FIFTH: The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors, and in further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and of its stockholders or any class thereof, as the case may be, it is further provided that:

The number of directors which shall constitute the Board of Directors shall be fixed by, and in the manner provided in, the Bylaws; provided, that in no event shall the number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors be greater than seven directors, except that upon the approval of at least all but one of the directors then in office, such number may be increased to up to nine directors.

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may adopt, enact, rescind, alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation; provided, however, that the Board shall have no power to rescind, alter, amend or repeal any by-law adopted, enacted, altered or amended by the stockholders or to adopt or enact any by-law that was previously rescinded or repealed by the stockholders. The stockholders shall have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the by-laws of the Corporation; provided, first, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, shall be required to adopt, amend or repeal the by-laws of the Corporation; and provided, second, that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal ARTICLE VII or Section 9.2 of the Bylaws.
-4-
3. The Corporation shall not adopt or approve the classification of directors of the Corporation for staggered terms pursuant to the provisions of Section 141 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, other than by amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon. For the avoidance of doubt, the right, preferences and privileges of one or more series of Preferred Stock may permit holders of such series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series, to designate and elect one or more directors to the Board of Directors to serve for such terms as set forth in the terms of such series of Preferred Stock, provided that any such directors are up for reelection annually and shall not serve staggered or classified terms.
4. Without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting as a single class, the Corporation shall not authorize or establish any Poison Pill. For purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, a “Poison Pill” shall mean any plan or arrangement of the sort commonly referred to as a “stockholder rights plan” or “shareholder rights plan” or “poison pill” including, without limitation, any issuance of securities or other distribution to stockholders of the Corporation, whether or not pursuant to any plan that includes conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants, options or any other rights of any kind, any of which would entitle the holders thereof to acquire, or provides for the holders thereof to receive, any securities of the Corporation (but for the avoidance of doubt excluding any equity incentive plan, option plan or similar plan for the benefit of employees, directors and consultants) (i) at an exercise, option, conversion or exchange price that is less than the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the underlying securities on the date of grant, (ii) at an exercise, option, conversion or exchange price that is determined by reference to the Fair Market Value of the underlying securities at the time of exercise and which either explicitly or implicitly by its terms would entitle the holders thereof to acquire, or provide for the holder thereof to receive, the underlying securities at a price other than the Fair Market Value of such securities on the date of grant or (iii) that is designed to prevent or make more difficult a hostile takeover of the Corporation by increasing the cost to a potential acquirer of such a takeover either through the issuance of new rights, shares of common stock or preferred stock or any other security or device that may be issued to stockholders of the Corporation other than all stockholders of the Corporation that carry severe redemption provisions, favorable purchase provisions or otherwise. For purposes of this paragraph, “Fair Market Value” means (1) as to any class of securities traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on the recognized over-the-counter market, or any class of securities convertible by its terms into such securities, the last closing price on such exchange or last sale price so reported, in each case as to such traded or reported class of securities on the date nearest preceding the date of determination of the Fair Market Value and (ii) as to all other securities, the fair market value determined by the Board of Directors in the exercise of its good faith and reasonable best judgment.
SIXTH: No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such director as a director. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a director shall be liable to the extent provided by applicable law (i) for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional

EXHIBIT A
A. Rights, Preferences and Restrictions of Preferred Stock. The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed on the Preferred Stock are as set forth below in this Exhibit A.
