The rights, preferences, privileges, restrictions and other matters relating to the Preferred Stock are as follows:

Section 1. Dividends.

1A. Participating Dividends. In the event that the Corporation declares or pays any dividends upon the Common Stock (whether payable in cash, securities or other property), other than dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock issued upon the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Corporation shall also declare and pay to the holders of the Preferred Stock at the same time that it declares and pays such dividends to the holders of the Common Stock, the dividends which would have been declared and paid with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock had all of the outstanding Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to the record date for such dividend, or if no record date is fixed, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividends are to be determined.

Section 2. Liquidation.

2A. General Preference and Priority.

(i) Payments to Holders of Series D Preferred. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (whether voluntary or involuntary), each holder of Series D Preferred shall be entitled to be paid, before any distribution or payment is made upon any Series C Preferred, Series C-1 Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series A Preferred or Junior Securities, an amount in cash equal to the greater of (A) the aggregate Liquidation Value of all shares of Series D Preferred held by such holder plus all declared and unpaid dividends thereon and (B) the amount which such holder would be entitled to receive upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up if all of such holder’s Series D Preferred (and all other shares of Series D Preferred) were converted into Conversion Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up plus an additional amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends on such holder’s Series D Preferred, if any, and the holders of Series D Preferred shall not be entitled to any further payment in respect thereof. If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation’s assets to be distributed among the holders of the Series D Preferred are insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the aggregate amount which they are entitled to be paid pursuant to this Section 2A(i), then the entire assets available to be distributed to the Corporation’s stockholders shall be distributed pro rata among such holders of Series D Preferred based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all declared and unpaid dividends thereon) of the Series D Preferred held by each such holder.

(ii) Payments to Holders of Series C Preferred and Series C-1 Preferred. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (whether voluntary or involuntary), after the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Series D Preferred in accordance with Section 2A(i) above, each holder of Series C Preferred and Series C-1 Preferred shall be entitled to be paid, before any distribution or payment is made upon any Series B Preferred, Series A Preferred or Junior Securities, an amount in cash equal to the greater of (x) in the case of Series C Preferred, (A) the aggregate Liquidation Value of all shares of Series C Preferred held by such holder plus all declared and unpaid dividends thereon and (B) the amount which such holder would be entitled to receive upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up if

 

2


all of such holder’s Series C Preferred (and all other shares of Series C Preferred) were converted into Conversion Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up plus an additional amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends on such holder’s Series C Preferred, if any, and the holders of Series C Preferred shall not be entitled to any further payment in respect thereof and (y) in the case of Series C-1 Preferred, (A) the aggregate Liquidation Value of all shares of Series C-1 Preferred held by such holder plus all declared and unpaid dividends thereon and (B) the amount which such holder would be entitled to receive upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up if all of such holder’s Series C-1 Preferred (and all other shares of Series C-1 Preferred) were converted into Conversion Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up plus an additional amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends on such holder’s Series C-1 Preferred, if any, and the holders of Series C-1 Preferred shall not be entitled to any further payment in respect thereof. If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation’s assets to be distributed among the holders of the Series C Preferred and Series C-1 Preferred are insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the aggregate amount which they are entitled to be paid pursuant to this Section 2A(ii), then the entire assets available to be distributed to the Corporation’s stockholders shall be distributed pro rata among such holders of Series C Preferred and Series C-1 Preferred based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all declared and unpaid dividends thereon) of the Series C Preferred or Series C-1 Preferred, as applicable, held by each such holder.

(iii) Payments to Holders of Series B Preferred. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (whether voluntary or involuntary), after the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Series D Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series C-1 Preferred in accordance with Sections 2A(i) and (ii) above, each holder of Series B Preferred shall be entitled to be paid, before any distribution or payment is made upon any Series A Preferred or Junior Securities, an amount in cash equal to the greater of (A) the aggregate Liquidation Value of all shares of Series B Preferred held by such holder plus all declared and unpaid dividends thereon and (B) the amount which such holder would be entitled to receive upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up if all of such holder’s Series B Preferred (and all other shares of Series B Preferred) were converted into Conversion Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up plus an additional amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends on such holder’s Series B Preferred, if any, and the holders of Series B Preferred shall not be entitled to any further payment in respect thereof. If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation’s assets to be distributed among the holders of the Series B Preferred are insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the aggregate amount which they are entitled to be paid pursuant to this Section 2A(iii), then the entire assets available to be distributed to the Corporation’s stockholders shall be distributed pro rata among such holders of Series B Preferred based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all declared and unpaid dividends thereon) of the Series B Preferred held by each such holder.

