(ii) 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 provided in clauses (A), (B) or (C) of subsection (i) hereof, to reflect the adjusted fair market value thereof, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.
“Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any specified person, any other person that directly or indirectly controls, is under common control with, or is controlled by, such specified person and shall include without limitation any current or former limited partner, general partner, managing member, manager, officer or director of such person or any venture capital fund now or hereafter existing that is controlled by one or more general partners or managing members of, or shares the same management with, such person.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a redemption pursuant to the preceding sentence, if the Available Proceeds are not sufficient to redeem all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall (1) redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, based on the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be redeemed if the Available Proceeds were sufficient to redeem all such shares and shall redeem the remaining shares to have been redeemed as soon as practicable after the Corporation has funds legally available therefor, (2) after all of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock have been redeemed pursuant to clause (1), redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s outstanding shares of Series C1 Preferred Stock and Series C2 Preferred Stock based on the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares of Series C1 Preferred Stock and Series C2 Preferred Stock to be redeemed if the Available Proceeds were sufficient to redeem all such shares and shall redeem the remaining shares to have been redeemed as soon as practicable after the Corporation has funds legally available therefor, (3) after all of the outstanding shares of Series C1 Preferred Stock and Series C2 Preferred Stock have been redeemed pursuant to clause (2), redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, based on the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed if the Available Proceeds were sufficient to redeem all such shares and shall redeem the remaining shares to have been redeemed as soon as practicable after the Corporation has funds legally available therefor, (4) after all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been redeemed pursuant to clause (3), redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock based on the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares of Junior Preferred Stock to be redeemed if the Available Proceeds were sufficient to redeem all such shares and shall redeem the remaining shares to have been redeemed as soon as practicable after the Corporation has funds legally available therefor. The provisions of Subsection C regarding the mechanics of effecting a redemption shall apply, with such necessary changes in the details thereof as are necessitated by the context, to the redemption of the Preferred Stock pursuant to this Subsection B.8. Prior to the distribution or redemption provided for in this Subsection B.8, the Corporation shall not expend or dissipate the consideration received for such Liquidating Event, except to discharge expenses incurred in connection with such Liquidating Event or in the ordinary course of business.

If no funds or insufficient funds are legally available at the time of any Series D Redemption Date to redeem all of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock then due to be redeemed, then the Corporation shall redeem shares of Series D Preferred Stock from holders thereof pro rata based upon the aggregate Series D Redemption Price of the shares to be redeemed, and shall redeem the remaining shares to be redeemed as soon as sufficient funds are legally available. Shares of Series D Preferred Stock that are subject to redemption but that have not been redeemed and the Series D Redemption Price paid or set aside with respect thereto due to insufficient legally available funds shall continue to be entitled to the dividend, conversion and other rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such Series D Preferred Stock until such shares have been redeemed and the Series D Redemption Price has been paid or set aside thereto.

If no funds or insufficient funds are legally available at the time of any Series C Redemption Date to redeem all of the shares of Series C1 Preferred Stock and Series C2 Preferred Stock then due to be redeemed, then the Corporation shall redeem shares of Series C1 Preferred Stock and Series C2 Preferred Stock from holders thereof pro rata based upon the aggregate Series C Redemption Price of the shares to be redeemed, and shall redeem the remaining shares to be redeemed as soon as sufficient funds are legally available.

The balance of any moneys deposited by the Corporation pursuant to this Subsection C1.3 remaining unclaimed at the expiration of one (1) year following the third and final Series C Redemption Date shall thereafter be returned to the Corporation upon its request expressed in a resolution of its Board of Directors, after which the holders of such shares called for redemption shall be entitled only to receive payment of the Series C Redemption Price from the Corporation.
C2.Redemption of Series B Preferred Stock.
