Earnings Call for Fiscal Year 2023

 

Tritium DCFC Limited (“Tritium” or the “Company”) today announced that it will host a conference call on September 21, 2023 at 10:30 am Eastern time to discuss the Company’s financial and operating results for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. The Company will issue a press release with earnings results ahead of the conference call.

An archive of the webcast will be available on the Company’s website after the call.

 

Preference Share Offering

 

Tritium DCFC Limited (“Tritium” or the “Company”) today announced that it executed a securities purchase agreement (as amended, the “SPA”), dated September 12, 2023, to raise gross proceeds of up to $75 million in multiple potential registered direct offerings to one or more accredited institutional investors of the Company’s Series A Convertible Redeemable Preference Shares (“Preference Shares”), which are convertible into the Company’s ordinary shares, no par value (“Ordinary Shares”). The initial round of funding in the offering is expected to close in connection with the filing of the Company’s Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 (“Initial Closing”), subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions as described further in the SPA. The Initial Closing is expected to result in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $25 million before accounting for fees and expenses of the offering. Subsequent closings under the SPA, up to an aggregate total of $75 million for all closings under the SPA, may occur at the Company’s option subject to certain conditions described further in the SPA.

 

The Preference Shares are to be offered in a registered direct offering with an initial conversion price of $0.815 per share, subject to adjustment, which represents a 20% premium to the daily VWAP of the Ordinary Shares on September 15, 2023. As described in the SPA and the Schedule of Terms of the Preference Shares (the “Schedule of Terms”), certain conditions may result in an alternate conversion price being used to determine the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preference Shares, with such alternate conversion price being based on a discount to the prevailing price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, as described further in the Schedule of Terms. Generally, the Preference Shares do not have a dividend, but do require periodic installment payments to be made, which can be made in the form of the Company’s Ordinary Shares or cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s ability to settle conversions and make installment payments using Ordinary Shares is subject to certain limitations set forth in the Schedule of Terms. Further, the Schedule of Terms contains a beneficial ownership limitation after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of, or as part of any installment payment under, the Schedule of Terms. The Preference Shares are not transferrable by the holder without the consent of the Company. The Preference Shares may be prepaid by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Schedule of Terms. The Company will be subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, acquisition and investment transactions, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness, the payment of cash in respect of dividends, distributions or redemptions, and the transfer of assets, among other matters while there are Preference Shares issued and outstanding.

 

The Company expects to use the net proceeds of the initial round of funding for general corporate purposes.

 

The Company engaged Alliance Global Partners to serve as placement agent to the Company in connection with the offering.

 

The securities described above are being offered and sold by Tritium in a registered direct offering pursuant to an effective “shelf” registration statement on Form F-3 (Registration No. 333-270438), including a base prospectus previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The offering of such securities is being made only by means of a prospectus supplement, expected to be filed with the SEC on or prior to the Initial Closing, that will form a part of the registration statement. A final prospectus supplement and base prospectus relating to the registered direct offering will be filed with the SEC and will be available on the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov.

 

 

 

There is no established public trading market for the Preference Shares and the Company does not intend to list the Preference Shares on any national securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Schedule of Terms and SPA do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of the Schedule of Terms, which is included as Exhibit 4.1 hereto, and SPA, which is included as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto, are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Amendment No. 2 to Warrant Agreement

On September 12, 2023, concurrently with entry into the SPA, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Warrant Agreement Amendment”) to the Warrant Agreement, pursuant to which (i) the Warrants (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) vested and became immediately exercisable on September 12, 2023; (ii) the exercise price of the Warrants outstanding was fixed at the price at $0.68 per share; and (iii) each Registered Holder (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) agreed to exercise all outstanding Warrants held by such holder immediately upon effectiveness of the Warrant Agreement Amendment or soon thereafter. The Registered Holders delivered the required notice (the “Notice”) to the Warrant Agent pursuant to the Warrant Agreement Amendment.

Termination of the B. Riley Facility

 

As previously disclosed, on September 2, 2022, the Company entered into an Ordinary Shares Purchase Agreement (the “B. Riley Facility”) with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC (“B. Riley”). Pursuant to the B. Riley Facility, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the B. Riley Facility, the Company had the right to sell to B. Riley up to $75 million in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued Ordinary Shares, from time to time during the term of the B. Riley Facility. Under the B. Riley Facility, the Company issued and sold a total of 1,631,302 Ordinary Shares. On September 11, 2023, the Company terminated the B. Riley Facility, effective immediately.

 

The sections titled “Preference Share Offering,” “Amendment No. 2 to Warrant Agreement” and “Termination of the B. Riley Facility” in this Report, including the exhibits hereto, are incorporated by reference into the Company’s registration statements on Form F-3 (File Nos. 333-270436, 333-270437 and 333-270438), filed with the SEC, to be a part thereof from the date on which this report is submitted, to the extent not superseded by documents or reports subsequently filed or furnished.

Exhibit 4.1

 

Schedule of terms OF
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE redeemable PREFERENCE Shares OF
Tritium DCFC Limited

 

1.Designation and Number of Shares. There shall hereby be created and established a series of convertible redeemable preference shares of the Company designated as “Series A Convertible Redeemable Preference Shares” (the “Preference Shares”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in Section 33 below. The Preference Shares are a separate class of share in the capital of the Company. In addition to the rights, privileges, and conditions conferred on the Holder of a Preference Share pursuant to the Schedule of the Constitution, each Preference Share issued by the Company confers on the Holder of the Preference Share those rights, privileges, and conditions set out in this Schedule of Terms. The Company must ensure that all shares to be issued pursuant to this Schedule of Terms (including all shares to be issued upon or in connection with the redemption or conversion of any Preference Shares) are validly issued, fully paid and have no money owing in respect of them and free from all preemptive or similar rights, mortgages, defects, claims, liens, pledges, charges, taxes, rights of first refusal, encumbrances, security interests and other encumbrances and any third party rights.

 

2.Ranking. The Ordinary Shares shall be junior and subordinate in rank to all Preference Shares with respect to any dividends, distributions and payments in each case upon or in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (such junior and subordinate shares are referred to herein collectively as “Junior Shares”). To avoid doubt, after any amounts outstanding to the Holders of the Preference Shares under or in connection with this Schedule of Terms and the Transaction Documents have been paid to those Holders, any remaining funds and assets of the Company available for distribution to shareholders shall be distributed pro rata among the holders of Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Company’s Constitution, and the Preference Shares shall not confer upon the Holders any further right to participate in the surplus assets of the Company.

 

3.Payments.

 

(a)Additional Amounts. The Preference Shares shall not be entitled to any dividends. However, (i) from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Triggering Event, an amount shall accrue on the Stated Value of each Preference Share at fifteen percent (15.0%) per annum (the “Default Rate”) and (ii) an amount shall accrue on any Blocked Payment (as defined in Section 34 below) at the Default Rate (any amounts accrued pursuant to (i) and (ii), an “Additional Amount”). Any Additional Amount shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months. Additional Amounts shall be included in the Conversion Amount or Installment Amount on each Conversion Date or Installment Date, as applicable, or upon any redemption in accordance with Section 12 or any required payment upon any Triggering Event. Any applicable Additional Amount shall cease to accrue upon the redemption or conversion of the relevant Preference Shares into Ordinary Shares.

 

[Signature Page to Schedule of Terms]

 

 

 

(b)Prepayment. At any time on or after the Initial Issuance Date, the Company may, subject to applicable laws including the Corporations Act and only to the extent it is permitted to do so under any Lender Restrictions, at its option, redeem all outstanding Preference Shares by delivering written notice thereof (a “Prepayment Notice”) to each Holder at least twenty (20) Trading Days prior to such redemption. Each Preference Share subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall subject to applicable laws including the Corporations Act and only to the extent it is permitted to do so under any Lender Restrictions be: (i) paid by the Company in cash at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (x) the Prepayment Premium multiplied by (y) the Stated Value of the Preference Shares and (ii) the product of (X) the Conversion Rate (calculated assuming an Alternate Conversion Price as of the date of the Prepayment Notice) with respect to the outstanding Conversion Amount at such time as the Company delivers the Prepayment Notice multiplied by (Y) the product of (1) the Prepayment Premium multiplied by (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Ordinary Shares on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding the date of the Prepayment Notice and ending on the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made under this Section 3(b) (the “Prepayment Amount”); provided, however, the Holder, at its sole option, may convert the Prepayment Amount into Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 9 (with “Alternate Conversion Price” replacing “Installment Conversion Price” for all purposes hereunder). In the event of the Company’s redemption or conversion of any of the Preference Shares under this Section 3(b), such Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for a Holder. Accordingly, any Prepayment Premium due under this Section 3(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of such Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. Prepayments pursuant to this Section 3 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.

 

4.Conversion. At any time after the Initial Issuance Date, each Preference Share shall be convertible (by way of variation of rights, and not by way of redemption, cancellation, or a new issue or allotment) into fully paid Ordinary Shares (as defined below), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.

 

(a)Holder’s Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(d), at any time or times on or after the Initial Issuance Date, each Holder shall be entitled to convert any of the Preference Shares held by such Holder into fully paid Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section 4(c) at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company shall not issue any fraction of an Ordinary Share upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of an Ordinary Share, the Company shall round such fraction of an Ordinary Shares up to the nearest whole share.

 

(b)Conversion Rate. The number of Ordinary Shares to be issued by the Company upon conversion of any Preference Share pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) the Conversion Amount of such Preference Share by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”):

 

2

 

 

(i)Conversion Amount” means, with respect to each Preference Share, as of the applicable date of determination, the sum of the Stated Value thereof plus any accrued and unpaid Late Charges (as defined below in Section 26(c)) and any other amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to the terms of this Schedule of Terms, including any Outstanding Floor Amount, Additional Amounts (if any), the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document with respect to such Stated Value as of such date of determination.

 

(ii)Conversion Price” means, with respect to each Preference Share, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, $0.815, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

(c)Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of each Preference Share into Ordinary Shares shall be conducted in the following manner:

 

(i)Optional Conversion. To convert a Preference Share into Ordinary Shares on any date (a “Conversion Date”), a Holder shall deliver (whether via electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion of the share(s) of Preference Shares subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company. If required by Section 4(c)(iii), within two (2) Trading Days following a conversion of any such Preference Shares as aforesaid, such Holder shall surrender to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company the original certificates, if any, representing the Preference Shares (the “Preference Share Certificates”) so converted as aforesaid (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to the Preference Shares in the case of its loss, theft or destruction as contemplated by Section 20(b)). On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, (x) with respect to an Acceleration or an Alternate Conversion, if the applicable Alternate Conversion Price or Acceleration Conversion Price (as applicable) is less than the ”alternate conversion price” or “acceleration conversion price” specified on such Conversion Notice, the Holder may deliver an updated Conversion Notice to the Company correcting the Alternate Conversion Price or Acceleration Conversion Price, as applicable (and aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to be issued) as specified in such Conversion Notice (provided, that if such updated Conversion Notice is not delivered to the Company on or prior to 10:00am, New York time on the Trading Day immediately following the applicable Conversion Date, the applicable Share Delivery Deadline shall be extended by one (1) Trading Day and (y) the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following each date on which the Company has received a Conversion Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated on the applicable Conversion Date of such Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to such Conversion Notice) (the “Share Delivery Deadline”), the Company shall (1) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”), credit such aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion to such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, upon the request of such Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in such Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of such Holder or its designee, for the number of Ordinary Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled. If the number of Preference Shares represented by the Preference Share Certificate(s) submitted for conversion pursuant to Section 4(c)(iii) is greater than the number of Preference Shares being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than two (2) Trading Days after receipt of the Preference Share Certificate(s) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a new Preference Share Certificate or a new Book-Entry (in either case, accordance with Section 20(d)) representing the number of Preference Shares not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares upon a conversion of Preference Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Ordinary Shares on the Conversion Date. In connection with any conversion of Preference Shares by a Holder, the number of Preference Shares converted by such Holder shall be deducted from the Installment Amount(s) of such Holder relating to the Installment Date(s) as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice (as calculated in accordance with the Transaction Documents), provided that (1) if no such Installment Date is specified in the applicable Conversion Notice then the Holder shall be deemed to have requested that the Preference Shares converted be deducted from the Installment Amount(s) of such Holder relating to the last Installment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder delivers a Conversion Notice to the Company prior to the date of issuance of Preference Shares to such Holder, whereby such Holder elects to convert such Preference Shares pursuant to such Conversion Notice, the Share Delivery Deadline with respect to any such Conversion Notice shall be the later of (x) the date of issuance of such Preference Shares and (y) the second (2nd) Trading Day after the date of such Conversion Notice and (2) with respect to any Conversion Notice delivered by a Buyer (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) to the Company on or prior to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of initial issuance of such applicable Preference Shares to be converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice (each, an “Issuance Date”), which may be delivered at any time after the time of execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agrees to deliver the Ordinary Shares convertible upon conversion of such Preference Shares to be issued on such date subject to such notice(s) by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such applicable Issuance Date and such Issuance Date shall be the Share Delivery Date for purposes hereunder with respect to such Conversion Notice.

