     4.4. Participating Dividends. So long as any shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding, in the event that the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall declare a dividend payable upon the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a stock dividend on the Common Stock payable solely in the form of additional shares of Common Stock), the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled, in addition to any cumulative dividends to which they may be entitled under Section 4.2 or Section 4.3, respectively, to receive the amount of dividends per share of such Preferred Stock that would be payable on the number of whole shares of the Common Stock into which each share of such Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted pursuant to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, such number to be determined as of the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend. However, this Section 4.4 shall not apply to any dividends payable in connection with any event as to which Section 5 hereof applies.

5. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding-Up.
     5.1. Series B Preferred Stock Preference. So long as any shares of Series B Preferred

 


 

Stock remain outstanding, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of the Corporation, the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the greater of (A) the sum of (i) the Series B Purchase Price (as adjusted for stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events affecting the Series B Preferred Stock) and (ii) an amount equal to all accrued or declared but unpaid dividends thereon, or (B) the amount that would be payable to such holders if the Series B Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation. If upon such liquidation, distribution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the assets to be distributed are insufficient to permit payment in full to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, then the entire assets of the Corporation to be distributed shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holders.
     5.2. Series A Preferred Stock Preference. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, after payment has been made in full pursuant to Section 5.1 above, the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the greater of (A) the sum of (i) the Series A Purchase Price (as adjusted for stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events affecting the Series A Preferred Stock) and (ii) an amount equal to all accrued or declared but unpaid dividends thereon, or (B) the amount that would be payable to such holders if the Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation. If upon such liquidation, distribution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, and after the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full the amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, the assets to be distributed are insufficient to permit payment in full to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, then the entire amount of such remaining assets of the Corporation to be distributed shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holders.
     5.3. Treatment of Mergers, Consolidations, Sales of Assets. So long as any shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding, unless the Required Holders agree in writing otherwise, a Sale of the Corporation shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Corporation for purposes of this Section 5. The term “Sale of the Corporation” shall mean (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, (ii) an acquisition of the Corporation by one or more Persons by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including any reorganization, merger, consolidation) where the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding immediately preceding such transaction or series of transactions or the voting securities issued with respect to the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding immediately preceding such transaction or series of transactions represent less than 50% of the voting securities of the Corporation or surviving entity, as the case may be, following such transaction or series of transactions, or (iii) a transaction or series of related transactions resulting in the transfer of shares representing more than 50% of the voting

 


 

securities of the Corporation, excluding any transfer to any Affiliate(s) of the transferring stockholder(s). A sale (or multiple related sales) of one or more Subsidiaries of the Corporation (whether by way of merger, consolidation, reorganization or sale of all or substantially all assets or securities) which constitutes all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Corporation shall be deemed a sale of substantially all the assets of the Corporation for purposes of the foregoing definition.
     5.4. Distributions Other Than Cash. Unless the Required Holders determine otherwise, all payments made pursuant to this Section 5 shall be made in cash. If the amount to be distributed to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock or the Series B Preferred Stock upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up (including any transaction treated as such pursuant to Section 5.2) shall be other than cash, the fair market value of the property, rights, or securities distributed to such holders shall be mutually agreed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Required Holders; provided, however, that if such mutual agreement cannot be reached, such fair market value shall be determined by following the procedures set forth in the definition of Appraisal Procedure.
6. Voting Rights. The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply only so long as any shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding.
     6.1. Single Class. Except as otherwise required by law or as set forth herein, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders and to vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class upon any matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote on the following basis:
     6.1.1. holders of Common Stock shall have one vote per share; and
     6.1.2. holders of Preferred Stock shall have that number of votes per share as is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock (including fractions of a share) into which such Preferred Stock could be converted pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof on the date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such matter.
     6.2. Separate Class. In any case where under provisions of applicable law or as set forth herein, the holders of the Common Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock or the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote as a separate class, holders of Common Stock shall have one vote per share, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have one vote per share, and holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall have one vote per share.
     6.3. Series B Preferred Stock Special Voting Rights. Except as expressly provided herein or as required by law, so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, take any of the actions set forth in Sections 6.3.1 through 6.3.15 below, without the approval, by vote or written consent, of the Required Holders:

     6.3.5. redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for value any share or shares of the capital stock of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, except for (A) repurchases from an employee or his or her heirs pursuant to contractual call rights or rights of first refusal in which all of the Common Stock held by such employee is repurchased, (B) redemption of the Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 8 hereof or (C) redemption of any Option outstanding on the Series B Original Issue Date to the extent required by the terms of such Option as in effect on the Series B Original Issue Date;

