c.                                       Conversion Price.  The conversion price for Series B-1 Convertible Preferred shall initially be $0.10 (the “B-1 Conversion Price”).  The conversion price for Series B-2 Convertible Preferred shall initially be $0.10 (the “B-2 Conversion Price”). The conversion price for Series C-1 Convertible Preferred shall initially be $0.10 (the “C-1 Conversion Price”).    Notwithstanding any reference to Series B-1 Preferred, Series C-1 Preferred or Series B-2 Preferred herein, only the Series B-1 Convertible Preferred, Series B-2 Convertible Preferred and Series C-1 Convertible Preferred shall be convertible.

14



 

such event each holder of Series B-1 Preferred, Series B-2 Preferred or Series C-1 Preferred, as applicable, shall have the right to receive upon conversion thereof the kind and amount of stock and other securities or property receivable in connection with such recapitalization, reclassification or other change with respect to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B-1 Preferred, Series B-2 Preferred or Series C-1 Preferred, as applicable, could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustments as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.

 

h.                                      Reorganizations, Mergers or Consolidations.  If at any time or from time to time after the B-1 Original Issue Date (with respect to the Series B-1 Preferred), B-2 Original Issue Date (with respect to the Series B-2 Preferred) or C-1 Original Issue Date (with respect to the Series C-1 Preferred), the Common Stock is converted into other securities or property, whether pursuant to a reorganization, merger, consolidation or otherwise (other than a recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 4), as a part of such transaction provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series B-1 Preferred, Series B-2 Preferred or Series C-1 Preferred, as applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of such Series B-1 Preferred,  Series B-2 Preferred or Series C-1 Preferred, as applicable, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled in connection with such transaction, subject to adjustment in respect of such stock or securities by the terms thereof.  In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of Series B-1 Preferred, Series B-2 Preferred or Series C-1 Preferred, as applicable, after the capital reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 (including adjustment of the B-1 Conversion Price, B-2 Conversion Price or C-1 Conversion Price, as applicable, then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B-1 Preferred, Series B-2 Preferred or Series C-1 Preferred, as applicable) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable.  The Corporation shall not be a party to any reorganization, merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is not the surviving entity unless the entity surviving such transaction assumes, by written instrument, all the Corporation’s obligations hereunder.

 

i.                                          Certificate of Adjustment.  In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the B-1 Conversion Price, B-2 Conversion Price or C-1 Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion of the Series B-1 Preferred, Series B-2 Preferred or Series C-1 Preferred, as applicable, the Corporation, at its expense, shall compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder of Series B-1 Preferred,  Series B-2 Preferred or Series C-1 Preferred, as applicable, at the holder’s address as shown in the Corporation’s books.  The certificate shall set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (1) the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Corporation for any additional shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (2) the B-1 Conversion Price, B-2 Conversion Price or C-1 Conversion Price, as applicable, in effect before and after such adjustment, (3) the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued or

l.                                          Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(i)                                     Optional Conversion.  Each holder of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred, Series B-2 Convertible Preferred or Series C-1 Convertible Preferred who desires to convert the same into shares of Non-Voting Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4 shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such securities, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same.  Such notice shall state the number of shares of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred, Series B-2 Convertible Preferred or Series C-1 Convertible Preferred, as applicable, being converted.  Thereupon, the Corporation shall promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock to which such holder is entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate representing the shares of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred, Series B-2 Convertible Preferred or Series C-1 Convertible Preferred, as applicable, to be converted, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Non-Voting Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Non-Voting Common Stock on such date.

 

(ii)                                  Automatic Conversion.  Upon a Qualified IPO, the outstanding shares of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred, Series B-2 Convertible Preferred and Series C-1 Convertible Preferred, the outstanding shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, and to the extent the Corporation has made an election to convert the Series PL Preferred, Series A Preferred, Series AA Preferred, Series A-1 Preferred and Series A-2 Preferred as provided in Section 4(k), above, the Series PL Preferred, the Series A Preferred, Series AA Preferred, Series A-1 Preferred and Series A-2 Preferred, as the case may be, shall be converted into that number of shares of Voting Common Stock to which the holder is entitled automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Voting Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred, Series B-2 Convertible Preferred, Series C-1 Convertible Preferred, Non-Voting Common Stock, Series PL Preferred, Series A Preferred, Series AA Preferred, Series A-1 Preferred and Series A-2 Preferred are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates.  Upon surrender by any holder of the certificates formerly representing shares of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred, Series B-2 Convertible Preferred, Series C-1 Convertible Preferred, Non-Voting Common Stock, Series PL Preferred, Series A Preferred, Series AA Preferred, Series A-1 Preferred or Series A-2 Preferred at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such securities, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Voting Common Stock into which the shares of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred, Series B-2 Convertible Preferred, Series C-1 Convertible Preferred, Non-Voting Common Stock, Series PL Preferred, Series A Preferred, Series AA Preferred, Series A-1 Preferred or Series A-2 Preferred surrendered were convertible on the date on which such

 

18



 

automatic conversion occurred.  Until surrendered as provided above, each certificate formerly representing shares of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred, Series B-2 Convertible Preferred, Series C-1 Convertible Preferred, Non-Voting Common Stock, Series PL Preferred, Series A Preferred, Series AA Preferred, Series A-1 Preferred or Series A-2 Preferred shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to represent the number of shares of Voting Common Stock resulting from such automatic conversion.

 

m.                                    Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued.  All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred, Series B-2 Convertible Preferred, Series C-1 Convertible Preferred, Series PL Preferred, Series A Preferred, Series AA Preferred, Series A-1 Preferred or Series A-2 Preferred by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determination whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share, the Corporation shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Common Stock’s (i) Fair Value per share, in the case of optional conversion of shares of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred, Series B-2 Convertible Preferred or Series C-1 Convertible Preferred pursuant to Sections 4(a) and 4(l)(i), or (ii) Fair Market Value per share, in the case of mandatory conversion of shares of Series PL Preferred, Series A Preferred, Series AA Preferred, Series A-1 Preferred, Series A-2 Preferred, Series B-1 Convertible Preferred, Series B-2 Convertible Preferred or Series C-1 Convertible Preferred pursuant to Sections 4(k) and 4(l)(ii).

 

n.                                      Conversion.
