(f)           After the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, subject to Section 4.4.2(h), if applicable, the remaining Available Assets, if any, shall be distributed among the holders of the shares of Common Stock and the Preferred Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder, treating for this purpose all such securities as if they had been converted to Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.7 immediately prior to the Liquidity Event.

 

(g)                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.4.2, if the Available Assets available for distribution or payment in connection with a Liquidity Event to the holder of each share of Series C Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4.4.2(b) and Section 4.4.2(f), excluding and disregarding for purposes of this Section 4.4.2(g) any Available Assets that are subject to any Contingency pursuant to Section 4.4.6, would result in a distribution or payment in connection with such Liquidity Event to such holder that is less than an amount equal to (i) the Series C Original Issue Price, Series C-1 Original Issue Price, Series C-2 Original Issue Price or Series D Original Issue Price, respectively, plus (ii) eight percent (8%) per annum on such Series C Original Issue Price, Series C-1 Original Issue Price, Series C-2 Original Issue Price or Series D Original Issue Price, as applicable, accruing daily and compounded annually on each share of Series C Preferred Stock from the original issuance date with respect to such share of Series C Preferred Stock, on each share of Series C-1 Preferred Stock from the original issuance date with respect to such share of Series C-1 Preferred Stock, on each share of Series C-2 Preferred Stock from the original issuance date with respect to such share of Series C-2 Preferred Stock and on each share of Series D Preferred Stock from the original issuance date with respect to such share of Series D Preferred Stock  (such amount, the “Series C Minimum Liquidation Preference,” “Series C-1 Minimum Liquidation Preference,” “Series C-2 Minimum Liquidation Preference” or “Series D Minimum Liquidation Preference,” respectively), then, instead of receiving the Series C Standard Liquidation Preference, Series C-1 Standard Liquidation Preference, Series C-2 Standard Liquidation Preference or Series D Standard Liquidation Preference under Section

 

8



 

4.4.2(b), the holder of each share of Series C Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the sum of (A) the Series C Minimum Liquidation Preference, Series C-1 Minimum Liquidation Preference, Series C-2 Minimum Liquidation Preference or Series D Minimum Liquidation Preference, as applicable, and (B) any declared but unpaid dividends on such share of Series C Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, respectively, in each case before any Available Assets are distributed and paid pursuant to Section 4.4.2(c), Section 4.4.2(d), Section 4.4.2(e) and Section 4.4.2(f).  The amount determined by subtracting the Series C Original Issue Price, Series C-1 Original Issue Price, Series C-2 Original Issue Price or Series D Original Issue Price, respectively, from the Series C Minimum Liquidation Preference, Series C-1 Minimum Liquidation Preference, Series C-2 Minimum Liquidation Preference or Series D Minimum Liquidation Preference, respectively, is referred to hereinafter as the “Series C Minimum Return,” “Series C-1 Minimum Return,” “Series C-2 Minimum Return,” or “Series D Minimum Return,” respectively.  The Series C Minimum Return, Series C-1 Minimum Return, Series C-2 Minimum Return and Series D Minimum Return are intended only to be payable as a component of the preferential distributions pursuant to Section 4.4.2(b) and this Section 4.4.2(g) if and only if the aggregate distributions to be received by each holder of Series C Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4.4.2(b) and Section 4.4.2(f) would not equal or exceed the Series C Minimum Liquidation Preference, Series C-1 Minimum Liquidation Preference, Series C-2 Minimum Liquidation Preference or Series D Minimum Liquidation Preference, respectively.

 

(h)               In the event that (i) a part of the Available Assets upon a Liquidity Event is subject to a Contingency (as defined in Section 4.4.6) (such assets, the “Restricted Assets”), (ii) upon the final and unconditional release of any Restricted Assets from the Contingency (whether by way of release from escrow, payment of earn-out or satisfaction of condition or otherwise) (such assets, the “Released Restricted Assets”), the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock have received, as a result of the application of Section 4.4.6 and Section 4.4.2(g), a distribution and payment in excess of the Series C Standard Liquidation Preference, Series C-1 Standard Liquidation Preference, Series C-2 Standard Liquidation Preference and Series D Standard Liquidation Preference, as applicable, and (iii) the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock would receive, after giving effect to this Section 4.4.2(h), pursuant to Section 4.4.2(b), Section 4.4.2(f), Section 4.4.2(g) and Section 4.4.6, distributions of Available Assets (including such Released Restricted Assets, but not including any Restricted Assets that remain subject to the Contingency) equal to or exceeding the Series C Standard Liquidation Preference, Series C-1 Standard Liquidation Preference, Series C-2 Standard Liquidation Preference and Series D Standard Liquidation Preference, as applicable, then, upon such final and unconditional release of such Released Restricted Assets from the Contingency, the distributions pursuant to Section 4.4.2(f) to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock from such Released Restricted Assets shall be reduced by the amount of distributions to holders of Series C Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4.4.2(g) and Section 4.4.6 in excess of the Series C Standard Liquidation Preference, Series C-1 Standard Liquidation Preference, Series C-2 Standard Liquidation Preference and Series D

