Taronis Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), does hereby certify that, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) by the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company, and pursuant to the provisions of the DGCL, the Board adopted resolutions (i) designating a series of the Company’s previously authorized preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and (ii) providing for the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of forty thousand (40,000) shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, as follows:

 

RESOLVED, that the Company is authorized to issue forty thousand (40,000) shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series H Preferred Shares”), which shall have the following powers, designations, preferences and other special rights:

 

(1) RANKING. The Series H Preferred Shares shall rank prior and superior to all of the Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Company, except the Company’s Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series G Preferred Shares”), with respect to the preferences as to dividends (other than pursuant to TRNF Spin-Off), distributions and payments upon a Liquidation Event (such stock being referred to hereinafter collectively as “Junior Stock”). The rights of the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, except for the Series G Preferred Shares, shall be of junior rank to and subject to the preferences and relative rights of the Series H Preferred Shares. The Series G Preferred Shares shall rank equal to the Series H Preferred Shares with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon a Liquidation Event (the Series G Preferred Shares and such other stock, if any, ranking equal to the Series H Preferred Shares as to dividends, distributions and payments upon a Liquidation Event being referred to hereinafter collectively as “Pari Passu Stock”).

 

(2) PAYMENTS OF STATED VALUE; PREPAYMENT. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Series H Preferred Shares were issued at an original issue discount. On each Installment Date, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount equal to the Installment Amount due on such Installment Date in accordance with Section 9. If any Series H Preferred Shares remain outstanding on the Maturity Date after giving effect to any Company Conversions and Company Redemptions occurring on such date in accordance with Section 9, the Company shall redeem such Series H Preferred Shares in cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Amount (as defined in Section 5(b)) for each such Series H Preferred Share. The “Maturity Date” shall be [●], 20211 (the “Initial Scheduled Maturity Date”), as (i) shall be extended to [●], 20222 (the “Extended Scheduled Maturity Date” and as applicable with the Initial Scheduled Maturity Date, the “Scheduled Maturity Date”) in the event that the Company, directly or through its current or former Subsidiary, Taronis Fuel, Inc., receives non-refundable deposits of not less than $4,500,000 pursuant to the Turkish Contract and (ii) may be extended at the option of each Holder (x) in the event that, and for so long as, a Triggering Event (as defined in Section 6(a)) shall have occurred and be continuing on the Maturity Date (as may be extended pursuant to this Section 2) or any event shall have occurred and be continuing on the Maturity Date (as may be extended pursuant to this Section 2) that with the passage of time and the failure to cure would result in a Triggering Event, (y) through the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the consummation of a Change of Control in the event that a Change of Control is publicly announced or a Change of Control Notice (as defined in Section 7(b)) is delivered prior to the Maturity Date and (z) to such date elected by any Holder pursuant to a Deferral Notice in accordance with Section 9(d) in the event such Holder elects to submit such a Deferral Notice electing to defer the last Installment Date hereunder beyond the Scheduled Maturity Date. Other than as specifically permitted by this Certificate of Designations, the Company may not prepay any portion of the outstanding Stated Value, accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, or accrued and unpaid Late Charges (as defined in Section 25(b)) on Stated Value and dividends, if any.

2 Insert the last Business Day of the calendar month that is thirty-six (36) months immediately following the Issuance Date.

 

   
 

 

(3) LIQUIDATION.

 

(a) Preferential Payment to Holders. In the event of a Liquidation Event, holders of Series H Preferred Shares (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its stockholders (the “Liquidation Funds”) upon such Liquidation Event, but before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any Junior Stock, an amount per Series H Preferred Share equal to the Conversion Amount; provided that, if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the Holders and holders of Pari Passu Stock, if any, then each Holder and each holder of any such Pari Passu Stock shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder as a liquidation preference, in accordance with their respective Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights, as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all holders of Series H Preferred Shares and Pari Passu Stock.

 

(b) Distribution of Remaining Assets. After the foregoing distributions, the Holders shall be entitled, on a pari passu basis with the holders of Common Stock and treating for the purpose thereof all of the Series H Preferred Shares as having been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 5, to participate in the distribution of any remaining assets of the Company to the holders of the outstanding Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion). To the extent necessary, the Company shall cause such actions to be taken by any of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this Section. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Company to the holders of Junior Stock in connection with a Liquidation Event as to which this Section applies.

 

   
 

 

(c) Maximum Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a Holder’s right to participate in any liquidation pursuant to this Section 3 would result in such Holder and such Holder’s other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, if applicable, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such liquidation to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such liquidation (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and the portion of such liquidation shall be held in abeyance for such Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, if applicable, at which time or times such Holder shall be granted such rights (and any rights under this Section 3 to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation.

 

(4) DIVIDENDS.

 

(a) Except for the TRNF Spin-Off (as defined below), from and after the first date of issuance of any Series H Preferred Shares (the “Issuance Date”), the Holders shall be entitled to receive dividends per Series H Preferred Share when, as and if declared by the Board. In addition, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Triggering Event, dividends shall accrue hereunder at eighteen percent (18.0%) per annum (the “Default Rate”) and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months and shall be payable, if applicable, in arrears on the last Business Day of any Calendar Quarter during which dividends accrue hereunder (a “Dividend Date”) to the record holder of the Series H Preferred Shares in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions provided by the Holders in writing to the Company. Accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, shall also be payable prior to a Dividend Date by way of inclusion of the dividends in the Conversion Amount (as defined in Section 5(b)(i)) on each (i) Conversion Date (as defined in Section 5(c)(i)) in accordance with Section 5(c)(i) and/or (ii) upon any redemption hereunder occurring prior to the Maturity Date. In the event that an Triggering Event is subsequently cured (and no other Triggering Event then exists (including, without limitation, for the Company’s failure to pay such dividends at the Default Rate on the Maturity Date)), dividends shall cease to accrue hereunder as of the calendar day immediately following the date of such cure; provided that the dividends as calculated and unpaid during the continuance of such Triggering Event shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Triggering Event through and including the date of such cure of such Triggering Event; provided, further, that for the purpose of this Section 4, such Triggering Event shall not be deemed cured unless and until any accrued and unpaid dividends shall be paid to the Holders.

 

   
 

 

(b) In addition to the dividends, if any, referred to in Section 4(a), and excepting any dividends pursuant to the TRNF Spin-Off, from and after the Issuance Date, the Holders shall be entitled to receive such dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if such Holders had converted the Series H Preferred Shares into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion) and had held such shares of Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividends or distribution to the holders of Common Stock. Following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event and the payment in full to a Holder of its applicable liquidation preference as set forth in Section 3 above, such Holder shall cease to have any rights hereunder to participate in any future dividends or distributions made to the holders of Common Stock. Except pursuant to the TRNF Spin-Off, the Company shall not declare or pay any dividends on any Junior Stock or Pari Passu Stock unless the Holders of Series H Preferred Shares then outstanding shall simultaneously receive dividends on a pro rata basis as if the Series H Preferred Shares had been converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5 immediately prior to the record date for determining the stockholders eligible to receive such dividends (without regard to any limitations on conversion). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a Holder’s right to participate in any such dividends or distribution pursuant to this Section 4 would result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such dividends or distribution to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such dividends or distribution (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and the portion of such dividends or distribution shall be held in abeyance for such Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times such Holder shall be granted such rights (and any rights under this Section 4 on such initial rights or on any subsequent such rights to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation.

