PURSUANT TO SECTION 151(g) OF THE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW

OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE

 

THE UNDERSIGNED, being the Chief Financial Officer of Virtusa Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in accordance with the provisions of Section 103 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), does hereby certify to the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Secretary”) that, in accordance with the provisions of Section 151(g) of the DGCL, the Company’s Seventh Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”), and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”), the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”), duly adopted on or as of April 30, 2017, the following resolutions, which resolutions remain in full force and effect as of the date hereof:

 

RESOLVED, that pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate (which authorizes 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”)), and the authority vested in the Board of Directors, a series of Preferred Stock be, and it hereby is, created, and that the designation and number of shares of such series, and the voting and other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof are as set forth in the Certificate and this Certificate of Designations, as it may be amended from time to time as follows:

 

SECTION 1. Designation and Number. A series of Preferred Stock, designated the “3.875% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”), is hereby established out of the authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock of the Company. The number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock initially shall be 38,000.

 

SECTION 2. Rank. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock will rank, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company: (i) senior to all classes or series of the Common Stock, and to any other class or series of capital stock of the Company now or hereafter authorized, issued or outstanding expressly designated as ranking junior to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; (ii) on a parity with the 3.875% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and any other class or series of capital stock of the Company now or hereafter authorized, issued or outstanding expressly designated as ranking on a parity with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, as to dividend rights and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; and (iii) junior to any other class or series of capital stock of the Company now or hereafter authorized, issued or outstanding expressly designated as ranking senior to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The term “capital stock” does not include convertible or exchangeable debt securities, which, prior to conversion or exchange, will rank senior in right of payment to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock will rank junior in right of payment to the Company’s other existing and future debt obligations.

 

SECTION 3. Dividends.

 

(a) The Company shall declare and pay, unless prohibited by Section 170 of the DGCL, cumulative dividends at the rate of 3.875% per annum (the “Dividend Rate”) of the $1,000 liquidation preference per share of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock (equivalent to the fixed annual amount of $38.75 per share of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock). Such dividends on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall accumulate and be cumulative from and including the date of original issuance thereof and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date, commencing

 



 

August 1, 2017, payable in cash, by delivery of shares of Common Stock or through any combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion (subject to the limitations described herein and in the Investment Agreement); provided, however, that if any Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the dividend which would otherwise have been payable on such Dividend Payment Date may be paid on the next succeeding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if paid on such Dividend Payment Date, and no interest or additional dividends or other sums shall accrue or accumulate on the amount so payable from such Dividend Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day. The amount of any dividend payable on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock for any partial Dividend Period shall be prorated and computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and, for partial months, on the basis of the number of days actually elapsed in a 30-day month. Dividends will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the stockholder records of the Company at the close of business on the applicable Dividend Record Date.

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, dividends on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall accumulate whether or not the payment of such dividends is prohibited by Section 170 of the DGCL.

 

(c) Except as provided in Section 3(d) below and except for Permitted Distributions (other than Permitted Distributions described in clause (v) and clause (vii) of the definition thereof), the Company shall not (unless full cumulative dividends on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock for all past Dividend Periods shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid in full or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full in cash is set aside for such payment): (i) (A) declare and pay or declare and set aside for payment of dividends, or (B) declare and make any distribution of cash or other property, directly or indirectly, in each case, on or with respect to any shares of the Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of the capital stock of the Company ranking, as to dividends and/or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, on a parity with or junior to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock (other than the Series A Preferred Stock), for any period; or (ii) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for any consideration, or make any other distribution of cash or other property, directly or indirectly, on or with respect to, or pay or make available any monies for a sinking fund for the redemption of, any shares of the Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of the capital stock of the Company ranking, as to dividends and/or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, on a parity with or junior to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock (other than the Series A Preferred Stock).

 

(d) When dividends are not paid in full and a sum sufficient for such full payment thereof is not set aside for such payment upon the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Company ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and each such other class or series of capital stock of the Company ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and such other class or series of capital stock of the Company shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accumulated dividends per share on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and such other class or series of capital stock of the Company (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid dividends on such other class or series of capital stock of the Company for prior dividend periods if such other class or series of capital stock of the Company does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other.  No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock which may be in arrears.

 

(e) Holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property or shares of capital stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock as provided herein. Any dividend payment made on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividends due with respect to such shares which remain payable. Accumulated but unpaid dividends on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock will accumulate as of the Dividend Payment Date on which they first become payable.

 

(f)            Method of Payment of Dividends.

 

(i) Subject to the restrictions set forth herein, the Company shall pay any dividend on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock for a current Dividend Period or any prior Dividend Period, determined in its sole discretion: (i) in cash; (ii) by delivery of shares of Common Stock; or (iii) by payment and delivery, as the case may be, of any combination of cash and shares of Common Stock.  All cash payments to which a Holder is entitled in connection with a dividend

declared on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be rounded to the nearest cent.  The Company shall not be permitted to declare or pay any dividend on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock in shares of Common Stock, in whole or in part, (x) prior to August 1, 2018, (y) if adequate current public information with respect to the Company is not, as of the relevant Dividend Payment Date, available or deemed available in accordance with subsection (c) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (z) if the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock paid as a dividend on any Dividend Payment Date would exceed the number of shares of Common Stock that could be sold as of such Dividend Payment Date pursuant to Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act.  In addition, the Company shall not be permitted to declare or pay any dividend on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock in shares of Common Stock, in whole or in part, unless full cumulative dividends on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock for all past Dividend Periods shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid in full in cash or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full in cash is set aside for such payment.

 

(ii)  If the Company elects to satisfy a dividend payment, or any portion thereof, in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be valued for such purpose, in the case of any dividend payment, or portion thereof, at 95 % of the Market Value determined for the period ending immediately prior to, but excluding, the Dividend Payment Date for such dividend.

 

(iii) The Company shall make each dividend payment on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock in cash, except to the extent the Company validly elects to make all or any portion of such payment, and is permitted to elect and make such payment pursuant to the terms hereof and the terms of the Investment Agreement, in shares of Common Stock.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company is not permitted to pay any dividend on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock in shares of Common Stock, in whole or part, pursuant to the terms hereof and the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Company shall pay such dividend (or portion thereof) in cash, unless prohibited by Section 170 of the DGCL. The Company shall give the Holders notice of any such election and the portion of such payment that will be made in cash and the portion that will be made in Common Stock no later than four scheduled Trading Days prior to the Dividend Payment Date for such dividend.

