ARTICLE IV

 

A. Authorization of Stock. This corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, common stock and preferred stock. The total number of shares of common stock authorized to be issued is 73,000,000, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), 40,000,000 of which shares are designated as "Class A Common Stock" and 33,000,000 of which shares are designated as "Class B Common Stock". The total number of shares of preferred stock authorized to be issued is 10,050,000, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), all of which shares are designated as "Series A Preferred Stock."

 

Effective immediately upon the filing of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Effective Time''), each one (I) share of Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (shall be automatically split (without any further action by the stockholders or any other person) into five hundred eighty (580) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class B Common Stock and twenty (20) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

B. Rights, Preferences and Restrictions of Series A Preferred Stock. Subject to the special rights of holders of any series of any newly issued Preferred Stock, the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed on the Series A Preferred Stock are as set forth below in this Article IV(B).

 

I. Dividend Provisions.

 

(a) The corporation shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the corporation (other than dividends on shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock) unless (in addition to the obtaining of any consents required elsewhere in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation) the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock in an amount at least equal to the dividend payable on each share of such class or series determined, if applicable, as if all shares of such class or series had been converted into Common Stock.

 

(b) After payment of such dividends, any additional dividends or distributions shall be distributed among all holders of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock that would be held by each such holder if all shares of Series A Preferred Stock were converted to Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Rate (as defined below).

 

2. Liquidation Preference.

 

(a) In the event of any Liquidation Event (as defined below), either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of each series of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the proceeds or assets of this corporation available for distribution to its stockholders (the "Proceeds"), prior and in preference to any distribution of the Proceeds of such Liquidation Event to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the sum of the applicable Original Issue Price (as defined below) for such series of Series A Preferred Stock, plus declared but unpaid dividends on such share. If, upon the occurrence of such event, the Proceeds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then the entire Proceeds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount that each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive under this subsection (a). For purposes of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, "Original Issue Price" shall mean $5.00 per share for each share of the Series A Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations or the like with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock).

(b) Upon completion of the distribution required by subsection (a) of this Section 2, all of the remaining Proceeds available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each.

 

(c) Notwithstanding the above, for purposes of determining the amount each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receive with respect to a Liquidation Event, each such holder of shares of a series of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have converted (regardless of whether such holder actually converted) such holder's shares of such series into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Liquidation Event if, as a result of an actual conversion, such holder would receive, in the aggregate, an amount greater than the amount that would be distributed to such holder if such holder did not convert such series of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock. If any such holder shall be deemed to have converted shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph, then such holder shall not be entitled to receive any distribution that would otherwise be made to holders of Series A Preferred Stock that have not converted (or have not been deemed to have converted) into shares of Common Stock.

 

(d) (i) For purposes of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a "Liquidation Event" shall mean (A) the closing of the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of this corporation's assets, (B) the consummation of the merger or consolidation of this corporation with or into another entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of this corporation immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of this corporation or the surviving or acquiring entity immediately following such merger or consolidation in substantially the same proportions, and with substantially the same terms, as held immediately prior to such merger or consolidation), (C) the closing of the transfer (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons (other than an underwriter of this corporation's securities), of this corporation's securities if, after such closing, such person or group of affiliated persons would hold fifty percent (50%) or more of the then outstanding voting stock of this corporation (or the surviving or acquiring entity) or (D) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation; provided, however, that a transaction shall not constitute a Liquidation Event if its sole purpose is to change the state of this corporation's incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held this corporation's securities immediately prior to such transaction.

(ii) In any Liquidation Event, if Proceeds received by this corporation or its stockholders is other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value. Any securities shall be valued as follows:

 

(A) Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability covered by (B) below:

 

(1) If traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange over the twenty (20) trading-day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the closing of the Liquidation Event;

 

(2) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the twenty (20) trading-day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the closing of the Liquidation Event; and

 

(3) If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined by the Board of Directors.

 

(B) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder's status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in (A) (I), (2) or (3) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as determined by the Board of Directors.

 

(C) The foregoing methods for valuing non-cash consideration to be distributed in connection with a Liquidation Event shall, with the appropriate approval of the definitive agreements governing such Liquidation Event by the stockholders under the General Corporation Law, be superseded by the determination of such value set forth in the definitive agreements governing such Liquidation Event.

