Section 5: Series A Preferred Stock.
(a) Payment of Dividends.
(1) Dividends will accrue on each share of Series A Preferred Stock at the rate of three percent (3%) of the Liquidation Value thereof, per annum, from and including the date of issuance of such share. All dividends on account of Series A Preferred Stock shall accrue and cumulate whether or not they have been declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. All accrued and unpaid dividends on Series A Preferred Stock shall be fully paid before any cash dividends may be declared or paid with respect to any shares of Common Stock. All accrued and unpaid dividends on outstanding Series A Preferred Stock shall be paid upon or after the occurrence of a Significant Transaction or Liquidation Event out of the funds of the Corporation legally available for payment of such dividends. The rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock to receive dividends pursuant to this Section 5(a)(1) are subject to all applicable provisions of the DGCL and the rights of Holders of any series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence. No accrued and unpaid dividends shall be payable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock to Class B Common Stock in accordance with Section (b) below.
(2) So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends, except as provided in Section 5(a)(3), shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment and no other distribution shall be declared or made upon the Common Stock unless an amount equal to the aggregate amount of such dividends or distribution to the Holders of Common Stock shall have been paid with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock and the character of such dividend or distribution is the same.
(3) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5(a) or any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, the Corporation shall have the power to declare and pay dividends or make distributions on the Common Stock which are payable solely in additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4(c) hereof.
(b) Conversion Rights.
(1) Any Holder of Series A Preferred Stock may convert all of the Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder into a number of shares of the Corporation’s Class B Common Stock computed by multiplying the liquidation value of the Series A Preferred Stock by 0.5 and issuing the number of shares of Class B Common Stock (at an issue price of $1,000 per share) as is equal to such amount.
(2) The conversion right of a Holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be exercised by the surrender of such Holder’s certificate or certificates representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, to the Corporation accompanied by a Conversion Notice, each duly executed the Holder or such Holder’s duly authorized attorney.
4
(3) Each conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been consummated immediately prior to the close of business on the applicable Conversion Date, and as of such time and date each Holder converting Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be the Holder of record of Class B Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Series A Preferred Stock, notwithstanding that the share register of the Corporation may then be closed or that certificates representing such Class B Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to such Person.
(4) Immediately prior to the close of business on any Conversion Date, all rights with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted shall terminate, except the rights of Holders thereof to (A) receive certificates for the number of shares of Class B Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been converted and (B) exercise the rights to which such Holders are entitled as Holders of Class B Common Stock.
(5) As soon as possible after a conversion has been effected, the Corporation will deliver to the converting holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Class B Common Stock issuable by reason of such conversion in such name or names and such denomination or denominations as the converting Holder has specified;
(6) All shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free of all liens arising by action of the Corporation and not subject to any preemptive rights.
(7) The issuance of certificates for shares of Class B Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be made without charge to the holders of such Series A Preferred Stock for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock. The Corporation will not close its books against the transfer of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or of Class B Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of such shares.
(8) If any fractional interest in a share of Class B Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section 5(b)(8), be deliverable upon any conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation, in lieu of delivering the fractional share therefor, may pay an amount to the Holder thereof equal to such fractional interest of the Series A Preferred Stock multiplied times its Liquidation Value.
(c) Liquidation Preference
(1) Series A Preferred Stock. Upon the occurrence of any Liquidation Event, after payment or distribution of the assets of the Corporation (whether capital or surplus) shall be made or set apart for payment in full of all outstanding indebtedness of the Corporation and the Holders of any series of Preferred Stock which is designated as senior with respect to rights upon a Liquidation Event, and before any payment or distribution of the assets
5
of the Corporation (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the Holders of any other shares of the Corporation’s Capital Stock, the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, to be distributed ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by them. If, upon any Liquidation Event, the amount payable with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment in full to the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock, the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the Series A Preferred Stock.
(2) Distributions on Parity Securities. If, upon any Liquidation Event, the amounts payable with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to Section 5(c) hereof and such amounts payable with respect to any series of Preferred Stock issued hereafter which ranks on a parity with respect to rights upon a Liquidation Event with Series A Preferred Stock are not paid in full, the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock and the Holders of such series of Preferred Stock issued hereafter which ranks on a parity with respect to rights upon a Liquidation Event shall share pro rata in the assets of the Corporation available for distribution in proportion to the full distribution thereof to which each is entitled.
(3) Distribution of Remaining Assets. After payment of the full amount to which Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled pursuant to Section 3(c) upon any Liquidation Event, Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.
(d) Preference Upon a Significant Transaction
(1) Upon any Significant Transaction, the Holders of the Corporation’s Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid in cash out of the aggregate consideration (i) payable to the Holders of Capital Stock of the Corporation upon a Merger Transaction or (ii) received by the Corporation in a Sale Transaction, as applicable, such amounts as such Holders of Series A Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive in connection with a Liquidation Event occurring at the time of such Significant Transaction pursuant to the provisions of Article FOURTH, Section 5(c) of this Certificate of Incorporation, before any payment shall be made upon shares of Common Stock. If upon such a Significant Transaction, the aggregate consideration as provided in clause (i) or (ii) above, as applicable (the “Significant Transaction Consideration”), shall be insufficient to permit payment in full to all Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the provisions of Article FOURTH, Section 5(c) of this Certificate of Incorporation, then all of the Significant Transaction Consideration shall be distributed in the manner set forth in Article FOURTH, Section 5(c) of this Certificate of Incorporation.
(2) Pursuant to any Significant Transaction, after provision is made for payment to the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock as provided in the first sentence of preceding Section 5(d)(1) of Article FOURTH, the entire remaining Significant Transaction Consideration, as applicable, shall be distributed pursuant to and in accordance with Article FOURTH, Section 4(d) of this Certificate of Incorporation.

(3) In the event that any Holder of Series A Preferred Stock, has been paid the full amount set forth in Section 5(c)(1) of Article FOURTH, pursuant to the first sentence of Section 5(d)(1) of Article FOURTH of this Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation shall thereafter have the right, at its election, and in its absolute discretion (provided that the Corporation then has legally available funds therefor), to repurchase any such share of Series A Preferred Stock upon which all amounts payable under the first sentence of Section 5(d)(1) have been paid in full, and the repurchase price of such share shall be $0.01. The Corporation may exercise its repurchase right under this Section 5(d)(3) by delivering to the Holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock which the Corporation desires to repurchase (by certified or registered mail return receipt requested or by United States mail, postage prepaid, in each case directed to the Holder at the address of such holder as it appears in the records of the Corporation), a notice stating the number of shares that the Corporation has determined to repurchase, the effective date of such repurchase and attaching a duly endorsed check for the aggregate repurchase price of such shares. The repurchase of such shares shall be effective upon the date specified in such notice by the Corporation (which date shall be at least five (5) Business Days after the date of the notice), whether or not such shares are ever surrendered to the Corporation. If so requested in the Corporation’s notice, any Holder from which the Corporation has repurchased shares of Preferred Stock in accordance with this Section 5(d)(3) shall thereafter deliver for cancellation to the Corporation at the address specified in such notice a certificate or certificates formerly representing the shares so repurchased. If the certificate or certificates so surrendered by the Holder represent in excess of the number of shares so repurchased, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to such Holder a certificate or certificates representing the number and type of shares represented by the surrendered certificate but not repurchased in accordance with this Section 5(d)(3). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Holder may convert the Series A Preferred Stock within five (5) Business Days of receipt of a notice of repurchase, in which case such shares shall not be subject to repurchase rights herein.