 

(5) CONVERSION OF SERIES H PREFERRED SHARES. At any time or times after the Issuance Date, the Series H Preferred Shares shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5.

 

(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(d), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, any Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 5(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.

 

   
 

 

(b) Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 5(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”).

 

(i) “Conversion Amount” means the sum of (A) the portion of the Stated Value to be converted, amortized, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made, (B) accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, with respect to such Stated Value and (C) accrued and unpaid Late Charges, if any, with respect to such Stated Value and dividends.

 

(ii) “Conversion Price” means, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, $1.50, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

(c) Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(i) Optional Conversion. To convert Series H Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock on any date on or following the Issuance Date (each a “Conversion Date”), a Holder shall (A) deliver on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (a “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B) if required by Section 5(c)(iv), but without delaying the Company’s requirement to deliver shares of Common Stock on the applicable Share Delivery Date (as defined below), surrender the original certificates representing the Series H Preferred Shares, if any (the “Series H Preferred Stock Certificates”) being converted to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable on or following such date (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to such Series H Preferred Stock Certificates in the case of its loss, theft, destruction or mutilation in compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 27). In lieu of indicating the portion of the Conversion Amount that a Holder elects to convert, such Holder may indicate in a Conversion Notice the number of shares of Common Stock it seeks to receive upon conversion of any portion of such Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares and the reduction of the Conversion Amount pursuant to such conversion shall be determined at the end of such Conversion Date by multiplying such number of shares of Common Stock by the applicable Conversion Price. No ink-original Conversion Notice shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Conversion Notice be required.

 

   
 

 

(ii) Company’s Response. On or before the first (1st) Business Day following the date of delivery of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit via electronic mail a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the applicable Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”). On or before the earlier of (i) the second (2nd) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period, in each case, following the date on which a Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice to the Company (a “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (x) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled to such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian system or (y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of such Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled. If the number of Series H Preferred Shares represented by the Series H Preferred Stock Certificate(s) submitted for conversion, as required by Section 5(c)(iv), is greater than the number of Series H Preferred Shares being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Series H Preferred Stock Certificate(s) (the “Preferred Stock Delivery Date”) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder a new Series H Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of Series H Preferred Shares not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Series H Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the applicable Conversion Date, irrespective of the date such Conversion Shares are credited to such Holder’s account with DTC or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Conversion Shares, as the case may be. In the event that a Holder elects to convert a portion of the Conversion Amount of such Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares prior to any applicable Installment Date, the Conversion Amount so converted shall be deducted in reverse order starting from the final Installment Amount to be paid hereunder to such Holder on the final Installment Date, unless such Holder otherwise indicates and allocates among any Installment Dates hereunder in the applicable Conversion Notice.

 

   
 

 

(iii) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date to issue and deliver a certificate to a Holder, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (a “Conversion Failure”), then (A) the Company shall pay damages to such Holder for each Trading Day of such Conversion Failure in an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of (1) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to such Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which such Holder is entitled, and (2) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by such Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Conversion Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Date and (B) such Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of such Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 5(c)(iii) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if the Company shall fail on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date to issue and deliver a certificate to a Holder, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount or on any date of the Company’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock as contemplated pursuant to clause (y) below, and if on or after such Trading Day such Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that such Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days after such Holder’s request and in such Holder’s discretion, either (x) pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to such Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to issue and deliver such certificate or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of the applicable Conversion Amount shall terminate, or (y) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to such Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for such shares of Common Stock and pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed.

 

   
 

 

(iv) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of Series H Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, a Holder shall not be required to physically surrender the certificate representing the Series H Preferred Shares to the Company unless (A) the full or remaining number of Series H Preferred Shares represented by the certificate are being converted or (B) a Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of Series H Preferred Shares upon physical surrender of any Series H Preferred Shares. Each Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Series H Preferred Shares so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holders and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of the certificate representing the Series H Preferred Shares upon each such conversion. If the Company does not update its records to record such Stated Value, dividends and Late Charges converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) within two (2) Business Days of such occurrence, then the Company’s records shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such occurrence. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company establishing the number of Series H Preferred Shares to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Series H Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted as aforesaid, a Holder may not transfer the certificate representing the Series H Preferred Shares unless such Holder first physically surrenders the certificate representing the Series H Preferred Shares to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new certificate of like tenor, registered as such Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining number of Series H Preferred Shares represented by such certificate. A Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Series H Preferred Shares, the number of Series H Preferred Shares represented by such certificate may be less than the number of Series H Preferred Shares stated on the face thereof. Each certificate for Series H Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend:

 

ANY TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SERIES H PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 5(c)(iv) THEREOF. THE NUMBER OF SERIES H PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF SERIES H PREFERRED SHARES STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 5(c)(iv) OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SERIES H PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.

 

(v) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder and/or holder of Pari Passu Stock for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such Series H Preferred Shares and Pari Passu Stock submitted for conversion, the Company, subject to Section 5(d), shall convert from each Holder and holder of Pari Passu Stock electing to have Series H Preferred Shares converted on such date, a pro rata amount of such Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares and such holder’s Pari Passu Stock submitted for conversion based on the sum of the Stated Value of Series H Preferred Shares and the stated value of the Pari Passu Stock submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder and/or holder relative to the sum of the Stated Value of all Series H Preferred Shares and the stated value of all Pari Passu Stock submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Series H Preferred Shares, the Company shall issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 24.

 

   
 

 

(d) Beneficial Ownership Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations, and no Holder shall not have the right to any shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations and such issuance shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance, such Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or 9.99%, as the Buyers shall have indicated on their respective signature pages attached to the Securities Purchase Agreement or as any subsequent transferee of Series H Preferred Shares indicates in a written notice to the Company (as applicable, the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Holder and its other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Shares with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted Series H Preferred Shares beneficially owned by such Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including the Warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 5(d). For purposes of this Section 5(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock a Holder may acquire upon the conversion of Series H Preferred Shares without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, such Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives a Conversion Notice from a Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify such Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause such Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 5(d), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, such Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such Conversion Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of any Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Series H Preferred Shares, by such Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to a Holder upon conversion of such Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares results in such Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which such Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and such Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, any Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder and its other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Series H Preferred Shares that is not an Attribution Party of such Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to the Series H Preferred Shares in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by a Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 5(d) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 5(d) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of Series H Preferred Shares.

 

   
 

 

(e) Adjustments to Conversion Price. The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 5(e).

 

(i) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend (other than pursuant to the TRNF Spin-Off), recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 5(e)(i) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

(ii) Voluntary Adjustment by Company. Subject to the prior approval of the Principal Market, or if the Principal Market is not as of the applicable date of determination the principal trading market of the Common Stock, such other applicable Eligible Market that then serves as the principal trading market of the Common Stock, the Company may at any time, with the prior written consent of the Required Holders, reduce the then current Conversion Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board.

