(a)     If and whenever on or after the Subscription Date, the Corporation issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 5 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued by the Corporation in connection with any Excluded Securities (as defined below) (the “Additional Shares”) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to a price determined as follows:

 

Adjusted Conversion Price = (A x B) + D

A+C

where

 

“A” equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, including the Additional Shares deemed to be issued hereunder, immediately preceding the Dilutive Issuance;

 

“B” equals the Conversion Price in effect immediately preceding such Dilutive Issuance;

 

 
8

 

 

“C” equals the number of Additional Shares issued or deemed issued hereunder as a result of the Dilutive Issuance; and

 

“D” equals the aggregate consideration, if any, received or deemed to be received by the Corporation upon such Dilutive Issuance.

 

For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 5(a), the following shall be applicable:

 

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Corporation in any manner grants any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 5(a)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Corporation with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option less any consideration paid or payable by the Corporation with respect to such one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price or number of Conversion Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Corporation in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 5(a)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Corporation with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security less any consideration paid or payable by the Corporation with respect to such one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price or number of Conversion Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Series C Preferred Stock has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 5(a), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price or number of Conversion Shares shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 5(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Subscription Date are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect or a decrease in the number of Conversion Shares.

 

(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Corporation, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) the Options will be deemed to have been issued for the Option Value of such Options and (y) the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation less any consideration paid or payable by the Corporation pursuant to the terms of such other securities of the Corporation, less (II) the Option Value. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Corporation therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Corporation will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Corporation will be the Closing Sale Price of such security on the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Corporation is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Corporation and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Corporation and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Corporation.

(v) Record Date. If the Corporation takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

 

(vi) NASDAQ Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 5(a) to the contrary, if a reduction in the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 5(a) (other than as set forth in this clause (a)(vi)) would require the Corporation to obtain stockholder approval of the offering contemplated by the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d)(2) and such stockholder approval has not been obtained, (i) the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the maximum extent that would not require stockholder approval under such Section, and (ii) the Corporation shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such stockholder approval as soon as reasonably practicable, including by calling a special meeting of stockholders to vote on such Conversion Price adjustment. In the event that the stockholders do not approve the offering at such meeting, the Corporation shall promptly call one or more additional special meetings until such time as stockholder approval is obtained. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of any transaction contemplated by Sections 3 or 4 hereof.

 

 
11

 

  

(b)     The Corporation may at any time reduce the then current Conversion Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board.

 

(c)     If the Corporation at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Conversion Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Corporation at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Conversion Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 5(c) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

(d)     If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 5 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights or phantom stock rights), then the Board will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 5(d) will increase the Conversion Price or decrease the number of Conversion Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 5.

 

(e)     Prior to receipt of the Stockholder Approval, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Conversion Shares that may be acquired by any holder of Series C Preferred Stock upon the conversion of its Series C Preferred Stock (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act does not exceed 19.999% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purposes the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a Change of Control Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversion limitation set forth in this Section 5(e) shall not apply to any holder of Series C Preferred Stock who already has beneficial ownership in excess of the Maximum Percentage prior to the conversion of the holder’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

(a)     If the Corporation shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (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), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Weighted Average Price determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such Weighted Average Price on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

 

7.     Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 5 above, if at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, including pursuant to the Rights Plan (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Holder’s Series C Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on the conversion thereof) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

8.     Notices. Upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, then, and in each such case the Corporation shall give written notice thereof by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each Holder of Series C Preferred Stock at the address of such holder as shown on the books of the Corporation, which notice shall state the Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. In addition, in case at any time:

 

(1) the Corporation shall declare any dividend upon its Common Stock payable in cash or stock or make any other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock;

 

 
13

 

 

(2) the Corporation shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of such stock of any class or other rights;

 

(3) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation, or a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with, or a sale of all or substantially all its assets to, another corporation; or

 

(4) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation;

 

then, in any one or more of said cases, the Corporation shall give, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each holder of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock at the address of such holder as shown on the books of the Corporation, (a) at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Corporation shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (b) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (a) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto, and such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (b) shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be.

