Section 6. Conversion.
a) Conversions at Option of Holder. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be initially convertible into such number of shares of Common Stock based on the Conversion Ratio at the option of the Holders, at any time and from time to time from and after the Original issue Date. Holders, who are eligible to convert Series C Preferred Stock, shall effect conversions by providing the Company with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”) as fully and originally executed by the Holder, together with the delivery by the Holder to the Company of the stock certificate(s) representing the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock so converted, with such stock certificates being duly endorsed in full for transfer to the Company or with an applicable stock power duly executed by the Holder in the manner and form as deemed reasonable by the transfer agent of the Common Stock. Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue, the stock certificate number and the shares of Series C Preferred Stock represented thereby which are accompanying the Notice of Conversion, and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not he prior to the date the Holder delivers such Notice of Conversion and the applicable stock certificates to the Company’s transfer agent by overnight delivery service (the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion and the Holder is eligible to convert the Series C Preferred Stock so presented, the Conversion Date shall be the Trading Day immediately following the date that such Notice of Conversion and applicable stock certificates are received by the Company’s transfer agent. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. Shares of Series C Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and may not be reissued. If the initial Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 7 or as otherwise provided herein, the Conversion Ratio shall likewise be adjusted and the new Conversion Ratio shall determined by dividing the Purchase Price Per Share by the new Conversion Price. Thereafter, subject to any further adjustments in the Conversion Price, each share of Series C. Preferred Stock shall be initially convertible into Common Stock based on the new Conversion Ratio.
b) Automatic Conversion Upon Change of Control. Subject to Section 5, all of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into the Conversion Shares upon the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the date fixed for consummation of any transaction resulting in a Change of Control of the Company (an “Automatic Conversion Event”), A “Change in Control” means a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another company or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another company or entity not controlled by the then existing stockholders of the Company in a transaction or series of transactions. The Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares unless certificates evidencing the shares of Series C Preferred Stock so converted are either delivered to the Company or its transfer agent or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent in writing that such certificates have been lost, stolen, or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. Upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6(b), the Company shall promptly send written notice thereof, by hand delivery or by overnight delivery, to the holder of record of all of the Series C Preferred Stock at its address then shown on the records of the Company, which notice shall state that certificates evidencing shares of Series C Preferred Stock must be surrendered at the office of the Company (or of its transfer agent for the Common Stock, if applicable).

d) Mechanics of Conversion
i. Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Except as otherwise set forth herein, not later than three Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those required by the Securities Act) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends (if the Company has elected or is required to pay accrued dividends in cash). The Company shall, upon request of the Holder, deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing Company performing similar functions if the Company's transfer agent has the ability to deliver shares of Common Stock in such manner.
ii. Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company's obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all, of its Series C Preferred Stock, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder of has been engaged in any violation of laws, agreement or for any other reason unless, an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Series C Preferred Stock shall have been sought and obtained. The Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
iii. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holders, not less than such number of Shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, non assessable.
5 |
iv. Fractional Shares. Upon a conversion hereunder, the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock. All fractional shares shall be carried forward and any fractional shares which remain after a Holder converts all of his or her Series C Preferred Stock shall be dropped and eliminated.
v. Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holders thereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
vi. Absolute Obligation. Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Statement of Designations shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the liquidated damages (if any) on the shares of Series C Preferred Stock at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
Section 7. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while the Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding subject to the date that this Certificate of Designations is filed: (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Series C Preferred Stock), (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be recalculated by utilizing the following formula: the existing Conversion Price multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the ease of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b) Price Adjustment. Until such time as no shares of Series C Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, except for (i) Exempt Issuances, (ii) issuances covered by Sections 7(a), 7(c) and hereof or (iii) an issuance of Common Stock upon exercise or upon conversion of convertible securities for which an adjustment has already been made pursuant to this Section 7, as to all of which this Section 7(b) does not apply, if the Company closes on the sale or issuance of Common Stock at a price, or issues warrants, options, convertible debt or equity securities with a exercise price per share or conversion price which is less than the Conversion Price then in effect (such lower sales price, conversion or exercise price, as the case may be, being referred to as the “Lower Price”), the Conversion Price in effect from and after the date of such transaction shall be reduced to the Lower Price. For purpose of determining the exercise price of warrants issued by the Company, the price, if any, paid per share for the warrants shall be added to the exercise price of the warrants.
6 |
c) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holders of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
d) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/1000th of a share, as the case may be. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any Subsidiaries. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares and shares owned by Subsidiaries, if any) actually issued and outstanding.
e) Notice to Holders.
i. Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any of this Section 7, the Company shall promptly mail to each holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. If the Company issues a variable rate security, despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be converted or exercised in the ease of a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), or the lowest possible adjustment price in the case of an MFN Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
ii. Notices of Other Events. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock or any Fundamental Transaction, (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the stock books of the Company, at least 30 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification or Fundamental Transaction; provided, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.
7 |
iii. Exempt Issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment in the Conversion Price will be made in respect of an Exempt Issuance.
iv. Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while any shares of Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then upon any subsequent conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Statement of Designations with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holder new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 7(e)(iv) and insuring that this Series C Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Statement of Designations, in the event that the agreement relating to a Fundamental Transaction provides for the conversion or exchange of the Series C Preferred Stock into equity or debt securities, cash or other consideration and the agreement is approved by the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, then the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall have only the rights set forth in such agreement.
