of all or any shares of the Preferred Stock in one or more series, each with such designations, preferences, voting powers (or no voting powers), relative, participating, optional or other special rights and privileges and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the board of directors to create such series, and a certificate of designations setting forth a copy of said resolution or resolutions shall be filed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of this corporation as consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of this corporation, as the case may be, and also on this corporation.

NINTH. A director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended hereafter to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.

Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph by the stockholders of the corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

TENTH.

A. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION

Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (“proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the

 

- 5 -


Corporation as a director or officer, employee or agent of another corporation, or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said Law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expenses, liability and loss including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnity in connection with an action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the Corporation. Such right shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer of the Corporation in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise.

 

  B. RIGHT OF CLAIMANT TO BRING SUIT

If a claim under Paragraph A of Article TENTH is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety (90) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to this Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the

 

- 6 -


Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

  C. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS

The rights conferred on any person by Paragraphs A and B of Article TENTH shall not be exclusive of any other right which such persons may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

  D. INSURANCE

The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any such director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

ELEVENTH. The corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon a stockholder herein are granted subject to this reservation.

I, the undersigned, being the sole incorporator hereinabove named, for the purpose of forming a corporation pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, do make this certificate, hereby declaring and certifying that this is my act and deed and the facts her are true, and accordingly have hereunto set my hand this 28th day September, 1993.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS

OF

SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

OF

FIBROGEN, INC.

FIBROGEN, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), pursuant to the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, does hereby make this Certificate of Designations and does hereby state and certify that, pursuant to the authority expressly vested in the Board of Directors of the Corporation by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of Directors has duly adopted the following resolutions:

RESOLVED, that, pursuant to Article FOURTH of the Certificate of Incorporation, which authorizes 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value (“Preferred Stock”), the Board of Directors hereby fixes the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions, of a series of Preferred Stock.

RESOLVED, that each share of such series of Preferred Stock shall rank equally in all respects and shall be subject to the following provisions:

(1) Number and Designation. 10,000,000 shares of the Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall be designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).

(2) Rank. The Series A Preferred Stock shall, with respect to rights on liquidation, dissolution and winding up, rank prior to all classes of the Corporation’s common stock, $.01 par value (“Common Stock”). All equity securities of the Corporation to which the Series A Preferred Stock ranks prior (whether with respect to liquidation, dissolution, winding up or otherwise), including the Common Stock, are collectively referred to herein as the “Junior Securities.” All equity securities of the Corporation with which the Series A Preferred Stock ranks on a parity (whether with respect to liquidation, dissolution, winding up or otherwise) are collectively referred to herein as the “Parity Securities.” All equity securities of the Corporation to which the Series A Preferred Stock ranks junior (whether with respect to liquidation, dissolution, winding up or otherwise), are collectively referred to herein as the “Senior Securities”. The respective definitions of Junior Securities, Parity Securities and Senior Securities shall also include any rights, options or warrants exercisable for any of the Junior


Securities, Parity Securities and Senior Securities, as the case may be. The Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to the creation of Junior Securities, Parity Securities and Senior Securities.

(3) Dividends. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, to the extent as, on the same basis as, at the same rate as, and contemporaneously with, cash dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors with respect to shares of any Common Stock or Parity Securities. Such dividends shall be paid to the holders of record at the close of business on the record date specified by the Board of Directors of the Corporation at the time such dividend is declared, provided, however, that such record date shall not be more than 60 days or less than 10 days prior to the applicable dividend payment date.

(4) Conversion.

(a) Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof except as otherwise provided in paragraph (4)(b) below, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $1.00 by the Conversion Price (as defined below) applicable to such share, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be deliverable upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Price”) shall initially be $1.00 per share of Common Stock. Such initial Conversion Price shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each outstanding share of Series A Preferred stock shall automatically convert upon a public offering of Common Stock at a price of at least $2.00 per share if the total aggregate proceeds to the Corporation before underwriting commissions and expenses are at least $10,000,000.

(c) Before any holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for the holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for such stock, and, unless such conversion is automatic pursuant to clause (b) above, shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. The

 

- 2 -


Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made (i) in the case such conversion is automatic pursuant to clause (b) above, upon the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to such offering, and (ii) in all other cases, immediately prior to the close of business on the date of surrender of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted (in either case, the “Conversion Date”), and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or record holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

(d) All shares of Series A Preferred Stock which have been converted as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall forthwith cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof, subject to the provisions of clause (c) of this paragraph (4), to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor.

(e) (i) For the purposes of this clause (e), the following definitions shall apply:

(A) “Options” shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire either Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (as defined below);

(B) “Original Issue Date” shall mean the date on which a share of Series A Preferred Stock was first issued;

(C) “Convertible Securities” shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, shares (other than Common Stock) or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Additional Shares of Common Stock; and

(D) “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to clause (e) (iii) hereof, deemed to be issued) by the Corporation after the Original Issue Date, other than shares of Common Stock issued or issuable:

(I) to officers, directors or employees of, or consultants to, the Corporation pursuant to stock option or stock purchase plans or agreements on terms approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation;

(II) as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Series A Preferred Stock; or

 

- 3 -


(III) for which adjustment of the Conversion Price is made pursuant to clause (j) or (k) of this paragraph (4).

(ii) Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to subclause (e) (v) hereof) for an Additional Share of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation is less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to, such issue.

(iii) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities then 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 designed to protect against dilution) 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:

(1) no further adjustments 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;

(2) if 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 decrease or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the 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 (provided, however, that no such adjustment of the Conversion Price shall affect Common Stock previously issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock);

(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, the

 

- 4 -


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 for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually 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 upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;

(4) no readjustment pursuant to clause (2) or (3) above shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (a) the Conversion Price on the original adjustment date (before adjustment) and (b) 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;

(5) in the case of any Options which expire by their terms not more than 30 days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustments of the Conversion Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the same manner provided in clause (3) above.

(iv) In the event this Corporation, at any time after the Original Issue Date, shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to subclause (e)(iii) hereof) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately

 

- 5 -


prior to such issue plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued. For the purpose of the above calculation, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be calculated as if (i) all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and all other outstanding evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock had been fully converted into or exchanged for shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such issuance, and (ii) all outstanding rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock (or to acquire evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) had been fully exercised (and had been fully converted and exchanged if, upon such exercise, evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock would be issued) immediately prior to such issuance, but not including in such calculation any additional shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to shares of Preferred Stock, other evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock solely as a result of the adjustment of the respective Conversion Prices (or other conversion ratios or exercise prices) resulting from the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock causing such adjustment.

(v) For purposes of this clause (e), the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows;

(1) If such consideration consists of cash and property, such consideration shall:

(A) insofar an it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;

(B) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and

(C) 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 so received, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

 

- 6 -


(2) If such consideration consists of 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 subclause (e)(iii), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:

(A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable 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 designed to protect against dilution) 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

(B) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against the dilution) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(f) In case:

(i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its retained earnings; or

(ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

(iii) of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, split or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or

(iv) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation;

then the Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock at its address as shown on the books of the Corporation, at least 30 days (or 20 days in any case specified in clause (i) or (ii) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants,

 

- 7 -


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, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, liquidation 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, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

(g) For the purposes of this paragraph (4), the term “Common Stock” shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Corporation on the date of this Certificate of Designations, and (ii) any other class of common stock, including any class resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of such Common Stock consisting solely of changes in par value or from no par value to par value or from par value to no par value.

(h) No fractional share of Common Stock, or scrip representing a fractional share, shall be issuable upon the conversion of any Series A Preferred Stock. If a certificate or certificates representing more than one share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares represented by certificates so surrendered. If any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock would be deliverable upon the conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay, in lieu thereof, in cash the Conversion Price thereof as of the business day immediately preceding the date of such conversion.

(i) Such number of shares of Common Stock as may from time to time be required for such purpose shall be reserved for issuance upon conversion of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

(j) If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time effect a subdivision or stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock then in effect immediately before that subdivision or stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision, stock split or combination, as the case may be, becomes effective.

(k) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive,

 

- 8 -


a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock then in effect by a fraction:

(1) the denominator of which shall be the sum of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution, and

(2) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date;

provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price of Series A Preferred Stock shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price of Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment or issuance of such dividends or distributions.

(l) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of such other securities of the Corporation that they would have received had their Series A Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date, or the record date, of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein during such period.

(m) If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise, then and in each such event the holder of each such share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, exchange,

 

- 9 -


substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(5) Liquidation Preference.

(a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders an amount in cash equal to $1.00 for each share outstanding, plus an amount in cash equal to all declared but unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for liquidation, dissolution or winding up before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of any Junior Securities. If the assets of the Corporation, or the proceeds thereof, are not sufficient to pay in full the liquidation payments payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and any Parity Securities, then the holders of all such shares shall share ratably in such distribution of assets, or the proceeds thereof, in accordance with the amount which would have been payable on such distribution if the amounts to which the holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of such Parity Securities are entitled were paid in full. Except as provided in this paragraph (5) (a), holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any distribution in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

(b) For the purposes of this paragraph (5), neither the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the property or assets of the Corporation nor the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into one or more other corporations shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, voluntary or involuntary unless such voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer, or merger or consolidation, shall be in connection with a plan of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

(6) Voting. In addition to any voting rights provided by law and to any voting rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, as or as part of a separate class or series, pursuant to this Certificate or any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the holder of each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on any matter voted on by holders of Common Stock, voting together as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock, and any other shares entitled to vote in the ordinary course. With respect to any such vote, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast one vote.

 

- 10 -


(7) Reports. So long as any of the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation will furnish the holders thereof with the quarterly and annual financial reports, if any, that the Corporation is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

(8) General Provisions.

(a) The term “person” as used herein means any corporation, partnership, trust, organization, association, other entity or individual.

(b) The term “outstanding,” when used with reference to shares of stock, shall mean issued shares, excluding shares held by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation.

(c) The headings of the paragraphs, subparagraphs, clauses and subclauses of this Certificate of Designations are for convenience of reference only and shall not define, limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS

OF

SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

OF

FIBROGEN, INC.

FIBROGEN, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), pursuant to the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, does hereby make this Certificate of Designations and does hereby state and certify that, pursuant to the authority expressly vested in the Board of Directors of the Corporation by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of Directors has duly adopted the following resolutions:

RESOLVED, that, pursuant to Article FOURTH of the Certificate of Incorporation, which authorizes 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value (“Preferred Stock”), the Board of Directors hereby fixes the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions, of a series of Preferred Stock.

RESOLVED, that each share of such series of Preferred Stock shall rank equally in all respects and shall be subject to the following provisions:

(1) Number and Designation. 7,692,307 shares of the Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall be designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”).

(2) Rank. The Series B Preferred Stock shall, with respect to rights on liquidation, dissolution and winding up, rank prior to all classes of the Corporation’s common stock, $.01 par value (“Common Stock”). The Series B Preferred Stock shall, with respect to rights on liquidation, dissolution and winding up, rank equally with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”). All equity securities of the Corporation to which the Series B Preferred Stock ranks prior (whether with respect to liquidation, dissolution, winding up or otherwise), including the Common Stock, are collectively referred to herein as the “Junior Securities.” All equity securities of the Corporation with which the Series B Preferred Stock ranks on a parity (whether with respect to liquidation, dissolution, winding up or otherwise), including Series A Preferred Stock, are collectively referred to herein as the “Parity Securities.” All equity securities of the Corporation to which the Series B Preferred Stock ranks junior (whether with respect to liquidation, dissolution, winding up or otherwise), are collectively referred to herein as the “Senior Securities”. The respective definitions of Junior Securities, Parity Securities and Senior Securities shall also include any rights, options or warrants exercisable for any of the Junior Securities, Parity


Securities and Senior Securities, as the case may be. The Series B Preferred Stock shall be subject to the creation of Junior Securities, Parity Securities and Senior Securities.

(3) Dividends. The holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, to the extent as, on the same basis as, at the same rate as, and contemporaneously with, cash dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors with respect to shares of any Common Stock or Parity Securities. Such dividends shall be paid to the holders of record at the close of business on the record date specified by the Board of Directors of the Corporation at the time such dividend is declared, provided, however, that such record date shall not be more than 60 days or less than 10 days prior to the applicable dividend payment date.

(4) Conversion.

(a) Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof except as otherwise provided in paragraph (4)(b) below, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $1.30 by the Conversion Price (as defined below) applicable to such share, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be deliverable upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Price”) shall initially be $1.30 per share of Common Stock. Such initial Conversion Price shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each outstanding share of Series B Preferred stock shall automatically convert upon a public offering of Common Stock at a price of at least $2.00 per share if the total aggregate proceeds to the Corporation before underwriting commissions and expenses are at least $10,000,000.

(c) Before any holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for the holder’s shares of Series B Preferred Stock, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for such stock, and, unless such conversion is automatic pursuant to clause (b) above, shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and

 

- 2 -


deliver at such office to such holder of Series B Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made (i) in the case such conversion is automatic pursuant to clause (b) above, upon the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to such offering, and (ii) in all other cases, immediately prior to the close of business on the date of surrender of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted (in either case, the “Conversion Date”), and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or record holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

(d) All shares of Series B Preferred Stock which have been converted as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall forthwith cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof, subject to the provisions of clause (c) of this paragraph (4), to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor.

(e) (i) For the purposes of this clause (e), the following definitions shall apply:

(A) “Options” shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire either Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (as defined below);

(B) “Original Issue Date” shall mean the date on which a share of Series B Preferred Stock was first issued;

(C) “Convertible Securities” shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, shares (other than Common Stock) or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Additional Shares of Common Stock; and

(D) “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to clause (e) (iii) hereof, deemed to be issued) by the Corporation after the Original Issue Date, other than shares of Common Stock issued or issuable:

(I) to officers, directors or employees of, or consultants to, the Corporation pursuant to stock option or stock purchase plans or agreements on terms approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation;

(II) as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Series B Preferred Stock; or

 

- 3 -


(III) for which adjustment of the Conversion Price is made pursuant to clause (j) or (k) of this paragraph (4).

