Section 1.Description. Six Hundred Sixty Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Seven (666,667) shares of Preferred Stock are hereby designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Stock”). Three Million (3,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock are hereby designated as “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series B Stock”). The remaining 1,333,333 shares of authorized Preferred Stock shall remain undesignated. The Series A Stock and the Series B Stock are referred to, together, as the “Senior Preferred Stock.” The Series B Stock shall, with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, dissolution, and winding-up, rank senior and prior to the Series A Stock to the extent and in the manner provided herein.
Section 2.Liquidation Rights.
(a)Treatment at Liquidation. Dissolution or Winding Up.
(i) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or consolidation, reorganization or merger of the Corporation, other than a consolidation or merger with another corporation whereby the holders of the Corporation’s capital stock immediately prior to such consolidation or merger hold not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting power of the surviving corporation immediately after such consolidation or merger (except that additional purchases by existing shareholders will not be so treated), or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation (each, a “Liquidating Event”), the holders of Senior Preferred Stock shall, subject toSection 2(a)(iii) below, be entitled to be paid first out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to holders of the Corporation’s capital stock of all classes, before payment or distribution of any of such assets to the holders of any other class of the Corporation’s capital stock, an amount equal to (A) in the case of the Series A Stock, $1.00 per share of Series A Stock (which amount shall be subject to equitable adjustment whenever there shall occur a stock dividend, distribution, combination of shares, reclassification or other similar event with respect to the Series A Stock and, as so adjusted from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as the “Series A Liquidation Price”) plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, to the extent declared, and (B) in the case of the Series B Stock, $1.00 per share of Series B Stock (which amount shall be subject to equitable adjustment whenever there shall occur a stock dividend, distribution, combination of shares, reclassification or other similar event with respect to the Series B Stock and, as so adjusted from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as the “Series B Liquidation Price”), plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, to the extent declared.
(ii) After the payment or setting apart of payment to the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock of all amounts distributable to them underSection 2(a)(i) hereof, the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock (on an as-if-converted basis) and the holders of the Common Stock, together, shall be entitled to share ratably in the remaining assets of the Corporation.
(iii) If the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to permit the payment in full to the holders of Senior Preferred Stock of all amounts distributable to them underSection 2(a)(i) hereof, then the entire assets of the Corporation available for such distribution shall be distributed first (A) ratably among the holders of Series B Stock on the basis of the Series B Liquidation Price, and then (B) ratably among the holders of Series A Stock on the basis of the Series A Liquidation Price.
3
(b)Distributions Other than Cash. Whenever the distribution provided for in thisSection 2 shall be payable in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
Section 3.Conversion. The holders of Senior Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):
(a)Right to Convert; Conversion Price. Subject to the other provisions hereof, each share of Senior Preferred Stock shall be convertible, without the payment of any additional consideration by the holder thereof and at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Senior Preferred Stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined (A) in the case of the Series A Stock, by dividing the Series A Liquidation Price by the Series A Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined) in effect at the time of conversion, and (B) in the case of the Series B Stock, by dividing the Series B Liquidation Price by the Series B Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined) in effect at the time of the conversion. The Series A Conversion Price for purposes of calculating the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion without the payment of any additional consideration by the holder of Series A Stock (the “Series A Conversion Price”) shall initially be $1.00 per share of Common Stock and shall be subject to adjustment, in order to adjust the number of shares of Common Stock into which Series A Stock is convertible, as hereinafter provided. The Series B Conversion Price for purposes of calculating the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion without the payment of any additional consideration by the holders of the Series B Stock (the “Series B Conversion Price”) shall initially be $ 1.00 per share of Common Stock and shall be subject to adjustment, in order to adjust the number of shares of Common Stock into which Series B Stock is convertible, as hereinafter provided.
(b)Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Senior Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Senior Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the name of such holder or the name or names of the nominees of such holder in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any shares of Senior Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then effective Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price (as the case may be). The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Senior Preferred Stock, or to such holder’s nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share. 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 Senior Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.
(c)Automatic Conversion.
(i) Each share of Senior Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then effective Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price (as the case may be) upon the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
4
covering the offer and sale of Common Stock for the account of the Corporation to the public at an initial public offering price per share of not less than $3.00 per share (adjusted, in the manner in which the Series A Conversion Price and Series B Conversion Price are adjusted pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof to reflect any stock dividends, distributions, combinations, reclassifications or other like transactions effected by the Corporation in respect of its Common Stock) and with net proceeds to the Corporation of not less than $10,000,000 (in the event of which offering, the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted that Preferred Stock until the closing of such offering).
