Article IX
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY OF SECURITIES
9.1 Restrictions on Transferability.
(a) The Shares shall not be transferable to any person, other than an Affiliate of the Investor, without the prior written consent of Issuer (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Investor will cause any proposed transferee of the Shares held by Investor to agree to take and hold such Shares subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this ARTICLE IX.
17
(b) So long Investor owns any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Holdings agrees not to offer, pledge, sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
9.2 Restrictive Legends. Each certificate representing the Shares, and any other securities issued in respect of the Shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event (except as otherwise permitted by the provisions of this ARTICLE IX), shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with legends in substantially the form of the legend set forth in Section 6.6 and the following form:
(a) “THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SECURITIES (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST OF THE SECURITIES). A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED BY THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”
(b) Any other legends required by applicable state securities laws.
Issuer need not register a transfer of legended Shares and may also instruct its transfer agent not to register the transfer of the Shares, unless the conditions specified in each of the foregoing legends are satisfied.
9.3 Removal of Legend and Transfer Restrictions. Any legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to Section 6.6, Subsection 9.2(a) and the stop transfer instructions with respect to such legended Shares shall be removed, and Issuer shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of such Shares, if such Shares are registered under the Securities Act and a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act is available or if such holder satisfies the requirements of Rule 144(b)(1).
9.4 Non-Application to Other Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that none of the provisions of this Article IX shall apply to any shares of Lumentum Common Stock held by Investor or the Exchange Shares.
Article X
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
10.1 Demand Registration.
(a) Request by Investor. Commencing upon the date that Investor exchanges any shares of Lumentum Common Stock into Holdings Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of ARTICLE XI hereof, if Holdings shall receive from Investor (which right shall be non-assignable) a written request that Holdings file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of Registrable Securities with an aggregate public offering price of not less than $15.0 million, then Holdings shall, as soon as practicable, use all commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities that Investor requested to be registered, subject to the limitations of this ARTICLE X. For purposes of this ARTICLE X, “Registrable Securities” means: (i) any and all shares of Holdings Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of the shares of Lumentum Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Lumentum Common Stock and the subsequent exchange of such shares into shares of Holdings Common Stock pursuant to ARTICLE XI hereof, and (ii) any shares of Holdings Common Stock issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, in exchange for, or in replacement of, such shares of Holdings Common Stock described in clause (i); provided, however, that particular
18
shares of any of the foregoing shall cease to be Registrable Securities once they have been sold to in any public offering or transferred by Investor in a transaction in which its rights under this Agreement are not assigned in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
(b) Underwriting. If Investor intends to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its request by means of an underwriting, then it shall so advise Holdings in the written notice made pursuant to Section 14.8. The Investor shall select one or more investment banking firms of national standing reasonably acceptable to Holdings for the distribution. Investor and Holdings shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting.
(c) Exceptions to Registration Obligations. Holdings shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 10.1: (i) after Holdings shall effect one (1) such registration pursuant to this Section 10.1; or (ii) if Holdings furnishes to Investor a certificate signed by an executive officer of Holdings stating that, in the good-faith judgment of the Board of Directors of Holdings, it would be detrimental to Holdings for such registration to be effected at such time due to the existence of a material development involving Holdings that Holdings would be obligated to disclose in such registration statement, in which event Holdings shall have the right to defer the filing of the registration statement for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Investor under this Section 10.1; provided, however, that Holdings shall not invoke this right more than once. A registration shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 10.1 until such time as the applicable registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC, unless the Investor withdraws its request for such registration and forfeits its right to a demand registration pursuant to Section 10.1.
(d) Other Company Shares. If the managing underwriters have not limited the Registrable Securities to be underwritten, Holdings may include securities for its own account or for the account of others in such registration if the managing underwriters so agree and if the number of Registrable Securities which would otherwise have been included in such registration and underwriting will not thereby be limited.
10.2 Company Registration.
(a) Notice to Investor. If Holdings proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by Holdings for stockholders other than Investor) any of its stock in connection with the public offering of such stock (other than a registration relating solely to the issuance of securities by Holdings pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar benefit plan or an SEC Rule 145 transaction, or a registration in which the only stock being registered is stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered), Holdings shall promptly give Investor written notice of such registration. Upon the request of Investor (which right shall be non-assignable) within twenty (20) days after such notice is given by Holdings, Holdings shall, subject to the provisions of Section 10.2(c), use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that Investor has requested to be included in such registration.
