(e) Redemption.
(i) Optional Redemption Generally.
(A) Subject to the restrictions described herein and unless prohibited by Nevada law governing distributions to stockholders of a corporation, each holder of shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock is entitled to redeem any portion of the outstanding Series E-1 Preferred Stock held by such holder (a “Holder Optional Redemption”). At the option of the Board, in its sole discretion and taking into account the Corporation’s reserves and other considerations as the Board may determine, a Holder Optional Redemption may be redeemed in either cash or Common Stock; provided that (1) if required by Rule 5635(d) of The Nasdaq Stock Market, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable to holders of Series E-1 Preferred Stock for dividends and redemption shall not exceed 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Redemption Share Cap”) without the approval of the Corporation’s shareholders, and (2) no Holder Optional Redemption with respect to any share of Series E-1 Preferred Stock may be redeemed for Common Stock prior to the first anniversary of the Issuance Date.
(B) If the Corporation settles a Holder Optional Redemption in cash, it shall do so by paying the holder the Settlement Amount (as defined below). If the Corporation settles a Holder Optional Redemption with Common Stock, it shall do so by delivering to the holder a number of shares of Common Stock at a rate equal to (1) the Settlement Amount divided by (2) the closing price of shares of Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or other national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, on the last trading day prior to the Holder Redemption Exercise Date (as defined below). If the Corporation opts to deliver shares of Common Stock in settlement of a redemption, and on the Holder Redemption Exercise Date (defined below) Nevada law governing distributions to stockholders of a corporation or the terms hereof prevents the Corporation from redeeming all outstanding shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock to be redeemed, the Corporation shall ratably redeem the maximum number of shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock that it may redeem with Common Stock consistent with such law and the provisions hereof, and shall redeem the remaining shares in cash or in Common Stock as soon as it may lawfully do so under such law or the terms hereof. The “Settlement Amount” means (I) the Stated Value, plus (II) unpaid Dividends accrued up to, but not including, the Holder Redemption Exercise Date (as defined below), minus (III) the Series E-1 Holder Optional Redemption Fee applicable on the respective Holder Redemption Deadline (defined below).
4 |
(C) Subject to the provisions of 1.1(e)(i)(A), Holders of shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock may elect to redeem their shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock at any time by delivering to the Corporation’s servicing agent a notice of redemption (the “Holder Redemption Notice”). A Holder Redemption Notice shall be effective as of the last business day of the month after a Holder Redemption Notice is duly received by the Corporation or its designated agent (such date, a “Holder Redemption Deadline”). Any Holder Redemption Notice received after 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on a Holder Redemption Deadline shall be effective as of the next Holder Redemption Deadline. For all shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock duly submitted for Redemption on or before a Holder Redemption Deadline, the Corporation shall determine the Settlement Amount on any business day after such Holder Redemption Deadline but before the next Holder Redemption Deadline (such date, the “Holder Redemption Exercise Date”). Within such period, the Corporation may select the Holder Redemption Exercise Date in the Corporation’s sole discretion. The Corporation may, in the Corporation’s sole discretion, permit a holder to revoke their Holder Redemption Notice at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the business day immediately preceding the Holder Redemption Exercise Date.
(ii) Optional Redemption Fee. A share of Series E-1 Preferred Stock is subject to an early redemption fee (“Series E-1 Holder Optional Redemption Fee”) if it is redeemed by its holder within three years after the date of its issuance (the “Issuance Date”). The amount of the fee equals a percentage of the Stated Value based on the year in which the redemption occurs after the Issuance Date as follows:
(A) Prior to the first anniversary of the Issuance Date: 9.00% of the Stated Value, which equals $90.00 per share of Series E-1 Preferred Stock;
(B) On or after the first anniversary of the Issuance Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Issuance Date: 7.00% of the Stated Value, which equals $70.00 per share of Series E-1 Preferred Stock;
(C) On or after the second anniversary of the Issuance Date but prior to the third anniversary of the Issuance Date: 5.00% of the Stated Value, which equals $50.00 per share of Series E-1 Preferred Stock; and
(D) On or after the third anniversary of the Issuance Date: 0.00% of the Stated Value, which equals $0.00 per share of Series E-1 Preferred Stock.
The Corporation is permitted to waive the Holder Optional Redemption Fee. Any such waiver would apply to any holder of Series E-1 Preferred Stock qualifying for the waiver and exercising a Holder Optional Redemption during the pendency of the term of such waiver. Although the Corporation has retained the right to waive the Holder Optional Redemption Fee in the manner described above, the Corporation is not required to establish any such waivers and the Corporation may never establish any such waivers.

