Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on February 14, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Original Agreement”) with an investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Investor purchased 500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $2.0 million. On March 27, 2024, the Company and the Investor entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the parties amended and restated the Original Agreement and the Investor agreed to purchase 600 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $6.0 million.
The shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be convertible into a total of 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of the holder. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be subject to a call right providing the Company the right to call the stock if the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the 20 days prior to delivery of the call notice is greater than $5.00 per share and there is an effective resale registration statement on file covering the underlying common stock. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be non-voting, will have no mandatory redemption, and will carry an annual 5% cumulative dividend, increasing by 2% each year, but which in no event shall exceed 15% per annum. The Company also agreed that so long as the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company will not, without the written consent of the holders of 50.1% of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, amend, alter, or repeal any provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws in a manner adverse to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock.
The Series A-1 Preferred Stock is being sold in a transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Investor is an entity associated with Dr. Manmohan Patel, an existing investor in the Company and beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company’s common stock.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On March 28, 2024, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation of Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the “Series A-1 Certificate of Designation”) with the Delaware Secretary of State, creating the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and establishing the rights, preferences and other terms of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and issued the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. A summary of the material terms of the Series A-1 Certificate of Designation is set forth below.

| Ranking, with respect to rights as to as to dividends, distributions, redemptions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company | The Series A-1 Preferred Stock ranks pari passu to the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and senior to all the Company’s Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights on the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up. | |
| Original Issue Price | $10,000 per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. | |
| Dividend | Holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends accruing daily on a cumulative basis payable at a fixed rate of 5% per annum per share on the Original Issue Price, which rate will automatically increase by 2% every year that the Series A-1 Preferred Stock remains outstanding but in no event shall exceed 15% per annum. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock will also participate on an as-converted basis in any regular or special dividends paid to holders of the Common Stock. | |
| Redemption | The Series A-1 Preferred Stock is subject the Company’s right to call the Series A-1 Preferred Stock for $10,000.00 per share plus any Accruing Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon if the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the twenty days prior to delivery of the Call Notice is greater than $5.00 per share and there is an effective resale registration statement on file covering the underlying Common Stock. | |
Conversion Rights

The holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock may elect to convert the Series A-1 Preferred Stock into shares of the Common Stock, at the applicable conversion rate (subject to certain adjustments), at any time, which right is subject to termination upon a Deemed Liquidation Event or a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. |
| 2 |
| Consent Rights | As long as the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company will not, without the written consent of the holders of 50.1% of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, amend, alter, or repeal any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws in a manner adverse to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. | |
| Voting | The holders of outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights with respect to such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock on any matter presented to the Company’s stockholders, except as required by law or as specifically set forth in the Certificate of Designation. | |

| No Maturity and No Sinking Fund | The Series A-1 Preferred Stock will have no stated maturity and will not be subject to any sinking fund. |