(b) Right to Terminate Registration. Holdings shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 10.2 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not Investor has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by Holdings in accordance with Section 10.5.
(c) Underwriting. If a registration of which Holdings gives notice under this Section 10.2 is for an underwritten offering, then Holdings shall so advise Investor. In such event, the right of Investor to include Investor’s Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon Investor’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Investor’s Registrable
19
Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. Investor shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriters selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriters advise Holdings in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten, then the managing underwriters may exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to Holdings, and second, to Investor; provided, however, that no such reduction shall reduce the amount of securities of the Investor included in the registration below thirty percent (30%) of the total amount of securities included in such registration. In no event will shares of any other selling stockholder be included in such registration which would reduce the number of shares that may be included by Investor without the written consent of Investor. If Investor disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, Investor may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to Holdings and the managing underwriters. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.
10.3 Obligations of Holdings. Whenever required under this ARTICLE X to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, Holdings shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of Investor, keep such registration statement effective until Investor has completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto; provided, however, before the filing of each registration statement and amendment and supplements thereto, Holdings shall provide to Investor copies of all documents proposed to be filed or furnished, including documents incorporated by reference into the registration statement, and allow Investor the opportunity review and comment thereon and Holdings will make such changes and additions as may be reasonably requested by Investor prior to such filing (in furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, under no circumstances shall any information about Investor be included in a registration statement or an amendment or supplement thereto without Investor’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed));
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus (and any free writing prospectus) used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;
(c) furnish without charge to Investor such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus and any free writing prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by them that are included in such registration;
(d) use commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such states or other jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by Investor, provided that Holdings shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;
(e) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriters of such offering (it being understood and agreed that, as a condition to Holdings’ obligations under this clause (e), Investor participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement);
20
(f) promptly notify Investor of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;
(g) in the event of an underwritten public offering, use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish, at the request of the managing underwriters, (A) on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing Holdings for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, and (ii) a “comfort” letter dated as of such date, from the independent public accountants of Holdings, in form and substance customarily given by independent public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, and (B) to cause members of senior management of Holdings and Issuer to be available to participate in, and to reasonably cooperating with, the managing underwriters in connection with customary marketing activities (including conference calls, one-on-one meetings with prospective purchasers and road shows);
(h) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by Holdings are then listed;
(i) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such registration statement and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration; and
(j) promptly make available for inspection by the Investor, any managing underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the Investor, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of Holdings and cause Holdings’ officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with any such registration statement.
10.4 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Holdings to take any action pursuant to Sections 10.1 or 10.2 hereof that Investor shall furnish to Holdings such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to timely effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.
10.5 Expenses. All expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions and stock transfer taxes) reasonably incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to Sections 10.1 and 10.2, including, without limitation, registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for Holdings, all reasonable, documented, out of pocket expenses related to the “road-show” for any underwritten offering (including all travel, meals, and lodging), and transfer agents and registrar’s fees and expenses shall be borne by Holdings. In addition, Holdings shall pay or reimburse Investor for the reasonable, documented fees and expenses of one law firm chosen by Investor as its counsel in connection with its exercise of its registration rights under this ARTICLE X. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holdings shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 10.1 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of Investor (in which case Investor shall bear such expenses). For the sake of clarity, it is understood all underwriting discounts and commissions and stock transfer taxes incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to Sections 10.1 and 10.2 shall be borne by Investor.
21
10.6 Delay of Registration. No Investor shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this ARTICLE X.
10.7 Indemnification for Registrations. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 10.1 or 10.2 hereof:
(a) Indemnification By Holdings. To the extent permitted by law, Holdings shall indemnify and hold harmless Investor, its directors, officers, representatives, partners, members, legal counsel and accountants, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for Investor and each person, if any, who controls Investor or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Investor Indemnified Party”), against any expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law or otherwise, insofar as such expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each a “Violation”):
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, or any free writing prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein;
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by Holdings of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any federal or state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement;
and Holdings shall reimburse each Investor Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 10.7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such expense, loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of Holdings (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall Holdings be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of an Investor Indemnified Party expressly for use in connection with such registration by such party. This indemnity shall be in addition to any other liability Holdings may otherwise have. The indemnity herein shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any knowledge or investigation made by or on behalf of an Investor Indemnified Party, and shall survive the transfer by Investor of its Holdings Common Stock.