 

(iii) In the event the requirements of this Section 2 are not complied with, this corporation shall forthwith either:

 

(A) cause the closing of such Liquidation Event to be postponed until such time as the requirements of this Section 2 have been complied with; or

 

(B) cancel such transaction, in which event the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights, preferences and privileges existing immediately prior to the date of the first notice referred to in subsection 2(d)(iv) hereof.

 

(iv) This corporation shall give each holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock written notice of such impending Liquidation Event not later than twenty (20) days prior to the stockholders' meeting called to approve such transaction, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of such transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing of the final approval of such transaction. The first of such notices shall describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction and the provisions of this Section 2, and this corporation shall thereafter give such holders prompt notice of any material changes. The transaction shall in no event take place sooner than twenty (20) days after this corporation has given the first notice provided for herein or sooner than ten (I 0) days after this corporation has given notice of any material changes provided for herein; provided, however, that subject to compliance with the General Corporation Law such periods may be shortened or waived upon the written consent of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock that represent a majority of the then outstanding shares of such Series A Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis).

3. Redemption. The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable at the option of the holder thereof.

 

4. Conversion. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion Rights''):

 

(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, at the office of this corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock as is determined by dividing the applicable Original Issue Price for such series by the applicable Conversion Price (as defined below) for such series (the conversion rate for a series of Series A Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock is referred to herein as the "Conversion Rate" for such series), determined as hereafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The initial "Conversion Price" per share for Series A Preferred Stock shall be the Original Issue Price; provided, however, that the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in subsection 4(d).

 

(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock at the Conversion Rate at the time in effect for such series of Series A Preferred Stock immediately upon the earlier of

 

(i) the closing of this corporation's sale of its Common Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the public offering price (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations or the like) that results in at least $150,000,000 of gross proceeds to this corporation (a "Qualified Public Offering''), following which, this corporation's shares are listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq Global Select Market or Nasdaq Global Market or (ii) the date, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent or agreement of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis).

 

(c) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to voluntarily convert the same into shares of Class A Common Stock, if such holder's shares are certificated, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of this corporation or of any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to this corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the shares of Class A Common Stock are to be issued. This corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate, certificates or a notice of issuance of uncertificated shares for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date set forth for conversion in the written notice of the election to convert irrespective of the surrender of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offering of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Series A Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the persons entitled to receive the Class A Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Series A Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities. If the conversion is in connection with Automatic Conversion provisions of subsection 4(b)(ii) above, such conversion shall be deemed to have been made on the conversion date described in the stockholder consent approving such conversion, and the persons entitled to receive shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock as of such date.

(d) Adjustment to Conversion Price and Number of Conversion shares. In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights granted under this Section 4, the Conversion Price and the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the corporation then issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of Section 4 (the "Conversion shares") shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this section 4(d).

 

(i) Adjustment to Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. Except as provided in subsection 4(d)(iii) and except in the case of an event described in either subsection 4(d)(v) or subsection 4(d)(vi), if the corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the date on which the corporation initially issued a given share of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Date oflssuance"), issue or sell, or in accordance with subsection 4(d)(iv) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock without consideration or for consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), then immediately upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) shall be reduced (and in no event increased) to a Conversion Price equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:

 

(A) the sum of (A) the product obtained by multiplying the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (which is defined to mean at any given time, the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding at such time, plus (b) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any warrants or other rights or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities (each an "Option") actually outstanding at such time, plus (c) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities actually outstanding at such time (treating as actually outstanding any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of Options actually outstanding at such time), in each case, regardless of whether the Options or Convertible Securities are actually exercisable at such time; provided, that Common Stock Deemed Outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the corporation or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries) immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) by the Conversion Price then in effect plus (B) the aggregate consideration, if any, received by the corporation upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale); by

(B) the sum of (A) the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) plus (B) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued or sold (or deemed issued or sold) by the corporation in such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale).

 

Whenever following the Date of Issuance, the corporation shall issue or sell, or in accordance with subsection 4(d)(iv) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock, the corporation shall prepare a certificate signed by an executive officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the number of shares issued or sold, or deemed issued or sold, the amount and the form of the consideration received by the corporation, and the method of computation of such amount and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed to the holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock at the address specified for such holder in the books and records of the corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the corporation in writing by such holder).