(ii) Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to subclause (e) (v) hereof) for an Additional Share of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation is less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to, such issue.

(iii) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities then 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 designed to protect against dilution) 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:

(1) no further adjustments 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;

(2) if 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 decrease or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the 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 (provided, however, that no such adjustment of the Conversion Price shall affect Common Stock previously issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock);

(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, the

 

- 4 -


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 for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually 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 upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;

(4) no readjustment pursuant to clause (2) or (3) above shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (a) the Conversion Price on the original adjustment date (before adjustment) and (b) 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;

(5) in the case of any Options which expire by their terms not more than 30 days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustments of the Conversion Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the same manner provided in clause (3) above.

(iv) In the event this Corporation, at any time after the Original Issue Date, shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to subclause (e) (iii) hereof) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately

 

- 5 -


prior to such issue plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued. For the purpose of the above calculation, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be calculated as if (i) all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and all other outstanding evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock had been fully converted into or exchanged for shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such issuance, and (ii) all outstanding rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock (or to acquire evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) had been fully exercised (and had been fully converted and exchanged if, upon such exercise, evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock would be issued) immediately prior to such issuance, but not including in such calculation any additional shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to shares of Preferred Stock, other evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible, into or exchangeable for Common Stock or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock solely as a result of the adjustment of the respective Conversion Prices (or other conversion ratios or exercise prices) resulting from the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock causing such adjustment.

(v) For purposes of this clause (e), the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows;

(1) If such consideration consists of cash and property, such consideration shall:

(A) insofar an it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;

(B) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and

(C) 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 so received, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

 

- 6 -


(2) If such consideration consists of 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 subclause (e) (iii), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:

(A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable 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 designed to protect against dilution) 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

(B) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against the dilution) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(f) In case:

(i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its retained earnings; or

(ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

(iii) of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, split or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or

(iv) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution; liquidation or winding up of the Corporation;

then the Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock at its address as shown on the books of the Corporation, at least 30 days (or 20 days in any case specified in clause (i) or (ii) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants,

 

- 7 -


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, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, liquidation 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, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

(g) For the purposes of this paragraph (4), the term “Common Stock” shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Corporation on the date of this Certificate of Designations, and (ii) any other class of common stock, including any class resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of such Common Stock consisting solely of changes in par value or from no par value to par value or from par value to no par value.

(h) No fractional share of Common Stock, or scrip representing a fractional share, shall be issuable upon the conversion of any Series B Preferred Stock. If a certificate or certificates representing more than one share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares represented by certificates so surrendered. If any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock would be deliverable upon the conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay, in lieu thereof, in cash the Conversion Price thereof as of the business day immediately preceding the date of such conversion.

(i) Such number of shares of Common Stock as may from time to time be required for such purpose shall be reserved for issuance upon conversion of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

(j) If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time effect a subdivision or stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock then in effect immediately before that subdivision or stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision, stock split or combination, as the case may be, becomes effective.

(k) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive,

 

- 8 -


a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock then in effect by a fraction;

(1) the denominator of which shall be the sum of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution, and

(2) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date;

provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price of Series B Preferred Stock shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price of Series B Preferred Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment or issuance of such dividends or distributions.

(l) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of such other securities of the Corporation that they would have received had their Series B Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date, or the record date, of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein during such period.

(m) If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise, then and in each such event the holder of each such share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, exchange,

 

- 9 -


substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(5) Liquidation Preference.

(a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders an amount in cash equal to $1.30 for each share outstanding, plus an amount in cash equal to all declared but unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for liquidation, dissolution or winding up before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of any Junior Securities. If the assets of the Corporation, or the proceeds thereof, are not sufficient to pay in full the liquidation payments payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and any Parity Securities, then the holders of all such shares shall share ratably in such distribution of assets, or the proceeds thereof, in accordance with the amount which would have been payable on such distribution if the amounts to which the holders of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of such Parity Securities are entitled were paid in full. Except as provided in this paragraph (5) (a), holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any distribution in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

(b) For the purposes of this paragraph (5), neither the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the property or assets of the Corporation nor the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into one or more other corporations shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, voluntary or involuntary unless such voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer, or merger or consolidation, shall be in connection with a plan of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

(6) Voting. In addition to any voting rights provided by law and to any voting rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, as or as part of a separate class or series, pursuant to this Certificate or any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the holder of each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on any matter voted on by holders of Common Stock, voting together as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock, and any other shares entitled to vote in the ordinary course. With respect to any such vote, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast one vote.

 

- 10 -


(7) Reports. So long as any of the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation will furnish the holders thereof with the quarterly and annual financial reports, if any, that the Corporation is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

(8) General Provisions.

(a) The term “person” as used herein means any corporation, partnership, trust, organization, association, other entity or individual.

(b) The term “outstanding,” when used with reference to shares of stock, shall mean issued shares, excluding shares held by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation.

(c) The headings of the paragraphs, subparagraphs, clauses and subclauses of this Certificate of Designations are for convenience of reference only and shall not define, limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

RESOLVED, that, pursuant to Article FOURTH of the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, which authorizes 35,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value (“Preferred Stock”), the Board of Directors hereby fixes the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions, of a series of Preferred Stock. No shares of the class or series of stock have been issued.

RESOLVED, that each share of such series of Preferred Stock shall rank equally in all respects and shall be subject to the following provisions:

(1) Number and Designation. 13,846,153 shares of the Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall be designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”).

(2) Rank. The Series B Preferred Stock shall, with respect to rights on liquidation, dissolution and winding up, rank prior to all classes of the Corporation’s common stock, $.01 par value (Common Stock). The Series B Preferred Stock shall, with respect to rights on liquidation, dissolution and winding up, rank equally with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock). All equity securities of the Corporation to which the Series B Preferred Stock ranks prior (whether with respect to liquidation, dissolution, winding up or otherwise), including the Common Stock, are collectively referred to herein as the Junior Securities.” All equity securities of the Corporation with which the Series B Preferred Stock ranks on a parity (whether with respect to liquidation, dissolution, winding up or otherwise), including Series A Preferred Stock, are collectively referred to herein as the “Parity Securities.” All equity securities of the Corporation to which the Series B Preferred Stock ranks junior (whether with respect to liquidation, dissolution, winding up or otherwise), are collectively referred to herein as the Senior Securities”. The respective definitions of Junior Securities, Parity Securities and Senior Securities shall also include any rights, options or

warrants exercisable for any of the Junior Securities, Parity Securities and Senior Securities, as the case may be. The Series B Preferred Stock shall be subject to the creation of Junior Securities, Parity Securities and Senior Securities.

(3) Dividends. The holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, to the extent as, on the same basis as, at the same rate as, and contemporaneously with, cash dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors with respect to shares of any Common Stock or Parity Securities. Such dividends shall be paid to the holders of record at the close of business on the record date specified by the Board of Directors of the Corporation at the time such dividend is declared, provided, however, that such record date shall not be more than 60 days or less than 10 days prior to the applicable dividend payment date.

(4) Conversion.

(a) Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof except as otherwise provided in paragraph (4)(b) below, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $1.30 by the Conversion Price (as defined below) applicable to such share, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be deliverable upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Price”) shall initially be $1.30 per share of Common Stock. Such initial Conversion Price shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each outstanding share of Series B Preferred stock shall automatically convert upon a public offering of Common Stock at a price of at least $2.00 per share if the total aggregate proceeds to the Corporation before underwriting commissions and expenses are at least $10,000,000.

(c) Before any holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for the holder’s shares of Series Preferred Stock, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for such stock, and, unless such conversion is automatic pursuant to clause (b) above, shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. The

 

- 2 -


Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series B Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made (i) in the case such conversion is automatic pursuant to clause (b) above, upon the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to such offering, and (ii) in all other cases, immediately prior to the close of business on the date of surrender of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted (in either case, the “Conversion Date”), and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or record holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

(d) All shares of Series B Preferred Stock which have been converted as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall forthwith cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof, subject to the provisions of clause (c) of this paragraph (4), to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor.

(e) (i) For the purposes of this clause (e), the following definitions shall apply:

(A) “Options” shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire either Additional shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (as defined below);

(B) “Original Issue Date” shall mean the date on which a share of Series B Preferred Stock was first issued;

(C) “Convertible Securities” shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, shares (other than Common Stock) or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Additional Shares of Common Stock; and

(D) “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of common stock issued (or, pursuant to clause (e) (iii) hereof, deemed to be issued) by the Corporation after the Original Issue Date, other than shares of Common Stock issued or issuable:

(I) to officers, directors or employees of, or consultants to, the Corporation pursuant to stock option or stock purchase plans or agreements on terms approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation;

(II) as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Series B Preferred Stock; or

 

- 3 -


(III) for which adjustment of the Conversion Price is made pursuant to clause (j) or (k) of this paragraph (4).

(ii) Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to subclause (e) (v) hereof) for an Additional Share of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation is less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to, such issue,

(iii) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities then 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 designed to protect against dilution) 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:

(1) no further adjustments 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;

(2) if 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 decrease or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the 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 (provided, however, that no such adjustment of the Conversion Price shall affect Common Stock previously issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock);

(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, the

 

- 4 -


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 for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually 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 upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;

(4) no readjustment pursuant to clause (2) or (3) above shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (a) the Conversion Price on the original adjustment date (before adjustment) and (b) 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;

(5) in the case of any Options which expire by their terms not more than 30 days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustments of the Conversion Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the same manner provided in clause (3) above.

(iv) In the event this Corporation, at any time after the Original Issue Date, shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common stock deemed to be issued pursuant to subclause (e)(iii) hereof) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately

 

- 5 -


prior to such issue plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued. For the purpose of the above calculation, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be calculated as if (i) all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and all other outstanding evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock had been fully converted into or exchanged for shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such issuance, and (ii) all outstanding rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock (or to acquire evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) had been fully exercised (and had been fully converted and exchanged if, upon such exercise, evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock would be issued) immediately prior to such issuance, but not including in such calculation any additional shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to shares of Preferred Stock, other evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock solely as a result of the adjustment of the respective Conversion Prices (or other conversion ratios or exercise prices) resulting from the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock causing such adjustment.

(v) For purposes of this clause (e), the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows;

(1) If such consideration consists of cash and property, such consideration shall:

(A) insofar an it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;

(B) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and

(C) 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 so received, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

 

- 6 -


(2) If such consideration consists of 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 subclause (e)(iii), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:

(A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable 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 designed to protect against dilution) 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

(B) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against the dilution) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(f) In case:

(i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its retained earnings; or

(ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

(iii) of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, split or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or

(iv) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation;

then the Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock at its address as shown on the books of the Corporation, at least 30 days (or 20 days in any case specified in clause (i) or (ii) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants,

 

- 7 -


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, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, liquidation 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, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

(g) For the purposes of this paragraph (4), the term “Common Stock” shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the corporation on the date of this Certificate of Designations, and (ii) any other class of common stock, including any class resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of such Common Stock consisting solely of changes in par value or from no par value to par value or from par value to no par value.

(h) No fractional share of Common Stock, or scrip representing a fractional share, shall be issuable upon the conversion of any Series B Preferred Stock. If a certificate or certificates representing more than one share of series B Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares represented by certificates so surrendered. If any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock would be deliverable upon the conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay, in lieu thereof, in cash the Conversion Price thereof as of the business day immediately preceding the date of such conversion.

(i) Such number of shares of Common Stock as may from time to time be required for such purpose shall be reserved for issuance upon conversion of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

(j) if the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time effect a subdivision or stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock then in effect immediately before that subdivision or stock split shall be-proportionately decreased. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock then in effect immediately before the Combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision, stock split or combination, as the case may be, becomes effective.

(k) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive,

 

- 8 -


a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock then in effect by a fraction:

(1) the denominator of which shall be the sum of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution, and

(2) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date;

provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price of Series B Preferred Stock shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price of Series B Preferred Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment or issuance of such dividends or distributions.

(l) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of such other securities of the Corporation that they would have received had their Series B Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date, or the record date, of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein during such period.

(m) If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise, then and in each such event the holder of each such share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, exchange,

 

- 9 -


substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(5) Liquidation Preference.

(a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders an amount in cash equal to $1.30 for each share outstanding, plus an amount in cash equal to all declared but unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for liquidation, dissolution or winding up before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of any Junior Securities. If the assets of the Corporation, or the proceeds thereof, are not sufficient to pay in full the liquidation payments payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and any Parity Securities, then the holders of all such shares shall share ratably in such distribution of assets, or the proceeds thereof, in accordance with the amount which would have been payable on such distribution if the amounts to which the holders of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of such Parity Securities are entitled were paid in full. Except as provided in this paragraph (5)(a), holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any distribution in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

(b) For the purposes of this paragraph (5), neither the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the property or assets of the Corporation nor the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into one or more other corporations shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, voluntary or involuntary unless such voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer, or merger or consolidation, shall be in connection with a plan of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

(6) Voting. In addition to any voting rights provided by law and to any voting rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, as or as part of a separate class or series, pursuant to this Certificate or any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the holder of each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on any matter voted on by holders of Common Stock, voting together as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock, and any other shares entitled to vote in the ordinary course. With respect to any such vote, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast one vote.

 

- 10 -


(7) Reports. So long as any of the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation will furnish the holders thereof with the quarterly and annual financial reports, if any, that the Corporation is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

(8) General Provisions.

(a) The term person as used herein means any corporation, partnership, trust, organization, association, other entity or individual.

(b) The term outstanding, when used with reference to shares of stock, shall mean issued shares, excluding shares held by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation.

(c) The headings of the paragraphs, subparagraphs, clauses and subclauses of this Certificate of Designations are for convenience of reference only and shall not define, limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

(4) Conversion.

