Units (the “Units”), each consisting of (i) one share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), and (ii) a number of warrants equal to (0.5 * Unit Price) / Common Stock Value (the “Warrants”).

 

Each Warrant will be exercisable to purchase one share of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $6.90 per share of Common Stock. Each Warrant is exercisable from the Closing Date through the third anniversary of the Closing Date.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock and the Warrants comprising the Units will separate upon the closing of the Transaction and will be issued separately but may be purchased only as a Unit.

   
Purchase Price: The purchase price per Unit shall be $1,000.00 (the “Unit Price”).

Dividend Rights: Dividends will accrue on the Series B Preferred Stock at a rate of 7% per annum, payable whenever funds are legally available and when and as declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, with (i) 4% per annum payable in cash at the end of each quarter (“Cash Dividend”), and (ii) 3% per annum payable, at the election of Investor, in cash or in shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price equal to the Common Stock Value (“PIK Dividend”).  Such dividends shall be non-cumulative. Cash Dividends shall be payable annually in arrears.  PIK Dividends shall be issued when all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock have converted into shares of Common Stock.  For purposes of clarity, no Warrants will be issued in connection with issuance of PIK Dividends.  Dividends accrued and payable on the Series B Preferred Stock will be paid in preference to any dividends accrued or payable on the Common Stock.

Voting Rights: Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights except as required by law.  To the extent that voting rights otherwise required by law can be waived or released, such voting rights are hereby waived and released.
