or exchanged for, in whole or in part, Common Equity of a Public Issuer, subject to the closing of such Change of Control,
(i) if the Requisite Holders timely deliver a Change of Control Election as set forth in Section 4(a), the Note Obligations Amount shall automatically convert on the Change of Control Effective Date (or on the twentieth (20th) Trading Day immediately following the Change of Control Effective Date in the event clause (B) of the definition of Change of Control Public Issuer Conversion Price applies) into an amount of shares of Qualified Issuer Publicly Traded Shares of such Public Issuer (and/or cash as determined in (iii) below) equal to the Change of Control Public Issuer Conversion Amount, or
(ii) if the Requisite Holders do not deliver timely a Change of Control Notice as provided in Section 4(a) in connection with a Change of Control, at the option of the Issuer (in its sole discretion), either (A) the Issuer will prepay the Note Obligations Amount in cash on the Change of Control Effective Date (upon which prepayment the Notes will cease to be outstanding), or (B) the Note shall automatically convert into a note with terms of the Nine Year Extension. The Issuer shall provide written notice of its election pursuant to the preceding sentence no later than the closing date of such Change of Control, provided that if the Issuer provides no such notice, the Nine Year Extension shall apply.
In the case of clause (i), in a Change of Control transaction in which common stock of the Issuer is converted into part Qualified Issuer Publicly Traded Shares and part cash, the Change of Control Public Issuer Conversion Amount shall be paid in part cash and part Qualified Issuer Publicly Traded Shares, with the percentage of cash of the Change of Control Public Issuer Conversion Amount being determined on a proportionate basis (ignoring for this purpose any other type of property receivable in connection therewith) determined by comparing the aggregate cash received by holders of common stock of the Issuer to the aggregate value of Qualified Issuer Publicly Traded Shares received by holders of common stock of the Issuer, based on the average VWAP for such Qualified Issuer Publicly Traded Equity Shares for each Trading Day during the five (5) Trading Day period ending the day before the Change of Control Effective Date. The remainder of the Change of Control Public Issuer Conversion Amount will be paid in Qualified Issuer Publicly Traded Shares in accordance with the definition of Change of Control Public Issuer Conversion Amount. In the event information regarding such proposed Change of Control has not been widely-disseminated for at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the Change of Control Effective Date,
10
clause (A) of the definition of Change of Control Public Issuer Conversion Price will be used to determine the cash amount on the Change of Control Effective Date; provided, however, no later than the 23rd Trading Day following the Change of Control Effective Date, the Change of Control Public Issuer Conversion Price will be calculated pursuant to clause (B) of the definition of Change of Control Public Issuer Conversion Price to determine the number of Qualified Issuer Publicly Traded Shares necessary to satisfy the stock portion of the consideration, such that any changes in the VWAP following the Change of Control Effective Date will be reflected only in the stock portion of the consideration.
(c) If the Successor Issuer with respect to such Change of Control is a not a Public Issuer, or if the common stock of the Issuer is not exchanged for or otherwise converted into Common Equity of another Person in connection with such Change of Control, then subject to the closing of such Change of Control,
(i) if the Requisite Holders timely deliver a Change of Control Election as set forth in Section 4(a), the Issuer shall prepay the Note Obligations Amount in cash within thirty (30) days following the Change of Control Effective Date (upon which prepayment the Notes will cease to be outstanding), or
(ii) if the Requisite Holders do not timely deliver a Change of Control Notice as set forth in Section 4(a), the Note Obligations Amount shall automatically convert on the Change of Control Effective Date into an amount of Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities equal to the Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities Conversion Amount, and (if the Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities are converted into or exchanged for other securities, or cash or other property, upon such Change of Control) such Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities shall immediately convert into the type and amount of securities (of the Issuer or another issuer), cash and other property receivable upon such Change of Control by such Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities, or into which such Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities are converted or exchanged upon such Change of Control.
(a) The table below sets forth the options the Requisite Holders have with respect to each Maturity Date, and the required notice period to exercise such options. As described below, prior to each Maturity Date, and subject to the requisite notice, the Requisite Holders may select one of the options in the table below, or if no other option is timely selected, the Extended Maturity or Par Redemption Election, depending on the Maturity Date, shall automatically apply.

(g) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing Sections 5(a) to 5(e), if an IPO, a Subsidiary IPO, Non-Change of Control Merger Event, Non-IPO Liquidity Event or Change of Control occurs during the six months prior to any Maturity Date, then the Holders shall retain the rights in Sections 3 and 4 of this Note with respect to such IPO, Change of Control, Subsidiary IPO, Non-Change of Control Merger Event or Non-IPO Liquidity Event, as applicable.
1 | Such date which shall be six years from Issuance Date. |
2 | Such date which shall be seven years from Issuance Date. |
3 | Such date which shall be eight years from Issuance Date. |
12
(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at (or within thirty (30) days prior to) any Applicable Maturity Date or QIPO Maturity Extension Maturity Date, there exists a Material Financial Market Disruption, then (x) the Issuer shall have a one-time option (the “MAC Maturity Extension”) to extend the next Maturity Date for up to one (1) year (such extended Applicable Maturity Date, the “Market MAC Extended Maturity Date”), which option may be elected by written notice to the Holders on or prior to the Applicable Maturity Date, provided that during the period of such MAC Maturity Extension, Interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note at an interest rate of 12.50% per annum commencing on such Applicable Maturity Date, pursuant to the payment and accrual terms set forth in Section 2 (with such Interest payable either as PIK Interest or Cash Interest at the option of the Issuer), and/or (y) the Requisite Holders shall have a one-time option to withdraw any prior elections pursuant to subsections (a) through (e) of this Section 5 until the next applicable notice date prior to the next Maturity Date; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, during the term of this Note, the Issuer may elect to pursue the actions related to clause (x) above one time and the Requisite Holders may elect to pursue the actions related to clause (y) above one time, regardless of the number of occurrences of a Material Financial Market Disruption. A MAC Maturity Extension shall not operate to extend any subsequent Maturity Dates (i.e., if the 2021 Maturity Date is so extended, the 2022 Maturity Date and 2023 Maturity Date will remain the same), provided, however, if a MAC Maturity Extension coincides with the 2023 Maturity Date, the rights of the Holder on the 2023 Maturity Date will be in effect on the Market MAC Extended Maturity Date.
6. CONVERSION AND PAR REDEMPTION PROCEDURES.
(a) Conversion Right. Upon any Conversion Event, the portion of the outstanding Note Obligations Amount being converted shall be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Conversion Security, pursuant to the relevant terms set forth herein applicable to such Conversion Event. If the issuance of the Conversion Security would result in the issuance of a fractional share of the Conversion Security, the Issuer shall pay cash in lieu of such fractional share in an amount equal to the portion of the Note Obligation Amount otherwise represented by such fractional share. The Issuer shall pay any and all U.S. federal and state transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of the Conversion Security upon conversion of any Conversion Amount; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any issuance of the Conversion Security to any Person other than the converting Holder or with respect to any income tax due by the Holder with respect to such Conversion Security or as a result of such conversion and the Issuer shall not be required to make any such issuance or delivery unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance or delivery has paid to the Issuer the amount of any such transfer, stamp and similar tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Issuer, that such transfer, stamp and similar tax has been paid or is not payable.