1. At any time on or after the later of (a) October 15, 2021 or (b) the date upon which all shares of Series D Preferred Stock, Series C1 Preferred Stock and Series C2 Preferred Stock have been redeemed or converted, to the extent all shares of Series B Preferred Stock have not been previously redeemed or converted, the holders of a majority of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding (the “Electing Series B Holders”), voting together as a separate class on as as-converted basis, may require the Corporation to redeem, subject to the provisions of this Section C2, all of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock in three (3) equal installments (each date on which such redemption occurs, a “Series BRedemption Date”); provided that the Corporation shall receive written notice (the “Series BRedemption Notice”) from the Electing Series B Holders requesting such redemption in accordance with this Section C2 and shall promptly provide a copy of the same to all other holders of Series B Preferred Stock. Promptly following receipt by the Corporation of the Series B Redemption Notice, the Electing Series B Holders and the Corporation shall set the initial Series B Redemption Date, such initial Series B Redemption Date to occur within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Corporation of the Series B Redemption Notice. The second Series B Redemption Date shall be ninety (90) days after the initial Series B Redemption Date and the third Series B Redemption Date shall be one hundred eighty (180) days after the initial Series B Redemption Date. The Corporation shall redeem such shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to the Series B Preference Amount as of the applicable Series B Redemption Date (the “Series BRedemption Price”), from any source of funds legally available therefor, until all shares of Series B Preferred Stock for which redemption has been so requested
12
have been redeemed or converted. If no funds or insufficient funds are legally available at the time of any Series B Redemption Date to redeem all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then due to be redeemed, then the Corporation shall redeem shares of Series B Preferred Stock from holders thereof pro rata based upon the aggregate Series B Redemption Price of the shares to be redeemed, and shall redeem the remaining shares to be redeemed as soon as sufficient funds are legally available. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are subject to redemption but that have not been redeemed and the Series B Redemption Price paid or set aside with respect thereto due to insufficient legally available funds shall continue to be entitled to the dividend, conversion and other rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such Series B Preferred Stock until such shares have been redeemed and the Series B Redemption Price has been paid or set aside thereto. The Corporation shall not redeem, purchase or acquire for value any shares of Junior Preferred Stock unless it first redeems all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, Series C1 Preferred Stock, Series C2 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock.
2. At least twenty (20) calendar days prior to each Series B Redemption Date, written notice (the “Company Series B Redemption Notice”) shall be mailed, postage prepaid, by the Corporation to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Series B Redemption Date at its post office address last shown on the records of the Corporation, specifying the Series B Redemption Date, the Series B Redemption Price, the place at which payment may be obtained and the date on which such holder’s conversion rights as to such shares terminate, 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 of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the next Series B Redemption Date. On a Series B Redemption Date, the Series B Redemption Price of such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be cancelled. From and after a Series B Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment of the Series B Redemption Price, all dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock redeemed on such Series B Redemption Date shall cease to accrue, all rights of the holders of such shares as holders of the Series B Preferred Stock of the Corporation (except the right to receive the Series B Redemption Price 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. Each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Series B Redemption Date shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares to the Corporation at the Corporation’s principal executive office on or before the applicable Series B Redemption Date, and thereupon the Corporation shall pay the Series B Redemption Price for such shares to be paid as described in Subsection C2.1 in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to an account designated by the holder of such shares or by certified or bank check payable to the order of such holder. Each stock certificate surrendered for redemption shall be canceled and retired.
3. On or prior to each Series B Redemption Date, the Corporation shall deposit the Series B Redemption Price of all shares of the Series B Preferred Stock designated for redemption in the Company Series B Redemption Notice and not yet converted with a bank or trust company having aggregate capital and surplus in excess of $25,000,000 as a trust fund for the benefit of the holders of the shares designated for redemption. Any moneys deposited by
13
the Corporation pursuant to this Subsection C2.3 for the redemption of shares that are thereafter converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section E or Section G hereof shall be returned to the Corporation forthwith upon such conversion. The balance of any moneys deposited by the Corporation pursuant to this Subsection C2.3 remaining unclaimed at the expiration of one (1) year following the third and final Series B Redemption Date shall thereafter be returned to the Corporation upon its request expressed in a resolution of its Board of Directors, after which the holders of such shares called for redemption shall be entitled only to receive payment of the Series B Redemption Price from the Corporation.

If no funds or insufficient funds are legally available at the time of any Junior Redemption Date to redeem all of the shares of Junior Preferred Stock then due to be redeemed, then the Corporation shall redeem shares of Junior Preferred Stock from holders thereof pro rata based upon the aggregate Junior Redemption Price of the shares to be redeemed, and shall redeem the remaining shares to be redeemed as soon as sufficient funds are legally available. Shares of Junior Preferred Stock that are subject to redemption but that have not been redeemed and the Junior Redemption Price paid or set aside with respect thereto due to insufficient legally available funds shall continue to be entitled to the dividend, conversion and other rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such Junior Preferred Stock until such shares have been redeemed and the Junior Redemption Price has been paid or set aside thereto.
2. At least twenty (20) calendar days prior to each Junior Redemption Date, written notice (the “Company Junior Redemption Notice”) shall be mailed, postage prepaid, by the Corporation to each holder of Junior Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Junior
14
Redemption Date at its post office address last shown on the records of the Corporation, specifying the Junior Redemption Date, the Junior Redemption Price, the place at which payment may be obtained and the date on which such holder’s conversion rights as to such shares terminate, 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 of Junior Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the next Junior Redemption Date. On a Junior Redemption Date, the Junior Redemption Price of such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be cancelled.

