Section 6. Conversion.

 

(a) Automatic and Optional Conversions. The shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock as follows:

 

(i) Automatic Conversion on Stockholder Approval. Effective as of 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the fourth Business Day after the date on which the Corporation’s stockholders approve the conversion of the Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (or any other Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then traded), as set forth in the Section 6.6 of the Merger Agreement (the “Stockholder Approval”), each share of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding shall automatically convert into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to such whole number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Stated Value by the Series C-1 Conversion Price (determined as hereinafter provided) in effect at the time of conversion and then multiplying such quotient by the number of shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted, subject to the beneficial ownership limitation set forth in Section 6(c) (the “Automatic Conversion”). In determining the application of the beneficial ownership limitation set forth in Section 6(c) solely with respect to the Automatic Conversion, the Corporation shall calculate beneficial ownership for each Holder assuming beneficial ownership of: (x) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to such Holder in such Automatic Conversion, plus (y) any additional shares of Common Stock for which a Holder has provided the Corporation with prior written notice of beneficial ownership within 45 days prior to the date of Stockholder Approval (a “Beneficial Ownership Statement”). If a Holder fails to provide the Corporation with a Beneficial Ownership Statement within 45 days prior to the date of Stockholder Approval, then the Corporation shall presume the Holder’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock (apart from the Initial Conversion Shares) to be zero. The shares of Common Stock issued upon the Automatic Conversion are referred to as the “Initial Conversion Shares” and shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock that are converted in the Automatic Conversion are referred to as the “Converted Stock”. The Initial Conversion Shares shall be issued as follows:

 

(1) Converted Stock that is registered in book entry form shall be automatically cancelled upon the Automatic Conversion and converted into the corresponding Initial Conversion Shares, which shares shall be issued in book entry form and without any action on the part of the Holders.

 

5
 

 

(2) Converted Stock that is issued in certificated form shall be deemed converted into the corresponding Initial Conversion Shares on the date of Automatic Conversion and the Holder’s rights as a holder of such shares of Converted Stock shall cease and terminate on such date, excepting only the right to receive the Initial Conversion Shares upon the Holder tendering to the Corporation (or its designated agent) the stock certificate(s) (duly endorsed) representing such certificated Converted Stock.

 

(3) Notwithstanding the cancellation of the Converted Stock upon the Automatic Conversion, Holders of Converted Stock shall continue to have any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies for the Corporation’s failure to convert the Converted Stock.

 

(ii) Optional Conversion Following Stockholder Approval.

 

(1) Subject to Section 6(a)(i) and Section 6(c), at any time and from time to time as of 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the fourth Business Day after Stockholder Approval is obtained, each Holder may, at its option, effect conversions (other than the Automatic Conversion of shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock) into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to such whole number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Stated Value by the Series C-1 Conversion Price (determined as hereinafter provided) in effect at the time of conversion and then multiplying such quotient by the number of shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted, subject to the beneficial ownership limitation set forth in Section 6(c) (each, an “Optional Conversion”) by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”), duly completed and executed. Provided the Corporation’s transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Notice of Conversion may specify, at the Holder’s election, whether the applicable Conversion Shares shall be credited to the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its DWAC system (a “DWAC Delivery”).

 

(2) The date on which an Optional Conversion shall be deemed effective (the “Conversion Date”) shall be the Trading Day that the Notice of Conversion, completed and executed, is sent via email to, and received during regular business hours by, the Corporation; provided, that the original certificate(s) (if any) representing such shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock being converted, duly endorsed, and the accompanying Notice of Conversion, are received by the Corporation within one (1) Trading Day thereafter. In all other cases, the Conversion Date shall be defined as the Trading Day on which the original certificate(s) (if any) representing such shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock being converted, duly endorsed, and the accompanying Notice of Conversion, are received by the Corporation. The calculations set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error.

 

(b) Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” for each share of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock shall be $1.02913.

