7.4          To the extent that such Shares are certificated, on or before the Series C Redemption Date, each Holder of Shares shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such Shares to the Corporation, in the manner and place designated by the Corporation, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto), or, in the event the certificate or certificates are lost, stolen or missing, shall deliver an affidavit of loss, in the manner and place designated by the Corporation. To the extent that such Shares are certificated, each surrendered certificate shall be canceled and retired and the Corporation

shall thereafter make payment of the applicable Series C Redemption Price by certified check or wire transfer to the holder of record of such certificate.

 

7.5          If on the applicable Series C Redemption Date, the Series C Redemption Price is paid (or tendered for payment), then on such date all rights of the Holder in the Shares so redeemed and paid or tendered, including any rights to dividends on such Shares, shall cease, and such Shares shall no longer be deemed issued and outstanding.

 

Section 8.              Conversion.  Each Holder of Shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows:

 

8.1          Mandatory Conversion Upon Closing of Qualified Financing.  Unless earlier redeemed or converted pursuant to the terms hereof, the Shares and all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, shall be automatically converted into Conversion Shares upon the closing of a Qualified Financing.  The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon such conversion shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product of (A) the number of Shares held by such Holder and (B) the Series C Original Issuance Price (as adjusted pursuant hereto for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and the like) plus the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends on the Shares, by (ii) the Conversion Price on the date of the closing of a Qualified Financing.  The issuance of Conversion Shares pursuant to the conversion of the Shares shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the securities sold in the Qualified Financing.

 

8.2          Voluntary Conversion Upon Closing of Non-Qualified Financing.  Unless earlier redeemed or converted pursuant to the terms hereof, the Shares and all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, or any portion thereof, at the election of the Holder, upon delivery of written notice to the Corporation within five (5) days prior to the closing of a Non-Qualified Financing, may be converted into Conversion Shares upon the closing of such Non-Qualified Financing.  The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon such conversion shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product of (A) the number of Shares held by such Holder which such Holder has designated for conversion and (B) the Series C Original Issuance Price (as adjusted pursuant hereto for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and the like) plus the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends on such Shares, by (ii) the applicable Conversion Price applicable to such Shares in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion.  At least ten (10) days prior to the closing of the Non-Qualified Financing, the Corporation shall deliver notice to the Holder of each Share at the address last shown on the records of the Corporation for such Holder or given by such Holder to the Corporation for the purpose of notice (or, if no such address appears or is given, at the place where the principal executive office or residence of such Holder is located), notifying such Holder of the terms of the Non-Qualified Financing and offering the Holder an opportunity to convert in accordance with the terms hereof.  The issuance of Conversion Shares pursuant to the conversion of the Shares shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the securities sold in the Non-Qualified Financing.

 

13


 

8.3          Mandatory Conversion Upon Qualified Public Company Event.  Unless earlier redeemed or converted pursuant to the terms hereof, the Shares and all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon shall be automatically converted into Conversion Shares upon the closing of such Qualified Public Company Event.  The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon such conversion shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product of (A) the number of Shares held by such Holder and (B) the Series C Original Issuance Price (as adjusted pursuant hereto for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and the like) plus the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends on the Shares, by (ii) the Conversion Price applicable to such Shares on the date of the closing of such Qualified Public Company Event.

 

8.4          Voluntary Conversion Upon Closing of Non-Qualified Public Company Event.  Unless earlier redeemed converted pursuant to the terms hereof, the Shares and all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, at the election of the Holder, upon delivery of written notice to the Corporation within five (5) days prior to the closing of a Non-Qualified Public Company Event, may be converted in whole or in part into Conversion Shares upon the closing of such Non-Qualified Public Company Event.  The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon such conversion shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product of (A) the number of Shares held by such Holder which such Holder has designated for conversion and (B) the Series C Original Issuance Price (as adjusted pursuant hereto for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and the like) plus the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends on such Shares, by (ii) the Conversion Price applicable to such Shares in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion.  At least ten (10) days prior to the closing of the Non-Qualified Public Company Event, the Corporation shall deliver notice to the Holder of each Share at the address last shown on the records of the Corporation for such Holder or given by such Holder to the Corporation for the purpose of notice (or, if no such address appears or is given, at the place where the principal executive office or residence of such Holder is located), notifying such Holder of the terms of the Non-Qualified Public Company Event and offering the Holder an opportunity to convert in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

8.5          Voluntary Conversion at Maturity.  Unless earlier redeemed or converted pursuant to the terms hereof, if a Qualified Financing or Qualified Public Company Event has not occurred prior to the first anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, at the election of the Holder, upon delivery of written notice to the Corporation, the Shares and all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, may be converted in whole or in part into Conversion Shares.  The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon such conversion shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product of (A) the number of Shares held by such Holder which such Holder has designated for conversion and (B) the Series C Original Issuance Price (as adjusted pursuant hereto for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and the like) plus the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends on such Shares, by (ii) the Conversion Price applicable to such Shares in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion.