 

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not be permitted to pay any dividend (or portion thereof) on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock in shares of Common Stock if the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered in respect of such dividend, combined with the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock previously delivered in respect of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, would exceed 1,693,309 shares of Common Stock, as adjusted at the same time and in the same manner as the Conversion Rate may be adjusted pursuant to Section 6(f)(i) through (v).

 

(v) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be delivered by the Company to Holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock in payment or partial payment of a dividend. Instead, the number of shares of Common Stock delivered to the Holders in respect of dividends shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

 

(vi) The Person in whose name the shares of Common Stock shall be delivered in respect of any dividend payable on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be treated as a stockholder of record in respect of such shares of Common Stock as of the open of business on the relevant Dividend Payment Date.

 

(vii) The Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock in respect of any dividends, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests that such shares of Common Stock be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax.

 

SECTION 4. Liquidation Preference.

 

(a) Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, before any distribution or payment shall be made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other class or series of capital stock of the Company ranking, as to rights upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, junior to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to its stockholders, after payment of or provision for the debts and other liabilities of the Company, a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid dividends (whether or not authorized or declared) to, but excluding, the date of payment. If, upon such voluntary or involuntary liquidation,

dissolution or winding up, the available assets of the Company are insufficient to pay the full amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of each other class or series of capital stock of the Company ranking, as to the distribution of the Company’s assets upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, on a parity with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets, then the holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and each such other class or series of shares of capital stock of the Company ranking, as to the distribution of the Company’s assets upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, on a parity with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

 

(b) Written notice of any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given to Holders not fewer than 20 nor more than 40 Business Days prior to the payment date stated therein, at the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Company. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the Holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, and for the avoidance of doubt, no Fundamental Change, Reorganization Event, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person, or voluntary sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the Company, shall be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

 

(c) In determining whether a distribution (other than upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation), by dividend, repurchase or other acquisition of shares of capital stock of the Company or otherwise, is permitted under the DGCL, amounts that would be needed, if the Company were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall not be added to the Company’s total liabilities.

 

SECTION 5. Voting Rights; Conversion into Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(a) The Holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights except as otherwise required by Delaware law and as provided in Section 5(b) below.  At such time as any waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 applicable to the acquisition of shares of Preferred Stock expires or is terminated (such expiration or termination being referred to as “HSR Clearance”) then all shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock then issued and outstanding shall immediately and automatically convert on a one for one basis to shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “HSR Conversion”) in accordance with the procedures identified in this Section 5(a).

 

(i) As promptly as practicable, and in no event later than the third business day after the effective date of the HSR Conversion, in the case of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock held in certificated form, the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered in respect of each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock being converted, certificates representing one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share (as equitably adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, combination, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock or Series A-1 Preferred Stock, as applicable) of Series A Preferred Stock, if then certificated. In the case of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock held in Global Share form, upon conversion of an interest in a Global Share pursuant to the HSR Conversion, the Company shall cause, as promptly as practicable, and in no event later than the third business day after the effective date of the HSR Conversion, the Conversion Agent to make a notation on such Global Share as to the reduction in the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock represented thereby and shall cause to be delivered to the relevant Holder, in respect of each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock being converted, one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share (as equitably adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, combination, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock or Series A-1 Preferred Stock, as applicable) of Series A Preferred Stock.  Such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be issued and delivered to the Holder in book-entry format through the Depositary. This conversion will be deemed to have been made on the effective date of the HSR Conversion so that the rights of the Holder of shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock as to the shares being converted will cease except for the right to receive the shares of Series A Preferred Stock deliverable upon conversion, and, if applicable, the person entitled to receive shares of Series A

Preferred Stock will be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of those shares of Series A Preferred Stock as of the Conversion Date.

 

(ii) A Holder of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Series A Preferred Stock until the occurrence of the HSR Conversion.

 

(iii) The Person in whose name the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be delivered upon the HSR Conversion pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall be treated as a stockholder of record in respect of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock as of the close of business on the effective date of the HSR Conversion. Upon the HSR Conversion of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Holder shall no longer be a Holder of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

 

(iv) All accumulated but unpaid dividends on such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock immediately prior to such HSR Conversion shall be converted into an equivalent amount of accumulated but unpaid dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock immediately following such HSR Conversion.  For the avoidance of doubt, any dividends accumulating on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock following such HSR Conversion shall accumulate pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Certificate of The Powers, Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Company’s 3.875% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock commencing on the effective date of the HSR Conversion.

 

(b) So long as any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the affirmative vote or consent of the Holders of two-thirds of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting will be required to amend, alter or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation, combination, reclassification or otherwise, any provisions of the Certificate (including the provisions of this Certificate of Designations), in a manner that would adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or powers of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock; provided, however, that, in the case of a merger, consolidation or combination, so long as the Series A-1 Preferred Stock remains outstanding with the terms thereof unchanged, or the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is converted into or exchanged for, preference securities of the surviving entity, or its ultimate parent, with such rights, preferences, privileges and powers, not less favorable to the holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock than the rights, preferences, privileges and powers of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the occurrence of such event, amendment, alteration or repeal shall not be deemed to adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or powers of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and in such case such holders shall not have any voting rights with respect thereto. Holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote as a separate class with respect to: (A) any increase in the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock (other than Series A-1 Preferred Stock); (B) the creation or issuance of any other class or series of capital stock ranking junior to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or (C) except to the extent such vote is expressly required under this Section 5(b), approve or consummate any Reorganization Event or Fundamental Change.

 

(c) The foregoing voting provisions of this Section 5 shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall have been converted, repurchased or otherwise reacquired or surrendered for conversion, repurchase or reacquisition upon proper notice and sufficient funds, in cash and/or shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, shall have been deposited in trust to satisfy in full such conversion, repurchase or reacquisition.