     6.4.1. Series B Directors. The Required Holders shall have the right to the exclusion of all other classes or series of the Corporation’s capital stock, voting at a meeting of stockholders called for the purpose or by written consent, separately from the Common Stock, to elect three (3) directors to serve on the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Such directors shall comprise a separate class of directors and be referred to as “Series B Directors.” Each Series B Director so elected shall serve until such Person’s successor is duly elected by holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock being the only Persons entitled to remove a Series B Director. No reason need be given by the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock for the removal by the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock of a Series B Director. If holders of the Series B Preferred Stock for any reason fail to elect anyone to fill any such directorship, the position shall remain vacant until such time as holders of the Series B Preferred Stock elect a Series B Director to fill the position, and such vacancy shall not be filled by resolution or vote of the Corporation’s Board of Directors or its other shareholders. All directors other than the Series B Directors shall be elected by the holders of the Preferred Stock and the holders of the Common Stock voting as a single class in accordance with Section 6.1.
     6.4.2. Election of Directors Upon Redemption Default. In the event that the Corporation shall fail to pay the full Mandatory Redemption Price in respect of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock required to be redeemed on the Mandatory Redemption Date pursuant to Section 5 hereof and such failure continues for a period of ninety (90) days following delivery of written notice of such failure by the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock (a “Redemption Default”), then immediately upon the occurrence of such Redemption Default and continuing until such time as the Redemption Default is cured, the authorized number of directors on the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be increased by the number of directors necessary for the Series B Directors and such additional directors to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors, and the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect such additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors. A vacancy in any directorship elected solely by the holders of the

 


 

Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6.4.2 shall be filled only by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock or by any remaining directors elected solely by the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6.4.
7. Conversion of Preferred Stock. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows:
     7.1. Optional Conversion.
     7.1.1. Series B Preferred Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance thereof and without the payment of any additional consideration therefor, into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Series B Purchase Price (as adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events affecting the Series B Preferred Stock) by the Series B Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. The “Series B Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to the Series B Purchase Price. The initial Series B Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.
     7.1.2. Series A Preferred Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance thereof and without the payment of any additional consideration thereof, into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Series A Purchase Price (as adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events affecting the Series A Preferred Stock) by the Series A Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. The “Series A Conversion Price” (and together with the “Series B Conversion Price,” each, a “Conversion Price’’) shall initially be equal to the Series A Purchase Price. The initial Series A Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.
     7.2. Conversion Upon Certain Events.
     7.2.1. Underwritten Public Offerings. All outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Preferred Stock is convertible pursuant to Section 7.1, immediately upon the closing of an underwritten public offering (a “Qualified Public Offering”) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock for the account of the Corporation in which the aggregate net proceeds to the Corporation equal or exceed $75,000,000 and the price per share to the public is not less than $0.2235 (such amount to be equitably adjusted upon the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 7.5.4) and after which the Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market, without any further action by the holders of such shares.
     7.2.2. Voluntary Conversion of Preferred Stock. All outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall, upon the vote or written consent of the Required Holders, be automatically

 


 

converted into the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Preferred Stock is convertible pursuant to Section 7.1 without any further action by the holders of such shares. The effective date of conversion hereunder shall be the date specified in the vote causing conversion, or if no such date is specified, the date the vote is taken.
     7.2.3. Surrender. On or after the date of occurrence of any conversion of any Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7.2.1 or Section 7.2.2, and in any event within ten (10) days after receipt of notice by mail, postage prepaid, from the Corporation of the occurrence of such event, each holder of record of shares of such Preferred Stock being converted shall surrender such holder’s certificates evidencing such shares at the principal office of the Corporation or at such other place as the Corporation shall designate, and shall thereupon be entitled to receive certificates evidencing the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of such Preferred Stock are converted and cash as provided in Section 7.3 in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion. On the date of the occurrence of any conversion of Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7.2.1 or Section 7.2.2, each holder of record or shares of such Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, notwithstanding that the certificates representing such shares of such Preferred Stock shall not have been surrendered at the office of the Corporation, that notice from the Corporation shall not have been received by any holder of record of shares of such Preferred Stock, or that the certificates evidencing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to such holder.
     7.2.4. Cancellation. All certificates evidencing shares of Preferred Stock that are required to be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof, from and after the date such certificates are so required to be surrendered shall be deemed to have been retired and canceled. The Corporation from time to time thereafter shall take appropriate action to reduce the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock accordingly.
     7.3. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
     7.4. Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times when any Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of such Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all of the outstanding Preferred Stock. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the applicable Conversion Price below the then-existing par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take any corporate action that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.
     7.5. Adjustments to Preferred Stock Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.