(iv) Payments to Holders of Series A Preferred. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (whether voluntary or involuntary), after the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Series D Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series C-1 Preferred and Series B Preferred in accordance with Sections 2A(i), (ii) and (iii) above, each holder of Series A Preferred shall be entitled to be paid, before any distribution or payment is made upon any Junior Securities, an amount in cash equal to the greater of (A) the aggregate Liquidation Value of all shares of Series A Preferred held by such holder plus all declared and unpaid dividends thereon and (B) the amount which such holder would be entitled to receive upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up if all of such holder’s Series A Preferred

If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation’s assets to be distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred are insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the aggregate amount which they are entitled to be paid pursuant to this Section 2A(iv), then the entire assets available to be distributed to the Corporation’s stockholders shall be distributed pro rata among such holders of Series A Preferred based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all declared and unpaid dividends thereon) of the Series A Preferred held by each such holder.

2B. Deemed Liquidations. For purposes of this Section 2, any Fundamental Change or Change in Ownership shall (unless otherwise determined by (i) the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis, and (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series D Preferred) be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Corporation, and each holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive in connection therewith payment from the Corporation (or the successor or purchasing entity) of an amount in cash equal to the aggregate amount specified herein that such holders would have received upon a liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Corporation in accordance with this Section 2. If a Fundamental Change or Change in Ownership involves the payment by a successor or purchasing entity to the Corporation’s stockholders of consideration in whole or in part other than cash, then at the election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock, the amounts payable to the holders of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 2 shall be paid in the same form of consideration that is paid to the Corporation’s other stockholders, and if any of the Corporation’s other stockholders are given an option as to the form of consideration to be received, then all holders of Preferred Stock shall be given the same option (with it being understood that the value of any such non-cash consideration shall be determined as provided in Section 6C(v) of this Part B of Article III or, at the election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock, as may be provided in the definitive agreement(s) entered into in connection with any such Fundamental Change or Change in Ownership).

2C. Allocation of Escrow. In the event of a Fundamental Change or Change in Ownership, if any portion of the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation is placed into escrow and/or is payable to the stockholders of the Corporation subject to contingencies, the definitive agreement effecting such Fundamental Change or Change in Ownership shall provide that (a) the portion of such consideration that is not placed in escrow and not subject to any contingencies (the “Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with this Section 2 as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Fundamental Change or Change in Ownership and (b) any additional consideration which becomes payable to the stockholders of the Corporation upon release from escrow or satisfaction of contingencies shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with this Section 2 after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction.

Section 3. Priority of Preferred Stock on Dividends and Redemptions. So long as any Preferred Stock remains outstanding, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any Junior Securities, nor shall the Corporation directly or indirectly pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution upon any Junior Securities.

Section 4. Redemptions.

4A. Redemption Upon Request. At any time and from time to time on or after the fifth anniversary of the date of the first issuance of shares of Series D Preferred, the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis, may require redemption of all of the shares of Preferred Stock held by such holders by delivering written notice of such request to the Corporation. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a request for redemption in accordance with this Section 4A, the Corporation shall give written notice of such request to each other holder of Preferred Stock specifying the Redemption Value (as defined below), the proposed Redemption Date and the place at which payment may be obtained and calling upon such holder to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, his, her or its certificate or certificates representing the shares of Preferred Stock requested to be redeemed (the “Redemption Notice”), and each such other holder shall have until twenty-one (21) days after receipt of the Redemption Notice to request redemption hereunder (by giving written notice to the Corporation) of all of the Preferred Stock owned by such holder. Unless prohibited by applicable law, the Corporation shall redeem all shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed in accordance with this Section 4A, in each case at the Redemption Value, and such redemption shall take place on a date fixed by the Corporation, which date shall be not more than sixty (60) days after the later of the date of the Redemption Notice or the date on which the Redemption Value of the Preferred Stock shall have been determined in accordance with this Section 4.