13
(i) To exercise any of their conversion rights under this Note, (A) the Requisite Holders shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on or prior to the applicable Conversion Notice Date as set forth in the table below, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Issuer and (B) the Holder shall surrender this Note to a reputable common carrier for delivery to the Issuer (or shall provide an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) on or prior to the applicable conversion date (“Conversion Date”) as set forth in the table below:

Upon conversion of this Note, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable effort to deliver shares of Conversion Securities to such Person or Persons within five (5) Business Days of the applicable Conversion Date.
(iii) If the Conversion Securities are not available for issuance for any reason at any of the Conversion Dates set forth in this Note, then the period during which conversion may occur shall be extended until ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the Conversion Securities become available.
14
(c) Mechanics of Par Redemption, Final Payment/Extension Election and other Repayment or Redemptions of the Notes. The following procedures shall apply to Par Redemptions, the Final Prepayment/Extension Election and other payments of the Note Obligations Amount (other than in connection with any acceleration thereof pursuant to Section 8).
(i) In the event of a Par Redemption, the Issuer shall select a Par Redemption Option and the applicable Par Redemption Date by delivering to the Holder written notice thereof no later than fifteen (15) days after the closing date of the Non-Qualified IPO or fifteen (15) days prior to the Applicable Maturity Date or the closing of the Non-Change of Control Merger Event into a Public Issuer, pursuant to Section 3(c)(i), as applicable.
(ii) In connection with a Final Prepayment/Extension Election, the Issuer shall deliver notice of whether it intends to select the Seven Year Extension or prepay the Note Obligations Amount (and the applicable prepayment date) no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the 2023 Maturity Date.
(iii) In the event of a Preferred Par Redemption Election, the Issuer shall select a Preferred Par Redemption Option and the applicable redemption date for such Preferred Par Redemption Option by delivering to the Holder written notice thereof no later than fifteen (15) days after the closing date of the Qualified IPO.
(iv) In connection with any Par Redemption or any other prepayment of the Note, the Holder shall surrender the Note to a reputable common carrier for delivery to the Issuer (or provide an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Par Redemption Date or prepayment date.
(v) On the Par Redemption Date or other applicable repayment date (or, if later, on the Business Day following receipt by the Issuer of this Note or an indemnification undertaking), the Issuer shall pay any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Note that is required to be paid in cash on such Par Redemption Date or other prepayment date. The Issuer shall be entitled to condition such payment on its receipt of this Note (or indemnification undertakings in lieu thereof), and from and after payment of the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, this Note shall cease to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever.
(vi) In the case of an election of a Par Redemption Option or Preferred Par Redemption Option involving a conversion or partial conversion of the Note, (A) the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of the Conversion Security issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of the Conversion Security, and (B) the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable effort to deliver shares of Conversion Securities to such Person or Persons within five (5) Business Days of the applicable Par Redemption Date or applicable redemption date for any Preferred Par Redemption Option.
15
(vii) If the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note (together with any accrued, unpaid and non-capitalized Interest) is greater than the portion of the Note Obligations Amount being repaid, repurchased or converted, then the Issuer shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 14) representing the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note not repaid, repurchased or converted. In the event of a partial repayment of this Note pursuant hereto, the portion of the Note Obligations Amount repaid, repurchased or converted shall be deducted first from the aggregate amount of the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note and thereafter from an accrued, unpaid and non-capitalized Interest for the purposes of determining the Outstanding Principal Balance not repaid, repurchased or converted, any accrued, unpaid and non-capitalized Interest thereon, and calculating future Interest payments due on this Note pursuant to Section 2 following such partial repayment, repurchase or conversion.
7. DEFAULT. This Note shall be subject to the Event of Default provisions set forth in Section 6.3 of the Purchase Agreement.
8. REMEDIES. On the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been timely cured as provided in the Purchase Agreement:
(a) Acceleration of Note. The Requisite Holders may, at such Requisite Holders’ option, declare all sums due to the Holders of the Notes pursuant to the Notes to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same will become forthwith due and payable and the Requisite Holders will be entitled to proceed to selectively and successively enforce the Holder’s rights under the Purchase Agreement or any other instruments delivered to the Holder in connection with the Purchase Agreement (including any Notes); provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default of the type specified in Section 6.3(d)(iii) or (iv) of the Purchase Agreement shall cause the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance then outstanding (together with any other Note Obligations Amounts accrued or payable) to be, and the same shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable, without any further notice and without any presentment, demand, or protest of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Issuer.
16
(c) Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise and no delay in exercising any right hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right hereunder preclude any other or further right of exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not alternative.
10. RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES. So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Issuer shall, on or prior to the date of conversion of any Notes, take all action necessary, including amending the Charter, to reserve the requisite number of shares of its authorized and unissued capital stock (including with respect to the creation of any new Capital Stock of the Issuer subsequent to the Issuance Date), solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note, such that the number of shares of Conversion Security shall be duly and validly reserved and available for issuance at the time of the conversion of this Note, and upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Note, the Conversion Securities will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer under this Note, the Purchase Agreement, the Charter, the Bylaws or one or more of the Transaction Agreements, applicable federal and state securities Laws or liens or encumbrances created by or imposed by the Purchasers.
12. VOTE TO CHANGE THE TERMS OF NOTES. This Note, and any of the terms and provisions hereof, may be amended from time to time with (and only with) the written consent of the Requisite Holders and the Issuer. The Requisite Holders may waive compliance by the Issuer with any of the terms hereof. Any amendment or waiver to which the Requisite Holders have consented in writing shall be binding upon all Holders.
13. TRANSFER AND RELATED PROVISIONS.
(a) Except as provided in Section 7.3 of the Purchase Agreement, this Note may not be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by the Holder without the prior written consent of the Issuer. Any offer, sale, assignment or other transfer of this Note is also subject to the restrictive legends on this Note.
(b) The Issuer shall maintain and keep updated a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of each Note and the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes held by such holders (the “Registered Notes”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Issuer and the holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes, including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of Principal hereunder, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Registered Note may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a satisfactory request to assign or sell all or part of any Registered Note by a Holder and the physical surrender of this Note to the Issuer, the Issuer shall record the information
17
contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes, the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of which is the same as the entire Outstanding Principal Balance of the surrendered Registered Note, to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 14.
(a) Transfer. If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Issuer, whereupon the Issuer will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 14(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Note being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance of the Note held by the Holder is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section 14(d)) to the Holder representing the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Note not being transferred. The Holder and any transferee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 14(d) following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note, the Outstanding Principal Balance represented by this Note may be less than the Outstanding Principal Balance stated on the face of this Note.
(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Issuer of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Issuer in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 14(d)) representing the Outstanding Principal Balance.
(c) Note Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Issuer, for a new Note or Notes (in accordance with Section 14(d)) representing in the aggregate the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note, and each such new Note will represent such portion of such Outstanding Principal Balance as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.
(d) Issuance of New Notes. Whenever the Issuer is required to issue a new Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such new Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the remaining Outstanding Principal Balance (or in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to Section 14(a) or Section 14(c), the Outstanding Principal Balance designated by the Holder which, when added to the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance represented by the other new Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the remaining Outstanding Principal Balance under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note, (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note, if any, from the Issuance Date; and (vi) shall be timely prepared and issued by the Issuer, but in no event shall the Issuer issue such new Note more than five (5) Business Days after surrender of this Note or the receipt of the evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer pursuant to Section 14(b), as the case may be.