Each holder of shares of Junior Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Junior Redemption Date shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares to the Corporation at the Corporation’s principal executive office on or before the applicable Junior Redemption Date, and thereupon the Corporation shall pay the Junior Redemption Price for such shares to be paid as described in Subsection C3.1 in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to an account designated by the holder of such shares or by certified or bank check payable to the order of such holder.

Any moneys deposited by the Corporation pursuant to this Subsection C3.3 for the redemption of shares that are thereafter converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section E or Section G hereof shall be returned to the Corporation forthwith upon such conversion. The balance of any moneys deposited by the Corporation pursuant to this Subsection C3.3 remaining unclaimed at the expiration of one (1) year following the third and final Junior Redemption Date shall thereafter be returned to the Corporation upon its request expressed in a resolution of its Board of Directors, after which the holders of such shares called for redemption shall be entitled only to receive payment of the Junior Redemption Price from the Corporation.
D.Voting.
1.General Rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, the holder of each share of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock could then be converted and shall have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock (except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, voting together with the Common Stock as a single class) and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation.

(vii) authorize, declare or pay any dividend or distribution on any shares of capital stock other than the Preferred Stock;

17
3.Election of Directors. The number of directors of the Corporation shall be set in accordance with the Corporation’s Bylaws. At each meeting of the stockholders held for the election of directors, or upon the taking of a written consent of stockholders for such purpose, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled, voting as a separate class, to elect six (6) members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The remaining directors of the Corporation shall be elected by the holders of the Preferred Stock and Common Stock, voting together as a single class. In the case of any vacancy (other than a vacancy caused by removal by vote of the stockholders in accordance with applicable law) in the office of a director occurring among the directors elected by the holders of a class of stock (if any) pursuant to this Subsection D.3, the remaining directors so elected by that class may, by affirmative vote of a majority thereof (or the remaining director so elected if there be but one, or if there are no such directors remaining, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of that class), elect a successor or successors to hold office for the unexpired term of the director or directors whose place or places shall be vacant. Any director who shall have been elected by the holders of a class of stock (if any) or by any directors so elected as provided in the immediately preceding sentence hereof may be removed during the aforesaid term of office, either with or without cause, by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the class of stock entitled to elect such director or directors in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation, 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 a majority of that class of stock represented at a meeting or pursuant to written consent.
E.Conversion Rights.
Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the issuance of such share, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Corporation. The number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of the Preferred Stock may be converted shall be determined by dividing the Series 1 Original Price, Series 2 Original Price, Series A Original Price, Series B Original Price, Series C1 Original Price, Series C2 Original Price or Series D Original Price, as applicable, by the Series 1 Conversion Price, Series 2 Conversion Price, Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C1 Conversion Price, Series C2 Conversion Price or Series D Conversion Price, respectively (determined as hereinafter provided), in effect at the time of the conversion.
1.Conversion Price. Before any adjustment is required pursuant to Section F hereof, (i) the conversion price of the Series 1 Preferred Stock (the “Series 1 Conversion Price”) shall be equal to $1.63 (ii) the conversion price of the Series 2 Preferred Stock (the “Series 2 Conversion Price”) shall be equal to $2.44, (iii) the conversion price of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Conversion Price”) shall be equal to $2.44, (iv) the conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Conversion Price”) shall be equal to $2.80, (v) the conversion price of the Series C1 Preferred Stock (the “Series C1 Conversion Price”) shall be equal to $2.80; (vi) the conversion price of the Series C2 Preferred Stock (the “Series C2 Conversion
18
Price”) shall be equal to $6.82; and (vii) the conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock (the “Series D Conversion Price”) shall be $9.06 (the Series D Conversion Price, together with the Series 1 Conversion Price, Series 2 Conversion Price, Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C1 Conversion Price and the Series C2 Conversion Price, each a “Conversion Price”).
2.Mechanics of Conversion. The holder of any shares of Preferred Stock may exercise the conversion rights as to such shares or any part thereof by delivering to the Corporation during regular business hours, at the office of any transfer agent of the Corporation for the Preferred Stock, or at the principal office of the Corporation or at such other place as may be designated by the Corporation, the certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted, duly endorsed for transfer to the Corporation or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer (if required by it), accompanied by written notice stating that the holder elects to convert all or a number of such shares represented by the certificate or certificates. Such notice shall also state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date when such delivery is made, and such date is referred to herein as the “Conversion Date”. As promptly as practicable thereafter the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder, at such office or other place designated by the Corporation, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled and a check for cash with respect to any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock as provided in Subsection E.3 below. The holder shall be deemed to have become a stockholder of record on the applicable Conversion Date. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares of Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered for conversion, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to the holder of the certificate so surrendered for conversion, at the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Preferred Stock representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered.
