5.       Conversions.

 

5A.    Conversion Procedure.

 

(i)     At any time up to two days prior to the Redemption Date of any Share, any holder of Convertible Preferred Stock may convert all or any portion of such holder’s Shares into a number of shares of the Conversion Stock computed by multiplying the number of shares to be converted by $1.00 and dividing the result by the Conversion Price then in effect. For purposes of this part, “Conversion Stock” means the Common Stock.

 

(ii)     Each conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock will be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which the certificate or certificates representing the Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted have been surrendered at the principal office of the Corporation. At such time as such conversion has been effected, the rights of the holder of such Convertible Preferred Stock as such holder will cease and the Person or Parsons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Conversion Stock Are to be issued upon such conversion will be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of this shares of Conversion Stock represented thereby.

 

(iii)     As soon as possible after a conversion has been effected, the Corporation will deliver to the converting holder:

 

a.     a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable by reason of such conversion in such name or names and such denomination or denominations as the converting holder has specified; and

 

b.     a certificate representing any Shares which were represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the Corporation in connection with such conversion but which were not converted.

 

 
 

 

 

(iv)     If any fractional interest in a share of Conversion Stock would, except for the provisions of this subparagraph (iv), be deliverable upon any conversion, the Corporation, in lieu of delivering the fractional shore therefor, will pay an amount equal to the Market Price of such fractional interest as of the date of conversion; provided that if for any reason the Corporation is unable to pay the Market Price of any such fractional interest, the Corporation will issue such fractional share upon the conversion.

 

(v)      The issuance of certificates for Shares of Conversion Stock upon conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock will be made without charge to the holders of such Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

(vi)     The Corporation will not close its books against the transfer of Convertible Preferred Stock or of Conversion Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

5B.     Conversion Price

 

(i)     The initial Conversion Price for the Convertible Preferred Stock will be $1.00. In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights granted under this part, the Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to this part 5.

 

(ii)     If and whenever the Corporation issues or sells, or in accordance with paragraph 5C is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of its Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then forthwith upon such issue or sale, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the Conversion Price determined by dividing (A) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the product derived by multiplying the Conversion Price immediately prior to such issue or sale times the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale plus (y) the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation upon such issue or sale, by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such issue or sale; provided, that, no such adjustment in the Conversion Price will be made in connection with (i) the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to warrants or options outstanding on the date of first issuance of the Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) the issuance of (including the issuance of rights and options to purchase) shares of Common Stock to key employees, directors, consultants or advisors of or to the Corporation (other than by virtue of the aforesaid warrants) pursuant to any plan which is adopted by the stockholders of the Corporation (before or after the date of first issuance of the Convertible Preferred Stock), or (iii) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or any Options or Convertible Securities (as defined below) pursuant to as public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1533.

 

 
 

 

 

5C.     Effect on Conversion Price of Certain Events. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under paragraph 5B, the following will be applicable:

 

(i)     Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Corporation in any manner grants any rights or options to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or any stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such rights or options being herein called “Options” and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called “Convertible Securities”) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum number of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options will be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation for such price per share. For purposes of this paragraph, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable” will be determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Corporation upon exercise of all such Options, plus in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 5C(iii), no adjustment of the Conversion Price will be made when Convertible Securities are actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or when Common Stock is actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

(ii)     Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Corporation in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities will be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation for such price per share. For the purposes of this paragraph, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable” will be determined by dividing (A) the total amount received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 5C(iii), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price will be made when Common Stock is actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustments of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this part 5, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price will be made by reason of such issue or sale.

 

 
 

 

 

(iii)     Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock change at any time (other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution of the type set forth in this part 5 and which have no more favorable effect on the holders of such Options or Convertible Securities than this part 5 would have if this part 5 were included in such Options or Convertible Securities, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change will be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. If the purchase price provided for in any Option, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock is reduced at any time under or by reason of provisions with respect thereto designed to protect against dilution of the type set forth herein and which have no more favorable effect on the holders of such Options or Convertible Securities than the provisions hereof would have if the provisions hereof were included in such Options or Convertible Securities, then in the case of the delivery of Common Stock upon the exercise of any such Option or other conversion or exchange of any such Convertible Security, the Conversion Price than in effect hereunder will forthwith be adjusted to such respective amount as would have been obtained had such Option or Convertible Security never been issued as to such Common Stock and had adjustments been made upon the issuance of the shares of Common Stock delivered, but only if as a result of such adjustment the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder would be reduced.

 

(iv)     Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible Securities. Upon the expiration of any Option or the termination of any right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities without the exercise of such Option or right, the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder will be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.

