6.    Conversion.

 

6.1. Holder’s Right to Convert. Upon receipt of Shareholder Approval, the holders of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

  

6.1.1.  Right to Convert.

 

6.1.1.1.  Conversion Ratio. Each share of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Stated Value (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends) by the Series F Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion (the result of such fraction, the “Series F Conversion Rate”). The “Series F Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $2.00. Such initial Series F Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below. On the Initial Issuance Date, the Series F Conversion Rate shall be equal to 50 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

6.1.1.2.  Termination of Conversion Rights. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

6.1.2.  Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock the Holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

 

 

 

 

6.2. Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall be conducted in the following manner:

 

6.2.1.  Conversion Notice. The Holder of record of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock being converted shall (A) transmit by email (or otherwise deliver) a copy of a properly completed notice of conversion executed by the registered Holder of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Corporation and if the Corporation has appointed a registered transfer agent, the Corporation’s registered transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) (if the Corporation does not have a registered transfer agent, references hereto to the “Transfer Agent” shall be deemed to be references to the Corporation) and (B) if required by Section 6.2.3, surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Corporation as soon as practicable following such date the original certificates, if any, representing the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock being converted (or compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 10) (the “Preferred Stock Certificates”).

 

6.2.2.  Corporation’s Response. Upon receipt by the Corporation of a copy of a Conversion Notice, the Corporation shall (A) as soon as practicable, but in any event within three (3) Trading Days, send, via email, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Transfer Agent, if applicable, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein and (B) on or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of receipt by the Corporation of such Conversion Notice, (1) provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. If the number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock represented by the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) submitted for conversion is greater than the number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock being converted, then the Corporation shall or shall direct the Transfer Agent, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock not converted or it shall direct the Transfer Agent to update the Holder’s account to reflect the number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock not converted.

  

6.2.3.  Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder thereof shall not be required to physically surrender the Preferred Stock Certificate, if any, unless (A) the full or remaining number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock represented by the Preferred Stock Certificate are being converted, in which case the Holder shall deliver such Preferred Stock Certificate to the Corporation promptly following such conversion, or (B) a Holder has provided the Corporation with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock upon physical surrender of any Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. The Holder and the Corporation shall maintain records showing the number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Corporation, so as not to require physical surrender of the certificate representing the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Corporation establishing the number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Series F Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are converted as aforesaid, a Holder may not transfer the certificate representing the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock unless such Holder first physically surrenders the certificate representing the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock to the Corporation, whereupon the Corporation will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new certificate of like tenor, registered as such Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such certificate. A Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such certificate may be less than the number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock stated on the face thereof.

 

 

 

 

6.2.4.  Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall, so long as any shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock according to the terms hereof, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding; and 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 the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in all reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Charter. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Series F Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Series F Convertible Conversion Price.

 

6.2.5.  Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the Series F Conversion Rate, the Corporation shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via email within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such Holder’s Conversion Notice or other date of determination. If such Holder and the Corporation are unable to agree upon the determination of the arithmetic calculation of the Series F Conversion Rate within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Holder, then the Corporation shall within one (1) Business Day submit via email the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Series F Conversion Rate to any “big four” international accounting firm that is reasonably acceptable to the Corporation and the Holder. The Corporation shall cause, at the Corporation’s expense (unless the accounting firm determines in favor of the Corporation, in which case the Holder shall be responsible for such expense), the accountant to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Corporation and the Holders of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent error.

 

6.2.6.  Record Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the date of conversion.

 

6.2.7.  Effect of Conversion. All shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote in the capacity of a Holder, shall forthwith cease and terminate except only the right of the holder thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor, to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversation as provided in Section 6.1.2, and payment of any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not declared). Any shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and canceled and shall not be reissued, and the Corporation may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized Series F Convertible Preferred Stock accordingly.

 

6.2.8.  Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates, if any, for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock so converted and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

  

 

 

 

6.2.9.  Corporation's Failure to Timely Convert. If within two (2) Trading Days after the Corporation’s receipt of the copy of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall fail to credit a Holder's balance account with DTC or issue and deliver a certificate to such Holder for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (a "Conversion Failure"), then (X) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the Share Delivery Date and during such Conversion Failure an amount equal to 1.0% of the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and (B) the higher of (i) the then in effect Series F Conversion Price or (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice, and (Y) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock that have not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 6.2.9 or otherwise. In addition, if on or after the Share Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Corporation (a "Buy-In"), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Corporation shall, within two (2) Trading Days after the Holder's request pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point the Corporation's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate. “Closing Sale Price” means, for the shares of Common Stock as of any date, the last closing price for such security on the principal market on which such security is traded, as reported by Bloomberg L.P., or if the foregoing does not apply, the last closing price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg L.P., or, if no closing price is reported for such security by Bloomberg L.P., the average of the bid prices, or the ask prices, respectively, of any market makers for such security as reported in the “pink sheets” by OTC Markets Group Inc. (formerly Pink Sheets LLC).