(b) Indemnification By Investor. To the extent permitted by law, Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless Holdings, its directors, officers and each person, if any, who controls Holdings within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for Holdings, any underwriter and any other stockholder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other stockholder’s partners, directors or officers or any person who controls such stockholder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, a “Holdings Indemnified Party”), against any expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal
22
or state law, insofar as such expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation arises out of or is based on actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration that has not been corrected in a subsequent registration statement, preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, or any free writing prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting the claim; and Investor shall reimburse such Holdings Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 10.7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such expense, loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further, that the total amounts payable in indemnity by Investor under this Section 10.7(b) in respect of any Violation shall not exceed the net proceeds received by Investor in the registered offering out of which such Violation arises except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by Investor.
(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10.7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 10.7, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding or the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of a claim within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the indemnified party. If the defense of a claim is assumed by the indemnifying party, then such indemnifying party shall not settle or otherwise compromise the applicable claim unless (i) such settlement or compromise contains a full and unconditional release of the indemnified party of all liability in respect to such claim or litigation or (ii) the indemnified party otherwise consents in writing. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 10.7, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 10.7.
(d) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.7 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 10.7 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Section 10.7; then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the Violation that resulted in such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability as well as other equitable considerations. The relative fault of such parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
23
omission of a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) Investor shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds from the sale of all Registrable Securities offered and sold by Investor pursuant to such registration statement, and (B) no individual or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any individual or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further, that in no event shall Investor’s liability pursuant to this Section 10.7(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by Investor pursuant to Section 10.7(b), exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by Investor, except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by Investor.
(e) Survival. Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the offering, the obligations of Holdings and Investor under this Section 10.7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this ARTICLE X, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
10.8 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, after such time as a public market exists for the Holdings Common Stock, Holdings agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by Holdings for an offering of its securities to the general public;
(b) use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Holdings under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements);
(c) furnish to Investor, so long as Investor owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by Holdings as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by Holdings for an offering of its securities to the general public), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of Holdings and (iii) such other reports and documents of Holdings as Investor may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing Investor to sell any such securities without registration (at any time after Holdings has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act); and
(d) in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition by Investor of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, promptly cause the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be sold and the removal of any legend restricting transfers of the Registrable Securities, and enable certificates for such Registrable Securities to be issued (or, in the case of book-entry shares, make or cause to be made appropriate notifications on the books of Holdings’ transfer agent) for such number of shares and registered in such names as Investor may reasonably request and to provide a customary opinion of counsel required by Holdings’ transfer agent.
10.9 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Investor agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriters, during the period commencing on the effective date of a registration statement relating to any registered public offering of Holdings’ Common Stock and ending on the date specified by Holdings and the managing underwriters (such period not to exceed
24
ninety (90) days, (i) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Holdings Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by Investor or are thereafter acquired) or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 10.9 shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement. The underwriters in connection with the offering are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 10.9 and shall have the right, power, and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Investor further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriters in the offering that are consistent with this Section 10.9 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, Holdings may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of Investor (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.
The obligations of Investor under this Section 10.9 shall terminate immediately upon the termination of Holdings’ obligations pursuant to Sections 10.1 and 10.2.
10.10 Termination of Registration Rights. Holdings’ obligations pursuant to Sections 10.1 and 10.2 hereof shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) five years after the date of the Exchange, or (ii) immediately prior to a “Liquidation Event” (as such term is defined in the Certificate of Designations).
Article XI

Upon the consummation of a Voluntary Conversion (as such term is defined in the Certificate of Designations), the shares of Lumentum Common Stock issued to Investor in book-entry format pursuant to the Certificate of Designations shall immediately, automatically, irrevocably, and without any further action on the part of Investor or the need for Investor to pay any consideration to the parties, be exchanged (“Exchange”) into an equal number of shares of Holdings Common Stock (“Exchange Shares”).
11.2 Mechanics of Exchange. Holdings or its transfer agent shall, as soon as practicable after the Exchange, issue and deliver to Investor a certificate or certificates representing the Exchange Shares to which it shall be entitled as aforesaid.

To the extent Holdings is unable to perform its obligations under this ARTICLE XI for any reason, Holdings and Issuer shall take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to deliver the Exchange Shares to Investor, including causing the Exchange Shares to be listed for trading on The NASDAQ Stock Market or such other exchange on which the shares of Holdings Common Stock are currently listed at the time of the Exchange.
