All shares of Common Stock that are held by a stockholder shall be aggregated subsequent to the Reverse Split. In lieu of any interest in a fractional share of Common Stock that may remain following such aggregation, the Corporation shall pay a cash amount to such stockholder equal to the fair value of such fractional share (as determined in good faith by the Corporation’s board of directors (the “Board”)), rounded up to the nearest whole $0.01.

The voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers and preferences of the holders of the Preferred Stock set forth herein and the rights, power and preferences of any additional class or series of Preferred Stock that may from time to time be designated by resolution of the Board. Whenever dividends upon the Preferred Stock, to the extent such stock may be entitled thereto, shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment, the Board may declare a dividend upon the Common Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation and after the payment of any preferential amounts to be distributed to the holders of Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Corporation shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Common Stock in proportion to the number of shares held by each such holder.

2. Voting Rights. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held by such holder at all meetings of stockholders (and written actions in lieu of meetings). There shall be no cumulative voting. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by, in addition to any vote of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock that may be required by the terms of this certificate of incorporation or any amendments hereto (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the votes represented by all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL and without the necessity of a vote of the holders of Common Stock; provided however, that holders of Common Stock, as such shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation or pursuant to the DGCL.

C. Preferred Stock.

1. Dividends. The holders of shares of Series Preferred Stock (on a pari passu basis) shall be entitled to receive in preference to the holders of any and all other classes of capital stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series Preferred Stock, out of funds legally available therefore, cumulative dividends (a) with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock, at a rate per annum of 8% compounded annually on the Series B Original Issue Price (as hereinafter defined) and (b) with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, at a rate per annum of 8% compounded annually on the Series A Original Issue Price (as hereinafter defined), in each case from and after the date of the issuance of any shares of Series Preferred Stock of the Corporation,

subject to proration for partial years on the basis of a 360-day year (the “Accruing Dividends”). Accruing Dividends shall accrue from day to day whether or not they have been declared and whether or not the Corporation may legally pay such dividends; provided however, that except as set forth in the following sentence of this Section 1 or in Section 2, such Accruing Dividends shall be payable only when, as and if declared by the Board, and the Corporation shall be under no obligation to pay such Accruing Dividends. The Corporation shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on any other shares of capital stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series Preferred Stock (other than dividends on shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock) unless (in addition to the obtaining of any consent required elsewhere in this Certificate of Incorporation) the holders of the Series Preferred Stock then outstanding shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Series Preferred Stock in an amount at least equal to the greater of (i) the amount of the aggregate Accruing Dividends then accrued on such share of Series Preferred Stock and not previously paid and (ii) (x) in the case of a dividend on Common Stock or any class or series that is convertible into Common Stock, that dividend per share of Series Preferred Stock as would equal the product of (A) the dividend payable on each share of such class or series determined, if applicable, as if all such shares of such class or series had been converted into Common Stock and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Series Preferred Stock, in each case calculated on the record date for determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend or (y) in the case of a dividend on any class or series that is not convertible into Common Stock, at a rate per share of Series Preferred Stock determined by (A) dividing the amount of the dividend payable on each share of such class or series of capital stock by the original issuance price of such class or series of capital stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to such class or series) and (B) multiplying such fraction by an amount equal to the Series B Original Issue Price or Series A Original Issue Price (as applicable); provided, that if the Corporation declares, pays or sets aside, on the same date, a dividend on shares of more than one class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, the dividend payable to the holders of Series Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 1 shall be calculated based upon the dividend on the class or series of capital stock that would result in the highest Series Preferred Stock dividend. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends or make any other distribution on any shares of Series Preferred Stock until all dividends on any and all other classes or series of Preferred Stock ranking senior to the Series Preferred Stock shall have been paid or declared and set apart. The “Series B Original Issue Price” shall mean $1.00 per share, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock.

4. Optional Conversion. The holders of the Series Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

(a) Right to Convert.

