Section 4.  Liquidation Preference: In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (a “Liquidation Event”), the Series A Preferred will be entitled, in preference to the Common Stock, to an amount equal to the Purchase Price per share plus all declared but unpaid dividends. To the extent that the assets of the Company are insufficient to pay the Holders of the Series A Preferred in full, the proceeds of any Liquidation Event shall be distributed ratably among the Holders of the Series A Preferred on a pro rata basis.

 

A merger, sale of substantially all assets, reorganization or other transaction to which the Company is a party in which control of the Company is transferred will be treated as a “Liquidation Event,” provided that in connection therewith, the Series A Preferred will be entitled to the greater of the amount of liquidation proceeds described in the preceding paragraph or the proceeds that would be payable with respect to the shares of Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred is then convertible.

 

No transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which cash is received by the Company or any successor or indebtedness of the Company is cancelled or converted or any combination thereof shall be considered a Liquidation Event.

 

Section 5. Conversion. The Series A Preferred may be convertible at a Holder’s election any time beginning six months from the date of closing of a definitive agreement regarding the offering of Series A Preferred (the “Offering”) into shares of Common Stock of the Company at an initial conversion price equal to the Purchase Price so that, initially, each share of Series A Preferred shall be convertible into one (1) share of Common Stock. The Purchase Price will be subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 7 and 8 below.  

 

Section 6.  Mandatory Conversion. The Series A Preferred will be automatically converted into Common Stock (a “Mandatory Conversion”), at the then applicable conversion price, in the event of an equity offering of shares of Common Stock resulting in the Company uplisting to any of the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the NYSE Euronext, or the New York Stock Exchange (each a “National Securities Exchange”, (provided that if the per share offering price in such offering is less than the then applicable conversion price for the Series A Preferred, the Series A Preferred will automatically convert based on the offering price in such offering).

 

Section 7.  Anti-dilution Provisions. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, or stock combination, the number of shares deliverable and the Purchase Price of the Series A Preferred will be appropriately adjusted.

 

Section 8. Additional Anti-dilution Provisions. In the event a Mandatory Conversion is triggered, if the offering price on the date such Mandatory Conversion is triggered is less than a 25% premium to the Purchase Price, the Company will issue additional shares of Common Stock for each outstanding share of Series A Preferred to ensure the effective conversion price equals a 25% discount to the Purchase Price.

 

Section 9. Voting Rights. Consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Series A Preferred will be required for (i) the creation of, or increase in the authorized amount of, any new class or series of stock or any other securities convertible into equity securities of the Company ranking on a parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred, (ii) any redemption, repurchase, payment or declaration of dividends or other distributions with respect to Common Stock or the Series A Preferred (subject to the exceptions in the second sentence under “Dividend Provisions” above); or (iii) any Liquidation Event (or transaction that is treated as a Liquidation Event as described in Section 4 above) pursuant to which the Holders of the Series A Preferred are not entitled to receive cash or securities traded on a national securities exchange in the United States in an amount not less than the applicable original issue price plus declared and unpaid dividends. Consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Series A Preferred will also be required for (x) any increase or decrease in the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred or (y) any change to the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Preferred so as to affect them adversely.