 

(d) Without the consent of the Holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, so long as such action does not adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges and powers of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and to the extent permitted by law, the Company may amend, alter, supplement, or repeal any terms of the Certificate or this Certificate of Designations for the following purposes:

 

(i) to cure any ambiguity, or to cure, correct, or supplement any provision that may be ambiguous, defective, or inconsistent; or

 

(ii) to make any provision with respect to matters or questions relating to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock that is not inconsistent with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations.

 

5



 

(e) The rules and procedures for calling and conducting any meeting of the Holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock (including, without limitation, the fixing of a record date in connection therewith), the solicitation and use of proxies at such a meeting, the obtaining of written consents and any other procedural aspect or matter with regard to such a meeting or such consents shall be governed by any rules the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may adopt from time to time, which rules and procedures shall conform to the requirements of this Certificate of Designations, the Certificate, the Bylaws and applicable law.

 

SECTION 6. Conversion Rights.

 

(a) Conversion at Holder’s Option.

 

(i) Holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, at their option, may, at any time and from time to time, convert some or all of their outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock (but only in a whole number of shares)  into Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Rate.

 

(ii) The Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6(a). Instead, the Company shall pay the cash value of such fractional shares based upon the Closing Sale Price (as defined below) per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Conversion Date (as defined below) or the Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined below) for the Company Conversion Option (as defined below), as applicable.

 

(iii) Holders’ Conversion Procedures.

 

(A) Holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock may convert some or all of their shares by:  in the case of (1) a Global Share, complying with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time, and (2) a Physical Share (a) completing, manually signing and delivering an irrevocable notice to the Conversion Agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (or a facsimile thereof) (a “Notice of Conversion”) at the office of the Conversion Agent and stating in writing therein the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon conversion to be registered, (b) surrendering such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, and (c) if required, furnishing appropriate endorsements and transfer documents.  A share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted pursuant to this Section 6(a) immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.  The Conversion Agent shall notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this Section 6(a) on the Conversion Date for such conversion.  No Notice of Conversion with respect to any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock may be surrendered by a Holder thereof pursuant to this Section 6(a) if such Holder has also delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice to the Company in respect of such shares and such Holder has not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 6(j)(iv).

 

(B) If a Holder submits shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock for conversion, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock upon conversion thereof, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests that such shares of Common Stock be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax.  The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver any shares of Common Stock being delivered upon conversion to a Person other than the Holder of the relevant Series A-1 Preferred Stock until the Conversion Agent or the Company receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax that is payable by such Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

 

(C) As promptly as practicable, and in no event later than the third Business Day after the Conversion Date with respect to any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, in the case of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock held in certificated form, the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered (1) in respect of each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock being converted, certificates representing the number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, if then certificated, equal to the Conversion Rate, together with a cash payment, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with Section 6(a)(ii), to which the Holders of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, or the transferee of the Holder of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, will be entitled and (2) if less than the full number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate or certificates, if any, or specified in the notice, is being converted, a new

 

6



 

certificate or certificates, of like tenor, for the number of shares represented by the surrendered certificate or certificates, less the number of shares being converted, if the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is then certificated. In the case of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock held in Global Share form, upon conversion of an interest in a Global Share pursuant to this Section 6(a), the Company shall cause, as promptly as practicable, and in no event later than the third Business Day after the Conversion Date, the Conversion Agent to make a notation on such Global Share as to the reduction in the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock represented thereby and shall cause to be delivered to the relevant Holder, in respect of each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock being converted, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, together with a cash payment, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with Section 6(a)(ii), as promptly as practicable and in no event later than the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date.  Such shares of Common Stock shall be issued and delivered to the converting Holder in book-entry format through the Depositary. This conversion will be deemed to have been made on the Conversion Date so that the rights of the Holder of shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock as to the shares being converted will cease except for the right to receive the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion, and, if applicable, the person entitled to receive shares of Common Stock will be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of those shares of Common Stock as of the Conversion Date.  Upon a conversion of any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the converting Holder shall no longer be a Holder of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

 

(D) A Holder of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock until such Holder of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock has converted its shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and only to the extent the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are deemed to have been converted into shares of Common Stock under this Certificate of Designations.

 

(F) If more than one share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock is surrendered for conversion by the same Holder at the same time, the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of those shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be computed on the basis of the total number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock so surrendered.

 

(G) The Person in whose name the shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion pursuant to this Section 6(a) shall be treated as a stockholder of record in respect of such shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date. Upon a conversion of any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6(a), such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

 

(b) Company Conversion Option

 

(i) On or after May 3, 2020, the Company may, at its option, at any time or from time to time, cause some or all of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Rate, if (and only if) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on NASDAQ equals or exceeds 150% of the then-applicable Conversion Price of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock for at least 20 Trading Days during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period (including the last Trading Day of such period) ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Company’s issuance of notice of the exercise of the Company Conversion Option pursuant to this Section 6(b).  The Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6(b). Instead, the Company shall pay the cash value of such fractional shares based upon the Closing Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the relevant Mandatory Conversion Date.

 

(ii) If the Company converts less than all of the outstanding shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6(b), the Conversion Agent shall select the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock that are subject to the Company Conversion Option by lot, on a pro rata basis or in accordance with any other method the Conversion Agent considers fair and appropriate.  The Company may convert the Series A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6(b) only in a whole number of shares. If a portion of a Holder’s shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock is selected for partial conversion pursuant to this Section 6(b), and the Holder converts some or all of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6(a) prior to the relevant Mandatory Conversion Date, the number of shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock subject to conversion pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be reduced by the number of shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock that such Holder so converted pursuant to Section 6(a).

(iii) Company Conversion Procedures

 

(A) To exercise the Company Conversion Option, the Company must provide written notice to the Conversion Agent and each Holder of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The Company shall also publish such notice on its website or through such other public medium as it may use at that time. The “Mandatory Conversion Date” will be a date selected by the Company and will be no more than twenty (20) and not less than five (5) Trading Days after the date on which the Company provides such notice of conversion pursuant to this Section 6(b)(iii).