4B. Redemption Upon a Liquidity Event. If a Liquidity Event has occurred or the Corporation obtains actual knowledge that a Liquidity Event is proposed to occur, then the Corporation shall give prompt written notice (in no event later than ten (10) days after the occurrence of such Liquidity Event or obtaining such knowledge) of such Liquidity Event describing in reasonable detail the material terms and date of consummation thereof to each holder of Preferred Stock, and the Corporation shall give each holder of Preferred Stock prompt written notice of any subsequent material change in the terms or timing of such transaction. The holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock may require the Corporation to redeem all or any portion of the Preferred Stock owned by such holders at a redemption price per share of Preferred Stock payable in cash equal to the Redemption Value thereof by giving written notice to the Corporation of such election prior to the later of (a) twenty one (21) days after receipt of the Corporation’s notice and (b) ten (10) days prior to the consummation of such Liquidity Event (the “Expiration Date”). The Corporation shall give prompt written notice of any such election to all other holders Preferred Stock within ten (10) days after the receipt thereof specifying the Redemption Value, and each such holder shall have until the later of (a) the Expiration Date or (b) five (5) days after receipt of such second notice to request redemption hereunder (by giving written notice to the Corporation) of all or any portion of the Preferred Stock owned by such holder. Upon receipt of such election(s), the Corporation shall be obligated to redeem the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock specified therein upon the occurrence of such Liquidity Event or, with respect to any such elections received in a timely manner in accordance with this Section 4B but not prior to the consummation of such Liquidity Event, ten (10) days after the Corporation’s receipt of such election(s). If any such proposed Liquidity Event does not occur, all requests for redemption in connection therewith shall be automatically rescinded, or if there has been a material change in the terms or the timing of the transaction, the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock may rescind the request for redemption by giving written notice of such rescission to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the

 

5


foregoing, the Corporation shall be entitled to pay the redemption price in the form of the consideration to be received in the Liquidity Event and entitled to deduct such amounts from such redemption price on a pro rata basis to place in escrow to satisfy any indemnification obligations of the Corporation or its stockholders as if such Preferred Stock were outstanding on the date of consummation of the Liquidity Event, only to the extent such holders of Preferred Stock would be obligated to contribute to the escrow if such holders of Preferred Stock were to receive such consideration pursuant to Section 2.

4C. Redemption Value and Procedures. The Corporation shall be required to redeem on the Redemption Date each share of Preferred Stock for which a request for redemption has been delivered in accordance with Section 4A or Section 4B at a price per share (the “Redemption Value”) payable in immediately available funds (or such other property allowed pursuant to Section 4A or Section 4B) equal to (i) if the request is delivered pursuant to Section 4A, the Liquidation Value of such share of Preferred Stock plus all declared and unpaid dividends thereon plus the Preference Amount, where for the purposes of this Section 4C, “Preference Amount” means a five percent (5%) annually compounding return on the Liquidation Value from the date of issuance or (ii) if the request is delivered pursuant to Section 4B, the greater of (x) the value determined in accordance with clause (i) of this Section 4C and (y) the Market Price of the Conversion Stock issuable upon conversion of such share of Preferred Stock (which, in the case of a redemption in connection with a Change in Ownership or Fundamental Change, shall be derived from the aggregate consideration payable in such Change in Ownership or Fundamental Change (with it being understood that the value of any such consideration shall be determined as provided in Section 6C(v) of this Part B of Article III or, at the election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock, as may be provided in the definitive agreement(s) entered into in connection with any such Change in Ownership or Fundamental Change)) if such share of Preferred Stock (and all other shares of Preferred Stock) was converted into Conversion Stock immediately prior thereto plus an additional amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends on such share of Preferred Stock, if any. Except as provided in Section 4D of this Part B of Article III, on or after the Redemption Date, each holder of Preferred Stock on the Redemption Date shall surrender to the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Preferred Stock, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the aggregate Redemption Value of such shares of Preferred Stock shall be payable to the order of the Person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be cancelled.