11.7 Conversion Price Information. As soon as reasonably practical after the Measurement Date, Seller shall inform Investor in writing of the Conversion Price, as defined in the Certificate of Designations, which good faith figure shall be accompanied by sufficiently detailed documentation supporting Seller’s computation of the foregoing.

Article XII
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS
12.1 Dividends on Lumentum Series A Preferred Stock. Dividends shall be cumulative and accrue on the Lumentum Series A Preferred Stock at an annual rate equal to 2.5% of the “Issuance Value” (as such term is defined in the Certificate of Designations) per share, and shall be paid in cash on a quarterly basis. If after the Closing Date, at any time, and from time to time, Issuer has not paid a quarterly dividend on the Lumentum Series A Preferred Stock, then such missed dividend payment shall not be extinguished and shall remain an accrued dividend of Issuer (“Cumulative Dividends”). Until such time as all Cumulative Dividends are paid in full, (i) Issuer shall refrain from paying any dividends or making any distributions on any other equity securities of Issuer, including the payment of any dividend or making of any distribution to Holdings for any equity securities of Issuer held thereby, except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designations, and (ii) Holdings shall refrain from paying any dividends or making any distributions to any equity holders of Holdings or effecting any repurchase of its equity securities.
12.2 Standstill. During the period beginning on date hereof and ending on the second anniversary of the date hereof (“Standstill Period”), Investor shall not, directly or indirectly through a subsidiary:
(a) act, alone or in concert with others, to seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect control of the management, Board of Directors or policies of Issuer or to seek a waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
(b) take any action that results in Investor having to file or amend a Schedule 13D indicating an intention, plan or proposal to do any of the foregoing; or
(c) effect any purchase of Holdings Common Stock or any securities convertible into Holdings Common Stock.
12.3 Publicity. All press releases and other public disclosures concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be subject to review and approval by JDSU and Investor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, that to the extent a party shall be required to make an announcement, disclosure or filing pursuant to any law of its home jurisdiction or any jurisdiction in which any of its securities are publicly traded or the rules of any stock exchange upon which its securities are listed or any securities quotation system on which such securities are traded, it shall be permitted to do so without an approval of JDSU or Investor, as the case may be; provided, further that such party has used commercially reasonable efforts to consult with JDSU or Investor, as the case may be, and strictly limits such announcement, disclosure or filing to the minimum disclosure required by law or such rules. The other parties may then also make an announcement, disclosure or filing containing the same.
26
12.4 Efforts to Complete.
(a) Subject to the final approval by the JDSU board of directors of the Distribution, in its unilateral discretion, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other party or parties hereto in doing, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable law to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) cause the conditions set forth in Articles VI and VII to be satisfied; (ii) obtain all necessary actions or non-actions, waivers, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from governmental authorities and make all necessary registrations, declarations and filings with governmental authorities; and (iii) execute or deliver any additional instruments reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement.
(b) Each party shall cooperate with one another in good faith to (i) promptly determine whether any filings are required to be or should be made, and whether any other consents, approvals, permits or authorizations are required to be or should be obtained, from any governmental authority under any other applicable law in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) promptly make any filings, furnish information required in connection therewith and seek to obtain timely any such consents, permits, authorizations, approvals or waivers that the parties determine are required to be or should be made or obtained in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
(c) From the date of this Agreement, in connection with any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement thereto, Holdings shall allow Investor the opportunity review and comment thereon and Holdings will make such changes and additions as may be reasonably requested by Investor prior to filing such amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, under no circumstances shall any information about Investor be included in the Registration Statement without Investor’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
12.5 Notification of Certain Matters. Prior to the Closing, JDSU shall give prompt written notice to Investor of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event known to JDSU the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would reasonably be expected to cause any representation or warranty contained in Articles III or IV to be untrue, or the failure of any of the parties (other than Investor) to comply with or satisfy any of their covenants or agreements under this Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Investor shall give prompt written notice to JDSU of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event known to JDSU the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would reasonably be expected to cause any representation or warranty contained in Article V to be untrue, or the failure of Investor to comply with or satisfy any of its covenants or agreements under this Agreement.