(a) Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof except as otherwise provided in paragraph (4)(b) below, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $1.60 by the Conversion Price (as defined below) applicable to such share, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion.

holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series C Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made (i) in the case such conversion is automatic pursuant to clause (b) above, upon the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to such offering, and (ii) in all other cases, immediately prior to the close of business on the date of surrender of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be converted (in either case, the “Conversion Date”), and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or record holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

(d) All shares of Series C Preferred Stock which have been converted as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall forthwith cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof, subject to the provisions of clause (c) of this paragraph (4), to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor.

(e) In case:

(i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its retained earnings; or

(ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

(iii) of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, split or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or

(iv) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation; then the Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock at its address as shown on the books of the Corporation, at least 30 days (or 20 days in any case specified in clause (i) or (ii) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants,

 

- 3 -


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, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, liquidation 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, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

(f) For the purposes of this paragraph (4), the term “Common Stock” shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Corporation on the date of this Certificate of Designations, and (ii) any other class of common stock, including any class resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of such Common Stock consisting solely of changes in par value or from no par value to par value or from par value to no par value.

If a certificate or certificates representing more than one share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares represented by certificates so surrendered. If any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock would be deliverable upon the conversion of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay, in lieu thereof, in cash the Conversion Price thereof as of the business day immediately preceding the date of such conversion.

(h) Such number of shares of Common Stock as may from time to time be required for such purpose shall be reserved for issuance upon conversion of outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

(i) If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time effect a subdivision or stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price of the Series C Preferred Stock then in effect immediately before that subdivision or stock split shall be proportionately decreased.

a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price of the Series C Preferred Stock then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price of the Series C Preferred Stock then in effect by a fraction:

(1) the denominator of which shall be the sum of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution, and

(2) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date;

provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price of Series C Preferred Stock shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price of Series C Preferred Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment or issuance of such dividends or distributions.

(k) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of such other securities of the Corporation that they would have received had their Series C Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date, or the record date, of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein during such period

(l) If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise, then and in each such event the holder of each such share of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, exchange,

 

- 5 -


substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series C Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(5) Liquidation Preference.

(a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders an amount in cash equal to $1.60 for each share outstanding, plus an amount in cash equal to all declared but unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for liquidation, dissolution or winding up before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of any Junior Securities. If the assets of the Corporation, or the proceeds thereof, are not sufficient to pay in full the liquidation payments payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and any Parity Securities, then the holders of all such shares shall share ratably in such distribution of assets, or the proceeds thereof, in accordance with the amount which would have been payable on such distribution if the amounts to which the holders of outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of such Parity Securities are entitled were paid in full. Except as provided in this paragraph (5)(a), holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any distribution in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

(b) For the purposes of this paragraph (5), neither the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the property or assets of the Corporation nor the consolidation or merger of the corporation with or into one or more other corporations shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, voluntary or involuntary unless such voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer, or merger or consolidation, shall be in connection with a plan of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

(6) Voting. In addition to any voting rights provided by law and to any voting rights of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, as or as part of a separate class or series, pursuant to this Certificate or any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the holder of each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on any matter voted on by holders of Common Stock, voting together as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock, and any other shares entitled to vote in the ordinary course. With respect to any such vote, each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast one vote.

 

- 6-


(7) Reports. So long as any of the Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation will furnish the holders thereof with the quarterly and annual financial reports, if any, that the Corporation is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

(8) General Provisions.

(a) The term “person” as used herein means any corporation, partnership, trust, organization, association, other entity or individual,

(b) The term “outstanding,” when used with reference to shares of stock, shall mean issued shares, excluding shares held by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation.

Except as provided in this paragraph (5)(a), holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any distribution in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

(b) For the purposes of this paragraph (5), neither the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the property or assets of the Corporation nor the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into one or more other corporations shall be deemed to be a

 

- 4 -

(6) Voting.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each outstanding share of Series B Preferred stock shall automatically convert upon a public offering of Common Stock at a price of at least $2.00 per share if the total aggregate proceeds to the Corporation before underwriting commissions and expenses are at least $10,000,000.

(c) Before any holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for the holder’s shares of Series B Preferred Stock, duly endorsed, at the office of the corporation or of any transfer agent for such stock, and, unless such conversion is automatic pursuant to clause (b) above, shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued.

Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made (i) in the case such conversion is automatic pursuant to clause (b) above, upon the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to such offering, and (ii) in all other cases, immediately prior to the close of business on the date of surrender of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted (in either case, the “Conversion Date”), and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or record holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

(D) “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to clause (e) (iii) hereof, deemed to be issued) by the Corporation after the Original Issue Date, other than shares of Common Stock issued or issuable:

(I) to officers, directors or employees of, or consultants to, the Corporation pursuant to stock option or stock purchase plans or agreements on terms approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation;

(II) as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Series B Preferred Stock; or

 

- 3 -


(III) for which adjustment of the Conversion Price is made pursuant to clause (j) or (k) of this paragraph (4).

(ii) Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to subclause (e) (v) hereof) for an Additional Share of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the corporation is less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to, such issue.

(iii) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities then 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 designed to protect against dilution) 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:

(1) no further adjustments 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;

(2) if 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 decrease or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the 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 (provided, however, that no such adjustment of the Conversion Price shall affect Common Stock previously issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock);

(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, the

 

- 4 -


Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record data 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 for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually 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 upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such options were actually exercised;

(4) no readjustment pursuant to clause (2) or (3) above shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (a) the Conversion Price on the original adjustment date (before adjustment) and (b) 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;

(5) in the case of any Options which expire by their terms not more than 30 days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustments of the Conversion Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the same manner provided in clause (3) above.

(iv) In the event this Corporation, at any time after the Original Issue Date, shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to subclause (e) (iii) hereof) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately

 

- 5 -


prior to such issue plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued. For the purpose of the above calculation, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be calculated as if (i) all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and all other outstanding evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock had been fully converted into or exchanged for shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such issuance, and (ii) all outstanding rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock (or to acquire evidences of indebtedness, shares or other Securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) had been fully exercised (and had been fully converted and exchanged if, upon such exercise, evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock would be issued) immediately prior to such issuance, but not including in such calculation any additional shares of Common stock issuable with respect to shares of Preferred Stock, other evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock solely as a result of the adjustment of the respective Conversion Prices (or other conversion ratios or exercise prices) resulting from the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock causing such adjustment.

(v) For purposes of this clause (e), the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows;

(1) If such consideration consists of cash and property, such consideration shall:

(A) insofar an it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;

(B) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and

(C) 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 so received, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

 

- 6 -


(2) If such consideration consists of 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 subclause (e) (iii), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:

(A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable 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 designed to protect against dilution) 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

(B) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against the dilution) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(f) In case:

(i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its retained earnings; or

(ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

(iii) of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, split or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or

(iv) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation;

then the Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock at its address as shown on the books of the corporation, at least 30 days (or 20 days in any case specified in clause (i) or (ii) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants,

 

- 7 -


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, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, liquidation 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, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

(g) For the purposes of this paragraph (4), the term “Common Stock” shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Corporation on the date of this Certificate of Designations, and (ii) any other class of common stock, including any class resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of such Common Stock consisting solely of changes in par value or from no par value to par value or from par value to no par value.

(h) No fractional share of Common Stock, or scrip representing a fractional share, shall be issuable upon the conversion of any Series B Preferred Stock. If a certificate or certificates representing more than one share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares represented by certificates so surrendered. If any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock would be deliverable upon the conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay, in lieu thereof, in cash the Conversion Price thereof as of the business day immediately preceding the date of such conversion.

(i) Such number of shares of Common Stock as may from time to time be required for such purpose shall be reserved for issuance upon conversion of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

(j) If the corporation shall at any time or from time to time effect a subdivision or stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock then in effect immediately before that subdivision or stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision, stock split or combination, as the case may be, becomes effective.

(k) In the event the corporation at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive,

 

- 8 -


a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock then in effect by a fraction:

(1) the denominator of which shall be the sum of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution, and

(2) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date;

provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price of Series B Preferred Stock shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price of Series B Preferred Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment or issuance of such dividends or distributions.

(l) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Series B Preferred Stack shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of such other securities of the Corporation that they would have received had their Series B Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date, or the record date, of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein during such period.

(m) If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise, then and in each such event the holder of each such share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, exchange,

 

- 9 -


substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(5) Liquidation Preference.

(a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders an amount in cash equal to $1.30 for each share outstanding, plus an amount in cash equal to all declared but unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for liquidation, dissolution or winding up before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of any Junior Securities. If the assets of the Corporation, or the proceeds thereof, are not sufficient to pay in full the liquidation payments payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and any Parity Securities, then the holders of all such shares shall share ratably in such distribution of assets, or the proceeds thereof, in accordance with the amount which would have been payable on such distribution if the amounts to which the holders of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of such Parity Securities are entitled were paid in full. Except as provided in this paragraph (5) (a), holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any distribution in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

(b) For the purposes of this paragraph (5), neither the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the property or assets of the Corporation nor the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into one or more other corporations shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, voluntary or involuntary unless such voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer, or merger or consolidation, shall be in connection with a plan of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation.

(6) Voting. In addition to any voting rights provided by law and to any voting rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, as or as part of a separate class or series, pursuant to this Certificate or any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the holder of each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on any matter voted on by holders of Common Stock, voting together as a single class with the holders of the Common stock, and any other shares entitled to vote in the ordinary course. With respect to any such vote, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast one vote.

 

- 10 -


(7) Reports. So long as any of the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation will furnish the holders thereof with the quarterly and annual financial reports, if any, that the Corporation is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

(8) General Provisions.

(a) The term “person” as used herein means any corporation, partnership, trust, organization, association, other entity or individual.

(b) The term “outstanding,” when used with reference to shares of stock, shall mean issued shares, excluding shares held by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation.

(c) The headings of the paragraphs, subparagraphs, clauses and subclauses of this Certificate of Designations are for convenience of reference only and shall not define, limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

The Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock shall, with respect to rights on liquidation, dissolution and winding up, rank junior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) and the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”). All equity securities of the Corporation to which the Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock ranks prior (whether with respect to liquidation,

Such dividends shall be paid to the holders of record at the close of business on the record date specified by the Board of Directors of the Corporation at the time such dividend is declared, provided, however, that such record date shall not be more than 60 days after or less than 10 days prior to the applicable dividend payment date.

(4) Conversion.

(a) Each share of Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof except as otherwise provided in paragraph (4)(b) below, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $1.60 by the Conversion Price (as defined below) applicable to such share, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be deliverable upon conversion of shares of Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Price”) shall initially be $1.60 per share of Common Stock. Such initial Conversion Price shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each outstanding share of Royalty Acquisition Preferred stock shall automatically convert upon a public offering of Common Stock at a price of at least $2.00 per share if the total aggregate proceeds to the Corporation before underwriting commissions and expenses are at least $10,000,000.

The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made (i) in the case such conversion is

 

- 2 -


automatic pursuant to clause (b) above, upon the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to such offering, and (ii) in all other cases, immediately prior to the close of business on the date of surrender of the shares of Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock to be converted (in either case, the “Conversion Date”), and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or record holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

(d) All shares of Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock which have been converted as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any to receive notices and to vote, shall forthwith cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof, subject to the provisions of clause (c) of this paragraph (4), to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor.

(e) In case:

(i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its retained earnings; or

(ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

(iii) of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, split or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or

(f) For the purposes of this paragraph (4), the term “Common Stock” shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Corporation on the date of this Certificate of Designations, and (ii) any other class of common stock, including any class resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of such Common Stock consisting solely of changes in par value or from no par value to par value or from par value to no par value.

(g) No fractional share of Common Stock, or scrip representing a fractional share, shall be issuable upon the conversion of any Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock.

- 3 -


of the aggregate number of shares represented by certificates so surrendered. If any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock would be deliverable upon the conversion of any shares of Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay, in lieu thereof, in cash the Conversion Price thereof as of the business day immediately preceding the date of such conversion.

(h) Such number of shares of Common Stock as may from time to time be required for such purpose shall be reserved for issuance upon conversion of outstanding shares of Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock.

(i) If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time effect a subdivision or stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price of the Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock than in effect immediately before that subdivision or stock split shall be proportionately decreased If the Corporation shall at any time or film time to time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price of the Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision, stock split or combination, as the case may be, becomes effective.

(j) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price of the Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price of the Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock then in effect by a fraction:

(1) the denominator of which shall be the sum of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution, and

(2) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date;

provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price of Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price of Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment or issuance of such dividends or distributions.

(k) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of such other securities of the Corporation that they would have received had their Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date, or the record date, of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date,

 

- 4 -


retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein during such period.

(l) If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise, then and in each such event the holder of each such share of Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(5) Liquidation, Preference.

(a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders an amount in cash equal to $1.60 for each share outstanding, plus an amount in cash equal to all declared but unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for liquidation, dissolution or winding up before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of any Junior Securities. If the assets of the Corporation, or the proceeds thereof, are not sufficient to pay in full the liquidation payments payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock and any Parity Securities, then the holders of all such shares shall share ratably in such distribution of asses, or the proceeds thereof, in accordance with the amount which would have been payable on such distribution if the amounts to which the holders of outstanding shares of Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of such Parity Securities are entitled were paid in full. Except as provided in this paragraph (5)(a), holders of Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any distribution in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

(b) For the purposes of this paragraph (5), neither the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the property or assets of the Corporation nor the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into one or more other corporations shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, voluntary or involuntary unless such voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer, or merger or consolidation, shall be in connection with a plan of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

(6) Voting. In addition to any voting rights provided by law and to any voting rights of the holders of the Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock, as or as part of a separate class or series, pursuant to this Certificate or any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the holder of each outstanding share of Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on any matter voted on by holders of Common Stock, voting together as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock, and any other shares entitled to vote in the ordinary course. With respect to any such vote, each share of Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast one vote.

(7) Reports. So long as any of the Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation will furnish the holders thereof with the quarterly and annual

(ii) Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to subclause (e)(v) hereof) for an Additional Share of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation is less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to, such issue.

