The Corporation intends to consummate the Acquisitions of the Target Companies in exchange for cash, notes and shares of series of $0.0001 par value preferred stock of the Corporation which are authorized by separate certificates of designations to be filed in the future by the Corporation (the “Acquisition Preferred Stock”).
2. Rank. As to the payment of cash dividends or a distribution of assets upon a Liquidating Event (as defined in Exhibit II), all shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall rank (a) senior to the Corporation’s Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) and any other class of securities which is specifically designated as junior to the Series B Preferred Stock (collectively, with the Common Stock, the “Junior Securities”); (b) pari passu with any then outstanding shares of the Corporation’s (i) $0.0001 par value Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), (ii) Acquisition Preferred Stock, and (iii) series of preferred stock hereafter created which expressly state, by their terms, as on parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, (collectively, the “Pari Passu Securities”); and (iii) junior to any notes, convertible securities or class or series of capital stock of the Corporation which are hereafter issued for the purpose of consummating a Private Placement Financing (as defined in Section 6.3, below) and are expressly ranked, by their terms, as senior to the Series B Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Senior Securities”).

5. Voting Rights. Except as expressly set forth to the contrary herein, the Series B Preferred Stock shall vote together (and not as a separate class) with any then outstanding shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Acquisition Preferred Stock. Each share of Common Stock will have one vote, and each then outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and other Acquisition Preferred Stock entitled to vote shall have a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into it would be converted if it were converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such vote (a “Hypothetical Conversion”). Each holder of a share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation and the DGCL. If after a Hypothetical Conversion and after aggregating all shares of Common Stock into which shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder would be converted), a holder of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock would be deemed (solely of voting purposes) to own a fractional number of shares of Common Stock, then (solely of voting purposes) the fractional number of shares of Common Stock deemed owned by such holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward).
6. Conversion.
6.1. Mandatory Conversion. Upon a occurrence of a Going Public Event (as defined in the Genesis Exchange Agreement), all, and not less than all, of the shares of Original Series B Preferred Stock (but no shares of Series B Preferred Dividend Stock which shall be fully cancelled) shall automatically (and without any further action on the part of the Corporation or any holder of Original Series B Preferred Stock) convert into the Series B Conversion Shares (as defined in Exhibit II, attached hereto) as computed immediately prior to the Going Public Event, and, thereafter, each holder of Original Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive its pro-rata portion of the Series B Conversion Shares. The pro-rata share of the Series B Conversion Shares of each holder of Original Series B Preferred Stock shall be determined by multiplying the total number of Series B Conversion Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which number of shares of Original Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the Going Public Event (excluding any issued shares of Series B Preferred Dividend Stock) and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Original Series B Preferred Stock (excluding any issued shares of Series B Preferred Dividend Stock) held by all holders of Original Series B Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Going Public Event.
6.2. Optional Conversion.
6.2.1. Time. Beginning one (1) year after the Original Issue Date or upon an earlier Liquidating Event (as defined in Exhibit II) (assuming no prior Going Public Event), each holder of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to elect to convert its shares of Series B Preferred Stock (excluding any issued shares of Series B Preferred Dividend Stock) into that number of shares of Common Stock as shall be determined by dividing the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock which the holder desires to convert by the Series B Conversion Percentage, as computed at that time.
- 3 - |
6.2.2. Information to be Provided. If the Corporation proposes a Liquidating Event, the Corporation will give the holders of Series B Preferred Stock not less than 10 days’ advance written notice of the proposed closing date or other date of proposed consummation of the Liquidating Event, which notice shall state reasonable details (including the Series B Conversion Percentage) sufficient to allow the holder to make an informed decision whether to voluntarily convert. The holder may make an election to convert by as set forth in Section 6.2.3, below, and such optional conversion shall occur immediately prior to and contingent upon the closing or completion of the Liquidating Event. If at any time the Corporation determines that the proposed Liquidating Event shall not be consummated, the Series B Preferred Stock shall not be converted and the Corporation shall return the Series B Preferred Stock to the holder.
6.2.3. Method for Optional Conversion. In order to effect an optional conversion, a holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall: (i) fax (or otherwise deliver) a copy of a fully executed notice of conversion (a “Notice of Conversion”), in the form as attached hereto as Exhibit I, to the Corporation (Attention: Secretary) and (ii) surrender or cause to be surrendered the original certificates representing the Series B Preferred Stock being converted (the “Series B Preferred Stock Certificates”), duly endorsed. Upon receipt by the Corporation of the Notice of Conversion from a holder of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall promptly send, via facsimile, a confirmation to such holder stating that the Notice of Conversion has been received, the date upon which the Corporation expects to deliver the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion and the name and telephone number of a contact person at the Corporation regarding the conversion. The Corporation shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock upon a conversion unless either the Series B Preferred Stock Certificates are delivered to the Corporation as provided above, or the holder notifies the Corporation that such Series B Preferred Stock Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and delivers the documentation to the Corporation required by Section 15.2 below.
6.3. Anti-Dilution Adjustment. In the event that, after the Original Issue Date and prior to consummation of a Going Public Event, the Corporation (a) sells any Common Stock at a price lower that the Series B Conversion Price (as then computed, including any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section) or issues (b) any Common Stock Equivalent (as defined in Exhibit II) to an unaffiliated third party in connection with a private placement at a conversion price that is lower than the Series B Conversion Price (as then computed, including any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section), then such Series B Conversion Price shall be reduced to such lower per share price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment of the Series B Conversion Price will occur upon the sale of Acquisition Preferred Stock, Common Stock or other Common Stock Equivalents if sold: (x) in connection with the acquisition of all the securities or assets of a Target Company (as defined in Section 2.2(a) below); (y) in a Going Public Event; or (z) to an unaffiliated third party in connection with a Private Placement Financing (as defined in Exhibit II), of any securities of the Corporation at an issue price equal to or greater than the Series B Conversion Price would be if then computed.

The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation.
6.5. Fractional Shares. No fractional share shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of Series B Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series B Preferred Stock by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share.
7. Limited Preemptive Right. In the event that the Corporation proposes to offer and issue additional Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to Vert or any Affiliate of Vert (other than Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents currently issued to Vert or its Affiliate, each individual holder of Series B Preferred Stock will have a preemptive right to invest in such offering and issuance to the minimum extent necessary to maintain their pro rata ownership of the Fully Diluted Common Stock; provided, however, that this preemptive right will not apply to a proposed offering or issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to be issued by the Corporation: (A) in connection with any acquisition of the securities or assets of another Target Company; (B) in a Going Public Event; or (C) to an unaffiliated third party in connection with a Private Placement Financing,.
8. Parity. The Series B Preferred Stock will have substantially identical provisions as the the Acquisition Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Acquisition Preferred Stock may have different original issue prices and conversion percentages, will not have preemptive rights and certain of them may not require the payment of a dividend.