(ii)Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Deadline, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, to issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a certificate for the number of Ordinary Shares to which such Holder is entitled and register such Ordinary Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for such number of Ordinary Shares to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of Preference Shares in any Conversion Amount (as the case may be) (a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, (Y) such Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, all, or any portion, of such Preference Shares that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 4(c)(ii) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a certificate and register such Ordinary Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Ordinary Shares to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below, and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline such Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) Ordinary Shares corresponding to all or any portion of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion that such Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Conversion Failure (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, the Company shall, subject to applicable laws including the Corporations Act and only to the extent it is permitted to do so under Lender Restrictions, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Holder’s request and in such Holder’s discretion, either: (I) make an election to receive a payment under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, or (II) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to such Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Ordinary Shares or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Ordinary Shares to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay an amount set out in the Securities Purchase Agreement applicable to such circumstance. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver (if required) certificates representing Ordinary Shares (or to electronically deliver such Ordinary Shares) upon the conversion of the Preference Shares as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any given Conversion Failure, this Section 4(c)(ii) shall not apply to a Holder to the extent the Company has already paid such amounts in full to such Holder with respect to such Conversion Failure, as applicable, pursuant to the analogous sections of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

(iii)Registration; Book-Entry. At the time of issue of any Preference Shares, the applicable Holder will have their entitlement to the relevant number of Preference Shares documented in Book-Entry form in accordance with the Corporations Act and the Constitution. The Company (or the Transfer Agent, as custodian for the Preference Shares) shall maintain a register of members (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Holders of each Preference Share and the Stated Value of the Preference Shares in accordance with the Corporations Act (the “Registered Preference Shares”). Subject to Section 19 and compliance with the terms of the Constitution (including rule 4), a Registered Preference Share may be assigned, transferred or sold only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a written request to assign, transfer or sell one or more Registered Preference Shares by such Holder thereof, the Company shall, subject to Section 19 and the terms of the Constitution (including rule 4), document the assignment, transfer, or sale to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 20 in the Register. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4, following conversion of any Preference Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, the applicable Holder shall not be required to physically surrender such Preference Shares held in the form of a Preference Share Certificate to the Company unless (A) the full or remaining number of Preference Shares represented by the applicable Preference Share Certificate are being converted (in which event such certificate(s) shall be delivered to the Company as contemplated by this Section 4(c)(iii)) or (B) such Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of a new Preference Share Certificate upon physical surrender of the applicable Preference Share Certificate. Each Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Stated Value and Late Charges converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of a Preference Share Certificate upon conversion. A Holder and any transferee or assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Preference Shares, the number of Preference Shares represented by such certificate may be less than the number of Preference Shares stated on the face thereof. Each Preference Share Certificate shall bear the following legend:

 

ANY TRANSFEREE OR ASSIGNEE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE CORPORATION’S SCHEDULE OF TERMS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERENCE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 4(c)(iii) THEREOF. THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERENCE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS SCHEDULE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERENCE SHARES STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 4(c)(iii) OF THE SCHEDULE OF TERMS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERENCE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.

 

(iv)Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such Preference Shares submitted for conversion, the Company shall convert from each Holder electing to have Preference Shares converted on such date a pro rata amount of such Holder’s Preference Shares submitted for conversion on such date based on the number of Preference Shares submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the aggregate number of Preference Shares submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of Ordinary Shares issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Preference Shares, the Company shall issue to such Holder the number of Ordinary Shares not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 10(i) of the Securities Purchase Agreement. If a Conversion Notice delivered to the Company would result in a breach of Section 4(d) below or a breach of the Corporations Act Limitation, and the Holder does not elect in writing to withdraw, in whole, such Conversion Notice, the Company shall hold such Conversion Notice in abeyance until such time as such Conversion Notice may be satisfied without violating Section 4(d) below or the Corporations Act Limitation (with such calculations thereunder made as of the date such Conversion Notice was initially delivered to the Company).

(d)Limitation on Beneficial Ownership.

 

(i)Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect the conversion of any of the Preference Shares held by a Holder, and such Holder shall not have the right to convert any of the Preference Shares held by such Holder pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Schedule of Terms and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, such Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the outstanding Ordinary Shares immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares held by such Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preference Shares with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude Ordinary Shares which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted Preference Shares beneficially owned by such Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes, convertible preference stock or warrants, including the Preference Shares) beneficially owned by such Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 4(d)(i). For purposes of this Section 4(d)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares a Holder may acquire upon the conversion of such Preference Shares without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, such Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, Current Report on Form 6-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives a Conversion Notice from a Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding Ordinary Shares is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify such Holder in writing of the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause such Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 4(d)(i), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, such Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Ordinary Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Conversion Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of any Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to such Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including such Preference Shares, by such Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of Ordinary Shares to a Holder upon conversion of such Preference Shares results in such Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which such Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and such Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, any Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage of such Holder to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other Holder that is not an Attribution Party of such Holder. For purposes of clarity, the Ordinary Shares issuable to a Holder pursuant to the terms of this Schedule of Terms in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by such Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to convert such Preference Shares pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d)(i) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 4(d)(i) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of such Preference Shares.

(ii)Corporations Act Limitation. In addition to the Maximum Percentage, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not be required to convert any Preference Shares to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion, the aggregate number of securities in which the Holder (or any relevant designee or transferee) would have a “relevant interest” (as that term is defined in the Corporations Act) would exceed the maximum number of securities in which the Holder (or any relevant designee or transferee) may have a “relevant interest” (as that term is defined in the Corporations Act) without (i) violating Section 606 of the Corporations Act, or (ii) the Company obtaining shareholder approval under Item 7 of Section 611 of the Corporations Act (such maximum number of securities being the “Corporations Act Limitation”), unless and until the Company solicits shareholder approval of the conversion contemplated by this Schedule of Terms and the shareholders of the Company have in fact approved the conversions contemplated by this Schedule of Terms in accordance with the Corporations Act and the Constitution and other organizational documents, or another exception to the prohibitions in Section 606 of the Corporations Act is then applicable under Section 611 of the Corporations Act, as confirmed by the Company in writing, that permits the conversion of Preference Shares into Ordinary Shares in excess of the Corporations Act Limitation.

 

(e)Right of Alternate Conversion.

 

(i)Alternate Conversion Upon a Triggering Event or Senior LNSA Breach. Subject to Section 4(d), at any time during (1) a Triggering Event Redemption Right Period (as defined below), (2) a Senior LNSA Breach For ACP (which is not a Senior LNSA Breach For ACP arising from sub-paragraph (iii) of the definition of Senior LNSA Breach for ACP being satisfied) or (3) any other Outstanding Indebtedness Event for ACP, such Holder may, at such Holder’s option, by delivery of a Conversion Notice to the Company (the date of any such Conversion Notice, each an “Alternate Conversion Date”), convert all, or any number of Preference Shares (such Conversion Amount of the Preference Shares to be converted pursuant to this Section 4(e)(ii), each, an “Alternate Conversion Amount”) into Ordinary Shares at the Alternate Conversion Price (each an “Alternate Conversion”).

 

(ii)Mechanics of Alternate Conversion. On any Alternate Conversion Date, a Holder may voluntarily convert any Alternate Conversion Amount of Preference Shares pursuant to Section 4(c) (with “Alternate Conversion Price” replacing “Conversion Price” for all purposes hereunder with respect to such Alternate Conversion and with “Redemption Premium of the Conversion Amount” replacing “Conversion Amount” in clause (x) of the definition of Conversion Rate above with respect to such Alternate Conversion) by designating in the Conversion Notice delivered pursuant to this Section 4(e) of this Schedule of Terms that such Holder is electing to use the Alternate Conversion Price for such conversion; provided that in the event of the Conversion Floor Price Condition, on the applicable Alternate Conversion Date the Company shall (subject to applicable laws including the Corporations Act and only to the extent the Company is permitted to do so under any Lender Restrictions also deliver to the Holder the applicable Alternate Conversion Floor Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(e), but subject to Section 4(d), until the Company converts the applicable Preference Shares into Ordinary Shares representing the applicable Alternate Conversion Amount of Preference Shares to such Holder, such Preference Shares may be converted by such Holder into Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 4(c) without regard to this Section 4(e).

(b)Notice of a Triggering Event; Redemption Right. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event with respect to the Preference Shares, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail (with next day delivery specified) (an “Triggering Event Notice”) to each Holder. At any time after the earlier of a Holder’s receipt of a Triggering Event Notice and such Holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event (such earlier date, the “Triggering Event Right Commencement Date”) and ending (such ending date, the “Triggering Event Right Expiration Date”, and each such period, a “Triggering Event Redemption Right Period”) on the fifteenth (15th) Trading Day after the later of (x) the later of (1) the date such Triggering Event is cured and (2) the date the Company delivers written notice to the Holders of the cure of such Triggering Event and (y) such Holder’s receipt of a Triggering Event Notice that includes (I) a reasonable description of the applicable Triggering Event, (II) a certification as to whether, in the opinion of the Company, such Triggering Event is capable of being cured and, if applicable, a reasonable description of any existing plans of the Company to cure such Triggering Event and (III) a certification as to the date the Triggering Event occurred and, if cured on or prior to the date of such Triggering Event Notice, the applicable Triggering Event Right Expiration Date, such Holder may require the Company to redeem (regardless of whether such Triggering Event has been cured on or prior to the Triggering Event Right Expiration Date) all or any of the Preference Shares by delivering written notice thereof (the “Triggering Event Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Triggering Event Redemption Notice shall indicate the number of the Preference Shares such Holder is electing to redeem. Each of the Preference Shares subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall, subject to compliance by the Company with applicable law including the Corporations Act and only to the extent the Company is permitted to do so under any Lender Restrictions, be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount to be redeemed multiplied by (B) the Redemption Premium and (ii) the product of (X) the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount in effect at such time as such Holder delivers a Triggering Event Redemption Notice multiplied by (Y) the product of (1) the Redemption Premium multiplied by (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Ordinary Shares on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such Triggering Event and ending on the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made under this Section 5(b) (the “Triggering Event Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 5(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5(b), but subject to Section 4(d), until the Triggering Event Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 5(b) (together with any Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by such Holder into Ordinary Shares pursuant to the terms of this Schedule of Terms. In the event of a partial redemption of the Preference Shares held by a Holder pursuant hereto, the number of Preference Shares of such Holder redeemed shall be deducted from the Installment Amount(s) of such Holder relating to the applicable Installment Date(s) as set forth in the Triggering Event Redemption Notice including Section 4(e). In the event of the Company’s redemption of any of the Preference Shares under this Section 5(b), a Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for such Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 5(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of such Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. Any redemption upon a Triggering Event shall not constitute an election of remedies by the applicable Holder or any other Holder, and all other rights and remedies of each Holder shall be preserved.

