1.Dividends. In preference to any dividends payable with respect to the Series A-3 Preferred, Series B-3 Preferred and the Common Stock, (i) the holders of the Series E-3 Preferred shall be entitled to receive, out of assets legally available therefore and on a pari passu basis with the holders of the Series D-3 Preferred and Series C-3 Preferred, dividends in the amount of $0.0263 per share of Series E-3 Preferred (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) per annum, (ii) the holders of the Series D-3 Preferred shall be
2
entitled to receive, out of assets legally available therefore and on a pari passu basis with the holders of the Series E-3 Preferred and Series C-3 Preferred, dividends in the amount of $0.052 per share of Series D-3 Preferred (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) per annum and (iii) the holders of the Series C-3 Preferred, shall be entitled to receive, out of assets legally available therefore and on a pari passu basis with the holders of the Series E-3 Preferred and Series D-3 Preferred, dividends in the amount of $0.0976 per share of Series C-3 Preferred (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) per annum.

If any lesser dividend amount is declared by the Board of Directors on the Preferred Stock, such amount shall be paid out of funds legally available therefor, and shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Preferred Stock in accordance with their aggregate dividend rights as set forth above. After the foregoing dividends on the Preferred Stock shall have been paid, then the Corporation may (when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors) declare and distribute in such year dividends among the holders of Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each, determined on an as-converted basis (assuming full conversion of all such Preferred Stock) as of the record date with respect to the declaration of such dividends.
No dividends (other than those payable solely in the Common Stock of the Corporation) shall be paid or declared on any Common Stock of the Corporation during any fiscal year of the Corporation until the dividend amounts set forth above shall have been paid on the Preferred Stock or declared and set apart during that fiscal year.

(c)Deemed Liquidation.
(i) For purposes of thisSection 2 andSection 7, a “Liquidation Event” shall include (A) the closing of the sale, exclusive license, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of this Corporation’s assets, (B) the consummation of the merger or consolidation of this Corporation with or into another entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of this Corporation immediately prior to such
5
merger or consolidation continue to hold at least 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of this Corporation or the surviving or acquiring entity), and (C) the closing of any transaction or a series of related transactions pursuant to which a person or group of affiliated persons (other than an underwriter of this Corporation’s securities) acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting stock of this Corporation (each a “Deemed Liquidation Event”); provided, however, that a transaction shall not constitute a Liquidation Event if its sole purpose is to change the state of this Corporation’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in the same proportions by the persons who held this Corporation’s securities immediately prior to such transaction. Notwithstanding thisSection 2(c), the treatment of any particular transaction or series of related transactions as a Liquidation Event hereunder shall not be required in the event that a waiver or written consent to that effect is executed by the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis), or if the same required vote is obtained at a meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation.
(ii) The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event referred to inSection 2(c) unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction (the “Merger Agreement”) 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 withSections 2(a) and 2(b).
(iii) In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event referred to inSection 2(c)(i), 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 (A) the Corporation shall send a written notice to each holder of Preferred Stock no later than the 30th 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 thisSection 2(c)(iii) to require the redemption of such shares of Preferred Stock and (B) if the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis), 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, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation), together with any other assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders (the “Available Proceeds”), to the extent legally available therefor, on the 150th day after such Deemed Liquidation Event, to redeem all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the Series E-3 Liquidation Amount, Series D-3 Liquidation Amount, Series C-3 Liquidation Amount, Series B-3 Liquidation Amount or the Series A-3 Liquidation Amount, as applicable. 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 Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s shares of Preferred Stock to the fullest extent of such Available Proceeds, based on the respective priorities and amounts that would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares to be redeemed underSections 2(a) and2(b) if the Available Proceeds were sufficient to redeem all such shares, and shall redeem the remaining shares to have been redeemed as soon as practicable after the Corporation has funds legally available therefor. Prior to the distribution or redemption provided for in thisSection 2(c)(iii), the
