Section 2. Designation, Amount and Par Value; Assignment.

 

(a) The series of preferred stock designated by this Certificate of Designation shall be designated as the Corporation’s Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock”) and the number of shares so designated shall be (which shall not be subject to increase without the written consent of the Holders holding a majority of the then issued and outstanding Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock).

Holders shall be entitled to receive, and the Corporation shall pay, but only out of any funds legally available for the declaration of dividends, annual non-compounding dividends payable as provided in Section 3(b) below at the rate per share (as a percentage of the Stated Value per share of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock) of 9% per annum. Dividends on shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock shall accrue and be cumulative from the Issuance Date and shall accrue from day to day thereafter for so long as Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding. Dividends may be declared and paid on Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock when and as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation out of any funds legally available for such purpose.

Dividends are payable (i) on each Conversion Date (with respect only to Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock being converted), (ii) on each such other date as the Board of Directors of the Corporation may determine pursuant to Section 3(a) above; (iii) upon Liquidation as set forth in Section 5; and (iv) upon occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (each such date, a “Dividend Payment Date”), at the option of the Corporation, in cash or in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as set forth in this Section 3(b) (the amount to be paid in shares of Common Stock, the “Dividend Share Amount Payment”); provided, however, that upon the conversion of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Corporation shall also pay to the Holders of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock so converted, an amount equal to the Make-Whole Amount, less the amount of all prior dividends made on such converted Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock before the relevant Conversion Date (the “Make-Whole Payment”), payable at the option of the Corporation, in cash or in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. With respect to any Dividend Share Amount Payments and Make-Whole Payments paid in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to a Holder pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall be an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the amount of the dividend payable to such Holder divided by (y) the Conversion Price then in effect, provided that the Conversion Price shall not be less than the Floor Price.

Payment of dividends and Make-Whole Payments in shares of Common Stock shall otherwise occur pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) herein and, solely for purposes of the payment of dividends in shares, the Dividend Payment Date shall be deemed the Conversion Date.

Section 6. Conversion.

 

(a) Automatic Conversion. On the Mandatory Conversion Date, all outstanding shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and, to the extent that the Corporation elects to pay dividends pursuant to Section 3 hereof in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon through and including the Mandatory Conversion Date shall be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price (as adjusted pursuant to Section 7 hereof); provided, however, that to the extent that an Automatic Conversion would result in a Holder and its other Attribution Parties (as defined below) exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation set forth in Section 6(d), if applicable, then such Holder’s Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be automatically converted into Common Stock and shall remain outstanding, and such Holder shall benefit from all preferences and rights set forth in this Certificate of Designations (except that the provisions set forth in Section 7(c) shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect) to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Automatic Conversion (and beneficial ownership) to such extent), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the automatic conversion of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock to such extent shall be held in abeyance for such Holder until such time or times as conversion of such Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock would not result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation set forth in Section 6(d), at which time or times such Holder shall be issued such shares of Common Stock (and any shares of Common Stock granted or issued with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation. Upon an Automatic Conversion, subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence, the outstanding shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the Holders of such shares.

(b) Conversions at Option of Holder. Each share of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the Issuance Date through the Mandatory Conversion Date, at the option of the Holder thereof, into a number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(d)) equal to the quotient of (i) the sum of the aggregate Stated Value of those shares being converted and, to the extent that the Corporation elects to pay dividends pursuant to Section 3 hereof in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, divided by (ii) the Conversion Price then in effect. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”), duly completed and executed. Other than a conversion following a Fundamental Transaction or following a notice provided for under Section 7(e)(ii) hereof, the Notice of Conversion must specify at least (i) a number of shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted equal to the lesser of (x) 100 shares (such number subject to appropriate adjustment following the occurrence of an event specified in Section 7(a) hereof) and (y) the number of shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock then held by the Holder, (ii) the number of shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue and (iii) the number of shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue. Provided the Corporation’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program and the applicable Conversion Shares are either registered for issuance, registered for resale or eligible for resale without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, the Notice of Conversion may specify, at the Holder’s election, whether the applicable Conversion Shares shall be credited to the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (a “DWAC Delivery”). The “Conversion Date”, or the date on which a conversion pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be deemed effective, shall be defined as the Trading Day that the Notice of Conversion, completed and executed, is sent by email or facsimile to, and received during regular business hours by, the Corporation. The calculations set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. Shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.

 

(c) Intentionally omitted

 

(d) Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

 

i. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, pursuant to this Section 6 or otherwise, to the extent that, after giving effect to an attempted conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, including any “group” of which the Holder is a member (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).