1. Dividend Provisions.
(a) Effective immediately upon the closing of the IPO (as such term is defined in Section 4(b)(v)) (the first date on which payment for shares of Common Stock is received from the underwriters in the IPO shall be referred to herein as the “IPO Date”), the holders of shares of Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of funds legally available therefor, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend on any other shares of capital stock of the Corporation, cumulative dividends at the rate of 8% per share, per annum, declared and paid quarterly as set forth below. Such cumulative dividends, whether or not declared and whether or not funds are legally available therefor, shall accrue on each share of Series H Preferred Stock (x) from the IPO Date with respect to shares of Series H Preferred Stock outstanding on the IPO Date, and (y) from the date such shares are issued (or required to be issued in the case of shares issued as a dividend hereunder) with respect to shares of Series H Preferred Stock issued after the IPO Date, and, in each case, shall accrue from day to day based on a three hundred sixty five (365) day year, whether or not declared until such shares are redeemed or converted into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof. Such dividends shall be paid, to the extent funds are legally available therefor, through the issuance of additional shares of Series H Preferred Stock and shall be paid quarterly in arrears on August 1, November 1, February 1, and May 1 of each year (each a “Dividend Payment Date”). The Series H Preferred Stock paid as dividends shall have all rights granted hereunder, including to the payment of dividends. The dividend payment period for any dividend shall be the period beginning on the immediately preceding Dividend Payment Date (or on the IPO Date in the case of the first dividend payment period, or on the date on which such shares are required to be issued in the case of shares issued as a dividend hereunder) and ending on the day preceding the next succeeding Dividend Payment Date, or the first Dividend Payment Date immediately following the IPO Date, in the case of the first dividend payment period, (or on the date of conversion to Common Stock or on the date of redemption of the applicable shares of Series H Preferred Stock to the extent converted or redeemed prior to a Dividend Payment Date). If any date on which a payment of a dividend or any other amount is due in respect of Series H Preferred Stock is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next day that is a Business Day. The number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock to be issued as a dividend on a Dividend Payment Date to each holder of shares of Series H Preferred Stock for each dividend payment period will be equal to such number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock as is obtained by multiplying the total number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock then held by such holder by 2%; provided, however, that the amount of dividends payable for the first dividend payment period and for any dividend payment period shorter than a full quarterly dividend period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Corporation shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Series H Preferred Stock hereunder and may, at its option, pay cash equal the fair value of the fractional
share of Series H Preferred Stock that would otherwise be payable. All dividends paid in additional shares of Series H Preferred Stock shall be deemed issued on the applicable Dividend Payment Date and will thereupon be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of all liens, charges and other encumbrances. Dividends payable on any Dividend Payment Date shall be paid to the holders of record of the Series H Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock transfer books of the Corporation at 5:00pm (New York City time) on the close of business on the Dividend Payment Date. Dividends paid on the shares of Series H Preferred Stock in an amount less than accrued but unpaid dividends payable thereon shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding.
(b) In the event that dividends referred to in clause (a) immediately above, shall not have been paid for any reason, including because funds are not legally available therefor, (x) the deficiency shall first be fully paid before any dividend or other distribution shall be paid on or declared and set apart for the Common Stock or any other series of Preferred Stock and (y) the Corporation shall have a continuing obligation to the holders of Series H Preferred Stock to pay such dividends as quickly as possible and shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any waiver or consent, and to take any other action, required to authorize and permit the payment of such dividends. The holders of the outstanding Series H Preferred Stock can waive any dividend that such holders shall be entitled to receive under Section 1(a) and this Section 1(b) upon the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock then outstanding.
2. Liquidation Preference.
(a) In the event of any Liquidation Event (as defined below), either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series H Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive, by reason of their ownership thereof, and such entitlement shall be prior and in preference to any distribution of the proceeds of such Liquidation Event (the “Proceeds”) to the holders of or Common Stock, an amount per share in cash equal to the sum of (x) the Series H Original Issue Price (as defined below), (y) all declared but unpaid dividends on such shares, if any, and (z) all unpaid and undeclared cumulative dividends which accrued pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof, on such shares, if any, whether or not declared (collectively, the “Series H Liquidation Preference”). The value of any accrued but unpaid dividends on a share of Series H Preferred Stock shall be calculated as the number of shares, including fractional shares, of Series H Preferred Stock that accrued as a dividend on such share of Series H Preferred Stock, but which is unpaid, multiplied by the Series H Original Issue Price. If, upon the occurrence of such event, the Proceeds thus distributed among the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then the entire remaining Proceeds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount that each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive under this subsection (b). For purposes of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, “Series H Original Issue Price” shall mean $2.49 per share for each share of the Series H Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations or the like with respect to such shares).