12.6 Confidentiality. Investor agrees that it shall keep confidential and not disclose, divulge or use for any purpose any confidential information obtained from Holdings regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, unless such confidential information (a) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.6 by Investor), (b) is or has been independently developed or conceived by Investor without use of Holdings’ confidential information, or (c) is or has been made known or disclosed to Investor by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to Holdings; provided, however, that an Investor may disclose confidential information (i) to its attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with monitoring its investment in Holdings or to exercise its rights hereunder,
27
(ii) to any prospective purchaser of any Registrable Securities from Investor, if such prospective purchaser agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.6, (iii) to any Affiliate, partner, member, stockholder, or wholly owned subsidiary of Investor in the ordinary course of business, provided that Investor informs such Person that such information is confidential and directs such Person to maintain the confidentiality of such information, or (iv) as may otherwise be required by law, provided that Investor promptly notifies Holdings of such disclosure and takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure. The confidentiality obligations of Investor under this Section 12.6 shall terminate on the second anniversary of the date hereof.
12.7 Capitalization; Maintenance of Ownership Structure.
(a) From and after the Closing Date, Holdings shall ensure that the number of issued and outstanding shares of Lumentum Common Stock will at all times equal the number of issued and outstanding shares of Holdings Common Stock (it being understood that only one adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made as a result of the same substantive transaction).
(b) From the Closing Date until the earlier of the date that (x) Investor receives the Exchange Shares and (y) no Lumentum Series A Preferred Stock remains issued and outstanding, (i) Holdings agrees that it will not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Lumentum Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable in any manner into Lumentum Common Stock to any Person, and (ii) Issuer agrees that it will not issue any Lumentum Common Stock or grant any option, warrant or other derivative security of any character that is convertible or exchangeable into Lumentum Common Stock to any Person other than Holdings.
12.8 Further Assurances. In the event that at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, each of the parties will take all such reasonable actions (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents and causing its directors and shareholders to take requisite action) as any other party hereto reasonably may request. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, if at any time (a) the Certificate of Designations or any portion thereof is found to be invalid or ineffective, (b) Issuer takes the position that the Certificate of Designations or any portion thereof is invalid or ineffective and refuses to permit the Investor to exercise any right provided for therein, or (c) for any other reason the Investor otherwise does not receive all of the rights and benefits contemplated by this Agreement, the Certificate of Designations or the Exchange Rights, then the parties shall take all such other action as may be requested by the Investor that is required to cause the Investor to receive, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the rights and benefits the Investor would receive under this Agreement, the Certificate of Designations and the Exchange Rights (including any requisite adjustment to an exchange ratio). In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Certificate of Designations, then the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall govern, except as required by law.
12.9 Joinder. Holdings shall cause Issuer prior to the Closing and promptly following Issuer’s formation to join this Agreement as a full counter-party and to become jointly and severally subject to the obligations of Holdings and Seller with respect to the entirety of this Agreement, including the representations and warranties, indemnification, registration rights, exchange rights and other obligations of Holdings and JDSU, as the case may be, under this Agreement (the “Issuer Joinder Agreement”). The parties agree that the Issuer Joinder Agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Investor.
Article XIII
SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION
13.1 Survival. Each of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing of this Agreement and expire on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (or until
28
final resolution of any claim or action arising from the breach of any such representation and warranty, if notice of such breach was provided prior to the end of such period); other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.7, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4, which shall survive the Closing of this Agreement and expire on the earlier of (x) the twentieth anniversary of the Closing Date and (y) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for such claim (or until final resolution of any claim or action arising from the breach of any such representation and warranty, if notice of such breach was provided prior to the end of such period), and thereafter shall expire and have no further force and effect (“Survival Period”). Except as otherwise provided herein, all covenants and agreements contained herein, other than those which by their terms are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing Date, shall terminate upon the consummation of the Closing.
13.2 Indemnification.
(a) Issuer and JDSU hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Investor Indemnified Parties, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, costs, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and costs of investigation, litigation, defense and enforcement), amounts paid in settlement and other costs (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or resulting from (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of Issuer’s or its Affiliate’s representations or warranties in this Agreement, or (ii) Issuer’s or its Affiliate’s breach of its agreements or covenants in this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 13.2(a), in determining the amount of any Losses in respect of the failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct as of any particular date, and not in determining if a breach has occurred, the representations and warranties in this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedules) shall be deemed to have been made without any qualifications as to “Material Adverse Effect,” “material,” “in all material respects” and similar qualifications as to materiality shall be deemed to be deleted therefrom (except where any such provision requires disclosure of lists of items of a material nature or above a specified threshold).
