read in full as follows:
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Board of Directors, upon requisite
approval of the stockholders of the Corporation, to alter the terms of the
Series D Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Participating Preferred Stock and
amend and restate the Certificate of Determination of Preferences for such
series:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. Designation and Number of Shares. There shall be hereby
created and established a series of preferred stock designated as "Series D
Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Series D Preferred
Stock"). The authorized number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be
four million one hundred eighty-eight thousand five hundred eighty-seven
(4,188,587). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have
the meanings set forth in Section 10 below.
2. Rank.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Certificate of Determination, the Series D Preferred Stock shall not be entitled
to the payment of dividends, the Series D Liquidation Payment, the Series D
Optional Redemption Price or the Series D Redemption Price until the issued and
outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall have received all
dividends, the Series E Liquidation Payment, the Series E Optional Redemption
Price and the Series E Redemption Price due and owing under the terms thereof;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of
doubt, dividends shall accrue on the Series D Preferred Stock as provided in
Section 3 below. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Series D Preferred Stock
shall with respect to the payment of the Series D Liquidation Payment in the
event of Liquidation or Change of Control and with respect to dividend and
redemption rights rank senior to (i) all classes of common stock of the
Corporation (including, without limitation, the Common Stock, par value $0.001
per share, of the Corporation (the "Common Stock")), (ii) all classes of
preferred stock of the Corporation (excluding any shares of Series E Preferred
Stock but including, without limitation, the Series C Participating Preferred
Stock, par value $0.001 per share) and (iii) each other class or series of
Capital Stock of the Corporation hereafter created which does not expressly rank
pari passu with or senior to the Series D Preferred Stock (clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii), together, the "Junior Stock").
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, the vote
of the holders of a majority of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be a
prerequisite to the designation or issuance of any shares of Capital Stock of
the Corporation ranking pari passu with or senior to the Series D Preferred
Stock in the event of a Liquidation or with respect to the payment of the Series
D Liquidation Payment.
3. Dividends.
(a) Dividend Rate. During the period beginning on the
date of issuance of such shares of Series D Preferred Stock and ending on the
Series E Closing Date, the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall
accrue dividends at an annual rate equal to eight percent (8%) of the Series D
Accreted Value, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve
30-day months, and shall accrue on a daily basis from the date of issuance of
such shares of Series D Preferred Stock until the Series E Closing Date, whether
or not the Corporation has earnings or profits, whether or not there are funds
legally available for the payment of dividends and whether or not declared by
the Board of Directors. During the period beginning on the date of issuance
thereof and ending on the Series E Closing Date, such accrued and unpaid
dividends shall compound to the Series D Accreted Value on a semi-annual basis
on December 31st and June 30th of each year (each such date, the "Series D
Accrual Date") whether or not declared by the Board of Directors. Following the
Series E Closing Date, the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall
accrue, out of funds legally available therefor, dividends at an annual rate
equal to five and three-fourths percent (5 3/4%) of the Price Per Share with
respect to each share of Series D Preferred Stock, calculated on the basis of a
360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day months, and shall accrue on a daily
basis from the Series E Closing Date, whether or not the Corporation has
earnings or profits, whether or not there are funds legally available for the
payment of dividends and whether or not declared by the Board of Directors. Such
dividends
2
shall not be paid in cash and shall instead be added to the Series D Accreted
Value on the Series D Accrual Date. If the Corporation declares and pays any
dividends on the Common Stock, then, in that event, the holders of shares of
Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to share in such dividends on a pro
rata basis, as if their shares had been converted into shares of Common Stock
pursuant to Section 7(a) below immediately prior to the record date for
determining the stockholders of the Corporation eligible to receive such
dividends.
(b) Change of Control; Optional Redemption. In the event
of the occurrence of a Change of Control or an optional redemption of the shares
of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5(a) below, the sum of (i) any
dividends accrued at the rate and in the manner specified in Section 3(a) since
the previous Series D Accrual Date and prior to the date of the occurrence of a
Change of Control or the Series D Optional Redemption Date plus (ii) any and all
dividends that would have accrued at the rate and in the manner specified in
Section 3(a) from the closing date of such Change of Control or the Series D
Optional Redemption Date through and until the Series D Automatic Redemption
Date shall be added to the Series D Accreted Value on the closing date of such
Change of Control or the Series D Optional Redemption Date, as the case may be.