-2-
(b) (i) For purposes of this Section 2, a “Liquidation Event” means (A) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets, (B) the consummation of the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continues to represent at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of the Corporation or the surviving or acquiring entity), (C) the closing of the transfer (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons (other than an underwriter of the Corporation’s securities), of the Corporation’s securities if, after such closing, such person or group of affiliated persons would hold fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation (or the surviving or acquiring entity) or (D) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; provided, however, that a transaction shall not constitute a Liquidation Event if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Corporation’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Corporation’s securities immediately prior to such transaction.
(ii) In any Liquidation Event, if Proceeds received by the Corporation or its stockholders are other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value. Any securities shall be valued as follows:
(A) Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability covered by (B) below:
(1) 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 or system over the twenty (20) trading-day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the closing of the Liquidation Event;
(2) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the twenty (20) trading-day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the closing of the Liquidation Event; and
(3) If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.
(B) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder’s status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in (A) (1), (2) or (3) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.
-3-
(C) The foregoing methods for valuing non-cash consideration to be distributed in connection with a Liquidation Event may be superseded by any determination of such value set forth in the definitive agreements governing such Liquidation Event.
(iii) The Corporation shall give each holder of record of Preferred Stock written notice of such impending Liquidation Event (other than a Liquidation Event pursuant to clause (C) of the definition thereof) not later than twenty (20) days prior to the stockholders’ meeting called to approve such transaction, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of such transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing of the final approval of such transaction and in the case of a Liquidation Event pursuant to clause (C) of the definition thereof, shall give each holder of record of Preferred Stock written notice of such Liquidation Event promptly upon becoming aware of such Liquidation Event. Such notices shall describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction (other than a Liquidation Event pursuant to clause (C) of the definition thereof), the provisions of this Section 2 and a good faith estimate of the total Proceeds available to the holders of a share of Common Stock and each series of Preferred Stock assuming (i) the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 4, and (ii) the conversion of no outstanding shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock, and the Corporation shall thereafter give such holders prompt notice of any material changes. Other than a Liquidation Event pursuant to clause (C) of the definition thereof, the transaction shall in no event take place sooner than twenty (20) days after the Corporation has given the first notice provided for herein or sooner than ten (10) days after the Corporation has given notice of any material changes provided for herein; provided, however, that subject to compliance with the General Corporation Law such periods may be shortened or waived upon the written consent of the holders of a majority of all then outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock; provided, however that such notice periods may be shortened or waived with respect to the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock only upon the written consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock.
(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the payments required to be made in accordance with this section, shall be required to be made to the extent funds are legally available therefor, shall be in full redemption of the shares for which full payment has been received by the holder thereof, in cash, in full, and thereafter such shares shall be deemed to have been redeemed and shall cease to be outstanding.
3. Redemption.
(a) Redemption of Series H Preferred Stock.
