(c) Mechanics of Conversion.
(i) Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock pursuant toSection 4(a) above, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. 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 as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offering of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.
(ii) Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock into which such holder’s shares shall have converted pursuant to the provisions ofSection 4(b) above, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid.
(d)Conversion Price Adjustments for Certain Dilutive Issuances, Splits and Combinations. The Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i)(A) If the Corporation shall issue, after the date upon which any shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock were first issued (the “Purchase Date”), any Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Series B-1 Preferred Stock or the Series C-1 Preferred Stock, as applicable, as in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then each such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to each Dilutive Issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in thisclause (i)) be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance (including, without limitation, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding Preferred Stock and all other convertible securities and the exercise of all outstanding options, warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock) plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
9
consideration received by the Corporation for the Dilutive Issuance would purchase at such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance; and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance (including, without limitation, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Stock and all other convertible securities and the exercise of all outstanding options, warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock) plus the number of shares of Additional Stock issued in the Dilutive Issuance. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, an adjustment with respect to the Conversion Price of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock or Series C-1 Preferred Stock held by any holder who is a Qualified Investor (defined below) shall only be made pursuant to thisSection 4(d)(i) if such Qualified Investor is a Fully-Exercising Investor (defined inSection 5(b) below) in connection with the Dilutive Issuance. If such holder is not a Fully-Exercising Investor in connection with such Dilutive Issuance (a “Non-Participating Investor”), then, effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Dilutive Issuance:
(1) all shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock held by such Non-Participating Investor, in the case of a Dilutive Issuance with respect to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, shall automatically be converted into an equal number of shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock (and concurrently any shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock issuable upon payment of accrued dividends as provided inSection 1(a) above to such Non-Participating Investor shall automatically become payable in an equal number of shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock instead of Series A-2 Preferred Stock),
(2) all shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock held by such Non-Participating Investor, in the case of a Dilutive Issuance with respect to the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, shall automatically be converted into an equal number of shares of Series B-3 Preferred Stock (and concurrently any shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock issuable upon payment of accrued dividends as provided inSection 1(a) above to such Non-Participating Investor shall automatically become payable in an equal number of shares of Series B-4 Preferred Stock instead of Series B-2 Preferred Stock) and
(3) all shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock held by such Non-Participating Investor, in the case of a Dilutive Issuance with respect to the Series C-1 Preferred Stock, shall automatically be converted into an equal number of shares of Series C-3 Preferred Stock (and concurrently any shares of Series C-2 Preferred Stock issuable upon payment of accrued dividends as provided inSection 1(a) above to such Non-Participating Investor shall automatically become payable in an equal number of shares of Series C-4 Preferred Stock instead of Series C-2 Preferred Stock).
The Conversion Price for any shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock, Series A-4 Preferred Stock, Series B-3 Preferred Stock, Series B-4 Preferred Stock, Series C-3 Preferred Stock or Series C-4 Preferred Stock held by a Non-Participating Investor shall be equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance relating to such conversion and holders of Series

(2) amend the provisions of thisSection 4(d) to provide the conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock or Series C-1
11
Preferred Stock, as applicable, for all Non-Participating Investors in the next Dilutive Issuance, if any, will be into shares of such Non-Adjusting Preferred Stock and the conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series B-2 Preferred Stock or Series C-2 Preferred Stock, as applicable, for all Non-Participating Investors in the next Dilutive Issuance, if any, will be into shares of the corresponding Dividend Stock.
(C) No adjustment of the Conversion Price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Series B-1 Preferred Stock or the Series C-1 Preferred Stock shall be made in an amount less thanone cent ($0.01) per share,provided,however, that any adjustments which are not required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be either taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made prior tothree (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, or shall be made at the end ofthree (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward. Except to the limited extent provided for inSections 4(d)(i)(F)(3) and(4) below, no adjustment of such Conversion Price pursuant to thisSection 4(d)(i) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(D) In the case of the issuance of Additional Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the Corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.
(E) In the case of the issuance of Additional Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined by the Board in good faith irrespective of any accounting treatment.
(F) In the case of the issuance of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Additional Stock, securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Additional Stock or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the following provisions shall apply for all purposes of thisSections 4(d)(i) and(ii) below:
(1) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Additional Stock deliverable upon exercise (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Additional Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in Sections 4(d)(i)(D) and (E) above), if any, received by the Corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum exercise price provided in such options or rights for the Additional Stock covered thereby.
(2) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Additional Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility or exchangeability, including, without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for any such convertible
12
or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights and the subsequent conversion or exercise of such securities (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided inSections 4(d)(i)(D) and(E) above).
(3) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Additional Stock deliverable or in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon exercise of such options or rights or upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the antidilution provisions thereof, the Conversion Price of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Series B-1 Preferred Stock and the Series C-1 Preferred Stock, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities or options or rights related to such securities, shall be recomputed to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Additional Stock or any payment of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the conversion or exchange of such securities.
(4) Upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities or options or rights related to such securities, shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Additional Stock (and convertible or exchangeable securities which remain in effect) actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such securities.
(5) The number of shares of Additional Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid therefor pursuant toSections 4(d)(i)(F)(1) and (2) above shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described in eitherSections 4(d)(i)(F)(3) or (4) above.
(ii) “Additional Stock” shall mean any shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant toSection 4(d)(i)(F) above) by the Corporation after the Purchase Date other than the following:

(F) Common Stock issued or issuable in connection with any corporate partnering, acquisition, strategic alliance, technology transfer, equipment or debt financing or similar transaction;provided,however, that such transaction is approved by a majority of the directors elected by holders of the Preferred Stock.
(iii) In the event the Corporation should at any time or from time to time after the Purchase Date fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as “Common StockEquivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall be appropriately 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 outstanding shares.

In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of thisSection 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of thisSection 4 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
(g) No Impairment.

The Corporation shall promptly, in writing, inform each Qualified Investor that purchases all the Shares available to it (each a “Fully-Exercising Investor”) pursuant to thisSection 5(b) of any other party’s failure to do likewise.