(ix) a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money aggregating in excess of $100,000 are rendered against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and which judgments are not, within sixty (60) days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within sixty (60) days after the expiration of such stay; provided, however, that any judgment which is covered by insurance or an indemnity from a credit worthy party shall not be included in calculating the $100,000 amount set forth above so long as the Company provides the Holders a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider (which written statement shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holders) to the effect that such judgment is covered by insurance or an indemnity and the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) will receive the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within thirty (30) days of the issuance of such judgment;

 

(x) other than as specifically set forth in another clause of this Section 6(a), the Company or any of its Subsidiaries breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction Document, except, in the case of a breach of a covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction Document which is curable, only if such breach remains uncured for a period of five (5) consecutive Business Days;

 

(xi) any breach or failure in any respect to comply with either Sections 15 or 16 of this Certificate of Designations;

 

   
 

 

(xii) any material damage to, or loss, theft or destruction of, any material amount of property of the Company, whether or not insured, or any strike, lockout, labor dispute, embargo, condemnation, act of God or public enemy, or other casualty which causes, for more than fifteen (15) consecutive days, the cessation or substantial curtailment of revenue producing activities at any facility of the Company or any Subsidiary, if any such event or circumstance would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(xiii) a false or inaccurate certification (including a false or inaccurate deemed certification) by the Company that the Equity Conditions are satisfied or that there has been no Equity Conditions Failure or as to whether any Triggering Event has occurred;

 

(xiv) any Material Adverse Effect occurs; or

 

(xv) the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day following the Issuance Date is less than $0.702 (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction relating to the Common Stock occurring after the Subscription Date).

 

(b) Redemption Right Upon a General Triggering Event. Upon the occurrence of a General Triggering Event, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail (a “Triggering Event Notice”) to the Holders. At any time after the earlier of a Holder’s receipt of a General Triggering Event Notice and a Holder becoming aware of a General Triggering Event, such Holder may require the Company to redeem (an “General Triggering Event Redemption”) all or any portion of such Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares by delivering written notice thereof (the “General Triggering Event Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which General Triggering Event Redemption Notice shall indicate the number of such Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares that such Holder is electing to require the Company to redeem. Each Series H Preferred Share subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds at a price equal to the greater of (x) 118% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (y) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (B) the quotient determined by dividing (I) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock during the period beginning on the date immediately preceding such General Triggering Event and ending on the date such Holder delivers the General Triggering Event Redemption Notice, by (II) the lowest Conversion Price in effect during such period (the “General Triggering Event Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 6(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 13. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 6(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Series H Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, but subject to Section 5(d), until the General Triggering Event Redemption Price is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 6(b) may be converted, in whole or in part, by a Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 5. In the event less than all of a Holder’s remaining Series H Preferred Shares are redeemed pursuant hereto, the Conversion Amount so redeemed shall be deducted in reverse order starting from the final Installment Amount to be paid hereunder on the final Installment Date, unless a Holder otherwise indicates and allocates among any Installment Dates hereunder in the applicable General Triggering Event Redemption Notice. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any Series H Preferred Shares under this Section 6(b), each Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for such Holder. Accordingly, any General Triggering Event redemption premium due under this Section 6(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of a Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

 

   
 

 

(c) Price Triggering Event. On the second Trading Day immediately following any Trading Day on which a Price Triggering Event occurs (the “Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Date”), the Company shall pay to each Holder the Conversion Amount that then remains outstanding under such Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares, unless such Holder waives such failure in writing by delivering a notice thereof to the Company prior to the Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Date, by converting all or some of such Conversion Amount into Common Stock, in accordance with this Section 6 (a “Price Triggering Event Conversion”); provided, however, that the Company may, at its option following written notice to each Holder as set forth below, pay the Conversion Amount that then remains outstanding under such Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares by redeeming such Conversion Amount in cash on the tenth (10th) calendar day (or if such date is not a Trading Day, the immediately following Trading Day) immediately following any Trading Day on which a Price Triggering Event occurs (the “Initial Price Triggering Event Redemption Date” and such redemption, a “Price Triggering Event Redemption” and together with a General Triggering Event Redemption, a “Triggering Event Redemption”) or by any combination of a Price Triggering Event Conversion and a Price Triggering Event Redemption so long as all of the Conversion Amount that then remains outstanding under the Series H Preferred Shares shall be redeemed by the Company on the Initial Price Triggering Event Redemption Date and/or converted by the Company on the Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Date, subject to the provisions of this Section 6. On the first (1st) Trading Day immediately following the occurrence of a Price Triggering Event (the “Price Triggering Event Notice Due Date”), the Company shall deliver written notice (the “Price Triggering Event Notice” and the date all of the Holders receive such notice is referred to as the “Price Triggering Event Notice Date”), to each Holder which Price Triggering Event Notice shall (i) either (A) confirm that the Conversion Amount that then remains outstanding under such Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares shall be fully converted into Common Stock pursuant to a Price Triggering Event Conversion (any Conversion Amount to be converted, in whole or in part, into Common Stock, the “Price Triggering Event Conversion Amount”) or (B) (1) state that the Company elects to redeem, in whole or in part, for cash, or is required to redeem for cash, in whole or in part, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations, the applicable Conversion Amount pursuant to a Price Triggering Event Redemption and (2) specify the portion of such Conversion Amount which the Company elects or is required to redeem pursuant to a Price Triggering Event Redemption (such Conversion Amount to be redeemed, the “Price Triggering Event Redemption Amount”) and the portion of such Conversion Amount that is the Price Triggering Event Conversion Amount, which amounts, when added together, must equal the Conversion Amount that then remains outstanding under the Series H Preferred Shares, (ii) if the Conversion Amount that then remains outstanding under the Series H Preferred Shares is to be paid, in whole or in part, in Common Stock pursuant to a Price Triggering Event Conversion, certify that no Equity Conditions Failure has occurred as of the Price Triggering Event Notice Date. The Price Triggering Event Notice shall be irrevocable. If the Company does not timely deliver the Price Triggering Event Notice in accordance with this Section 6, then the Company shall be deemed to have delivered an irrevocable Price Triggering Event Notice confirming a Price Triggering Event Conversion in full and shall be deemed to have certified that there shall not have occurred an Equity Conditions Failure in connection with the Price Triggering Event Conversion as of the Price Triggering Event Notice Date. Except as expressly provided in this Section 6, the Company shall redeem the Conversion Amount that then remains outstanding under all Series H Preferred Shares on the Initial Price Triggering Event Redemption Date and/or convert the Conversion Amount that then remains outstanding under all Series H Preferred Shares on the Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Date, in each case, pursuant to this Section 6 in the same ratio. The Price Triggering Event Conversion Amount (whether set forth in the Price Triggering Event Notice or by operation of this Section 6) shall be converted in accordance with Section 5 and the Price Triggering Event Redemption Amount shall be redeemed in accordance with Section 6(c). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of any partial conversion or redemption of a Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares prior to the Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Date or Initial Price Triggering Event Redemption Date, the Conversion Amount converted or redeemed, as applicable, shall be deducted from the Conversion Amount to be paid hereunder on the Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Date or the Initial Price Triggering Event Redemption Date, as applicable.