(i) At any time on or after August 31, 2013, within sixty (60) days after the receipt by the Corporation of a written request (a “Series H Redemption Request”) from the holders of not less than a majority of the then outstanding Series H Preferred Stock (voting as a separate series) that all of the then outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock be redeemed, the Corporation shall, out of funds legally available therefor, redeem (the date, within such 60 day period, selected by the Corporation to redeem the Series H Preferred Stock being referred to as the “Series H Redemption Date”) the then outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock by
-4-
paying therefor a sum per share equal to the Series H Liquidation Preference, on such share (the “Series H Redemption Cash Payment”), calculated as of the Series H Redemption Date, unless an Election (as defined below) is made by a holder of shares, in which case, with respect to each share for which such Election is made, and each share issued as a dividend thereon, the Series H Redemption Cash Payment in respect of such share shall be calculated as of the date on which the applicable Series H Redemption Cash Payment is received by the holder of such share, in cash, in full with the value of any accrued but unpaid dividends on a share of Series H Preferred Stock being calculated as the number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock, including fractional shares, that accrued as a dividend on such share of Series H Preferred Stock, but which is unpaid, multiplied by the Series H Original Issue Price. On the Series H Redemption Date, the Corporation shall pay the Series H Redemption Cash Payment to the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall make such payment, at its option (a “Company Election”), (i) in immediately available funds, or (ii) by the issuance of a promissory note which shall bear simple interest at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum and shall be payable in eight (8) consecutive quarterly cash installments with the first such installment becoming due and payable on the first anniversary of the Series H Redemption Date and the subsequent installments due on the succeeding December 1, March 1, June 1, and September 1; provided, however, that in lieu of receiving the Series H Redemption Cash Payment in the form of a promissory note, any holder of Series H Preferred Stock may instead elect (an “Election”) to be redeemed quarterly and receive the Series H Redemption Cash Payment, in eight (8) consecutive quarterly cash installments with the first such installment becoming due and payable on the Series H Redemption Date and the subsequent installments due on the succeeding December 1, March 1, June 1, and September 1, beginning with the first to occur of such dates. Such installment payments may only be made in cash. Any shares of Series H Preferred Stock with respect to which an Election was made shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided herein, including the payment of dividends, until the applicable Series H Cash Redemption Payment with respect to such shares is received in full by the holder thereof, in cash. After the Corporation makes a Company Election, which shall be irrevocable with respect to a holder of Series H Preferred Stock unless the Corporation and the affected holder agree otherwise, the Corporation shall give notice of the Company Election to the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock. Such notice must be given at least fifteen (15) days prior to the redemption of the Series H Preferred Stock. A holder of Series H Preferred Stock must make its Election, which such election shall be in writing and delivered to the Corporation within ten (10) days of the date of the Company Election to the address and delivery instructions set forth in the notice of the Company Election, which Election, if made, shall be irrevocable with respect to a holder of Series H Preferred Stock unless the Corporation and such holder agree otherwise.
(ii) At least twenty-five (25) days prior to the Series H Redemption Date, written notice shall be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each holder of record (at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given) of Series H Preferred Stock, at the address last shown on the records of the Corporation for such holder, notifying such holder of the redemption to be effected on the Series H Redemption Date, specifying the Series H Redemption Cash Payment and the place at which payment may be obtained and calling upon such holder to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, his, her or its certificate or certificates representing the shares to be redeemed

(the “Series H Redemption Notice”). Except as provided in subsection (3)(a)(i), on or after the Series H Redemption Date, each holder of Series H Preferred Stock on the Series H Redemption Date shall surrender to the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing such shares, in the manner and at the place designated in the Series H Redemption Notice, and thereupon the applicable Series H Redemption Cash Payment of such shares shall be paid to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate, or certificate which should have been surrendered, for which such payment or issuance shall have been made, shall be cancelled, whether or not certificates are surrendered. In the event less than all the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares.
(iii) From and after the Series H Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment of the Series H Redemption Cash Payment, all rights of the holders of shares of Series H Preferred Stock designated for redemption on the Series H Redemption Date as holders of Series H Preferred Stock (except the right to receive the applicable Series H Redemption Cash Payment upon surrender of their certificate or certificates) shall cease with respect to such shares, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever, provided, that this sentence shall not apply with respect to shares of Series H Preferred Stock with respect to which an Election shall have been made pursuant to Section 3(a)(i), and any shares of Series H Preferred Stock issued as a dividend on such shares, which shall be deemed to be outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided herein, including the payment of dividends until the applicable Series H Cash Redemption Payment is received in full by the holder thereof, in cash. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares of Series H Preferred Stock on the Series H Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such date, (x) those funds that are legally available will be used to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares ratably among the holders of such shares to be redeemed in proportion to the aggregate Series H Redemption Cash Payment that each such holder would be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) and (y) the Corporation shall have a continuing obligation to holders of Series H Preferred Stock to redeem any remaining shares of Series H Preferred Stock, out of funds legally available therefor, in the foregoing order as quickly as possible. The shares of Series H Preferred Stock not redeemed shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided herein, including, the payment of dividends, until the applicable Series H Cash Redemption Payment is received in full by the holder thereof, in cash, or converted into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of shares of the Corporation, such funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock that the Corporation has become obliged to redeem but that it has not redeemed.