(c) Other Dividends. The Corporation shall not declare or
pay any dividends on, or make any other distributions with respect to or redeem,
purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration, any other shares of Capital
Stock unless and until all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series D
Preferred Stock have been paid in full.
4. Liquidation and Change of Control.
(a) Series D Liquidation Payment. Upon the occurrence of
a Liquidation, after the payment of the full Series E Liquidation Payment of the
issued and outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock, the holders of shares
of Series D Preferred Stock shall be paid in cash for each share of Series D
Preferred Stock held thereby, out of, but only to the extent of, the assets of
the Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders, an
amount equal to greater of (i) the sum of (A) the Series D Accreted Value of
such share of Series D Preferred Stock on the date of such Liquidation plus (B)
all dividends accrued since the previous Series D Accrual Date, (ii) the product
of (x) 1.6 multiplied by (y) the Price Per Share or (iii) the aggregate
consideration that would be paid to the holder of the number of shares of Common
Stock into which such share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible
immediately prior to such Liquidation. If, after the payment of the full Series
E Liquidation Payment of the issued and outstanding shares of Series E Preferred
Stock, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders
of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment in
full to such holders of the sums which such holders are entitled to receive in
such case, then all of the assets available for distribution to holders of
shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be distributed among and paid to such
holders ratably in proportion to the amounts that would be payable to such
holders if such assets were sufficient to permit payment in full.
(b) Change of Control. In the event of a Change of
Control, after the payment of the full Series E Liquidation Payment of the
issued and outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock, the holders of shares
of Series D Preferred Stock shall be paid for each share of Series D Preferred
Stock held thereby, an amount equal to greater of (i) the sum of (A) the
3
Series D Accreted Value of such share of Series D Preferred Stock on the date of
such Change of Control plus (B) all dividends that accrue and are payable
pursuant to Section 3(b), (ii) the product of (x) 1.6 multiplied by (y) the
Price Per Share or (iii) the aggregate consideration that would be paid to the
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series D
Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to the closing of such Change
of Control. Such amount shall be paid in the form of consideration paid in such
Change of Control on the closing date of such Change of Control.
(c) Notice. Written notice of a Liquidation or Change of
Control stating a payment or payments and the place where such payment or
payments shall be payable, shall be delivered in person, mailed by certified
mail, return receipt requested, mailed by overnight mail or sent by telecopier,
not less than ten (10) days prior to the earliest payment date stated therein,
to the holders of record of shares of Series D Preferred Stock, such notice to
be addressed to each such holder at its address as shown by the records of the
Corporation.
5. Redemption.
(a) Optional Redemption.
(i) Series D Optional Redemption Period. The
Corporation shall not have any right to redeem any shares of the Series D
Preferred Stock on or prior to the third anniversary of the Series E Closing
Date. If on any date after the third anniversary of the Series E Closing Date,
but prior to the Series D Automatic Redemption Date, the average closing price
per share of the Common Stock, as reported on NASDAQ or other nationally
recognized securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock trade, for
any sixty (60) consecutive trading days after such third anniversary date,
equals or exceeds four hundred percent (400%) of the Series D Accreted Value
(the "Series D Optional Redemption Measurement Window"), the Corporation shall
have the right, at its sole option and election, to redeem (unless otherwise
prevented by law) within thirty (30) days following such Series D Optional
Redemption Measurement Window (the "Series D Optional Redemption Period"), all,
but not less than all, of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock in
cash, at a price per share (the "Series D Optional Redemption Price") equal to
the sum of the Series D Accreted Value plus all dividends that accrue and are
payable pursuant to Section 3(b).