18
15. REMEDIES. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise, including injunctive relief or specific performance. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
16. CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Issuer and all the Holders and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Note are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Note.
17. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. The Holder shall not by any act or omission be deemed to waive any of its rights or remedies under this Note or the Purchase Agreement unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Holder, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein.
18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. In the case of the Requisite Holders dispute the Issuer’s the determination of the VWAP, any adjustment to the terms of conversion of the Note effected by the Issuer pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii) or any arithmetic calculations by the Issuer under this Note, the Requisite Holders shall submit to the Issuer their determination or calculations thereof. If the Requisite Holders and the Issuer are unable to agree upon such determination, adjustment or calculation within five (5) Business Days of the submission by the Requisite Holders, then the Issuer shall, within five (5) Business Days thereafter submit (a) the disputed determination of the VWAP, the disputed adjustment to the terms of conversion of the Note effected pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii) hereof, as the case may be, to an independent, reputable investment bank (which is ranked in the top twenty (20) investment banks nationally, by revenue) selected by the Issuer and approved by the Requisite Holders, or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to the Issuer’s independent, outside accountant, or if such accountant is unwilling, an accountant reasonably satisfactory to the parties (which is ranked in the top twenty (20) accounting firms nationally, by revenue). The Issuer shall cause such investment bank or accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determination, adjustment or calculation, as the case may be, and notify the Issuer and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determination, adjustment or calculation, as the case may be. The Issuer shall pay the costs and expense of such investment bank or accountant, as applicable, unless determination, adjustment or calculation of such investment bank or accountant is mathematically closer to the Issuer’s determination, adjustment or calculation than the determination, adjustment or calculation submitted by the Requisite Holders, in which case, the costs and expenses of such investment bank or accountant shall be paid by the Requisite Holders. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination, adjustment or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. The procedures required by this Section 18 are collectively referred to as the “Dispute Resolution Procedures”.
19
19. NOTICES AND PAYMENTS.
(a) Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 7.5 of the Purchase Agreement.
(b) Payments. Whenever any payment of cash is to be made by the Issuer to any Person pursuant to this Note, such payment shall be made in cash via wire transfer of immediately available funds by providing the Issuer with prior written notice setting out such request and the Holder’s wire transfer instructions. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and, in the case of any Interest Payment Due Date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of Interest due on such date. All payments to be made by the Issuer under this Note to any United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (who has provided an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9), shall be paid free and clear of and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all taxes. All payments to be made by the Issuer under this Note to any person other than a United States person (a “non-United States person”) shall be paid free and clear of and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all taxes, unless such deduction or withholding is required by law, in which case Issuer shall withhold such taxes and such withheld amounts shall be treated as paid to the Holder to extent they are remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. In the event that a taxing authority retroactively determines that a payment made by Issuer under this Note to a non-United States person should have been subject to withholding (or to additional withholding) for taxes, and Issuer remits such withholding tax to the taxing authority, Issuer will have the right to offset such amount (including interest and penalties that may be imposed thereon) against future payment obligations of Issuer to such non-United States person under this Note.
20. WAIVER OF NOTICE. To the extent permitted by law, the Issuer hereby waives demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note and the Purchase Agreement.
21. GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION AND SEVERABILITY. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Issuer hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute
20
or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Note. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Issuer in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Issuer’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder.

1. Dividend Provisions. The holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends, out of any assets legally available therefor, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend (payable other than in Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or other securities and rights convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock of the Corporation, provided that an adjustment to the respective Conversion Price (as defined below) of such other securities or rights has been made in accordance with Section 4(d)(ii) below) on the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock of the Corporation, at the rate of (a) $0.0029 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like occurring after the Effective Time) per annum on each outstanding share of Series Seed Preferred Stock, (b) $0.02337 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like occurring after the Effective Time) per annum on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock, (c) $0.11343 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like occurring after the Effective Time) per annum on each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock, (d) $1.14032 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like occurring after the Effective Time) per annum on each outstanding share of Series C-1 Preferred Stock, (e) $0.91225 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like occurring after the Effective Time) per annum on each outstanding share of Series C-2 Preferred Stock, (f) $1.14032 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like occurring after the Effective Time) per annum on each outstanding share of Series C-3 Preferred Stock, and (g) $4.96418 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like occurring after the Effective Time) per annum on each outstanding share of Series D Preferred Stock, payable quarterly when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”). Such dividends shall not be cumulative. After payment of such dividends, any additional dividends or distributions shall be distributed among the holders of Preferred Stock, Class A Common Stock, and Class B Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock then held by each holder (assuming conversion of all such Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock).
2
2. Liquidation.
(a) Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets, funds or proceeds (the “Proceeds”) available for distribution from such Liquidation Transaction (as defined below) of the Corporation to the holders of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to (a) $0.03625 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like occurring after the Effective Time) for each share of Series Seed Preferred Stock (the “Series Seed Original Purchase Price”), (b) $0.36993 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like occurring after the Effective Time) for each share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Original Purchase Price”), (c) $1.4179 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like occurring after the Effective Time) for each share of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Original Purchase Price”), (d) the product obtained by multiplying (i) 1.25 by (ii) the Series C-1 Original Purchase Price for each share of Series C-1 Preferred Stock (such product, the “Series C-1 Liquidation Preference”), (e) the product obtained by multiplying (i) 1.25 by (ii) the Series C-2 Original Purchase Price for each share of Series C-2 Preferred Stock (such product, the “Series C-2 Liquidation Preference”), (f) the product obtained by multiplying (i) 1.25 by (ii) the Series C-3 Original Purchase Price for each share of Series C-3 Preferred Stock (such product, the “Series C-3 Liquidation Preference”), and (g) $62.0522 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like occurring after the Effective Time) for each share of Series D Preferred Stock (the “Series D Original Purchase Price”), then held by them, plus declared but unpaid dividends. If, upon the occurrence of such event, the Proceeds available for distribution to stockholders shall be insufficient to permit the payment to the holders of the Preferred Stock of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, the entire Proceeds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Preferred Stock in proportion to the preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive. The “Series C-1 Original Purchase Price” shall mean $14,254 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like occurring after the Effective Time). The “Series C-2 Original Purchase Price” shall mean $11.4032 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like occurring after the Effective Time). The “Series C-3 Original Purchase Price” shall mean $14,254 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like occurring after the Effective Time). The Series Seed Original Purchase Price, Series A Original Purchase Price, Series B Original Purchase Price, Series C-1 Original Purchase Price, Series C-2 Original Purchase Price, Series C-3 Original Purchase Price and Series D Original Purchase Price are each sometimes referred to as an “Original Purchase Price.”
(b) Remaining Assets. Upon the completion of the distribution required by Section 2(a) above, if Proceeds remain, the holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of the Corporation shall receive all of the remaining Proceeds available for distribution to stockholders which shall be distributed ratably among such holders in proportion to their respective number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock then held.
Notwithstanding the above, for purposes of determining the amount each holder of shares of Preferred Stock is entitled to receive with respect to a Liquidation Transaction, each such holder of shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have converted (regardless of whether such holder actually converted) such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (as applicable) immediately prior to the Liquidation Transaction if, as a result of an actual conversion, such holder would receive, in the aggregate, an amount greater than the amount that would be distributed to such holder if such holder did not
3
convert such Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (as applicable). If any such holder shall be deemed to have converted shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph, then such holder shall not be entitled to receive any distribution that would otherwise be made to holders of Preferred Stock that have not converted (or have not been deemed to have converted) into shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock.