4. Conversion. The Series H Preferred Stock shall be convertible as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):
(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Series H Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share and on or prior to the fifth day prior to redemption, in full in accordance with the terms hereof,
-6-
with respect to such share of Series H Preferred Stock, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock. Each share of Series H Preferred Stock shall be convertible into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at a rate as is determined by dividing the Series H Original Issue Price by the Series H Conversion Price (the conversion rate for the Series H Preferred Stock into Common Stock is referred to herein as the “Series H Conversion Rate”), determined as hereafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The initial Series H Conversion Price per share for the Series H Preferred Stock shall be $24.00 (the “Series H Conversion Price”); provided, however, that the Series H Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 4. In order to effect a conversion, a holder of Series H Preferred Stock must give five (5) days prior written notice to the Corporation of its election to convert. On the sixth day after such notice (and if such sixth day is not a Business Days, the next Business Day) (the “Conversion Date”), the Corporation shall deliver to such holder of the Series H Preferred Stock that number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock tendered for conversion. With respect to any shares of Series H Preferred Stock that are converted into Common Stock, on and after the applicable Conversion Date of such share (x) dividends otherwise payable on shares of Series H Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue on such shares and (y) all rights of holders of such shares of Series H Preferred Stock shall terminate with respect to such shares. In addition to the Conversion Shares, a number of shares of Common Stock shall be delivered for each share of Series H Preferred Stock being converted, to the holder of such share of Series H Preferred Stock, in an amount determined by multiplying the number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock, including fractional shares, that have accrued as dividends on such share of Series H Preferred Stock for any current or prior dividend payment period, but are unpaid, by the Series H Conversion Rate, as in effect on the date of conversion.
(b) Mandatory Conversion of Series H Preferred Stock.
(i) Following the IPO, the Corporation may, at any time, by providing not less than 5 nor more than 15 days’ notice, cause all, but not less than all, of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock to be mandatorily converted into shares of Common Stock at the Series H Conversion Rate at the time in effect for the Series H Preferred Stock (a “Mandatory Conversion”); provided that the Corporation may exercise this right only if the average of the Daily Closing Prices for the Common Stock for the Trading Days in a period of 90 consecutive days (the “Average Closing Price”), ending on the last Trading Day prior to the date the Corporation gives notice of its election to call a Mandatory Conversion, equals or exceeds, at the Corporation’s option, (a) a price per share of Common Stock agreed to in writing between the Corporation and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock, a copy of which agreement shall be provided to any stockholder of the Corporation upon request therefor; or (b) an Average Closing Price that would result in a Market Capitalization of at least $800 million.
(ii) To exercise a Mandatory Conversion, the Corporation shall give notice by mail and/or electronic delivery (the “Mandatory Conversion Notice”) to (a) its transfer agent; and (b) the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock of the election of a Mandatory Conversion. The date on which such Mandatory Conversion shall be consummated will be a date
-7-
selected by the Corporation (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”) and shall be no less than 5 days or more than 15 days after the date of the Mandatory Conversion Notice.
(iii) In addition to any information required by applicable law or regulation, the Mandatory Conversion Notice shall state, as appropriate: (a) the Mandatory Conversion Date; (b) the Series H Conversion Rate; (c) the number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock to be converted; and (d) that dividends on the Series H Preferred Stock to be converted will cease to accrue on the Mandatory Conversion Date.
(iv) On and after the Mandatory Conversion Date, dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares of Series H Preferred Stock that are converted into Common Stock, all rights of holders of such Series H Preferred Stock shall terminate and all outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock shall automatically convert at the Series H Conversion Rate, as in effect on the date of conversion. In addition, a number of shares of Common Stock shall be delivered for each share of Series H Preferred Stock being converted, to the holder of such share of Series H Preferred Stock, in an amount determined by multiplying the number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock, including fractional shares, that have accrued as dividends on such share of Series H Preferred Stock for any current or prior dividend payment period, but are unpaid, by the Series H Conversion Rate, as in effect on the date of conversion.