 

(B) In addition to any information required by applicable law or regulation, the notice of the exercise of the Company Conversion Option will state, as appropriate:

 

(1) the Mandatory Conversion Date for the Company Conversion Option;

 

(2) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock;

 

(3) the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to be converted; and

 

(4) that dividends on the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to be converted will cease to accumulate on the Mandatory Conversion Date.

 

(C) The Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock upon conversion pursuant to this Section 6(b).

 

(D) Upon conversion of any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6(b), the Company shall cause to be delivered to the relevant Holder, in respect of each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock being converted, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, together with a cash payment, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with Section 6(b)(i), on the relevant Mandatory Conversion Date.  Such shares of Common Stock shall be issued and delivered to the converting Holder in book-entry format through the Depositary.  A converting Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock until the relevant Mandatory Conversion Date.

 

(E) In the event that any Physical Share is subject to partial conversion pursuant to this Section 6(b), the Company shall execute and the Conversion Agent shall countersign and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Physical Share so subject to the Company Conversion Option a new Physical Share or Physical Shares in authorized number equal to the unconverted number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, without payment of any service charge by the relevant Holder.  Upon conversion of an interest in a Global Share pursuant to this Section 6(b), the Conversion Agent shall make a notation on such Global Share as to the reduction in the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock represented thereby.

 

(F) The Person in whose name the shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be treated as a stockholder of record in respect of such shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on the relevant Mandatory Conversion Date.  Upon a conversion of any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

 

(c) Validity, Registration, Listing, etc., of Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of, or as a dividend on, shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall, upon delivery, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free of all liens and charges and not subject to any preemptive rights. The Company covenants that if any shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon conversion of, or as a dividend on, the Series A-1 Preferred Stock hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares of Common Stock may be delivered upon conversion or in payment of such dividend, the Company shall secure such registration or approval, as the case may be, prior to delivery upon conversion or payment of such dividend.  The Company further covenants that if, at any time, the Common Stock shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Company shall list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of, or as a dividend on, the Series A-1 Preferred Stock.  Before the delivery of any securities upon conversion by the Company of, or as a dividend on, shares of Series A-1 Preferred

Stock, the Company shall comply with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations applicable to such delivery.

 

(d) Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights out of the Company’s authorized but unissued shares of capital stock, for issuance and delivery upon the conversion of, or as a dividend on, shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, 5,993,167 shares of Common Stock.

 

(e) Payment of Dividends Upon Conversion.

 

(i) Optional Conversion

 

(A) If a Holder of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock exercises its conversion right pursuant to Section 6(a), upon conversion of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the converted shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall cease to accumulate dividends as of the relevant Conversion Date, and the Holder of the converted shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall not receive any payment in respect of accumulated but unpaid dividends on the converted shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, except in those limited circumstances discussed in this Section 6(e)(i). Except as provided below in this Section 6(e)(i), the Company shall make no payment for accumulated but unpaid dividends on shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock converted at the election of Holders of such shares pursuant to Section 6(a).

 

(B) If a Holder of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock exercises its conversion right pursuant to Section 6(a) and the related Conversion Date occurs before the close of business on a Dividend Record Date, the Holder will not be entitled to receive any portion of the dividend payable, in respect of the Dividend Period in which such Dividend Record Date falls, on such converted shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date.

 

(C) If a Holder of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock exercises its conversion right pursuant to Section 6(a) and the related Conversion Date occurs after the close of business on a Dividend Record Date but prior to the open of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, the Holder of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock at the close of business on the Dividend Record Date will receive on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, in respect of the Dividend Period in which such Dividend Record Date falls, the amount of accumulated dividends payable (if any) on those shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock on such Dividend Payment Date, notwithstanding the conversion of those shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock prior to that Dividend Payment Date, reduced on a prorated basis by the number of days from, and including, such Conversion Date to, but excluding, the relevant Dividend Payment Date.

 

(D) If the Holder of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock is a Holder of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock on a Dividend Record Date and converts such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 6(a), and the related Conversion Date occurs on or after the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, such Holder of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable on such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock for the relevant Dividend Period on such corresponding Dividend Payment Date.

 

(E) If a Holder of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock exercises its conversion right pursuant to Section 6(a), and all accumulated dividends in respect of all prior Dividend Periods through, and including, the Dividend Period ending on the Dividend Payment Date occurring immediately prior to the relevant Conversion Date have not been paid in full, then, for purposes of such conversion, the Conversion Rate for each such share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be subject to increase by a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the amount, per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, of such accumulated but unpaid dividends, divided by the then applicable Conversion Price as of the Conversion Date.

(ii) Company Conversion Option

 

(A) If the Company exercises the Company Conversion Option pursuant to Section 6(b), upon conversion of the relevant shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the converted shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall cease to accumulate dividends as of the relevant Mandatory Conversion Date, and the Holder of the converted shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall not receive any payment in respect of accumulated but unpaid dividends on the converted shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, except in the limited circumstances discussed in this Section 6(e)(ii). Except as provided below in this Section 6(e)(ii), the Company shall make no payment for accumulated but unpaid dividends on shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock subject to the Company Conversion Option pursuant to Section 6(b).

 

(B) If the Company exercises the Company Conversion Option pursuant to Section 6(b) in respect of any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and the related Mandatory Conversion Date occurs before the close of business on a Dividend Record Date, the Holder will not be entitled to receive any portion of the dividend payable, in respect of the Dividend Period in which such Dividend Record Date falls, on such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date.

 

(C) If the Company exercises the Company Conversion Option and the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date is on or after the close of business on any Dividend Record Date and prior to the close of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, the full amount of dividends payable on such Dividend Payment Date with respect to the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock subject to the Company Conversion Option will be payable on such Dividend Payment Date, in respect of the Dividend Period in which such Dividend Record Date falls, to the Holder of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock on such Dividend Record Date, reduced on a prorated basis by the number of days from, and including, such Mandatory Conversion Date to, but excluding, the relevant Dividend Payment Date.

 

(D) If the Company exercises the Company Conversion Option and the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date occurs on or after the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, the Holder of the relevant shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable on such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock for the relevant Dividend Period on such corresponding Dividend Payment Date.