4D. Failure to Redeem. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares of Preferred Stock on the Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem all shares of Preferred Stock, then (without limiting the Corporation’s obligation hereunder or curing any failure not to redeem all of the shares of Preferred Stock) those funds that are legally available will be used to redeem the maximum possible number of shares of each series of Preferred Stock ratably among the holders of such series in proportion to the aggregate Redemption Value that each such holder would be entitled to receive with respect to such series pursuant to this Section 4, subject to the priorities set forth in Section 2A of this Part B of Article III. The shares of Preferred Stock not redeemed shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided herein. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of shares of Preferred Stock, such funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the shares of each series of Preferred Stock that the Corporation has become obliged to redeem on any Redemption Date but that it has not redeemed, ratably among the holders of such series in proportion to the remaining aggregate Redemption Value that each such holder remains

 

6


entitled to receive with respect to such series, subject to the priorities set forth in Section 2A of this Part B of Article III. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall not declare or pay any dividends or redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire (or pay into or set aside for a sinking fund for such purpose) any Junior Securities after the receipt of notice of redemption under this Section 4, or at any other time when the Corporation is obligated to make redemption payments under this Section 4, unless and until all amounts required to be paid to the holders of the Preferred Stock under this Section 4 shall have been paid in full.

4E. Effect of Redemption. From and after the Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment of the Redemption Value, all rights of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock as holders of Preferred Stock (except the right to receive the applicable Redemption Value without interest upon surrender of their certificate or certificates) shall cease with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed, and such shares of Preferred Stock shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever.

4F. Other Redemptions or Acquisitions. The Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable or otherwise repurchasable by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, except as set forth in this Section 4 or as otherwise agreed to by the Corporation and holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis, subject to the priorities set forth in Section 2A of this Part B of Article III.

Section 5. Voting Rights.

5A. General. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of all stockholders meetings in accordance with the Corporation’s bylaws, and, in addition to any circumstances in which the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote as a separate class under the General Corporation Law of Delaware or this Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters, other than the election of the directors which this Certificate of Incorporation designates for election solely by the holders of Common Stock, submitted to the stockholders for a vote together with the holders of the Common Stock voting together as a single class with each share of Common Stock entitled to one (1) vote per share and each share of Preferred Stock entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock as of the record date for such vote (or, if no record date is specified, as of the date of such vote).

(iii) If the holders of any series of the Preferred Stock for any reason fail to elect one (1) or more directors hereunder, such position shall remain vacant until such time as the holders of such series of Preferred Stock elect an individual to serve as a director to fill such position and shall not be filled by resolution or vote of the Board or the Corporation’s other stockholders.

Section 6. Conversion.

6A. Conversion Procedure.

(i) At any time and from time to time, any holder of Preferred Stock may convert all or any portion of the shares of Preferred Stock held by such holder into a number of shares of Conversion Stock computed by multiplying, in the case of the Series A Preferred, the number of shares of Series A Preferred to be converted by $2.77 (as proportionately adjusted for subsequent stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like) and dividing the result by the Series A Conversion Price (as defined in Section 6B of this Part B of Article III) then in effect, in the case of the Series B Preferred, the number of shares of Series B Preferred to be converted by $3.8240569 (as proportionately adjusted for subsequent stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like) and dividing the result by the Series B Conversion Price (as defined in Section 6B of this Part B of Article III) then in effect, in the case of the Series C Preferred, the number of shares of Series C Preferred to be converted by $4.713781 (as proportionately adjusted for subsequent stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like) and dividing the result by the Series C Conversion Price (as defined in Section 6B of this Part B of Article III) then in effect, in the case of the Series C-1

 

13


Preferred, the number of shares of Series C-1 Preferred to be converted by $4.525126 (as proportionately adjusted for subsequent stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like) and dividing the result by the Series C-1 Conversion Price (as defined in Section 6B of this Part B of Article III) then in effect, and in the case of the Series D Preferred, the number of shares of Series D Preferred to be converted by $5.011010 (as proportionately adjusted for subsequent stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like) and dividing the result by the Series D Conversion Price (as defined in Section 6B of this Part B of Article III) then in effect.