 

   
 

 

(d) Mechanics of Price Triggering Event Conversion. If the Company delivers a Price Triggering Event Notice and confirms or elects a Price Triggering Event Conversion in accordance with Section 6(c), in whole or in part, or is deemed to have confirmed or elected, in whole or in part, a Price Triggering Event Conversion in accordance with Section 6(c), then (1) on or prior to the Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Date, (A) the Company shall, or shall direct the Transfer Agent to, credit the Holder’s account with DTC (or if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to each Holder a certificate for) a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Shares”) equal to the quotient of (x) the Conversion Amount that then remains outstanding under such Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares divided by (y) the Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Price then in effect, rounded to the nearest whole share of Common Stock and (B) in the event a Conversion Floor Price Condition occurs with respect to the Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Price used to calculate the number of Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Shares, each Holder shall have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to notify the Company in writing by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Date that, notwithstanding the Company’s election to convert all or any portion of the Conversion Amount that then remains outstanding under such Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares pursuant to a Price Triggering Event Conversion, such Holder elects to require the Company to pay all or any portion of such Conversion Amount in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds and (2) on the forty-first (41st) Trading Day immediately following the Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Date (the “Adjusted Price Triggering Event Conversion Date” and together with the Initial Price Triggering Event Redemption Date, a “Price Triggering Event Conversion Date”), (A) the Company shall, or shall direct the Transfer Agent to, credit the Holder’s account with DTC (or if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate) for an additional number of shares of Common Stock, if any, equal to the Price Triggering Event Balance Conversion Shares and (B) in the event of a Conversion Floor Price Condition occurs with respect to the Price Triggering Event Conversion Price used to calculate the number of Price Triggering Event Balance Conversion Shares, each Holder shall have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to notify the Company in writing by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Adjusted Price Triggering Event Conversion Date that (x) by no later than the fifth (5th) Trading Day immediately following the Adjusted Price Triggering Event Conversion Date, such Holder shall deliver to the Company any number of shares of Common Stock not exceeding the number of Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Shares delivered to such Holder on the Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Date (such shares, the “Initial Triggering Event Return Shares”) and (y) the Company shall pay to such Holder an additional amount in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, equal to the product of (I) the applicable number of Initial Triggering Event Return Shares and (II) the Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Price used to calculate the number of Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Shares; provided, that in each of cases (1) and (2), no Equity Conditions Failure has occurred (unless waived in writing by such Holder) on each day during the period commencing on the Price Triggering Event Notice Date through each Price Triggering Event Conversion Date. On the second (2nd) Trading Day immediately after the end of each Price Triggering Event Measuring Period, the Company shall deliver a written notice setting forth the calculation of the Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Shares and the Price Triggering Event Balance Conversion Shares, as applicable, (and the calculation of the component parts of such calculations) to the Holders. If a General Triggering Event occurs during the period from the Price Triggering Event Notice Date through any Price Triggering Event Conversion Date, the Holder may elect a General Triggering Event Redemption in accordance with Section 6(b) without being required to return to the Company any Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Shares previously delivered to the Holder. All Initial Price Triggering Event Conversion Shares and Price Triggering Event Balance Conversion Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share). If an Equity Conditions Failure occurs as of the Price Triggering Event Notice Date, then unless the Company has elected to redeem the Conversion Amount that then remains outstanding, the Price Triggering Event Notice shall indicate that unless a Holder waives the Equity Conditions Failure, the Conversion Amount that then remains outstanding under the Series H Preferred Shares shall be redeemed for cash. If the Company confirmed the conversion of the applicable Price Triggering Event Conversion Amount, in whole or in part (or if the conversion of the applicable Price Triggering Event Conversion Amount is deemed to have been confirmed in full by operation of Section 6(c)), and there was no Equity Conditions Failure as of the Price Triggering Event Notice Date (or is deemed to have certified that there is no Equity Conditions Failure in connection with any such conversion by operation of Section 6(c)) but an Equity Conditions Failure occurred between the Price Triggering Event Notice Date and any time through any Price Triggering Event Conversion Date (the “Interim Price Triggering Event Period”), the Company shall provide each Holder a subsequent written notice to that effect. If an Equity Conditions Failure occurs (unless waived in writing by such Holder) during such Interim Price Triggering Event Period, then at the option of such Holder designated in writing to the Company, such Holder may require the Company to do either one or both of the following: (i) the Company shall redeem all or any part designated by such Holder of the Price Triggering Event Conversion Amount (such designated amount is referred to as the “First Price Triggering Event Redemption Amount”) on such Price Triggering Event Conversion Date and the Company shall pay to such Holder on such Price Triggering Event Conversion Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to 125% of such First Price Triggering Event Redemption Amount and/or (ii) the Price Triggering Event Conversion shall be null and void with respect to all or any part designated by such Holder of the unconverted Price Triggering Event Conversion Amount and such Holder shall be entitled to all the rights of a Holder with respect to such amount of the Price Triggering Event Conversion Amount. If the Company fails to redeem any First Price Triggering Event Redemption Amount on or before the Price Triggering Event Conversion Date by payment of such amount on the applicable Price Triggering Event Conversion Date, then such Holder shall have the rights set forth in Section 13(a) as if the Company failed to pay the applicable Price Triggering Event Redemption Price (as defined in Section 6(c)) and all other rights under this Certificate of Designations (including, without limitation, such failure constituting a General Triggering Event described in Section 6(a)(v)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6(d), but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(d), until the Company credits the Holder’s account with DTC, or if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issues and delivers to such Holder a certificate for, the shares of Common Stock representing the Price Triggering Event Conversion Amount to such Holder, the Price Triggering Event Conversion Amount may be converted by such Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 5. In the event that a Holder elects to convert the Price Triggering Event Conversion Amount prior to a Price Triggering Event Conversion Date as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Price Triggering Event Conversion Amount so converted shall be deducted from the Conversion Amount to be paid hereunder on the applicable Price Triggering Event Conversion Date.

 

   
 

 

(e) Mechanics of Price Triggering Event Redemption. If, upon a Price Triggering Event, the Company elects a Price Triggering Event Redemption in accordance with Section 6, then the Price Triggering Event Redemption Amount which is to be paid to each Holder on the Initial Price Triggering Event Redemption Date shall be redeemed by the Company and the Company shall pay to such Holder on the Initial Price Triggering Event Redemption Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash (the “Price Triggering Event Redemption Price” and together with the General Triggering Event Redemption Price, the “Triggering Event Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the Price Triggering Event Redemption Amount. If the Company fails to redeem the Price Triggering Event Redemption Amount on the Initial Price Triggering Event Redemption Date by payment of the Price Triggering Event Redemption Price on such date, then at the option of a Holder designated in writing to the Company (any such designation shall be deemed a “Conversion Notice” pursuant to Section 5(c) for purposes of this Certificate of Designations), such Holder shall have the rights set forth in Section 13(a) as if the Company failed to pay the applicable Price Triggering Event Redemption Price and all other rights as a Holder (including, without limitation, such failure constituting a General Triggering Event described in Section 6(a)(v)). Conversions required by this Section 6(e) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6(e), but subject to Section 5(d), until the Price Triggering Event Redemption Price is paid in full, the Price Triggering Event Amount may be converted, in whole or in part, by each Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 5. In the event a Holder elects to convert all or any portion of the Price Triggering Event Redemption Amount prior to the Initial Price Triggering Event Redemption Date as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Initial Price Triggering Event Redemption Amount so converted shall be deducted from the Conversion Amount to be paid hereunder on the Initial Price Triggering Event Triggering Date.