(c) Certain Acquisitions.
(i) Deemed Liquidation. For purposes of this Section 2, a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation shall be deemed to occur (A) if the Corporation shall sell, convey, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, property or business, (B) if the Corporation shall grant an exclusive and irrevocable license of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s intellectual property to a third party, (C) if the Corporation shall merge with or into or consolidate with any other corporation, limited liability company or other entity (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation), except a merger or consolidation in which the stockholders of the Corporation immediately prior to the transaction own more than 50% of the voting stock of the surviving corporation following the transaction (taking into account only stock of the Corporation held by such stockholders prior to the transaction)), or (D) upon the closing of the transfer (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons (other than an underwriter of the Corporation’s securities), of the Corporation’s securities if, after such closing, such person or group of affiliated persons would hold 50% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation (or the surviving or acquiring entity); provided, however, that none of the following shall be considered a Liquidation Transaction: (i) a merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Corporation and (ii) an equity financing in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation; and provided further, that the treatment of any particular transaction or series of related transactions as a Liquidation Transaction may only be waived by (a) the vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis), (b) the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (c) the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock, (d) the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C-2 Preferred Stock, or if no shares of Series C-2 Preferred Stock are outstanding, the written consent of holders of the right to acquire shares of Series C-2 Preferred Stock pursuant to that certain Investment Agreement, dated on or after the date of the filing of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), between the Corporation and TPG Ubiquity Holdings, LP (the “Investment Agreement”)), and (e) the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock (any such transaction, unless elected otherwise, a “Liquidation Transaction”). For the avoidance of doubt, voting “on an as-converted basis” shall be deemed to preserve the ten (10) votes for each share of Class B Common Stock into which shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, and Series B Preferred Stock may be converted, and one (1) vote for each share of Class A Common Stock into which shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock, Series C-3 Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock may be converted, as set forth in Section 5(a).
4
(ii) Mechanics of Payment. In the event of a Liquidation Transaction effected by a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other entity (a “Merger Liquidation”), payment to the holders of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall be made in the form of consideration specified in the definitive agreement evidencing such Merger Liquidation (with Proceeds allocated as set forth above in paragraphs 2(a) and 2(b)). In the event of a Liquidation Transaction that is effected other than by Merger Liquidation, or in the event that the definitive agreement evidencing a Merger Liquidation does not specify the form in which payment of the consideration should be made, the payment to the holders of Preferred Stock or required by this Section 2(c) shall be made 100% in cash unless the Board of Directors determines otherwise, provided, however, that (i) all holders of Preferred Stock must receive the same form or forms of consideration (and, if more than one form, in the same proportion), and (ii) all holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock must receive the same form or forms of consideration (and, if more than one form, in the same proportion), unless the holders of at least a majority of the Preferred Stock then outstanding (voting together as a single class and on an as-converted basis) elect otherwise and, all series of Preferred Stock are treated equally.
(iii) Valuation of Consideration. In the event of a Liquidation Transaction, if all or a portion of the consideration received by the Corporation is other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, provided that any securities shall be valued as follows:
(A) Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability:
(1) If traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be based on the formula specified in the definitive agreements for the Liquidation Transaction, or if no such formula exists, then the value shall be based on a formula approved by the Board of Directors and derived from the closing prices of the securities on such exchange over a specified time period;
(2) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be based on the formula specified in the definitive agreements for the Liquidation Transaction or, if no such formula exists, then the value of such securities shall be based on a formula approved by the Board of Directors and derived from the closing bid or sales prices (whichever is applicable) of such securities over a specified time period; and
(3) If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(B) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder’s status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as specified above in Section 2(c)(iii)(A) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(iv) Notice of Liquidation Transaction. The Corporation shall give each holder of record of Preferred Stock written notice of any impending Liquidation Transaction not later than ten (10) days prior to the stockholders’ meeting called to approve such Liquidation Transaction, or ten (10) days prior to the closing of such Liquidation Transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing of the final approval of such
5
(v) Effect of Noncompliance. In the event the requirements of this Section 2 are not complied with, the Corporation shall forthwith either cause the closing of the Liquidation Transaction to be postponed until the requirements of this Section 2 have been complied with, or cancel such Liquidation Transaction, in which event the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the holders of Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions existing immediately prior to the date of the first notice referred to in Section 2(c)(iv).
(vi) Allocation of Escrow and Contingent Consideration. Subject to Sections 2(c)(vii)-(x) below, in the event of a Liquidation Transaction, if any portion of the Proceeds is placed into escrow and/or is payable to the stockholders of the Corporation subject to contingencies, notwithstanding the operation of this Section 2, the definitive agreement with respect to such transaction shall provide that the portion of such Proceeds that is placed in escrow and/or is subject to contingencies shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation pro rata based on the amount of such consideration otherwise payable to each stockholder pursuant to this Section 2 (such that each stockholder has the same percentage of the Proceeds payable to it placed into escrow and/or subject to contingencies, as applicable).
(vii) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if the per-share value of the stock, cash, other assets or any combination thereof to be distributed to the holders of Series C-1 Preferred Stock for each share of Series C-1 Preferred Stock upon a Liquidation Transaction is an amount that is less than the Series C-1 Liquidation Preference, then the Corporation will notify each holder of Series C-1 Preferred Stock at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such Liquidation Transaction, and at the sole election of the holders of a majority of the Series C-1 Preferred Stock, (A) the Preferred Stock Conversion Price applicable to the Series C-1 Preferred Stock will be adjusted immediately prior to the Liquidation Transaction such that the total value of the securities to be received by the holders of Series C-1 Preferred Stock for each share of Series C-1 Preferred Stock will be equal to the Series C-1 Liquidation Preference, (B) the Corporation shall make a cash payment (a “Cash Payment”) to the holders of each share of Series C-1 Preferred Stock such that the value of the securities to be received by the holders of the Series C-1 Preferred Stock for each share of Series C-1 Preferred Stock plus such Cash Payment will equal the Series C-1 Liquidation Preference or (C) a combination of the actions described in (A) and (B) shall be made, provided that the total amount
6
of value received by such holders in any such combination of the actions described in (A) and (B) shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the Series C-1 Liquidation Preference. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2(c)(vii) shall only apply to the extent the per-share value to be distributed is an amount that is less than the Series C-1 Liquidation Preference, after giving effect to Section 4(b)(i).