(ii) Except as otherwise provided herein, each conversion of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which the certificate or certificates representing the Preferred Stock to be converted have been surrendered for conversion at the principal office of the Corporation. At the time any such conversion has been effected, the rights of the holder of the shares of Preferred Stock converted as a holder of Preferred Stock shall cease and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Conversion Stock are to be issued upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares of Conversion Stock represented thereby.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a conversion of Preferred Stock is to be made in connection with a Fundamental Change, Change in Ownership, Public Offering or other transaction affecting the Corporation or a holder of Preferred Stock, the conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock may, at the election of the holder thereof, be conditioned upon the consummation of such event or transaction, in which case such conversion shall not be deemed to be effective until such event or transaction has been consummated.

(iv) Promptly (and in any event within ten (10) business days) after a conversion has been effected, the Corporation shall deliver to the converting holder:

(a) cash in an amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock converted;

(b) cash in the amount payable pursuant to Section 6A(ix) of this Part B of Article III with respect to such conversion;

(c) a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable by reason of such conversion in such name or names and such denomination or denominations as the converting holder has specified; and

(d) a certificate representing any shares of Preferred Stock which were represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the Corporation in connection with such conversion but which were not converted.

(v) If the Corporation is not permitted under applicable law to pay any portion of any declared and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock being converted, the Corporation shall pay such dividends to the converting holder as soon thereafter as funds of the Corporation are legally available for such payment. At the request of any such converting holder, the Corporation shall provide such holder with written evidence of its obligation to pay such dividends to such holder.

 

14


(vi) Upon conversion of each share of Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take all such actions as are necessary in order to ensure that the Conversion Stock issuable with respect to such conversion shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes (other than any taxes relating to any dividends paid in connection with such conversion), liens, charges and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof.

(vii) The Corporation shall not close its books against the transfer of Preferred Stock or of Conversion Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of Preferred Stock without the approval of the Board, including at least one (1) Investor Director. The Corporation shall assist and cooperate with any holder of shares of Preferred Stock required to make any governmental filings or obtain any governmental approval prior to or in connection with any conversion of shares of Preferred Stock hereunder (including, without limitation, making any filings required to be made by the Corporation and the Corporation shall pay all filing fees and expenses payable by the Corporation or any such holder in connection therewith).

(viii) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Conversion Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Stock. All shares of Conversion Stock which are so issuable shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges. The Corporation shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Conversion 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 Conversion 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 take any action which would cause the number of authorized but unissued shares of Conversion Stock to be less than the number of such shares required to be reserved hereunder for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock.

(ix) If any fractional interest in a share of Conversion Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section 6A(ix), be delivered upon any conversion of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation, in lieu of delivering the fractional share therefor, shall pay an amount to the holder thereof equal to the Market Price of a share of Common Stock multiplied by such fractional interest as of the date of conversion.

6B. Conversion Price.

(i) The initial “Series A Conversion Price” shall be $2.77 (as proportionately adjusted for subsequent stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like), the initial “Series B Conversion Price” shall be $3.82405469 (as proportionately adjusted for subsequent stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like), the initial “Series C Conversion Price” shall be $4.713781 (as proportionately adjusted for subsequent stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like), the initial “Series C-1 Conversion Price” shall be $4.525126 (as proportionately adjusted for subsequent stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like) and the initial “Series D Conversion Price” shall be $5.011010 (as proportionately adjusted for subsequent stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like). The Series A Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price, the Series C Conversion Price, the Series C-1 Conversion Price and the Series D Conversion Price shall be referred herein collectively as, the “Conversion Price”. In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights granted under this Section 6, the applicable Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to this Section 6B.