(i) Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (A) the Series B Original Issue Price, by (B) the Series B Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The “Series B Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $1.00. After conversion of any share of Series B Preferred Stock, any Accruing Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon shall not be forfeited, but rather shall be paid in cash to the holder thereof upon the earlier to occur of any liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, a Deemed Liquidation Event or Qualified IPO (as defined in Section 5).

(ii) Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (A) the Series A Original Issue Price, by (B) the Series A Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The

 

-10-


Series A Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $1.00. After conversion of any share of Series A Preferred Stock, any Accruing Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon shall not be forfeited, but rather shall be paid in cash to the holder thereof upon the earlier to occur of any liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, a Deemed Liquidation Event or Qualified IPO (as defined in Section 5).

(iii) The Series B Conversion Price and Series A Conversion Price (each, a “Conversion Price”), and the rate at which shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock under this Certificate of Incorporation, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below.

(iv) In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or a Deemed Liquidation Event, the Conversion Rights of any share of Series Preferred Stock shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the earliest date fixed for the payment of any amount distributable on such event to the holders of any shares of Series Preferred Stock.

(b) Mechanics of Conversion.

(i) In order for a holder of Series Preferred Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Series Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Series Preferred Stock (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Series Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that such holder elects to convert all or any number of the shares of the Series Preferred Stock represented by such certificate or certificates and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent. Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) of such certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) and notice shall be the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares represented by such certificate shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series Preferred Stock, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled.

(ii) The Corporation shall at all times when the Series Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the

conversion of all outstanding Series Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of 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 Certificate of Incorporation. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing a Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the applicable Series Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.

(iii) All shares of Series Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefore and the right to receive payment of any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. Any shares of Series Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and shall not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation (without the need for stockholder action) may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series Preferred Stock accordingly.

(iv) Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made for any declared but unpaid dividends on the Series Preferred Stock surrendered for such conversion or on the Common Stock delivered upon such conversion.

(v) The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

(c) Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.

(i) Special Definitions. For purposes of this Section 4, the following definitions shall apply:

(A) “Option” shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock or Convertible Securities.

-13-


(ii) No Adjustment of Conversion Price. No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock if, prior to such issuance or deemed issuance, the Corporation receives written notice from the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the then-outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock agreeing that no such adjustment shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.

(iii) Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

(A) If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which, upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, would entitle the holder thereof to receive Exempted Securities) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefore, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.

(B) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to each applicable Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4(c)(iv) below, are revised (as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security)) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, each applicable Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this clause (B) shall have the effect of increasing each applicable Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of such Option or Convertible Security, or (ii) the applicable Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

 

-14-


(C) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which, upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, would entitle the holder thereof to receive Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to each applicable Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4(c)(iv) below (either because the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 4(c)(v) hereof) of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the applicable Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the Original Issue Date), are revised after the Original Issue Date (as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security)) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Section 4(c)(iii)(A) above) shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective. If the change in such Option or Convertible Security causes an adjustment pursuant to this provision and such Option or Convertible Security is then further changed as a result of the adjustments made pursuant to this provision, no further adjustment shall be made hereunder as a result of the further automatic change in such Option or Convertible Security.

(D) Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to each applicable Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4(c)(iv) below, each applicable Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Security (or portion thereof) never been issued.

(E) If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the applicable Conversion Price provided for in this Section 4(c)(iii) shall be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 4(c)(iii). If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to the applicable Conversion Price that would result under the terms of this Section 4(c)(iii) at the time of such issuance or amendment shall instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming for purposes of calculating such adjustment to the Series B Conversion Price that such issuance or amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.

 

-15-


(iv) Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Original Issue Date issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 4(c)(iii)), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue, then each applicable Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:

CP2 = CP1* (A + B) ÷ (A + C).

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

(A) “CP2” shall mean the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately after such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;

(B) “CP1” shall mean the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;

(C) “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding, in addition to the outstanding shares of Common Stock, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options outstanding immediately prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (including the Series Preferred Stock) outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding Options therefore) immediately prior to such issue);

(D) “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Shares of Common Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such issue by CP1); and

(E) “C” shall mean the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such transaction.