(iii) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities then 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 designed to protect against dilution) 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:

(1) no further adjustments 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;

(2) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provides with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation, or decrease or increase in the number of shares of

 

- 3 -


Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the 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 (provided, however, that no such adjustment of the Conversion Price shall affect Common Stock previously issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock);

(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, the 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 this 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 for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually 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 upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;

(4) no readjustment pursuant to clause (2) or (3) above shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (a) the Conversion Price on the original adjustment date (before adjustment) and (b) 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;

(5) in the case of any Options which expire by their terms not more than 30 days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustments of the Conversion Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the same manner provided in clause (3) above.

(iv) In the event this Corporation, at any time after the Original Issue Date, shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to subclause (e)(iii) hereof) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total


number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued. For the purpose of the above calculation, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be calculated as if (i) all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and all other outstanding evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock had been fully converted into or exchanged for shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such issuance, and (ii) all outstanding rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock (or to acquire evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) had been fully exercised (and had been fully converted and exchanged if, upon such exercise, evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock would be issued) immediately prior to such issuance, but not including in such calculation any additional shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to shares of Preferred Stock, other evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock solely as a result of the adjustment of the respective Conversion Prices (or other conversion ratios or exercise prices) resulting from the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock causing such adjustment.

(v) For purposes of this clause (e), the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows;

(I) If such consideration consists of cash and property, such consideration shall:

(A) insofar an it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;

(B) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and

(C) 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 so received, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(2) If such consideration consists of 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 subclause (e)(iii), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:

(A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable 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 designed to protect against dilution) 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

(B) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against the dilution) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(f) In case:

(i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its retained earnings; or

(ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

(iii) of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, split or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or

(iv) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation;

then the Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock at its address as shown on the books of the Corporation, at least 30 days (or 20 days in any case specified in clause (i) or (ii) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants, 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, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, liquidation 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, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

(g) For the purposes of this paragraph (4), the term “Common Stock” shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Corporation on the date of this Certificate of Designations, and (ii) any other class of common stock, including any class resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of such Common Stock consisting solely of changes in par value or from no par value to par value or from par value to no par value.

(h) No fractional share of Common Stock, or scrip representing a fractional share, shall be issuable upon the conversion of any Series C Preferred Stock. If a certificate or certificates representing more than one share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares represented by certificates so surrendered. If any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock would be deliverable upon the conversion of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay, in lieu thereof, in cash the Conversion Price thereof as of the


business day immediately preceding the date of such conversion.

(i) Such number of shares of Common Stock as may from time to time be required for such purpose shall be reserved for issuance upon conversion of outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

(j) If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time effect a subdivision or stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price of the Series C Preferred Stock then in effect immediately before that subdivision or stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price of the Series C Preferred Stock then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision, stock split or combination, as the case may be, becomes effective.

(k) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price of the Series C Preferred Stock then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price of the Series C Preferred Stock then in effect by a fraction:

(1) the denominator of which shall be the sum of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution, and

(2) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date;

provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price of Series C Preferred Stock shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price of Series C Preferred Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment or issuance of such dividends or distributions.

(l) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of such other securities of the Corporation that they would have received had their Series C Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date, or the record date, of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein during such period.

(m) If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series C


Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise, then and in each such event the holder of each such share of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series C Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(5) Liquidation Preference.

(a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders an amount in cash equal to $2.00 for each share outstanding, plus an amount in cash equal to all declared but unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for liquidation, dissolution or winding up before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of any Junior Securities. If the assets of the Corporation, or the proceeds thereof, are not sufficient to pay in full the liquidation payments payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and any Parity Securities, then the holders of all such shares shall share ratably in such distribution of assets, or the proceeds thereof, in accordance with the amount which would have been payable on such distribution if the amounts to which the holders of outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of such Parity Securities are entitled were paid in M. Except as provided in this paragraph (5)(a), holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any distribution in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

(b) For the purposes of this paragraph (5), neither the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cask shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the property or assets of the Corporation nor the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into one or more other corporations shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, voluntary or involuntary unless such voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer, or merger or consolidation, shall be in connection with a plan of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

(6) Voting. In addition to any voting rights provided by law and to any voting rights of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, as or as part of a separate class or series, pursuant to this Certificate or any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the holder of each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on any matter voted on by holders of Common Stock, voting together as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock, and any other shares entitled to vote in the ordinary course. With respect to any such vote, each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast one vote.

(7) Reports. So long as any of the Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation will furnish the holders thereof with the quarterly and annual financial reports, if any, that the Corporation is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.


(8) General Provisions.

(a) The term “person” as used herein means any corporation, partnership, trust, organization, association, other entity or individual.

(b) The term “outstanding,” when used with reference to shares of stock, shall mean issued shares, excluding shares held by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation.

(c) The headings of the paragraphs, subparagraphs, clauses and subclauses of this Certificate of Designations are for convenience of reference only and shall not define, limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, FIBROGEN, Inc. has caused this Certificate of Designations to be signed and attested by the undersigned this 30th day of March, 1998.

RESOLVED, that, pursuant to Article FOURTH of the Certificate of Incorporation, which authorizes 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value (“Preferred Stock”), the Board of Directors hereby fixes the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions, of a series of Preferred Stock.

RESOLVED, that each share of such series of Preferred Stock shall rank equally in all respects and shall be subject to the following provisions:

(1) Number and Designation. 909,091 shares of the Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall be designated as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”).

(2) Rank. The Series D Preferred Stock shall, with respect to rights on liquidation, dissolution and winding up, rank prior to all classes of the Corporation’s common stock, $.01 par value (“Common Stock”) and the Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock shall, with respect to rights on liquidation, dissolution and winding up, rank equally with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”), the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) and the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”), All equity securities of the Corporation to which the Series D Preferred Stock ranks prior (whether with respect to liquidation, dissolution, winding tip or otherwise), including the Common Stock, are collectively referred to herein as the “Junior Securities.” All equity securities of the Corporation with which the Series D Preferred Stock ranks on a parity (whether with respect to liquidation, dissolution, winding up or otherwise), including Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock, are collectively referred to herein as the “Parity Securities.” All equity securities of the Corporation to which the Series D Preferred Stock ranks junior (whether with respect to liquidation, dissolution, winding up or


otherwise), are collectively referred to herein as the “Senior Securities”. The respective definitions of Junior Securities, Parity Securities and Senior Securities shall also include any rights, options or warrants exercisable for any of the Junior Securities, Parity Securities and Senior Securities, as the case may be. The Series D Preferred Stock shall be subject to the creation of Junior Securities, Parity Securities and Senior Securities.

(3) Dividends.

Such dividends shall be paid to the holders of record at the close of business on the record date specified by the Board of Directors of the Corporation at the time such dividend is declared, provided, however, that such record date shall not be more than 60 days or less than 10 days prior to the applicable dividend payment date.

(4) Conversion.

(a) Each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof except as otherwise provided in paragraph (4)(b) below, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and non assessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $5.50 by the Conversion Price (as defined below) applicable to such share, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be deliverable upon conversion of shares of Series D Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Price”) shall initially be $5.50 per share of Common Stock. Such initial Conversion Price shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each outstanding share of Series D Preferred stock shall automatically convert upon a public offering of Common Stock if the total aggregate proceeds to the Corporation before underwriting commissions and expenses are at least $10,000,000.

(c) Before any holder of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for the holder’s shares of Series D Preferred Stock, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for such stock, and, unless such conversion is automatic pursuant to clause (h) above, shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which such

 

2


holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series D Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made (i) in the case such conversion is automatic pursuant to clause (b) above, upon the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to such offering, and (ii) in all other cases, immediately prior to the close of business on the date of surrender of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be converted (in either case, the “Conversion Date”), and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or record holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

(d) All shares of Series D Preferred Stock which have been converted as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall forthwith cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof, subject to the provisions of clause (c) of this paragraph (4), to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor.

(e) In case:

(i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its retained earnings; or

(ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

(iii) of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, split or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or

(iv) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation;

then the Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock at its address as shown on the books of the Corporation, at least 30 days (or 20 days in any case specified in clause (1) or (ii) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to

 

3


be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants, 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, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, liquidation 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, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

(f) For the purposes of this paragraph (4), the term “Common Stock” shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Corporation on the date of this Certificate of Designations, and (ii) any other class of common stock, including any class resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of such Common Stock consisting solely of changes in par value or from no par value to par value or from par value to no par value.

(g) No fractional share of Common Stock, or scrip representing a fractional share, shall be issuable upon the conversion of any Series D Preferred Stock. If a certificate or certificates representing more than one share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares represented by certificates so surrendered. If any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock would be deliverable upon the conversion of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay, in lieu thereof; in cash the Conversion Price thereof as of the business day immediately preceding the date of such conversion.

(h) Such number of shares of Common Stock as may from time to time be required for such purpose shall be reserved for issuance upon conversion of outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock.

(i) If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time effect a subdivision or stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock then in effect immediately before that subdivision or stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision, stock split or combination, as the case may be, becomes effective.

(j) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common

 

4


Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock then in effect by a fraction:

(1) the denominator of which shall be the sum of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution, and

(2) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date;

provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price of Series D Preferred Stock shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price of Series D Preferred Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment or issuance of such dividends or distributions.

(k) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of such other securities of the Corporation that they would have received had their Series D Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date, or the record date, of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein during such period.

(l) If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise, then and in each such event the holder of each such share of Series D Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of

 

5


the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series D Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(5) Liquidation Preference.

(a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders an amount in cash equal to $5.50 for each share outstanding, plus an amount in cash equal to all declared but unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for liquidation, dissolution or winding up before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of any Junior Securities. If the assets of the Corporation, or the proceeds thereof, are not sufficient to pay in full the liquidation payments payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Stock and any Parity Securities, then the holders of all such shares shall share ratably in such distribution of assets, or the proceeds thereof, in accordance with the amount which would have been payable on such distribution if the amounts to which the holders of outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of such Parity Securities are entitled were paid in full. Except as provided in this paragraph (5)(a), holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any distribution in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

(b) For the purposes of this paragraph (5), neither the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the property or assets of the Corporation nor the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into one or more other corporations shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, voluntary or involuntary unless such voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer, or merger or consolidation, shall be in connection with a plan of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

(6) Voting. In addition to any voting rights provided by law and to any voting rights of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock, as or as part of a separate class or series, pursuant to this Certificate or any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the holder of each outstanding share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on any matter voted on by holders of Common Stock, voting together as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock, and any other shares entitled to vote in the ordinary course. With respect to any such vote, each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast one vote.

(7) Reports. So long as any of the Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation will furnish the holders thereof with the quarterly and annual financial reports, if any, that the Corporation is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

(8) General Provisions.

(a) The term “person” as used herein means any corporation, partnership, trust, organization, association, other entity or individual.

SECTION 151 OF THE

2


1. Designation. The series of Preferred Stock shall be designated the “Series E Preferred Stock” (“Series E Preferred”) and shall consist of 12,917,595 shares. The “Series A Preferred Stock” (“Series A Preferred”), the “Series B Preferred Stock” (“Series B Preferred”), the Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred”), the “Series D Preferred Stock” (“Series D Preferred”), the Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock (“Royalty Acquisition Preferred”) and the Series E Preferred and any other series of Preferred Stock authorized by the Board of Directors of this Corporation are hereinafter referred to as “Preferred Stock” or “Preferred.”

2. Dividend Rate and Rights.

 

  (a) Dividends. Holders of the Series E Preferred, in preference to the holders of Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation (“Junior Stock”), shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, but only out of funds that are legally available therefor, noncumulative cash dividends at the rate of eight percent (8%) of the “Original Issue Price” per annum on each outstanding share of Series E Preferred (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, reclassifications, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares). The Original Issue Price of the Series E Preferred shall be Four Dollars and Forty Nine Cents ($4.49) per share (which amount shall be subject to adjustment whenever there shall occur a stock split, combination, reclassification or other similar event involving the Series E Preferred).

 

  (b) Conversion of Dividends. In the event of the conversion of any shares of Series E Preferred pursuant to Section 5 hereof, all declared and unpaid dividends on such shares of Series E Preferred will be canceled and no dividends will be payable in respect of such shares of Series E Preferred, but instead the amount of declared but unpaid dividends on such shares of Series E Preferred will be taken into account in determining the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series E Preferred are convertible, as provided in Section 5 hereof.

 

  (c) Dividends in Kind. In the event the Corporation shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of Junior Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution with respect to the Junior Stock payable in (i) securities other than shares of Common Stock of the Corporation or (ii) assets, then and in each such event the holders of Series E Preferred shall receive, at the same time such distribution is made with respect to Junior Stock, the number of securities or such other assets of the Corporation which they would have received had their Series E Preferred been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the record date for determining holders of Junior Stock entitled to receive such distribution.

 

3


3. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

 

  (a) Treatment at Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

 

  (1) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, merger (where a change of control occurs), sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, (any of such events referred to herein as a “Liquidity Event”) before any distribution may be made with respect to the Junior Stock, holders of each share of Series E Preferred shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to holders of the Corporation’s capital stock of all classes, whether such assets are capital, surplus, or capital earnings, an amount equal to the Original Issue Price (which amount shall be subject to equitable adjustment whenever there shall occur a stock dividend, combination, split, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event involving the Series E Preferred) plus all declared and unpaid dividends thereon (collectively, the “Liquidation Amount”). If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series E Preferred the full amount of the Liquidation Amount to which they shall be entitled, the holders of shares of Series E Preferred shall share ratably in any distribution of assets according to the amounts which would be payable with respect to the Series E Preferred held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to said shares were paid in full

 

  (2) Following any Reorganization described in Section 3(b) below, and upon completion of the distribution required by Section 3(a)(1) above, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed pursuant to Section 3(a)(3) below. In all other Liquidity Events, upon completion of the distribution required by Section 3(a)(1) above the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed to the holders of the Preferred Stock (other than the Series E Preferred), in accordance with the respective Certificates of Designation of Powers, Preferences and Rights of such series of Preferred Stock, or the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, as applicable.