 

   
 

 

(7) RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL.

 

(a) Assumption. If, at any time while any Series H Preferred Shares are outstanding, a Fundamental Transaction occurs or is consummated, then, upon any subsequent conversion of any Series H Preferred Shares, the Holders shall have the right to receive, for each share of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of such Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 5(d) on the conversion of the Series H Preferred Shares), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by such holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 5(d) on the conversion of the Series H Preferred Shares). 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 Holders shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of the Series H Preferred Shares following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holders and approved by the Holders (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of each Holder, deliver to such Holder in exchange for such Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Certificate of Designations governing shares of preferred stock of the Successor Entity which are convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of such Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares (without regard to any limitations on the conversion set forth in this Certificate of Designations) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of the Series H Preferred Shares immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holders. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designations referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 

   
 

 

(b) Redemption Right. No sooner than twenty (20) days nor later than fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail to the Holders (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period beginning on the earlier to occur of (x) any oral or written agreement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, upon consummation of which the transaction contemplated thereby would reasonably be expected to result in a Change of Control, (y) a Holder becoming aware of a Change of Control if the Change of Control Notice is not delivered to such Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence (as applicable) and (z) a Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending twenty (20) Trading Days after the date of the consummation of such Change of Control, such Holder may require the Company to redeem (a “Change of Control Redemption”) all or any portion of such Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount such Holder is electing to require the Company to redeem. Any Series H Preferred Shares subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds at a price equal to greater of (i) 118% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (ii) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (B) the quotient determined by dividing (1) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock during the period beginning on the date immediately preceding the earlier to occur of (x) the consummation of the Change of Control and (y) the public announcement of such Change of Control and ending on the date the Holder delivers the Change of Control Redemption Notice, by (II) the lowest Conversion Price in effect during such period (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 7(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 and shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with a Change of Control. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 7(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Series H Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7(b), but subject to Section 5(d), until the Change of Control Redemption Price is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 7(b) may be converted, in whole or in part, by a Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5. In the event that less than all of a Holder’s remaining Series H Preferred Shares are redeemed pursuant hereto, the Conversion Amount so redeemed shall be deducted in reverse order starting from the final Installment Amount to be paid hereunder on the final Installment Date, unless such Holder otherwise indicates and allocates among any Installment Dates hereunder in the applicable Change of Control Redemption Notice. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Series H Preferred Shares under this Section 7(b), the Holders’ damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holders. Accordingly, any Change of Control redemption premium due under this Section 7(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holders’ actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

 

   
 

 

(8) PURCHASE RIGHTS. If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holders will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Series H Preferred Shares (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Series H Preferred Shares) immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that a Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in such Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for such Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in such Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times such Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

 

(9) COMPANY CONVERSION OR REDEMPTION.

 

(a) General. On each applicable Installment Date, provided there has been no Equity Conditions Failure, the Company shall pay to each Holder the Installment Amount due on such date by converting all, but not less than all, of such Installment Amount into Common Stock in accordance with this Section 9 (a “Company Conversion”); provided, however, that the Company may, at its option following written notice to each Holder as set forth below, pay all, but not less than all, of the Installment Amount due on such date by redeeming such Installment Amount in cash (a “Company Redemption”). On or prior to the date which is the twenty-third (23rd) Trading Day prior to each Installment Date (each, an “Installment Notice Due Date”), the Company shall deliver written notice (each, a “Company Installment Notice” and the date all of the Holders receive such notice is referred to as the “Company Installment Notice Date”), to each Holder which Company Installment Notice shall (i) either (A) confirm that the applicable Installment Amount of such Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares shall be fully converted into Common Stock pursuant to a Company Conversion (such Conversion Amount to be converted, the “Company Conversion Amount”) or (B) (1) state that the Company elects to redeem for cash, or is required to redeem for cash in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations, in whole but not in part, the applicable Installment Amount pursuant to a Company Redemption (such Conversion Amount to be redeemed, the “Company Redemption Amount”) or a Company Conversion and (ii) if the Installment Amount is to be paid in Common Stock pursuant to a Company Conversion, certify that no Equity Conditions Failure has occurred as of the applicable Company Installment Notice Date. Each Company Installment Notice shall be irrevocable. If the Company does not timely deliver a Company Installment Notice in accordance with this Section 9, then the Company shall be deemed to have delivered an irrevocable Company Installment Notice confirming a Company Conversion in full and shall be deemed to have certified that there shall not have occurred an Equity Conditions Failure in connection with such Company Conversion as of the applicable Company Installment Notice Date. Except as expressly provided in this Section 9, the Company shall convert and/or redeem the applicable Installment Amount of all Series H Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 9 in the same ratio. The Company Conversion Amount (whether set forth in the Company Installment Notice or by operation of this Section 9) shall be converted in accordance with Section 9(b) and the Company Redemption Amount shall be redeemed in accordance with Section 9(c). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of any partial conversion or redemption of a Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares, the Conversion Amount converted or redeemed shall be deducted in reverse order starting from the final Installment Amount to be paid hereunder on the final Installment Date, unless such Holder otherwise indicates and allocates among any Installment Dates hereunder in a written notice to the Company.

 

   
 

 