(v) For purposes of this sub clause (c):
“Daily Closing Price” of the Common Stock on any Trading Day means the reported last sale price per share (or, if no last sale price is reported, the average of the bid and ask prices per share or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices per share) on such date reported by the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed.
“IPO” means the Corporation’s initial underwritten public offering (the “IPO”) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-164471 including any post effective amendment thereto) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;
“Market Capitalization” means the sum of, without duplication (A) the product of (i) the Average Closing Price; multiplied by (ii) the sum of:
(w) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the time of the execution of the underwriting agreement for the IPO (adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split to be effected in connection with the IPO),plus
(x) the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of all of the Corporation’s preferred stock, including, without limitation, (i) the Series H Preferred Stock, outstanding at the time of the execution of the underwriting agreement for the IPO (adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split to be effected in connection with the IPO); and (ii) the IPO Shares and the Additional Series E IPO Shares (as such terms are defined in the Corporation’s Amended and
-8-
Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 15, 2007);
plus
(B) for each Included Option (as defined below), the product of (a) the amount by which the per share price to the public in the IPO exceeds the per share exercise price (adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split to be effected in connection with the IPO) of each such Included Option, multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Common Stock that would be received upon exercise (not on a cashless or net-exercise basis) of such Included Option (adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split to be effected in connection with the IPO and the conversion of the Corporation’s preferred stock in connection with the IPO);
For the avoidance of doubt, in calculating the “Market Capitalization” pursuant to this sub clause (c) any shares of Common Stock registered for sale by the Corporation, for its own account, in the IPO shall not be included.
The term “Included Option” means any outstanding option or warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock that is outstanding at the time of the execution of the underwriting agreement for the IPO, but in each case, only to the extent vested as the date of the execution of the underwriting agreement, including, without limitation, warrants to purchase the Corporation’s preferred stock that become warrants to purchase Common Stock upon the conversion of the Corporation’s preferred stock in connection with the IPO and has a per share exercise price (adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split to be effected in connection with the IPO) that, as of the date of the execution of the underwriting agreement for the IPO, is less than the per share price to the public in the IPO. For the avoidance of doubt, to be deemed an Included Option for purposes of this sub clause (c), only such options or warrants that satisfy the definition of Included Option as of the IPO Date shall be included and the number of such options or warrants that are so deemed to be Included Options as of the IPO Date shall not be increased or decreased thereafter for any reason, including as a result of fluctuation of the Daily Closing Price.
“Trading Day” means: a day on which the Common Stock was traded on the Corporation’s principal national securities exchange or quotation system.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to voluntarily convert the same into shares of Common Stock, he or she shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Series H Preferred Stock and shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall stated 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
-9-
office to such holder of Series H 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 Series H 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 of 1933, as amended, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Series H 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 persons entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Series H Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.
(d) Conversion Price Adjustments for Certain Dilutive Issuances, Splits and Combinations. The Series H Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) (A) If the Corporation shall issue, on or after the date upon which this Restated Certificate of Incorporation is accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Filing Date”), any Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series H Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock, the Series H Conversion Price, as the case may be, in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in this clause (i)) be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying such Series H Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for such issuance would purchase at the Series H Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of such Additional Stock. For purposes of this Section 4(d)(i)(A), the term “Common Stock Outstanding” shall mean and include the following: (1) outstanding Common Stock, (2) Common Stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding Series H Preferred Stock, (3) Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and (4) Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants. Shares described in (1) through (4) above shall be included whether vested or unvested, whether contingent or non-contingent and whether exercisable or not yet exercisable.