 

(v)     Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the amount received by the Corporation therefor, not of all sales or underwriting commissions, discounts or fees. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Corporation will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Corporation will be the Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any merger in which the Corporation is the surviving Corporation, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving Corporation as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash and securities will be determined jointly by the Corporation and the holders of a majority of the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock. If such parties are unable to reach agreement, the fair value of such consideration will be determined by appraisers jointly selected by the Corporation and the holders of a majority of the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

 
 

 

 

(vi)     Integrated Transactions. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Corporation, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Option by the parties thereto, the Option will be deemed to have been issued without consideration.

 

(vii)    Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time does not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held will be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

 

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

 

5D.     Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced, and if the Corporation at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

 

5E.     Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

 

(i)       General Provisions. If any capital reorganization, reclassification (other than as contemplated by paragraph 5D), consolidation, merger or any sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets to another Person (collectively an “Organic Change”) is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, Securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition to such Organic Change, lawful and adequate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Convertible Preferred Stock thee outstanding) will be made whereby each of the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of shares of Conversion Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of such holder’s Convertible Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Conversion Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock had such Organic Change not taken place. In any such case appropriate provision will be made with respect to such holder’s rights and interests to the end that the provisions of this Part 5 and parts 6 and 7 will thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock (including, in the case of any such consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor Corporation or purchasing Corporation is other than the Corporation, an immediate adjustment of the Conversion Price to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale if the value so reflected is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale). The Corporation will not affect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Corporation (if other than the Corporation) resulting from consolidation or merger or the Corporation purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument (in form reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding), the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to acquire.

 

 
 

 

 

(ii)     Alternate Rights. In addition to the rights granted in paragraph 5E(i), at the election of any holder of any Shares of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to notice given to the Corporation on or before the later of (i) the day on which the Organic Change is approved by the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon; and (ii) the twentieth day following the date of delivery or mailing to such holder of the last proxy statement relating to the vote on the Organic Change by the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, such holder shall have the right to receive on the date upon which the Organic Change will take place, and as a condition precedent to the Organic Change, in full payment and in consideration for the surrender of such Shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, a cash amount equal to the higher of the value of the current Redemption Price of such Shares and the Market Price of the number of shares of Conversion Stock to which the holder of such Shares would have been entitled had such holder converted such Shares immediately prior to the consummation of the Organic Change.

 

5F.     Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this part 5 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, then the Board of Directors of the Corporation will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this part 5 or decrease the number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

5G.     Notices.

 

(i)       Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Corporation will send written notice thereof to all holders of Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

(ii)      The Corporation will send written notice to all holders of Convertible Preferred Stock at least 20 days prior to the date on which the Corporation closes its books or takes a record (a) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon Common Stock, (b) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (c) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation.

 

(iii)     The Corporation will also give to the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation will take place.

 

 
 

 

 

5H.     Automatic Conversion. At such time as the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding shall be less than 200,000, then all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, if any, will, without any action on the part of the Corporation, or the holders thereof, be immediately converted into shares of Conversion Stock in accordance with the terms of this part 5, and thereafter no shares of Convertible Preferred Stock will be outstanding and any holder of a certificate for shares of Convertible Preferred Stock will be deemed to be the holder of the number of shares of Conversion Stock into which the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such certificate were so converted, provided, however, that no such conversion shall be affected pursuant to this paragraph 5H if the Corporation shall have given prior notice of its election to redeem the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph 4C.

 

5I.      Converted Shares. Any Shares which are converted pursuant to this part 5 will be cancelled and will not be reissued, sold or transferred.

 

6.       Liquidating Dividends. If the Corporation declares a dividend upon the Common Stock payable other than in shares of Common Stock or other than out of earnings or earned surplus (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied) (a “Liquidating Dividend”), then the Corporation will pay to the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock at the time of payment of a Liquidating Dividend an amount equal to the aggregate value of all Liquidating Dividends which would have been paid on the Conversion Stock had such Convertible Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for such Liquidating Dividend, or, if no record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividends are to be determined. For purposes of this part 6, a dividend other than in cash will not be considered payable out of earnings or earned surplus regardless of whether or not earnings or earned surplus are charged an amount equal to the fair value of such dividend.

 

7.        Purchase Rights. If at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any Class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then each holder of Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of Conversion Stock acquirable upon conversion of such holder’s Convertible Preferred Stock immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of each Purchase Rights.

 

 
 

 

 

8.        Miscellaneous.     

 

8A.     Registration of Transfer. The Corporation will keep at its principal office a register for the registration of Convertible Preferred Stock.

Each such new certificate will be registered in such name and will represent such number of shares as is requested by the holder of the surrendered certificate and will be substantially identical in form to the surrendered certificate.