(v) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 4(c), the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

(A) Cash and Property: Such consideration shall:

 

  (I) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest;

 

  (II) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board; and

 

-16-


  (III) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (I) and (II) above, as determined in good faith by the Board.

(B) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 4(c)(iii), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing

 

  (I) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by

 

  (II) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(vi) Multiple Closing Dates. In the event the Corporation shall issue on more than one date Additional Shares of Common Stock that are a part of one transaction or a series of related transactions and that would result in an adjustment to each applicable Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4(c)(iv) above, and such issuance dates occur within a period of no more than 120 days from the first such issuance to the final such issuance, then, upon the final such issuance, each applicable Conversion Price shall be readjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on the date of the first such issuance (and without giving effect to any additional adjustments as a result of any such subsequent issuances within such period).

 

-17-


(d) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, each applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision or combination shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such Series Preferred Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, each applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination or subdivision shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such Series Preferred Stock shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this subsection shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(e) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event each applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution;

provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefore, each applicable Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter each such applicable Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and provided further, however, that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of each applicable Series Preferred Stock simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of each applicable Series Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation on the date of such event.

 

-18-


(f) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property and the provisions of Section 4(e) do not apply to such dividend or distribution, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of each applicable Series Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the kind and amount of securities of the Corporation that they would have been entitled to receive had all outstanding shares of each applicable Series Preferred Stock been optionally converted into Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation on the date of such event and had they, during the period from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this paragraph with respect to the rights of the holders of each applicable Series Preferred Stock; provided, however, that no such provision shall be made if the holders of each applicable Series Preferred Stock receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of each applicable Series Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation on the date of such event.

(g) Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 2(c), if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Series B Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Section 4(c), 4(d), (e) or (f)), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Series Preferred Stock not so converted or exchanged shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of such Series Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 4 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of such Series Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of such series’ Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the shares of such Series Preferred Stock.

(h) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of a Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than 10 days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of the applicable Series Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or

 

-19-


readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the shares of such Series Preferred Stock is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of shares of such Series Preferred Stock (but in any event not later than 10 days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth (i) such series’ Conversion Price then in effect, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the conversion of the shares of such Series Preferred Stock.

5. Mandatory Conversion.

(a) Upon either (i) the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public at a price of at least $5.00 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Common Stock), in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in at least $50,000,000 of proceeds to the Corporation, before deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions (a “Qualified IPO”) or (ii) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the then-outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Mandatory Conversion Date”), all outstanding shares of Series Preferred B Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective applicable Conversion Price, and such shares may not be reissued by the Corporation as shares of such series.

(b) Upon either (i) the closing of a Qualified IPO, (ii) the Series B Mandatory Conversion Date or (iii) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the Series A Mandatory Conversion Date”), all outstanding shares of Series Preferred A Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective applicable Conversion Price, and such shares may not be reissued by the Corporation as shares of such series.

(c) All holders of record of shares of Series Preferred Stock shall be given written notice of the Series B Mandatory Conversion Date or the Series A Mandatory Conversion Date, and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Series B Preferred Stock and/or Series A Preferred Stock (as applicable) pursuant to this Section 5. Such notice need not be given in advance of the occurrence of the Series B Mandatory Conversion Date or Series A Mandatory Conversion Date. Such notice shall be sent by first class or registered mail, postage prepaid, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the DGCL, to each record holder of Series Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and/or Series A Preferred Stock (as applicable) shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice, and shall thereafter receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 5. On the Series B Mandatory Conversion Date, or Series A Mandatory Conversion Date, as applicable, all outstanding shares of Series Preferred Stock (or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable) shall be deemed to have been converted into shares of

 