 

ii. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties, and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties (including, without limitation, any convertible notes, convertible stock or warrants) that are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission. In addition, for purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.

 

7

 

 

iii. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6(d) applies, the determination of whether Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of its Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and how many shares of the Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For purposes of this Section, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Corporation’s most recent public filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (C) a more recent notice by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Holder (which may be by email), the Corporation shall, within two (2) Business Days of such request, confirm orally and in writing to such Holder (which may be via email) the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to any actual conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was last publicly reported or confirmed to the Holder.

 

iv. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such conversion of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder (to the extent permitted pursuant to this Section). The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Corporation, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section applicable to its Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion the Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation and shall only be effective with respect to such Holder. The provisions of this Section shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

 

(e) Mechanics of Conversion

 

i. Electronic Issuance Upon Conversion. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after the applicable Conversion Date after receipt by the Corporation of the Notice of Conversion (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall electronically transfer such Conversion Shares by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its DWAC system. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such shares are not electronically delivered to or as directed by, the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the applicable Holder shall be entitled to elect to rescind such Notice of Conversion by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before electronic receipt of such shares in which event the Corporation shall promptly direct the return to such Holder any shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock electronically delivered to the Corporation and such Holder shall promptly direct the return of any shares of Common Stock delivered to the Holder through the DWAC system, representing the shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock unsuccessfully tendered for conversion to the Corporation.

ii. Obligation Absolute. Subject to Section 6(d) hereof and subject to Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(e)(i) above, the Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares. Subject to Section 6(d) hereof and subject to Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(e)(i) above, in the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of its Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one Person associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to such Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained by the Corporation, and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 150% of the value of the Conversion Shares into which would be converted the Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock which is subject to such injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the earlier of the issuance of an order or judgment regarding the underlying dispute in favor of the Corporation or the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment.

 

iii. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and payment of dividends on the Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders of the Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments of Section 7) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and payment of dividends hereunder. The Corporation shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock (including, if necessary, seeking stockholder approval to authorize the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock), or any other actions necessary or desirable, if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to permit such reservation or to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (including any dividends payable thereon). The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

iv. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which a Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon such conversion, the Corporation shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or rounded to the nearest whole share (with one-half being rounded upward).

 

v. Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of shares of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such shares, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the registered Holder(s) of such shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid. The Corporation shall pay all transfer agent fees required for processing of any Notice of Conversion.

(f) Status as Stockholder. Upon each Conversion Date, (i) the shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock being converted shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a holder of such converted shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. In all cases, the holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies for the Corporation’s failure to convert Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

Section 7. Certain Adjustments.

 

(a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while the shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of, or payment of dividends on, this Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock) with respect to the then outstanding shares of Common Stock; (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; or (C) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation). Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment pursuant to this Section 7 shall cause the Conversion Price to be less than the Floor Price.

 

(b) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, (A) the Corporation effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person (other than a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing entity and its Common Stock is not exchanged for or converted into other securities, cash or property), (B) the Corporation effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which all of the Common Stock is exchanged for or converted into other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Corporation effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant (other than as a result of a dividend, subdivision or combination covered by Section 7(a) above) to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock the Holders shall have the right to receive, in lieu of the right to receive Conversion Shares, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holders shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate of Designation with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement to which the Corporation is a party and pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 7(b) and ensuring that this Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. The Corporation shall cause to be delivered to each Holder, at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, written notice of any Fundamental Transaction at least 20 calendar days prior to the date on which such Fundamental Transaction is expected to become effective or close.

(c) Subsequent Equity Sales. If, at any time while this Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price; provided notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) that no adjustment pursuant to this Section 7(c) shall cause the Base Conversion Price to be less than the Floor Price and (ii) in the event the Conversion Price has been adjusted pursuant to this Section 7(c) and the Dilutive Issuance that triggered such adjustment does not occur, is not consummated, is unwound, or is canceled after the fact for any reason whatsoever, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price in effect prior to the such Dilutive Issuance; and provided, further, that for the purposes of this Section 7(c) pre-funded warrants issued by the Corporation shall be treated as an issuance of Common Stock and valued at the price per share paid by the holders of such pre-funded warrants for the Common Stock to which such pre-funded warrants relate and other options or warrants issued by the Corporation shall be valued at the respective exercise price of such securities. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 7(c) in respect of an Exempt Issuance.

 

(d) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.

 

(e) Notice to Holders.

 

i. Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii. Other Notices. If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be delivered to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, at least 5 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.
