4. CONVERSION RIGHTS. The holders of the Series Preferred Stock shall have the following rights with respect to the conversion of such shares of Series Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock:
(a) Optional Conversion. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4, any shares of Series Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock to which a holder of Series Preferred Stock shall be entitled upon conversion shall be the product obtained by multiplying the Series C Conversion Rate, Series B Conversion Rate, Series A Conversion Rate or Series A-1 Conversion Rate (each as defined in and determined as provided in Section 4(c)), as applicable, then in effect, by the number of shares of Series Preferred Stock being converted. Each holder of Series Preferred Stock who desires to convert such shares into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing the shares being converted, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for such shares and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that such holder elects to convert such shares. Such notice shall state the number of shares of Series Preferred Stock being converted. Thereupon, the Company shall promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled and shall promptly pay in cash or, at the option of the Board of Directors, in shares of Common Stock (at the Common Stocks fair market value determined in good faith by the Board of Directors as of the date of such conversion), any accrued or declared and unpaid dividends on the shares of Series Preferred Stock being converted. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificates representing the shares of Series Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock on such date.
9
(b) Automatic Conversion.
(i) Each share of Series Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, based on the then-effective Series C Conversion Rate, Series B Conversion Rate, Series A Conversion Rate or Series A-1 Conversion Rate, as applicable: (x) at any time upon the affirmative election of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock; or (y) immediately upon the closing of a firmly underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Market or New York Stock Exchange for the account of the Company in which (1) the per share price is at least $9.00 (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like) and (2) the aggregate offering price of the Common Stock in the offering (after deducting any underwriting or similar commissions, compensation or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection with such offering and any expenses payable by the Company in connection with such offering) is at least $40,000,000.
(ii) Upon the occurrence of an event giving rise to the conversion specified by this Section 4(b), the then-outstanding shares of Series Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically into shares of Common Stock without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Series Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Company or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. Upon the occurrence of such automatic conversion of any Series Preferred Stock, the holders of such shares shall surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for such shares. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holders promptly at such office and in the holders names as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series Preferred Stock were convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred, and any accrued or declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(a).
(c) Conversion Rates. The conversion rate in effect at any time for conversion of each share of Series C Preferred Stock (the Series C Conversion Rate) shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Series C Original Purchase Price by the Series C Conversion Price (as defined in and calculated as provided in Section 4(d)), The conversion rate in effect at any time for conversion of each share of Series B Preferred Stock (the Series B Conversion Rate) shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Series B Original Purchase Price by the Series B Conversion Price (as defined in and calculated as provided in Section 4(d)). The conversion rate in effect at any time for conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock (the Series A Conversion Rate) shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Series A Original Purchase Price by the Series A Conversion Price (as defined in and calculated as provided in Section 4(d)). The conversion rate in effect at any time for conversion of each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the Series A-1 Conversion Rate) shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Series A-1 Original Purchase Price by the Series A-1 Conversion Price (as defined in and calculated as provided in Section 4(d)).
10
(d) Conversion Prices. The conversion price for the Series C Preferred Stock shall initially be $4.00 (the Series C Conversion Price), the conversion price for the Series B Preferred Stock shall initially be $3.00 (the Series B Conversion Price), the conversion price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall initially be $1.00 (the Series A Conversion Price), and the conversion price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall initially be $2.00 (the Series A-1 Conversion Price). Such initial Series C Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series A Conversion Price or Series A-1 Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Section 4. All references to the Series C Conversion Price. Series B Conversion Price, Series A Conversion Price or Series A-1 Conversion Price herein shall mean the Series C Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series A Conversion Price or Series A-1 Conversion Price as so adjusted.