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
OF
SERIES A-1
PREFERRED STOCK,
PAR VALUE $0.0001 PER SHARE,
OF
TEVOGEN BIO HOLDINGS INC.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the DGCL (hereinafter called the “Corporation”), in accordance with the provisions of Section 103, does hereby submit the following:
WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Certificate”) authorizes the issuance of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Corporation (“Preferred Stock”) in one or more series; and expressly authorizes the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”), subject to limitations prescribed by the requirements of law to provide, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, for series of Preferred Stock, and with respect to each such series, to establish and fix the number of shares to be included in any series of Preferred Stock and the designations, rights and preferences of the shares of such series; and
WHEREAS, the Corporation hereby certifies that the following resolution was adopted by the pricing committee of the Board of Directors, acting in accordance with resolutions of the Board of Directors, by action duly taken on March 27, 2024:
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the DGCL and the Bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”), the Board hereby creates as a series of Preferred Stock and authorizes 600 shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation to be designated “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”, each with the following rights, preferences, powers, privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations:
1. Number of Shares.
The number of authorized shares of Series A-1 Preferred stock shall be 600. Subject to the provisions of Section 4, that number from time to time may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding) by (a) further resolution duly adopted by the Board, or any duly authorized committee thereof, and (b) the filing of an amendment to this Certificate of Designation (“Certificate of Designation”) pursuant to the provisions of the DGCL stating that such increase or decrease, as applicable, has been so authorized.
2. Dividends.
From and after the date of the issuance of any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, dividends at the rate per annum of 5% of the Original Issue Price (as defined below) of such share, plus the amount of previously accrued dividends, compounded annually, shall accrue on each share then outstanding (the “Accruing Dividends”). The rate per annum of the Accruing Dividends shall increase by 2% of the Original Issue Price each year on the date of issuance of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, but in no event shall exceed 15% per annum. Accruing Dividends shall accrue from day to day, whether or not declared, and shall be cumulative. The Corporation shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation (other than dividends on shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or dividends on Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock) unless (in addition to the obtaining of any consents required elsewhere in the Certificate of Incorporation) the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock in an amount at least equal to (i) the amount of the aggregate Accruing Dividends then accrued on such share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and not previously paid and (ii) (A) 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 A-1 Preferred Stock as would equal the product of (1) the dividend payable on each share of such class or series determined, if applicable, as if all shares of such class or series had been converted into Common Stock and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, in each case calculated on the record date for determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend or (B) 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 A-1 Preferred Stock determined by (1) 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 (2) multiplying such fraction by an amount equal to the applicable Original Issue Price (as defined below); 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 A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 2 shall be calculated based upon the dividend on the class or series of capital stock that would result in the highest dividend for Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The “Original Issue Price” shall mean, with respect to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, $10,000.00 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 A-1 Preferred Stock.
3. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset Sales.
3.1 Preferential Payments to Holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. In the event of (a) any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, and (b) a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in Section 3.3.1 below), the holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the consideration payable to stockholders in such Deemed Liquidation Event or out of the Available Proceeds (as defined in Section 3.3.2(b) below), as applicable, in each case on a pari passu basis with the Series A Preferred Stock based on their respective Liquidation Amounts (as defined below), but before any payment on the Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, each of which rank junior to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock in all respects, and before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Original Issue Price, plus any Accruing Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, whether or not declared, together with any other dividends declared but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, respectively, been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 5 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 “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-1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Section 3.1, the holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, respectively, 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.
3.2 Payments to Holders of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Common Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after the payment in full of all Liquidation Amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders or, in the case of a Deemed Liquidation Event, the consideration not payable to the holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 3.1 or the remaining Available Proceeds, as the case may be, shall be distributed first, among the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock on a pari passu basis based on their Liquidation Amounts, and second, among the holders of shares of Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each such holder.
3.3 Deemed Liquidation Events.
3.3.1 Definition. Each of the following events shall be considered a “Deemed Liquidation Event” unless the holders of at least 50.1% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting on an as converted to Common Stock basis (the “Requisite Holders”), elect otherwise by written notice sent to the Corporation at least 10 days prior to the effective date of any such event:
(a) a merger, consolidation, statutory conversion, transfer, domestication, or continuance in which
| (i) | the Corporation is a constituent party or |
| (ii) | a subsidiary of the Corporation is a constituent party and the Corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger, consolidation, statutory conversion, transfer, domestication, or continuance, |
except any such merger, consolidation, statutory conversion, transfer, domestication, or continuance involving the Corporation or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, statutory conversion, transfer, domestication, or continuance continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock or other equity interests that represent, immediately following such merger, consolidation, statutory conversion, transfer, domestication, or continuance, a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock or other equity interests of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation or entity; or (2) if the surviving or resulting corporation or entity is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation or entity immediately following such merger, consolidation, statutory conversion, transfer, domestication, or continuance, the parent corporation or entity of such surviving or resulting corporation or entity; or
(b) (i) 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 (ii) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition (whether by merger, consolidation, statutory conversion, domestication, continuance or otherwise, and whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) 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.