(b) JDSU hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investor Indemnified Parties to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from:
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement;
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by Holdings of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any federal or state securities law in connection with the Registration Statement.
(c) Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless JDSU and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, members and employees, and each person who controls Issuer, JDSU or Holdings within the meaning of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Issuer Indemnified Parties”), to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from (1) any inaccuracy in or breach of Investor’s representations or warranties in this Agreement, or (2) any breach of Investor’s agreements or covenants in this Agreement.
(d) A party entitled to indemnification hereunder (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (“Indemnifying Party”) of
29
any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification promptly after the discovery by such Indemnified Party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced by the failure of such Indemnified Party to so notify such party. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail such claim. In case any such action, suit, claim or proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party by a third-party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and conduct the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, unless (i) such claim seeks remedies, in addition to or other than, monetary damages that are reasonably likely to be awarded, (ii) such claim involves a criminal proceeding, (iii) counsel to the Indemnified Party advises such Indemnifying Party in writing that such claim involves a conflict of interest (other than one of a monetary nature) that would reasonably be expected to make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall not have assumed the defense of the third-party claim within 10 Business Days of receipt of the first notice of such third-party claim sent by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party, or (v) the amount of Losses that the Indemnified Party could suffer under the claim at any point during the pendency of the dispute is greater than the remaining monetary indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement. If any one of the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) applies, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (except that the Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for the legal fees and expenses of one law firm for all Indemnified Parties, taken together with respect to any single action or group of related actions). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any claim, the Indemnified Party shall nevertheless be entitled to hire, at its own expense, separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof; provided, that all Indemnified Parties shall thereafter deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the claim, and each Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, suit, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party further agrees that it will not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof in any pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been sought hereunder unless such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action, suit, claim or proceeding.
(e) Except for actions grounded in fraud or willful misconduct, from and after the Closing, the indemnification provided in this ARTICLE XIII shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for any Indemnified Party for damages arising out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with any claims relating to this Agreement or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided however, that this exclusive remedy for damages shall not preclude a party from bringing an action for specific performance or other equitable remedy to require a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any agreement entered into in connection herewith.
(f) An Indemnified Party shall not make a claim against an Indemnifying Party for indemnification under this ARTICLE XIII for Losses unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses exceeds one percent (1%) of the Shares Purchase Price (“Basket”), in which event an Indemnified Party may claim indemnification for Losses in excess of the amount of the Basket. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Basket shall not apply (and an Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for all Losses of an Indemnified Party with respect thereto) to any Losses arising out of or related to (ii) fraud or willful misconduct, or (ii) actions based on a breach of Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.7, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4.
30
(g) Other than in the case of fraud or willful misconduct, the aggregate indemnification obligations of the parties hereto shall not exceed, in the case of JDSU and Issuer, the Shares Purchase Price and in the case of Investor, the Shares Purchase Price.
(h) Any claim for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE XIII for breach of any representation or warranty can only be brought on or prior to the expiration of the Survival Period; provided that if notice of a claim for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE XIII for breach of any representation or warranty is brought prior to the end of such period, then the obligation to indemnify in respect of such breach shall survive as to such claim, until such claim has been finally resolved.
(i) No investigation by or knowledge of any Indemnified Party shall limit such Indemnified Party’s exercise of any right hereunder or be deemed to be a waiver of any such right.
(j) The parties acknowledge and agree that the indemnification provisions provided in ARTICLE X are separate and discrete obligations of the parties and shall have no impact whatsoever on the indemnification provisions in this ARTICLE XIII.
Article XIV

14.4 Survival. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, and liability for the breach of any obligations contained herein or therein, shall survive the execution of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect.
14.5 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights and the persons entitled to indemnification hereunder, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement; provide, however, Investor may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to one or more of its Affiliates at any time without the consent of the other parties (it being understood that such transfer or assignment will not relieve Investor of any of its obligations hereunder).
14.6 Termination.
(a) This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing:
(i) by either of JDSU or Issuer, in its sole discretion, upon written notice to Investor;
(ii) upon the mutual written agreement of JDSU and Investor;
(iii) by JDSU or Investor if any governmental authority shall have issued or granted an order that has the effect of making any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
(iv) by JDSU or Investor if the Closing shall not have occurred by the Outside Date; or
(v) by JDSU if it desires to initiate negotiations in relation to, or enters into an agreement or arrangement with respect to, an Alternative Transaction.