 

(ii) Adjustment to Number of Conversion shares upon Adjustment to Conversion Price. Upon any and each adjustment of the Conversion Price as provided in subsection 4(d)(i), the number of Conversion shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to any such adjustment shall be increased to a number of Conversion shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:

 

(A) the product of (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to any such adjustment multiplied by (B) the number of Conversion shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to any such adjustment; by

 

 

(B) the Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment.

 

(iii) Exceptions To Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, there shall be no adjustment to the Conversion Price or the number of Conversion shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to any Excluded Issuance. An "Excluded Issuance" shall mean any issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale in accordance with subsection 4(iv) by the corporation after the Date oflssuance of: (a) shares of Common Stock issued on the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock; (b) shares of Common Stock (as such number of shares is equitably adjusted for subsequent stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, and recapitalizations) issued directly or upon the exercise of Options to directors, officers, employees, or consultants of the corporation in connection with their service as directors of the corporation, their employment by the corporation, or their retention as consultants by the corporation, in each case authorized by the Board and issued pursuant to the corporation's equity incentive plan then in effect (including all such shares of Common Stock and Options outstanding prior to the Date of Issuance); or (c) shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exercise of Options (other than Options covered by clause (b) above) or any securities (directly or indirectly) convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, but excluding Options ("Convertible Securities") issued prior to the Date of Issuance, provided that such securities are not amended after the date hereof to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder or to lower the exercise or conversion price thereof.

(iv) Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to Conversion Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under subsection 4(d)(i) hereof, the following shall be applicable:

 

(A) Issuance of Options. If the corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date oflssuance, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Options, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in subsection 4(IV)(E) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon the 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 Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Options (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Conversion Price under subsection 4(i), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of subsection 4(i) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the corporation as consideration for the granting or sale of all such Options, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the corporation upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), 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 issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such Options. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4(iv)(C), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock or of Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

(B) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in subsection 4(iv)(E) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Convertible Securities (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Conversion Price pursuant to subsection 4(i), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of subsection 4(i) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the corporation as consideration for the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the corporation upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4(iv)(C), (A) no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (B) no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Conversion Price have been made pursuant to the other provisions of this subsection 4(iv).

 

(C) Change in Terms of Options or Convertible Securities. Upon any change in any of (A) the total amount received or receivable by the corporation as consideration for the granting or sale of any Options or Convertible Securities referred to in subsection 4(iv)(A) or subsection 4(iv)(B) hereof, (B) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the corporation upon the exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion, or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in subsection 4(iv)(A) or subsection 4(iv)(B) hereof, (C) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in subsection 4(iv)(A) or subsection 4(iv)(B) hereof are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any Options referred to in subsection 4(iv)(A) hereof or any Convertible Securities referred to in subsection 4(iv)(B) hereof (in each case, other than in connection with an Excluded Issuance), then (whether or not the original issuance or sale of such Options or Convertible Securities resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4) the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4 had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed consideration, conversion rate, or maximum number of shares, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued, or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment the Conversion Price then in effect is reduced, and the number of Conversion shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to any such adjustment or readjustment shall be correspondingly adjusted or readjusted pursuant to the provisions of subsection 4(ii).

 

 
10

 

 

(D) Treatment of Expired or Terminated Options or Convertible Securities. Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or any unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) for which any adjustment (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) was made pursuant to this Section 4 (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of all or any portion of such Option or Convertible Security by the corporation), the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed pursuant to the provisions of this subsection 4 to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof), to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.

 

(E) Calculation of Consideration Received. If the corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold in accordance with subsection 4(iv), any shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities: (A) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the corporation therefor; (B) for 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 marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the corporation shall be the market price (as reflected on any securities exchange, quotation system, or association or similar pricing system covering such security) for such securities as of the end of business on the date of receipt of such securities; (C) for no specifically allocated consideration in connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of the corporation, together comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the aggregate consideration received by the corporation in such transaction as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued in such transaction; or (D) 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 therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued to such owners. The net amount of any cash consideration and the fair value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities shall be determined in good faith jointly by the Board and the consent of two-thirds of the then total outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(F) Record Date. For purposes of any adjustment to the Conversion Price or the number of Conversion shares in accordance with this Section 4, in case the corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options, or 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 the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

 

 
11

 

 

(G) 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 of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof or the transfer of such shares among the corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 4.