(ii) Each share of Series A Stock and Series B Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then effective Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price (as the case may be) upon the written election of the holders of not less than (A) a majority in voting power of the applicable series of Senior Preferred Stock, each such series voting together as a separate class.
(iii) Upon the occurrence of an event specified in Section 3(c)(i) or (ii) hereof, as the case may be, all shares of the applicable series of Senior Preferred Stock being converted pursuant to such event (but not any other series of Senior Preferred Stock) shall be converted automatically without any further action by any holder of such shares and whether or not the certificate or certificates representing such shares arc surrendered to the Corporation or the transfer agent for the Senior Preferred Stock;provided,however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue a certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificate or certificates evidencing such shares of Senior Preferred Stock being converted are either delivered to the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Senior Preferred Stock, or the holder notifies the Corporation or such transfer agent that such certificate or certificates have been lost, stolen, or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. Upon the automatic conversion of a series Senior Preferred Stock, each holder of such series of Senior Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such holder’s shares of Senior Preferred Stock at the office of the Corporation or of the transfer agent for the Senior Preferred Stock. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder, promptly at such office and in such holder’s name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Senior Preferred Stock surrendered were convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the automatic conversion of Senior Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then effective Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price (as the case may be).
(d)Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.
(i)Special Definitions. For purposes of thisSection 3(d), the following definitions shall apply:
(A) “Option” shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire either Common Stock or Convertible Securities.
(B) “Original Issue Date” shall mean, with respect to each series of Preferred Stock, the date on which a share of such series of Preferred Stock was first issued.
(C) “Convertible Securities” shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, shares (other than Preferred Stock issued on or before the applicable Original Issue Date) or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock.
5
(D) “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean, when used with respect to a series of Senior Preferred Stock, all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to Section 3(d)(iii) below, deemed to be issued) by the Corporation after the Original Issue Date of such series, other than:
(I) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock or the exercise of Options issued on or before the applicable Original Issue Date;
(II) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable by reason of a dividend, distribution or split, subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock issued on or before the applicable Original Issue Date;
(III) up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to officers, employees of, or consultants to, or directors of, the Corporation pursuant to a stock purchase or option plan or other stock bonus arrangement (collectively, the “Employee Plans”) approved by the majority of the members of the Board of Directors that hold their directorship solely in respect of Preferred Stock (“Preferred Directors”);
(IV) shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any acquisition, merger, sale of assets or other business combination, any joint venture, strategic alliance, distribution agreement, lease or any other contract with a vendor for bona fide services or products; or
(V) shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with a nonconvertible loan having an original maturity of 12 months or less.
(ii)No Adjustment of Conversion Price. No adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of a series of Senior Preferred Stock is convertible shall be made, by adjustment in the Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price (except as may be otherwise stated in Section 3(e) hereof) in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock or otherwise, (A) unless the consideration per share for an Additional Share of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation is less than the Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price, as the case may be, in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to, the issue of such Additional Shares of Common Stock, or (B) if the Corporation receives written notice from the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of such series of Senior Preferred Stock agreeing that no such adjustment shall be made to such series as the result of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. The Corporation shall provide written notice of any such agreement to all registered holders of such series of Senior Preferred Stock.
(iii)Issues of Securities Deemed Issues of Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(A)Options and Convertible Securities. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the applicable Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of
6
such number) of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefore, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued:
(I) no further adjustment in the Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities:
(II) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the consideration payable to the Corporation, or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities;
(III) upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised, the Convertible Securities computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if:
(a) in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Common Stock, the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of Such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation upon such conversion or exchange; and
(b) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such Options, and the consideration received by the Corporation for the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Corporation (determined pursuant to Section 3(d)(v)) upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;
7
(IV) no readjustment pursuant to clause (II) or (III) above shall have the effect of increasing the Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (a) the applicable conversion price on the original adjustment date, or (b) the applicable conversion price that would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date;
(V) in the case of any Options which expire by their terms not more than 30 days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the same manner provided in clause (III) above; and
(VI) if such record date shall have been fixed and such Options or Convertible Securities are not issued on the date fixed therefor, the adjustment previously made in the Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price which became effective on such record date shall be canceled as of the close of business on such record date, and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3(d)(iii) as of the actual date of their issuance.
(B)Stock Dividends. Stock Distributions and Subdivisions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the applicable Original Issue Date shall declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock), then and in any such event. Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued:
(I) in the case of any such dividend or distribution, immediately after the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, or
(II) in the case of any such subdivision, at the close of business on the date immediately prior to the date upon which Corporation action becomes effective.