(b) Mechanics of Company Conversion. If the Company delivers a Company Installment Notice and confirms, or is deemed to have confirmed, in whole but not in part, a Company Conversion in accordance with Section 9(a), then (1) contemporaneously with the delivery of the Company Installment Notice on the applicable Company Installment Notice Date, (A) the Company shall, or shall direct the Transfer Agent to, credit each Holder’s account with DTC (or if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to such Holder a certificate for) a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Initial Pre-Installment Conversion Shares”) equal to the quotient of (x) the Company Conversion Amount related to the applicable Installment Date divided by (y) the Initial Company Pre-Installment Conversion Price then in effect, rounded to the nearest whole share of Common Stock; provided, however, if some or all of any Deferral Amount(s) (as defined in Section 9(d)) from one or more prior Installment Date(s) was deferred by a Holder to the Installment Date related to the applicable Company Installment Notice Date, and Initial Pre-Installment Conversion Shares were previously delivered to such Holder with respect to such Deferral Amount(s) (the “Deferral Pre-Installment Conversion Shares”), then the amount of Initial Pre-Installment Conversion Shares to be delivered by the Company to such Holder on the applicable Company Installment Notice Date shall be reduced, but not to an amount less than zero (0), by such amount of Deferral Pre-Installment Conversion Shares and (B) in the event of a Conversion Floor Price Condition occurs with respect to the Initial Company Pre-Installment Conversion Price used to calculate the number of Initial Pre-Installment Conversion Shares, each Holder shall have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to notify the Company in writing by no later than the second (2nd) Trading Day immediately prior to the applicable Company Installment Notice Date that, notwithstanding the Company’s election to convert the applicable Installment Amount pursuant to a Company Conversion, such Holder elects to require the Company to pay all or any portion of such Installment Amount in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (2) in addition, in the event a Holder delivers an Acceleration Notice (as defined in Section 9(e)) at least three (3) Trading Days prior to the applicable Installment Date, on the Trading Day immediately following delivery of such Acceleration Notice (such date, the “Additional Pre-Installment Conversion Shares Date”) the Company shall, or shall direct the Transfer Agent to, credit such Holder’s account with DTC (or if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to such Holder a certificate for) a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Pre-Installment Conversion Shares” and together with the Initial Pre-Installment Conversion Shares, the “Pre-Installment Conversion Shares”) equal to the quotient of (x) the Accelerated Amount(s) (as defined in Section 9(e)) set forth in such Acceleration Notice divided by (y) the Initial Company Pre-Installment Conversion Price then in effect, rounded to the nearest whole share of Common Stock and (3) on the applicable Installment Date, (A) the Company shall, or shall direct the Transfer Agent to, credit each Holder’s account with DTC (or if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to such Holder a certificate) for an additional number of shares of Common Stock, if any, equal to the Installment Balance Conversion Shares and (B) in the event of a Conversion Floor Price Condition occurs with respect to the Company Conversion Price used to calculate the number of Installment Balance Conversion Shares, each Holder shall have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to notify the Company in writing by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Trading Day immediately prior to the applicable Installment Date that (x) by no later than the fifth (5th) Trading Day immediately following the applicable Installment Date, such Holder shall deliver to the Company any number of shares of Common Stock not exceeding the number of Pre-Installment Conversion Shares delivered to such Holder on the related Company Installment Notice Date (such shares, the “Pre-Installment Return Shares”) and (y) the Company shall pay to such Holder an additional amount in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, equal to the product of (I) the applicable number of Pre-Installment Return Shares and (II) the Initial Company Pre-Installment Conversion Price used to calculate the number of Initial Pre-Installment Conversion Shares; provided, that no Equity Conditions Failure has occurred (unless waived in writing by such Holder) on each day during the period commencing on such Company Installment Notice Date through the applicable Installment Date. On the second (2nd) Trading Day immediately after the end of each Measuring Period, the Company shall deliver a written notice setting forth the calculation of the Initial Pre-Installment Conversion Shares and the Installment Balance Conversion Shares, as applicable, (and the calculation of the component parts of such calculations) to each Holder. If a Triggering Event occurs during the period from any Company Installment Notice Date through the applicable Installment Date, each Holder may elect a Triggering Event Redemption in accordance with Section 6 without being required to return to the Company any Pre-Installment Conversion Shares previously delivered to such Holder. All Pre-Installment Conversion Shares and Installment Balance Conversion Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share). If an Equity Conditions Failure occurs as of the applicable Company Installment Notice Date, then unless the Company has elected to redeem such Installment Amount, the Company Installment Notice shall indicate that unless a Holder waives the Equity Conditions Failure, the Installment Amount shall be redeemed for cash. If the Company confirmed (or is deemed to have confirmed by operation of Section 9(a)) the conversion of the applicable Company Conversion Amount, in whole but not in part, and there was no Equity Conditions Failure as of the applicable Company Installment Notice Date (or is deemed to have certified that there is no Equity Conditions Failure in connection with any such conversion by operation of Section 9(a)) but an Equity Conditions Failure occurred between the applicable Company Installment Notice Date and any time through the applicable Installment Date (an “Interim Installment Period”), the Company shall provide each Holder a subsequent written notice to that effect. If an Equity Conditions Failure occurs (unless waived in writing by such Holder) during such Interim Installment Period, then at the option of such Holder designated in writing to the Company, such Holder may require the Company to do either one or both of the following: (i) the Company shall redeem all or any part designated by such Holder of the Company Conversion Amount (such designated amount is referred to as the “First Redemption Amount”) on such Installment Date and the Company shall pay to such Holder on such Installment Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to 125% of such First Redemption Amount and/or (ii) the Company Conversion shall be null and void with respect to all or any part designated by such Holder of the unconverted Company Conversion Amount and such Holder shall be entitled to all the rights of a Holder with respect to such amount of the Company Conversion Amount. If the Company fails to redeem any First Redemption Amount on or before the applicable Installment Date by payment of such amount on the applicable Installment Date, then such Holder shall have the rights set forth in Section 13 as if the Company failed to pay the applicable Company Installment Redemption Price (as defined below) and all other rights under this Certificate of Designations (including, without limitation, such failure constituting a Triggering Event described in Section 6(a)(v)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9(b), but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(d), until the Company credits a Holder’s account with DTC, or if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issues and delivers to such Holder a certificate for, the shares of Common Stock representing the Company Conversion Amount to such Holder, the Company Conversion Amount may be converted by such Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 5. In the event that a Holder elects to convert the Company Conversion Amount prior to the applicable Installment Date as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company Conversion Amount so converted shall be deducted in reverse order starting from the final Installment Amount to be paid hereunder on the final Installment Date, unless such Holder otherwise indicates and allocates among any Installment Dates hereunder in the applicable Conversion Notice.

 

   
 

 

(c) Mechanics of Company Redemption. If the Company elects a Company Redemption in accordance with Section 9, then the Company Redemption Amount which is to be paid to each Holder on the applicable Installment Date shall be redeemed by the Company and the Company shall pay to such Holder on such Installment Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash (the “Company Installment Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the Company Redemption Amount. If the Company fails to redeem the Company Redemption Amount on the applicable Installment Date by payment of the Company Installment Redemption Price on such date, then at the option of a Holder designated in writing to the Company (any such designation shall be deemed a “Conversion Notice” pursuant to Section 5(c) for purposes of this Certificate of Designations), (i) such Holder shall have the rights set forth in Section 13 as if the Company failed to pay the applicable Company Installment Redemption Price and all other rights as a Holder (including, without limitation, such failure constituting a Triggering Event described in Section 6(a)(v)) and (ii) such Holder may require the Company to convert all or any part of the Company Redemption Amount at the Company Conversion Price as in effect on the applicable Installment Date. Conversions required by this Section 9(c) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9(c), but subject to Section 5(d), until the Company Installment Redemption Price is paid in full, the Company Redemption Amount may be converted, in whole or in part, by a Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 5. In the event a Holder elects to convert all or any portion of the Company Redemption Amount prior to the applicable Installment Date as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company Redemption Amount so converted shall be deducted in reverse order starting from the final Installment Amount to be paid hereunder on the final Installment Date, unless such Holder otherwise indicates and allocates among any Installment Dates hereunder in the applicable Conversion Notice.

 

(d) Deferred Installment Amount. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9 to the contrary, each Holder may from time to time, at its option and in its sole discretion, deliver a written notice (a “Deferral Notice”) to the Company no later than the Trading Day immediately prior to the applicable Installment Date electing to have the payment of all or any portion of an Installment Amount payable on such Installment Date deferred (such amount(s) deferred, the “Deferral Amount”) until (i) any subsequent Installment Date selected by such Holder, in its sole discretion, in which case, the Deferral Amount shall be added to, and become part of, the Installment Amount to be paid on such subsequent Installment Date or (ii) until the last Business Day of any calendar month following the last Installment Date occurring hereunder, which date may be after the Scheduled Maturity Date hereunder. Any Deferral Notice delivered by a Holder pursuant to this Section 9(d) shall set forth (i) the Deferral Amount and (ii) the date that such Deferral Amount shall now be payable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 9(d), no Holder shall have the right to deliver a Deferral Notice relating to an Installment Date with respect to which the Company has elected to pay the applicable Installment Amount in cash pursuant to a Company Redemption.