4.4.6.                  Allocation of Escrow.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.4, upon a Liquidity Event, if any portion of the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation is placed into escrow and/or is payable to the stockholders of the Corporation subject to an earn-out, deferral or other contingencies (each such restriction, a “Contingency”), (a) any portion of such consideration that is not subject to the Contingency (the “Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Section 4.4.2 as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Liquidity Event and (b) any additional consideration which becomes payable to the stockholders of the Corporation upon release from the Contingency (whether by way of release from escrow, payment of earn-out or satisfaction of condition or otherwise) shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance

22



 

converted.  Upon the automatic conversion of the Preferred Stock, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificates representing such shares or a lost certificate affidavit and unsecured indemnity reasonably acceptable to the Corporation (“Lost Certificate Affidavit”) at the office of the Corporation or of its transfer agent.  If so required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.  Upon surrender of such certificates (or Lost Certificate Affidavit) there shall be issued and delivered to such holder, or to such holder’s nominee or nominees promptly at such office, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of the Preferred Stock surrendered were convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred.  Upon the automatic conversion of the Preferred Stock, all shares of Preferred Stock being converted by any holder thereof shall be aggregated for the purpose of determining the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled, and no fractional share of Common Stock shall be issued.  In lieu of any fractional share to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of the Common Stock on the Mandatory Conversion Date, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.

 

4.7.4.                  Mechanics of Optional Conversions.  Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, the holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor (or Lost Certificate Affidavit) at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that the holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the holder’s name or the name or names of the holder’s nominees in which the holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued.  On the date of conversion, all rights with respect to the Preferred Stock so converted shall terminate, except any of the rights of the holder thereof, upon surrender of the holder’s certificate or certificates therefor (or Lost Certificate Affidavit), to receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Preferred Stock has been converted.  If so required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.  Upon the optional conversion of the Preferred Stock, all shares of Preferred Stock being converted by any holder thereof shall be aggregated for the purpose of determining the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled, and no fractional share of Common Stock shall be issued.  In lieu of any fractional share to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of conversion, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.  The Corporation shall, promptly after surrender of the certificate or certificates for conversion, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, or to the holder’s nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled as aforesaid, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share.  Unless otherwise specified by the holder in the written notice of conversion, such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons

 

23



 

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

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

 

(C)       in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 4.7.5(j)(i), as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

 

(ii)                                  Options and Convertible Securities.  The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 4.7.5(h)(i), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (y) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

(k)               Adjustment for Dividends, Distributions, Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidations of Common Stock and Preferred Stock.

 

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

 

(ii)                                  In the event the Corporation at any time, or from time to time after the Series D Financing Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the

 

30



 

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

 

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

 

(B)                               the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Applicable Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Applicable Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and provided further, however, that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Preferred Stock simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

 

4.7.6.                  Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange, or Substitution.  In the event that at any time or from time to time the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or series of stock or other securities or property, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for above, or a merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for below), then and in each such event the holder of any shares of Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such shares into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization or other change by the holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

 

4.7.7.                  Adjustment for Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets.  In the event that at any time or from time to time there is (a) an acquisition or exclusive license of all or substantially all of the assets or intellectual property of the Corporation (or grant, sale or transfer of a license to all or a substantial part of the Corporation’s intellectual property, or any combination of licenses having the same effect), or (b) an acquisition of the Corporation by another corporation or entity by consolidation, merger, share exchange or other reorganization or combination in which the holders of the Corporation’s outstanding voting stock immediately prior to such transaction own, immediately after such transaction, securities representing less