If such record date shall have been fixed and no part of such dividend shall have been paid on the date fixed therefor, the adjustment previously made for the Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price which became effective on such record date shall be canceled as of the close of business on such record date, and, thereafter, the Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3(d)(iii) as of the time of actual payment of such dividend.
(iv)Adjustment of Conversion Prices of Senior Preferred Stock Upon issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(A) In the event the Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant toSection 3(d)(iii) but excluding Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant toSection 3(d)(iii)(B), which event is dealt with inSection 3(d)(iv) hereof), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price (as the case may be) in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the
8
Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price (as the case may be) by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be (I) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus (II) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received or deemed to have been received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price (as the case may be), and the denominator of which shall be (I) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus (II) the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or deemed to be issued.
(B) For the purposes ofSection 3(d)(iv)(A) hereof, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to any issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock, or any event with respect to which Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be issued, shall be deemed to be outstanding; [Illegible] and immediately after any Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed issued pursuant toSection 3(d)(iii), such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding.
(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, [Illegible] the applicable Series A Conversion Price [Illegible] or Series B Conversion Price in effect at the time Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued or deemed to be issued shall not be reduced pursuant toSection 3(d)(iv)(A) hereof at such time if the amount of such reduction would be an amount less than $0.01, but any such amount shall be carried forward and reduction with respect thereto made at the time of and together with any subsequent reduction which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or more.
(v)Determination of Consideration. For purposes of thisSection 3(d), the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:
(A)Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:
(I) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed as the aggregate amounts of cash received by the Corporation excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;
(II) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and
(III) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (I) and (II) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(B)Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant toSection 3(d)(iii)(A), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing (I) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the
9
Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (II) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(vi)Adjustment for Dividends, Distributions, Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidations of Common Stock.
(A)Stock Dividends, Distributions or Subdivisions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date of any series of Preferred Stock shall declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock), then and in any such event the Conversion Price of such series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such stock dividend, stock distribution or subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such stock dividend, stock distribution or subdivision, he proportionately decreased.
(B)Combinations or Consolidations. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price of such series in effect immediately prior to such combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.
(e)No Impairment.

Section 3.Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):
(a)Right to Convert; Conversion Price.
(i) Subject to the other provisions hereof, each share of Series A Stock. Series A-1 Stock, Series B Stock, Series C Stock and Series C-1 Stock shall be convertible, without the payment of any additional consideration by the holder thereof, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent designated by the Corporation, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is equal to the result of (A) in the case of the Series A Stock, the Series A Liquidation Price divided by the Series A Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion, (B) in the case of the Series A-1 Stock, the Series A-1 Liquidation Price divided by the Series A-1 Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion, (C) in the case of the Series B Stock, the Series B Liquidation Price divided by the Series B Conversion Price in effect at the time of the conversion, (D) in the case of the Series C Stock, the Series C Liquidation Price divided by the Series C Conversion Price in effect at the time of the conversion, and (E) in the case of the Series C-1 Stock, the Series C-1 Liquidation Price divided by the Series C-1 Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion (each such conversion price being referred to hereafter as a “Conversion Price”).
(ii) For purposes of calculating the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion without the payment of any additional consideration by the holder thereof, (A) the Series A Conversion Price (the “Series A Conversion Price”) shall initially be $1.00, (B) the Series A-1 Conversion Price (the “Series A-1 Conversion Price”) shall initially be $1.80, (C) the Series B Conversion Price (the “Series B Conversion Price”) shall initially be $1.00, (D) the Series C Conversion Price (the “Series C Conversion Price”) shall initially be $2.936099 and (E) the Series C-1 Conversion Price (the “Series C-1 Conversion Price”) shall initially be $4.26. Each Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment, in order to adjust the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Preferred Stock is convertible, as hereinafter provided.
(b)Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, 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 such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the name of such holder or the name or names of the nominees of such holder in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then-effective Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series C-1 Conversion Price (as the case may be). The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, or to such holder’s nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share. 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 conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.
4
(c)Automatic Conversion.
(i) Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then effective Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series C-1 Conversion Price (as the case may be) upon the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock for the account of the Corporation to the public at an initial public offering price per share of not less than $3.00 per share (adjusted, in the manner in which Conversion Prices are adjusted pursuant toSection 3(d) hereof to reflect any stock dividends, distributions, combinations, reclassifications or other like transactions effected by the Corporation in respect of its Common Stock) and with net proceeds to the Corporation of not less than $10,000,000 (in the event of which offering, the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted that Preferred Stock until the closing of such offering).
