The initial conversion price per Share (the “Conversion Price”) shall be the Liquidation Value of such Share, subject to adjustment as applicable in accordance with Section 7.5 below.

7.2 Procedures for Automatic Conversion; Effect of Conversion.

 

(a) Procedures for Automatic Conversion. At the Effective Time, all outstanding Shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be converted to the number of shares of Common Stock calculated pursuant to Section 7.1 without any further action by the relevant holder of such Shares or the Corporation. As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time (but in any event within five (5) days thereafter), the Corporation shall send each holder of Shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock written notice of such event. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder shall surrender to the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing the Shares being converted, 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, accompanied by an affidavit of loss executed by the holder. Upon the surrender of such certificate(s) and accompanying materials, the Corporation shall as promptly as practicable (but in any event within ten (10) days thereafter) deliver to the relevant holder a certificate in such holder’s name (or the name of such holder’s designee as stated in the written election) for the number of shares of Common Stock (including any fractional share) to which such holder shall be entitled upon conversion of the applicable Shares. All shares of Common Stock issued hereunder by the Corporation shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, charges, and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof.

 

(b) Effect of Conversion. All Shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock converted as provided in this Section 7.2 shall no longer be deemed outstanding as of the effective time of the applicable conversion and all rights with respect to such Shares shall immediately cease and terminate as of such time, other than the right of the holder to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor.

 

7.3 Reservation of Stock. Upon the approval of the Share Authorization Proposal, the Corporation shall at all times thereafter when any Shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock are outstanding reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of capital stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7, taking into account any adjustment to such number of shares so issuable in accordance with Section 7.5 hereof. The Corporation shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Corporation upon each such issuance). The Corporation shall not close its books against the transfer of any of its capital stock in any manner which would prevent the timely conversion of the Shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock.

 

7.4 No Charge or Payment. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be made without payment of additional consideration by, or other charge, cost, or tax to, the holder in respect thereof.

 

7.5 Adjustment to Conversion Price and Number of Conversion Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights granted under this Section 7, the Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares issuable on conversion of the Shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 7.5.

 

(a) Adjustment to Conversion Price and Conversion Shares upon Dividend, Subdivision, or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Corporation payable in shares of Common Stock or in Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization, or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution, or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be proportionately increased. If the Corporation at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split, or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 7.5(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision, or combination becomes effective.

 

6

 

 

(b) Adjustment to Conversion Price and Conversion Shares upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Corporation, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the Corporation (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets to another Person or (v) other similar transaction (other than any such transaction covered by Section 7.5(a)), in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each Share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Conversion Shares then convertible for such Share, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the Corporation or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which such Share would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction if the Share had been converted in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Conversion Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such conversion (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of such Share, if any); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance satisfactory to the holder of such Share) shall be made with respect to such holder’s rights under this Certificate of Designation to insure that the provisions of this Section 7 hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock in relation to any shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter acquirable upon conversion of Series A-2 Preferred Stock (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction in which the successor or purchasing Person is other than the Corporation, an immediate adjustment in the Conversion Price to the value per share for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, and a corresponding immediate adjustment to the number of Conversion Shares acquirable upon conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock without regard to any limitations or restrictions on conversion, if the value so reflected is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction). The provisions of this Section 7.5(b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, or similar transactions. The Corporation shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Corporation) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Certificate of Designation (in form and substance satisfactory to the holder of such Share), the obligation to deliver to the holders of Series A-2 Preferred Stock such shares of stock, securities, or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders shall be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7.5(b), each holder of Shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to give effect to the provisions of Section 7 and Section 8.1, as if the Share Authorization Proposal was not approved by the stockholders of the Corporation by the Share Authorization Proposal Deadline, instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 7.5(b) with respect to such holder’s Series A-2 Preferred Stock.

 

(c) Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7.5 but not expressly provided for by such provisions occurs, then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of Shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock so as to protect the rights of the holder of such Shares in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 7; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall increase the Conversion Price or decrease the number of Conversion Shares issuable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 7, other than such adjustments made pursuant to Section 7.5(a).

(d) Certificate as to Adjustment.

 

(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Conversion Price, but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter, the Corporation shall furnish to each holder of record of Series A-2 Preferred Stock at the address specified for such holder in the books and records of the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation in writing by such holder) a certificate of an executive officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

 

(ii) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Corporation of a written request by any holder of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter, the Corporation shall furnish to such holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of Conversion Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities, or assets then issuable to such holder upon conversion of the Shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock held by such holder.

 

(e) Notices. In the event:

 

(i) that the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, to vote at a meeting (or by written consent), to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or

 

(ii) of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another Person, or sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets to another Person; or

 

(iii) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up of the Corporation;

 

then, and in each such case, the Corporation shall send or cause to be sent to each holder of record of Series A-2 Preferred Stock at the address specified for such holder in the books and records of the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation in writing by such holder) at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for the event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting or consent, or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution, or other right or action to be taken at such meeting or by written consent, or (B) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Corporation shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock and the Conversion Shares.
