FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF

 

SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

 

The undersigned, a duly authorized officer of XG Sciences, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the “Corporation”), DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolution was duly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) pursuant to the Michigan Business Corporation Act on November 20, 2013:

 

RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of the Corporation pursuant to authority vested in it by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation and the shareholders of the Corporation, hereby amends the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock dated June 26, 2013 (the “Certificate of Designations”) as follows:

 

1.           Section 4(b) of the Certificate of Designations is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

(b)         Mandatory Conversion. The Corporation shall have the right to effect the conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock then currently outstanding into fully-paid, non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Rate for such share upon the listing by the Corporation of the class of Common Stock on a Qualified National Exchange (such an event, a “Mandatory Conversion Event”). So long as the Common Stock remains listed on a Qualified National Exchange, any shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued following a Mandatory Conversion Event will be automatically converted into Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4(b) at the then effective Conversion Rate on such date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be subject to conversion pursuant to this Section 4(b) until all outstanding Convertible Securities are also converted into Common Stock.

 

2.            The following is added as Section 6(d) of the Certificate of Designations:

 

(d)          Pay to Play Exemption. If a Pay to Play Provision is adopted on behalf of the Corporation (whether by an amendment to this Certificate of Designations pursuant to Section 6(c), another amendment to the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, the adoption or amendment of a shareholder agreement, or otherwise), then the Corporation shall ensure that the following holders of Series A Preferred Stock or securities convertible into Series A Preferred Stock are exempt from the Pay to Play Provision with respect to such Series A Preferred Stock: (i) SVIC No. 15 New Technology Business Investment L.L.P.; (ii) Aspen Advanced Opportunity Fund, LP; (iii) XGS II, LLC; and (iv) Michael R. Knox.

 

 

 

 

For purposes of this Section 6(d), “Pay to Play Provision” means a provision that provides that, if a holder of Series A Preferred Stock fails to participate in a financing transaction (a “Non-Participating Shareholder”), then: (i) the rights, preferences, or privileges of such Non-Participating Shareholder will be altered, changed, or waived, or (ii) the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Non-Participating Shareholder shall be converted into Common Stock or another form of the Company’s capital stock with lesser rights, preferences, or privileges.

 

[Signature page follows.]

 

 

 

  

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations to be duly executed as of the date first written above.
