Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Second Supplemental Agreement to the Pre-Paid Purchase Agreement

 

On July 20, 2022, Canoo Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Pre-Paid Advance Agreement (“the PPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”). In accordance with the terms of the PPA, the Company may request advances of up to $50,000,000 in cash from Yorkville (or such greater amount that the parties may mutually agree).

 

On November 9, 2022, the Company entered into a Supplemental Agreement (the “First Supplemental Agreement”) with Yorkville to the PPA, pursuant to which Yorkville agreed to advance $21,300,00 (the “First Supplemental Advance”) to the Company and waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the PPA. The First Supplemental Agreement remains in full force and effect with respect to the First Supplemental Advance. As of December 31, 2022, $21,300,000 remained outstanding under the First Supplemental Advance.

 

On December 31, 2022, the Company entered into a Second Supplemental Agreement (the “Second Supplemental Agreement” and, together with the First Supplemental Agreement, the “Supplemental Agreements”) with Yorkville to the PPA. Pursuant to the Second Supplemental Agreement, Yorkville agreed to advance $34,045,500 to the Company (the “Second Supplemental Advance”) and waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the PPA with respect to such Supplemental Advance, including the requirement that the Company shall have the capacity to issue shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) with a market value equal to at least 150% of the Supplemental Advance without breaching the Exchange Cap (as defined in the PPA). The Second Supplemental Advance amount may, at the sole option of Yorkville, be increased by up to an additional $8,514,500 (the “Option”). Such Option may be exercised by Yorkville through January 31, 2023, which if exercised shall be subject to the same terms as the initial Second Supplemental Advance. After giving effect to the commitment fee and the purchase price discount provided for in the PPA, net proceeds of the Second Supplemental Advance to the Company will be $32,000,000.

 

Both of the Supplemental Agreements require that the Company call and hold an annual or special meeting of its stockholders on or before February 1, 2023 for the purposes of: (i) obtaining the consent of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) for the issuance of all shares of its Common Stock that have been, and could be, issued pursuant to the PPA (including pursuant to the Supplemental Agreements) and (ii) obtaining the consent of the stockholders to amend the PPA to provide for a Floor Price (as defined in the PPA) of $0.50 per share (for each of (i) and (ii), the “Stockholder Approval”). A meeting for the purpose of obtaining the Stockholder Approval has been scheduled for January 24, 2023.

 

The Second Supplemental Agreement provides that solely with respect to the Second Supplemental Advance, the Purchase Price (as such term is used in the PPA) will be equal to the lower of (a) $1.35 per share (i.e., a price per share equal to 110% of the volume-weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Pre-Advance Date of the Second Supplemental Advance) (the “Fixed Price”), or (b) 95% of the lowest daily VWAP during five Trading Days immediately preceding each Purchase Notice Date, but not lower than the Floor Price (as defined in the PPA). Further, the Company agreed to pay Yorkville a commitment fee of $1,705,045 (or up to an additional $425,725 if the Option is exercised in full by Yorkville) in connection with the Second Supplemental Agreement, which shall be deducted from the proceeds of the Second Supplemental Advance.

 

The Second Supplemental Agreement also terminates that certain letter agreement, entered into between the Company and Yorkville on October 5, 2022 (the “Letter Agreement”) which had permitted the Company to continue conducting certain “at-the-market” offerings while balances remained outstanding under the PPA and First Supplemental Agreement.

 

Solely with respect to the Second Supplemental Advance upon (a) an Event of Default (as defined in the PPA), (b) any failure by the Company to observe or perform any material covenant, agreement or warranty contained in (i) the PPA, (ii) the Letter Agreement, (iii) the First Supplemental Agreement, (iv) the Second Supplemental Agreement, or (v) any other agreement between the parties or (c) if, any time after February 1, 2023, and from time to time thereafter, (i) the VWAP is less than the Floor Price for at least five (5) Trading Days during a period of seven (7) consecutive Trading Days, or (ii) the Company has issued substantially all of the Common Shares available under the Exchange Cap (the last such day of each such occurrence, a “Triggering Date”), then the Company shall repay the full unpaid principal amount outstanding under the Second Supplemental Advance, plus the Redemption Premium in respect of such amount, and all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Second Supplemental Advance on the tenth (10th) calendar day after the Triggering Date.

 

 

 

 

The foregoing description of the Second Supplemental Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Supplemental Agreement, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and which is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the Second Supplemental Agreement, the Company issued to Yorkville a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase an aggregate of 29,604,783 shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an exercise price of $1.15 per share. The Warrant is immediately exercisable and expires on December 31, 2023.

 

The Warrant includes anti-dilution protection pursuant to which the the exercise price of the Warrant will be lowered in the event the Company issues Common Stock or related securities at a price less than the Warrant’s per share exercise price then-in effect.