 

(v) Adjustment to Conversion Price and Conversion shares upon Dividend, Subdivision, or Combination of Common Stock. If the corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock or any other capital stock of the corporation payable in shares of Common Stock or in Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization, or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution, or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Conversion shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be proportionately increased. If the corporation at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split, or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Conversion shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this subsection 4(v) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision, or combination becomes effective.

 

(vi) Adjustment to Conversion Price and Conversion shares upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the corporation, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the corporation (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of the corporation with or into another person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the corporation's assets to another person or (v) other similar transaction (other than any such transaction covered by subsection 4(v), in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Conversion shares then convertible for such share, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the corporation or of the successor person resulting from such transaction to which such share would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction if the share had been converted in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Conversion shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such conversion (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of such share, if any); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made with respect to such holder's rights under this Restated Certificate of Incorporation to insure that the provisions of this Section 4 hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to the Series A Preferred Stock in relation to any shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter acquirable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction in which the successor or purchasing person is other than the corporation, an immediate adjustment in the Conversion Price to the value per share for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, and a corresponding immediate adjustment to the number of Conversion shares acquirable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock without regard to any limitations or restrictions on conversion, if the value so reflected is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction). The provisions of this subsection 4(vi) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, or similar transactions. The corporation shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor person (if other than the corporation) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the obligation to deliver to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock such shares of stock, securities, or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders shall be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this subsection 4(iv), each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to give effect to the provisions of Section 4 hereunder, instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this subsection 4(iv) with respect to such holder's Series A Preferred Stock.

 

 
12

 

 

(vii) Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4 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) occurs, then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price and the number of Conversion shares issuable upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock so as to protect the rights of the holder of such shares in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 4; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 shall increase the Conversion Price or decrease the number of Conversion shares issuable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 4.

 

(viii) Certificate as to Adjustment.

 

(A) As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Conversion Price, but in any event not later than 60 days thereafter, the corporation shall furnish to each holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock at the address specified for such holder in the books and records of the corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the corporation in writing by such holder) a certificate of an executive officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

 

(B) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the corporation of a written request by any holder of Series A Preferred Stock, but in any event not later than 30 days thereafter, the corporation shall furnish to such holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of Conversion shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities, or assets then issuable to such holder upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder.

 

 
13

 

 

(ix) Notices. In the event:

 

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

 

(B) of any capital reorganization of the corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the corporation, any consolidation or merger of the corporation with or into another person, or sale of all or substantially all of the corporation's assets to another person; or

 

(C) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up of the corporation;

 

then, and in each such case, the corporation shall send or cause to be sent to each holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock at the address specified for such holder in the books and records of the corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the corporation in writing by such holder) at least 30 days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for the event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting or consent, or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution, or other right or action to be taken at such meeting or by written consent, or (B) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the corporation shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Series A Preferred Stock and the Conversion shares.

 

(e) Other Distributions. In the event this corporation shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by this corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in subsection 4(d)(iii), then, in each such case for the purpose of this subsection 4(e), the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock of this corporation into which their shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Class A Common Stock of this corporation entitled to receive such distribution.

 

 
14

 

 

(f) Recapitalizations. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Class A Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 4 or in Section 2) provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of this corporation or otherwise, to which a holder of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalently as may be practicable.

 

(g) No Fractional shares and Certificate as to Adjustments.

 

(i) No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to particular stockholders, shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share and this corporation shall pay in cash the fair market value of any fractional shares as of the time when entitlement to receive such fractional shares is determined. 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 A Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Class A Common Stock and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

 

(ii) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4, this corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. This corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Series A Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Conversion Price for such series of Series A Preferred Stock at the time in effect, and (C) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(h) Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by this corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, this corporation shall mail to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock, at least ten(10) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution, and the amount and character of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that subject to compliance with the General Corporation Law such notice period may be shortened or waived upon the written consent of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock that represent a majority of the then outstanding shares of such Series A Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis).

 

 
15

 

 

(i) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. This corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Series A Preferred Stock, this corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Restated Certificate oflncorporation.