(ii) Optional Redemption Payment. Written notice
of any election by the Corporation to redeem the shares of Series D Preferred
Stock pursuant to Section 5(a) (with a closing date prior to the expiration of
the Series D Optional Redemption Period selected for such redemption (the
"Series D Optional Redemption Date")), shall be delivered in person, mailed by
certified mail, return receipt requested, mailed by overnight mail or sent by
telecopier not less than ten (10), nor more than thirty (30), days prior to such
Series D Optional Redemption Date to the holders of record of the shares of
Series D Preferred Stock, such notice to be addressed to each such holder at its
address as shown in the records of the Corporation. The Series D Optional
Redemption Price shall be made with respect to each share of Series D Preferred
Stock by wire transfer of immediately available funds as promptly as practicable
and, in any event, within seven (7) days after receipt by the Corporation of the
Series D Preferred Stock certificates to accounts designated in writing by the
holders of such shares of Series D Preferred Stock after surrender of the Series
D Preferred Stock certificates pursuant to the following sentence. Upon
4
notice from the Corporation, each holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock
so redeemed shall promptly surrender to the Corporation, at any place where the
Corporation shall maintain a transfer agent for its shares of Series D Preferred
Stock, certificates representing the shares so redeemed, duly endorsed in blank
or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth in this Certificate of Determination, any holder of
Series D Preferred Stock may convert its shares of Series D Preferred Stock
pursuant to Section 7(a) until the Series D Optional Redemption Price has been
paid in full by the Corporation to such holder.
(iii) Termination of Rights. If shares of Series D
Preferred Stock are redeemed in full on the Series D Optional Redemption Date,
then after the Series D Optional Redemption Date, all rights of any holder of
shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, and such shares of
Series D Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding; provided,
however, that, if the Corporation defaults in the payment in full of the Series
D Optional Redemption Price, then, subject to Section 5(b), the Corporation may
not redeem the shares of Series D Preferred Stock until the next Series D
Optional Redemption Measurement Window.
(b) Automatic Redemption.
(i) Automatic Redemption Date and Payment. On
the fourth anniversary of the Series E Closing Date (the "Series D Automatic
Redemption Date"), all of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall
automatically, with no further action required to be taken by the Corporation or
the holder thereof, be redeemed (unless otherwise prevented by law) in cash, at
a redemption price per share (the "Series D Redemption Price") equal to the sum
of the Series D Accreted Value plus all dividends accrued since the previous
Series D Accrual Date. Written notice of the Series D Automatic Redemption Date
shall be delivered in person, mailed by certified mail, return receipt
requested, mailed by overnight mail or sent by telecopier not less than thirty
(30), nor more than sixty (60), days prior to the Series D Automatic Redemption
Date to the holders of record of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock, such
notice to be addressed to each such holder at its address as shown in the
records of the Corporation. The Series D Redemption Price shall be made with
respect to each share of Series D Preferred Stock by wire transfer of
immediately available funds as promptly as practicable and, in any event, within
seven (7) days after receipt by the Corporation of the Series D Preferred Stock
certificates to accounts designated in writing by the holders of such shares of
Series D Preferred Stock after surrender of the Series D Preferred Stock
certificates pursuant to the following sentence. Upon notice from the
Corporation, each holder of such shares of Series D Preferred Stock so redeemed
shall promptly surrender to the Corporation, at any place where the Corporation
shall maintain a transfer agent for its shares of Series D Preferred Stock,
certificates representing the shares so redeemed, duly endorsed in blank or
accompanied by proper instruments of transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Certificate of Determination, any holder of Series D
Preferred Stock may convert its shares of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to
Section 7(a) hereof until the Series D Redemption Price has been paid in full by
the Corporation to any such holder.
5
(ii) Termination of Rights. If the shares of
Series D Preferred Stock are redeemed in full on the Series D Automatic
Redemption Date, then after the Series D Automatic Redemption Date, all rights
of any holder of such shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall cease and
terminate, and such shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed
to be outstanding, whether or not the certificates representing such shares have
been received by the Corporation; provided, however, that, if the Corporation
defaults in the payment in full of the Series D Redemption Price, the rights of
the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall continue until the
Corporation cures such default.