3.3.2 Effecting a Deemed Liquidation Event.
(a) The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event referred to in Section 3.3.(a)(i) unless the agreement or plan with respect to such transaction, or terms of such transaction (any such agreement, plan or terms, the “Transaction Document”) provide that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation in such Deemed Liquidation Event shall be allocated to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Sections 3.1 and 3.2.
(b) In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event referred to in Section 3.3.1(a)(ii) or 3.3.1(b), if the Corporation does not effect a dissolution of the Corporation under the General Corporation Law within 90 days after such Deemed Liquidation Event, then (i) the Corporation shall send a written notice to each holder of Series A-1 Preferred Stock no later than the 90th day after the Deemed Liquidation Event advising such holders of their right (and the requirements to be met to secure such right) pursuant to the terms of the following clause, (ii) to require the redemption of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and (iii) if the Requisite Holders so request in a written instrument delivered to the Corporation not later than 120 days after such Deemed Liquidation Event, the Corporation shall use the consideration received by the Corporation for such Deemed Liquidation Event (net of any retained liabilities associated with the assets sold or technology licensed, any other expenses reasonably related to such Deemed Liquidation Event or any other expenses incident to the dissolution of the Corporation as provided herein, in each case as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors), together with any other assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, all to the extent permitted by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders (the “Available Proceeds”) on the 150th day after such Deemed Liquidation Event (the “DLE Redemption Date”), to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the applicable Liquidation Amount; provided, that if the definitive agreements governing such Deemed Liquidation Event contain contingent indemnification obligations on the part of the Corporation and prohibit the Corporation from distributing all or a portion of the Available Proceeds while such indemnification obligations remain outstanding, then the DLE Redemption Date shall automatically be extended to the date that is ten business days following the date on which such prohibition expires. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a redemption pursuant to the preceding sentence, if the Available Proceeds are not sufficient to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to the fullest extent of such Available Proceeds, based on the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares to be redeemed if the Available Proceeds were sufficient to redeem all such shares, and shall redeem the remaining shares as soon as it may lawfully do so under Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders. Prior to the distribution or redemption provided for in this Section 3.3.2(b), the Corporation shall not expend or dissipate the Available Proceeds for any purpose, except to discharge expenses incurred in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event. In connection with a distribution or redemption provided for in Section 3.3.2, the Corporation shall send written notice of the redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) to each holder of record of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. Each Redemption Notice shall state:
| (i) | the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock held by the holder that the Corporation shall redeem on the date specified in the Redemption Notice; |
| (ii) | the redemption date and the price per share at which the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are being redeemed; |
| (iii) | for holders of shares in certificated form, that the holder is to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, his, her or its certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to be redeemed. |
If the Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, and if payment is tendered or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor in a timely manner, then notwithstanding that any certificates evidencing any of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the payment without interest upon surrender of any such certificate or certificates therefor.
3.3.3 Amount Deemed Paid or Distributed. The amount deemed paid or distributed to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation upon any such merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, exclusive license, other disposition or redemption shall be the cash or the value of the property, rights or securities to be paid or distributed to such holders pursuant to such Deemed Liquidation Event. The value of such property, rights or securities shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
3.3.4 Allocation of Escrow and Contingent Consideration. In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event pursuant to Section 3.3.1(a)(i), if any portion of the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation is payable only upon satisfaction of contingencies (the “Additional Consideration”), the Transaction Document shall provide that (a) the portion of such consideration that is not Additional Consideration (such portion, the “Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Sections 3.1 and 3.2 as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event; and (b) any Additional Consideration which becomes payable to the stockholders of the Corporation upon satisfaction of such contingencies shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Sections 3.1 and 3.2 after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction. For the purposes of this Section 3.3.4, consideration placed into escrow or retained as a holdback to be available for satisfaction of indemnification or similar obligations in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event shall be deemed to be Additional Consideration.
4. Voting.
4.1 General. The holders of outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights with respect to such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock on any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting), except as required by law or as specifically set forth in this Certificate of Designation. For any matter which the holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are required by law or entitled pursuant to this Certificate of Designation to vote, each holder of outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible (as provided in Section 5 below) as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class and on an as-converted to Common Stock basis on matters on which they are required by law or entitled pursuant to this Certificate of Designation to vote.
4.2 Series A-1 Preferred Stock Protective Provisions. At any time when shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation, domestication, transfer, continuance, recapitalization, reclassification, waiver, statutory conversion or otherwise, effect any of the following acts or transactions without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation) the written consent or affirmative vote of the Requisite Holders, and any such act or transaction that has not been approved by such consent or vote prior to such act or transaction being effected shall be null and void ab initio, and of no force or effect.
4.2.1 amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Corporation in a manner that adversely affects the special rights, powers and preferences of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock.
5. Optional Conversion.
The holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):
5.1 Right to Convert.
5.1.1 Conversion Ratio. Each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such whole number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (calculated as provided in Section 5.2 below), as is determined by dividing the applicable Original Issue Price by the Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The “Conversion Price” applicable to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock as of the Original Issue Date shall be equal to $10.00. Such initial Conversion Price and the rate at which shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 5.