 

12

 

 

(c)Mandatory Redemption upon Bankruptcy Triggering Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and notwithstanding any conversion that is then required or in process, upon any Bankruptcy Triggering Event, whether occurring prior to or following the Maturity Date, the Company shall, subject to compliance by the Company with applicable law including the Corporations Act and only to the extent the Company is permitted to do so under any Lender Restrictions, immediately redeem, out of funds legally available therefor, each of the Preference Shares then outstanding at a redemption price equal to the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price (calculated as if such Holder shall have delivered the Triggering Event Redemption Notice immediately prior to the occurrence of such Bankruptcy Triggering Event), without the requirement for any notice or demand or other action by any Holder or any other person or entity, provided that a Holder may, in its sole discretion, waive such right to receive payment upon a Bankruptcy Triggering Event, in whole or in part, and any such waiver shall not affect any other rights of such Holder or any other Holder hereunder, including any other rights in respect of such Bankruptcy Triggering Event, any right to conversion, and any right to payment of such Triggering Event Redemption Price or any other Redemption Price, as applicable.

 

(d)Redemption. Upon redemption, the relevant Preference Shares shall be cancelled.

 

6.Rights Upon Fundamental Transactions.

 

(a)Reserved.

 

(b)Notice of a Change of Control Redemption Right. For so long as there are Preference Shares on issue, no sooner than twenty (20) Trading Days nor later than ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control (the “Change of Control Date”), but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail to each Holder (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after a Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice or such Holder becoming aware of a Change of Control if a Change of Control Notice is not delivered to such Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence (as applicable) and ending on the later of (A) the date of consummation of such Change of Control or (B) twenty (20) Trading Days after the date of receipt of such Change of Control Notice or (C) twenty (20) Trading Days after the date of the announcement of such Change of Control, such Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of such Holder’s Preference Shares by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the number of Preference Shares such Holder is electing to have the Company redeem. Each Preference Share subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall, subject to compliance by the Company with applicable law including the Corporations Act and only to the extent it is permitted to do so under any Lender Restrictions, be paid by the Company in cash at a price equal to the product of (x) the Change of Control Redemption Premium multiplied by (y) the Conversion Amount of the Preference Shares being redeemed (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”); provided, however, the Holder, at its sole option, may convert all or part of the Change of Control Redemption Price into Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6(b), but subject to Section 4(d), until the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full to the applicable Holder, the Preference Shares submitted by such Holder for redemption under this Section 6(b) may be converted, in whole or in part, by such Holder into Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 4 or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of such Change of Control, stock or equity interests of the Successor Entity substantially equivalent to the Company’s Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 4. In the event of a partial redemption or conversion of the Preference Shares held by a Holder pursuant hereto, the number of Preference Shares of such Holder redeemed or converted shall be deducted from the Installment Amount(s) of such Holder relating to the applicable Installment Date(s) as set forth in the Change of Control Redemption Notice, provided that if no such Installment Date is specified in the applicable Change of Control Redemption Notice then the Holder shall be deemed to have requested that the Preference Shares redeemed or converted be deducted from the Installment Amount(s) of such Holder relating to the last Installment Date. In the event of the Company’s redemption or conversion of any of the Preference Shares under this Section 6(b), such Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for a Holder. Accordingly, any premium due under this Section 6(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of such Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. The Company shall make payment of the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if a Change of Control Redemption Notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within two (2) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise (the “Change of Control Redemption Date”). Redemptions required by this Section 6 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.

7.Reserved.

 

8.Rights Upon Issuance of Other Securities.

 

(a)Reserved.

 

(b)Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Ordinary Shares. Without limiting any provision of Sections 10(c), 10(d) and 10(e) of the Securities Purchase Agreement and Section 17 hereof, if the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding Ordinary Shares into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any provision of Sections 10(c), 10(d) and 10(e) of the Securities Purchase Agreement and Section 17 hereof, if the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 8(b) occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

 

(c)Holder’s Right of Adjusted Conversion Price. In addition to and not in limitation of the other provisions of this Section 8(b), if the Company in any manner issues or sells or enters into any agreement to issue or sell, any Ordinary Shares, Options or Convertible Securities after the Subscription Date that are issuable pursuant to such agreement or convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Ordinary Shares at a price which varies or may vary with the market price of the Ordinary Shares, including by way of one or more reset(s) to a fixed price (each of the formulations for such variable price being herein referred to as, the “Variable Price” and any such securities, “Variable Price Securities”), the Company shall provide written notice thereof via electronic mail to each Holder on the date of such agreement and/or the issuance of such Ordinary Shares, Convertible Securities or Options, as applicable. From and after the date the Company enters into such agreement or issues any such Variable Price Securities, each Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to substitute the Variable Price for the Conversion Price upon conversion of the Preference Shares by designating in the Conversion Notice delivered upon any conversion of Preference Shares that solely for purposes of such conversion such Holder is relying on the Variable Price rather than the Conversion Price then in effect. A Holder’s election to rely on a Variable Price for a particular conversion of Preference Shares shall not obligate such Holder to rely on a Variable Price for any future conversions of Preference Shares. In addition, from and after the date the Company enters into such agreement or issues any such Variable Price Securities, for purposes of calculating the Installment Conversion Price as of any time of determination, the “Conversion Price” as used therein shall mean the lower of (x) the Conversion Price, Installment Conversion Price, Acceleration Conversion Price and/or Alternate Conversion Price, as applicable, as of such time of determination and (y) the Variable Price as of such time of determination. This Section 8(c) shall not apply to the extent that the Company (i) effects or enters into an agreement to effect any Variable Rate Transaction if the effect of such transaction would be to redeem or otherwise cause any Preference Shares to no longer be outstanding from the proceeds of such transaction, or (ii) issues (or converts Indebtedness into) securities to Sunset Power Pty Ltd as Trustee of St Baker Family Trust (“St Baker”) and O-CORP EV LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“O-Corp”), or any of their respective affiliates, in connection with the St Baker Bridge Loan and the O-Corp Bridge Loan (each as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), provided that (1) such securities shall constitute Junior Shares (as defined in the Schedule of Terms), (2) the issuance or conversion of such securities is not made by means of a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), and (3) such securities shall be subject to the lock-up restrictions contained in Section 4 of the Side Letters (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement).

(d)Reserved.

 

(e)Reserved.

 

(f)Calculations. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Ordinary Shares.

 

(g)Voluntary Adjustment by Company. The Company may at any time in respect of any Preference Shares on issue, with the prior written consent of the Required Holders, reduce the then current Conversion Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board.

 

9.Installment Conversion or Installment Redemption.

 

(a)General. Subject to this Schedule of Terms, on each applicable Installment Date, provided no Equity Conditions Failure has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall satisfy the applicable Installment Amount due in respect of the relevant Preference Shares on such date by converting such Installment Amount in accordance with this Section 9 (an “Installment Conversion”); provided, however, that the Company may, at its option following notice to each Holder as set forth below and subject to applicable laws including the Corporations Act and only to the extent it is permitted to do so under any Lender Restrictions, pay the Installment Amount by redeeming such Installment Amount in legally available funds (an “Installment Redemption”) or by any combination of an Installment Conversion and an Installment Redemption so long as all of the outstanding applicable Installment Amount due on any Installment Date shall be converted and/or redeemed by the Company on the applicable Installment Date, subject to the provisions of this Section 9. On a date that is the eleventh (11th) Trading Day prior to each Installment Date (each, an “Installment Notice Due Date”), the Company shall deliver written notice (each, an “Installment Notice” and the date all Holders receive such notice is referred to as to the “Installment Notice Date”), to each Holder of Preference Shares and such Installment Notice shall (i) either (A) confirm that the applicable Installment Amount of such Holder shall be converted in whole pursuant to an Installment Conversion or (B) (1) state that the Company elects to redeem for cash, or is required to redeem for cash in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Schedule of Terms, in whole or in part, the applicable Installment Amount pursuant to an Installment Redemption and (2) specify the portion of such Installment Amount which the Company elects or is required to redeem pursuant to an Installment Redemption (such amount to be redeemed in cash, the “Installment Redemption Amount”)) and the portion of the applicable Installment Amount, if any, with respect to which the Company will, and is permitted to, effect an Installment Conversion (such amount of the applicable Installment Amount so specified to be so converted pursuant to this Section 9 is referred to herein as the “Installment Conversion Amount”), which amounts when added together, must at least equal the entire applicable Installment Amount and (ii) if the applicable Installment Amount is to be satisfied, in whole or in part, pursuant to an Installment Conversion, certify that there is not then an Equity Conditions Failure as of the applicable Installment Notice Date. In addition, the Company may not effect an Installment Conversion as to any such Installment Date unless, on such Installment Date, the Company shall have, subject to Sections 4(d) and (e), delivered to the Holder’s account with DTC a number of Ordinary Shares to be applied against such Installment Conversion Amount equal to the quotient of (x) the applicable Installment Conversion Amount divided by (y) the Installment Conversion Price (the “Installment Conversion Shares”). In the event that that number of Installment Conversion Shares that the Company can issue to the Holder is limited as result of Section 4(d), then such excess number of shares shall be held in abeyance until the Holder notifies the Company that the issuances of such shares to the Holder would not violate Section 4(d) at which time the Company shall deliver such shares to the Holder. Each Installment Notice shall be irrevocable. If the Company does not timely deliver an Installment Notice and Installment Conversion Shares in accordance with this Section 9 with respect to a particular Installment Date, then the Company shall be deemed to have delivered an irrevocable Installment Notice confirming an Installment Conversion of the entire Installment Amount payable on such Installment Date. Except as expressly provided in this Section 9(a), the Company shall convert and/or redeem the applicable Installment Amounts pursuant to this Section 9 in the same ratio of the applicable Installment Amount being converted and/or redeemed hereunder. The applicable Installment Conversion Amount (whether set forth in the applicable Installment Notice or by operation of this Section 9) shall be converted in accordance with Section 9(b) and the applicable Installment Redemption Amount shall be redeemed in accordance with Section 9(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if an Equity Conditions Failure has occurred due to a Volume Failure or Price Failure, the Company may satisfy the applicable Installment Amount by converting such Installment Amount using the “Alternate Conversion Price” instead of the “Installment Conversion Price” as applied mutatis mutandis to this Section 9 and, in the event of a Conversion Floor Price Condition, the Company shall deliver to the Holder the applicable Alternate Conversion Floor Amount, subject to applicable laws including the Corporations Act and only to the extent it is permitted to do so under any Lender Restrictions.

