10. Call Option. Provided that there is no unremedied KPI Failure (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) with respect to any Additional Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Company shall have the right to require each holder of outstanding shares of Series BRN Preferred Stock to sell to the Company all (but not less than all) of its shares of Series BRN Preferred Stock (the “Call Option”) under the following terms and conditions:
10.1 At any time on or after the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Initial Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Company shall have the right to exercise the Call Option in the manner set forth in Section 10.3 below at a per share purchase price equal to an amount that would yield a twenty percent (20%) internal rate of return on the original purchase price paid by such holder for the shares of Series BRN Preferred Stock subject to the Call Option (the “IRR Exercise Price”). For purposes hereof, “internal rate of return” means the discount rate at which the net present value of the Original Issue Price (as defined in the Company Charter) of the Series BRN Preferred Stock is equal to the net present value of the purchase price to be paid upon exercise of the Call Option and all dividends paid with respect to a share of Series BRN Preferred from the original date of issuance and shall be calculated using the XIRR function in the most recent version of Microsoft Excel (or if such program is no longer available, such other software program for calculating IRR reasonably proposed by the Company).

(b) breaches any of its material obligations under the Financing Agreements (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (including, for example, failing to assign ownership of any inventions made within the Project Company to the Company or failing to convert its shares of Series BRN Preferred Stock in accordance with the Company Charter), which breach remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after such breach and provided, however, that the Company is not then itself in breach of its obligations under the applicable Financing Agreement(s);
the Company shall have the right to exercise the Call Option at any time within two (2) months of such failure to purchase or breach (provided that such two (2) month period shall commence on the date of delivery of written notice of such breach) with respect to all of the shares of Series BRN Preferred Stock held by such holder as of immediately prior to such failure to purchase or breach or as of the date of the Exercise Notice (whichever is greater), at a per share purchase price of $6.00 (as adjusted for all stock splits, dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like affecting the Series BRN Preferred Stock) (the “Minimum Exercise Price” and together with the IRR Exercise Price, the “Exercise Price”).
10.3 If, at any time after the Initial Closing Date, a statute, rule, regulation, order, or interpretation shall have been enacted, entered or deemed applicable by any domestic or foreign government or governmental or administrative agency or court which would make the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or the other Financing Agreements illegal and each of the conditions to the obligations of RUSNANO and any Co-Investor set forth in Sections 4.2(a), (b), (c) and (d) of the Purchase Agreement, if applicable, have been satisfied, the Company shall have the right to exercise the Call Option in the manner set forth in Section 10.4 below at a per share purchase price equal to the Minimum Exercise Price
10.4 The Call Option shall be exercisable by the Company only by delivery of a written exercise notice stating the applicable Exercise Price (the “Exercise Notice”) to the holders of the Series BRN Preferred Stock. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice, the holders of the Series BRN Preferred Stock shall be obligated to sell all but not less than all of their shares of Series BRN Preferred Stock (and to promptly deliver any certificates representing the same, duly endorsed or accompanied by an executed stock power) to the Company, and the Company shall be obligated to purchase such shares from the holders of the Series BRN Preferred Stock, in the manner and at the price contemplated in this Section 10. On a date (the “Settlement Date”) that is within ten (10) business days after receipt of an Exercise Notice, the Company shall pay to the relevant holder the applicable Exercise Price determined in accordance with Sections 10.1, 10.2 or 10.3. Such payment may be effected in cash or by certified or official bank check or wire transfer to an account designated by the holders of the Series BRN Preferred Stock in writing.
11. Series BRN Preferred Stock Voting Right. For so long as RUSNANO (or a controlled affiliate that is a permitted transferee pursuant to Section 8.3) owns of record and beneficially all of the shares of Series BRN Preferred Stock purchased by RUSNANO under the Purchase Agreement, with respect to any action or failure to act which would require the consent, affirmative vote, waiver, approval or execution of any instrument or agreement by the