(B) No adjustment of the Series H Conversion Price shall be made in an amount less than one-tenth (1/10th) of one cent per share, provided that any adjustments that 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 to three (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, or shall be made at the end of three (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward. Except to the limited extent provided for in subsections (E)(3) and (E)(4), no adjustment of the Series H Conversion Price pursuant to this subsection 4(d)(i) shall have the
-10-
effect of increasing the Series H Conversion Price above the Series H Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(C) 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.
(D) In the case of the issuance of the 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 market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors irrespective of any accounting treatment.
(E) In the case of the issuance of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the following provisions shall apply for purposes of determining the number of shares of Additional Stock issued and the consideration paid therefor:
(1) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common 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 Common 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 subsections 4(d)(i)(C) and (d)(i)(D)), 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 (without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for the Common Stock covered thereby.
(2) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common 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 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 (without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in subsections 4(d)(i)(C) and (d)(i)(D)).
(3) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon exercise of
-11-
such options or rights or upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Series H Conversion Price, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities, shall be recomputed to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common 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 Series H Conversion Price, 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 Common Stock (and convertible or exchangeable securities that 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 to subsections 4(d)(i)(E)(1) and (2) shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described in either subsection 4(d)(i)(E)(3) or (4).
(ii) “Additional Stock” shall mean any shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to subsection 4(d)(i)(E)) by the Corporation on or after the Filing Date other than:
(A) Common Stock issued pursuant to a transaction described in subsection 4(d)(iii) hereof;
(B) shares of Common Stock issued to employees, directors, consultants and other service providers for the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their services pursuant to plans or agreements approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors;
(C) Common Stock issued (i) in the IPO (including in any over-allotment option), the public offering price of which is not less than $14.54 per share, and (ii) a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the public offering price of which was not less than $14.54 per share (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations or the like), the gross proceeds of which (prior to underwriter discounts and commissions) are a minimum of $40,000,000 in the aggregate, and the first closing of which occurs within 370 days of the IPO Date, with any subsequent closing occurring within 30 days of the first closing;
(D) Common Stock issued (i) pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities outstanding on the Filing Date, or (ii) pursuant to the conversion of any Series H Preferred Stock whether or not outstanding on the Filing Date;
-12-
(E) Common Stock issued pursuant to any equipment leasing arrangement or debt financing from a bank or similar institution, in each case that has been approved by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock (voting as a separate class), provided such issuances are not equity financing transactions and are approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors, provided, further that none of such Common Stock is issued to a Company Affiliate or Affiliated Company (whether as the legal or beneficial holder) or issued (whether as a legal or beneficial holder) where the legal or beneficial holder at issuance has an agreement or intention at the time of such issuance to transfer to a Company Affiliate or Affiliated Company. “Affiliated Company” means any entity, or if such entity is a subsidiary of another entity, such entity’s ultimate parent entity, that has more than ten percent (10%) of its outstanding voting equity securities held by one or more of the Corporation’s stockholders and “Company Affiliate” shall mean any person or entity that is an officer, director or holder of more than 5% of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of Common Stock Series H Preferred Stock (with such Series H Preferred Stock calculated on an as-converted to Common Stock basis).
(F) Common Stock issued to customers, vendors or other persons or entities in strategic business transactions between the Corporation and such parties, provided such issuances are not equity financing transactions and are approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors, provided, further, that none of such Common Stock is issued to a Company Affiliate or Affiliated Company (whether as the legal or beneficial holder) or issued (whether as a legal or beneficial holder) where the legal or beneficial holder at issuance has an agreement or intention at the time of such issuance to transfer to a Company Affiliate or Affiliated Company; provided, further, that in no event shall the Corporation issue any securities other than shares of Common Stock in connection with any such strategic business transactions and in no event shall the aggregate amount of all such securities issued in connection with any and all such strategic business transactions at any time exceed 1% of the shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock outstanding on the Filing Date (calculated on an as-converted to Common Stock basis); or
(iii) In the event the Corporation should at any time or from time to time after the Filing 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 Stock Equivalents”) 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 Series H Conversion Price 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 of the aggregate of shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents.