 

  (3)

Upon completion of the distribution required by Section 3(a)(1) above, and Section 3(a)(2) above if applicable, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution shall be distributed to the holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock (other than the Series E Preferred) on an as converted to Common Stock basis, until each of such holders receives with respect to each Common Stock share equivalent up to, but not more than, the amount paid to with respect to each share of Series E

 

4


  Preferred pursuant to Section 3(a)(1) above. If the assets of the Corporation are not adequate to pay the amounts set forth in this Section 3(a)(3), the assets shall be distributed ratably amongst the holders of capital stock entitled to such distribution, on an as-converted to common stock basis.

 

  (4) Upon completion of the distribution required by Sections 3(a)(1), (2) and (3) above, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed to the holders of the Preferred Stock and the holders of the Common Stock on a pro-rata basis assuming that each share of Preferred Stock has been converted into Common Stock.

 

  (b) Treatment of Reorganizations. Any Reorganization (as such term is defined in Section 5(f)), shall be regarded as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 3; provided, however, that each holder of Series E Preferred shall have the right to elect the benefits of the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof, if applicable, in lieu of receiving payment of amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation pursuant to this Section 3.

 

  (c) Distributions in Cash. The Liquidation Amount shall in all events be paid in cash; provided, however, that if the Liquidation Amount is payable in connection with a Reorganization, then each holder of the Series E Preferred may, at its election, receive payment of the Liquidation Amount in the same form of consideration as is payable with respect to the Junior Stock. Wherever a distribution provided for in this Section 3 is payable in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

4. Voting Power. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 7 hereof, or as required by law, each holder of Series E Preferred shall be entitled to vote on all matters and shall be entitled to that number of votes equal to the largest number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such holder’s shares of Series E Preferred could be converted, pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, at the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such matter or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholder is solicited. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, the holders of shares of Series E Preferred and Common Stock shall vote together as a single class on all matters. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Series E Preferred held by each holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward).

 

5


5. Conversion into Common Stock. The holders of the Series E Preferred shall have the following rights with respect to the conversion of the Series E Preferred into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Rights”):

 

  (a) General. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 5, any share of the Series E Preferred may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time into fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Corporation. The number of shares of Common Stock to which a holder of Series E Preferred shall be entitled upon conversion shall be the product obtained by multiplying the Applicable Conversion Rate (determined as provided in Section 5(b)) by the number of shares of Series E Preferred being converted.

 

  (b) Applicable Conversion Rate. The conversion rate in effect at any time (the “Applicable Conversion Rate”) shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Original Issue Price by the Applicable Conversion Value, calculated as provided in Section 5(c).

 

  (c) Applicable Conversion Value. The Applicable Conversion Value shall be the Original Issue Price, except that such amount be adjusted from time to time in accordance with Section 5(d).

 

  (d) Adjustments to Applicable Conversion Values.

 

  (1) Conversion Events.

 

  (A) Upon Sale of Common Stock. If the Corporation shall, while there are any shares of Series E Preferred outstanding, issue or sell (or in accordance with Section 5(d)(1)(B) below is deemed to have issued or sold) shares of its Common Stock without consideration or at a price per share less than the Applicable Conversion Value in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then in each such case such Applicable Conversion Value for the Series E Preferred, upon each such issuance or sale, except as hereinafter provided, shall be lowered so as to be equal to an amount determined by multiplying the Applicable Conversion Values by a fraction;

 

  (i)

the numerator of which shall be (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock, plus (b) the number of shares of Common Stock which the net aggregate consideration, if any, received or to be received by the Corporation (in accordance with the Net Consideration Per Share in the case of warrants, options or any other rights with respect to convertible or exchangeable securities) for the total number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the Applicable

 

6


  Conversion Value in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and

 

  (ii) the denominator of which shall be (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock plus (b) the number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued;

provided that for the purpose of clause (i) and (ii) of this Subsection 5(d)(1)(A), all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and other convertible securities shall be deemed to be outstanding.

 

  (B) Upon Issuance of Warranties, Options and Rights to Common Stock.

 

  (i)

For the purpose of this Section 5(d)(1), the issuance of any warrants, options, subscriptions, or purchase rights with respect to shares of Common Stock and the issuance of any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (or the issuance of any warrants, options or any rights with respect to such convertible or exchangeable securities) shall be deemed an issuance of such Common Stock at such time if the Net Consideration Per Share (as hereinafter determined) which may be received by the Corporation for such Common Stock shall be less than the Applicable Conversion Value at the time of such issuance. Any obligation, agreement, or undertaking to issue warrants, options, subscriptions, or purchase rights at any time in the future shall be deemed to be an issuance at the time such obligation, agreement or undertaking is made or arises. No adjustment of the Applicable Conversion Value shall be made under this Section 5(d)(1) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants, options, subscriptions, or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any conversion or exchange rights in any convertible securities if any adjustment shall previously have been made or deemed not required hereunder, upon the issuance of any such warrants, options, or subscription or purchase rights or upon the issuance of any convertible securities (or upon the

 

7


  issuance of any warrants, options or any rights therefor) as above provided.

 

  (ii) Should the Net Consideration Per Share of any such warrants, options, subscriptions, or purchase rights or convertible securities be decreased from time to time (other than as a result of a stock split, stock dividend or other similar event), then, upon the effectiveness of each such change, the Applicable Conversion Value shall be adjusted to such Applicable Conversion Value as would have obtained (1) had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such warrants, options, rights, or convertible securities been made upon the basis of the decreased Net Consideration per share of such securities, and (2) had adjustments made to the Applicable Conversion Value since the date of issuance of such securities been made to the Applicable Conversion Value as adjusted pursuant to (1) above. Any adjustment of the Applicable Conversion Value with respect to this Section 5(d)(1)(B) which relates to warrants, options, subscriptions, purchase rights or convertible securities with respect to shares of Common Stock shall be disregarded if, as, when and to the extent such warranties, options, subscriptions, purchase rights or convertible securities expire or are cancelled without being exercised or converted, so that the Applicable Conversion Value effective immediately upon such cancellation or expiration shall be equal to the Applicable Conversion Value in effect at the time of the issuance of the expired or cancelled warrants, options, subscriptions, purchase rights, or convertible securities with such additional adjustments as would have been made to all Applicable Conversion Value had the expired or cancelled warrants, options, subscriptions, purchase rights or convertible securities not been issued.

For purposes of this paragraph, the “Net Consideration Per Share” which may be received by the Corporation shall be determined as follows:

(a) The “Net Consideration Per Share” shall mean the amount equal to the total amount of consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for the issuance of such warrants, options, subscriptions, or other purchase rights or convertible or exchangeable securities, plus the minimum amount of consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation

 

8


upon exercise or conversion thereof, divided by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued if all such warrants, options, subscriptions, or other purchase rights or convertible or exchangeable securities were exercised, exchanged, or converted.

(b) The “Net Consideration Per Share” which may be received by the Corporation shall be determined in each instance as of the date of issuance of warrants, options, subscriptions, or other purchase rights or convertible or exchangeable securities without giving effect to any possible future upward price adjustments or rate adjustments which may be applicable with respect to such warrants, options, subscriptions, or other purchase rights or convertible exchangeable securities.

 

  (C) Stock Dividends. In the event the Corporation shall make or issue a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock or securities of the Corporation convertible into or otherwise exchangeable for the Common Stock of the Corporation, then such Common Stock or other securities issued in payment of such dividend shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration (except for dividends payable in shares of Common Stock payable pro rata to holders of Series E Preferred and to holders of any other class of stock).

 

  (D) Consideration Other than Cash. For purposes of this Section 5(d)(1), if a part or all of the consideration received by the Corporation in connection with the issuance of shares of the Common Stock or the issuance of any of the securities described in this Section 5(d) consists of property other than cash, such consideration shall be deemed to have a fair market value as is reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

 

  (E)

Exceptions. This Section 5(d)(1) shall not apply under any of the circumstances which would constitute an Extraordinary Common Stock Event (as hereinafter defined in Section 5(d)(2)). Further, the provisions of this Section 5(d) shall not apply to (i) shares issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock, (ii) Common Stock and/or bona fide options (and the shares issuable upon exercise thereof) issued to employees, directors and consultants of the Corporation pursuant to written stock option or stock purchase plans or arrangements that have been approved by the stockholders of the Corporation (within one year of the date of adoption), or (iii)

 

9


  shares issued in connection with the exercise of convertible securities, warrants or options or other contractual obligations in connection with the rollup of Skin Sciences, Inc. into the Corporation, outstanding as of the date of the first sale of Series E Preferred.

 

  (2) Upon Extraordinary Common Stock Event. Upon the happening of an Extraordinary Common Stock Event (as hereinafter defined), the Applicable Conversion Value for the Series E Preferred shall, simultaneously with the happening of such Extraordinary Common Stock Event, be adjusted by multiplying the then effective Applicable Conversion Value with respect to the Series E Preferred by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Extraordinary Common Stock Event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such Extraordinary Common Stock Event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Applicable Conversion Value. The Applicable Conversion Value for the Series E Preferred shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive Extraordinary Common Stock Event or Events.

“Extraordinary Common Stock Event” shall mean (i) the issue of additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock or on any class or series of preferred stock, unless made pro rata to holders of Series E Preferred, (ii) a subdivision of outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) a combination of outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock.

 

  (e) Capital Reorganization or Reclassification. If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series E Preferred shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend or distribution provided for elsewhere in this Section 5 or by a Reorganization), then and in each such event, the holder of each share of Series E Preferred shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such capital reorganization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series E Preferred might have been converted immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification or other change.

 

10


  (f) Capital Reorganization, Merger or Sale of Assets. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 5) or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation or other entity or person (other than the merger of a wholly or majority owned subsidiary into the Corporation), or any other corporate reorganization, in which the stockholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, own less than fifty percent (50%) of the Corporation’s voting power immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s properties and assets to any other person, or the sale of a majority of the voting securities of the Corporation in one transaction or a series of related transactions (any of which events is herein referred to as a “Reorganization”) then as a part of such Reorganization, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series E Preferred shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series E Preferred, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation, or of the successor corporation resulting from such Reorganization, to which such holder would have been entitled if such holder had converted its shares of Series E Preferred immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series E Preferred after the Reorganization, to the end that the provisions of this Section 5 (including adjustment of the Applicable Conversion Value then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred) shall be applicable after that event in as nearly equivalent a manner as may be practicable.

Upon the occurrence of a Reorganization, under circumstances which make the preceding paragraph applicable, each holder of Series E Preferred shall have the option of electing treatment for his shares of Series E Preferred under either this Section 5(f) or Section 3 hereof, notice of which election shall be submitted in writing to the Corporation at its principal offices no later than ten (10) business days before the effective date of such event.

 

  (g) Certificate as to Adjustments; Notice by Corporation. In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Applicable Conversion Rate, the Corporation at its expense will furnish each holder of Preferred Stock with a certificate, executed by the president and chief financial officer (or in the absence of a person designated as the chief financial officer, by the treasurer) showing such adjustment or readjustment, and stating in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.

 

  (h)

Exercise of Conversion Privilege. To exercise its conversion privilege, a holder of Series E Preferred shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing the shares being converted to the Corporation at its principal office, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at that office that such holder elects to convert

 

11


  such shares. Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be issued. The certificate or certificates for shares of Series E Preferred surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by proper assignment thereof to the Corporation or in blank. The date when such written notice is received by the Corporation, together with the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series E Preferred being converted, shall be the “Conversion Date.” As promptly as practicable after the Conversion Date, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver to the holder of the shares of Series E Preferred being converted, or on its written order, such certificate or certificates as it may request for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series E Preferred in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5, and cash, as provided in Section 5(i), in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date, and at such time the rights of the holder as holder of the converted shares of Series E Preferred shall cease and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares of Common Stock represented thereby. The Corporation shall pay any taxes payable with respect to the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series E Preferred, other than any taxes payable with respect to income by the holders thereof.

 

  (i) Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares. The Corporation may, if it so elects, issue fractional shares of Common Stock or script representing fractional shares upon the conversion of shares of Series E Preferred. If the Corporation does not elect to issue fractional shares, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of the shares of Series E Preferred which were converted a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional shares in an amount equal to the same fraction of the market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined in a reasonable manner prescribed by the Board of Directors) at the close of business on the Conversion Date. The determination as to whether or not any fractional shares are issuable shall be based upon the total number of shares of Series E Preferred being converted at any one time by any holder thereof, not upon each share of Series E Preferred being converted.

 

  (j) Partial Conversion. In the event some but not all of the shares of Series E Preferred represented by a certificate or certificates surrendered by a holder are converted, the Corporation shall execute and deliver to or on the order of the holder, at the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate representing the number of shares of Series E Preferred which were not converted.

 

  (k)

Reservation of Common Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized by unissued shares of Common Stock, solely

 

12


  for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series E Preferred, such number of its shares of Common Stock shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series E Preferred, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series E Preferred, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

 

  (l) Minimum Adjustment. Any provision of this Section 5 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Applicable Conversion Value shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than 1% of the Applicable Conversion Value then in effect, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with all amounts so carried forward, aggregate 1% or more of the Applicable Conversion Value then in effect.

 

  (m) Mandatory Conversion. Each share of Series E Preferred shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, based on the then-effective Applicable Conversion Rate, as applicable, (A) at any time upon the affirmative election of the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of the Series E Preferred voting as a single class, or (B) immediately upon (1) the closing of a Qualified Public Offering (as herein after defined). For purposes hereof, the term “Qualified Public Offering” shall mean an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), covering the offer and sale of the Corporation’s securities in which (i) the per share price is at least one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the Original Issue Price (as adjusted for stock splits, etc.) and (ii) the gross cash proceeds to the Corporation (before underwriting discounts, commissions and fees) are at least Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) and (2) listing of the shares of Common Stock of the Corporation on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange, NASDAQ National Market or NASDAQ Small Cap Market. Holders of shares subject to conversion shall deliver to the Corporation at its principal office (or such other office or agency as the Corporation may designate by notice in writing) during its usual business hours, the certificate or certificates for shares of Series E Preferred being converted, and the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holders certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holders are entitled. Until such time as holders of shares of Series E Preferred shall surrender those certificates therefor as provided above, such certificates shall be deemed to represent the shares of Common Stock to which the holders shall be entitled upon the surrender thereof.