(iii) Optional Redemption Following Death of a Holder. Subject to the restrictions described herein and unless prohibited by Nevada law governing distributions to stockholders of a corporation, beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on December 31st of the year in which the third anniversary of the Issuance Date occurs, the Corporation shall redeem Series E-1 Preferred Stock of a beneficial owner who is a natural person (including a natural person who holds shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock through an Individual Retirement Account or in a personal or estate planning trust) upon his or her death at the written request of the beneficial owner’s estate (such date the request is received by the Company, the “Optional Redemption Following Death of a Holder Notice Date”) at a redemption price equal to the Settlement Amount without application of the Series E-1 Holder Optional Redemption Fee (an “Optional Redemption Following Death of a Holder”). In the Board’s sole and absolute discretion, the Corporation may determine to fulfill an Optional Redemption Following Death of a Holder in either cash or with fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (at a rate equal to (1) the Settlement Amount divided by (2) the closing price of shares of Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or other national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, on the last trading day prior to the Optional Redemption Following Death of a Holder Notice Date); provided that if required by Rule 5635(d) of The Nasdaq Stock Market, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable to holders of Series E-1 Preferred Stock for dividends and redemption shall not exceed the Redemption Share Cap without the approval of the Corporation’s shareholders.
(iv) Corporation Optional Redemption. Subject to the restrictions described herein and unless prohibited by Nevada law governing distributions to stockholders of a corporation or the terms hereof, a share of Series E-1 Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the Corporation’s option (the “Corporation Optional Redemption”) at any time or from time to time upon not less than 10 calendar days nor more than 90 calendar days written notice (the date upon such written notice is provided to holders, the “Corporation Optional Redemption Notice Exercise Date”) to the holders prior to the date fixed for redemption thereof, at a redemption price of 100% of the Stated Value of the shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock to be redeemed plus accrued but unpaid dividends thereon. In the Board’s sole and absolute discretion, the Corporation may determine to fulfill a Corporation Optional Redemption in either cash or with fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (at a rate equal to (1) the Settlement Amount divided by (2) the closing price of shares of Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or other national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, on the last trading day prior to the Corporation Optional Redemption Notice Exercise Date); provided that if required by Rule 5635(d) of The Nasdaq Stock Market, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable to holders of Series E-1 Preferred Stock for dividends and redemption shall not exceed the Redemption Share Cap without the approval of the Corporation’s shareholders. The Corporation shall not exercise the Corporation Optional Redemption prior to the second anniversary of the date on which a share of Series E-1 Preferred Stock has been issued (the “Redemption Eligibility Date”). If the Corporation exercises the Corporation Optional Redemption for less than all of the outstanding shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock, then shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock shall be selected for redemption on a pro rata basis or by lot across holders of the series of Series E-1 Preferred Stock selected for redemption. If, on the date of the contemplated Corporation Optional Redemption, Nevada law governing distributions to stockholders of a corporation or the terms hereof prevents the Corporation from redeeming all outstanding shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock to be redeemed, the Corporation may ratably redeem the maximum number of shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock that it may redeem consistent with such law or provision hereof, and may redeem the remaining shares, in the Board’s sole discretion, in cash or, as soon as it may lawfully do so under such law, with shares of Common Stock. There is no Holder Optional Redemption Fee charged upon a Corporation Optional Redemption.

(v) Reserves of Common Stock. To the extent the Corporation determines to fulfill a Holder Optional Redemption or a Corporation Optional Redemption with fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, instead of with cash, the Corporation shall ensure it has available shares of Common Stock out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock. All rights with respect to the Series E-1 Preferred Stock shall terminate upon the redemption.
(vi) Retirement of Series E-1 Preferred Stock. Any Series E-1 Preferred Stock redeemed in accordance with this (e) shall be retired and cancelled and shall not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of its preferred stock accordingly.
(f) Listing of Series E-1 Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall provide not less than 60 calendar days prior written notice to the holders of shares of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock before listing the Series E-1 Preferred Stock on a national securities exchange or on an over the counter market.
Section 1.2 Withholding. The Corporation agrees that, provided that a holder of the Corporation’s capital stock delivers to the Corporation a properly executed IRS Form W-9 certifying as to such holder’s complete exemption from backup withholding (or, if such holder is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its regarded owner’s complete exemption from backup withholding), under current law the Corporation (including any paying agent of the Corporation) shall not be required to, and shall not, withhold on any payments or deemed payments to any such holder. In the event that any holder of the Corporation’s capital stock fails to deliver to the Corporation such properly executed IRS Form W-9, the Corporation reasonably believes that a previously delivered IRS W-9 is no longer accurate and/or valid, or there is a change in law that affects the withholding obligations of the Corporation, the Corporation and its paying agent shall be entitled to withhold taxes on all payments made to the relevant holder in the form of cash or to request that the relevant holder promptly pay the Corporation in cash any amounts required to satisfy any withholding tax obligations. In the event that the Corporation does not have sufficient cash with respect to any such holder from withholding on cash payments otherwise payable to such holder and cash paid by such holder to the Corporation pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation and its paying agent shall be entitled to withhold taxes on deemed payments, including constructive distributions, on the Series E-1 Preferred Stock to the extent required by law, and the Corporation and its paying agent shall be entitled to satisfy any required withholding tax on non-cash payments (including deemed payments) from cash dividends or sales proceeds subsequently paid or credited on the Series E-1 Preferred Stock.