-20-


Common Stock, which shall be deemed to be outstanding of record, and all rights with respect to the Series Preferred Stock (or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable) so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate, except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefore, to receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Series Preferred Stock (or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable) has been converted, and payment of any declared but unpaid dividends thereon. If so required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. As soon as practicable after the Series B Mandatory Conversion Date, or Series A Mandatory Conversion Date, as applicable, and the surrender of the certificate or certificates for Series Preferred Stock (or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable), the Corporation shall cause to be issued and delivered to such holder, or on his, her or its written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(d) All certificates evidencing shares of Series Preferred Stock (or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable) which are required to be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof shall, from and after the Series B Mandatory Conversion Date, or the Series A Mandatory Conversion Date, as applicable, be deemed to have been retired and cancelled and the shares of Series Preferred Stock (or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable) represented thereby converted into Common Stock for all purposes, notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender such certificates on or prior to such date. Such converted Series Preferred Stock (or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable) may not be reissued as shares of such Series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series Preferred Stock (or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable) accordingly.

6. Redemption.

(a) In addition to the redemption of the Series Preferred Stock in accordance with the Deemed Liquidation provisions of Section 2(c)(iii), the holders of shares of Series Preferred Stock shall have the right to have all such shares redeemed by the Corporation out of funds lawfully available therefore and as further described in this Section 6, if the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and at least fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock so request in a writing delivered to the Corporation at any time after the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Original Issue Date (the “Redemption Request”).

(b) The price per share of Series Preferred Stock at which the Corporation shall redeem shares of Series Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6 (the “Redemption Price”) shall be the greater of (i) the applicable Series B Original Price or Series A Original Price per share, plus all Accruing Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, plus all declared but unpaid dividends thereon, and (ii) the Fair Market Value (as defined in and determined pursuant to Section 6(c)) of a single share of Series B Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, as

 

-21-


applicable, as of the date the Corporation receives the Redemption Request (the “Valuation Date”). The Fair Market Value shall be set forth in a writing delivered to the Corporation and the holders of Series Preferred Stock by the investment bank or valuation firm selected pursuant to Section 6(c) below.

(c) The “Fair Market Value” shall be, with respect to any share of Series B Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, the fair market value of such share of Series B Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock as of the Valuation Date, as determined by an investment bank or valuation firm selected by GPP – Connecture, LLC and approved by a majority of the members of the Corporation’s board of directors that were not designated by GPP – Connecture, LLC (the “Disinterested Directors”), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Such fair market value determination by the investment bank or valuation firm shall be based on the enterprise value of the Corporation on the Valuation Date, without taking into account any liquidity or minority discounts.

(d) If the Corporation does not have sufficient funds legally available to redeem on any Redemption Date all shares of Series Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, then the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and at least fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to cause the Corporation to pursue a sale of the Corporation.

(e) The Corporation shall, pursuant to this Section 6, redeem all shares of Series Preferred Stock held by the holders of Series Preferred Stock in two equal installments, the first of which shall occur within thirty (30) days after the Valuation Date (the date of such first installment shall be referred to herein as the “First Redemption Date”) and the second of which shall occur on the one year anniversary of the First Redemption Date (the date of such second installment shall be referred to herein as the “Second Redemption Date” and, together with the First Redemption Date, the “Redemption Date”). The Corporation shall send written notice of the redemption pursuant to this Section 6 (a “Redemption Notice”) to each holder or Series Preferred Stock not less than fifteen (15) days prior to each Redemption Date. Each Redemption Notice shall state:

(i) the number of shares of Series Preferred Stock held by the holders of Series Preferred Stock;

(ii) the applicable Redemption Date and the Redemption Price to be paid on such Redemption Date;

(iii) the date upon which the holder’s right to optionally convert such shares terminates (as determined in accordance with this Certificate of Incorporation); and

(iv) that the holder is to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, such holder’s certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series Preferred Stock to be redeemed.