(b)Mechanics of Installment Conversion. Subject to Section 4(d), if the Company delivers an Installment Notice or is deemed to have delivered an Installment Notice certifying that such Installment Amount is being satisfied, in whole or in part, in an Installment Conversion in accordance with Section 9(a), then the remainder of this Section 9(b) shall apply. The applicable Installment Conversion Amount, if any, shall be converted on the applicable Installment Date at the applicable Installment Conversion Price and the Company shall, on such Installment Date, (A) deliver to each Holder’s account with DTC Ordinary Shares issued upon such conversion (subject to the reduction contemplated by the immediately following sentence and, if applicable, the penultimate sentence of this Section 9(b)) and (B) in the event of the Conversion Floor Price Condition, the Company shall (subject to applicable laws including the Corporations Act and only to the extent the Company is permitted to do so under any Lender Restrictions deliver to the Holder the applicable Conversion Installment Floor Amount, provided that the Equity Conditions are then satisfied (or waived in writing by such Holder) on such Installment Date and an Installment Conversion is not otherwise prohibited under any other provision of the Schedule of Terms. If the Company confirmed (or is deemed to have confirmed by operation of Section 9(a)) the conversion of the applicable Installment Conversion Amount, in whole or in part, and there was no Equity Conditions Failure as of the applicable Installment Notice Date (or is deemed to have certified that the Equity Conditions in connection with any such conversion have been satisfied by operation of Section 9(a)) but an Equity Conditions Failure occurred between the applicable Installment Notice Date and any time through the applicable Installment Date (the “Interim Installment Period”), the Company shall provide each Holder a subsequent notice to that effect. If there is an Equity Conditions Failure (which is not waived in writing by such Holder) during such Interim Installment Period or an Installment Conversion is not otherwise permitted under any other provision of this Schedule of Terms, then, at the option of such Holder designated in writing to the Company, such Holder may require (subject to applicable laws including the Corporations Act and only to the extent the Company is permitted to do so under the Lender Restrictions) the Company to do any one or more of the following: (i) the Company shall redeem all or any part designated by such Holder of the unconverted Installment Conversion Amount (such designated amount is referred to as the “Designated Redemption Amount”) and the Company shall pay by way of redemption to such Holder within three (3) days of such Installment Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in legally available funds equal to 106% of such Designated Redemption Amount, and/or (ii) the Installment Conversion shall be null and void with respect to all or any part designated by such Holder of the unconverted Installment Conversion Amount and such Holder shall be entitled to all the rights of a holder of the Preference Shares with respect to such designated part of the Installment Conversion Amount; provided, however, the Conversion Price for such designated part of such unconverted Installment Conversion Amount shall thereafter be adjusted to equal the lesser of (A) the Installment Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which such Holder voided the Installment Conversion and (B) the Installment Conversion Price that would be in effect on the date on which such Holder delivers a Conversion Notice relating thereto as if such date was an Installment Date. If the Company fails to redeem any Designated Redemption Amount by the second (2nd) day following the applicable Installment Date by payment of such amount by such date for any reason (including, without limitation, to the extent such payment is prohibited pursuant applicable corporate law), then such Holder shall have the rights set forth in Section 12(a) as if the Company failed to pay the applicable Installment Redemption Price (as defined below) and all other rights under this Schedule of Terms (including, without limitation, such failure constituting a Triggering Event described in Section 5(a)(vi)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9(b), but subject to Section 4(d), until the Company delivers Ordinary Shares representing the Installment Conversion Amount to such Holder, the Installment Conversion Amount may be converted by such Holder into Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 4. In the event that a Holder elects to convert the Installment Conversion Amount prior to the applicable Installment Date as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Installment Conversion Amount so converted shall be deducted from the Installment Amount(s) of such Holder relating to the applicable Installment Date(s) as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice, provided that if no such Installment Date is specified in the applicable Conversion Notice then the Holder shall be deemed to have requested that the Preference Shares converted be deducted from the Installment Amount(s) of such Holder relating to the last Installment Date.

(c)Mechanics of Installment Redemption. If the Company elects or is required to effect an Installment Redemption, in whole or in part, in accordance with Section 9(a), then the Installment Redemption Amount, if any, shall, subject to compliance by the Company with applicable law including the Corporations Act and only to the extent the Company is permitted to do so under any Lender Restrictions, be redeemed by the Company in legally available funds on the applicable Installment Date by wire transfer to each Holder of immediately available funds in an amount equal to 106% of the applicable Installment Redemption Amount (the “Installment Redemption Price”). If the Company fails to redeem such Installment Redemption Amount on such Installment Date by payment of the Installment Redemption Price for any reason (including, without limitation, to the extent such payment is prohibited pursuant to applicable law including the Corporations Act), then, at the option of such Holder designated in writing to the Company (any such designation shall be a “Conversion Notice” for purposes of this Schedule of Terms), such Holder may require the Company to convert all or any part of the Installment Redemption Amount at the Alternate Conversion Price (determined as of the date of such designation as if such date were an Alternate Conversion Date) and, in the event of the Conversion Floor Price Condition, the Company shall (subject to applicable laws including the Corporations Act and only to the extent the Company is permitted to do so under any Lender Restrictions deliver to the Holder the applicable Alternate Conversion Floor Amount. Conversions required by this Section 9(c) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9(c), but subject to Section 4(d), until the Installment Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Installment Redemption Amount (together with any Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by a Holder into Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 4. In the event a Holder elects to convert all or any portion of the Installment Redemption Amount prior to the applicable Installment Date as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Installment Redemption Amount so converted shall be deducted from the Installment Amounts relating to the applicable Installment Date(s) as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice, provided that if no such Installment Date is specified in the applicable Conversion Notice then the Holder shall be deemed to have requested that the Preference Shares converted be deducted from the Installment Amount(s) of such Holder relating to the last Installment Date. Redemptions required by this Section 9(c) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.

(d)Deferred Installment Amount. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9(d) to the contrary, each Holder may, at its option and in its sole discretion, deliver a written notice to the Company no later than the Trading Day immediately prior to the applicable Installment Date electing to have the payment of all or any portion of an Installment Amount of such Holder payable on such Installment Date deferred (such amount deferred, the “Deferral Amount”, and such deferral, each a “Deferral”) until any subsequent Installment Date selected by such Holder, in its sole discretion, in which case, the Deferral Amount shall be added to, and become part of, such subsequent Installment Amount. Any notice delivered by such Holder pursuant to this Section 9(d) shall set forth (i) the Deferral Amount and (ii) the date that such Deferral Amount shall now be payable.

 

(e)Acceleration of Installment Amounts. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9 to the contrary, but subject to Section 4(d), with respect to any given Installment Date (the “Current Installment Date”), during the period commencing on the 20th trading day immediately prior to such Current Installment Date (or, if the Current Installment Date is the first Installment Date, the Initial Issuance Date) and ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the next Installment Date (each, an “Installment Period”), each Holder may elect, at its option and in its sole discretion, at one or more times in such Installment Period, to convert Preference Shares (in addition to those Preference Shares converted or redeemed pursuant to this Section 9(b) or Section 9(c), as applicable, in connection with the Current Installment Date) (each, an “Acceleration”, and such aggregate number of Preference Shares in an Acceleration, each, an “Acceleration Amount” and the Conversion Date of any such Acceleration, each an “Acceleration Date”), in whole or in part, at the Acceleration Conversion Price of such Current Installment Date or Acceleration Date, as applicable, in accordance with the conversion procedures set forth in Section 4 hereunder, mutatis mutandis; provided, that if a Conversion Floor Price Condition exists with respect to such Acceleration Date, with each Acceleration the Company shall (subject to applicable laws including the Corporations Act and only to the extent the Company is permitted to do so under any Lender Restrictions) also deliver to the Holder the Acceleration Floor Amount on the applicable Share Delivery Deadline, and provided further, that if, on an Acceleration Date, an Equity Conditions Failure has occurred due to a Volume Failure or Price Failure, then the Acceleration Amount may be converted into Ordinary Shares at the Alternate Conversion Price and, if a Conversion Floor Price Condition exists with respect to such Acceleration Date, the Company shall (subject to applicable laws including the Corporations Act and only to the extent the Company is permitted to do so under any Lender Restrictions) deliver to the Holder the applicable Alternate Conversion Floor Amount on the applicable Share Delivery Deadline. For clarity, any Acceleration Amount shall be applied to the Installment Redemptions in inverse order from the Maturity Date unless otherwise indicated by the Holder.

12.Redemptions.

 

(a)General. If a Holder has submitted a Triggering Event Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5(b), the Company shall, subject to compliance by the Company with applicable law including the Corporations Act and only to the extent the Company is permitted to do so under any Lender Restrictions, deliver the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price to such Holder in legally available funds within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such Holder’s Triggering Event Redemption Notice. If a Holder has submitted a Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 6(b), the Company shall, subject to compliance by the Company with applicable law including the Corporations Act and only to the extent the Company is permitted to do so under any Lender Restrictions, deliver the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price to such Holder in legally available funds concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise. The Company shall, subject to compliance by the Company with applicable law including the Corporations Act and only to the extent the Company is permitted to do so under any Lender Restrictions, deliver the applicable Installment Redemption Price to each Holder in legally available funds on the applicable Installment Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with any redemption hereunder at a time a Holder is entitled to receive a cash payment under any of the other Transaction Documents, at the option of such Holder delivered in writing to the Company, the applicable Redemption Price hereunder shall be increased by the amount of such cash payment owed to such Holder under such other Transaction Document and, upon payment in full or conversion in accordance herewith, shall satisfy the Company’s payment obligation under such other Transaction Document. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Preference Shares, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to such Holder a new Preference Share Certificate (in accordance with Section 20) (or evidence of the creation of a new Book-Entry) representing the number of Preference Shares which have not been redeemed. In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to a Holder within the time period required for any reason (including, without limitation, to the extent such payment is prohibited pursuant to applicable law including the Corporations Act), at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, such Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to such Holder all or any of the Preference Shares that were submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) has not been paid. A Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding a Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Late Charges which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Preference Shares subject to such notice.

 

19

 

 

(b)Redemption by Multiple Holders. Upon the Company’s receipt of a Redemption Notice from any Holder for redemption or repayment as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section 5(b) or Section 6(b), the Company shall immediately, but no later than one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, forward to each other Holder by electronic mail a copy of such notice. If the Company receives one or more Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on and including the date which is two (2) Business Days prior to the Company’s receipt of the initial Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which is two (2) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the initial Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all of the Conversion Amount of such Preference Shares designated in such initial Redemption Notice and such other Redemption Notices received during such seven (7) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder based on the Stated Value of the Preference Shares submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notices received by the Company during such seven (7) Business Day period.

 

13.Reserved.

 

14.Voting Rights. Subject to the terms of the Corporations Act and the Constitution, Holders of Preference Shares shall have no voting rights, except in accordance with paragraphs (h)(i)-(vii) (inclusive) of the Schedule to the Constitution. To the extent that under the Constitution or the Corporations Act the vote of the Holders of the Preference Shares, voting separately as a class or series, as applicable, is required to authorize a given action of the Company, the affirmative vote or consent of the Required Holders of the shares of the Preference Shares, voting together in the aggregate and not in separate series unless required under the Constitution or the Corporations Act, represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is presented or by written consent of the Required Holders (except as otherwise may be required under the Constitution or the Corporations Act), voting together in the aggregate and not in separate series unless required under the Constitution or the Corporations Act, shall constitute the approval of such action by both the class or the series, as applicable. Subject to Section 4(d), to the extent that under the Constitution or the Corporations Act and if permitted by the Constitution or the Corporations Act Holders of the Preference Shares are entitled to vote on a matter with holders of Ordinary Shares, voting together as one class, each Preference Share shall entitle the Holder thereof to cast that number of votes per share as is equal to the number of Ordinary Shares into which it is then convertible (subject to the ownership limitations specified in Section 4(d) hereof) using the record date for determining the shareholders of the Company eligible to vote on such matters as the date as of which the Conversion Price is calculated. Holders of the Preference Shares shall be entitled to receive notices, reports, and accounts and to attend and be heard at all meetings of members on the same basis as the holders of Ordinary Shares in accordance with paragraph 2(g) of the Schedule to the Constitution.

