Section 5. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset Sales.

 

a) Preferential Payments to Holders of Series A Preferred Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (a “Liquidation”) or Deemed Liquidation Event, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, and on a pari passu basis with holders of any Parity Stock, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Value, plus any dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 6 immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event (the amount payable pursuant to this sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “Series A Liquidation Amount”). If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this subparagraph a) and to pay the holders of any Parity Stock the full amount to which they are entitled pursuant to the terms of such Parity Stock, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

 

b) Payments to Holders of Common Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, after the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder.

 

c) Deemed Liquidation Events. A “Deemed Liquidation Event” shall mean (i) a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is a constituent party or a subsidiary of the Corporation is a constituent party and the Corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, provided, however, a Deemed Liquidation Event shall not include any such merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation; or (2) if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation; or (ii) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or the sale or disposition (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation.

 

d) Effecting a Deemed Liquidation Event. The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Section 6. Conversion.

 

a) Conversions at Option of Holder. Subject to Section 6(g), each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time, at the option of the Holder thereof, into that number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation set forth in Section 6(e) and any Primary Market Limitation set forth in Section 6(f)) determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Series A Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”) and by surrendering such Holder’s certificate or certificates for all such shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted (or, if such 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 at the place designated in such notice. (For purposes hereof, the date upon which both the Notice of Conversion is received and the certificate is surrendered (or a lost certificate affidavit and an indemnity agreement in a form acceptable to the Corporation is received) is hereafter referred to as the “Optional Conversion Date.”) Within three (3) Trading Days after the Optional Conversion Date, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such Holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the further provisions hereof. If a certificate has not been converted in full, the Corporation shall within three (3) Trading Days after the Share Delivery Date issue to Holder a new certificate representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock underlying the certificate that was surrendered which were not converted. To the extent that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained in Section 6(e) applies to the converting Holder, the determination of whether the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of how many shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the shares of Series A 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 A Preferred Stock are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this Section and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.

b) Mandatory Conversion. On the earlier to occur of: (i) the time of conversion set forth in a Corporation Conversion Notice that is delivered by the Corporation to the Holders in connection with a Fundamental Transaction, and (ii) the 24-month anniversary of the Issuance Date (the “Mandatory Conversion Date” and together with an Optional Conversion Date, the “Conversion Date”), each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert (subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation set forth in Section 6(e) and any Primary Market Limitation set forth in Section 6(f)) into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Stated Value by the Conversion Price in effect on the Mandatory Conversion Date (a “Mandatory Conversion”). Any Corporation Conversion Notice shall be delivered at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction to which it relates. Within three (3) Trading Days of (x) the Mandatory Conversion Date, if the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are held in book entry form, or (y) such Holder’s surrender of its certificated Series A Preferred Stock, if the Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock is certificated (or, if such 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), the Company shall deliver: (I) to each Holder, the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock, and (II) the PIK Shares, if any, issuable upon Mandatory Conversion under Section 3, to Holders as of the Mandatory Conversion Date; provided that, any failure by the Holder to return certificated Series A Preferred Stock, if any, will have no effect on the Mandatory Conversion pursuant to this Section 6(b), which Mandatory Conversion will be deemed to occur on the Mandatory Conversion Date. To the extent that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained in Section 6(e) applies to any Holder, such Holder shall no less than five Business Days, and no more than ten Business Days, prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date, provide the Company with a written determination (a “Mandatory Conversion Determination”), delivered in accordance with Section 8, of whether such Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of how many shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible, and the submission of a Mandatory Conversion Determination shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of the maximum number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that may be converted, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The portion of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Mandatory Conversion hereunder that would cause such Holder to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or any Primary Market Limitation shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of such Holder until such time, if ever, as such Holder’s beneficial ownership thereof would not result in such Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or until such time, if ever, as the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the applicable Trading Market for issuances of Common Stock in excess of any Primary Market Limitation, as applicable. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Mandatory Conversion Determination that such determination has not violated the restrictions set forth in Section 6(e) and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.

 

c) Conversion Price. The conversion price for any Series A Preferred Stock shall be $1.394, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”).

d) Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(i) Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (but, in the case of a Mandatory Conversion pursuant to a Corporation Conversion Notice, no later than immediately prior to the time of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction) (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder (A) Conversion Shares which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (assuming for such purposes that the holding period requirement under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act has been satisfied), and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends payable in cash, if any. The Corporation shall, at the request of the converting Holder, deliver the Conversion Shares required to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section 6 electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. The Series A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemed for cash and under no circumstances shall the Corporation be required to net cash settle the Series A Preferred Stock, or to pay any liquidated damages on account of any failure to satisfy any of its obligations under this Certificate of Designation.