3.Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at any one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock so surrendered. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest equal to the fair market value of such fractional interest as determined in good faith by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.
4.Payment of Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Preferred Stock pursuant hereto. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the Preferred Stock so converted was registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.
19
5.Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all Preferred Stock from time to time outstanding. The Corporation shall from time to time use its best effort to obtain necessary director and stockholder approvals, in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, to increase the authorized amount of its Common Stock if at any time the authorized amount of its Common Stock remaining unissued shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all of the shares of Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, and shall take all such actions as are necessary to increase such authorized amount of Common Stock upon obtaining such approvals. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock below the then-par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion such series of Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.
6.Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for in Subsection F.1), then and in each such event the holder of each share of Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, or change.
7.Reorganizations, Mergers or Consolidations. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another corporation (other than a consolidation, merger or sale treated as a Liquidating Event pursuant to Subsection B.3 above), each share of Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property that a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation deliverable upon conversion of Preferred Stock would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger or sale; and in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions of Sections E and F with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holders of Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in Sections E and F shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of Preferred Stock.
8.Listing of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of shares of Preferred Stock require registration or listing with, or approval of, any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise, before such shares may
20
be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Corporation will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.
9.Valid Issuance. All shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock will upon issuance by the Corporation be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.
10.No Dilution or Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of this Certificate of Incorporation 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 will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions of Sections E and F and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock against impairment.
F.Adjustment of Conversion Price.
The Conversion Prices of the Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows.
1.Stock Splits, Dividends and Combinations. In case the Corporation shall at any time subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock or shall issue a dividend in Common Stock on its outstanding Common Stock without a corresponding subdivision of or dividend on the Preferred Stock, each Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or the issuance of such dividend shall each be proportionately decreased, and in case the Corporation shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock without a corresponding combination of the Preferred Stock, each Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall each be proportionately increased, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, dividend or combination, as the case may be.
2.Noncash Dividends, Stock Purchase Rights, Capital Reorganizations and Dissolutions. In case:
(a) the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or any other distribution, payable otherwise than in cash; or
(b) the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or to receive any other rights; or
21
(c) of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock), consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another person that is not a Liquidating Event or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another person that is not a Liquidating Event;
then, and in any such case, the Corporation shall cause to be mailed to the transfer agent for the Preferred Stock and to the holders of record of the outstanding Preferred Stock, at least ten (10) days prior to the date hereinafter specified, a notice stating the date on which (i) a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or (ii) such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
3.Issuances at Less than the Conversion Price. From and after the date of filing of this Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, upon the issuance or sale by the Corporation of:
(a) Common Stock for a consideration per share less than a Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale; or
(b) any Stock Purchase Rights where the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock may at any time thereafter be issuable upon exercise thereof (or, in the case of Stock Purchase Rights exercisable for the purchase of Convertible Securities, upon the subsequent conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities) shall be less than a Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the issue or sale of such Stock Purchase Rights; or
(c) any Convertible Securities where the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock may at any time thereafter be issuable pursuant to the terms of such Convertible Securities shall be less than a Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities;
other than an issuance of Common Stock pursuant to Subsections F.1, F.6 or F.7 hereof (any such issuance shall be referred to hereinafter as a “Dilutive Issuance”), then forthwith upon such issue or sale, such Conversion Price shall be reduced concurrently with such issue in order to increase the number of shares of Common Stock into which the applicable series of Preferred Stock is convertible to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by the following formula:
where:
| | | | |
CP1 | | = | | the Conversion Price as so adjusted to reflect the Dilutive Issuance; |
22
| | | | |
CP | | = | | the former Conversion Price immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance; |
| | |
N | | = | | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance (or deemed issuance) assuming exercise or conversion of all outstanding securities exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock; |
| | |
C | | = | | the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received or deemed to be received by the Corporation for the total number of additional securities so issued or deemed to be issued would purchase if the purchase price per share were equal to the then existing Conversion Price; |
| | |
AS | | = | | the number of shares of Common Stock so issued or deemed to be issued. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Conversion Price shall at such time be reduced if such reduction would be an amount less than $0.01, but any such amount shall be carried forward and deduction with respect thereto made at the time of and together with any subsequent reduction that, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or more.
4.Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section F, the following provisions will be applicable.
(a) “Convertible Securities” shall mean evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock (including, without limitation, the Preferred Stock) or other securities that are, directly or indirectly, convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, with or without payment of additional consideration, shares of the Corporation’s capital stock, including Common Stock.