 


 

     7.5.1. Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. If after the Series B Original Issue Date the Corporation shall issue (or pursuant to Section 7.5.2 be deemed to have issued) Additional Shares of Common Stock, without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series B Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in each such event, (i) the Series B Conversion Price shall be reduced to the price determined by multiplying the Series B Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue by a fraction (the “Series B Conversion Fraction”), (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale on a Fully Diluted Basis plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for such issuance would purchase at the Series B Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issuance, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis immediately after such issue or sale; and (ii) the Series A Conversion Price shall be reduced to the price determined by multiplying the Series A Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issuance by the Series B Conversion Fraction.
     7.5.2. Options and Convertible Securities. In the event the Corporation at any time shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date; provided, that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued:
     7.5.2.1. no further adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;
     7.5.2.2. such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation, or increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, each Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities;
     7.5.2.3. upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised, each Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the

 


 

occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if:
  (a)   in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Common Stock the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Corporation (i) for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, or (ii) for the issue of all such Convertible Securities whether or not converted or exchanged plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation upon such conversion or exchange; and
 
  (b)   in the case of Options for Convertible Securities only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such Options, and the consideration received by the Corporation for the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Corporation (determined pursuant to Section 7.5.3) upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;
     7.5.2.4. no readjustment pursuant to Section 7.5.2.2 or 7.5.2.3 above shall have the effect of increasing any Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) such Conversion Price on the original adjustment date, or (ii) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date;
     7.5.2.5. if such record date shall have been fixed and such Options or Convertible Securities are not issued on the date fixed therefor, the adjustment previously made in any Conversion Price which became effective on such record date shall be cancelled as of the close of business on such record date, and thereafter such Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 7.5.2 as of the actual date of their issuance.
     7.5.3. Determination of Consideration. For purposes of Section 7.5, the consideration received by the Corporation for the issuance (or deemed issuance) of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:
     7.5.3.1. Cash and Property. Such consideration shall: (i) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed as the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends; (ii) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the

 


 

Board of Directors, or if the Required Holders request, as determined by independent accountants of recognized standing promptly selected by the Corporation to value such property, whereupon such value shall be given to such consideration and shall be recorded on the books of the Corporation with respect to the receipt of such property; and (iii) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration received for the Additional Shares of Common Stock, computed as provided in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
     7.5.3.2. Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 7.5.2, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing (x) the total amount, if any, received by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (y) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
     7.5.4. Adjustment or Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidation of Common Stock. In the event that the Corporation at any time shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock), or in the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, each Conversion Price then in effect immediately prior to such event shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, be proportionately decreased or increased, as appropriate. In the event that the Corporation shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, then the Corporation shall be deemed to have made a dividend payable in Common Stock in an amount of shares equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire Common Stock.
     7.5.5. Adjustments for Reclassification and Reorganization. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for in Section 7.5.4 or a merger or other reorganization referred to in Section 5.3 above), each

 


 

Conversion Price then in effect shall concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted so that the Preferred Stock shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to received, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of such stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders of the Preferred Stock as if such holders had converted into Common Stock immediately before that change.
     7.5.6. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7 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 Corporation’s Board of Directors shall make an appropriate reduction in each Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock.
     7.6. Consolidation or Merger. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation, other than a consolidation or merger which is treated as a liquidation pursuant to Section 5.3, then, as a part of such consolidation or merger, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation, or of the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or merger, to which a holder of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion would have been entitled on such consolidation or merger. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (including an adjustment of any Conversion Price then in effect to the price of the Common Stock reflected in the merger or consolidation if the price is less than such Conversion Price then in effect) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 7 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Preferred Stock after the consolidation or merger to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 and the number of shares acquirable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be applicable after the consolidation or merger in as nearly equivalent a manner as may be practicable as before the consolidation or merger. So long as any Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation shall preserve the rights of the Preferred Stock, including without limitation the rights set forth in Sections 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. The actions taken pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Required Holders.
     7.7. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of any Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 7, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a similar certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the applicable Conversion Price then in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that then would be received upon the conversion of such Preferred Stock. All adjustments made pursuant to this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest one hundredth of a cent.
     7.8. No Impairment. The Corporation will not, without the consent of the Required Holders, by amendment of this Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of

 


 

assets, consolidation, merger, 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 to be observed or performed under this Section 7 by the Corporation for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Stock but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 7 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock in this Section 7 against impairment.
     7.9. Taxes on Conversion. The Corporation will pay any and all original issuance, transfer, stamp and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of the Preferred Stock pursuant hereto.
     7.10. Notice of Record Date. In the event that there occurs any of the following events:
     7.10.1. the Corporation declares a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock payable in cash, Common Stock, other securities of the Corporation or otherwise;
     7.10.2. the Corporation subdivides or combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock;
     7.10.3. there occurs or is proposed to occur any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation;
     7.10.4. the Corporation issues any Common Stock, Convertible Securities or Options;
     7.10.5. a Sale of the Corporation or any other consolidation or merger of the Corporation into or with another corporation; or
     7.10.6. the involuntary or voluntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Corporation;
then the Corporation shall cause to be filed at its principal office or at the office of the transfer agent of the Preferred Stock and shall cause to be mailed to the holders of the Preferred Stock at their addresses as shown on the records of the Corporation or such transfer agent, at least ten (10) days prior to the record date specified in (a) below or twenty (20) days before the date specified in (b) below, a notice describing in reasonable detail the event in question and the proposed timing thereof, and if applicable, stating the following information:
  (a)   the record date of such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, subdivision, or combination are to be determined, or
 
  (b)   the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of

 


 

      which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, liquidation. dissolution, or winding-up.