(iii) Insufficient Funds for Redemption. If the
funds of the Corporation available for redemption of the shares of Series D
Preferred Stock on the Series D Automatic Redemption Date are insufficient to
redeem in full the shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of
Series D Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any funds available by law for
redemption of such shares according to the respective amounts which would be
payable with respect to the number of shares owned by them if the shares to be
so redeemed on such Series D Automatic Redemption Date were redeemed in full.
Any shares of Series D Preferred Stock that the Corporation does not redeem on
the Series D Automatic Redemption Date due to insufficient funds shall continue
to be outstanding until redeemed and dividends on such shares shall continue to
accrue and cumulate until redeemed. The Corporation shall in good faith use all
commercially reasonable efforts as expeditiously as possible to eliminate, or
obtain an exception, waiver or exemption from, any and all restrictions that
prevented the Corporation from paying the Series D Redemption Price and
redeeming all of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock. At any time thereafter
when additional funds of the Corporation are available by law for the redemption
of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock, such funds shall be used as promptly
as practicable to redeem the balance of such shares, or such portion thereof for
which funds are available, on the basis set forth above.
(c) Rank. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 5, no redemption of shares Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to
this Section 5 shall occur (i) if there are any shares of Series E Preferred
Stock issued and outstanding or (ii) unless and until the issued and outstanding
shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall have received all payments due and
owing under the terms thereof.
6. Voting Rights; Election of Directors.
(a) General. In addition to the voting rights to which
the holders of Series D Preferred Stock are entitled under or granted by
California law, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
vote, in person or by proxy, at a special or annual meeting of stockholders on
all matters entitled to be voted on by holders of shares of Common Stock voting
together as a single class with the Common Stock (and with other shares entitled
to vote thereon, if any). With respect to any such vote, each share of Series D
Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast that number of votes as
is equal to the number of votes that such holder would be entitled to cast had
such holder converted its shares of Series D Preferred Stock into shares of
Common Stock pursuant to Section 7(a) below on the record date for determining
the stockholders of the Corporation eligible to vote on any such matters.
6
(b) Directors. As long as at least 500,000 shares of
Series D Preferred Stock are outstanding, if General Atlantic Partners 74, L.P.,
GAP Coinvestment Partners II, L.P., GapStar, LLC, GAPCO GmbH & Co. KG and/or any
Affiliate thereof in the aggregate own at least a majority of the outstanding
shares of Series D Preferred Stock, then the holders of shares of Series D
Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one (1)
director of the Corporation.
(c) Elections. As long as at least 500,000 shares of
Series D Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Series D Preferred Stock shall
vote together as a single class with the Common Stock (and all other classes and
series of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, if any) with
respect to the election of all of the other directors of the Corporation other
than the director elected solely by the holders of shares of Series E Preferred
Stock pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Series E Certificate of Determination of
Preferences. If the conditions set forth in Section 6(b) necessary for the
holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock to vote as a separate class for
the election of one director are not satisfied, then the Series D Preferred
Stock shall vote together as a single class with the Common Stock (and all other
classes and series of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, if any)
with respect to the election of all of the directors of the Corporation other
than the director elected solely by the holders of shares of Series E Preferred
Stock pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Series E Certificate of Determination of
Preferences. At any meeting held for the purpose of electing directors pursuant
to Section 6(b) at a time when the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock
are entitled to vote as a separate class for the election of one director, the
presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares of
Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding shall constitute a quorum of the
Series D Preferred Stock for the election of the director to be elected solely
by the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock; the holders of shares of
Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast one vote per share of Series
D Preferred Stock in any such election; and the director to be elected
exclusively by the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be
elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Series D Preferred Stock. A vacancy in a directorship filled by the
holders of the Series D Preferred Stock voting as a separate class pursuant to
Section 6(b) shall be filled only by vote or written consent of the holders of
shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The director elected pursuant to Section
6(b) may not be removed without the consent of a majority of the holders of
shares of Series D Preferred Stock, except as otherwise provided by law.