16.Liquidation, Dissolution, Winding-Up. In the event of a Liquidation Event, the Holders shall (subject to any Lender Restrictions) be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its shareholders (the “Liquidation Funds”), before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any Junior Shares, but pari passu with any shares of pari passu rank to the Preference Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (collectively, the “Parity Shares”) then outstanding, an amount per Preference Share equal to the greater of (A) the Conversion Price and (B) the amount per share such Holder would receive if such Holder converted such Preference Share into Ordinary Shares at the Alternate Conversion Price immediately prior to the date of such payment, provided that if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the Holders and holders of shares of Parity Shares, then each Holder and each holder of Parity Shares shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder and such holder of Parity Shares as a liquidation preference, in accordance with their respective Schedule of Terms (or equivalent), as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all holders of Preference Shares and all holders of shares of Parity Shares. To the extent necessary, the Company shall cause such actions to be taken by each of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this Section 16. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section 16 shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Company to the holders of shares of Junior Shares in connection with a Liquidation Event as to which this Section 16 applies.

17.Distribution of Assets. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Sections 10(c), 10(d) and 10(e) of the Securities Purchase Agreement and Section 8 hereof, if the Company shall while any Preference Shares are on issue declare or make any dividend or other distributions of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to any or all holders of Ordinary Shares, 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, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (the “Distributions”), then each Holder, as holders of Preference Shares, will be entitled to such Distributions as if such Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete conversion of the Preference Shares (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preference Shares and assuming for such purpose that the Preference Share was converted at the Alternate Conversion Price as of the applicable record date)immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for such Distributions (provided, however, that to the extent that such Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in such Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such Ordinary Shares as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to such extent of any such excess) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of such Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in such Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times, if any, such Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

 

18.Reserved.

 

19.Transfer of Preference Shares. A Holder may not transfer any portion of its Preference Shares without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall be in compliance with all applicable securities laws (including the Corporations Act Limitation). Any transferee will be subject to this Schedule of Terms (and including in respect of any applicable Lender Restrictions referred to herein).

 

20.Reissuance of Preference Share Certificates and Book Entries.

 

(a)Transfer. If any Preference Shares are to be transferred, the applicable Holder shall surrender the applicable Preference Share Certificate to the Company (or, if the Preference Shares are held in Book-Entry form, a written instruction letter to the Company), whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new Preference Share Certificate (in accordance with Section 20(d)) (or evidence of the transfer of such Book-Entry), registered as such Holder may request, representing the outstanding number of Preference Shares being transferred by such Holder and, if less than the entire outstanding number of Preference Shares is being transferred, a new Preference Share Certificate (in accordance with Section 20(d)) to such Holder representing the outstanding number of Preference Shares not being transferred (or evidence of such remaining Preference Shares in a Book-Entry for such Holder). Such Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of the Preference Share Certificate or evidence of Book-Entry issuance, as applicable, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 4(c)(i) following conversion or redemption of any of the Preference Shares, the outstanding number of Preference Shares represented by the Preference Shares may be less than the number of Preference Shares stated on the face of the Preference Shares.

 

22

 

  

(b)Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Preference Share Certificate. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Preference Share Certificate (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the applicable Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Preference Share Certificate, the Company shall execute and deliver to such Holder a new Preference Share Certificate (in accordance with Section 20(d)) representing the applicable outstanding number of Preference Shares.

 

(c)Preference Share Certificate and Book-Entries Exchangeable for Different Denominations and Forms. Each Preference Share Certificate is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the applicable Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Preference Share Certificate or Preference Share Certificate(s) or new Book-Entry (in accordance with Section 20(d)) representing, in the aggregate, the outstanding number of the Preference Shares in the original Preference Share Certificate, and each such new Preference Share Certificate and/or new Book-Entry, as applicable, will represent such portion of such outstanding number of Preference Shares from the original Preference Share Certificate as is designated in writing by such Holder at the time of such surrender. Each Book-Entry may be exchanged into one or more new Preference Share Certificates or split by the applicable Holder by delivery of a written notice to the Company into two or more new Book-Entries (in accordance with Section 20(d)) representing, in the aggregate, the outstanding number of the Preference Shares in the original Book-Entry, and each such new Book-Entry and/or new Preference Share Certificate, as applicable, will represent such portion of such outstanding number of Preference Shares from the original Book-Entry as is designated in writing by such Holder at the time of such surrender.

 

(d)Issuance of New Preference Share Certificate or Book-Entry. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Preference Share Certificate or a new Book-Entry pursuant to the terms of this Schedule of Terms, such new Preference Share Certificate or new Book-Entry (i) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such Preference Share Certificate or in such Book-Entry, as applicable, the number of Preference Shares remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Preference Share Certificate or new Book-Entry being issued pursuant to Section 20(a) or Section 20(c), the number of Preference Shares designated by such Holder) which, when added to the number of Preference Shares represented by the other new Preference Share Certificates or other new Book-Entry, as applicable, issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Preference Shares remaining outstanding under the original Preference Share Certificate or original Book-Entry, as applicable, immediately prior to such issuance of new Preference Share Certificate or new Book-Entry, as applicable, and (ii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Preference Share Certificate or in such new Book-Entry, as applicable, which is the same as the issuance date of the original Preference Share Certificate or in such original Book-Entry, as applicable.

21.Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Schedule of Terms shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Schedule of Terms and any of the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit any Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Schedule of Terms. No failure on the part of a Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by such Holder of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. In addition, the exercise of any right or remedy of a Holder at law or equity or under this Schedule of Terms or any of the documents shall not be deemed to be an election of such Holder’s rights or remedies under such documents or at law or equity. The Company covenants to each Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by a Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). No failure on the part of a Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by such Holder of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. In addition, the exercise of any right or remedy of any Holder at law or equity or under Preference Shares or any of the documents shall not be deemed to be an election of such Holder’s rights or remedies under such documents or at law or equity. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, each Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to a Holder that is requested by such Holder to enable such Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Schedule of Terms.

23.Construction; Headings. This Schedule of Terms shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holders and shall not be construed against any such Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Schedule of Terms are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Schedule of Terms. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Schedule of Terms instead of just the provision in which they are found. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, all section references are to sections of this Schedule of Terms. Terms used in this Schedule of Terms and not otherwise defined herein, but defined in the other Transaction Documents, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms on the Initial Issuance Date in such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Required Holders and the Company.

 

24.Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. This Schedule of Terms shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all Holders and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 24 shall permit any waiver of any provision of Section 4(d).

 

25.Reserved.

 

26.Notices; Currency; Payments.

 

(a)Notices. The Company shall provide each Holder of Preference Shares with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to the terms of this Schedule of Terms, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Schedule of Terms, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice must be in writing and shall be given in accordance with Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company shall provide each Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Schedule of Terms, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefore.

25

 

 

(b)Currency. All dollar amounts referred to in this Schedule of Terms are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts owing under this Schedule of Terms shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Schedule of Terms, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation (it being understood and agreed that where an amount is calculated with reference to, or over, a period of time, the date of calculation shall be the final date of such period of time).

 

(c)Payments. Whenever any payment of cash is to be made by the Company to any Person pursuant to this Schedule of Terms, unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, such payment shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire transfer instructions that Holder shall provide to the Company in writing from time to time. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Schedule of Terms is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day. Any amount due under the Transaction Documents which is not paid when due shall result in a late charge being incurred and payable by the Company in an amount equal to interest on such amount at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the date such amount was due until the same is paid in full (“Late Charge”).

 

27.Waiver of Notice. To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby irrevocably waives demand, notice, presentment, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Schedule of Terms and the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

28.Governing Law. This Schedule of Terms shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Schedule of Terms shall be governed by, the laws in force in Queensland, Australia, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of Queensland, Australia or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the laws in force in Queensland, Australia.

 

26

 

 

29.Judgment Currency.

 

(a)If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Company in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 29 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in U.S. dollars under this Schedule of Terms, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Trading Day immediately preceding:

 

(i)the date actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date: or

 

(ii)the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 29(a)(ii) being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

 

(b)If in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 29(a)(ii) above, there is a change in the Exchange Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of US dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.

 

(c)Any amount due from the Company under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Schedule of Terms.

 

30.Severability.

As used in this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on (i) the business, properties, assets, liabilities, operations (including results thereof), condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined below), taken as a whole, (ii) the transactions contemplated hereby or in any of the other Transaction Documents or any other agreements or instruments to be entered into in connection herewith or therewith or (iii) the authority or ability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to perform any of their respective obligations under any of the Transaction Documents (as defined below). “Subsidiaries” means any Person in which the Company, directly or indirectly, (I) owns any of the outstanding capital stock or holds any equity or similar interest of such Person or (II) controls or operates all or any part of the business, operations or administration of such Person, and each of the foregoing, is individually referred to herein as a “Subsidiary.”

The Company, if required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, shall file the Prospectus with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b). At the time the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto became effective, at each Closing Date, the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto conformed and will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the 1933 Act and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, at the time the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto was issued and at each Closing Date, conformed and will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the 1933 Act and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

During the two (2) years prior to the Initial Closing Date, the Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, proxy statements, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date of this Agreement and all exhibits and appendices included therein and financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the “SEC Documents”). The Company has delivered or has made available to the Buyers or their respective representatives true, correct and complete copies of each of the SEC Documents not available on the EDGAR system. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect as of the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments which will not be material, either individually or in the aggregate). No other information provided by or on behalf of the Company to any of the Buyers which is not included in the SEC Documents (including, without limitation, information referred to in Section 2(e) of this Agreement or in the disclosure schedules to this Agreement) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstance under which they are or were made.

(l)Absence of Certain Changes. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents or as disclosed directly to the Buyers, since the date of the Company’s most recent audited financial statements contained in a Form 20-F, there has been no material adverse change and no material adverse development in the business, assets, liabilities, properties, operations (including results thereof), condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Since the date of the Company’s most recent audited financial statements contained in a Form 20-F, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has (i) declared or paid any dividends, (ii) sold any assets, individually or in the aggregate, outside of the ordinary course of business or (iii) made any capital expenditures, individually or in the aggregate, outside of the ordinary course of business. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation or winding up, nor does the Company or any Subsidiary have any knowledge or reason to believe that any of their respective creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that (1) a Bankruptcy Triggering Event (as defined in the Schedule of Terms), (2) any Senior LNSA Breach (as defined in the Schedule of Terms) or (3) any other circumstance or event that would, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, result in an event of default under the St Baker Bridge Loan or the O-Corp Bridge Loan other than an event or circumstance that is or may result in a cross-default arising from a Senior LNSA Breach (collectively, an “Outstanding Indebtedness Event”) has occurred as of the Closing Date. The Company and its Subsidiaries, individually and on a consolidated basis, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the Initial Closing and each Subsequent Closing, will not be Company Insolvent (as defined below). For purposes of this Section 3(l), “Company Insolvent” means, with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, (A) the present fair saleable value of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets is less than the amount required to pay the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ total Indebtedness (as defined below), (B) the Company and its Subsidiaries are unable to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured or (C) the Company and its Subsidiaries intend to incur or believe that they will incur debts that would be beyond their ability to pay as such debts mature. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in any business or in any transaction, and is not about to engage in any business or in any transaction, for which the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s remaining assets constitute unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any term of or in default under its Constitution, organizational documents, any schedule of terms, preferences or rights of any other outstanding series of preference shares of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, their organizational charter, certificate of formation, memorandum of association, articles of association or certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other organizational documents, respectively. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any judgment, decree or order or any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will conduct its business in violation of any of the foregoing, except in all cases for possible violations which could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company is not in violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements of the Principal Market and has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Ordinary Shares by the Principal Market in the foreseeable future. Since January 14, 2022, (i) the Ordinary Shares has been listed or designated for quotation on the Principal Market, (ii) trading in the Ordinary Shares has not been suspended by the SEC or the Principal Market and (iii) the Company has received no communication, written or oral, from the SEC or the Principal Market regarding the suspension or delisting of the Ordinary Shares from the Principal Market. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit. Except as previously disclosed to a Buyer, there is no agreement, commitment, judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party which has or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any business practice of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any acquisition of property by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the conduct of business by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as currently conducted other than such effects, individually or in the aggregate, which have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(ii)Between the time period of 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) and 6:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Trading Day of the expected announcement of the Subsequent Placement (or, if the Trading Day of the expected announcement of the Subsequent Placement is the first Trading Day following a holiday or a weekend (including a holiday weekend), between the time period of 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately prior to such holiday or weekend and 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day immediately prior to the Trading Day of the expected announcement of the Subsequent Placement), the Company shall deliver to each Buyer a written notice of the Company’s intention to effect a Subsequent Placement (a “Subsequent Placement Notice”), which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Placement, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Placement is proposed to be effected and shall include a term sheet and transaction documents relating thereto as an attachment.