 

14


 

8.6          Voluntary Conversion Upon Change in Control.  Unless earlier redeemed or converted pursuant to the terms hereof, the Shares and all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, at the election of the Holder, upon delivery of written notice to the Corporation within five (5) days prior to the closing of a Change in Control may be paid in cash or converted into Conversion Shares immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control.  The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon such conversion shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product of (A) the number of Shares held by such Holder which such Holder has designated for conversion and (B) the Series C Original Issuance Price (as adjusted pursuant hereto for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and the like) plus the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends on such Shares, by (ii) the Conversion Price applicable to such Shares in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion.

 

8.7          Mechanics of Conversion.  Before any Holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert such Series C Preferred Stock into Conversation Shares, the Holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed (or a reasonably acceptable affidavit and indemnity undertaking in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate), at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for such Series C Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for Conversion Shares are to be issued.  The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such Holder of Series C Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such Holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of Conversion Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled as aforesaid, and a certificate for the remaining number of Shares if less than all of such Series C Preferred Stock evidenced by the certificates were surrendered.  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 to be converted, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record Holder or Holders of such Conversion Shares as of such date.  If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten public offering of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act the conversion may, at the option of any Holder tendering such Series C Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event any Persons entitled to receive Conversion Shares upon conversion of such Series C Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Series C Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.

 

8.8          Conversion Price Adjustments of Series C Preferred Stock for Splits and Combinations.  If the Corporation at any time after the date of issue of the Series C Preferred Stock (a) declares a dividend or makes a distribution on Conversion Shares payable in Conversion Shares, (b) subdivides or splits the outstanding Conversion Shares, (c) combines or reclassifies the outstanding Conversion Shares into a smaller number of shares, (d) issues any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of Conversion Shares (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is the continuing corporation), or (e) consolidates with, merges

 

15


 

with or into or is converted into any other Person, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, split, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock after such time shall entitle the Holder to receive the aggregate number of Conversion Shares or other securities of the Corporation (or shares of any security into which such Conversion Shares have been combined, consolidated, merged, converted or reclassified pursuant to this Sections 8 which, if the Series C Preferred Stock had been converted immediately prior to such time, such Holder would have owned upon such conversion and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, split, combination, consolidation, merger, conversion or reclassification.  Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

 

8.9          Other Distributions.  In the event the Corporation shall declare a distribution in respect of the Conversion Shares (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for in Section 8.8) payable in securities of other Persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other Persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in Section 8.8, then, in each such case for the purpose of this Section 8.9, the Holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the Holders of the number of Conversion Shares of the Corporation into which their shares of Series C Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the Holders of Conversion Shares of the Corporation entitled to receive such distribution.

 

8.10        Recapitalizations.  If at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Conversion Shares (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for in Section 8.8) provision shall be made so that the Holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of such Series C Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise, to which a Holder of Conversion Shares deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization.  In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 8 with respect to the rights of the Holders of such Series C Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 8 (including adjustment of the Conversion Ratio then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of such Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable.

 

8.11        No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments.

 

(a)           No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any Share, and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.  The number of shares issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock the Holder is at the time converting into Conversion Shares and the number of Conversion Shares issuable

 

16


 

upon such aggregate conversion.  If the conversion would result in any fractional share, the Corporation shall, in lieu of issuing any such fractional share, pay the Holder thereof an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of such fractional share on the date of conversion, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

 

(b)           Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of any Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8, the Corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each Holder of Series C 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 Series C Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Conversion Price for the Series C Preferred Stock at the time in effect and (C) the number of Conversion Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of Series C Preferred Stock.

 

8.12        Notices of Record Date.  In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Corporation shall mail to each Holder of Series C Preferred Stock, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

 

8.13        Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.  The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Conversion Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, such number of Conversion Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Conversion Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Holder of Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Conversion Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation.

 

Section 9.              Reissuance of Series C Preferred Stock. Any Shares redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or Shares not issued prior to the Series C Redemption Date shall become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and

 

17


 

may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.

 

Section 10.            Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) when sent by email provided recipient confirms receipt; or (d) on the third day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Such communications must be sent (a) to the Corporation, at its principal executive offices and (b) to any stockholder, at such Holder’s address at it appears in the stock records of the Corporation (or at such other address for a stockholder as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 10).