(viii) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if the per-share value of the stock, cash, other assets or any combination thereof to be distributed to the holders of Series C-2 Preferred Stock for each share of Series C-2 Preferred Stock upon a Liquidation Transaction will be equal to an amount that is less than the Series C-2 Liquidation Preference, then the Corporation will notify each holder of Series C-2 Preferred Stock at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such Liquidation Transaction, and at the sole election of the holders of a majority of the Series C-2 Preferred Stock, and only to the extent that the per-share value to be distributed is an amount that is less than the Series C-2 Liquidation Preference after giving effect to and including in the calculation of the per-share value to be distributed to such holders any amounts paid or payable to such holders under the Loan, Pledge, and Option Agreement, dated on or after the date of the filing of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, among the Corporation, TPG Ubiquity Holdings, L.P. (“TPG”) and Expa-I, LLC (the “Option Agreement”), (A) the Preferred Stock Conversion Price applicable to the Series C-2 Preferred Stock will be adjusted immediately prior to the Liquidation Transaction such that the total value of the securities to be received by the holders of Series C-2 Preferred Stock for each share of Series C-2 Preferred Stock will be equal to the Series C-2 Liquidation Preference, (B) the Corporation shall make a Cash Payment to the holders of each share of Series C-2 Preferred Stock such that the value of the securities to be received by the holders of the Series C-2 Preferred Stock for each share of Series C-2 Preferred Stock plus such Cash Payment will equal the Series C-2 Liquidation Preference or (C) a combination of the actions described in (A) and (B) shall be made, provided that the total amount of value received by such holders in any such combination of the actions described in (A) and (B) shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the aggregate Series C-2 Liquidation Preference. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2(c)(viii) shall only apply to the extent the per-share value to be distributed is an amount that is less than the Series C-2 Liquidation Preference, after giving effect to Section 4(b)(ii).
(ix) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if the per-share value of the stock, cash, other assets or any combination thereof to be distributed to the holders of Series C-3 Preferred Stock for each share of Series C-3 Preferred Stock upon a Liquidation Transaction is an amount that is less than the Series C-3 Liquidation Preference, then the Corporation will notify each holder of Series C-3 Preferred Stock at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such Liquidation Transaction, and at the sole election of the holders of a majority of the Series C-3 Preferred Stock, (A) the Preferred Stock Conversion Price applicable to the Series C-3 Preferred Stock will be adjusted immediately prior to the Liquidation Transaction such that the total value of the securities to be received by the holders of Series C-3 Preferred Stock for each share of Series C-3 Preferred Stock will be equal to the Series C-3 Liquidation Preference, (B) the Corporation shall make a Cash Payment to the holders of each share of Series C-3 Preferred Stock such that the value of the securities to be received by the holders of the Series C-3 Preferred Stock for each share of Series C-3 Preferred Stock plus such Cash Payment will equal the Series C-3 Liquidation Preference or (C) a combination of the actions described in (A) and (B) shall be made, provided that the total amount of value received by such holders in any such combination of the actions described in (A) and (B) shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the Series C-3 Liquidation Preference. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2(c)(ix) shall only apply to the extent the per-share value to be distributed is an amount that is less than the Series C-3 Liquidation Preference, after giving effect to Section 4(b)(iii).
7

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2(c)(x) shall only apply to the extent the per-share value to be distributed is an amount that is less than the Series D Original Purchase Price, after giving effect to Section 4(b)(iv).
(xi) For the purposes of the calculations set forth in Sections 2(c)(vii), (viii), (ix), and (x), the value of any securities or other consideration to be received upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, shall be determined as follows: if the securities or other consideration to be received upon the Liquidation Transaction are not then publicly traded, then the value of the securities or other consideration to be received by the holders of Series C Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, in the Liquidation Transaction shall be as determined by a nationally recognized third-party investment bank mutually agreeable to the Corporation, the holders of a majority of the Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock, voting together on an as-converted basis.

(iii) If the per-share value of the stock, cash, other assets or any combination thereof to be received by the holders of Series C-3 Preferred Stock for each share of Series C-3 Preferred Stock to be converted in such Preferred Stock Conversion Event is an amount that is less than the Series C-3 Liquidation Preference, then the Corporation will notify each holder of Series C-3 Preferred Stock at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of such Preferred Stock Conversion Event, and at the sole election of the holders of a majority of the Series C-3 Preferred Stock, (A) the Preferred Stock Conversion Price applicable to the Series C-3 Preferred Stock will be adjusted immediately prior to the Preferred Stock Conversion Event such that the total value of the securities to be received by the holders of Series C-3 Preferred Stock for each share of Series C-3 Preferred Stock to be converted in such Preferred Stock Conversion Event will be equal to the Series C-3 Liquidation Preference, (B) the Corporation shall make a Cash Payment to the holders of each share of Series C-3 Preferred Stock such that the value of the securities to be received by the holders of the Series C-3 Preferred Stock for each
10
share of Series C-3 Preferred Stock to be converted in such Preferred Stock Conversion Event plus such Cash Payment will equal the Series C-3 Liquidation Preference or (C) a combination of the actions described in (A) and (B) shall be made, provided that the total amount of value received by such holders in any such combination of the actions described in (A) and (B) shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the aggregate Series C-3 Liquidation Preference.
(iv) Solely if the shares of Series D Preferred Stock are converted to shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to clause (y) of Section 4(b) (the “Vote Conversion Event”):
(A) if the Vote Conversion Event is in connection with, or in anticipation of or contemplation of, any Liquidation Transaction (a “Liquidation Transaction Vote Conversion Event”), and the per-share value of the stock, cash, other assets or any combination thereof to be received by the holders of Series D Preferred Stock for each share of Series D Preferred Stock to be converted in the Liquidation Transaction Vote Conversion Event is an amount that is less than the Series D Original Purchase Price, then the Corporation will notify each holder of Series D Preferred Stock at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of such Liquidation Transaction Vote Conversion Event, and at the sole election of the holders of a majority of the Series D Preferred Stock, (1) the Preferred Stock Conversion Price applicable to the Series D Preferred Stock will be adjusted immediately prior to the Liquidation Transaction Vote Conversion Event such that the total value of the securities to be received by the holders of Series D Preferred Stock for each share of Series D Preferred Stock to be converted in such Liquidation Transaction Vote Conversion Event will be equal to the Series D Original Purchase Price, (2) the Corporation shall make a Cash Payment to the holders of each share of Series D Preferred Stock such that the value of the securities to be received by the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock for each share of Series D Preferred Stock to be converted in such Liquidation Transaction Vote Conversion Event plus such Cash Payment will equal the Series D Original Purchase Price or (3) a combination of the actions described in (1) and (2) shall be made, provided that the total amount of value received by such holders in any such combination of the actions described in (1) and (2) shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the aggregate Series D Original Purchase Price; and
(B) if the Vote Conversion Event is not a Liquidation Transaction Vote Conversion Event, the provisions of Paragraph (A) immediately above shall not apply, and the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be required to automatically convert the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock.
The provisions of this Section 4(b)(iv) shall not apply if the shares of Series D Preferred Stock are converted to shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to clause (x) of Section 4(b).
11
(v) For the purposes of the calculations set forth in Sections 4(b)(i), (ii), (iii), and (iv), the value of any securities or other consideration to be received upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, shall be determined as follows: (x) if the Preferred Stock Conversion Event is a public offering and the Series C Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, is to be converted into shares of the securities to be issued in the public offering, then the value of such securities shall be equal to the final per share public offering price of such securities; and (y) if the securities or other consideration to be received upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, are not then publicly traded and the applicable Preferred Stock Conversion Event is other than a public offering, then the value of the securities or other consideration to be received by the holders of Series C Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, in the Preferred Stock Conversion Event shall be as determined by a nationally recognized third-party investment bank mutually agreeable to the Corporation, the holders of a majority of the Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, voting together on an as-converted basis.