5.1.2 Termination of Conversion Rights. In the event of a notice of redemption of any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 3.3.2(b), the Conversion Rights of the shares designated for redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for redemption, unless the redemption price is not fully paid on such redemption date, in which case the Conversion Rights for such shares shall continue until such price is paid in full. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or a Deemed Liquidation Event, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock; provided that the foregoing termination of Conversion Rights shall not affect the amount(s) otherwise paid or payable in accordance with Section 3.1 to the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or a Deemed Liquidation Event.
5.2 Number of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a holder of Series A-1 Preferred Stock upon conversion of such Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be the nearest whole share, after aggregating all fractional interests in shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of all shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock being converted by such holder (with any fractional interests after such aggregation representing 0.5 or greater of a whole share being entitled to a whole share) .. For the avoidance of doubt, no fractional interests in shares of Common Stock shall be created or issuable as a result of the conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5.1.1.
5.3 Mechanics of Conversion.
5.3.1 Notice of Conversion. In order for a holder of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to voluntarily convert such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall (a) provide written notice to the Corporation at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent that such holder elects to convert all or any number of such holder’s shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent and (b) if such holder’s shares are certificated, surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Series A-1 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 principal office of the Corporation. Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, any 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. Unless a later time and date is otherwise specified by the Corporation, the close of business on the date of receipt by the Corporation of such notice and, if applicable, certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) shall be the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the specified shares shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time (i) issue and deliver to such holder of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, or to such holder’s nominees, a notice of issuance of uncertificated shares and may, upon written request, issue and deliver a certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and, may, if applicable and upon written request, issue and deliver a certificate for the number (if any) of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock represented by any surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Stock, and (ii) pay all declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock converted.
5.3.2 Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times when the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A-1 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 A-1 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 A-1 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 the Certificate of Incorporation. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such series of Series A-1 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 non assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.
5.3.3 Effect of Conversion. All shares of Series A-1 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 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 therefor and to receive payment of any Accruing Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, whether or not declared, together with any other dividends declared but unpaid thereon.
5.3.4 No Further Adjustment. Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made for any declared but unpaid dividends on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion.
5.3.5 Taxes. 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 A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5. 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 A-1 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.
5.4 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, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series 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, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this Section 5.4 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
5.5 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 the 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 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) 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 therefor, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 5.5 as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (b) no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Series A-1 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 Series A-1 Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.
5.6 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 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 2 do not apply to such dividend or distribution, then and in each such event the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall 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 Series A-1 Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.
5.7 Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3, if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Series A-1 Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Sections 5.5 or 5.6), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock 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 Series A-1 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 of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 5 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 5 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the 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 Series A-1 Preferred Stock.
5.8 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 5, 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 such series of Series A-1 Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which such series of Series A-1 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 Series A-1 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) the 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 each share of each series of Series A-1 Preferred Stock.
5.9 Notice of Record Date. In the event:
(a) the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or series or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or
(b) of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation Event; or
(c) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation,
then, and in each such case, the Corporation will send or cause to be sent to the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. Such notice shall be sent at least 10 days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.
6. Call Right.

6.2 Notice of Call. To exercise the Call Right, the Corporation shall send written notice (the “Call Notice”) to the applicable holder of record of Series A-1 Preferred Stock not less than 15 days prior to the proposed effective date for exercise of such Call Right (the “Call Date”), provided that the Call Notice cannot be delivered unless:
(a) the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock for the 20 trading days prior to delivery of the Call Notice is greater than $5.00 per share (subject to adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events); and
(b) there at the time of such delivery there is an effective registration statement registering the resale by each holder of record of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock of the shares of Common Stock into which the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is convertible.

6.3 Call Notice Information. Each Call Notice shall state:
(a) the price per share of each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock subject to the Call Right then being exercised by the Corporation, which shall be equal to $10,000.00, plus any Accruing Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, whether or not declared, together with any other dividends declared but unpaid thereon as of (the “Call Price”);

In the event less than all of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the unredeemed shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall promptly be issued to such holder.