(iii)Any Buyer desiring to participate in such Subsequent Placement must provide written notice to the Company by 6:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day following the date on which the Subsequent Placement Notice is delivered to such Buyer (the “Notice Termination Time”) that such Buyer is willing to participate in the Subsequent Placement, the amount of such Buyer’s participation, and representing and warranting that such Buyer has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Placement Notice. If the Company receives no such notice from a Buyer as of such Notice Termination Time, such Buyer shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate in such Subsequent Placement.

 

(iv)If, by the Notice Termination Time, notifications by the Buyers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Placement (or to cause their designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Placement, then the Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Placement on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Placement Notice.

(vii)The Company and each Buyer agree that, if any Buyer elects to participate in the Subsequent Placement, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Placement shall not include any term or provision that, directly or indirectly, will, or is intended to, exclude one or more of the Buyers from participating in a Subsequent Placement, including, but not limited to, provisions whereby such Buyer shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any securities of the Company or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement, without the prior written consent of such Buyer. In addition, the Company and each Buyer agree that, in connection with a Subsequent Placement, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Placement shall include a requirement for the Company to issue a widely disseminated press release by 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day of execution of the transaction documents in such Subsequent Placement (or, if the date of execution is not a Trading Day, on the immediately following Trading Day) that discloses the material terms of the transactions contemplated by the transaction documents in such Subsequent Placement.

(viii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(o) and unless otherwise agreed to by such Buyer, the Company shall either confirm in writing to such Buyer that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Placement, in either case in such a manner such that such Buyer will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the second (2nd) Trading Day following date of delivery of the Subsequent Placement Notice. If by 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on such second (2nd) Trading Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Buyer, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Buyer shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that upon delivery of a Conversion Notice (as defined in the Schedule of Terms) by the Buyer, the Buyer immediately owns the Ordinary Shares described in the Conversion Notice and any sale of those shares issuable under such Conversion Notice would not be considered Short Sales. The Company further acknowledges that any Short Sales which are the result of a bona fide trading error by a Buyer or its broker or that are the result from any failure of the Company to timely deliver Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Schedule of Terms shall not be deemed to breach this Section 4(jj).

 

(kk)No Waiver of Lock-Up Provisions. The Company will not waive any right under Section 4 of the side letters dated as of the date hereof between the Company and each of St Baker and O-Corp (the “Side Letters”).

 

(ll)Shareholder Approval. If and only to the extent that the Buyers would be restricted under section 606 of the Corporations Act (being the “Corporations Act Limitation” (as defined in the Schedule of Terms)) from converting Preference Shares into Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Schedule of Terms, the Buyers may, by written notice, accompany a Conversion Notice (as defined in the Schedule of Terms) with a request for the Company to obtain approval of its shareholders for the purposes of section 611 item 7 of the Corporations Act for the conversion of the relevant Preference Shares into Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Schedule of Terms (“Shareholder Approval”) (“Shareholder Approval Request”), in which case if such a Shareholder Approval Request is made:

 

(i)the Company must take all necessary steps to call and will call a general meeting in compliance with the Corporations Act, the Nasdaq listing rule and the Company constitution to consider the Shareholder Approval;

 

(ii)the Company must take all reasonable steps requested by the Buyers to encourage the Company’s shareholders to vote in favour of the Shareholder Approval;

 

(iii)the Company must engage an appropriately qualified independent expert (“Expert”) to prepare a report in relation to the proposed conversion of Preference Shares into Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Corporations Act and ASIC Regulatory Guide 74 (“IER”);

 

36

 

 

(iv)the Company will prepare a notice of meeting and explanatory memorandum for a shareholder meeting in compliance with the Corporations Act and ASIC Regulatory Guide 74;

 

(v)the Company must use reasonable endeavors to state in the notice of meeting (on the basis of statements made to it by each of its directors) that the Company’s board of directors unanimously recommends that shareholders of the Company support the conversion of the relevant Preference Shares into Ordinary Shares and vote in favour of the Shareholder Approval. To avoid doubt:

 

a.the recommendation may be expressed as being subject to the Expert concluding, and continuing to conclude, that the conversion of the relevant Preference Shares into Ordinary Shares is reasonable to the non-associated shareholders of the Company (being either ‘fair and reasonable’ or ‘not fair but reasonable’ to the shareholders of the Company other than any Buyer and its Associates (as defined by section 12 of the Corporations Act));

 

b.a director of the Company may change or withdraw his or her recommendation if:

 

i.the Expert gives a report that fails to conclude that the conversion of the Preference Shares into Ordinary Shares is ‘fair and reasonable’ or ‘not fair but reasonable’ (or having given a report that concluded that the conversion of the relevant Preference Shares into Ordinary Shares is ‘fair and reasonable’ or ‘not fair but reasonable’ gives a report changing that conclusion); or

 

ii.the board of directors of the Company has determined in good faith, after receiving written legal advice from the Company’s external legal advisers, that failing to do so is reasonably likely to constitute a breach of its fiduciary or statutory duties;

 

c.a director need not make a recommendation, or may change or withdraw their recommendation so as not to make a recommendation, if after first obtaining advice from independent counsel, the director has an interest that renders it inappropriate for that director to make or maintain any such recommendation; and

 

(vi)each relevant Buyer acknowledges that an IER from an Expert will be included in the meeting documents for the shareholder meeting and that the Company will provide a draft of the notice of meeting and IER to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

 

5.Register; Transfer Agent Instructions.

 

(a)Register. 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 each holder of Securities), a register for the Preference Shares in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Preference Shares have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), the principal amount of the Preference Shares held by such Person, the number of Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Preference Shares held by such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of any Buyer or its legal representatives.

 

37

 

 

(b)Transfer Agent Instructions. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent and any subsequent transfer agent (as applicable, the “Transfer Agent”) in a form acceptable to each of the Buyers (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) to issue certificates or credit shares (to the extent unrestricted shares are issued) to the applicable balance accounts at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), registered in the name of each Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Preference Shares. The Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5(b), and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(g) hereof, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent with respect to the Securities, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities, the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves Conversion Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144, the transfer agent shall issue such shares to such Buyer, assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5(b), that a Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion referred to in the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions to the Company’s transfer agent on the effective date of the Prospectus Supplement. Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, counsel to the Company or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of any legends on any of the Securities shall be borne by the Company.

8.Termination.

 

This Agreement may be terminated (i) by the mutual consent of each of the Company and the Buyers, (ii) if the Initial Closing shall not have occurred by September 20, 2023 (provided that no party shall have the right to terminate if they were the proximate cause of the failure to close by such date), or (iii) with respect to a Buyer, if the Company has breached the terms of this Agreement in a manner that would cause the failure of the conditions to closing hereunder to be met (and such breach remains uncured after 30 days’ notice). Upon any termination in accordance with this Section 8 by a Buyer, such party shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement with respect to itself at any time on or after the close of business on such date (without liability of such Buyer to any other party); provided, however, the abandonment of the sale and purchase of the Preference Shares by such Buyer shall be applicable only to such Buyer providing such written notice, provided further that no such termination by any party shall affect any obligation of the Company under this Agreement to reimburse such Buyer for the expenses described in Section 4(g) above. Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. Upon any termination of this Agreement prior to the Initial Closing Date, the Company and the Buyer shall promptly cause the Escrow Agent to return all funds on deposit in the Escrow Account to the Buyers.

 

44

 

 

9.Miscellaneous.

 

(a)Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude any Buyer from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to such Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Buyer. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

 

(b)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission (including DocuSign and similar) or by an email which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

 

45

 

 

(c)Headings; Gender. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

 

(d)Severability; Maximum Payment Amounts. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and without implication that the following is required or applicable), it is the intention of the parties that in no event shall amounts and value paid by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries (as the case may be), or payable to or received by any of the Buyers, under the Transaction Documents (including without limitation, any amounts that would be characterized as “interest” under applicable law) exceed amounts permitted under any applicable law. Accordingly, if any obligation to pay, payment made to any Buyer, or collection by any Buyer pursuant the Transaction Documents is finally judicially determined to be contrary to any such applicable law, such obligation to pay, payment or collection shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of such Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries and such amount shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the applicable law. Such adjustment shall be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing or refunding, at the option of such Buyer, the amount of interest or any other amounts which would constitute unlawful amounts required to be paid or actually paid to such Buyer under the Transaction Documents. For greater certainty, to the extent that any interest, charges, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid to or received by such Buyer under any of the Transaction Documents or related thereto are held to be within the meaning of “interest” or another applicable term to otherwise be violative of applicable law, such amounts shall be pro-rated over the period of time to which they relate.

 

46

 

 

(e)Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf, including, without limitation, any transactions by any Buyer with respect to Ordinary Shares or the Securities, and the other matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein and therein; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Buyer has entered into with, or any instruments any Buyer has received from, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Buyer in the Company or (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any rights of or benefits to any Buyer or any other Person, in any agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between or among the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Buyer, or any instruments any Buyer received from the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof, and all such agreements and instruments shall continue in full force and effect. Except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Required Holders (as defined below), and any amendment to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable; provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it (A) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding or (B) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion). No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party, provided that the Required Holders may waive any provision of this Agreement, and any waiver of any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable, provided that no such waiver shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding (unless a party gives a waiver as to itself only) or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion). No consideration (other than reimbursement of legal fees) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents, including all holders of the Preference Shares. From the date hereof and while any Preference Shares are outstanding, the Company shall not be permitted to receive any consideration from a Buyer or a holder of Preference Shares that is not otherwise contemplated by the Transaction Documents in order to, directly or indirectly, induce the Company or any Subsidiary (i) to treat such Buyer or holder of Preference Shares in a manner that is more favorable than to other similarly situated Buyers or holders of Preference Shares or (ii) to treat any Buyer(s) or holder(s) of Preference Shares in a manner that is less favorable than the Buyer or holder of Preference Shares that is paying such consideration; provided, however, that the determination of whether a Buyer has been treated more or less favorably than another Buyer shall disregard any securities of the Company purchased or sold by any Buyer. The Company has not directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company, any Subsidiary or otherwise. As a material inducement for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (x) no due diligence or other investigation or inquiry conducted by a Buyer, any of its advisors or any of its representatives shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y) unless a provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is expressly preceded by the phrase “except as disclosed in the SEC Documents,” nothing contained in any of the SEC Documents shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. “Required Holders” means (I) prior to the Closing Date, each Buyer entitled to purchase, in the aggregate, at least a majority of the number of Preference Shares at the Closing and (II) on or after the Closing Date, Alto Opportunity Master Fund, SPC – Segregated Master Portfolio B.