 

(E) If the Company exercises the Company Conversion Option, and all accumulated dividends in respect of all prior Dividend Periods through, and including, the Dividend Period ending on the Dividend Payment Date occurring immediately prior to the relevant Mandatory Conversion Date have not been paid in full, then, for purposes of such conversion, the Conversion Rate for each such share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be subject to increase by a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the amount, per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, of such accumulated but unpaid dividends, divided by the then applicable Conversion Price as of the Mandatory Conversion Date.

 

(f) Conversion Rate Adjustments. The Company shall adjust the Conversion Rate from time to time as follows:

 

(i) If the Company issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination in respect of the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted pursuant to the following formula:

 

CR1 = CR0 × OS1/OS0

 

where

 

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be;

 

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be;

 

OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend or distribution, or such share split or share combination, as the case may be; and

 

10



 

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be.

 

Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (i) shall become effective immediately after (x) the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or other distribution or (y) the open of business on the effective date of such split or combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution described in this paragraph (i) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be re-adjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

 

(ii) If the Company distributes to all holders of Common Stock any rights, warrants or options entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 60 days after the announcement date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Closing Sale Price per share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date for such distribution, then the Company shall adjust the Conversion Rate pursuant to the following formula:

 

CR1 = CR0 × (OS0+X)/(OS0+Y)

 

where

 

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;

 

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect at and after the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;

 

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;

 

X = the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, warrants or options; and

 

Y = the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, warrants or options divided by (B) the average of the Closing Sale Price per share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date for the distribution of such rights, warrants or options.

 

Any increase to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this paragraph (ii) shall become effective as of the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution. For purposes of this paragraph (ii), in determining whether any rights, warrants or options entitle the holders of shares of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the average of the Closing Sale Price per share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date for the relevant distribution, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, warrants or options, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, warrants or options and any amount payable upon exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors (or committee thereof). If any right, warrant or option described in this paragraph (ii) is not exercised prior to the expiration of the exercisability thereof, the Company shall re-adjust the Conversion Rate to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such right, warrant or option had not been so distributed.

 

(iii) If the Company distributes shares of its capital stock, evidence of indebtedness or other securities, assets or property of the Company to all holders of Common Stock (excluding (A) dividends or distributions referred to in paragraph (i) or (ii) above; (B) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash; (C) Spin-Offs, as described below in this paragraph (iii); (D) except as described in Section 6(f)(vi) below, rights issued pursuant to any stockholder rights plan of the Company then in effect; and (E) any dividends and distributions of Reference Property in exchange for, or upon conversion of, the Common Stock upon the occurrence of a Reorganization Event), then the Company shall increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to the following formula:

 

CR1 = CR0 × SP0/(SP0 – FMV)

 

where

 

11



 

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;

 

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect at and after the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;

 

SP0 = the average of the Closing Sale Price per share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

 

FMV = the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors or committee thereof) of the shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, securities, assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock as of the Record Date for such distribution.

 

Any increase to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the applicable Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall receive, in respect of each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock without having to convert its shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the amount and kind of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, other securities, assets or property of the Company that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Record Date for the distribution.

 

If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to one of the Company’s subsidiaries or other business units that is, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), then the Company shall increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to the following formula:

 

CR1 = CR0 × (FMV0+MP0 )/ MP0

 

where

 

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off;

 

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect at and after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off;

 

FMV0 = the average of the Closing Sale Prices per share of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to all or substantially all holders of shares of Common Stock in respect of each share of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; and

 

MP0 = the average of the Closing Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off.

 

Any increase to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; provided that (A) in respect of any conversion within the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off, references within the preceding paragraph to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the effective date of such Spin-Off to, and including, the Conversion Date or Mandatory Conversion Date, as the case may be, in determining the applicable Conversion Rate, and (B) if the Conversion Date or Mandatory Conversion Date, as the case may be, for a conversion occurs after the Record Date for a Spin-Off, but on or prior to the first Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off, such Conversion Date or Mandatory Conversion Date will be postponed until the Business Day immediately following such Trading Day (and the definitions of “FMV0” and “MP0” (as defined above) will be modified pursuant to clause (A) above).

 

If any such distribution described in the preceding paragraph is declared but not paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

 

12



 

(iv) If the Company makes any cash dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock (excluding any dividend or distribution in connection with the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up), then the Company shall increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to the following formula:

 

CR1 = CR0 × SP0/(SP0 – C)

 

where

 

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

 

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect at and after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

 

SP0 = the average of the Closing Sale Price per share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and

 

C = the amount in cash per share that the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock.

 

Any increase to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this paragraph (iv) shall become effective at the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall receive, in respect of each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock without having to convert its shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Record Date for the relevant dividend or distribution. If any dividend or distribution described in this paragraph (iv) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be re-adjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

 

(v) If the Company or any of its subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock that is subject to the tender offer rules of the Exchange Act that are then applicable (other than an odd-lot tender offer), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the average of the Closing Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

 

CR1 = CR0 × (AC + (SP1 × OS1))/(SP1 × OS0)

 

where

 

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

 

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect at and after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

 

AC = the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors or committee thereof) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

 

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the date such tender or exchange offer expires (before giving effect to the purchase or exchange of Common Stock pursuant to such tender or exchange offer);

 

OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the close of business on the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase or exchange of Common Stock pursuant to such tender or exchange offer); and

 

SP1 = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

 

13



 

Any increase to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this paragraph (v) shall become effective at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires. If, however, the Conversion Date or Mandatory Conversion Date, as the case may be, for any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock occurs during the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires, the reference in the above definition of “SP1” to “10” and the references in the above definitions of “CR0” and “CR1” to “10th” shall be deemed replaced with references to such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date to, and including, such Conversion Date or Mandatory Conversion Date, as the case may be.

 

If the Company or one of its subsidiaries is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall be re-adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.