(c) Mechanic of Conversion. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to voluntarily convert such Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (as applicable), the holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed (or a reasonably acceptable affidavit and indemnity undertaking in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate), at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for such series of Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (as applicable) are to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (as applicable) to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid and a certificate for the remaining number of shares of Preferred Stock if less than all of the Preferred Stock evidenced by the certificate were surrendered for conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on (i) the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted or (ii) if applicable, the date of automatic conversion specified in Section 4(b) above, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (as applicable) issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (as applicable) as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten public offering of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act or a Liquidation Transaction the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering such Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering or the closing of such Liquidation Transaction, in which event any persons entitled to receive Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (as applicable) upon conversion of such Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities or such Liquidation Transaction.
12
(d) Preferred Stock Conversion Price Adjustments for Certain Dilutive Issuances, Splits and Combinations. The Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows, and in the case of Series C-2 Preferred Stock, whether or not such Series C-2 Preferred Stock is outstanding (for the avoidance of doubt, when a share of Series C-2 Preferred Stock is issued, it shall be issued with the then applicable Preferred Stock Conversion Price), and in the case of Series C-1 Preferred Stock, whether or not such Series C-1 Preferred Stock is outstanding (for the avoidance of doubt, when a share of Series C-1 Preferred Stock is issued, it shall be issued with the then applicable Preferred Stock Conversion Price), and in the case of Series C-3 Preferred Stock, whether or not such Series C-3 Preferred Stock is outstanding (for the avoidance of doubt, when a share of Series C-3 Preferred Stock is issued, it shall be issued with the then applicable Preferred Stock Conversion Price):
(i) Issuance of Additional Stock below Purchase Price. If the Corporation should issue, at any time after the filing of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”), any Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Preferred Stock Conversion Price applicable to a series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock, the Preferred Stock Conversion Price for such series in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall automatically be adjusted as set forth in this Section 4(d)(i), unless otherwise provided in this Section 4(d)(i).
(A) Adjustment Formula. Whenever the Preferred Stock Conversion Price for a series of Preferred Stock is adjusted pursuant to this Section (4)(d)(i), the new Preferred Stock Conversion Price with respect to such series shall be determined by multiplying the Preferred Stock Conversion Price then in effect for such series by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance (the “Outstanding Common”) plus the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for such issuance would purchase at such Preferred Stock Conversion Price; and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Outstanding Common plus the number of shares of such Additional Stock. For purposes of the foregoing calculation, the term “Outstanding Common” shall include shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock deemed issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(i)(E) below.
(B) Definition of “Additional Stock”. For purposes of this Section 4(d)(i), “Additional Stock” shall mean any shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(i)(E)) by the Corporation after the Effective Time) other than
(1) Shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock;
(2) Shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like) issuable or issued to employees, officers, consultants or directors of the Corporation or other persons performing services for the Corporation, pursuant to a stock option plan or restricted stock plan approved by the Board of Directors;
13
(3) Shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock issued upon exercise of options, warrants or convertible securities outstanding on the date hereof;
(4) Shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock issued pursuant to stock dividends, stock splits or similar transactions, as described in Section 4(d)(ii) hereof;
(5) Shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, or warrants or options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, issued pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation or entity pursuant to a consolidation, merger, purchase of all or substantially all the assets of such entity, or other reorganization in which the Corporation acquires, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of such entity or fifty percent (50%) or more of the equity ownership in such entity, provided that such transaction or series of transactions has been approved by the Board of Directors;
(6) Shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, or warrants or options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, issued to parties that are (i) actual or potential suppliers or customers, strategic partners investing in connection with a commercial relationship with the Corporation or (ii) providing the Corporation with equipment leases, real property leases, loans, credit lines, guaranties of indebtedness, cash price reductions or similar transactions, under arrangements, in each case approved by the Board of Directors;
(7) Shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, or warrants or options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, issued in a Qualified IPO;
(8) Up to 7,750,920 shares of Series C-2 Preferred Stock issued to TPG pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement and any shares of Class A Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion thereof;
(9) Shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, or warrants or options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, issued to persons or entities who do not at the time of issuance hold any capital stock of the Corporation (or securities convertible into such capital stock), which issuances are primarily for non-equity financing purposes and are unanimously approved by the Board of Directors, at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock, at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C-2 Preferred Stock (or if no shares of Series C-2 are outstanding, written consent of holders of right to acquire Series C-2 Preferred Stock pursuant to the Investment Agreement), and at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, and the Board of Directors and such holders of Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock specifically state that such shares are excluded from the definition of “Additional Stock”.
14
(C) No Fractional Adjustments. No adjustment of the Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be made in an amount less than one-hundredth of one cent per share, provided that any adjustments which are not required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be either taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made prior to three years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, or shall be made at the end of three years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward or at such earlier date as all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted into Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (as applicable).
(D) Determination of Consideration. In the case of the issuance of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the Corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof. In the case of the issuance of the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined by the Board of Directors, irrespective of any accounting treatment.
(E) Deemed Issuances of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. In the case of the issuance (whether before, on or after the Effective Time) of securities or rights convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (the “Common Stock Equivalents”), the following provisions shall apply for all purposes of this Section 4(d)(i):
(1) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (as applicable) deliverable upon conversion, exchange or exercise (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility, exchangeability or exercisability, including, without limitation, the passage of time, and including the effect of antidilution adjustments that have already been made) of any Common Stock Equivalents and subsequent conversion, exchange or exercise thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such Common Stock Equivalents were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for any such Common Stock Equivalents (excluding any cancellation of debt), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by the Corporation (but including the effect of antidilution adjustments that have already been made) upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in Section 4(d)(i)(D)).
(2) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock deliverable or in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents, other than a change resulting from the antidilution provisions thereof, the Preferred Stock Conversion Price, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such Common Stock Equivalents, shall be recomputed to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock or any payment of such consideration upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Common Stock Equivalents.
15
(3) Upon the termination or expiration of the convertibility, exchangeability or exercisability of any Common Stock Equivalents, the Preferred Stock Conversion Price, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such Common Stock Equivalents, shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (and Common Stock Equivalents that remain convertible, exchangeable or exercisable) actually issued upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Common Stock Equivalents.
(4) The number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid therefor pursuant to Section 4(d)(i)(E)(l) shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described in either Section 4(d)(i)(E)(2) or 4(d)(i)(E)(3).
(F) No Increased Conversion Price. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section (4)(d)(i), except to the limited extent provided for in Sections 4(d)(i)(E)(2) and 4(d)(i)(E)(3), no adjustment of the Preferred Stock Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4(d)(i) shall have the effect of increasing the Preferred Stock Conversion Price of such series above the Preferred Stock Conversion Price of such series in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(ii) Stock Splits and Dividends. In the event the Corporation should at any time after the Effective Time fix a record date for (A) the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock or (B) the determination of holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents without payment of any consideration by such holder other than in the form of Corporation securities, for the additional shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock issuable upon exchange, conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (as applicable) issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents with, if applicable, the number of shares issuable with respect to Common Stock Equivalents determined from time to time in the manner provided for deemed issuances in Section 4(d)(i)(E).
(iii) Reverse Stock Splits. If the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Effective Time is decreased by a reverse stock split or combination of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, then, following the record date of such combination, the Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (as applicable) issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.