(b) “Stock Purchase Rights” shall mean any warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities.
(c) Convertible Securities and Stock Purchase Rights shall be deemed outstanding and issued or sold at the time of such issue or sale.
5.Determination of Consideration. The aggregate consideration received or deemed to be received by the Corporation for the issuance, sale, grant or assumption of shares of Common Stock, Stock Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities, irrespective of the accounting treatment of such consideration, shall be valued as follows:
(a) in the case of cash, the net amount received by the Corporation after deduction of any accrued interest or dividends and before deducting any expenses paid or incurred and any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Corporation in connection with such issue or sale;
23
(b) in the case of consideration other than cash, the value of such consideration, which shall not include the value of any Convertible Securities being converted or exchanged, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation in good faith, after deducting any accrued interest or dividends; and
(c) with respect to the issuance of Stock Purchase Rights and Convertible Securities, the total consideration, if any, received by the Corporation as consideration for the issuance of the Stock Purchase Rights or the Convertible Securities, as the case may be, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Stock Purchase Rights or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, as the case may be, in each case after deducting any accrued interest or dividends.
In the event of any change in (i) the consideration, if any, payable upon exercise of any Stock Purchase Rights or upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or (ii) the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, each Conversion Price as computed upon the original issue thereof shall forthwith be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect at such time had such Stock Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. On the expiration of any Stock Purchase Rights not exercised or of any right to convert or exchange under any Convertible Securities not exercised, each Conversion Price then in effect shall forthwith be increased to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect at the time of such expiration had such Stock Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities never been issued. No readjustment of any Conversion Price pursuant to this paragraph shall (A) increase such Conversion Price by an amount in excess of the adjustment originally made to such Conversion Price in respect of the issue, sale or grant of the applicable Stock Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities, or (B) require any adjustment to the amount paid or number of shares of Common Stock received by any holder of Preferred Stock upon any conversion of any share of Preferred Stock prior to the date upon which such readjustment to such Conversion Price shall occur.
6.Exclusions for Adjustment for Issuances at Less than the Conversion Price. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall not be required to make any adjustment of any Conversion Price in the case of: (a) the issuance or sale of shares or options to purchase such number of shares, or a combination of both, of the Common Stock to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Corporation pursuant to stock options or stock purchase plans or agreements, whether “qualified” for tax purposes or not, pursuant to plans or arrangements approved by the Board of Directors; (b) the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock; (c) the issuance of shares of capital stock by way of dividend or similar distribution on the Preferred Stock; (d) shares of Common Stock issued in a Qualified Public Offering; (e) the issuance of shares of capital stock, Convertible Securities or Stock
24
Purchase Rights issued pursuant to leasing, financing or other lending arrangements approved by a majority of the directors appointed by the holders of Preferred Stock (or, if no such directors are then in office, by the Requisite Preferred Stockholders); and (f) the issuance of any shares of capital stock, Convertible Securities or Stock Purchase Rights if the Requisite Preferred Stockholders waive any adjustment to the Conversion Prices (or any affected Conversion Price) pursuant to this Section F in connection with such issuance.
7. No Adjustment of Conversion Price. No adjustment in the Conversion Price for any series of Preferred Stock shall be made as the result of the issuance or sale of Common Stock, Stock Purchase Rights and/or Convertible Securities if the Corporation receives written notice from the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of such series of Preferred Stock agreeing that no such adjustment shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance or sale of Common Stock, Stock Purchase Rights and/or Convertible Securities.
8.Certificate of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of any Conversion Price pursuant to this Section F, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms thereof, and prepare and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock affected thereby 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 notice at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (a) such adjustment or readjustment, (b) the 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 such holder’s shares.
G.Mandatory Conversion.
1. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then-applicable conversion rate upon the occurrence of a closing of an 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 of the Corporation with gross proceeds of $50,000,000or more (without accounting for any underwriters discounts or commissions) (a “Qualified Public Offering”). In addition, each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then applicable conversion rate upon the affirmative vote of the Requisite Preferred Stockholders.
2. Upon the occurrence of either of the events specified in Subsection G.1 above, the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such 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 with such certificates. Upon the
25
occurrence of such automatic conversion of the Preferred Stock, the holders of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder promptly at such office and in its 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 the Preferred Stock surrendered were convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred.
3. Upon the automatic conversion of any Preferred Stock pursuant to Subsection G.1 above, all such converted Preferred Stock shall be deemed retired and shall be cancelled and may not under any circumstances thereafter be reissued or otherwise disposed of by the Corporation.