6. No Reissuance of Preferred Stock. No share of Series E Preferred acquired by the Corporation by reason of redemption, purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be cancelled, retired and eliminated from the shares which the Corporation shall

 

13


be authorized to issue. The Corporation may from time to time take such appropriate corporate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of the Series E Preferred accordingly.

7. Restrictions and Limitations. Except as expressly provided herein or as required by law, so long as any shares of Series E Preferred remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the approval by vote or written consent by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series E Preferred, voting as a separate class:

 

  (a) authorize or issue, or increase or decrease the authorized number of, (other than by redemption or conversion) any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock or shares of any new class or series of stock or any other securities convertible into equity securities of the Corporation ranking on a parity with or senior to the Series E Preferred in rights of redemption, liquidation preference, voting or dividends or any increase in the authorized or designated number of any such new class or series; provided, that the Corporation may, without such affirmative vote of holders of the Series E Preferred, (1) at any time, authorize, issued and sell up to 4,008,909 shares of Series E Preferred to stockholders of record of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the date of the first sale of Series E Preferred and to Life Sciences venture fund of Japan and such other investors as approved by at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series E Preferred, and (2) at any time after the first anniversary of the date of the first sale of Series E Preferred, (i) authorize, issue and sell up to 3,000,000 shares (in addition to the shares of Series E Preferred set forth in clause (1) above) of Series E Preferred or, in the alternative, (ii) establish, issue and sell shares of capital stock of equal priority to that of the Series E Preferred with an aggregate purchase price of up to $20,000,000;

 

  (b) redeem or repurchase any capital stock or pay dividends or other distributions with respect to capital stock of the Corporation (except for acquisitions of Common Stock by the Corporation pursuant to agreements which permit the Corporation to repurchase such shares upon termination of services to the Corporation or in exercise of the Corporation’s right of first refusal upon a proposed transfer);

 

  (c) take any action or agreement by the Corporation or its stockholders regarding a Reorganization in which the consideration paid or proposed to be paid to the Corporation or the holders of capital stock of the Corporation implies a price or value per share of the Series E Preferred less than the Liquidation Amount;

 

  (d) take any action or knowingly fail to take any action that would result in or effectuate the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; or

 

  (e)

effectuate any amendment, alteration, or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or the Bylaws of the Company that alters or

 

14


  changes the voting powers, preferences, or other special rights or privileges, qualifications, limitations, or restrictions of the Series E Preferred.

8. No Dilution or Impairment. Without the consent of the holders of the then outstanding Series E Preferred, as required under Section 7, the Corporation shall not amend its Certificate of Incorporation or participate in any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or take any other voluntary action, for the purpose of avoiding or seeking to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series E Preferred against dilution or other impairment.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors does hereby provide for the issuance of an additional series of preferred stock of the Corporation, consisting of 23,380,874 shares designated as “Series F Preferred Stock,” and does hereby fix and determine the powers, preferences and rights relating to said Series F Preferred Stock as hereinafter set forth.

 

2


The powers, preferences and rights granted to the Series F Preferred (as defined below) or the holders thereof are as follows:

1. Designation. The series of Preferred Stock shall be designated the “Series F Preferred Stock” (“Series F Preferred”) and shall consist of 23,380,874 shares. The “Series A Preferred Stock” (“Series A Preferred”), the “Series B Preferred Stock” (“Series B Preferred”), the Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred”), the “Series D Preferred Stock” (“Series D Preferred”), the Series E Preferred Stock (“the Series E Preferred”), the Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock (“Royalty Acquisition Preferred”) and the Series F Preferred and any other series of Preferred Stock authorized by the Board of Directors of this Corporation are hereinafter referred to as “Preferred Stock” or “Preferred.”

2. Dividend Rate and Rights.

 

  (a) Dividends. Holders of the Series F Preferred, pari passu with the Series E Preferred and in preference to the holders of Series A Preferred A, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred, Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation (“Junior Stock”), shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, but only out of funds that are legally available therefor, noncumulative cash dividends at the rate of eight percent (8%) of the “Original Issue Price” per annum on each outstanding share of Series F Preferred (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, reclassifications, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares).

  (b) Conversion of Dividends. In the event of the conversion of any shares of Series F Preferred pursuant to Section 5 hereof, all declared and unpaid dividends on such shares of Series F Preferred will be canceled and no dividends will be payable in respect of such shares of Series F Preferred, but instead the amount of declared but unpaid dividends on such shares of Series F Preferred will be taken into account in determining the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series F Preferred are convertible, as provided in Section 5 hereof.

3. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

 

  (a) Treatment at Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

 

  (1) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, merger (where a change of control occurs), sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, (any of such events referred to herein as a “Liquidity Event”) before any distribution may be made with respect to the Junior Stock, holders of each share of Series F Preferred and holders of each share of Series E Preferred shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to holders of the Corporation’s capital stock of all classes, whether such assets are capital, surplus, or capital earnings, an amount equal to the product of the number of shares held by such holder and the Original Issue Price of each such series (which amount shall be subject to equitable adjustment whenever there shall occur a stock dividend, combination, split, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event involving the Series E Preferred and Series E Preferred) plus all declared and unpaid dividends thereon (collectively, the “Liquidation Amount”). If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series F Preferred and holders of shares of Series E Preferred the full amount of the Liquidation Amount to which they shall be entitled, the holders of shares of Series F Preferred and holders of shares of Series E Preferred shall share ratably on a pro rata basis calculated upon the Original Issue Price of each such share of Series F Preferred or Series E Preferred (as defined in the “the Series E Certificate of Designation”) in any distribution of assets according to the amounts which would be payable with respect to the Series F Preferred and holders of shares of Series E Preferred held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to said shares were paid in full.

 

  (2) Following any Reorganization described in Section 3(b) below, and upon completion of the distribution required by Section 3(a)(1) above, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed pursuant to Section 3(a)(3) below. In all other Liquidity Events, upon completion of the distribution required by Section 3(a)(1) above, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed to the holders of the Preferred Stock (other than the Series F Preferred and the Series E Preferred), in accordance with the respective Certificates of Designation of Powers, Preferences and Rights of such series of Preferred Stock, or the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, as applicable.

 

  (3)

Upon completion of the distribution required by Section 3(a)(1) above, and Section 3(a)(2) above if applicable, the remaining assets of the

 

4


  Corporation available for distribution shall be distributed to the holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock (other than the Series E Preferred and the Series F Preferred) on an as converted to Common Stock basis, until each of such holders receives with respect to each Common Stock share equivalent up to, but not more than, the amount paid to with respect to each share of Series F Preferred pursuant to Section 3(a)(1) above. If the assets of the Corporation are not adequate to pay the amounts set forth in this Section 3(a)(3), the assets shall be distributed ratably amongst the holders of capital stock entitled to such distribution, on an as-converted to common stock basis.

 

  (4) Upon completion of the distribution required by Sections 3(a)(1), (2) and (3) above, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed to the holders of the Preferred Stock and the holders of the Common Stock on a pro-rata basis assuming that each share of Preferred Stock has been converted into Common Stock.

 

  (b) Treatment of Reorganizations. Any Reorganization (as such term is defined in Section 5(0), shall be regarded as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 3; provided, however, that each holder of Series F Preferred shall have the right to elect the benefits of the provisions of Section 5(0 hereof, if applicable, in lieu of receiving payment of amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation pursuant to this Section 3.

 

  (c) Distributions in Cash. The Liquidation Amount shall in all events be paid in cash; provided, however, that if the Liquidation Amount is payable in connection with a Reorganization, then each holder of the Series F Preferred may, at its election, receive payment of the Liquidation Amount in the same form of consideration as is payable with respect to the Junior Stock. Wherever a distribution provided for in this Section 3 is payable in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

4. Voting Power. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 7 hereof, or as required by law, each holder of Series F Preferred shall be entitled to vote on all matters and shall be entitled to that number of votes equal to the largest number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such holder’s shares of Series F Preferred could be converted, pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, at the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such matter or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholder is solicited. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, the holders of shares of Series F Preferred and Common Stock shall vote together as a single class on all matters. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Series F Preferred held

 

5


by each holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward).

5. Conversion into Common Stock. The holders of the Series F Preferred shall have the following rights with respect to the conversion of the Series F Preferred into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Rights”):

 

  (a) General. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 5, any share of the Series F Preferred may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Corporation. The number of shares of Common Stock to which a holder of Series F Preferred shall be entitled upon conversion shall be the product obtained by multiplying the Applicable Conversion Rate (determined as provided in Section 5(b)) by the number of shares of Series F Preferred being converted.

 

  (b) Applicable Conversion Rate. The conversion rate in effect at any time (the “Applicable Conversion Rate”) shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Original Issue Price by the Applicable Conversion Value, calculated as provided in Section 5(c).

 

  (c) Applicable Conversion Value. The Applicable Conversion Value shall be the Original Issue Price, except that such amount shall be adjusted from time to time in accordance with Section 5(d).

 

  (d) Adjustments to Applicable Conversion Values.

 

  (1) Conversion Events.

 

  (A) Upon Sale of Common Stock. If the Corporation shall, while there are any shares of Series F Preferred outstanding, issue or sell (or in accordance with Section 5(d)(1)(B) below is deemed to have issued or sold) shares of its Common Stock without consideration or at a price per share less than the Applicable Conversion Value in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then in each such case such Applicable Conversion Value for the Series F Preferred, upon each such issuance or sale, except as hereinafter provided, shall be lowered so as to be equal to an amount determined by multiplying the Applicable Conversion Values by a fraction;

 

  (i)

the numerator of which shall be (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock, plus (b) the number of shares of Common Stock which the net aggregate consideration, if any, received or to be received by the Corporation (in accordance with the Net Consideration Per Share in the case of warrants, options or

 

6


  any other rights with respect to convertible or exchangeable securities) for the total number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the Applicable Conversion Value in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and

 

  (ii) the denominator of which shall be (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock plus (b) the number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued;

provided that for the purpose of clause (i) and (ii) of this Subsection 5(d)(1)(A), all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and other convertible securities shall be deemed to be outstanding.

 

  (B) Upon Issuance of Warrants, Options and Rights to Common Stock.

 

  (i)

For the purpose of this Section 5(d)(1), the issuance of any warrants, options, subscriptions, or purchase rights with respect to shares of Common Stock and the issuance of any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (or the issuance of any warrants, options or any rights with respect to such convertible or exchangeable securities) shall be deemed an issuance of such Common Stock at such time if the Net Consideration Per Share (as hereinafter determined) which may be received by the Corporation for such Common Stock shall be less than the Applicable Conversion Value at the time of such issuance. Any obligation, agreement, or undertaking to issue warrants, options, subscriptions, or purchase rights at any time in the future shall be deemed to be an issuance at the time such obligation, agreement or undertaking is made or arises. No adjustment of the Applicable Conversion Value shall be made under this Section 5(d)(I) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants, options, subscriptions, or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any conversion or exchange rights in any convertible securities if any adjustment shall previously have been made or deemed not required hereunder, upon the issuance of any such warrants, options, or subscription or purchase rights or upon the issuance of any convertible securities (or upon the

 

7


  issuance of any warrants, options or any rights therefor) as above provided.

 

  (ii) Should the Net Consideration Per Share of any such warrants, options, subscriptions, or purchase rights or convertible securities be decreased from time to time (other than as a result of a stock split, stock dividend or other similar event), then, upon the effectiveness of each such change, the Applicable Conversion Value shall be adjusted to such Applicable Conversion Value as would have obtained (1) had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such warrants, options, rights, or convertible securities been made upon the basis of the decreased Net Consideration per share of such securities, and (2) had adjustments made to the Applicable Conversion Value since the date of issuance of such securities been made to the Applicable Conversion Value as adjusted pursuant to (1) above. Any adjustment of the Applicable Conversion Value with respect to this Section 5(d)(1)(B) which relates to warrants, options, subscriptions, purchase rights or convertible securities with respect to shares of Common Stock shall be disregarded if, as, when and to the extent such warranties, options, subscriptions, purchase rights or convertible securities expire or are cancelled without being exercised or converted, so that the Applicable Conversion Value effective immediately upon such cancellation or expiration shall be equal to the Applicable Conversion Value in effect at the time of the issuance of the expired or cancelled warrants, options, subscriptions, purchase rights, or convertible securities with such additional adjustments as would have been made to all Applicable Conversion Value had the expired or cancelled warrants, options, subscriptions, purchase rights or convertible securities not been issued.

For purposes of this paragraph, the “Net Consideration Per Share” which may be received by the Corporation shall be determined as follows:

(a) The “Net Consideration Per Share” shall mean the amount equal to the total amount of consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for the issuance of such warrants, options, subscriptions, or other purchase rights or convertible or exchangeable securities, plus the minimum amount of consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon exercise or conversion thereof, divided by the

 

8


aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued if all such warrants, options, subscriptions, or other purchase rights or convertible or exchangeable securities were exercised, exchanged, or converted.

(b) The “Net Consideration Per Share” which may be received by the Corporation shall be determined in each instance as of the date of issuance of warrants, options, subscriptions, or other purchase rights or convertible or exchangeable securities without giving effect to any possible future upward price adjustments or rate adjustments which may be applicable with respect to such warrants, options, subscriptions, or other purchase rights or convertible exchangeable securities.

 

  (C) Stock Dividends. In the event the Corporation shall make or issue a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock or securities of the Corporation convertible into or otherwise exchangeable for the Common Stock of the Corporation, then such Common Stock or other securities issued in payment of such dividend shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration (except for dividends payable in shares of Common Stock payable pro rata to holders of Series F Preferred and to holders of any other class of stock).