 

9. Stock to be Reserved. The Corporation will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock as herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock which shall be so issued shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and free from all liens, duties and charges arising out of or by reason of the issue thereof (including, without limitation, in respect of taxes) and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Corporation covenants that it will from time to time take all such action as may be requisite to assure that the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the effective Conversion Price. The Corporation will take all such action within its control as may be necessary on its part to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any national securities exchange upon which the Common Stock of the Corporation may be listed. The Corporation will not take any action which results in any adjustment of the Conversion Price if after such action the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and thereafter issuable upon exercise of all Options and conversion of Convertible Securities, including upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, would exceed the total number of shares of such class of Common Stock then authorized by the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation.

 

 
14

 

 

10. No Reissuance of Series C Preferred Stock. Shares of Series C Preferred Stock that are converted into shares of Common Stock or redeemed by the Corporation as provided herein shall cease to be outstanding and shall be retired and may not be reissued as Series C Preferred Stock but may be reissued as all or part of another series of Preferred Stock.

 

11. Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the holders thereof for any issuance tax, stamp tax, transfer tax, duty or charge in respect thereof, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax, duty or charge which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the holder of the Series C Preferred Stock which is being converted.

 

12. Closing of Books. The Corporation will at no time close its transfer books against the transfer of any Series C Preferred Stock or of any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of such Series C Preferred Stock; provided, however, nothing herein shall be construed to prevent the Corporation from setting record dates for the holders of its securities.

 

13. Voting. In addition to any class voting rights provided by law and this Certificate of Designation, the Holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class on any matter on which the holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote (including the election of directors); provided, however, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall not have the right to vote (either with the holders of Common Stock or as a separate class) to approve the Proposal at the Stockholders Meeting. With respect to the voting rights of the Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the preceding sentence, each Holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast a fraction of one vote for each share of Common Stock that would be issuable to such Holder upon the conversion of all the shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by such Holder on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at a conversion rate the numerator of which is the Series C Stated Value (as adjusted for any subdivision by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise, as contemplated in Section 5(c) hereof, occurring prior to such record date) and the denominator of which is the Closing Bid Price per share of the Common Stock on the Subscription Date.

 

14. Certain Restrictions. In addition to any other vote of the Holders of Series C Preferred Stock required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, without the prior consent of the Holders of at least 66% of the Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a special meeting called for that purpose, at which meeting the holders of the shares of such Series C Preferred Stock shall vote together as a class, the Corporation will not:

 

 
15

 

 

(a)     authorize, create, designate, establish or issue (whether by merger or otherwise) (i) an increased number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, or (ii) any other class or series of capital stock ranking senior to or on parity with the Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation or reclassify any shares of Common Stock into shares having any preference or priority as to dividends or upon liquidation superior to or on parity with any such preference or priority of Series C Preferred Stock or reclassify any shares of Common Stock or any other class or series of capital stock into shares having any preference or priority as to dividends or upon liquidation superior to or on parity with any such preference or priority of Series C Preferred Stock;

 

(b)     adopt a plan for the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation or any recapitalization plan (whether occurring by merger, consolidation or otherwise), file any petition seeking protection under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law or make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;

 

(c)     enter into any Change of Control Transaction;

 

(d)     incur, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate, other than indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Business Financing Agreement, effective as of September 27, 2011, by and between the Corporation and Bridge Bank, National Association;

 

(e)     amend, alter or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Corporation or the Resolutions contained in this Certificate of Designations of the Series C Preferred Stock and the powers, preferences, privileges, relative, participating, optional and other special rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, which would adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series C Preferred Stock, or which would increase or decrease the amount of authorized shares of the Series C Preferred Stock or of any other series of preferred stock ranking senior to the Series C Preferred Stock, with respect to the payment of dividends (whether or not such series of preferred stock is cumulative or noncumulative as to payment of dividends) or upon liquidation;

 

(f)     directly or indirectly, declare or pay any dividend (other than dividends permitted pursuant to Section 2 and dividends payable in shares of Common Stock but only to the extent that such stock dividend results in an adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 5 hereof) or directly or indirectly purchase, redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire or permit any Subsidiary to redeem, purchase, repurchase or otherwise acquire (or make any payment to a sinking fund for such redemption, purchase, repurchase or other acquisition) any share of Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security or any other class or series of the Corporation’s capital stock (except for the shares of Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 15 hereof or for shares of Common Stock repurchased from current of former employees, consultants, or directors upon termination of service in accordance with plans approved by the Board) whether in cash, securities or property or in obligations of the Corporation or any Subsidiary;

 

 
16

 

 

(g)     materially change the nature or scope of the business of the Corporation or enter into any new line of business;

 

(h)     act on any proposal or transact any business at the Stockholders Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, other than (i) voting on the Proposal and (ii) reasonably necessary for the conduct of the Stockholders Meeting; or, (iii) if the Corporation determines that the Stockholders Meeting will constitute the Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders, such other proposals or business as is properly brought before the stockholders at such annual meeting; or

 

(i)     agree to do any of the foregoing.