(k)Indemnification. In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and each holder of any Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any Subsidiary in any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary contained in any of the Transaction Documents or (iii) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (A) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents, (B) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (C) any disclosure properly made by such Buyer pursuant to Section 4(i), or (D) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities either as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, as a party in interest or otherwise in any action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief). To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

 

(l)Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability of a more general representation or warranty. Each and every reference to share prices, Ordinary Shares and any other numbers in this Agreement that relate to the Ordinary Shares shall be automatically adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Ordinary Shares after the date of this Agreement.

 

50

 

 

(m)Remedies. Each Buyer and in the event of assignment by Buyer of its rights and obligations hereunder, each holder of Securities, shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it or any Subsidiary fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its or such Subsidiary’s (as the case may be) obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law would inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).

 

(n)Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company or any Subsidiary does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be), any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

 

(o)Payment Set Aside; Currency. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or any of the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.

 

51

 

 

(p)Judgment Currency.

 

(i)If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Company in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 9(p) referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in US Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Trading Day immediately preceding:

 

(1)the date actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date: or

 

(2)the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 9(p)(i)(2) being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

 

(ii)If in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 9(p)(i)(2) above, there is a change in the Exchange Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of US Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.

 

(iii)Any amount due from the Company under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

 

52

 

 

(q)Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company each acknowledge that the Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity, and the Company shall not assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Buyer to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Buyer independently of any other Buyer. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with such Buyer making its investment hereunder and that no other Buyer will be acting as agent of such Buyer in connection with monitoring such Buyer’s investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. The Company and each Buyer confirms that each Buyer has independently participated with the Company and its Subsidiaries in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Buyer, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and its Subsidiaries and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company, each Subsidiary and a Buyer, solely, and not between the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Buyers collectively and not between and among the Buyers.

 

(r)No Withholding. Subject to the Schedule of Terms, all payments and deliveries made by, or on behalf of, the Company or any successor to the Company under or with respect to Transaction Documents and/or the Preference Shares, including, but not limited to, payments in cash and deliveries of Ordinary Shares, will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or within any jurisdiction in which the Company or any successor to the Company is, for tax purposes, organized or resident or doing business or through which payment is made or deemed made (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein).

 

10.Other relevant provisions

 

Terms used in this Section 10 shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule of Terms. This Section 10 and the terms of this Securities Purchase Agreement do not, for the avoidance of doubt, form part of the terms of issue of the Preference Shares and operate as contractual agreements only.

 

53

 

 

(a)Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Deadline (as defined in the Schedule of Terms), if the Transfer Agent is not participating in The Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”), to issue and deliver to each holder of Preference Shares (a “Holder”) (or its designee) a certificate for the number of Ordinary Shares to which such Holder is entitled and register such Ordinary Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for such number of Ordinary Shares to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of Preference Shares in any Conversion Amount (as defined in the Schedule of Terms) (as the case may be) (a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, (Y) such Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, all, or any portion, of such Preference Shares that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 10(a) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a certificate and register such Ordinary Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Ordinary Shares to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below, and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline such Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) Ordinary Shares corresponding to all or any portion of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion that such Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Conversion Failure (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, the Company shall, subject to applicable laws including the Corporations Act and only to the extent it is permitted to do so under any Lender Restrictions, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Holder’s request and in such Holder’s discretion, either: (I) make an election to receive a payment under the terms of this Agreement, or (II) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to such Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Ordinary Shares or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Ordinary Shares to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion under the Schedule of Terms (as the case may be) and pay an amount set out in this Agreement applicable to such circumstance. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it under the Transaction Documents, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver (if required) certificates representing Ordinary Shares (or to electronically deliver such Ordinary Shares) upon the conversion of the Preference Shares as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any given Conversion Failure, this Section 10(a) shall not apply to a Holder to the extent the Company has already paid such amounts in full to such Holder with respect to such Conversion Failure, as applicable, pursuant to the analogous sections of this Agreement.

 

54

 

 

(b)Rights upon Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Schedule of Terms) unless (i) the Successor Entity (as defined in the Schedule of Terms) (if the Successor Entity is not the Company) assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under the Schedule of Terms and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Preference Shares in exchange for such Preference Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Schedule of Terms, including, without limitation, having a stated value and dividend rate equal to the stated value and dividend rate of the Preference Shares held by the Holders and having similar ranking to the Preference Shares, and satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity (as defined in the Schedule of Terms)) is a publicly traded corporation whose ordinary shares are quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of the Schedule of Terms and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under the Schedule of Terms and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein and therein. In addition to the foregoing, upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity (if the Successor Entity is not the Company) shall deliver to each Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of the Preference Shares at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the Ordinary Shares (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 10(c), 10(d) and 10(e) hereof and Section 17 of the Schedule of Terms, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the conversion or redemption of the Preference Shares prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded ordinary shares (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which each Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had all the Preference Shares held by each Holder been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Preference Shares contained in the Schedule of Terms), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of the Schedule of Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 10(b) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of the Preference Shares. The provisions of this Section 10(b) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of the Preference Shares.

 

55

 

 

(c)Purchase Rights. For so long as there are Preference Shares on issue in addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 of the Schedule of Terms, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options (as defined in the Schedule of Terms), Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or substantially all of the record holders of any class of Ordinary Shares (the “Purchase Rights”) (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the issuance of securities to St Baker and O-Corp, or any of their respective affiliates, in connection with the St Baker Bridge Loan and the O-Corp Bridge Loan), then each Holder will be entitled to acquire for valuable consideration, 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 Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete conversion of all the Preference Shares (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preference Shares and assuming for such purpose that all the Preference Shares were converted at the Alternate Conversion Price (as defined in the Schedule of Terms) as of the applicable record date) held by such Holder immediately prior to 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 Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that such Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in such Holder and the other Attribution Parties (as defined in the Schedule of Terms) exceeding the Maximum Percentage (as defined in the Schedule of Terms) or a breach of the Corporations Act Limitation, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of the breach of the Corporations Act Limitation or the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such Ordinary Shares as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable) for the benefit of such Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in a breach of such Corporations Act Limitation as a result of the Company obtaining the Shareholder Approval or such Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times such Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable)) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

 

56

 

 

(d)Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, and for so long as there are Preference Shares on issue, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Ordinary Shares (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that each Holder will thereafter have the right, at such Holder’s option, to receive upon a conversion of all the Preference Shares held by such Holder (i) in addition to the Ordinary Shares receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which such Holder would have been entitled with respect to such Ordinary Shares had such Ordinary Shares been held by such Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preference Shares set forth in the Schedule of Terms) or (ii) in lieu of the Ordinary Shares otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of Ordinary Shares in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as such Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Preference Shares held by such Holder initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to Ordinary Shares) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section 10(d) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of the Preference Shares set forth in the Schedule of Terms.

 

57

 

 

(e)Other Events. In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary) shall take any action to which the provisions of the Schedule of Terms are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect any Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of Section 8 of the Schedule of Terms 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), then the Board shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of such Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 10(e) will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to Section 8 of the Schedule of Terms, provided further that if such Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then the Board and such Holder shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error and whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company.

 

(f)Mechanics of Installment Conversion. If the Holder is permitted to require the Company to do so in accordance with Section 9(b) of the Schedule of Terms and does so require in accordance with those terms, the Company shall pay to such Holder within three (3) days of such Installment Date (as defined in the Schedule of Terms), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in legally available funds equal to 106% of the applicable Designated Redemption Amount (as defined in the Schedule of Terms) (provided that the Holder is not permitted to receive double payment in respect of any such amount).

 

(g)Vote to Change the Terms of or Issue Preference Shares. In addition to any other rights provided by law, and for so long as there are Preference Shares on issue, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by another provision of the Constitution, without first obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders, voting together as a single class, the Company shall not (in any case, whether by amendment, modification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or otherwise): (a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, its Constitution, or file any Schedule of Terms or articles of amendment of any series of shares of preference shares, if such action would adversely alter or change in any respect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Preference Shares hereunder, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the Constitution or by merger, consolidation or otherwise; (b) without limiting any provision of Section 2 of the Schedule of Terms, create or authorize (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of Senior Preference Shares or Parity Share (each as defined in the Schedule of Terms); (c) purchase, repurchase or redeem any shares of Junior Shares (as defined in the Schedule of Terms) (other than pursuant to the terms of the Company’s equity incentive plans and options and other equity awards granted under such plans (that have in good faith been approved by the Board)); (d) without limiting any provision of Section 2 of the Schedule of Terms, pay dividends or make any other distribution on any shares of any Junior Shares; (e) issue any Preference Shares other than as contemplated hereby or pursuant to this Agreement; or (f) without limiting any provision of Section 10(j) hereof, whether or not prohibited by the terms of the Preference Shares, circumvent a right of the Preference Shares hereunder. This Section 10(g) does not apply to, and the Company is not prohibited from, (i) effecting or entering into an agreement if the effect of such transaction would be to redeem or otherwise cause any Preference Shares to no longer be outstanding from the proceeds of such transaction strictly in accordance with the provisions of the Schedule of Terms or (ii) issuing (or converting Indebtedness into) securities to St Baker and O-Corp, or any of their respective affiliates, in connection with the St Baker Bridge Loan and the O-Corp Bridge Loan, provided that (1) such securities shall constitute Junior Shares (as defined in the Schedule of Terms), (2) the issuance or conversion of such securities is not made by means of a Variable Rate Transaction, and (3) such securities shall be subject to the lock-up restrictions contained in Section 4 of the Side Letters.

 

58

 

 

(h)Payment of Collection, Enforcement and Other Costs. If (a) any Preference Shares are placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or a Holder otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under the Schedule of Terms with respect to the Preference Shares or to enforce the provisions of the Schedule of Terms or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors’ rights and involving a claim under the Schedule of Terms, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by such Holder for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that no amounts due under the Schedule of Terms with respect to any Preference Shares shall be affected, or limited, by the fact that the purchase price paid for each Preference Share was less than the original Stated Value thereof.

 

(i)Submission to Dispute Resolution.

 

(i)In the case of a dispute relating to a Closing Bid Price, a Closing Sale Price, a Conversion Price, an Installment Conversion Price, an Alternate Conversion Price, Acceleration Conversion Price, a VWAP or a fair market value or the arithmetic calculation of a Conversion Rate, or the applicable Redemption Price (as the case may be) (as all such terms are defined in the Schedule of Terms) (including, without limitation, a dispute relating to the determination of any of the foregoing), the Company or the applicable Holder (as the case may be) shall submit the dispute to the other party via electronic mail (A) if by the Company, within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute or (B) if by such Holder at any time after such Holder learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If such Holder and the Company are unable to promptly resolve such dispute relating to such Closing Bid Price, such Closing Sale Price, such Conversion Price, such Installment Conversion Price, such Alternate Conversion Price, such VWAP or such fair market value, or the arithmetic calculation of such Conversion Rate or such applicable Redemption Price (as the case may be), at any time after the second (2nd) Business Day following such initial notice by the Company or such Holder (as the case may be) of such dispute to the Company or such Holder (as the case may be), then such Holder may, at its sole option, select an independent, reputable investment bank to resolve such dispute.