Item 8.01Other Events.

 

In connection with the Supplemental Agreements, on January 4, 2023, the Company entered into voting agreements (collectively, the “Voting Agreements”) with certain Company stockholders, including Tony Aquila, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and certain entities affiliated with Mr. Aquila.

For purposes of the foregoing proviso, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such proviso is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised Warrants beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or preferred stock) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock a holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of any holder, the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day following the receipt of such notice, confirm in writing to any such holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the exercise of Warrants (as defined below) by such holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.

In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in compliance with this Section 2, the Company shall on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) and the receipt of the representations of the holder specified in Section 6 hereof, if requested by the Company (the “Exercise Delivery Documents”), and if the Common Stock is DTC eligible, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled to the holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company; provided, however, if the holder who submitted the Exercise Notice requested physical delivery of any or all of the Warrant Shares, or, if the Common Stock is not DTC eligible then the Company shall, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the holder, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled pursuant to such request. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above the holder of this Warrant shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised.

The Company shall cause the investment banking firm or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than forty-eight (48) hours from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment banking firm’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(c)    Unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to this Warrant exercised except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such Warrant is exercised.

 

(d)    No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon any pro rata exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.

 

5

 

 

(e)    If the Company or its Transfer Agent shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the holder within ten (10) days of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares to which the holder is entitled or to credit the holder’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company for such number of Warrant Shares to which the holder is entitled upon the holder’s exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies under this Warrant, have any other remedies otherwise available to such holder.

 

(f)     If within ten (10) days after the Company’s receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Company fails to deliver a new Warrant to the holder for the number of Warrant Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2 hereof, then, in addition to any other available remedies under this Warrant, have any other remedies otherwise available to such holder.

 

Section 3.               Covenants as to Common Stock. The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

 

(a)   This Warrant is, and any Warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, duly authorized and validly issued.

 

(b)   All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

 

(c)   During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved at least one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant and the par value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Warrant Exercise Price. If at any time the Company does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available, then the Company shall call and hold a special meeting of its stockholders within sixty (60) days of that time for the sole purpose of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.

 

(d)   If at any time after the date hereof the Company shall file a registration statement (other than a registration statement on Form S-4, S-8 or for which the underwriter for such offering refuses in writing to include the Warrant Shares), the Company shall include the Warrant Shares issuable to the holder, pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Warrant Shares from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange or automated quotation system.

 

(e)   The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action (it being understood that filing a Certificate of Designation or implementing a reverse split are not intended to be included in this provision), avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant. The Company will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(f)            This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

 

Section 4.                Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes, except any applicable withholding, which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

Section 5.                Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant Shares which he or she is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 5, the Company will provide the holder of this Warrant with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.

 

Section 6.               Representations of Holder. The holder of this Warrant, by the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. The holder of this Warrant further represents, by acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, such holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”). Upon exercise of this Warrant the holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares so purchased are being acquired solely for the holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale and that such holder is an Accredited Investor. If such holder cannot make such representations because they would be factually incorrect, it shall be a condition to such holder’s exercise of this Warrant that the Company receive such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any United States or state securities laws.

 

7

 

 

Section 7.               Ownership and Transfer. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.

 

Section 8.               Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(a)    Adjustment for Additional Issuances. If the Company issues on one or more occasions any additional shares of Common Stock after the date hereof (excluding shares issued as stock split or combination as provided in Section 8(b) below) for consideration per share lower than the Warrant Exercise Price in effect on the date on the date of the issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Exercise Price shall be lowered to equal such consideration per share (for purposes of this clause, any Additional Shares of Common Stock issued for no consideration shall be deemed to be issued for a consideration per share of $0.001), subject to adjustments for Common Stock splits, dividends and combinations.

 

(b)   Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 8(c) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

8

 

 

(c)   Distribution of Assets. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:

 

(i)             any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (B) the denominator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date; and

 

(ii)            either (A) the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i), or (B) in the event that the Distribution is of common stock of a company whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the holder of this Warrant shall receive an additional warrant to purchase Common Stock, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the amount of the assets that would have been payable to the holder of this Warrant pursuant to the Distribution had the holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an exercise price equal to the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i).

 

(d)   Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 9 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features other than to employees, officers, directors or consultants as compensation), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Warrants; provided, except as set forth in section 9(a), that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 9(c) will increase the Warrant Exercise Price or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 9.

 

(e)    Notices.

 

(i)             Immediately upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Company will give written notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment.

 

9

 

 

(ii)            The Company will give written notice to the holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change (as defined below), dissolution or liquidation, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such holder.