 

  (D) Consideration Other than Cash. For purposes of this Section 5(d)(1), if a part or all of the consideration received by the Corporation in connection with the issuance of shares of the Common Stock or the issuance of any of the securities described in this Section 5(d) consists of property other than cash, such consideration shall be deemed to have a fair market value as is reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

 

  (E)

Exceptions. This Section 5(d)(1) shall not apply under any of the circumstances that would constitute an Extraordinary Common Stock Event (as hereinafter defined in Section 5(d)(2)). Further, the provisions of this Section 5(d) shall not apply to (i) shares issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock, (ii) Common Stock and/or bona fide options (and the shares issuable upon exercise thereof) issued to employees, directors and consultants of the Corporation pursuant to written stock option or stock purchase plans or arrangements that have been approved by the stockholders of the Corporation (within one year of the date of adoption), or (iii) shares issued in connection with the exercise of convertible securities, warrants or options or other contractual obligations in

 

9


  connection with the rollup of Skin Sciences, Inc. into the Corporation, outstanding as of the date of the first sale of Series F Preferred.

 

  (2) Upon Extraordinary Common Stock Event. Upon the happening of an Extraordinary Common Stock Event (as hereinafter defined), the Applicable Conversion Value for the Series F Preferred shall, simultaneously with the happening of such Extraordinary Common Stock Event, be adjusted by multiplying the then effective Applicable Conversion Value with respect to the Series F Preferred by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Extraordinary Common Stock Event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such Extraordinary Common Stock Event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Applicable Conversion Value. The Applicable Conversion Value for the Series F Preferred shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive Extraordinary Common Stock Event or Events.

“Extraordinary Common Stock Event” shall mean (i) the issue of additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock or on any class or series of preferred stock, unless made pro rata to holders of Series F Preferred, (ii) a subdivision of outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) a combination of outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock.

 

  (e) Capital Reorganization or Reclassification. If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series F Preferred shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend or distribution provided for elsewhere in this Section 5 or by a Reorganization), then and in each such event, the holder of each share of Series F Preferred shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such capital reorganization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series F Preferred might have been converted immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification or other change.

 

  (f)

Capital Reorganization, Merger or Sale of Assets. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for

 

10


  elsewhere in this Section 5) or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation or other entity or person (other than the merger of a wholly or majority owned subsidiary into the Corporation), or any other corporate reorganization, in which the stockholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, own less than fifty percent (50%) of the Corporation’s voting power immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s properties and assets to any other person, or the sale of a majority of the voting securities of the Corporation in one transaction or a series of related transactions (any of which events is herein referred to as a “Reorganization”) then as a part of such Reorganization, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series F Preferred shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series F Preferred, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation, or of the successor corporation resulting from such Reorganization, to which such holder would have been entitled if such holder had converted its shares of Series F Preferred immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series F Preferred after the Reorganization, to the end that the provisions of this Section 5 (including adjustment of the Applicable Conversion Value then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series F Preferred) shall be applicable after that event in as nearly equivalent a manner as may be practicable.

Upon the occurrence of a Reorganization, under circumstances which make the preceding paragraph applicable, each holder of Series F Preferred shall have the option of electing treatment for his shares of Series F Preferred under either this Section 5(f) or Section 3 hereof, notice of which election shall be submitted in writing to the Corporation at its principal offices no later than ten (10) business days before the effective date of such event.

 

  (g) Certificate as to Adjustments; Notice by Corporation. In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Applicable Conversion Rate, the Corporation, at its expense, will furnish each holder of Preferred Stock with a certificate, executed by the president and chief financial officer (or in the absence of a person designated as the chief financial officer, by the treasurer) showing such adjustment or readjustment, and stating in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.

 

  (h)

Exercise of Conversion Privilege. To exercise its conversion privilege, a holder of Series F Preferred shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing the shares being converted to the Corporation at its principal office, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at that office that such holder elects to convert such shares. Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be issued. The certificate or certificates for shares of Series F Preferred surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by

 

11


  proper assignment thereof to the Corporation or in blank. The date when such written notice is received by the Corporation, together with the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series F Preferred being converted, shall be the “Conversion Date.” As promptly as practicable after the Conversion Date, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver to the holder of the shares of Series F Preferred being converted, or on its written order, such certificate or certificates as it may request for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series F Preferred in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5, and cash, as provided in Section 5(i), in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date, and at such time the rights of the holder as holder of the converted shares of Series F Preferred shall cease and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares of Common Stock represented thereby. The Corporation shall pay any taxes payable with respect to the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series F Preferred, other than any taxes payable with respect to income by the holders thereof.

 

  (i) Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares. The Corporation may, if it so elects, issue fractional shares of Common Stock or script representing fractional shares upon the conversion of shares of Series F Preferred. If the Corporation does not elect to issue fractional shares, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of the shares of Series F Preferred which were converted a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional shares in an amount equal to the same fraction of the market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined in a reasonable manner prescribed by the Board of Directors) at the close of business on the Conversion Date. The determination as to whether or not any fractional shares are issuable shall be based upon the total number of shares of Series F Preferred being converted at any one time by any holder thereof, not upon each share of Series F Preferred being converted.

 

  (j) Partial Conversion. In the event some but not all of the shares of Series F Preferred represented by a certificate or certificates surrendered by a holder are converted, the Corporation shall execute and deliver to or on the order of the holder, at the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate representing the number of shares of Series F Preferred which were not converted.

 

  (k)

Reservation of Common Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series F Preferred, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall, from time to time, be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series F Preferred, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then

 

12


  outstanding shares of the Series F Preferred, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

 

  (l) Minimum Adjustment. Any provision of this Section 5 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Applicable Conversion Value shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than 1% of the Applicable Conversion Value then in effect, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with all amounts so carried forward, aggregate 1% or more of the Applicable Conversion Value then in effect.

 

  (m) Mandatory Conversion. Each share of Series F Preferred shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, based on the then-effective Applicable Conversion Rate, as applicable, (A) at any time upon the affirmative election of the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of the Series F Preferred voting as a single class, or (B) immediately upon (1) the closing of a Qualified Public Offering (as herein after defined). For purposes hereof, the term “Qualified Public Offering” shall mean an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), covering the offer and sale of the Corporation’s securities in which (i) the per share price is at least one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the Original Issue Price (as adjusted for stock splits, etc.) and (ii) the gross cash proceeds to the Corporation (before underwriting discounts, commissions and fees) are at least Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) and (2) listing of the shares of Common Stock of the Corporation on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange, NASDAQ National Market or NASDAQ Small Cap Market. Holders of shares subject to conversion shall deliver to the Corporation at its principal office (or such other office or agency as the Corporation may designate by notice in writing) during its usual business hours, the certificate or certificates for shares of Series F Preferred being converted, and the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holders certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holders are entitled. Until such time as holders of shares of Series F Preferred shall surrender those certificates therefor as provided above, such certificates shall be deemed to represent the shares of Common Stock to which the holders shall be entitled upon the surrender thereof.

6. No Reissuance of Preferred Stock. No share of Series F Preferred acquired by the Corporation by reason of redemption, purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be cancelled, retired and eliminated from the shares that the Corporation shall be authorized to issue. The Corporation may from time to time take such appropriate corporate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of the Series F Preferred accordingly.

 

13


7. Restrictions and Limitations. Except as expressly provided herein or as required by law, so long as any shares of Series F Preferred remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the approval by vote or written consent by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series F Preferred, voting as a separate class:

 

  (a) authorize or issue, or increase or decrease the authorized number of, (other than by redemption or conversion) any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock or shares of any new class or series of stock or any other securities convertible into equity securities of the Corporation ranking (i) on a parity with or senior to the Series F Preferred in liquidation preference, voting or dividends or (ii) senior to the Series F Preferred in rights of redemption; provided, that, in addition to the shares of Series F Preferred currently authorized for issuance, the Corporation may, without such affirmative vote of holders of the Series F Preferred, authorize, issue and sell up to an additional 2,338,087 shares of Series F Preferred at any time;

 

  (b) redeem or repurchase any capital stock or pay dividends or other distributions with respect to capital stock of the Corporation (except for acquisitions of Common Stock by the Corporation pursuant to agreements which permit the Corporation to repurchase such shares upon termination of services to the Corporation or in exercise of the Corporation’s right of first refusal upon a proposed transfer);

 

  (c) take any action or agreement by the Corporation or its stockholders regarding a Reorganization in which the consideration paid or proposed to be paid to the Corporation or the holders of capital stock of the Corporation implies a price or value per share of the Series F Preferred less than the Liquidation Amount;

 

  (d) take any action or knowingly fail to take any action that would result in or effectuate the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; or

 

  (e) effectuate any amendment, alteration, or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or the Bylaws of the Company that alters or changes the voting powers, preferences, or other special rights or privileges, qualifications, limitations, or restrictions of the Series F Preferred.

8. No Dilution or Impairment. Without the consent of the holders of the then outstanding Series F Preferred, as required under Section 7, the Corporation shall not amend its Certificate of Incorporation or participate in any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or take any other voluntary action, for the purpose of avoiding or seeking to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series F Preferred against dilution or other impairment.

9. Notices of Record Date. In the event of

 

14


  (a) any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or

 

  (b) any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Corporation, any merger of the Corporation, or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to any other corporation, or any other entity or person, or

 

  (c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation,

then and in each such event the Corporation shall mail or cause to be mailed to each holder of Series F Preferred a notice specifying (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right and a description of such dividend, distribution, or right, (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective and (iii) the time, if any, that is to be fixed, as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such notice shall be mailed at least ten (10) business days prior to the date specified in such notice on which such action is to be taken.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS

OF

SERIES G-1 CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

OF

FIBROGEN, INC.

FIBROGEN, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), pursuant to the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, does hereby make this Certificate of Designations and does hereby state and certify that pursuant to the authority expressly vested in the Board of Directors of the Corporation by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of Directors has duly adopted the following resolutions:

RESOLVED, that, pursuant to Article FOURTH of the Certificate of Incorporation, which authorizes 86,666,667 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value (“Preferred Stock”), the Board of Directors hereby fixes the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions, of a series of Preferred Stock.

RESOLVED, that each share of such series of Preferred Stock shall rank equally in all respects and shall be subject to the following provisions:

(1) Number and Designation. 9,199,761 shares of the Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall be designated as Series G-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series G-1 Preferred Stock”).

(2) Rank. The Series G-1 Preferred Stock shall, with respect to rights on liquidation, dissolution and winding up, rank prior to all classes of the Corporation’s common stock, $.01 par value (“Common Stock”) and the Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock. The Series G-1 Preferred Stock shall, with respect to rights on liquidation, dissolution and winding up, rank equally with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”), the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”), the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) and the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”). All equity securities of the Corporation to which the Series G-1 Preferred Stock ranks prior (whether with respect to liquidation, dissolution, winding up or otherwise), including the Common Stock, are collectively referred to herein as the “Junior Securities.” All equity securities of the Corporation with which the Series G-1 Preferred Stock ranks on a parity (whether with respect to liquidation, dissolution, winding up or otherwise), including Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock the Series C Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock, are collectively referred to herein as the “Parity Securities.” All equity securities of the Corporation to which the Series G-1 Preferred Stock ranks junior (whether with respect to liquidation, dissolution, winding up or otherwise), are collectively referred to herein as the “Senior Securities”. The respective definitions of Junior Securities, Parity Securities and Senior Securities shall also include any rights, options or

 

- 1 -


warrants exercisable for any of the Junior Securities, Parity Securities and Senior Securities, as the case may be. The Series G-1 Preferred Stock shall be subject to the creation of Junior Securities, Parity Securities and Senior Securities.

(3) Dividends. The holders of shares of Series G-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, to the extent as, on the same basis as, at the same rate as, and contemporaneously with, cash dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors with respect to shares of any Common Stock, the Royalty Acquisition Preferred Stock, or Parity Securities. Such dividends shall be paid to the holders of record at the close of business on the record date specified by the Board of Directors of the Corporation at the time such dividend is declared, provided, however, that such record date shall not be more than 60 days or less than 10 days prior to the applicable dividend payment date.

(4) Conversion.

(a) Each share of Series G-1 Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof except as otherwise provided in paragraph (4)(b) below, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $7.50 by the Conversion Price (as defined below) applicable to such share, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be deliverable upon conversion of shares of Series G-1 Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Price”) shall initially be $7.50 per share of Common Stock. Such initial Conversion Price shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each outstanding share of Series G-1 Preferred stock shall automatically convert upon a public offering of Common Stock if the total aggregate proceeds to the Corporation before underwriting commissions and expenses are at least $10,000,000.

(c) Before any holder of Series G-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for the holder’s shares of Series G-1 Preferred Stock, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for such stock, and, unless such conversion is automatic pursuant to clause (b) above, shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series G-1 Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made (i) in the case such conversion is automatic pursuant to clause (b) above, upon the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to such offering, and (ii) in all other cases, immediately prior to the close of business on the date of surrender of the shares of Series G-1 Preferred Stock to be converted (in either case, the “Conversion Date”), and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock

 

- 2 -


issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or record holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

(d) All shares of Series G-1 Preferred Stock which have been converted as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall forthwith cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof, subject to the provisions of clause (c) of this paragraph (4), to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor.

(e) In case:

(i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its retained earnings; or

(ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

(iii) of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, split or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or

(iv) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation;

then the Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of shares of Series G-1 Preferred Stock at its address as shown on the books of the Corporation, at least 30 days (or 20 days in any case specified in clause (i) or (ii) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants, 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, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, liquidation 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, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

(f) For the purposes of this paragraph (4), the term “Common Stock” shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Corporation on the date of this Certificate of Designations, and (ii) any other class of common stock, including any class resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of such Common Stock consisting solely of changes in par value or from no par value to par value or from par value to no par value.

(g) No fractional share of Common Stock, or scrip representing a fractional share, shall be issuable upon the conversion of any Series 0-1 Preferred Stock. If a

 

- 3 -


certificate or certificates representing more than one share of Series G-1 Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares represented by certificates so surrendered. If any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock would be deliverable upon the conversion of any shares of Series G-1 Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay, in lieu thereof, in cash the Conversion Price thereof as of the business day immediately preceding the date of such conversion.