 

6.2.10.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate of Designation, the shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by a Holder shall not be convertible by such Holder, and the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of any shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by such Holder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that such Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether the shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by such Holder shall be convertible (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned by such Holder and its affiliates) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Corporation for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability of a Holder to convert shares of Series F Preferred Stock, or of the Corporation to issue shares of Common Stock to such Holder, pursuant to this Section 6.2.10. shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 6.2.10. with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility or issuance (as the case may be). For purposes of this Section 6.2.10., beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this Section 6.2.10 .shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6.2.10. to correct this Section 6.2.10. (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 6.2.10. shall apply to a successor holder of shares of Series F Preferred Stock. The Corporation may not waive this Section 6.2.10. without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Corporation shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Certificate of Designation.

 

 

 

 

6.3. Corporation’s Right to Convert.

 

6.3.1.  At any time or from time to time after the Initial Issuance Date of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, if (i) the closing price of the Common Stock listed on the Principal Market equals or exceeds $2.75 (subject to appropriate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassifications, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar transactions after the Issuance Date) for not less than fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days (the “Corporation Conversion Right Measuring Period”); (ii) the daily average number of shares of Common Stock listed on the Principal Market traded during the Corporation Conversion Right Measuring Period equals or exceeds 100,000 (subject to appropriate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassifications, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar transactions after the Issuance Date); and (iii) no Equity Conditions Failure (as defined below) has occurred (unless such Equity Conditions Failure has been waived) as of such date (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the “Corporation Conversion Right Event”), the Corporation will have the right, but not the obligation, to convert each outstanding share of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock calculated based on the Series F Conversion Rate as of the Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined below) (a “Mandatory Conversion”).

 

6.3.2.  The Corporation may exercise its right to require conversion under Section 6.3.1 by delivering within not more than two (2) Trading Days following the end of such Corporation Conversion Right Measuring Period a written notice thereof by facsimile or electronic mail to the Holder (the “Mandatory Conversion Notice” and the date that the Holder received such notice is referred to as the “Mandatory Conversion Notice Date”), which conversion date shall be thirty (30) days following delivery of the Mandatory Conversion Notice (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”). The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Conversion Notices tendered from the time of delivery of the Mandatory Conversion Notice until the Corporation Conversation Date has occurred. Unless otherwise indicated by the Holder, all shares of Series F Preferred Stock converted by the Holder after the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date shall reduce the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock required to be converted on the Mandatory Conversion Date.

  

6.3.3.  On the Mandatory Conversion Date, the outstanding shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares, if any, are surrendered to the Corporation or its Transfer Agent, and certificates previously representing shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall represent only the shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock previously represented thereby have been converted pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of any shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock unless certificates evidencing such shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, if any, are either delivered to the Corporation or the holder notifies the Corporation that such certificates, if any, have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and executes an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. Upon the occurrence of the conversion of the Series F Convertible Preferred pursuant to this Section 6.3, the Holders of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred shall surrender the certificates representing such shares to the Corporation and the Corporation shall cause its Transfer Agent to deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (in the same manner set forth in Section 6.2.2) to the Holder within two (2) Business Days of the Holder’s delivery of the applicable Series F Convertible Preferred certificates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the conversion of a holder’s shares of Series F Preferred Stock would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive any such Excess Shares (or the beneficial ownership of, including voting rights with respect to, any such Excess Shares) and any Excess Shares shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.3.3, upon conversion of any shares of Series F Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof, no holder thereof shall be required to physically surrender the certificate representing the shares of Series F Preferred Stock to the Company following conversion thereof unless (A) the full or remaining number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock represented by the certificate are being converted or (B) such Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of shares of Series F Preferred Stock upon physical surrender of any shares of Series F Preferred Stock.