 

(iii)           The Company will also give written notice to the holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation will take place, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such holder.

 

Section 9.                Purchase Rights; Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

 

(a)    In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 9 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the holder of this Warrant will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights. In the event the holder of this Warrant does not exercise any part of this Warrant, the Purchase Rights allocable to such unexercised portion of the Warrant shall be automatically canceled.

 

(b)   Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or other transaction in each case which is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as an “Organic Change.” Prior to the consummation of any (i) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an acquiring Person or (ii) other Organic Change following which the Company is not a surviving entity, the Company will secure from the Person purchasing such assets or the successor resulting from such Organic Change (in each case, the “Acquiring Entity”) a written agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing at least two-thirds of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants, a security of the Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and reasonably satisfactory to the holders of the Warrants (including an adjusted warrant exercise price equal to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of the Warrants without regard to any limitations on exercise, if the value so reflected is less than any Applicable Warrant Exercise Price immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale). Prior to the consummation of any other Organic Change, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to insure that each of the holders of the Warrants will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder’s Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercise), such shares of stock, securities or assets that would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares which would have been issuable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder’s Warrant as of the date of such Organic Change (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant).

RECITALS

 

A.                 On November 9, 2022, the parties entered into a Supplemental Agreement (the “November Supplemental Agreement”) pursuant to which the Investor agreed to advance $21,300,00 (the “Third Pre-Paid Advance”) to the Company.

 

B.                  Prior to or concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company has entered into an additional Supplemental Agreement (the “December Supplemental Agreement”), providing for, among other things, a Pre-Paid Advance in the amount of $34,045,500 (the “Fourth Pre-Paid Advance”).

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

For the avoidance of doubt, “Beneficially Own” and “Beneficial Ownership” shall also include record ownership of securities.

 

(b)                Beneficial Owner” shall mean the Person who Beneficially Owns the referenced securities.

(c)                Power and Authority; Binding Agreement. If the Stockholder is an individual, the Stockholder has full power and authority and legal capacity to enter into, execute, and deliver this Agreement and to perform fully the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder (including the proxy described in Section 3(b) below). If the Stockholder is not an individual, the Stockholder has requisite organizational power and authority to enter into, execute, and deliver this Agreement and to perform fully the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder (including the proxy described in Section 3(b) below) This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms.

 

(d)                No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the compliance with the provisions hereof will not, conflict with or violate any law applicable to the Stockholder or result in any breach of or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration, or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any Lien on any of the Shares attributable to the Stockholder pursuant to, any agreement or other instrument or obligation binding upon the Stockholder or any of the Shares attributable to the Stockholder.

 

(e)                No Consents.

There is no action, suit, investigation, or proceeding (whether judicial, arbitral, administrative, or other) pending against, or, to the knowledge of the Stockholder, threatened against or affecting, the Stockholder that could reasonably be expected to materially impair or materially adversely affect the ability of the Stockholder to perform the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on a timely basis.

The Stockholder shall take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy.

6.                   Additional Shares. The Stockholder agrees that all shares of Common Stock that the Stockholder purchases, acquires the right to vote, or otherwise acquires Beneficial Ownership of, after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Time shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall constitute Shares for all purposes of this Agreement. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares, or the like of the capital stock of the Company affecting the Shares, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities and such resulting securities shall be deemed to be “Shares” for all purposes of this Agreement.

 

7.                   Termination.

9.                   Further Assurances. The Stockholder agrees, from time to time, and without additional consideration, to execute and deliver such additional proxies, documents, and other instruments and to take all such further action as the Company may reasonably request to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

10.               Stop Transfer Instructions. At all times commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the Expiration Time, in furtherance of this Agreement, the Stockholder hereby authorizes the Company or its counsel to notify the Company’s transfer agent that there is a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Shares (and that this Agreement places limits on the voting and transfer of the Shares), subject to the provisions hereof and provided that any such stop transfer order and notice will immediately be withdrawn and terminated by the Company following the Expiration Time.

 

11.               Specific Performance. Each Party hereto acknowledges that it will be impossible to measure in money the damage to the other Party if a Party hereto fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, that every such obligation is material and that, in the event of any such failure, the other Party will not have an adequate remedy at law or damages. Accordingly, each Party hereto agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, in addition to remedies at law or damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the seeking of such relief on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at law. Each Party hereto agrees that it will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with the other Party’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief.

 

12.               Amendment; Assignment. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Stockholder. No Party to this Agreement may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, except that the Company may assign, in its sole discretion, all or any of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to any of its “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 144) or to any party that acquires all of substantially all of the assets of the Company (whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise). Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Any assignment contrary to the provisions of this Section 12 shall be null and void.