 

5. Voting Rights. The holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock into which such Series A Preferred Stock could then be converted, and with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Class A Common Stock, and shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any stockholders' meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of this corporation, and except as provided by law or with respect to the election of directors by the separate class vote of the holders of Common Stock, shall be entitled to vote, together with holders of Class A Common Stock, with respect to any question upon which holders of Class A Common Stock have the right to vote. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights available on an as-converted basis (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one- half (1/2) being rounded upward).

 

6. Reserved.

 

7. Status of Converted Stock. In the event any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the shares so converted shall be cancelled and shall not be issuable by this corporation.

The Company shall not declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution to the holders of Common Stock payable in securities of the Company unless the same dividend or distribution with the same record date and payment date shall be declared and paid on all shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that dividends or other distributions payable in shares of Class B Common Stock or rights to acquire shares of Class B Common Stock may be declared and paid to the holders of Class B Common Stock without the same dividend or distribution being declared and paid to the holders of the Class A Common Stock if, and only if, a dividend payable in shares of Class A Common Stock or rights to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock are declared and paid to the holders of Class A Common Stock at the same rate and with the same record date and payment date; and dividends or other distributions payable in shares of Class A Common Stock or rights to acquire shares Class A Common Stock may be declared and paid to the holders of Class A Common Stock without the same dividend or distribution being declared and paid to the holders of the Class B Common Stock if, and only if, a dividend payable in shares of Class B Common Stock or rights to acquire shares of Class B Common Stock are declared and paid to the holders of Class B Common Stock at the same rate and with the same record date and payment date; and provided, further, that nothing in the foregoing shall prevent the Company from declaring and paying dividends or other distributions payable in shares of one class of Common Stock or rights to acquire one class of Common Stock to holders of all classes of Common Stock.

 

3. Liquidation Rights. Subject to the terms of any series of Preferred Stock, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation, the assets of this corporation shall be distributed as provided in Section 2 of Article IV(B) hereof, and shall be distributed on an equal priority, pro rata basis to the holders of Common Stock, unless different treatment of the shares of each such class is approved by the affrrmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock and Class A Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

 

4. Redemption. The Common Stock is not redeemable at the option of the holder.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, the holders of Class B Common Stock and Class A Common Stock will vote together and not as separate series or classes. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of this corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law.

 

 
19

 

 

(b) The holders of the Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis) shall be entitled to elect the directors of this corporation, and following the Final Conversion Date, the holders of Common Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to elect, remove and replace all directors of the Company.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 223(a)(l) and 223(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law, any vacancy, including newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or amendment of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and vacancies created by removal or resignation of a director, may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and the directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until their successors are duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced; provided, however, that where such vacancy occurs among the directors elected by the holders of a class or series of stock, the holders of shares of such class or series may override the Board's action to fill such vacancy by

(i) voting for their own designee to fill such vacancy at a meeting of this corporation's stockholders or (ii) written consent, if the consenting stockholders hold a sufficient number of shares to elect their designee at a meeting of the stockholders. Any director may be removed during his or her term of office, either with or without cause, by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of the class or series of stock entitled to elect such director or directors, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders, and any vacancy thereby created may be filled by the holders of that class or series of stock represented at the meeting or pursuant to written consent.

The Class B Common Stock will automatically be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock: (a) on the affirmative election of such holder; or (b) on the occurrence of a Transfer of such share of Class B Common Stock, other than a Permitted Transfer.

 

 
20

 

 

On the occurrence of the conversion events specified in this Section 6, such conversion will occur automatically without the need for any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Company will not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable on such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Class B Common Stock, if any such certificates have been issued, are either delivered to the Company or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. On the occurrence of such automatic conversion of the Class B Common Stock, the holders of Class B Common Stock so converted will surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Class A Common Stock. Thereupon, if requested by any holder of Class B Common Stock, there will be issued and delivered to such holder promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the shares of Class B Common Stock surrendered were convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred.

 

7. Reservation of Stock issuable Upon Conversion. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Class B Common Stock, such number of its shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock will not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock to such number of shares as will be sufficient for such purpose.

 

8. No Reissuance of Class B Common Stock. No share or shares of Class B Common Stock acquired by the Company by reason of redemption, purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be cancelled, retired and eliminated from the shares that the Company shall be authorized to issue.

 

9. Subdivision. If the Company in any manner subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock or Class A Common Stock, then the outstanding shares of all Common Stock will be subdivided or combined in the same proportion and manner.