(e) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date that the first share of Series C Preferred Stock is issued (the Original Issue Date) effect a subdivision of the then-outstanding Common Stock without a corresponding subdivision of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock and/or the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, then the Series C Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price, the Series A Conversion Price and/or the Series A-1 Conversion Price, as applicable, in effect immediately before such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. Conversely, if the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares without a corresponding combination of Series C Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock, then the Series C Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series A Conversion Price and/or Series A-1 Conversion Price, as applicable, in effect immediately before such combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 4(e) shall become effective at the close of business on the date such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(f) Adjustment for Common Stock Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, in each such event the Series C Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series A Conversion Price and Series A-1 Conversion Price then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying such Series C Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series A Conversion Price and Series A-1 Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which is 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 (ii) the denominator of which is the sum of 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 is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, such Series C Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series A
11
Conversion Price and Series A-1 Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter such conversion price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 4(f) to reflect the actual payment of such dividend or distribution.
(g) Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than an Acquisition or Asset Transfer, or a subdivision or combination of shares, stock dividend or reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this Section 4), then in each such event each holder of Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and/or Series A-1 Preferred Stock, as applicable, into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.
(h) Reorganizations, Mergers or Consolidations. If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or another entity or person (other than an Acquisition or Asset Transfer, a subdivision or combination of shares, a stock dividend or a reclassification, exchange or substitution provided for elsewhere in this Section 4), then as a part of such capital reorganization, merger or consolidation provision shall be made so that the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon the conversion of such Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Series A-1 Preferred Stock, as applicable, that number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company to which a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Series A-1 Preferred Stock, as applicable, would have been entitled as a result of such capital reorganization, merger or consolidation. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock after the capital reorganization, merger or consolidation such that the provisions of this Section 4 (including adjustment of the Series C Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series A Conversion Price and Series A-1 Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable.
12
(i) Sale of Shares Below Series C Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series A Conversion Price.
(i) If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the Company issues or sells, or is deemed by the express provisions of this Section 4(i) to have issued or sold, Additional Shares of Common Stock (as defined below), other than as a dividend or other distribution on any class of stock as provided in Section 4(f) above, and other than a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 4(e) above, for an Effective Price (as defined below) less than the then-effective Series C Conversion Price, the then-effective Series B Conversion Price or the then-effective Series A Conversion Price, then and in each such case, unless otherwise determined by the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, such then-existing Series C Conversion Price, then-existing Series B Conversion Price or then-existing Series A Conversion Price shall be reduced, as of the opening of business on the date of such issue or sale, to a price determined by multiplying such Series C Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series A Conversion Price by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received (as determined in accordance with Section 4(i)(ii) below) by the Company for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Series C Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series A Conversion Price; and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding, plus the number of shares of Common Stock into which the then-outstanding shares of Series Preferred Stock could be converted if fully converted on the day immediately preceding the given date, plus the number of shares of Common Stock which could be obtained through the exercise or conversion of all other rights, options and convertible securities outstanding on the day immediately preceding the given date.
(ii) For the purpose of making any adjustment required under this Section 4(i), the consideration received by the Company for any issue or sale of securities shall: (i) to the extent it consists of cash, be computed at the net amount of cash received by the Company after deduction of any underwriting or similar commissions, compensation or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection with such issue or sale but without deduction of any expenses payable by the Company; and (ii) to the extent it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value of that property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. In the event that Additional Shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities (as defined below) or rights or options to purchase either Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other assets of the Company for a consideration which covers both, the consideration received by the Company for any issue or sale of securities shall be computed as the portion of the consideration so received that may be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors to be allocable to such Additional Shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or rights or options.