 

(e) Accelerated Installment Amount. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9 to the contrary, each Holder may, at its option and in its sole discretion, deliver a written notice to the Company (an “Acceleration Notice”) no later than the Trading Day immediately prior to the applicable Installment Date electing to have the payment of all or any portion of any or all Installment Amount(s) scheduled to be paid on future Installment Dates after the applicable Installment Date accelerated (such amount(s) accelerated, the “Accelerated Amount(s)”) to be paid on the applicable Installment Date pursuant to a Company Conversion, in which case, such Accelerated Amount(s) shall be added to, and become part of, the Installment Amount as such Installment Amount may have been increased pursuant to the terms hereof, payable on such applicable Installment Date by including such Accelerated Amount(s) in the Installment Amount for the applicable Installment Date and shall be payable in Common Stock regardless of whether the Installment Amount scheduled to be paid on such applicable Installment Date in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9 shall be paid in cash or in shares of Common Stock. Any Acceleration Notice delivered by a Holder pursuant to this Section 9(e) shall set forth (i) the Accelerated Amount(s) and (ii) the date that such Accelerated Amount should have been paid if not for such Holder’s right to accelerate such Installment Amount(s) pursuant to this Section 9(e).

 

   
 

 

(10) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION AT THE COMPANY’S ELECTION. At any time and from time to time after the Issuance Date, the Company shall have the right to redeem all or any part (but not for any Conversion Amount less than $5 million) of the Conversion Amount then remaining under the Series H Preferred Shares (the “Company Optional Redemption Amount”) as designated in the Company Optional Redemption Notice on the Company Optional Redemption Date (each as defined below) (the “Company Optional Redemption”). The Series H Preferred Shares subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 10 shall be redeemed by the Company on the Company Optional Redemption Date in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds at a price equal to: (i) so long as there has been no Equity Conditions Failure during the period beginning on the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date (as defined below) through the Company Optional Redemption Date (as defined below), 125% of the Conversion Amount to be redeemed and (ii) if an Equity Conditions Failure occurs (which is not waived in writing by such Holder) at any time during the period beginning on the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date through the Company Optional Redemption Date (the “Company Optional Redemption Interim Period”), the greater of (x) 125% of the Conversion Amount to be redeemed and (y) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (B) the quotient determined by dividing (I) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock during the period beginning on the date immediately preceding the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date and ending on the Company Optional Redemption Date, by (II) the lowest Conversion Price in effect during such period (the price set forth in the foregoing clause (i) or (i), as applicable, the “Company Optional Redemption Price”). The Company may exercise its right to require redemption under this Section 10 by delivering a thirty (30) calendar day prior written notice thereof via electronic mail to all, but not less than all, of the Holders (the “Company Optional Redemption Notice” and the date the Company has delivered to each applicable Holder such notice is referred to as the “Company Optional Redemption Notice Date”). The Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. The Company Optional Redemption Notice shall (i) state the date on which the Company Optional Redemption shall occur (the “Company Optional Redemption Date”), which date shall be the thirtieth (30th) calendar day immediately following the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date (or if such date is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day), (ii) state the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Series H Preferred Shares which the Company has elected to be subject to Company Optional Redemption from the Holders pursuant to this Section 10 on the Company Optional Redemption Date, (iii) state the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price in the event: (x) no Equity Conditions Failure occurs during the Company Optional Redemption Interim Period and (y) an Equity Conditions Failure has occurred or will occur (which is not waived in writing by a Holder) during the Company Optional Redemption Interim Period. If the Company confirmed that there was no such Equity Conditions Failure as of the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date but an Equity Conditions Failure occurs at any time during the Company Optional Redemption Interim Period, the Company shall provide the Holders a subsequent written notice to that effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10, until the Company Optional Redemption Price is paid, in full, the Company Optional Redemption Amount may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5. All Conversion Amounts converted by a Holder after the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date shall reduce the Company Optional Redemption Amount of such Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares required to be redeemed on the Company Optional Redemption Date, unless such Holder otherwise indicates in the applicable Conversion Notice. Company Optional Redemptions made pursuant to this Section 10 shall be made in accordance with Section 13. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 10 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Series H Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. If the Company elects to cause a Company Optional Redemption pursuant to this Section 10, then, except as set forth in the proviso below, it must simultaneously take the same action in the same proportion of ownership of Series H Preferred Shares with respect to all Holders; provided, however, with the prior written consent of the Lead Investor, the Company may instead simultaneously offer to each other Holder to redeem, pursuant to a Company Optional Redemption, the same Conversion Amount of Series H Preferred Shares, which offer may not necessarily be in the same proportion of ownership of Series H Preferred Shares with respect to all Holders.

 

   
 

 

(11) NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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 of this Certificate of Designations, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Certificate of Designations and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holders.

 

(12) RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.

 

(a) Reservation. The Company shall have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for each of the Series H Preferred Shares and Warrants equal to not less than 161,742,523 (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction relating to the Common Stock occurring after the Subscription Date) (the “Required Reserve Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as any bridge financing as referenced in Schedule 3(yy) attached to the Securities Purchase Agreement is outstanding the Required Reserve Amount shall be reduced to 151,742,523 (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction relating to the Common Stock occurring after the Subscription Date). The Company shall, so long as any of the Series H Preferred Shares are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversions of the Series H Preferred Shares and  exercises of the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Series H Preferred Shares and the exercise of all Warrants then outstanding; provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved shall at no time be less than the Required Reserve Amount. The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Series H Preferred Shares and exercises of the Warrants and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders and holders of Warrants based on the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Shares and upon exercise of the Warrants (in each case, without regard to any limitations herein on any conversions of the Series H Preferred Shares or to any limitations on exercises of the Warrants set forth in the Warrants) held by each Holder and holder of Warrants, as applicable, at the time of issuance of the Series H Preferred Shares and Warrants or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Series H Preferred Shares, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the number of reserved shares of Common Stock reserved with respect to such Series H Preferred Shares being transferred for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Series H Preferred Shares held by any Person which ceases to hold any Series H Preferred Shares (other than pursuant to a transfer of Series H Preferred Shares in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Series H Preferred Shares, pro rata based on the number of Series H Preferred Shares then held by such Holders.

 

 

4 To calculate 200% the maximum number of shares required based on the Conversion Floor Price assuming a deal size of $40,000,000.

 

   
 

 

(b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while any of the Series H Preferred Shares remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Shares and upon exercise of the Warrants at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Series H Preferred Shares then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its Board of Directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information Statement on Schedule 14C. If, upon any conversion of the Series H Preferred Shares, the Company does not have sufficient authorized shares to deliver in satisfaction of such conversion, then unless a Holder elects to rescind such attempted conversion, such Holder may require the Company to pay to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days of the applicable attempted conversion, cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is unable to deliver pursuant to this Section 12, and (ii) the highest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on the date of the applicable Conversion Date and ending on the date the Company makes the applicable cash payment.