 

59

 

 

(ii)Such Holder and the Company shall each deliver to such investment bank (A) a copy of the initial dispute submission so delivered in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 10(i) and (B) written documentation supporting its position with respect to such dispute, in each case, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) by the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately following the date on which such Holder selected such investment bank (the “Dispute Submission Deadline”) (the documents referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) are collectively referred to herein as the “Required Dispute Documentation”) (it being understood and agreed that if either such Holder or the Company fails to so deliver all of the Required Dispute Documentation by the Dispute Submission Deadline, then the party who fails to so submit all of the Required Dispute Documentation shall no longer be entitled to (and hereby waives its right to) deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank with respect to such dispute and such investment bank shall resolve such dispute based solely on the Required Dispute Documentation that was delivered to such investment bank prior to the Dispute Submission Deadline). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both the Company and such Holder or otherwise requested by such investment bank, neither the Company nor such Holder shall be entitled to deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank in connection with such dispute (other than the Required Dispute Documentation).

 

(iii)The Company and such Holder shall cause such investment bank to determine the resolution of such dispute and notify the Company and such Holder of such resolution no later than ten (10) Business Days immediately following the Dispute Submission Deadline. The fees and expenses of such investment bank shall be borne solely by the Company, and such investment bank’s resolution of such dispute shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error.

 

(j)Non-circumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Constitution or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of the Schedule of Terms, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of the Schedule of Terms and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holders hereunder provided that in connection with any Shareholder Approval Request, the obligations of the Company are governed by clause 4(ll) hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of the Schedule of Terms or the other Transaction Documents, the Company (a) shall not increase the par value of any Ordinary Shares receivable upon the conversion of any Preference Shares above the Conversion Price then in effect, and (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid Ordinary Shares upon the conversion of Preference Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if after the sixty (60) calendar day anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, each Holder is not permitted to convert such Holder’s Preference Shares in full for any reason (other than pursuant to restrictions set forth in Section 4(d) of the Schedule of Terms), the Company shall use its best efforts to promptly remedy such failure, including, without limitation, obtaining such consents or approvals as necessary to effect such conversion into Ordinary Shares.

 

60

 

 

(k)Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent (as defined below)) that may be payable with respect to the conversion of any Preference Shares. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of any Ordinary Shares in any conversion.

Exhibit 10.2

 

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 (this “Amendment”), dated as of September 18, 2023, to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 12, 2023 (the “Agreement”), by and among Tritium DCFC Limited, an Australian public company limited by shares (the “Company”), and each of the investors listed in the Schedule of Buyers attached to the Agreement (collectively, the “Buyers”), is hereby consented to and entered into by the Company and the Buyers. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

 

WHEREAS, the Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 9(e) thereof by the written agreement of the Company and the Required Holders, each of which is a party to this Amendment.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.            Section 8 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“This Agreement may be terminated (i) by the mutual consent of each of the Company and the Buyers, (ii) if the Initial Closing shall not have occurred by September 21, 2023 (provided that no party shall have the right to terminate if they were the proximate cause of the failure to close by such date), or (iii) with respect to a Buyer, if the Company has breached the terms of this Agreement in a manner that would cause the failure of the conditions to closing hereunder to be met (and such breach remains uncured after 30 days’ notice). Upon any termination in accordance with this Section 8 by a Buyer, such party shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement with respect to itself at any time on or after the close of business on such date (without liability of such Buyer to any other party); provided, however, the abandonment of the sale and purchase of the Preference Shares by such Buyer shall be applicable only to such Buyer providing such written notice, provided further that no such termination by any party shall affect any obligation of the Company under this Agreement to reimburse such Buyer for the expenses described in Section 4(g) above. Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. Upon any termination of this Agreement prior to the Initial Closing Date, the Company and the Buyer shall promptly cause the Escrow Agent to return all funds on deposit in the Escrow Account to the Buyers.

 

 

 

2.            Section 7(a)(xix) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

The Company shall have (i) filed with the SEC its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, which Form 20-F shall be in substantially the same form and substance as the draft Form 20-F previously provided to the Buyers, and (ii) disseminated its financial results for the first half calendar year and full fiscal year period ended June 30, 2023, in substantially the same form and substance as the draft previously provided to the Buyers.

 

3.            Initial Installment Date.

 

(A)            The Company hereby notifies the Buyers that, with respect to initial Installment Date, which is the Closing Date, the Company elects an Installment Conversion using the Alternate Conversion Price (as defined in the Schedule of Terms) pursuant to the last sentence of Section 9(a) of the Schedule of Terms.

 

(B)            Without limiting the Holder’s (as defined in the Schedule of Terms) ability to accelerate the initial Installment Amount pursuant to Section 9(e) of the Schedule of Terms, the Holder hereby notifies the Company that, pursuant to Section 9(d) of the Schedule of Terms, the Holder defers to the initial Installment Amount to the Installment Date immediately succeeding the initial Installment Date.

Execution Version

 

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO WARRANT AGREEMENT

 

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 2 (this “Amendment”), dated as of September 12, 2023, to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of September 2, 2022 (as amended by the Amendment dated as of November 18, 2022, the “Warrant Agreement”), by and among Tritium DCFC Limited, an Australian public company limited by shares (the “Company”), Computershare Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Computershare”), and its affiliate, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company (together with Computershare, collectively, the “Warrant Agent”), is hereby consented to and entered into by the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Holders party hereto.

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the financing under the Senior Loan Note Subscription Agreement dated as of September 2, 2022 (the “LNSA”) among the Company and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), the Company has issued or will issue to the Lenders or their affiliates warrants to subscribe for and purchase ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”) (such warrants being referred to as “Warrants”) pursuant to the Subscription and Registration Rights Agreement, dated September 2, 2022 (the “Subscription Agreement”), by and among the Company and the parties listed under “Holder” on the signature pages thereto (each such party, together with any person or entity who hereafter becomes a party to the Subscription Agreement pursuant to Section 1.1 or 5.2 of the Subscription Agreement, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”);

 

WHEREAS, the Company is entering into a financing transaction with Ayrton Capital LLC (the “Financing”), the Lenders are consenting to certain matters to facilitate the Financing and, in in connection therewith, the Company and the Holders holding at least 66-2/3% of the issued Warrants desire to amend the Warrant Agreement as set forth herein, such modifications to be effective as of the date hereof (the “Effective Date”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Warrant Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 9.8 thereof by the written agreement of the Company and the Warrant Agent, each of which is a party to this Agreement, and the vote or written consent of the Holders holding at least 66-2/3% of the issued Warrants, which such consent is represented by the signatures of the Holders on the signature pages hereto.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.            Amendments to the Warrant Agreement. The Company, the Warrant Agent and the Holders party hereto hereby agree to the following amendments to the Warrant Agreement.

 

(A)           Section 3.2.1(c) of the Warrant Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“(c) One third of the Warrants will vest and be immediately exercisable on September 12, 2023.”

 

 

 

 

(B)           Section 3.3.3 of the Warrant Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“3.3.3. Guaranteed Value. Immediately upon receiving an Exercise Notice, the Company shall calculate the value of the Warrant Shares (prior to any adjustment described in this Section 3.3.3 and without taking into account any exercise on a “cashless” basis pursuant to Section 3.3.1(b)) issuable to each Registered Holder upon exercise of the Warrant (the “Issue Shares”) as follows (the “Share Valuation”):

 

Share Valuation = Issue Shares issuable to such Registered Holder X Relevant Price

 

Where the “Relevant Price” means $0.68 per share.

 

If the Share Valuation is less than the Guaranteed Value (as calculated below), the Company shall, on the Share Issue Date, adjust the number of Warrant Shares issuable on the Share Issue Date to include additional Ordinary Shares to such Registered Holder (“Additional Warrant Shares”), where such number of Additional Warrant Shares will be calculated as the difference between the Share Valuation and the Guaranteed Value (the “Value Difference”), divided by the Relevant Price (rounded up to the nearest whole Ordinary Share).

 

The Registered Holder shall be deemed to have subscribed for such number of Additional Warrant Shares so calculated, except that to the extent the issue of Additional Warrant Shares would to the Company’s actual knowledge cause a Registered Holder to hold 10% or more of the issued Ordinary Shares of the Company or a Registered Holder and its affiliates (the “Warrant Holder Affiliated Group”) to hold collectively 20% or more of the issued Ordinary Shares in the Company, the Company shall pay cash for any Additional Warrant Shares that would cause the Registered Holder or Warrant Holder Affiliated Group to exceed the 10% or 20% threshold, respectively, in lieu of issuing such Additional Warrant Shares, unless the Company and such Registered Holder otherwise agree to the issuance of Additional Warrant Shares.

 

The “Guaranteed Value” shall be calculated by multiplying the Issue Shares by the Initial Share Price and by the percentage in the following table that corresponds to the last date before the relevant Exercise Date:

 

To and Including Percentage
24 Months from Financial Close 67%
30 Months from Financial Close 80%
Thereafter 100%

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Share Valuation equals or exceeds the Guaranteed Value, there will be no adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares issued or cash paid pursuant to this Section 3.3.3.”

 

(C)           The Warrant Agreement is hereby amended to add a new Section 3.3.9 to read in its entirety as follows:

 

“3.3.9. Warrant Exercises Upon Closing of Financing. Subject to the effectiveness of the amendments to this Agreement provided in Amendment No 2. to this Agreement dated as of September 12, 2023 (“Amendment No. 2”), each Registered Holder agrees to exercise all outstanding Warrants held by such Registered Holder effective on or as soon as practicable after the effectiveness of Amendment No. 2 and shall submit to the Warrant Agent an Exercise Notice for the exercise of all such outstanding Warrants in accordance with Section 3.3.1.”

 

(D)          The definition of “Excluded Issuances” set forth in Section 10 of the Warrant Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

““Excluded Issuances” means any issuance (or deemed issuance in accordance with Section 4.3) by the Company after the Original Issue Date of: (a) Ordinary Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant; (b) up to $100 million in the aggregate of (x) Ordinary Shares issued in continuous offerings pursuant to an “at-the-market” program or committed equity facility and/or (y) convertible redeemable preference shares of the Company, including the issuance of any Ordinary Shares upon conversion of such convertible redeemable preference shares; or (c) up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 Ordinary Shares (as such number of shares is equitably adjusted for subsequent stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, and recapitalizations) issued directly or upon the exercise of Options to directors, officers, employees, or consultants of the Company in connection with their service as directors of the Company, their employment by the Company, or their retention as consultants by the Company, in each case authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors and issued pursuant to the Tritium DCFC Limited Long-Term Incentive Plan, Shadow Equity Employee Scheme of Tritium Technologies, LLC, Shadow Equity Employee Scheme of Tritium Technologies B.V. and Shadow Equity Employee Scheme of Tritium Pty Ltd.”

 

(E)           Section (c) of the Warrant Certificate included as Exhibit A to the Warrant Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“(c) One third of the Warrants will vest and be immediately exercisable on September 12, 2023.”

 

2.            Effect on Warrant Agreement. Except as specifically amended hereby, the Warrant Agreement shall continue to be in full force and effect and is hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Holders under the Warrant Agreement, and it does not constitute a waiver of any provision of the Warrant Agreement.

3.            Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined in this Amendment, but that are used herein (including as may be used in the Recitals), shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Warrant Agreement.

 

4.             Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

 

5.            Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile, .pdf or other electronic imaging means of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment.