16
(e) Other Distributions. In the event the Corporation shall declare a distribution (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 4 or in Section 2 of this Article IV(B)) payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in Section 4(d)(i) or 4(d)(ii), then, in each such case for the purpose of this Section 4(e), the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (as applicable) of the Corporation into which their shares of Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to receive such distribution (or the date of such distribution if no record date is set).
(f) Recapitalizations. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 4 or in Section 2 of this Article IV(B)) provision shall be made so that the holders of the Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of such Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise, to which a holder of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of such Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 (including adjustment of the Preferred Stock Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of such Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable.
(g) No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments.
(i) No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Preferred Stock, and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (as applicable) to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. The number of shares issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (as applicable) and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (as applicable) issuable upon such aggregate conversion. If the conversion would result in any fractional share, the Corporation shall, in lieu of issuing any such fractional share, pay the holder thereof an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of such fractional share on the date of conversion, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(ii) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Preferred Stock Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of such series of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Preferred Stock Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (C) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (as applicable) and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of such series of Preferred Stock.
17
(h) Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Preferred Stock, at least 10 days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.
(i) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
(j) Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be given to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of the Corporation.
(k) Waiver of Adjustment to Preferred Stock Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) any downward adjustment of the Conversion Price for the Series Seed Preferred Stock may be waived, either prospectively or retroactively and either generally or in a particular instance, by the consent or vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis); (ii) any downward adjustment of the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock may be waived, either prospectively or retroactively and either generally or in a particular instance, by the consent or vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis); (iii) any downward adjustment of the Conversion Price for the Series B Preferred Stock may be waived, either prospectively or retroactively and either generally or in a particular instance, by the consent or vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis); (iv) any downward adjustment of the Conversion Price for the Series C-1 Preferred Stock may only be waived, either prospectively or retroactively and either generally or in a particular instance, by the consent or vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis), (v) any downward adjustment of the Conversion Price for the Series C-2 Preferred Stock may only be waived, either prospectively or retroactively and either generally or in a particular instance, by the consent or vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C-2 Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class on an as-
18
converted basis) or if no share of Series C-2 Preferred Stock is outstanding, by written consent of holders of the right to acquire Series C-2 Preferred Stock pursuant to the Investment Agreement, and (vi) any downward adjustment of the Conversion Price for the Series D Preferred Stock may only be waived, either prospectively or retroactively and either generally or in a particular instance, by the consent or vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis). Any such waiver shall bind all future holders of shares of the Series Seed Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable.
5. Voting Rights.
(a) General Voting Rights. Except as expressly provided by this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or as provided by law, (i) the holders of Series Seed Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, and Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right to ten (10) votes for each share of Class B Common Stock into which such Series Seed Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, and Series B Preferred Stock could then be converted, and with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equivalent to those of the holders of Class B Common Stock and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation, and (ii) the holders of Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock, Series C-3 Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock shall have the right to one (1) vote for each share of Class A Common Stock into which such Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock, Series C-3 Preferred Stock, or Series D Preferred Stock could then be converted, and with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equivalent to those of the holders of Class A Common Stock and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation. Except as expressly provided by this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or as provided by law, the holders of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, and Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class on an as converted basis on all matters upon which holders of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, and Preferred Stock have the right to vote. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights available on an as-converted basis (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half and greater being rounded upward).
(b) Election of Directors. For so long as at least 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like occurring after the Effective Time), the holders of Series A Preferred Stock (voting together as a separate class and on an as-converted basis) shall be entitled to elect one (1) director of the Corporation (the “Series A Director”) at any election of directors. For so long as at least 2,000,000 shares of Series C-2 Preferred Stock and/or rights to acquire at least 2,000,000 shares of Series C-2 Preferred Stock under the Investment Agreement are outstanding (in each case, as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like occurring after the Effective Time), the holders of Series C-2 Preferred Stock (voting together as a separate class and on an as-converted basis) (or, prior to the issuance of any shares of Series C-2 Preferred Stock, the holders of the right to acquire Series C-2 Preferred Stock pursuant to the Investment Agreement, by written consent) shall be entitled to designate one (1) director of the Corporation (the “Series C-2 Director”, and together with the Series A Director, each a “Preferred Director”). The holders of Class B Common Stock (voting separately as a single
19
class) shall be entitled to elect six (6) directors of the Corporation at any election of directors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the holders of Series Seed Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-3 Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock, nor the holders of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to vote in the election or removal of any directors of the Corporation.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 223(a)(1) and 223(a)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, any vacancy, including newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or amendment of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and vacancies created by removal or resignation of a director, may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and the directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until their successors are duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced; provided, however, that where such vacancy occurs among the directors elected by the holders of a class or series of stock, the holders of shares of such class or series may override the action of the Board of Directors to fill such vacancy by (i) voting for their own designee to fill such vacancy at a meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders or (ii) written consent, if the consenting stockholders hold a sufficient number of shares to elect their designee at a meeting of the stockholders. Any director may be removed during his or her term of office, either with or without cause, by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of the class or series of stock entitled to elect such director or directors, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders, and any vacancy thereby created may be filled by the holders of that class or series of stock represented at the meeting or pursuant to written consent.
6. Protective Provisions.
(a) So long as shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like), the Corporation shall not (by amendment, merger, reclassification, consolidation or otherwise, either directly or indirectly by subsidiary) without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class and on an as-converted basis:
(i) liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business and affairs of the Corporation;
(ii) effect any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into one or more other entities in which the stockholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such event hold, immediately after, stock representing less than a majority of the voting power of the outstanding stock of the surviving entity (other than for purposes of changing the Corporation’s domicile and other than pursuant to a sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets) that would result in proceeds to the holders of any series of Preferred Stock of less than the Original Purchase Price of such series of Preferred Stock;
(iii) the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets that would result in proceeds to the holders of Preferred Stock of less than the Original Purchase Price of any series of such Preferred Stock;
20
(iv) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Corporation so as to materially and adversely affect the Preferred Stock;

5. Conversion
(a) Each share of Class B Common Stock shall be convertible into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder thereof at any time upon written notice to the Corporation. Before any holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to convert any shares of such Class B Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the principal corporate office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Class B Common Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock are to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Class B Common Stock, or to the nominee or nominees or such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Class B Common Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock as of such date. Each share of Class B Common Stock that is converted pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall be retired by the Corporation and shall not be available for reissuance.
(b) Each share of Class B Common Stock shall be automatically, without further action by the holder thereof, converted into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock, upon the occurrence of a Transfer (as defined in Section (E)(2) of this Article IV), other than a Permitted Transfer (as defined in Section (E)(3) of this Article IV), of such share of Class B Common Stock. Each outstanding stock certificate that, immediately prior to such Transfer, represented one or more shares of Class B Common Stock subject to such Transfer shall, upon and after such Transfer, be deemed to represent an equal
26
number of shares of Class A Common Stock, without the need for surrender or exchange thereof. The Corporation shall, upon the request of each such holder and upon receipt of such holder’s outstanding certificate, issue and deliver to such holder new certificates representing such holder’s shares of Class A Common Stock. Each share of Class B Common Stock that is converted pursuant to this Section (B)(5)(b) of Article IV shall be retired by the Corporation and shall not be available for reissuance.