 

15


(ii) If and whenever on or after the filing date of this Certificate of Incorporation the Corporation issues or sells, or in accordance with Section 6C is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of its Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then immediately upon such issue or sale or deemed issue or sale the applicable Conversion Price shall be reduced to the applicable Conversion Price determined by dividing (a) the sum of (1) the product derived by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale by the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation upon such issue or sale, by (b) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such issue or sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Conversion Price shall not be reduced at such time if the amount of such reduction would be less than $0.01 (as proportionately adjusted for subsequent stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like), but any such amount shall be carried forward, and a reduction will be made with respect to such amount at the time of, and together with, any subsequent reduction which, together with such amount and any other amounts so carried forward, equal $0.01 (as proportionately adjusted for subsequent stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like) or more in the aggregate.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no adjustment in the applicable Conversion Price as a result of any issue or sale (or deemed issue or sale) of: (A) shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of options to purchase Common Stock granted to employees, directors or service providers of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries pursuant to any stock option plan; (B) shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock; (C) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in a registered public offering under the Securities Act pursuant to which all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock convert to Common Stock; (D) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation by the Corporation by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization or to a joint venture agreement, provided, that such issuances are unanimously approved by the Board; (E) shares of Series D Preferred issued pursuant to that certain Series D Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of the Series D Original Issue Date; and (F) shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued by reason of a dividend, stock split or other distribution on the shares of Common Stock that is covered by Section 6D or Section 6E.

(iv) Waiver of Adjustment of Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if the consideration per share in a transaction that would otherwise trigger a downward adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price and Series C-1 Conversion Price is below the Series A Conversion Price, such downward adjustment may be waived by the written consent or vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, (ii) if the consideration per share in a transaction that would otherwise trigger a downward adjustment is above the Series A Conversion Price, but below the Series B Conversion Price, such downward adjustment may be waived solely by the written consent or vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (iii) if the consideration per share in a transaction that would otherwise trigger a downward adjustment is above the Series C-1 Conversion Price, but below the Series C Conversion Price, such downward adjustment may be waived solely by the written consent or vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, (iv) if the consideration per share in a transaction that would otherwise trigger a downward adjustment is above the Series B Conversion Price, but below the Series C-1 Conversion Price, such downward adjustment may be waived solely by the written consent or vote of holders of at least 65% of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred

 

16


Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class and (v) if the consideration per share in a transaction that would otherwise trigger a downward adjustment of the Series D Conversion Price is below the Series D Conversion Price, such downward adjustment may be waived solely by the written consent or vote of holders of a majority of the Series D Preferred Stock.

6C. Effect on Conversion Price of Certain Events. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under Section 6B of this Part B of Article III, the following shall be applicable:

(i) Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Corporation in any manner grants or sells any Options and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options, or upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options, is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation at the time of the granting or sale of such Options for such price per share. For purposes of this subparagraph, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable” shall be determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the granting or sale of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Corporation upon exercise of all such Options, plus in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made when Convertible Securities are actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or when Common Stock is actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Corporation in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon conversion or exchange thereof is less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this subparagraph, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable” shall be determined by dividing (A) the total amount received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange thereof (excluding cancellation of purchase money indebtedness), by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made when Common Stock is actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustments of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to Section 6C(i), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

 

17


(iii) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be immediately adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold; provided, however, that in no event shall the Conversion Price be adjusted pursuant to this Section 6C(iii) to a Conversion Price above the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect had such Options or Convertible Securities never been issued. For purposes of this paragraph 6C(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security which was outstanding as of the date of the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change; provided that no such change shall at any time cause the Conversion Price hereunder to be increased.

(iv) Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible Securities. Upon the expiration of any Option or the termination of any right to convert or exchange any Convertible Security without the exercise of any such Option or right, the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall be adjusted immediately to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Security, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued. For purposes of this paragraph 6C(iv), the expiration or termination of any Option or Convertible Security which was outstanding as of the date of the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation shall not cause the Conversion Price hereunder to be adjusted unless, and only to the extent that, a change in the terms of such Option or Convertible Security pursuant to Section 6C(iii) caused it to be deemed to have been issued after the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation.