 

(vi) If the Company has in effect a rights plan while any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock remain outstanding, Holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall receive, upon a conversion of such shares of, or in respect of a payment of dividend in shares of Common Stock on, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, in addition to the shares of Common Stock due upon conversion or in respect of such dividend, rights under the Company’s stockholder rights agreement, unless the rights have separated from Common Stock. If the rights provided for in any rights plan that the Board of Directors may adopt have separated from the Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights agreement, the Company shall adjust the Conversion Rate at the time of separation as if the Company had distributed, to all holders of the Common Stock, capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other securities, assets or property of the Company pursuant to paragraph (iii) above, subject to re-adjustment upon the subsequent expiration, termination or redemption of the rights.

 

(vii) The Company shall not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if all Holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are permitted to participate, on an as-converted basis, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock without having to convert any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, in the transactions described in paragraphs (i) through (vi) above.

 

(viii) The Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted except as specifically set forth in this Section 6. Without limiting the foregoing, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted for (A) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities or those of the Company’s subsidiaries, and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan; (B) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase such shares pursuant to any of the Company’s present or future employee, director, trustee or consultant benefit plan, employee agreement or arrangement or program or those of the Company’s subsidiaries; (C) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the date shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock were first issued; (D) a change in the par value of Common Stock; (E) accumulated and unpaid dividends or distributions on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock (subject to any arrearages for past Dividend Periods ending prior to such corresponding Dividend Payment Date being converted to Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price in connection with any conversion under this Section 6 in accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(E) or Section 6(e)(ii)(E), as applicable); or (F) any Permitted Distributions under clauses (iv) and (vii) of the definition thereof.

 

(ix) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required pursuant to this Section 6(f) unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Rate. If the adjustment is not made pursuant to this Section 6(f) because the adjustment does not change the Conversion Rate by at least 1%, then the adjustment that is not made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment. All required calculations shall be made to the nearest cent or 1/10,000th of a share, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon conversion of any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock by Holders thereof or pursuant to the Company Conversion Option, all adjustments not previously made pursuant to this Section 6(f) shall be made immediately prior to determining the relevant Conversion Rate in respect of the corresponding Conversion Date or Mandatory Conversion Date, as applicable.

 

14



 

(x) Whenever any provision of this Certificate of Designations requires the Company to calculate the Closing Sale Prices over a span of multiple days, the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Record Date,  Ex-Dividend Date, effective date or expiration date, as the case may be, of the event occurs at any time during the period when the Closing Sale Prices are to be calculated.

 

(xi) If and to the extent required by applicable law, the Company may withhold United States federal income tax in the case of a non-U.S. holder with respect to any deemed distribution from the Company, from cash payments of dividends, and any payments due upon repurchase or conversion of the shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

 

(g) Effect of Reorganization Events. In the case of the following events:

 

(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination);

 

(ii) a consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company;

 

(iii) a sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer to another Person of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and assets; or

 

(iv) a statutory share exchange,

 

in each case, as a result of which holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) with respect to or in exchange for the Common Stock (each a “Reorganization Event”), a Holder of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled thereafter to convert such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that such Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Reorganization Event as if such Holder of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock held, in respect of each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the effective date for such Reorganization Event (the “Reference Property”). However, at and after the effective time of the Reorganization Event, (x) any shares of Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of, or as a dividend on, shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock will instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have received in such Reorganization Event and (y) the Closing Sale Price will be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have received in such Reorganization Event. In the event that holders of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such Reorganization Event, the Reference Property into which shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be convertible, or in which the Company, subject to the terms hereof and of the Investment Agreement, may pay a dividend on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election (or, if no holders of Common Stock affirmatively make such an election, the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by all holders of Common Stock). The Company shall notify Holders and the Conversion Agent in writing of the weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.  Following any Reorganization Event, the anti-dilution and other adjustments in this Certificate of Designations shall apply as nearly as is possible to the Reference Property, and this Section 6(g) shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events.

 

(h) Intentionally Omitted.

(i) Conversion in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

 

(i) If the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date (or later date on which all shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are repurchased pursuant to Section 13) and a Holder elects to convert its shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, under the circumstances described below, increase the Conversion Rate for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”), as described below.  A conversion of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Notice of Conversion is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change) (such period, the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period”).

 

(ii) Upon surrender of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 6(a), the Company shall deliver shares of Common Stock, including the Additional Shares, in accordance with Section 6(a), subject to the provisions of Section 6(g).  The Company shall give notice to the Conversion Agent and the Holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change announcing such Effective Date no later than five (5) Business Days after such Effective Date.

 

(iii) The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of the Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change.  If the holders of the Common Stock receive in exchange for their Common Stock only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share.  Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock on the 10 consecutive Trading Days prior to but not including the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change becomes effective. The Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to the Stock Price, in its good faith determination, to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Record Date, Ex-Dividend Date, effective date or expiration date of the event occurs during such ten consecutive Trading Day period.

 

(iv) The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is otherwise adjusted as set forth in Section 6(f).  The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted.  The number of Additional Shares set forth in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 6(f).

 

(v) The following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6(i) for each Stock Price and Effective Date set forth below:

The exact Stock Price and Effective Date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

 

(A)                               if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table above or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day or 366-day year, as applicable;

 

(B)                               if the Stock Price is greater than $111.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (iv) above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate; and

 

(C)                               if the Stock Price is less than $30.98 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (iv) above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Certificate of Designations to the contrary, in no event shall the Conversion Rate per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock exceed 32.27878 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 6(f), pursuant to Section 6(e)(i)(E) and pursuant to Section 6(e)(ii)(E), and in no event shall the maximum number of shares of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the table above and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered in respect of any dividend (or portion thereof) on the Series A Preferred Stock exceed 2,206,520 shares of Common Stock, such number to be adjusted at the same time and in the same manner as the Conversion Rate may be adjusted pursuant to Section 6(f)(i) through (v).

 

(j) Holder Fundamental Change Repurchase Option.

 

(i) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Series A-1 Preferred Stock, or any whole number of shares thereof, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 Business Days or more than 35 Business Days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference thereof, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”), unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Dividend Record Date but on or prior to the Dividend Payment Date to which such Dividend Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of accumulated and unpaid dividends (if any) payable for the Dividend Period ending on such Dividend Payment Date, reduced on a pro rata basis by the number of days from, and including, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date to, but excluding, such Dividend Payment Date, to Holders of record as of such Dividend Record Date, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall not include such amount of accumulated and unpaid dividends (if any) payable for the Dividend Period ending on such Dividend Payment Date.