(c) The Corporation may, from time to time, establish such policies and procedures, not in violation of applicable law or the other provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, relating to the conversion of the Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock and the dual class common stock structure contemplated by this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, including without limitation the issuance of stock certificates in connection with any such conversion, as it may deem necessary or advisable. If the Corporation has reason to believe that a Transfer giving rise to a conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock has occurred but has not theretofore been reflected on the books of the Corporation, the Corporation may request that the holder of such shares furnish affidavits or other evidence to the Corporation as it reasonably deems necessary to determine whether a conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock has occurred, and if such holder does not within ten (10) days after the date of such request furnish sufficient evidence to the Corporation (in the manner provided in the request) to enable the Corporation to determine that no such conversion has occurred, any such shares of Class B Common Stock, to the extent not previously converted, shall be automatically converted into shares of Class A Common Stock and the same shall thereupon be registered on the books and records of the Corporation. In connection with any action of stockholders taken at a meeting or by written consent, the stock ledger of the Corporation shall be presumptive evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders or in connection with any written consent and the classes of shares held by each such stockholder and the number of shares of each class held by such stockholder.
6. Subdivisions or Combinations. If the Corporation in any manner subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, then the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock will be subdivided or combined in the same proportion and manner.
7. Equal Status. Except as expressly set forth in this Article IV, Class B Common Stock shall have the same rights and powers of, rank equally to, share ratably with and be identical in all respects and as to all matters to Class A Common Stock.
8. Reservation of Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock
9. Protective Provision. The Corporation shall not, by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, without first obtaining the approval (by vote at a stockholders meeting or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate class, amend, alter, repeal or waive Sections (B)(2)(b), (C), (D) or (E) of this Article IV.

Any Purchaser that is a Special Purpose Purchaser agrees that prior to a Qualified IPO or a Non-Qualified IPO, without the prior consent of the Company, the Purchaser, or general partner or manager of such Purchaser, shall not grant such consent except in connection with any transfer (i) effected for estate planning purposes, (ii) pursuant to divorce settlements, (iii) that occurs by operation of law, by will or intestacy, or (iv) to an affiliate or to an entity established solely for the benefit of the applicable SPV Investor or his immediate family; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) other than with respect to the GS Purchaser, no SPV Investor may transfer its SPV Investor Interest unless it transfers the entirety of its SPV Investor Interest to one (1) person (such that the transfer would not result in an increase in the total number of SPV Investors in such Special Purpose Purchaser) and (B) solely with respect to the GS Purchaser, no SPV Investor may transfer its SPV Investor Interest in the GS Purchaser if it would result in the total number of SPV Investors in the GS Purchaser exceeding 1,000.
(b) Transfers of Convertible Notes and Conversion Securities. The Convertible Notes and securities issued by the Company upon the conversion thereof shall be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Rights Agreement; provided, that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Stockholders Agreements, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Notes, the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Company’s Bylaws, each as may be amended and restated from time to time:
(i) at any time following an IPO (as defined in the Convertible Notes), Purchaser shall be entitled to distribute Conversion Securities in-kind to the SPV Investors; provided, that, to the extent the Purchaser is still subject to the lock-up period in the lock-up agreement at the time of any such distribution, each SPV Investor shall be required to sign a lock-up agreement in identical form to the lock-up agreement executed by the Purchaser as required pursuant to Section 1.14 of the Rights Agreement to continue until expiration of the lock-up period applicable to such Purchaser; and
(ii) at any time following the issuance of the Convertible Notes, Purchaser shall be entitled to transfer any or all of the Convertible Notes, Conversion Securities or any other capital stock or securities of the Company if such transfer is necessary to bring Purchaser (or its affiliates) into compliance with applicable law, rule or regulation or to the extent required by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over Purchaser or their affiliates (the “Legal Requirements”); provided, that, in each instance, Purchaser shall (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the Legal Requirements without having to transfer any or all of the Convertible Notes, Conversion Securities or any other capital stock or securities of the Company, and (B) to the extent legally permissible, promptly notify the Company of such requirement.
4. Non-Company Conversion. In the event the Company proposes to enter into any transaction that would, if such transaction were consummated, give rise to any right or obligation to convert the Convertible Notes into Conversion Securities that are not equity securities issued by the Company (a “Third Party Issuer”), then, to the extent that the Company and/or the Third Party Issuer enters into an agreement whereby the Third Party Issuer grants registration rights to the Company’s preferred stockholders, the Purchasers shall be granted registration rights on par with the registration rights granted to the Company’s preferred stockholders.
5. Agreement to be Bound. Each Purchaser hereby (a) acknowledges that each Purchaser has received and reviewed a complete copy of each of the Stockholder Agreements and (b) agrees that upon a Company Conversion, Purchaser shall become a party to each of the Stockholder Agreements and shall be fully bound by, and subject to, all of the covenants, terms and conditions of the applicable terms of each of the Stockholder Agreements as in effect on the date hereof, as may be amended and restated from time to time, and as amended and modified as set forth herein.
6. Agreement to Vote. Each undersigned Existing Stockholder hereby agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all shares of capital stock of the Company owned by such Existing Stockholder, or over which such Existing Stockholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary (including, but not limited to, approving an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each as may be amended and restated from time to time), to authorize a sufficient number of the shares of Conversion Securities as may be necessary to effect a Conversion of all of the Convertible Notes on or prior to the time of such Conversion, in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement. In the event of any proposed transfer by any Existing Stockholder (the “Transferor”), the result of such transfer being that the Existing Stockholders would not possess sufficient voting power in the Company to authorize Conversion Securities as set forth in this Section 6, then the Transferor shall not make such transfer, and the Company shall not permit such transfer, unless the transferee agrees to be bound by this Section 6. In the event of any proposed issuance of voting securities by the Company following the date hereof, the result of which being that the Existing Stockholders would not possess sufficient voting power in the Company to authorize Conversion Securities as set forth in this Section 6, then the Company shall, as a condition to such issuance, require the purchaser of such securities to agree to be bound by this Section 6. The obligations set forth in this Section 6 shall terminate following the closing of an IPO.
7. Governing Law. This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.
8. Ratification. Except as amended and modified by this Agreement, the Stockholder Agreements shall remain in full force and effect.
9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile shall be as effective as of the delivery of a dully executed counterpart of this Agreement.
10. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.
11. Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable Law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
12. Notices. Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient upon delivery, when delivered personally or by overnight courier or 48 hours after being deposited in the U.S. mail, as certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, addressed to the party to be notified at such party’s address as set forth on the signature page or Exhibit A hereto, or as subsequently modified by written notice, and (a) if to the Company, with a copy to Fenwick & West LLP, 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxx X.

13. Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended or waived pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 7.9 of the Note Purchase Agreement; provided, that, the Company may, without the consent or approval of any Purchaser, cause additional persons to become party to this Agreement as Purchasers pursuant to Section 14 (with the rights and obligations hereof) and amend Exhibit A hereto accordingly; provided, further, that any amendment or waiver of Section 6 shall require the consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable or issued upon conversion of the Company’s preferred stock then held by the Existing Stockholders, voting together as a single class and on an as-converted basis.
14. Additional Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company issues additional Convertible Notes after the date hereof pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, any purchaser of a Convertible Note may become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering an additional counterpart signature page to this Agreement, and thereafter shall be deemed a “Purchaser” for all purposes hereunder. No action or consent by the Purchasers shall be required for such joinder to this Agreement by such additional Purchaser, so long as such additional Purchaser has agreed in writing to be bound by all of the obligations as an “Purchaser” hereunder by executing and delivering an additional counterpart signature page to this Agreement.