 

31



 

than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Corporation or other entity surviving such transaction, or (c) an acquisition of the stock of the Corporation by a single person or entity or group of affiliated persons or entities (other than an acquisition of stock from the Corporation in a bona fide equity financing the purpose of which is solely to raise capital for general corporate purposes) which results in such person or entity or group holding securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Corporation, and such transaction is not treated as a Liquidity Event under Section 4.4.3, each share of the Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation deliverable upon conversion of such Preferred Stock would have been entitled to receive upon such consolidation, merger or sale, at the time of such consolidation, merger or sale; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Investor Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 4.7 with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4.7 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Applicable Conversion Prices) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock.

 

4.7.8.                  Certificate as to Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of any Applicable Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4.7, as applicable, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) all Applicable Conversion Prices at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of each share of Preferred Stock held by such holder.

 

4.7.9.                  Notices of Record Date.  In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any class or series of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Preferred Stock at least ten (10) days prior to such record date a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.

 

4.7.10.           Common Stock Reserved.  The Corporation shall reserve and keep available, free from pre-emptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect conversion of all of the Preferred Stock.  If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall promptly take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

 

32



 

4.7.11.           Certain Taxes.  The Corporation shall pay any issue or transfer taxes payable in connection with the conversion of Preferred Stock, provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer to a name other than that of the holder of Preferred Stock.

 

4.7.12.           Closing of Books.  The Corporation shall at no time close its transfer books against the transfer of any Preferred Stock or of any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion or transfer of such Preferred Stock or Common Stock.

 

4.7.13.           Validity of Shares.  The Corporation agrees that it will from time to time take all such actions as may be required to assure that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock will, upon issuance, be legally and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

 

4.8.                            Redemption.

 

4.8.1.                  Election.  At the written election (the “Series C Election”) of the holders of a majority of the Series C Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, voting on a combined basis as a single class, made at any time after March 24, 2020, the Corporation shall call for redemption, and shall redeem out of funds lawfully available therefore all the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (other than any shares of Series D Preferred Stock that the holder(s) of which has elected not to have redeemed hereunder) at a redemption price per share (in all cases, appropriately adjusted to take account of any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reclassification or other similar event with respect to the Preferred Stock) as follows:

 

(a)               with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock, equal to the sum of (A) the Series D Minimum Liquidation Preference plus (B) any declared but unpaid dividends on such share of Series D Preferred Stock (the “Series D Redemption Price”).  For avoidance of doubt, each holder of the Series D Preferred Stock may elect to, but shall not be required to, participate in the redemption of their shares of Series D Preferred Stock as set forth in this Section 4.8;

 

(b)               with respect to the Series C-2 Preferred Stock, equal to the sum of (A) the Series C-2 Minimum Liquidation Preference plus (B) any declared but unpaid dividends on such share of Series C-2 Preferred Stock (the “Series C-2 Redemption Price”);

 

(c)                with respect to the Series C-1 Preferred Stock, equal to the sum of (A) the Series C-1 Minimum Liquidation Preference plus (B) any declared but unpaid dividends on such share of Series C-1 Preferred Stock (the “Series C-1 Redemption Price”);

 

(d)               with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock, equal to the sum of (A) the Series C Minimum Liquidation Preference plus (B) any declared but unpaid dividends on such share of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Redemption Price”);

 

33



 

(e)                with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock, equal to the Series B Liquidation Preference (the “Series B Redemption Price”); and

 

(f)                 with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, equal to the Series A Liquidation Preference (the “Series A Redemption Price,” and with the Series D Redemption Price, the Series C-2 Redemption Price, the Series C-1 Redemption Price, the Series C Redemption Price and the Series B Redemption Price, the “Redemption Price”).

 

4.8.2.                  The Preferred Stock shall be redeemed on the date that is thirty (30) days following receipt by the Corporation of the Series C Election (the “Redemption Date”).

 

4.8.3.                  Notice of Redemption.  If a Series C Election is delivered to the Corporation, then, at least thirty (30) days prior to the Redemption Date, the Corporation shall provide written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to all holders of Preferred Stock entitled to redemption under this Section 4.8.  Such Redemption Notice shall set forth (i) the date and place of redemption; (ii) the number of shares to be redeemed; and (iii) the applicable Redemption Price(s).  The Corporation shall credit against the number of shares of Preferred Stock required to be redeemed from the holder of such Preferred Stock, and shall not redeem, the number of shares of Preferred Stock called for redemption which have been converted by such holder on or before the Redemption Date.