(iii) For the purpose of the adjustment required under this Section 4(i), if the Company issues or sells: (i) stock or other securities convertible into,
13
Additional Shares of Common Stock (such convertible stock or securities being herein referred to as Convertible Securities); or (ii) rights or options for the purchase of Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities, and if the Effective Price of such Additional Shares of Common Stock is less than the Series C Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price or the Series A Conversion Price, in each case the Company shall be deemed to have issued at the time of the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof and to have received as consideration for the issuance of such shares an amount equal to the total amount of the consideration, if any, received by the Company for the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities, plus, in the case of such rights or options, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of such rights or options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Company (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) upon the conversion thereof; provided, however, that if in the case of Convertible Securities the minimum amounts of such consideration cannot be ascertained but are a function of antidilution or similar protective clauses, the Company shall be deemed to have received the minimum amounts of consideration without reference to such clauses; and provided further that: (i) if the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise or conversion of rights, options or Convertible Securities is reduced over time or based on the occurrence or non-occurrence of specified events other than by reason of antidilution adjustments, the Effective Price shall be recalculated using the figure to which such minimum amount of consideration is reduced; and (ii) if the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise or conversion of such rights, options or Convertible Securities is subsequently increased, the Effective Price shall be again recalculated using the increased minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise or conversion of such rights, options or Convertible Securities. No further adjustment of the Series C Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price or the Series A Conversion Price, as adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities, shall be made as a result of the actual issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock on the exercise of any such rights or options or the conversion of any such Convertible Securities. If any such rights or options or the conversion privilege represented by any such Convertible Securities shall expire without having been exercised, the Series C Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price or the Series A Conversion Price as adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities shall be readjusted to the Series C Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price or the Series A Conversion Price which would have been in effect had an adjustment been made on the basis that the only Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued were the Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold on the exercise of such rights or options or rights of conversion of such Convertible Securities, and such Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Company for the granting of all such rights or options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration received for issuing or selling the Convertible Securities actually converted, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Company (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) on the conversion of such Convertible Securities; provided, however, that such readjustment shall not apply to prior conversions of Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock.
(iv) As used herein, Additional Shares of Common Stock shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued by the Company or deemed to be issued pursuant to this Section 4(i), other than: (i) any shares of Common Stock issued upon any conversion of shares of Series Preferred Stock; (ii) any shares of Common Stock issued as a dividend or distribution on shares of Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock; (iii) any shares of Common Stock and/or options or other Common Stock purchase rights, and the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to such options or other rights after the Original Issue Date to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, the Company pursuant to stock purchase or stock option plans or other arrangements that are approved by the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Series A Directors; (iv) any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any rights or agreements, options, warrants or convertible securities outstanding as of the Original Issue Date; or (v) any shares of Common Stock and/or options, warrants or convertible securities, and the Common Stock issued pursuant to such options, warrants or convertible securities, that are issued for consideration other than cash pursuant to a merger, consolidation, acquisition or similar business combination approved by the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Series A Directors. The Effective Price of Additional Shares of Common Stock shall mean the quotient determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received, or deemed to have been received by the Company for such issue under this Section 4(i), for such Additional Shares of Common Stock by the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or sold, or deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company under this Section 4(i).
14
(j) Certificate of Adjustment. In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Series C Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series A Conversion Price and/or the Series A-1 Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Company, at its expense, shall compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment and shall mail such certificate, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder of Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and/or Series A-1 Preferred Stock, as applicable, at the holders address as shown in the Companys books. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
(k) Notices of Record Date. Upon: (i) any taking by the Company 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 or other distribution; or (ii) any Acquisition or other capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation, any Asset Transfer, or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail to each holder of Series Preferred Stock at least ten (10) business days prior to the record date specified therein a notice specifying: (A) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution; (B) the date on which any such Acquisition, reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, Asset Transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective; and (C) the date, if any, that is to be fixed as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such Acquisition, reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, Asset Transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
15
(l) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any shares of Series Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series Preferred Stock by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay cash in an amount equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, on the date of conversion.
(m) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then-outstanding shares of Series 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 then-outstanding shares of Series Preferred Stock, the Company will take such corporate action as is, in the opinion of its counsel, necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
(n) Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 4 shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified; (ii) when sent by electronic mail or confirmed facsimile, if sent during normal business hours of the recipient or, if not, then on the next business day; (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (iv) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with verification of receipt. All notices shall be addressed to each holder of record at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company.
(o) Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all taxes (other than taxes based upon income) and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series Preferred Stock, excluding any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series Preferred Stock so converted were registered.
(p) Status of Converted Shares. No shares of Series Preferred Stock that have been converted into Common Stock after the original issuance thereof in accordance with this Section 4 shall ever be reissued, and all such shares so converted shall upon such conversion be appropriately canceled on the books of the Company and shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued Preferred Stock of the Company, undesignated as to series.
16

B. The Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Company. The stockholders shall also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Company; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Company required by law or by this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to adopt, amend or repeal any provision of the bylaws of the Company.