In the event that a Qualified Public Offering has not been consummated on or prior to February 28, 2014, upon receipt at any time on or after thirty (30) days prior to February 28, 2014 of a written request for redemption (a “Redemption Request”) from the Required Holders, then on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after receipt by the Corporation of the Redemption Request (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”) the Corporation shall redeem for cash from each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, subject to the conditions set forth below, at a price per share of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of (x) the sum of the Series B Purchase Price plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends on each share of Series B Preferred Stock, and (y) the fair market value of each share of Series B Preferred Stock on the date that the Redemption Request is made, as mutually agreed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Required Holders; provided, however, that if such mutual agreement cannot be reached, such fair market value shall be determined by following the procedures set forth in the definition of Appraisal Procedure.
     8.1.2. Series A Preferred Stock. In the event that a Redemption Request has been made by the Required Holders pursuant to Section 8.1.1, upon receipt within five (5) business days prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date of a written request for redemption from the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall redeem for cash from each of holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to the conditions set forth below, at a price per share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of (x) the sum of the Series A Purchase Price plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock, and (y) the fair market value of each share of Series A Preferred Stock on the date that the Redemption Request is made, as mutually agreed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the holders of at least 50% of the Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that if such mutual agreement cannot be reached, such fair market value shall be determined by following the procedures set forth in the definition of Appraisal Procedure.
     8.1.3. The Corporation shall provide notice of the Redemption Request, specifying the time and place of redemption and the Series B Mandatory Redemption Price or the Series A Mandatory Redemption Price (each, a “Mandatory Redemption Price”), as applicable, by first class or registered mail, postage prepaid, to each holder of record of Preferred Stock at the address for such holder last shown on the records

 


 

of the transfer agent therefor (or the records of the Corporation, if it serves as its own transfer agent), not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date.
     8.1.4. The Corporation shall use its best efforts and shall take all reasonable action necessary to pay the Series B Mandatory Redemption Price and the Series A Mandatory Redemption Price as provided in this Section 8.1, including obtaining financing or effectuating a recapitalization so as to create a surplus.
     8.2. Insufficient Funds. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock on the Mandatory Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the full number of shares of all of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock required under this Section 8 to be redeemed on such date, those funds which are legally available will be used to redeem the maximum possible number of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock being redeemed, such redemption to be made pro rata among the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holders. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation become legally available for the redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock, such funds will be used to redeem the balance of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock which the Corporation was theretofore obligated to redeem as provided in the immediately preceding sentence. After all shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed and the Series B Mandatory Redemption Price therefor shall have been paid or set aside for payment in full any additional funds that shall be or become legally available for redemption shall be used to redeem the maximum possible number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, redeeming such shares ratably on the basis of the number of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation become legally available for the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, such funds will be used to redeem the balance of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock which the Corporation was theretofore obligated to redeem as provided in the immediately preceding sentence.

Any shares of Preferred Stock converted, redeemed, purchased, or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof, and shall not be reissued and the Corporation from time to time shall take such action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized Preferred Stock accordingly.
10. Waivers.

The holders of at least 75% of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock shall be required to consent to any such waiver that requires a separate class vote of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock under Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (except as contemplated by Article FOURTH, Section 3 of this Certificate of Incorporation). In addition, by delivery of written notice to the Corporation, any holder of Preferred Stock may waive, solely with respect to such holder, any of the rights, preferences or privileges relating to such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock hereunder, either prospectively or retrospectively.

amount. The final valuation amount for purposes hereof shall be the average of the two valuation amounts closest together, as determined by the investment banking firm, from among the valuation amounts submitted by the Corporation and the Required Holders and the valuation amount calculated by the investment banking firm. The determination of the final valuation amount by such investment banking firm shall be final and binding upon the parties. The Corporation shall pay the fees and expenses of the investment banking firm and arbitrator (if any) used to determine the valuation amount. If required by any such investment banking firm or arbitrator, the Corporation shall execute a retainer and engagement letter containing reasonable terms and conditions, including, without limitation, customary provisions concerning the rights of indemnification and contribution by the Corporation in favor of such investment banking firm or arbitrator and its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents and Affiliates.

     SEVENTEENTH. The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed herein and by the laws of the State of Delaware, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.