 

6
 

 

(c) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Certificate of Designation and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, such Holder together with such Holder’s Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and such Holder’s Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder and such Holder’s Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock subject to the Notice of Conversion or the Automatic Conversion (as applicable) with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of such Holder’s Attribution Parties, and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or such Holder’s Attribution Parties subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. For purposes of this Section 6(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock a Holder may acquire upon the conversion of such Holder’s Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Corporation’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation, or (C) any other written notice by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (any of the foregoing, as applicable, the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to any actual conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, by such Holder or such Holder’s Attribution Parties since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. If the issuance of Common Stock to a Holder upon conversion of such Holder’s Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock results in such Holder and the such Holder’s Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares of Common Stock so issued by which such Holder’s and such Holder’s Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and such Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Corporation, a Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder and such Holder’s Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock that is not an Attribution Party of such Holder. No prior inability to convert all or a portion of such Holder’s Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6(c) shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 6(c) with respect to any subsequent determination of conversion. The provisions of this Section 6(c) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6(c) to the extent necessary to correct this Section 6(c) or any portion of this Section 6(c) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 6(c) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 6(c) may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of such Holder’s Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation shall be entitled to rely on the representations and the other information set forth in any Notice of Conversion and shall not be required to independently verify whether any conversion of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock would cause a Holder (together with such Holder’s Attribution Parties) to collectively beneficially own in excess of the Maximum Percentage of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such conversion or otherwise trigger the provisions of this Section 6(c).

 

7
 

 

(d) Mechanics of Conversion

 

(i) Delivery of Certificate or Electronic Issuance Upon Conversion. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after the applicable Conversion Date, or if the Holder requests the issuance of physical certificate(s), three (3) Trading Days after receipt by the Corporation of the original certificate(s) representing such shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock being converted, duly endorsed, and the accompanying Notice of Conversion (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall either (a) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder a physical certificate or certificates representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, or (b) in the case of a DWAC Delivery (if so requested by the Holder), electronically transfer such Conversion Shares by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its DWAC system. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates for the Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed by or, in the case of a DWAC Delivery, such shares are not electronically delivered to or as directed by, the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the applicable Holder shall be entitled to elect to rescind such Notice of Conversion by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates for Conversion Shares or electronic receipt of such shares, as applicable, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to such Holder any original Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and such Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation any Common Stock certificates or otherwise direct the return of any shares of Common Stock delivered to the Holder through the DWAC system, representing the shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock unsuccessfully tendered for conversion to the Corporation.

 

(ii) Obligation Absolute. Subject to Section 6(c) and Section 6(d)(iv) hereof and subject to Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) above, the Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares. Subject to Section 6(c) and Section 6(d)(iv) hereof and subject to Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) above, if a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of its Series C-1 Convertible 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 C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained by the Corporation. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall, subject to Section 6(c) and Section 6(d)(iv) hereof and subject to Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) above, issue Conversion Shares upon a properly noticed conversion.

 

(iii) Reserved.

 

(iv) Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that at all times after the Stockholder Approval, it will reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of outstanding shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders of the Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments of Section 7) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series C-1 Convertible 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 non-assessable.

 

(v) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be determined by rounding to the nearest whole share (a half share being treated as a full share for this purpose). Such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and such rounding shall apply to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

 

(vi) Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, 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 certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the registered Holder(s) of such shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates 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.

 

(e) Status as Stockholder. Upon each Conversion Date, (i) the shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock being converted shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a holder of such converted shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies for the Corporation’s failure to convert Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. In no event shall the Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock convert into shares of Common Stock prior to the Stockholder Approval.

 

Section 7. Certain Adjustments.

 

(a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while this Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of this Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock) with respect to the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (C) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Conversion Ratio 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 after such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation). Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.

(b) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while any Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, (A) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person, (B) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) 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 the Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and such offer has been accepted by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock, (D) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more 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 (E) 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 or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 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 C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, the Holders shall have the right to receive, in lieu of the right to receive Conversion Shares, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of common stock or other equity securities of the successor or acquiring corporation of the Corporation, if it is the surviving corporation, and any other or 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 C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock is then convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any beneficial ownership limitation set forth in Section 6(c) above, which shall cease to be applicable at the time of and following the Fundamental Transaction). For purposes of any such subsequent 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 Holders shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration they receive upon any conversion of this Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Alternate Consideration consist solely of cash (a “Fundamental Cash Transaction”), the Holders shall exercise their conversion rights under this Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Cash Transaction. If Holders do not so convert this Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, this Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically convert pursuant to Section 6(a) above, without any action by Holders and without regard to the beneficial ownership limitation set forth in Section 6(c) above immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Cash Transaction. The Corporation shall provide the Holders with written notice of the Fundamental Cash Transaction (together with such reasonable information as the Holders may request in connection with such contemplated transaction giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to the Holders not less than 10 days prior to the closing of the Fundamental Cash Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new certificate of designation with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 7(b) and insuring that this Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