 

4.8.4.                  Surrender of Certificates; Payment.  On or before the applicable Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, unless such holder has exercised his, her or its right to convert such shares, shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the applicable Redemption Price(s) for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof.  In the event less than all of the shares of Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares of Preferred Stock shall promptly be issued to such holder.

 

4.8.5.                  Procedures.  If, on or before the Redemption Date, the funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation and deposited with a bank or trust company, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the Preferred Stock that has been called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificates for shares that have been called for redemption shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the shares represented thereby shall no longer be deemed outstanding from and after the Redemption Date, and all rights of holders of such shares so called for redemption shall forthwith, after the Redemption Date, cease and terminate with respect to such shares, excepting only the right to receive the applicable Redemption Price(s) to which they are entitled.  Any interest accrued on funds so deposited and unclaimed by stockholders entitled thereto shall be paid to such stockholders at the time their respective shares are redeemed or to the Corporation at the time unclaimed amounts are paid to it.  In case the holders of Preferred Stock which shall have been

 

34



 

called for redemption shall not, within three (3) years after the Redemption Date, claim the amounts so deposited with respect to the redemption thereof, any such bank or trust company shall, upon demand, pay over to the Corporation such unclaimed amounts and thereupon such bank or trust company shall be relieved of all responsibility in respect thereof to such holder and such holder shall look only to the Corporation for the payment thereof.  Any funds so deposited with a bank or trust company which shall not be required for such redemption by reason of the exercise subsequent to the date of such deposit of the right of conversion of any shares or otherwise shall be returned to the Corporation forthwith.

 

4.8.6.                  Defaults.  If the Corporation for any reason defaults on its obligation to redeem any of the shares of Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 4.8 on or prior to the applicable Redemption Dates specified therein, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate, the Corporation may not incur any indebtedness (unless the proceeds of such incurrence of indebtedness are used to make all overdue redemptions) without the prior affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of (x) at least a Preferred Supermajority of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and (y) a Series D Majority, other than borrowings or reborrowings under then-outstanding lines of credit with institutional lenders and within then-existing credit limits, or under replacement line of credit facilities with institutional lenders with no greater credit limits, solely for the purposes of working capital.

 

4.8.7.                  Insufficient Funds.  If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares of Preferred Stock on the Redemption Date are less than the aggregate Series D Minimum Liquidation Preference, plus the aggregate Series C-2 Minimum Liquidation Preference, plus the aggregate Series C-1 Minimum Liquidation Preference, plus the aggregate Series C Minimum Liquidation Preference, then the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall receive an amount equal to the funds then legally available for redemption of shares of Preferred Stock multiplied by the Series D Distribution Ratio, the holders of Series C-2 Preferred Stock shall receive an amount equal to the funds then legally available for redemption of shares of Preferred Stock multiplied by the Series C-2 Distribution Ratio, the holders of Series C-1 Preferred Stock shall receive an amount equal to the funds then legally available for redemption of shares of Preferred Stock multiplied by the Series C-1 Distribution Ratio, and the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall receive an amount equal to the funds then legally available for redemption of shares of Preferred Stock multiplied by the Series C Distribution Ratio.    At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of such shares of Preferred Stock, such funds will be used to redeem the remaining balance of any shares of Preferred Stock that were required to be redeemed at the Redemption Date.

 

4.8.8.                  Notice.  Within sixty (60) days of the date on which all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock have been redeemed and payment in full of the applicable Redemption Price(s) has been made to the holders thereof (the “Redemption Completion Date”), the Corporation shall send written notice of the date of the occurrence thereof to all holders of then outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

4.9.                            Preemptive Rights.  Other than as set forth in the Shareholders’ Agreement, the holders of Preferred Stock shall have no preemptive rights.

 

35



 

4.10.                     No Reissuance of Preferred Stock.  No shares of Preferred Stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of redemption, purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be canceled, retired and eliminated from the shares which the Corporation shall be authorized to issue.

 

4.11.                     Residual Rights.  All rights accruing to the outstanding shares of the Corporation not expressly provided for to the contrary herein shall be vested in the Common Stock.