-13-
(iv) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Filing Date is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date of such combination, the Series H Conversion Price for the Series H Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
(e) Other Distributions. In the event the Corporation shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in subsection 4(d)(iii), then, in each such case for the purpose of this subsection 4(e), the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into which their shares of Series H Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to receive such distribution.
(f) Recapitalizations. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 4 or in Section 2) provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 (including adjustment of the Series H Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalently as may be practicable.
(g) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, without the appropriate vote of the stockholders under the General Corporation Law or required pursuant to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, 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 of this Section 4 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 Series H Preferred Stock against impairment.
(h) Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments.
(i) Fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Preferred Stock if upon conversion a fraction of a whole share is issuable (taking into account shares of Preferred Stock accrued by such holder at the time of conversion). A holder of a fractional share of Common Stock is entitled to all rights of a whole share of Common
-14-
Stock, in proportion to such fraction, to the extent set forth in Section 155 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
(ii) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Series H Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Series H 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 Series H Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Series H Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (C) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of Series H Preferred Stock.
(i) Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Series H Preferred Stock, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution, and the amount and character of such dividend or distribution.
(j) 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 Series H 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, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
(k) Previous Adjustments. The Series H Conversion Price and the other per share prices set forth herein take into account all adjustments up to the Filing Date.
(l) Waiver of Adjustment to the Series H Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any downward adjustment of the Series H Conversion Price may be waived, either prospectively or retroactively and either generally or in a particular instance, by the consent or vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Series H Preferred Stock. Any such waiver shall bind all future holders of shares of Series H Preferred Stock.
-15-
5. Voting Rights.
(a) General Voting Rights. The‘holder of each share of Series H Preferred Stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such Series H Preferred Stock, and with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock, and shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation and shall be entitled to vote, together with holders of Common Stock, with respect to any question upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights available on an as-converted basis (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Series H Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half (1/2) being rounded upward).
(b) Voting for the Election of Directors. As long as any shares of Series H Preferred Stock are outstanding, the holders of such shares of Series H Preferred Stock, voting as a separate series, shall be entitled to elect two (2) directors (any such director a “Series H Director”) of the Corporation at any election of directors. The holders of the Series H 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 any remaining directors of the Corporation.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 223(a)(1) and 223(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law, any vacancy, including newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or amendment of this 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, provided, that (i) any such vacancy in respect of a Series H Director shall be filled only by the other Series H Director then in office or if there is no other Series H Director then in office, by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock. 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 shares of such class or series may override the Board’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 may be removed during his or her term of office, either with or without cause, by, and only by the affirmative vote of the holders 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 that class or series of stock represented at the meeting or pursuant to written consent pursuant to this Section 5.
6. Protective Provisions. So long as at least 10% (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations or the like) of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock authorized for issuance are outstanding, the Corporation shall not (by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise) without first obtaining the approval (by vote or
-16-
written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock:
(a) increase or decrease (other than by redemption or conversion) the total number of authorized shares of Series H Preferred Stock;
(b) authorize or issue, or obligate itself to issue, any equity or equity-linked security (whether equity, convertible debt or a unit of debt and equity securities or any other security convertible into or exercisable for any such security) (i) having a preference over, or being on a parity with, the Series H Preferred Stock, other than additional shares of Series H Preferred Stock issued as dividends pursuant to Section 1(a) of this Exhibit A, or (ii) having a redemption date on or prior to August 31, 2013;
(c) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire (or pay into or set aside for a sinking fund for such purpose) any share or shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock; provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to (i) the repurchase of shares, at cost, of Common Stock from employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons performing services for the Corporation or any subsidiary pursuant to agreements under which the Corporation has the option to repurchase such shares upon the termination of employment or service, (ii) the redemption of any share or shares of Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 3, or (iii) shares of Common Stock deemed redeemed, purchased or acquired upon the cashless exercise of an option or warrant to purchase Common Stock;
(d) amend or waive any provision of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws where such amendment or waiver adversely affects the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock; or