(b) Any proper and valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.6(a) shall be effective immediately upon the delivery of a written notice from the terminating party to JDSU or the Investor (as the case may be). In the event of termination of this Agreement, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no further force or effect whatsoever and there shall be no liability to any Person by reason of this Agreement on the part of any party to this Agreement, or any of any such party’s officers, directors and representatives shall have any liability; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any party to this Agreement from any liability resulting from or arising out of any fraud or willful misconduct; and provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of Section 12.2, Section 12.4, and Article I, Article XIII and Article XIV shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
32
(c) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by JDSU or Issuer under Section 14.6(a)(i) or JDSU or Investor under Section 14.6(a)(iv) (unless, in the case of Section 14.6(a)(iv), the cause for the failure for the Closing to occur by the Outside Date is due to an act or omission of Investor), then JDSU shall promptly pay the Reimbursement Amount in cash to a bank account designated by Investor in writing to JDSU.
(d) In the event this Agreement is terminated by JDSU under Section 14.6(a)(v), then JDSU shall promptly pay $1,750,000 in cash to a bank account designated by Investor in writing to JDSU. In addition to the foregoing, if (i) this Agreement is terminated by JDSU under Section 14.6(a)(i) or under Section 14.6(a)(iv); provided that, with respect to a termination under Section 14.6(a)(iv), the cause for the failure for the Closing to occur by the Outside Date is due to an act or omission of JDSU or any of its Affiliates, and (ii) an Alternative Transaction is consummated within 18 months of the termination date of this Agreement, then JDSU shall be obligated to promptly pay to Investor in cash to a bank account designated by Investor in writing to JDSU the sum of $1,750,000 less the portion of the Reimbursement Amount paid to Investor in accordance with this Agreement. Even if the actual damages suffered by Investor due to the termination of this Agreement is less than the foregoing amounts, JDSU agrees not to assert any objection regarding the payment of the foregoing amounts and agrees that the foregoing amounts are reasonable in light of the facts and circumstances.
14.7 Force Majeure. No party (or any Person acting on its behalf) shall have any liability or responsibility for failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) under this Agreement or, unless otherwise expressly provided therein, any other Transaction Document, so long as and to the extent to which the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. A party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event, (a) notify the other parties of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition and (b) use due diligence to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement or the applicable other Transaction Document as soon as feasible.
For purposes of this Section 14.7, a “Force Majeure” shall mean any act or event, whether foreseen or unforeseen, that (i) prevents a party (the “Nonperforming Party”), in whole or in part, from (A) actually performing its obligations under this Agreement, or (B) satisfying any conditions to the other party’s obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) is beyond the reasonable control of and not the fault of the Nonperforming Party, and (iii) the Nonperforming Party has been unable to avoid or overcome by the exercise of due diligence. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of the following acts or events is deemed to meet the requirements of a Force Majeure: war, flood, lightning, drought, earthquake, fire, volcanic eruption, landslide, hurricane, cyclone, typhoon, tornado, explosion, civil disturbance, act of God or the public enemy, terrorist act, military action, epidemic, famine or plague, or nuclear contamination.
14.8 Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document given under this Agreement by a party shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been duly given: (i) when received if given in person, (ii) on the date of transmission if sent by facsimile, e-mail or other wire transmission (so long as the recipient acknowledges receipt of the message by reply email or other form of written communication); or (iii) three Business Days after it is mailed (if the recipient’s address for the notice is in the same country as the place of mailing, otherwise seven Business Days after it is mailed) by certified or registered first class mail (airmail, if overseas) postage prepaid and return receipt requested, or if sent by express delivery service (receipt requested) on the date received by the addressee, to the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this section):

The sale of the securities which are the subject of this agreement has not been qualified with the commissioner of corporations of the state of California and the issuance of such securities or the payment or receipt of any part of the consideration therefor prior to such qualification is unlawful, unless the sale of securities is exempt from qualification by sections 25100, 25102, or 25105 of the California Corporations Code.

35
14.13 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then such provision(s) shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision(s) were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
14.14 Expenses. Except as provided in Section 14.6 with respect to the payment of the Reimbursement Amount, the parties shall each bear their respective expenses and legal fees incurred in connection with the negotiation and consummation of this Agreement. JDSU, Issuer and/or Holdings shall be responsible for any U.S federal and California or Delaware state taxes arising from the transfer or issuance to Investor of the Shares, the Conversion Shares or the Exchange Shares, as applicable.
14.15 Delays or Omissions.