(d) Major Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or the
By-laws of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class,
shall be a prerequisite to:
(i) any amendment, modification or restatement
of the Articles of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation, including,
without limitation, by merger, consolidation, business combination or otherwise
that is not a Change of Control;
(ii) the issuance, reservation for issuance or
authorization of any Capital Stock of the Corporation or any right or option to
acquire shares of Capital Stock ranking senior to the shares of Series D
Preferred Stock or any increase or decrease in the authorized number of shares
of Series D Preferred Stock; provided, that the Corporation may issue
7
(w) options or shares pursuant to the Stock Option Plans, (x) shares of Series E
Preferred Stock (A) upon conversion of those certain convertible promissory
notes, with an aggregate principal amount of ten million dollars ($10,000,000),
issued by the Corporation on November [___], 2003, (B) in exchange for those
certain 5 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes, due April 1, 2005, in the
principal face amount of thirty-two million seven hundred ninety-five thousand
dollars ($32,795,000), issued by the Corporation pursuant to the Corporation's
Indenture, dated March 31, 2000 and (C) issuable pursuant to agreements entered
into prior to the Series E Closing Date, (y) up to ten million (10,000,000)
shares of Series E Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to $1.50 (subject
to anti-dilution adjustment for stock splits, combinations and capital
reorganizations) (excluding the shares of Series E Preferred Stock issued or
authorized pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) above) and (z) issue of the Series
E Purchase Rights and the Rights Shares;
(iii) the redemption of any Junior Stock other
than the repurchase of unvested stock options or restricted stock from
employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Corporation upon
termination of service or in accordance with the Stock Option Plans;
(iv) any declaration, distribution or payment of
any dividend or other distribution to any Junior Stock;
(v) the issuance, incurrence, assumption or
guarantee by the Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Corporation of any funded
Indebtedness (excluding capital leases incurred in the ordinary course of
business but including the incurrence of any debt in connection with any
borrowing arrangements with Silicon Valley Bank, provided that, with respect to
the incurrence of any debt in connection with any borrowing arrangements with
Silicon Valley Bank, if the holders of Series D Preferred Stock do not respond
to a written request for consent by the Company within two Business Days of
receiving such request, such holder shall be deemed to have consented); and
(vi) any amendment to this Section 6(d).
7. Conversion.
(a) Optional Conversion. Any holder of shares of Series D
Preferred Stock shall have the right, at its option, at any time and from time
to time, to convert, subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 7, any
or all of such holder's shares of Series D Preferred Stock into such number of
fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is equal to the product
of (i) the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock being so converted
multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (x) the sum of the Series D Accreted Value
plus all dividends accrued since the previous Series D Accrual Date divided by
(y) the Series D Conversion Price, subject to adjustment as provided in Section
7(c) below. Such conversion right shall be exercised by the surrender of
certificate(s) representing the shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be
converted to the Corporation at any time during usual business hours at its
principal place of business maintained by it (or such other office or agency of
the Corporation as the Corporation may designate by notice in writing to the
holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock), accompanied by written notice
that the holder elects to convert such shares of Series D Preferred Stock and
specifying the name or names (with address) in which a certificate or
certificates for shares of
8
Common Stock are to be issued and (if so required by the Corporation) by a
written instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to
the Corporation duly executed by the holder or its duly authorized legal
representative and transfer tax stamps or funds therefor, if required pursuant
to Section 7(i) below. All certificates representing shares of Series D
Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion shall be delivered to the Corporation
for cancellation and canceled by it. As promptly as practicable after the
surrender of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock, in any event within seven
(7) days of the receipt of such certificates, the Corporation shall (subject to
compliance with the applicable provisions of federal and state securities laws)
deliver to the holder of such shares so surrendered certificate(s) representing
the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock into which
such shares are entitled to be converted. At the time of the surrender of such
certificate(s), the Person in whose name any certificate(s) for shares of Common
Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to be the holder of
record of such shares of Common Stock on such date, notwithstanding that the
share register of the Corporation shall then be closed or that the certificates
representing such Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to such
Person.
(b) Termination of Rights. On the date of such optional
conversion pursuant to Section 7(a) above all rights with respect to the shares
of Series D Preferred Stock so converted, including the rights, if any, to
receive notices and vote, shall terminate, except only the rights of holders
thereof to (i) receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock
into which such shares of Series D Preferred Stock have been converted and (ii)
exercise the rights to which they are entitled as holders of Common Stock.