  

7.    Adjustment of Series F Conversion Price.

 

7.1.1.  Adjustment of Series F Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. The Series F Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this Section 7. If the Corporation at any time after the Initial Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Series F Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Corporation at any time after the Initial Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Series F Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

 

 

 

 

7.1.2.  Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 7, if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 7 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 7 (and the provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Series F Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock.

 

7.1.3.  Certain Anti-Dilution Adjustments. If the Corporation shall, at any time while any of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock are outstanding, issue any shares of its Common Stock, other than Exempt Issuances, without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Series F Conversion Price, then with respect to any such issuance, the Series F Conversion Price as in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith be lowered to a price equal to the issuance, conversion, exchange or exercise price, as applicable, of any such securities so issued. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 7.1.3. shall not apply until receipt of the Shareholder Approval.

 

7.2.  Notices.

 

7.2.1. Immediately upon any adjustment of the Series F Conversion Rate and Series F Conversion Price pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Corporation will give written notice thereof sent by mail, first class, postage prepaid to each Holder at its address appearing on the stock register, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of such adjustment, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.2.5.

 

7.2.2.  Except as otherwise required by law, the Corporation will give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Corporation closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, or (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock.

 

7.2.3.  The Corporation will also give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which a Deemed Liquidation Event will take place.

 

8.    Optional Repurchase. Commencing upon the date Shareholder Approval is obtained, the Corporation will have the option of repurchasing the shares of Series F Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, by paying to the Holder a sum of money in cash equal to (a) the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock then held by such Holder multiplied by the aggregate Stated Value of such shares of Series F Preferred Stock plus (b) any other amounts due to the Holder pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designation (the “Repurchase Amount”). The Corporation’s election to exercise its right to repurchase shares of Series F Preferred Stock must be by notice in writing (“Repurchase Notice”). The Repurchase Notice shall specify the date for such optional repurchase (the “Repurchase Payment Date”), which date shall be thirty (30) days after Holder receives the Repurchase Notice. On the Repurchase Payment Date, the Repurchase Amount, less any cash portion of the Redemption Amount against which the Holder has permissibly exercised its conversion rights, shall be paid to the Holder in immediately available funds.

 

 

 

 

9.    Status of Converted Stock. In the event any shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the shares so converted shall be canceled and shall not be issuable by the Corporation.

 

10.  Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Series F Convertible Preferred Stock Certificates representing the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, if any, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnification undertaking (with surety, if reasonably requested by the Corporation) by the holder thereof to the Corporation in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate(s), the Corporation shall execute and deliver new preferred stock certificate(s) of like tenor and date; provided, however, the Corporation shall not be obligated to re-issue preferred stock certificates if the holder contemporaneously requests the Corporation to convert such Series F Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock.

 

11.  Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designation shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designation, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy. Nothing herein shall limit a holder of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. The Corporation covenants to each holder of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the holder of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Corporation (or the performance thereof). The Corporation acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the holders of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Corporation therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holders of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

12.  Notice. Whenever notice or other communication is required to be given hereunder, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with contact information provided by each Holder to the Corporation and set forth in the register for the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock maintained by the Corporation as set forth in Section 15.

 

13.  Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any holder of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

 

14.  Transfer of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. A Holder may assign some or all of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock and the accompanying rights hereunder held by such Holder without the consent of the Corporation; provided that such assignment is in compliance with applicable securities laws.

 

15.  Series F Convertible Preferred Stock Register. The Corporation shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Corporation as it may designate by notice to the Holders), a register for the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, in which the Corporation shall record the name, address and email address of the persons in whose name the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock have been issued, as well as the name, address and email address of each transferee. The Corporation may treat the person in whose name any Series F Convertible Preferred Stock is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly made transfers.

 

16.  Stockholder Matters. Any stockholder action, approval or consent required, desired or otherwise sought by the Corporation pursuant to the DGCL, this Certificate of Designation or otherwise with respect to the issuance of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof may be effected by written consent of the Corporation’s stockholders or at a duly called meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders, all in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the DGCL and the applicable provisions hereof. This provision is intended to comply with the applicable sections of the DGCL permitting stockholder action, approval and consent affected by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

 

 

 

 

17.  General Provisions. In addition to the above provisions with respect to Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, such Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall be subject to and be entitled to the benefit of the provisions set forth in the Charter with respect to preferred stock of the Corporation generally.

 

18.  Waiver and Amendment. Any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock set forth herein may be waived or amended on behalf of all holders of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of at least 50 % of the shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding.