6
Corporation shall not expend or dissipate the consideration received for such Deemed Liquidation Event, except to discharge expenses incurred in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event or in the ordinary course of business.
(d)Noncash Distributions. If any of the assets of the Corporation are to be distributed other than in cash under thisSection 2 or for any purpose, then the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall promptly engage an independent competent appraiser to determine the value of the assets to be distributed to the holders of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock. The Corporation shall, upon receipt of such appraiser’s valuation, give prompt written notice to each holder of shares of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock of the appraiser’s valuation. Notwithstanding the above, any securities to be distributed to the stockholders shall be valued as follows:
(i) If traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange over the 20 trading day period ending three (3) business days prior to the closing;
(ii) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the 20 trading day period ending three (3) business days prior to the closing; and
(iii) If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by the Corporation and the holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis), provided that if the Corporation and the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis) are unable to reach agreement, then by independent appraisal by an investment banker hired and paid by the Corporation, but acceptable to the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis).
3.Voting Rights.
(a)General. Except as set forth herein or as otherwise required by law, the holder of each share of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock could be converted at the record date for determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters, or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited, in each case with such votes to be counted together with all other shares of stock of the Corporation having general voting power and not counted separately as a class. Holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation.
(b)Board of Directors. The authorized number of directors shall be as set forth in the Bylaws of the Corporation. So long as at least 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) remain issued and outstanding, (i) the holders of the Series E-3 Preferred, Series D-3 Preferred,
7
Series C-3 Preferred and Series B-3 Preferred, (voting as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis), shall be entitled to elect two (2) directors and (ii) the holders of the Series A-3 Stock, voting as a single class, shall be entitled to elect three (3) directors. The holders of the Preferred Stock and Common Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as converted basis) shall be entitled to elect the remaining directors of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 223(a)(1) and 223(a)(2) of the DGCL, any vacancy, including newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or amendment of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and vacancies created by removal or resignation of a director, may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and the directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until their successors are duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced; provided, however, that where such vacancy occurs among the directors elected by the holders of a class or series of stock, the holders of at least a majority of the shares of such class or series may override the Board of Director’s action to fill such vacancy by (i) voting for their own designee to fill such vacancy at a meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders or (ii) written consent, if the consenting stockholders hold a sufficient number of shares to elect their designee at a meeting of the stockholders. Any director elected as provided in the immediately preceding sentence hereof may be removed during the aforesaid term of office, either with or without cause, by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of the class or series of stock entitled to elect such director or directors, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders, and any vacancy thereby created may be filled by the holders of at least a majority of the shares of that class or series of stock represented at the meeting or pursuant to written consent.