 

(ii) Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion or Corporation Conversion Notice, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to the Holder any original Series A Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.

 

(iii) Obligation Absolute. The Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series A 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; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Corporation of any such action that the Corporation may have against such Holder. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of the Stated Value of its Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone 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 Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Series A Preferred Stock of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained, and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Stated Value of Series A Preferred Stock which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until 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. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares and, if applicable, cash (for accrued and declared and unpaid dividends only), upon a properly noticed conversion.

(iv) Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times, from and after the date that its shareholders have approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to at least 200 million shares (the “Authorized Share Increase”), 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 A Preferred Stock as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Series A Preferred Stock), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. 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 and, if the Conversion Shares Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public resale in accordance with such Conversion Shares Registration Statement.

 

(v) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of or as dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which a Holder would otherwise be entitled to upon such conversion or in respect of any such dividend, 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 round up to the next whole share of Common Stock.

 

(vi) Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Series A 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 Conversion 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 Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion 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 same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.

e) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, a Mandatory Conversion, and a Holder shall not have the right to receive dividends hereunder or convert any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the receipt of dividends hereunder or conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the 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 received as dividends or issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Series A Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, the Series A Preferred Stock) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Corporation is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith (other than as it relates to a Holder relying on the number of shares issued and outstanding as provided by the Corporation pursuant to this Section). In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 6(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request (which may be via email) of a Holder, the Corporation shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, at the written election of any Holder delivered to the Corporation pursuant to the terms of Section 9 prior to the issuance of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder. A Holder, upon at least sixty-one (61) days advance notice to the Corporation, may terminate, increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 6(e); provided, however, that the Holder shall not be entitled to increase or terminate the limitation contained in this Section 6(e) if the Holder has acquired (or if any of the Holder’s Attribution parties has indirectly acquired) the Series A Preferred Stock with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Corporation. The limitations contained in this Section 6(e) shall apply to a successor holder of Series A Preferred Stock.

f) Primary Market Limitation. Unless the approval of the Corporation’s stockholders is not required by the applicable rules of the applicable Trading Market for issuances of Common Stock in excess of the Primary Market Limitation (as defined below), or the Corporation has obtained such approval, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, a Mandatory Conversion, and a Holder shall not have the right to receive dividends hereunder or convert any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the receipt of dividends hereunder or conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion or Corporation Conversion Notice, the Holder would have received in respect of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock in excess of its pro rata share of the Primary Market Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the Holder’s pro rata share of the Primary Market Limitation shall be equal to (i) the original purchase price paid to the Corporation for all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock acquired by the Holder (and not subsequently disposed of, other than pursuant to a conversion hereunder), divided by (ii) the aggregate original purchase price paid to the Corporation for all the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and all other securities aggregated with the Series A Preferred Stock for the purposes of the applicable rules of the applicable Trading Market. The “Primary Market Limitation” shall be 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately before the first sale of Series A Preferred Stock (or the first sale of any other securities aggregated with the Series A Preferred Stock for the purposes of the applicable rules of the applicable Trading Market, if earlier). The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Holder be permitted to deliver to the Company a Notice of Conversion, nor shall the Corporation otherwise be required to issue to a Holder any shares of Common Stock in respect of the conversion of any of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock, until the latest of (i) the six-month anniversary of the Issuance Date in respect of the applicable Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) the effective date of the Authorized Share Increase and (iii) the date that the Conversion Shares Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission (the day after such latest date, the “Initial Permitted Conversion Date”). Any Notice of Conversion delivered by a Holder in respect of its Series A Preferred Stock prior to the Initial Permitted Conversion Date shall be null and void ab initio.

 

Section 7. Certain Adjustments.

 

a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while this Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, this Series A Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, 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. 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, combination or re-classification.

 

b) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, if the Corporation declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Series A Preferred Stock, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Series A Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or any Primary Market Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or any Primary Market Limitation).

c) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding and other than in connection with a Liquidation, including a Deemed Liquidation Event, (i) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person, (ii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iii) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Series A Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Corporation, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Series A Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of 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 Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Series A 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 Corporation shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Corporation is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(g) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Series A Preferred Stock, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Series A Preferred Stock a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Series A Preferred Stock which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Series A Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Series A Preferred Stock) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Corporation” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Corporation and shall assume all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Corporation herein.

 

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.