 

15. Redemption.

 

(a)     From and after the date that is one (1) year after the date on which a share of Series C Preferred Stock is first issued, the Required Holders shall have the right, at the Required Holders’ option, to require the Corporation to redeem, to the extent there are funds legally available therefor, all or a portion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, at the election of each holder of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock, at a price per share of Series C Preferred Stock equal to the Conversion Price then in effect, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (as defined below), whether or not declared (the “Redemption Price”), by delivery of written notice to the Corporation (the “General Redemption Request”) at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”) set forth in the General Redemption Request.

 

(b)     Promptly following receipt of the General Redemption Request and no later than twenty (20) days prior to a Redemption Date, the Corporation shall mail a notice of optional redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid to each holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, which notice shall state (i) the Redemption Date and the Redemption Price and (ii) the date upon which the redemption right terminates, which shall be not earlier than seven (7) days prior to the Redemption Date. Any holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock may then, in its sole discretion, exercise its redemption right with respect to all or any portion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Redemption Securities”) beneficially owned by such holder by delivery to the Corporation of a written notice no less than seven (7) days prior to the Redemption Date stating (x) that such holder is exercising the right of redemption described herein and (y) the number of shares of the Redemption Securities with respect to which such holder is exercising its redemption right.

 

(c)     The Corporation shall pay the applicable Redemption Price on the later of (i) the Redemption Date and (ii) upon the receipt of surrender of the certificates representing the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so reasonably require, and letters of transmittal and instructions therefor on reasonable terms as are included in the notice sent by the Corporation); provided, that if such certificates are lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation may require such holder to execute an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith, prior to paying such Redemption Price.

 

 
17

 

 

(d)     Shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, as the case may be, will from and after the Redemption Date, no longer be deemed to be outstanding; and all powers, designations, preferences and other rights of the holder thereof as a holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock (except the right to receive from the Corporation the applicable Redemption Price) shall cease and terminate with respect to such shares; provided, that in the event that a share of Series C Preferred Stock is not redeemed due to a default in payment by the Corporation or because the Corporation is otherwise unable to pay the applicable Redemption Price in cash in full, such share of Series C Preferred Stock will remain outstanding and will be entitled to all of the powers, designations, preferences and other rights as provided herein.

 

(e)     Any redemption of shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 15 (such redemption, the “Redemption”) shall be payable out of any cash legally available therefor. At the time of the Redemption, the Corporation shall take all actions required or permitted under Delaware law to permit the Redemption and to make funds legally available for such Redemption. To the extent that the Corporation has insufficient funds to redeem all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock upon the Redemption, the Corporation shall use available funds to redeem a pro rata portion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock, to the extent permissible under Delaware law.

 

16. No Waiver. Except as otherwise modified or provided for herein, the Holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall also be entitled to, and shall not be deemed to have waived, any other applicable rights granted to such holders under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

17. No Impairment. The Corporation will not, through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger scheme or 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 to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation but will at all time in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions herein and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights and liquidation preferences granted hereunder of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Corporation (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock above the Conversion Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, and (iii) shall, so long as any shares of Series C Preferred stock remain outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversion).

 

 
18

 

 

18. No Preemptive Rights. No Holder of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall have any preemptive right to subscribe to any issue of the same or other capital stock of the Corporation.

 

19. Amendment; Waiver. Any term of the Series C Preferred Stock may be amended or waived (including the adjustment provisions included in Section 5 hereof) upon the written consent of the Corporation and the Holders of at least 66% of the Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding; provided, however, that the number of Conversion Shares issuable hereunder and the Conversion Price may not be amended, and the right to convert the Series C Preferred Stock may not be altered or waived, without the written consent of the holders of all of the Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding.

 

20. Action By Holders. Any action or consent to be taken or given by the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock may be given either at a meeting of the Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock called and held for such purpose or by written consent.