The initial Series C-3 Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.
(iv) Each share of Series B-3 Preferred shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof and without payment of any additional consideration, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Series B-3 Preferred into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (A) $0.65 (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) plus an amount equal to all previously declared but unpaid dividends on such share of Series B-3 Preferred, by (B) the Series B-3 Conversion Price, as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of the conversion.

The initial Series B-3 Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.
(v) Each share of Series A-3 Preferred shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Series A-3 Preferred into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (A) $0.65 (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) plus an amount equal to all previously declared but unpaid dividends on such share of Series A-3 Preferred Stock, by (B) the Series A-3 Conversion Price, as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of the conversion.

(b)Automatic Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted, without the payment of any additional consideration, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Price upon the earlier to occur of (i) immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering
9
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of securities for the account of the Corporation to the public (A) with respect to which the Corporation receives aggregate net proceeds (after deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions) of not less than $50,000,000, and (B) with respect to which such Common Stock is listed for trading on either the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market (a “QPO”), or (ii) the election of holders of (A) at least two-thirds (66.67%) of the then outstanding Series E-3 Preferred with respect to the Series E-3 Preferred shares; (B) at least two-thirds (66.67%) of the then outstanding Series D-3 Preferred with respect to the Series D-3 Preferred shares; and (C) at least two-thirds (66.67%) of the then outstanding Series C-3 Preferred and at least a majority of the then outstanding Series C-3 Preferred, Series B-3 Preferred and Series A-3 Preferred (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis), which majority shall include at least two-thirds (66.67%) of the then outstanding Series C-3 Preferred, with respect to the Series C-3 Preferred, Series B-3 Preferred and Series A-3 Preferred shares to convert such shares into Common Stock. The automatic conversion provided for inSection 4(b)(i) shall be deemed ineffective to the extent that the initial public offering in question fails to close subsequent to the automatic conversion.
(c)Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then effective Conversion Price. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into full shares of Common Stock and to receive certificates therefor, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, or shall deliver an affidavit of loss, to the Corporation at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock, to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.
(d)Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the 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 Preferred Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number that would result in an adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) below) of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion, exercise and/or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided that Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant toSection 5(d)) of such Additional Shares of Common Stock would be less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue or would otherwise be subject toSection 5(d)(iii) on such record date and provided further, that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued:
(i) no further adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;
(ii) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation, or increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange thereof, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities;
12
(iii) upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if:
(A) in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Common Stock, the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued were shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation upon such conversion or exchange, and
(B) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such Options, and the consideration received by the Corporation for the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Corporation upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;
(iv) no readjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Conversion Price on the original adjustment date, or (ii) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date; and
(v) in the case of any Options which expire by their terms not more than 30 days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the manner provided in clause (iii) above.
(d)Adjustment of Conversion Price of Preferred Stock Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(i) In the event that after the Original Issue Date the Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant toSection 5(c)) without consideration or for consideration per share less than the Series E-3 Conversion Price, then and in each such event, the Series E-3 Conversion Price shall be reduced to a price equal to the per share price paid for the Additional Shares of Common Stock.
13
(ii) In the event that after the Original Issue Date the Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant toSection 5(c)) without consideration or for consideration per share less than the Series D-3 Conversion Price, then and in each such event, the Series D-3 Conversion Price shall be reduced to a price equal to the per share price paid for the Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(iii) In the event that after the Original Issue Date the Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant toSection 5(c)) without consideration or for consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in each such event, the Conversion Price of the Series C-3 Preferred, Series B-3 Preferred or Series A-3 Preferred, as applicable, shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest tenth of a cent) determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the Conversion Price; and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued; and provided further that, for the purposes of thisSection 5(d), shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding Preferred Stock and outstanding Convertible Securities or exercise of outstanding Options shall not be deemed to be outstanding.
(iv) Notwithstanding the above, no Conversion Price adjustment effected by operation of any provision of thisSection 5(d) shall be construed so as to necessitate any further adjustment of the Conversion Price of Preferred Stock hereunder.
(e)Determination of Consideration. For purposes of thisSection 5, the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:
(i)Cash and Property. Except as provided in clause (ii) below, such consideration shall:
(A) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;
(B) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board and the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis); provided, however, that no value shall be attributed to any services performed by any employee, officer or director of the Corporation;
14
(C) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received with respect to such Additional Shares of Common Stock, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Board and the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis); and
(D) anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if in any case described above, the Corporation and the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock are unable to reach agreement as to the value of such consideration, then the value thereof will be determined by an independent appraisal by a mutually agreed to investment banker, the fees of which shall be paid by the Corporation.
(ii)Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant toSection 5(c), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:
(1) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities by;
(2) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise (and, if applicable, conversion) of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(f)Adjustments for Stock Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidations of Common Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided (by stock dividend, stock split, or otherwise) into a greater number of shares of Common Stock after the Original Issue Date, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation be proportionately increased.
(g)Adjustments for Other Distributions. In the event at any time after the Original Issue Date the Corporation at any time or from time to time makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any distribution payable in securities or assets of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of
15
securities or assets of the Corporation which they would have received had their Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the date of conversion, retained such securities or assets receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under thisSection 5 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock.
(h)Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), then and in each such event the holder of each share of Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization or reclassification or other change by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Preferred Stock immediately before that change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
(i)No Impairment. Without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock, explicitly authorizing one or more of the actions set forth below herein, the Corporation will not, through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions ofSection 5 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock against impairment.
(j)Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant toSection 5, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of Preferred Stock.
6.Notices of Record Date. In the event that the Corporation shall propose at any time:
(a) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus;
16
(b) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Stock outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or

(ii) in the case of the matters referred to in (b) and (c) above, at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event); provided, however, that the periods for the notice requirements set forth in thisSection 6 may be shortened upon the vote or written consent of the holders of at least majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis).
Each such written notice shall be delivered personally or given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of the Preferred Stock at the address for each such holder as shown on the books of this Corporation.
