WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights establishing the Series B Preferred Stock, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into fully-paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.00002 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), upon the approval of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which such conversion shall be effected automatically without the need for any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent; and
WHEREAS, in connection with, and conditioned upon the consummation of, an anticipated registered public offering by the Company of the Common Stock (the “Offering”) as registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a Registration Statement on Form S-1, the Controlling Stockholders and the Company intend to enter into an agreement (the “Series B Conversion Agreement”) pursuant to which each issued and outstanding share of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be converted a number of shares of Common Stock using the following amounts for the terms defined in Section 5.3 of the Certificate: (i) an Original Issuance Price of $100.00 per share, which increases the Original Issuance Price of $50.00 set forth in the Certificate to give effect to the liquidation preference, on a deemed liquidation, of $100.00 per share of Series B Preferred Stock, as contemplated by Section 3.1 of the Certificate, and (ii) a Conversion Price, as defined in Section 5.3 of the Certificate, equal to 93.5% of the offering price to the public of the shares of Common Stock in the Offering, representing a 6.5% discount to the offering price to the public of the shares of Common Stock in the Offering; and
WHEREAS, it is a condition to the willingness of Controlling Stockholders to enter into the Series B Conversion Agreement that the Company agree with the Controlling Stockholders to hereafter nominate certain persons, as contemplated herein, to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”); and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and of the covenants and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Director Nomination Rights.
(a) For so long as the Controlling Stockholders collectively own beneficially or of record or otherwise have the right to vote or consent with respect to at least twenty-eight percent (28%) of the total number of the then outstanding shares of the Common Stock, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Board to nominate, with respect to each election of directors, a number of candidates for election as director who are designated by the Controlling Stockholders which shall equal, together with all other directors whose terms are to continue following such election and who were nominated by the Controlling Stockholders (which directors shall be deemed to include, along with any other directors who are in the future nominated pursuant to this Agreement, Peter Brodsky, Daniel Hopkin and Joseph Colonnetta), three (3).
(b) For so long as the Controlling Stockholders collectively own beneficially or of record or otherwise have the right to vote or consent with respect to at least eighteen percent (18%), but less than twenty-eight percent (28%), of the total number of the then outstanding shares of the Common Stock, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Board to nominate, with respect to each election of directors, a number of candidates for election as director who are designated by the Controlling Stockholders which shall equal, together with all other directors whose terms are to continue following such election and who were nominated by the Controlling Stockholders (which directors shall be deemed to include, along with any other directors who are in the future nominated pursuant to this Agreement, Peter Brodsky, Daniel Hopkin and Joseph Colonnetta), two (2).
(c) For so long as the Controlling Stockholders collectively own beneficially or of record or otherwise have the right to vote or consent with respect to at least five percent (5%), but less than eighteen percent (18%), of the total number of the then outstanding shares of the Common Stock, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Board to nominate, with respect to each election of directors, a number of candidates for election as director who are designated by the Controlling Stockholders which shall equal, together with all other directors whose terms are to continue following such election and who were nominated by the Controlling Stockholders (which directors shall be deemed to include, along with any other directors who are in the future nominated pursuant to this Agreement, Peter Brodsky, Daniel Hopkin and Joseph Colonnetta), one (1).
(d) The Controlling Stockholders shall not be entitled to the rights set forth under Sections 1(a), 1(b) and 1(c) if (i) they do not collectively own beneficially or of record or otherwise have the right to vote or consent with respect to at least five percent (5%) of the total number of the then outstanding shares of the Common Stock, or (ii) the election of the nominee(s) designated under those Sections would result in such nominee(s) constituting, upon election, a greater percentage of the Board than the minimum ownership percentage set forth in Section 1(a), 1(b) or 1(c), as applicable.
(e) To the extent that the election of a nominee designated by the Controlling Stockholders pursuant to Section 1(a), which nominee would constitute the third member of the Board nominated by the Controlling Stockholders, would result, if such nominee did NOT qualify as “independent” under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Exchange, in a majority of the Board failing to consist of directors that DID qualify as independent under such rules, then the Controlling Stockholders shall designate a nominee who would qualify as independent to the extent necessary to cause, upon the election of such nominee, the Board to consist of a majority of directors qualifying as independent.