 

   
 

 

(13) REDEMPTIONS.

 

(a) Mechanics. The Company shall deliver the applicable General Triggering Event Redemption Price to a Holders within three (3) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such Holder’s General Triggering Event Redemption Notice (the “General Triggering Event Redemption Date”). If a Holder has submitted a Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 7(b), the Company shall deliver the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price to such Holder (i) concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and (ii) within three (3) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise (such date, the “Change of Control Redemption Date”). The Company shall deliver the applicable Price Triggering Event Redemption Amount to each Holder on the Initial Price Triggering Event Redemption Date. The Company shall deliver the applicable Company Installment Redemption Price to each Holder on the applicable Installment Date. The Company shall deliver the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price to each Holder on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date. The Company shall pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holders in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions provided by the holder in writing to the Company on the applicable due date. In the event that the Company does not pay a Redemption Price to a Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, a Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to such Holder any or all of the Series H Preferred Shares that were submitted for redemption by such Holder and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (i) the applicable Redemption Notice of, or to, such Holder shall be null and void with respect to such Series H Preferred Shares and (ii) the Company shall immediately return any Series H Preferred Shares, or issue new Series H Stock Certificates to such Holder representing such Conversion Amount to be redeemed. A Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding a Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Late Charges which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Conversion Amount subject to such notice.

 

(b) Redemption by Other Holders. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice from any Holder for redemption or repayment as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section 6 or Section 7(b) or Section 9 (each, an “Other Redemption Notice”), the Company shall immediately, but no later than one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, forward to each Holder a copy of such notice. If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and one or more Other Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the Company’s receipt of such Holder’s Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of a Holder’s Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all Stated Value, dividends, Late Charges and other amounts designated in such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received during such seven (7) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder based on the Stated Value of the Series H Preferred Shares submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by the Company during such seven (7) Business Day period.

 

   
 

 

(c) Insufficient Assets. If upon a Redemption Date, the assets of the Company are insufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price, the Company shall (i) take all appropriate action reasonably within its means to maximize the assets available for paying the applicable Redemption Price, (ii) redeem out of all such assets available therefor on the applicable Redemption Date the maximum possible number of Series H Preferred Shares that it can redeem on such date pro rata among the Holders to be redeemed in proportion to the aggregate number of Series H Preferred Shares outstanding on the applicable Redemption Date and (iii) following the applicable Redemption Date, at any time and from time to time when additional assets of the Company become available to pay the balance of the applicable Redemption Price of the Series H Preferred Shares, the Company shall use such assets, at the end of the then current fiscal quarter, to pay the balance of such Redemption Price of the Series H Preferred Shares, or such portion thereof for which assets are then available, on the basis set forth above at the applicable Redemption Price, and such assets will not be used prior to the end of such fiscal quarter for any other purpose. Dividends on the Stated Value of the Series H Preferred Shares that have not been redeemed shall continue to accrue until such time as the Company redeems the Series H Preferred Shares. The Company shall pay to each Holder the applicable Redemption Price for each Series H Preferred Share without regard to the legal availability of funds unless expressly prohibited by applicable law or unless the payment of the applicable Redemption Price could reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to the directors of the Company.

 

(14) VOTING RIGHTS. Each Holder shall vote on all matters submitted to a class vote of the Holders. Except as set forth in this Section 14 and as required by applicable law, the Series H Preferred Shares shall not have any voting rights.

 

(15) NEGATIVE COVENANTS. After the date hereof and until all of the Series H Preferred Shares have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in full in accordance with their terms, the Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, to directly or indirectly:

 

(a) incur or guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness;

 

(b) allow or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, “Liens”) other than Permitted Liens and as set forth on Schedule 3(yy)(i) of the Securities Purchase Agreement;

 

(c) redeem, defease, repurchase, repay or make any payments in respect of, by the payment of cash or cash equivalents (in whole or in part, whether by way of open market purchases, tender offers, private transactions or otherwise), all or any portion of any Indebtedness, whether by way of payment in respect of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, such Indebtedness if at the time such payment is due or is otherwise made or, after giving effect to such payment, an event constituting, or that with the passage of time and without being cured would constitute, a Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing;

 

   
 

 

(d) redeem, defease, repurchase, repay or make any payments in respect of, by the payment of cash or cash equivalents (in whole or in part, whether by way of open market purchases, tender offers, private transactions or otherwise), all or any portion of any Indebtedness (including, without limitation Permitted Indebtedness) other than as set forth on Schedule 3(yy)(ii) of the Securities Purchase Agreement;

(j) issue Series H Preferred Shares (other than as contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement), or issue any other securities that would cause a breach or default under this Certificate of Designations; or

 

(k) create (by reclassification or otherwise), or authorize the creation of, or issue or obligate itself to issue additional or other capital stock or securities exchangeable for or convertible or exercisable into capital stock whether such capital stock is Pari Passu Stock or ranks senior to the Series H Preferred Shares prior and in preference to the Series H Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to distributions, the payment of dividends and payments upon a Liquidation Event.

 

   
 

 

(16) AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. Until all of the Series H Preferred Shares have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in full in accordance with their terms, the Company shall, and the Company shall, except with respect to clause (e) below, cause each Subsidiary to, unless otherwise agreed to by the Required Holders, directly and indirectly:

 

(a) maintain and preserve its existence, rights and privileges, and become or remain duly qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary, except in the case that any such failure to so maintain, preserve or comply has not had and is not reasonably likely to have, a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(b) maintain and preserve all of its properties which are necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and comply at all times with the provisions of all leases to which it is a party as lessee or under which it occupies property, so as to prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder, except in the case that any such failure to so maintain, preserve or comply has not had, and is not reasonably likely to have, a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(c) take all action necessary or advisable to maintain all of the Intellectual Property that is necessary or material to the conduct of its business in full force and effect;

 

(d) maintain insurance with responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations (including, without limitation, comprehensive general liability, hazard, rent and business interruption insurance) with respect to its properties (including all real properties leased or owned by it) and business, in such amounts and covering such risks as is required by any governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto or as is carried generally in accordance with sound business practice by companies in similar businesses similarly situated;

 

(e) maintain on deposit unrestricted and unencumbered cash in a U.S. bank in an aggregate amount equal to not less than the greater of (i) $6,000,000 and (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the Stated Value of the Series H Preferred Shares that remain outstanding as of any applicable date of determination; and

 

(f) notify the Holders in writing whenever an Equity Conditions Failure occurs, and simultaneously with the delivery of such notice to the Holder, file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC to state such fact.

 

(17) VOTE TO CHANGE THE TERMS OF OR ISSUE SERIES H PREFERRED SHARES. In addition to any other rights provided by law, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by another provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders, voting together as a single class, shall be required before the Company may: (a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any articles of amendment, certificate of designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of any series of preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Series H Preferred Shares, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise; (b) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of shares of Series H Preferred Shares; or (c) amend or waive any provision of the Certificate of Designations with respect to the Series H Preferred Shares.