(ii) Each share of Series A Stock, Series A-1 Stock, Series B Stock, Series C Stock or Series C-1 Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then-effective Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series C-1 Conversion Price (as the case may be) upon the written election of the holders of not less than a majority in voting power of the applicable series of Preferred Stock, each such series voting together as a separate class.
(iii) Upon the occurrence of an event specified inSection 3(c)(i) or (ii) hereof, as the case may be, all shares of the applicable series of Preferred Stock being converted pursuant to such event (but not any other series of Preferred Stock) shall be converted automatically without any further action by any holder of such shares and whether or not the certificate or certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or the transfer agent for the Preferred Stock;provided,however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue a certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificate or certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock being converted are either delivered to the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Preferred Stock, or the holder notifies the Corporation or such transfer agent that such certificate or certificates have been lost, stolen, or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. Upon the automatic conversion of a series Preferred Stock, each holder of such series of Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock at the office of the Corporation or of the transfer agent for the Preferred Stock. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder, promptly at such office and in such holder’s name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock surrendered were convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the automatic conversion of Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then effective Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series C-l Conversion Price (as the case may be).

The Corporation shall provide written notice of any such agreement to all registered holders of such series of Preferred Stock.

(iii)Issues of Securities Deemed Issues of Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(A)Options and Convertible Securities. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the applicable Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefore, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued:
(I) no further adjustment in a Conversion Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;
(II) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the consideration payable to the Corporation, or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities;
(III) upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised, the Convertible Securities computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if:
(a) in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Common Stock, the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation upon such conversion or exchange; and
(b) inthe case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such
7
Options, and the consideration received by the Corporation for the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Corporation (determined pursuant toSection 3(d)(v)) upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;
(IV) no readjustment pursuant to clause (II) or (III) above shall have the effect of increasing the applicable Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (a) the applicable Conversion Price on the original adjustment date, or (b) the applicable Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date;
(V) in the case of any Options which expire by their terms not more than 30 days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustment of a Conversion Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the same manner provided in clause (III) above; and
(VI) if such record date shall have been fixed and such Options or Convertible Securities are not issued on the date fixed therefore, the adjustment previously made to a Conversion Price which became effective on such record date shall be canceled as of the close of business on such record date, and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant thisSection 3(d)(iii) as of the actual date of their issuance.
(B)Stock Dividends, Stock Distributions and Subdivisions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the applicable Original Issue Date shall declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock), then and in any such event, Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued:
(I) in the case of any such dividend or distribution, immediately after the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, or
(II) in the case of any such subdivision, at the close of business on the date immediately prior to the date upon which Corporation action becomes effective.
If such record date shall have been fixed and no part of such dividend shall have been paid on the date fixed therefore, the adjustment previously made to any Conversion Price which adjustment became effective on such record date shall be canceled as of the close of business on such record date, and, thereafter, such Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to thisSection 3(d)(iii) as of the time of actual payment of such dividend.
(iv)Adjustment of Conversion Prices of Preferred Stock Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.
8
(A) In the event the Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant toSection 3(d)(iii) but excluding Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant toSection 3(d)(iii)(B), which event is dealt with inSection 3(d)(iv) hereof), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the applicable Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be (I) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus (II) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received or deemed to have been received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be (I) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus (II) the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or deemed to be issued.
(B) For the purposes ofSection 3(d)(iv)(A) hereof, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to any issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock, or any event with respect to which Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be issued, shall be deemed to be outstanding; and immediately after any Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed issued pursuant toSection 3(d)(iii), such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding.
(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued or deemed to be issued shall not be reduced pursuant toSection 3(d)(iv)(A) hereof at such time if the amount of such reduction would be an amount less than $0.01, but any such amount shall be carried forward and reduction with respect thereto made at the time of and together with any subsequent reduction which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or more.

(II) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and
(III) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (I) and (II) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
9
(B)Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant toSection 3(d)(iii)(A), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing (I) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (II) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(vi)Adjustment for Dividends, Distributions, Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidations of Common Stock.
(A)Stock Dividends, Distributions or Subdivisions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date of any series of Preferred Stock shall declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock), then and in any such event the Conversion Price of such series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such stock dividend, stock distribution or subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such stock dividend, stock distribution or subdivision, be proportionately decreased.
(B)Combinations or Consolidations. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price of such series in effect immediately prior to such combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.
(e)No Impairment. The Corporation shall not, by amendment of its Charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of thisSection 3 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 Preferred Stock against impairment.