 

(ii) Repurchases of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock under this Section 6(j) shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

 

(A)          delivery to the Conversion Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth as the Form of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, if the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are Physical Shares, or in compliance with the Depositary’s procedures for surrendering interests in global securities, if the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are Global Shares, in each case, on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and

 

(B)          delivery of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, if the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are Physical Shares, to the Conversion Agent at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the Corporate Office of the Conversion Agent, or book-

 

17



 

entry transfer of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, if the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are Global Shares, in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in each case such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor.

 

The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in respect of any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to be repurchased shall state:

 

(x)           in the case of Physical Shares, the certificate numbers of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to be delivered for repurchase;

 

(y)           the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to be repurchased, which must be a whole number; and

 

(z)           that the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to Section 6(j) of this Certificate of Designations;

 

provided, however, that if the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are Global Shares, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice must comply with appropriate Depositary procedures.

 

(iii) On or before the 20th Business Day after the occurrence of the effective date of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the Conversion Agent a notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the effective date of the Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof.  Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:

 

(A)          the events causing the Fundamental Change;

 

(B)          the date of the Fundamental Change;

 

(C)          the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this Section 6(j);

 

(D)          the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

 

(E)           the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

 

(F)           the name and address of the Conversion Agent;

 

(G)          if applicable, the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate;

 

(H)          that the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Designations; and

 

(I)            the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

 

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6(j).

 

At the Company’s request, the Conversion Agent shall give such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.

 

18



 

(iv) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Corporate Office of the Conversion Agent in accordance with this Section 6(j) at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:

 

(A)          the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted,

 

(B)          in the case of Physical Shares, the certificate number(s) of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and

 

(C)          the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which must be a whole number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock;

 

provided, however, that if the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are Global Shares, the notice must comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.

 

The Conversion Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

 

(v) The Company will deposit with the Conversion Agent on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date an amount of money sufficient to repurchase all of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to be repurchased at the appropriate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.  Subject to receipt of funds and/or shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock by the Conversion Agent, payment for shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 6(j)(ii)) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to the Conversion Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 6(j)(ii) by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock entitled thereto as they shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Company; provided, however, that payments to the Depositary shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.  The Conversion Agent shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

 

(vi) If by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Conversion Agent holds money sufficient to make payment on all the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock that are to be repurchased on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then, with respect to the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock that have been properly surrendered for repurchase and have not been validly withdrawn, (i) such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock will cease to be outstanding, (ii) dividends will cease to accumulate on such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock (whether or not book-entry transfer of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock has been made or the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock have been delivered to the Conversion Agent) and (iii) all other rights of the Holders of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and, if applicable, accumulated and unpaid dividends).

 

(vii) Upon surrender of a share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock that is to be repurchased in part pursuant to this Section 6(j), the Company shall execute and the Conversion Agent shall countersign and deliver to the Holder a new share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock in an authorized number equal to the unrepurchased number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock surrendered.  Upon surrender for repurchase of an interest in a Global Share pursuant to this Section 6(j), the Conversion Agent shall make a notation on such Global Share as to the reduction in the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock represented thereby.

 

(viii) In connection with any repurchase offer pursuant to this Section 6(j), the Company will, if required:

 

19



 

(A)          comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act;

 

(B)          file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act; and

 

(C)          otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to repurchase the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock;

 

in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Section 6(j) to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified herein.

 

(ix) If the Company fails to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date in respect of some or all shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock subject to repurchase, the Dividend Rate shall increase by one percent (1%) per annum and an additional one percent (1%) per annum on each anniversary of such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date during the period that such failure to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price as required by this Section 6(j) is continuing, until the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price is paid in full in respect of all shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock subject to repurchase; provided that the Dividend Rate shall not increase to more than 6.875% per annum.  If the Company is not legally permitted under the DGCL to repurchase all shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock that Holders have requested to be repurchased pursuant to this Section 6(j) (the “Required Number of Shares”), the Company shall (x) repurchase, pro rata among the Holders that have requested their shares be repurchased pursuant to this Section 6(j), a number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock with an aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price equal to the amount legally available for the repurchase of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock under the DGCL and (y) repurchase any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock not repurchased because of the foregoing limitations at the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price as soon as practicable after the Company is legally permitted to repurchase such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock under the DGCL. The inability of the Company to repurchase shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6(j) in full shall not relieve the Company from its obligation to effect any such required repurchase when, as and if permitted by applicable law.  In connection with any Fundamental Change, the Company shall take all actions to permit the repurchase of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that it reasonably believes (upon the advice of outside counsel) is required or permitted under Delaware law to permit any repurchase of all shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock surrendered for repurchase, including through the revaluation of the Company’s assets to the highest amount permitted by law, and take any other actions that the Board of Directors reasonably determines is necessary and appropriate to allow the Company under the DGCL to make such repurchase in full when due, and the Company shall not take any action that could reasonably be expected to materially impair the Company’s ability to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price when due (such covenants, the “Protective Payment Obligations”).  The Company shall continue to comply with the Protective Payment Obligations until the entire amount of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price is paid in full.

 

SECTION 7. No Duty to Refrain, Communicate or Offer.  None of the Initial Purchaser, the Preferred Director or any Affiliate of the Initial Purchaser, or their respective principals, directors, general partners, officers, employees, and agents and representatives acting on their behalf (each an “Identified Person”) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, have any duty to refrain from, directly or indirectly, (i) engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Company or any of its Affiliates has engaged, now engages or proposes to engage or (ii) otherwise competing with the Company or any of its Affiliates, and, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, no Identified Person shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person engages in any such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, the Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity or classes or categories of business opportunities that may be a corporate opportunity for an Identified Person and the Company or any of its Affiliates, except for any corporate opportunity which is expressly offered to, or comes to the knowledge of, an Identified Person solely in his or her capacity as a member of the Board of Directors. In the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may constitute a corporate opportunity (other than through a Preferred Director solely as a result of his or her position on the Board of Directors) for itself or himself outside of his or her capacity as a member of the Board of Directors and the Company or any of its Affiliates, such Identified Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, have no duty to communicate, present or offer such transaction or

 

20



 

other matter or business opportunity to the Company or any of its Affiliates and, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty or other duty as a stockholder, officer or director of the Company solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself or himself, offers or directs such corporate opportunity to another Person or does not present such corporate opportunity to the Company or any of its Affiliates, provided that, in each such case, any corporate opportunity which an Identified Person is expressly offered or becomes aware of solely in his or her capacity as a member of the Board of Directors shall belong to the Company.