(h) Such number of shares of Common Stock as may from time to time be required for such purpose shall be reserved for issuance upon conversion of outstanding shares of Series G-1 Preferred Stock.

(i) If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time effect a subdivision or stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price of the Series G-1 Preferred Stock then in effect immediately before that subdivision or stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price of the Series G-1 Preferred Stock then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision, stock split or combination, as the case may be, becomes effective.

(j) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price of the Series G-1 Preferred Stock then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price of the Series G-1 Preferred Stock then in effect by a fraction:

(1) the denominator of which shall be the sum of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution, and

(2) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date;

provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price of Series G-1 Preferred Stock shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price of Series G-1 Preferred Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment or issuance of such dividends or distributions.

(k) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation other than shares

 

- 4 -


of Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Series G-1 Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of such other securities of the Corporation that they would have received had their Series G-1 Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date, or the record date, of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein during such period.

(l) If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series G- 1 Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise, then and in each such event the holder of each such share of Series G-1 Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series G-1 Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(5) Liquidation Preference.

(a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series G-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders an amount in cash equal to $7.50 for each share outstanding, plus an amount in cash equal to all declared but unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for liquidation, dissolution or winding up before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of any Junior Securities. If the assets of the Corporation, or the proceeds thereof, are not sufficient to pay in full the liquidation payments payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the Series G-1 Preferred Stock and any Parity Securities, then the holders of all such shares shall share ratably in such distribution of assets, or the proceeds thereof, in accordance with the amount which would have been payable on such distribution if the amounts to which the holders of outstanding shares of Series G-1 Preferred Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of such Parity Securities are entitled were paid in full. Except as provided in this paragraph (5)(a), holders of Series G-1 Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any distribution in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

(b) For the purposes of this paragraph (5), neither the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the property or assets of the Corporation nor the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into one or more other corporations shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, voluntary or involuntary unless such voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer, or merger or consolidation, shall be in connection with a plan of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

(6) Voting. In addition to any voting rights provided by law and to any voting

 

- 5 -


rights of the holders of the Series G-1 Preferred Stock, as or as part of a separate class or series, pursuant to this Certificate or any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the holder of each outstanding share of Series G-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on any matter voted on by holders of Common Stock, voting together as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock and any other shares entitled to vote in the ordinary course and shall be entitled to that number of votes equal to the largest number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such holder’s shares of Series GI Preferred Stock could be converted, pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, at the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such matter or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholder is solicited.

(7) Reports. So long as any of the Series G-1 Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation will furnish the holders thereof with the quarterly and annual financial reports, if any, that the Corporation is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

All equity securities of the Corporation to which the Series B Preferred Stock ranks prior (whether with respect to liquidation, dissolution, winding up or otherwise), including the Common Stock, are collectively referred to herein as the “Junior Securities.” All equity securities of the Corporation with which the Series B Preferred Stock ranks on a parity (whether with respect to liquidation, dissolution, winding up or otherwise), including Series A Preferred Stock, are collectively referred to herein as the “Parity Securities.” All equity securities of the Corporation to which the Series B Preferred Stock ranks junior (whether with respect to liquidation, dissolution, winding up or otherwise), are collectively referred to herein as the “Senior Securities”. The respective definitions of Junior Securities, Parity Securities and Senior Securities shall also include any rights, options or warrants exercisable for any of the Junior Securities, Parity

 

- 1 -


Securities and Senior Securities, as the case may be. The Series B Preferred Stock shall be subject to the creation of Junior Securities, Parity Securities and Senior Securities.

(3) Dividends. The holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, to the extent as, on the same basis as, at the same rate as, and contemporaneously with, cash dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors with respect to shares of any Common Stock or Parity Securities. Such dividends shall be paid to the holders of record at the close of business on the record date specified by the Board of Directors of the Corporation at the time such dividend is declared, provided, however, that such record date shall not be more than 60 days or less than 10 days prior to the applicable dividend payment date.

(4) Conversion.

(a) Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof except as otherwise provided in paragraph (4)(b) below, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $1.30 by the Conversion Price (as defined below) applicable to such share, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be deliverable upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Price”) shall initially be $1.30 per share of Common Stock. Such initial Conversion Price shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each outstanding share of Series B Preferred stock shall automatically convert upon a public offering of Common Stock at a price of at least $2.00 per share if the total aggregate proceeds to the Corporation before underwriting commissions and expenses are at least $10,000,000.

(c) Before any holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for the holder’s shares of Series B Preferred Stock, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for such stock, and, unless such conversion is automatic pursuant to clause (b) above, shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and

 

- 2 -


deliver at such office to such holder of Series B Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made (i) in the case such conversion is automatic pursuant to clause (b) above, upon the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to such offering, and (ii) in all other cases, immediately prior to the close of business on the date of surrender of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted (in either case, the “Conversion Date”), and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or record holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

(d) All shares of Series B Preferred Stock which have been converted as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall forthwith cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof, subject to the provisions of clause (c) of this paragraph (4), to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor.

(e) (i) For the purposes of this clause (e), the following definitions shall apply:

(A) “Options” shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire either Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (as defined below);

(B) “Original Issue Date” shall mean the date on which a share of Series B Preferred Stock was first issued;

(C) “Convertible Securities” shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, shares (other than Common Stock) or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Additional Shares of Common Stock; and

(D) “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to clause (e)(iii) hereof, deemed to be issued) by the Corporation after the Original Issue Date, other than shares of Common Stock issued or issuable:

(I) to officers, directors or employees of, or consultants to, the Corporation pursuant to stock option or stock purchase plans or agreements on terms approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation;

(II) as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Series B Preferred Stock; or

 

- 3 -


(III) for which adjustment of the Conversion Price is made pursuant to clause (j) or (k) of this paragraph (4).

(ii) Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to subclause (e)(v) hereof) for an Additional Share of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation is less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to, such issue.

(iii) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities then 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 designed to protect against dilution) 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:

(1) no further adjustments 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;

(2) if 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 decrease or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the 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 (provided, however, that no such adjustment of the Conversion Price shall affect Common Stock previously issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock);

(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, the

 

- 4 -


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 for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually 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 upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;

(4) no readjustment pursuant to clause (2) or (3) above shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (a) the Conversion Price on the original adjustment date (before adjustment) and (b) 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;

(5) in the case of any Options which expire by their terms not more than 30 days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustments of the Conversion Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the same manner provided in clause (3) above.

(iv) In the event this Corporation, at any time after the Original Issue Date, shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to subclause (e)(iii) hereof) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately

 

- 5 -


prior to such issue plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued. For the purpose of the above calculation, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be calculated as if (i) all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and all other outstanding evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock had been fully converted into or exchanged for shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such issuance, and (ii) all outstanding rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock (or to acquire evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) had been fully exercised (and had been fully converted and exchanged if, upon such exercise, evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock would be issued) immediately prior to such issuance, but not including in such calculation any additional shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to shares of Preferred Stock, other evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible, into or exchangeable for Common Stock or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock solely as a result of the adjustment of the respective Conversion Prices (or other conversion ratios or exercise prices) resulting from the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock causing such adjustment.

(v) For purposes of this clause (e), the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows;

(1) If such consideration consists of cash and property, such consideration shall:

(A) insofar an it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;

(B) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and

(C) 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 so received, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

 

- 6 -


(2) If such consideration consists of 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 subclause (e)(iii), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:

(A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable 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 designed to protect against dilution) 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

(B) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against the dilution) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(f) In case:

(i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its retained earnings; or

(ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

(iii) of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, split or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or

(iv) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution; liquidation or winding up of the Corporation;

then the Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock at its address as shown on the books of the Corporation, at least 30 days (or 20 days in any case specified in clause (i) or (ii) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants,

 

- 7 -


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, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, liquidation 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, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

(g) For the purposes of this paragraph (4), the term “Common Stock” shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Corporation on the date of this Certificate of Designations, and (ii) any other class of common stock, including any class resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of such Common Stock consisting solely of changes in par value or from no par value to par value or from par value to no par value.

(h) No fractional share of Common Stock, or scrip representing a fractional share, shall be issuable upon the conversion of any Series B Preferred Stock. If a certificate or certificates representing more than one share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares represented by certificates so surrendered. If any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock would be deliverable upon the conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay, in lieu thereof, in cash the Conversion Price thereof as of the business day immediately preceding the date of such conversion.

(i) Such number of shares of Common Stock as may from time to time be required for such purpose shall be reserved for issuance upon conversion of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

(j) If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time effect a subdivision or stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock then in effect immediately before that subdivision or stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision, stock split or combination, as the case may be, becomes effective.

(k) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive,

 

- 8 -


a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock then in effect by a fraction;

(1) the denominator of which shall be the sum of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution, and

(2) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date;

provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price of Series B Preferred Stock shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price of Series B Preferred Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment or issuance of such dividends or distributions.

(l) In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of such other securities of the Corporation that they would have received had their Series B Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date, or the record date, of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein during such period.

(m) If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise, then and in each such event the holder of each such share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, exchange,

 

- 9 -


substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(5) Liquidation Preference.

(a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders an amount in cash equal to $1.30 for each share outstanding, plus an amount in cash equal to all declared but unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for liquidation, dissolution or winding up before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of any Junior Securities. If the assets of the Corporation, or the proceeds thereof, are not sufficient to pay in full the liquidation payments payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and any Parity Securities, then the holders of all such shares shall share ratably in such distribution of assets, or the proceeds thereof, in accordance with the amount which would have been payable on such distribution if the amounts to which the holders of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of such Parity Securities are entitled were paid in full. Except as provided in this paragraph (5) (a), holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any distribution in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

(b) For the purposes of this paragraph (5), neither the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the property or assets of the Corporation nor the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into one or more other corporations shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, voluntary or involuntary unless such voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer, or merger or consolidation, shall be in connection with a plan of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

(6) Voting. In addition to any voting rights provided by law and to any voting rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, as or as part of a separate class or series, pursuant to this Certificate or any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the holder of each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on any matter voted on by holders of Common Stock, voting together as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock, and any other shares entitled to vote in the ordinary course. With respect to any such vote, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast one vote.

 

- 10 -


(7) Reports. So long as any of the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation will furnish the holders thereof with the quarterly and annual financial reports, if any, that the Corporation is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

(8) General Provisions.

(a) The term “person” as used herein means any corporation, partnership, trust, organization, association, other entity or individual.

(b) The term “outstanding,” when used with reference to shares of stock, shall mean issued shares, excluding shares held by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation.

(c) The headings of the paragraphs, subparagraphs, clauses and subclauses of this Certificate of Designations are for convenience of reference only and shall not define, limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, FIBROGEN, Inc. has caused this Certificate of Designations to be signed and attested by the undersigned this 7th day of November 1995.

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has identified certain potentially defective corporate acts in the resolutions attached hereto as Attachment 1 (the “Board Resolutions”), which Board Resolutions are incorporated herein by reference;

WHEREAS, for the avoidance of doubt, the Board has determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to ratify all of the potentially defective corporate acts set forth in the Board Resolutions by approving and adopting the Ratification (as defined in the Board Resolutions) pursuant to and in accordance with Section 204 of the General Corporation Law;

WHEREAS, the Board has approved and adopted the Ratification and has directed that the Board Resolutions approving the Ratification be submitted to the holders of valid stock (as defined in Section 204(h) of the General Corporation Law) of the Company entitled to vote thereon for adoption thereby;

WHEREAS, the Board has recommended that the holders of valid stock of the Company entitled to vote on the adoption of the Board Resolutions adopt the Board Resolutions authorizing the Ratification; and

WHEREAS, any claim that any of the potentially defective corporate acts or putative stock referenced in the Board Resolutions being ratified under Section 204 of the General Corporation Law is void or voidable due to the identified potential failure of authorization, or that the Delaware Court of Chancery should declare in its discretion that the ratification thereof in accordance with Section 204 of the General Corporation Law not be effective or be effective only on certain conditions must be brought within 120 days from the relevant validation effective time.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 204 of the General Corporation Law, the Board Resolutions authorizing the Ratification be, and hereby are, approved, adopted and confirmed in all respects.

RESOLVED, FURTHER, that the officers of the Company be, and each hereby is, authorized, empowered and directed, for and on behalf of the Company, to execute and file or cause to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the certificates of validation referenced in the Board Resolutions.

RESOLVED, FURTHER, that, any time before the validation effective time, the Board of Directors may abandon the Board Resolutions effecting the Ratification, before or after stockholder approval thereof, without further action by the stockholders.

RESOLVED, FURTHER, that the officers of the Company be, and each hereby is, authorized, empowered and directed, for and on behalf of the Company, to take any and all actions, to negotiate for and enter into agreements and amendments to agreements, to perform all such acts and things, to execute, file, deliver or record in the name and on behalf of the Company, all such certificates (including, but not limited to, the certificates of validation referenced in the Board Resolutions), instruments, agreements or other documents, and to make all such payments as they, in their judgment, or in the judgment of any one or more of them, may deem necessary, advisable or appropriate in order to carry out the purpose and intent of, or consummate the transactions contemplated by the foregoing resolutions and/or all of the transactions contemplated therein or thereby, the authorization therefor to be conclusively evidenced by the taking of such action or the execution and delivery of such certificates, instruments, agreements or documents.

CORRECTED CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT OF THE

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS

OF

SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

OF

FIBROGEN, INC.

FibroGen, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that:

1. The name of the Corporation is FibroGen, Inc.

2. The Certificate of Amendment of the Certificate of Designations of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of the Corporation (the “Amended Designation”) was filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 21, 2006 and the Amended Designation requires correction as permitted by subsection (f) of Section 103 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

3. The inaccuracy or defect of the Amended Designation to be corrected is that the Amended Designation is an inaccurate record of the corporate action referred to therein. The increase in the authorized number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock referred to therein and effected thereby was not an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation adopted in accordance with the provisions of Sections 228 and 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, but was instead duly authorized and directed by a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation in accordance with Section 151(g) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