(c) (i) Dividend, Subdivision, Combination or
Reclassification of Common Stock. In the event that the Corporation shall at any
time or from time to time, prior to conversion of shares of Series D Preferred
Stock (w) pay a dividend or make a distribution on the outstanding shares of
Common Stock payable in Capital Stock of the Corporation, (x) subdivide the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (y) combine
the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (z)
issue any shares of its Capital Stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock
(other than any such event for which an adjustment is made pursuant to another
clause of this Section 7(c)), then, and in each such case, the Series D
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted
(and any other appropriate actions shall be taken by the Corporation) so that
the holder of any share of Series D Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for
conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or
other securities of the Corporation that such holder would have owned or would
have been entitled to receive upon or by reason of any of the events described
above, had such share of Series D Preferred Stock been converted immediately
prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 7(c)(i) shall become effective retroactively (x) in the case of any such
dividend or distribution, to a date immediately following the close of business
on the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to
receive such dividend or distribution or (y) in the case of any such
subdivision, combination or reclassification, to the close of business on the
day upon which such corporate action becomes effective.
(ii) Certain Distributions. In case the
Corporation shall at any time or from time to time, prior to conversion of
shares of Series D Preferred Stock, distribute to all holders of shares of the
Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with
9
a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the resulting or surviving
Person and the Common Stock is not changed or exchanged) cash, evidences of
indebtedness of the Corporation or another issuer, securities of the Corporation
or another issuer or other assets (excluding cash dividends in which holders of
shares of Series D Preferred Stock participate, in the manner provided in
Section 3(c); dividends payable in shares of Common Stock for which adjustment
is made under another paragraph of this Section 7(c); and any distribution in
connection with an Excluded Transaction) or rights or warrants to subscribe for
or purchase of any of the foregoing, then, and in each such case, the Series D
Conversion Price then in effect shall be adjusted (and any other appropriate
actions shall be taken by the Corporation) by multiplying the Series D
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by
a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price of the
Common Stock immediately prior to the date of distribution less the then fair
market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in the exercise of their
fiduciary duties) of the portion of the cash, evidences of indebtedness,
securities or other assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants
applicable to one share of Common Stock and (y) the denominator of which shall
be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock immediately prior to the date of
distribution (but such fraction shall not be greater than one); provided,
however, that no adjustment shall be made with respect to any distribution of
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Corporation if
the holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock would otherwise be entitled to
receive such rights or warrants upon conversion at any time of shares of Series
D Preferred Stock into Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any
such distribution is made and shall become effective retroactively to a date
immediately following the close of business on the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(iii) Other Changes. In case the Corporation at
any time or from time to time, prior to the conversion of shares of Series D
Preferred Stock, shall take any action affecting its Common Stock similar to or
having an effect similar to any of the actions described in Sections 7(c)(i) or
(ii) above or Section 7(f) below (but not including any action described in any
such Section) and the Board of Directors in good faith determines that it would
be equitable in the circumstances to adjust the Series D Conversion Price as a
result of such action, then, and in each such case, the Series D Conversion
Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board of
Directors in good faith determines would be equitable in the circumstances (such
determination to be evidenced in a resolution, a certified copy of which shall
be mailed to the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock).
(iv) No Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, no adjustment under this Section 7(c) need be made to
the Series D Conversion Price if the Corporation receives written notice from
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock that
no such adjustment is required.
(d) Abandonment. If the Corporation shall take a record
of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive
a dividend or other distribution, and shall thereafter and before the
distribution to stockholders thereof legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver
such dividend or distribution, then no adjustment in the Series D Conversion
Price shall be required by reason of the taking of such record.
10
(e) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon any adjustment in
the Series D Conversion Price, the Corporation shall within a reasonable period
(not to exceed ten (10) Business Days) following any of the foregoing
transactions deliver to each registered holder of shares of Series D Preferred
Stock a certificate, signed by (i) the Chief Executive Officer of the
Corporation and (ii) the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation, setting
forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by
which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the increased or decreased
Series D Conversion Price then in effect following such adjustment.