(f) On or before the applicable Redemption Date, each holder of Series Preferred Stock, unless such holder has exercised such holder’s right to optionally convert such

 

-22-


shares as provided in this Certificate of Incorporation, shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof. In the event that less than all of the shares of Series Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares of Series Preferred Stock shall promptly be issued to such holder.

(g) If the Redemption Notice shall have been duly given and, if on the applicable Redemption Date, the Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the shares of Series Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefore in a timely manner, then, notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the shares of Series Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, dividends with respect to such shares of Series Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue after such Redemption Date and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest (other than the interest described in Section 6(b)) upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefore.

7. Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares. Any shares of Preferred Stock that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any voting or other rights granted to the holders of Preferred Stock following such redemption or acquisition.

8. Waiver. Any of the rights, powers, preferences or other terms of the holders of Series Preferred Stock set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all holders of the Series Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and at least fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

ARTICLE NINE

INDEMNIFICATION

A. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, investigation, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director of another corporation or as a director or manager of a limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such Proceeding is an alleged action in an official capacity as a director or manager or in any other capacity while serving as a director or manager, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto), against all cost, expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or manager and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section C below with respect to Proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

B. Right to Advancement of Expenses. Any person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section A above shall also be reimbursed by the Corporation for all expenses incurred in defending or preparing to defend any Proceeding for which such right to indemnification is applicable, in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “Advancement”); provided, however, that any such Advancement shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized by this Certificate of Incorporation or the DGCL.

C. Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. Any repeal or modification of this Article Nine shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or Proceeding then existing. If a claim under Section A or B above is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an Advancement, in which case the applicable period shall be thirty days, then the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. To the extent successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an Advancement pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, then the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (1) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification under Section A above (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an Advancement) it shall be a defense that, and (2) in any suit by the Corporation to recover an Advancement pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the Corporation shall be entitled to recover

such expenses upon a Final Adjudication that, the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board, its independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board, its independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such a suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to Advancement under this Article Nine, or by the Corporation to recover an Advancement pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such Advancement, under this Article Nine or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

D. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to Advancement conferred in this Article Nine shall not be exclusive of any other right that any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, this Certificate of Incorporation, any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

E. Witnesses. To the extent that any Indemnitee is a witness in any Proceeding, such Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee on his or her behalf in connection therewith.

F. Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under this Article Nine or the DGCL.

G. Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification and to Advancement to any officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or to any person serving at the request of the Corporation as an officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article Nine with respect to the indemnification and Advancement of directors of the Corporation.

ARTICLE TEN

CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES

A. Corporate Opportunities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, hereby renounces and waives any interest or expectancy of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, directly or indirectly, the following specified classes of business opportunities (the “Specified Opportunities”) that may become available to a Non-Employee Director (as defined below):

1. any business or corporate opportunity offered to or originated by a Non-Employee Director that is not expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director of the Corporation; and

2. any business or corporate opportunity that is offered to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries by any investment bank, broker, auction process or other similar means unless such opportunity is solely offered to the Corporation and not to any other person or entity.

 

-26-


B. Non-Employee Directors. To the fullest extent permitted by law, (1) the Corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, waives any claim that it may have that any Specified Opportunity constituted a corporate opportunity that should have been presented to the Corporation or any of its affiliates by a Non-Employee Director even if such Specified Opportunity relates to the current or anticipated business of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, (2) a Non-Employee Director shall have no fiduciary duty to offer any Specified Opportunity to the Corporation, any of its subsidiaries or otherwise and (3) a Non-Employee Director may in an individual capacity, or on behalf of another person or entity, pursue, refer, or take advantage of, any Specified Opportunity. For purposes of this Article Ten, a “Non-Employee Director” means a director of the Corporation that is not then an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.

C. Effect of Repeal or Modification. Neither the repeal nor modification of this Article Ten nor the adoption of any other amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article Ten shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article Ten in respect of any business opportunity first identified or any other matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article Ten, would accrue or arise, prior to such repeal, modification or adoption. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article Ten.