(v) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security is issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Corporation therefore (net of discounts, commissions and related expenses). If any Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security is issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Corporation shall be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Corporation shall be the Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. If any Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security is issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefore shall be deemed to be the fair value of the portion of the net assets of the non-surviving entity that is attributable to such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration or net assets other than cash and securities (and, if applicable, the portions thereof attributable to any such stock or securities) shall be as reasonably determined in good faith by at least 80% of the members of the Board (including at least one (1) Investor Director). If at least 80% of the members of the Board (including at least one (1) Investor Director) are unable to make such determination within a reasonable period of time, then upon demand of any director, the Board shall seek the advice of an independent appraiser (other than one of the “Big Four” accounting firms) experienced in valuing such type of consideration jointly selected by the Corporation and the holders of a majority of the outstanding

 

18


Preferred Stock. Then, upon receipt of such advice, at least 80% of the members of the Board (including at least one (1) Investor Director) shall reconvene and determine such fair market value. If the Board fails to so agree, the determination of the appraiser shall be determinative. The fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Corporation.

(vi) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

(vii) Record Date. If the Corporation takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (a) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (b) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or upon the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

6D. Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and if the Corporation at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of 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.

6E. Organic Change. Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change, the Corporation shall make appropriate provisions (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock then outstanding) to ensure that (i) the Preferred Stock shall not be cancelled or retired as a result of such Organic Change and each of the holders of the Preferred Stock shall thereafter have the right to acquire and receive, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the shares of Conversion Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of such Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as such holder would have received in connection with such Organic Change if such holder had converted its Preferred Stock immediately prior to such Organic Change (plus all declared and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock held by such holder immediately prior to such Organic Change) and (ii) the rights, preferences and privileges of the Preferred Stock are otherwise preserved. In each such case, the Corporation shall also make appropriate provisions (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock then outstanding) to ensure that the provisions of this Section 6, and Section 7 shall thereafter be applicable to the Preferred Stock (including, in the case of any such Organic Change in which the successor entity or purchasing entity is other than the Corporation, an immediate adjustment of the Conversion Price to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such Organic Change, and a corresponding immediate adjustment in the number of shares of Conversion Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of Preferred Stock, if the value so reflected is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Organic Change). The Corporation shall not effect any such Organic Change, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Corporation) resulting from consolidation or merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the holders

 

19


of a majority of the Preferred Stock then outstanding), the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to acquire. Each holder of Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect the benefits of this Section 6E or, to the extent applicable, Section 2B or Section 4B of this Part B of Article III in connection with any such Organic Change.

6F. Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 6 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock; provided that no such adjustment shall increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 6 or decrease the number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Preferred Stock.

6G. Notices.

(i) Promptly following any adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Corporation shall give written notice thereof to all holders of Preferred Stock, setting forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment.

(ii) The Corporation shall give written notice to all holders of Preferred Stock at least fifteen (15) 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 Common Stock, (b) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock, or (c) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation.

(iii) The Corporation shall also give written notice to the holders of Preferred Stock at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which any Organic Change or liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall take place and, in the case of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, such written notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the amount of proceeds payable with respect to each share of Preferred Stock and each share of Junior Securities in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

6H. Mandatory Conversion. All of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into Conversion Stock upon the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering at the then-applicable Conversion Rate. Any such mandatory conversion shall be effected only at the time of and subject to the consummation of the sale of shares pursuant to such Qualified Public Offering upon written notice of such mandatory conversion delivered to all holders of Preferred Stock at least seven (7) days prior to the consummation of such Qualified Public Offering. In addition, all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into Conversion Stock upon the vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis, approving such automatic conversion; provided, that no shares of Series D Preferred shall convert pursuant to this sentence without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock unless such conversion is in connection with (a) a Fundamental Change or Change in Ownership and the per share proceeds to holders of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Series D Preferred Stock are equal to or greater than $5.011010 (as appropriately adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends and the like with respect to the Common Stock) or (b) a Public Offering with a price per share paid by the public for such shares of at least $5.011010 (as appropriately adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends and the like with respect to the Common Stock).