 

SECTION 8. Record Holders. The Company, the Conversion Agent and the transfer agent may deem and treat the record holder of any Series A-1 Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and none of the Company, the Conversion Agent or the transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

SECTION 9. No Sinking Fund. No sinking fund has been established for the retirement or redemption of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and the Company is not permitted to redeem the Series A-1 Preferred Stock at any time.

 

SECTION 10. Exclusion of Other Rights. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall not have any preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of repurchase other than as expressly set forth in the Certificate and this Certificate of Designations.

 

SECTION 11. Headings of Subdivisions. The headings of the various subdivisions hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.

 

SECTION 12. Severability of Provisions. If any preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of repurchase of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock set forth in the Certificate and this Certificate of Designations are invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy (including any of the rights set forth in clause (b) of Section 5 of this Certificate of Designations), all other preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of repurchase of Series A-1 Preferred Stock set forth in the Certificate and this Certificate of Designations which can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable provision thereof shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect and no preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of repurchase of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock therein set forth shall be deemed dependent upon any other provision thereof unless so expressed therein.

 

SECTION 13. Mandatory Repurchase on Maturity Date.  On the Maturity Date, the Company shall repurchase all outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock held by each Holder at a purchase price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference of such Holder’s shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock plus accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon (the “Maturity Repurchase Price”).  If the Company fails to pay the Maturity Repurchase Price on the Maturity Date in respect of some or all outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Dividend Rate shall increase by one percent (1%) per annum and an additional one percent (1%) per annum on each anniversary of the Maturity Date during the period that such failure to pay the Maturity Repurchase Price as required by this Section 13 is continuing, until the Maturity Repurchase Price is paid in full in respect of all outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock; provided that the Dividend Rate shall not increase to more than 6.875% per annum.  If the Company is not legally permitted under the DGCL to repurchase all outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the “Maturity Required Number of Shares”) pursuant to this Section 13, the Company shall (x) repurchase, pro rata among all Holders, a number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock with an aggregate Maturity Repurchase Price equal to the amount legally available for the repurchase of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock under the DGCL and (y) repurchase any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock not repurchased because of the foregoing limitations at the applicable Maturity Repurchase Price as soon as practicable after the Company is legally permitted to repurchase such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock under the DGCL. The inability of the Company to repurchase shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 13 in full shall not relieve the Company from its obligation to effect any such required repurchase when, as and if permitted by applicable law. The Company shall take all actions to permit the repurchase of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock on the Maturity Date that it reasonably believes (upon the advice of outside counsel) is required or permitted under Delaware law to permit any repurchase of all shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock surrendered for repurchase, including through the

 

21



 

revaluation of the Company’s assets to the highest amount permitted by law, and take any other actions that the Board of Directors reasonably determines is necessary and appropriate to allow the Company under the DGCL to make such repurchase in full when due, and the Company shall not take any action that could reasonably be expected to materially impair the Company’s ability to pay the Maturity Repurchase Price (such covenants, the “Maturity Protective Payment Obligations”). The Company shall comply with the Maturity Protective Payment Obligations until the entire amount of the Maturity Repurchase Price is paid in full.

 

SECTION 14. Rule 144A Information Requirement.  At any time the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall, so long as any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, or as a dividend thereon, shall, at such time, constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, promptly provide, upon written request, to any Holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of, or as a dividend on, such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to facilitate the resale of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock or such shares of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144A.  The Company shall take such further action as any Holder or beneficial owner of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock or such shares of Common Stock may reasonably request to the extent from time to time required to enable such Holder or beneficial owner to sell such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock or such shares of Common Stock in accordance with Rule 144A, as such rule may be amended from time to time.

 

SECTION 15.  Stock Certificates.

 

(a) Shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be represented by stock certificates substantially in the form of the Form of Series A-1 Preferred Stock Certificate. Stock certificates representing shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be signed by two authorized officers of the Company, in accordance with the Bylaws and applicable Delaware law, by manual or facsimile signature. A stock certificate representing shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall not be valid until manually countersigned by an authorized signatory of the transfer agent.  Each stock certificate representing shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be dated the date of its countersignature. If any officer of the Company who has signed a stock certificate no longer holds that office at the time the transfer agent countersigns the stock certificate, the stock certificate shall be valid nonetheless.

 

(b) If Physical Shares are issued, and any of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall, at the expense of the Holder, issue, in exchange and in substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Series A-1 Preferred Stock certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Series A-1 Preferred Stock certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Series A-1 Preferred Stock certificate and indemnity, if requested, reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the transfer agent.

 

SECTION 16. Book Entry Form.

 

(a) In connection with the initial issuance of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock to the Initial Purchaser, such Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be issued in the form of one or more Physical Shares.  Following the end of the Restricted Period (as defined in the Investment Agreement), the Physical Share(s) held by the Initial Purchaser or any transferee in a Permitted Transfer (as defined in the Investment Agreement) shall be exchanged for a Global Share representing a beneficial interest in a like number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 4.18 of the Investment Agreement.  The aggregate number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock represented by each stock certificate representing Global Shares may from time to time be increased or decreased by a notation by the transfer agent on Schedule I attached to the stock certificate.

 

(b) Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Certificate of Designations with respect to any Global Shares, and the Depositary shall be treated by the Company, the Conversion Agent, the transfer agent and any agent of the Company or the transfer agent as the absolute owner of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Conversion Agent, the transfer agent or any agent of the Company or the transfer agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent

 

22
