6



 

certificate or certificates to the Company.  The Company shall issue a new certificate for Preferred Shares to the Holder in the event that less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted; provided, however, that the failure of the Company to deliver such new certificate shall not affect the right of the Holder to submit a further Conversion Notice with respect to such Preferred Shares and, in any such case, the Holder shall be deemed to have submitted the original of such new certificate at the time that it submits such further Conversion Notice. Except as otherwise provided herein, upon delivery of a Conversion Notice by a Holder in accordance with the terms hereof, such Holder shall, as of the applicable Conversion Date, be deemed for all purposes to be the record owner of the Common Stock to which such Conversion Notice relates.  In the case of a dispute between the Company and a Holder as to the calculation of the Conversion Price or the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a Conversion (including without limitation the calculation of any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 7 below), the Company shall issue to such Holder the number of Conversion Shares that are not disputed within the time periods specified in paragraph 5(d) below and shall submit the disputed calculations to its independent accountant within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such Holder’s Conversion Notice.  The Company shall cause such accountant to calculate the Conversion Price as provided herein and to notify the Company and such Holder of the results in writing no later than five (5) Business Days following the Company’s receipt of such Holder’s Conversion Notice (such fifth Business Day being referred to herein as the “Disputed Share Calculation Date”).  Such accountant’s calculation shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest error.  The fees of any such accountant shall be borne by the party whose calculations were most at variance with those of such accountant.

 

(c)                                  Number of Conversion Shares.  The number of Conversion Shares to be delivered by the Company pursuant to a Conversion shall be determined by dividing (i) the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the Preferred Shares to be converted by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect on the applicable Conversion Date.

 

(d)                                 Delivery of Conversion Shares.  Upon receipt of a fax copy of a Conversion Notice from a Holder, the Company shall, no later than the close of business on the earlier to occur of (i) the third (3rd) Business Day following the Conversion Date set forth in such Conversion Notice and (ii) the date after the date on which the Company receives the original Conversion Notice and Preferred Shares (the “Delivery Date”), issue and deliver or caused to be delivered to such Holder the number of Conversion Shares determined pursuant to paragraph 5(c) above, provided, however, that any Conversion Shares that are the subject of a Dispute Procedure shall be delivered no later than the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day following the determination made pursuant thereto. The Company shall effect delivery of Conversion Shares to such Holder by, as long as Company’s transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”) participates in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program (“FAST”), crediting the account of such Holder or its nominee at DTC (as specified in the applicable Conversion Notice) with the number of Conversion Shares required to be delivered, no later than the close of business on such Delivery Date. In the event that the Transfer Agent is not a participant in FAST or if a Holder so specifies in a Conversion Notice or otherwise in writing on or before the Conversion Date, the Company shall effect delivery of Conversion Shares by delivering to such Holder or its nominee physical certificates representing such Conversion Shares, no later than the close of business on such Delivery Date. If any Conversion would create a fractional Conversion Share, such fractional Conversion Share shall be disregarded and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon such Conversion, in the aggregate,

 

7



 

shall be the next closest number of Conversion Shares.  Conversion Shares delivered to a Holder shall not contain any restrictive legend as long as the resale of such Conversion Shares (x) has been or will be made (as certified in writing by such Holder to the Company) pursuant to an effective Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), (y) has been made pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or (z) may be made pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any successor rule or provision.

 

(e)                                  Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares.

 

(i)                                     In the event that, for any reason, a Holder has not received certificates representing the number of Conversion Shares specified in the applicable Conversion Notice, without any restrictive legend in the circumstances described in clause (x), (y) or (z) of paragraph 5(d) above, on or before the Delivery Date therefor (a “Conversion Default”), and such failure to deliver certificates continues for five (5) Business Days following the delivery of written notice thereof from such Holder (such fifth Business Day being referred to herein as the “Conversion Default Date”), the Company shall pay to such Holder payments (“Conversion Default Payments”) in the amount of (A) “N” multiplied by (B) the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the Preferred Shares which are the subject of such Conversion Default multiplied by (C) one percent (1%),  where “N” equals the number of days elapsed between the Conversion Default Date and the date on which all of the certificates representing such Conversion Shares (without any restrictive legend in the circumstances described in clause (x), (y) or (z) of paragraph 5(d) above) are issued and delivered to such Holder.  Amounts payable hereunder shall be paid to the Holder in immediately available funds on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day of the calendar month immediately following the calendar month in which such amounts have accrued.

 

(ii)                                  In addition to any other remedies provided herein, each Holder shall have the right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to issue and deliver Conversion Shares on the applicable Delivery Date, including, without limitation, damages relating to any purchase of shares of Common Stock by or on behalf of such Holder in order to make delivery on a sale lawfully effected in anticipation of receiving Conversion Shares, such damages to be in an amount equal to (A) the aggregate amount paid by such Holder for the shares of Common Stock so purchased minus (B) the aggregate amount received by such Holder upon the sale of such Conversion Shares, and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all other remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief).

 

6.                                       MATURITY OF PREFERRED SHARES.

 

(a)                                  Payment at Maturity.  On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to each Holder the aggregate Liquidation Preference for such Holder’s Preferred Shares that are outstanding on such date.  Such payment shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided, however, that the Company may elect, subject to the satisfaction of all of the Common Stock Payment Conditions, to pay such Liquidation Preference in shares of Common Stock (the “Common Stock Maturity Payment Option”).   Any amount of cash that is due on the Maturity Date and which is not paid within five (5) Business Days of such date shall bear interest until paid at the Default Interest Rate.

 

(b)                                 Common Stock Payment Conditions. The Company shall not be entitled to exercise the Common Stock Maturity Payment Option unless, on the Maturity Date and on each of the twenty (20)

 

8



 

Trading Days immediately preceding such date, all of the Common Stock Payment Conditions are satisfied in full.  In the event that any Common Stock Payment Condition is not satisfied as of the applicable Maturity Date and each such Trading Day, the Company shall not be permitted to exercise the Common Stock Maturity Payment Option and must pay all amounts due on such Maturity Date in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

 

(c)                                Common Stock Option Notice.  In order to exercise the Common Stock Maturity Payment Option with respect to the Maturity Date, the Company must deliver, on or before the thirtieth (30th) calendar day immediately prior to such date, written notice to each Holder stating that the Company wishes to exercise such option (a “Common Stock Option Notice”).  If the Company wishes to exercise the Common Stock Maturity Payment Option, it must do so with respect to all (but not less than all) of the Preferred Shares then outstanding. A Common Stock Option Notice, once delivered by the Company, shall be irrevocable. In the event that the Company does not deliver a Common Stock Option Notice on or before such thirtieth day, the Company will be deemed to have elected to pay the related Liquidation Preference in cash.

 

(d)                               Delivery of Shares.  On or before the third (3rd) Business Day following the Maturity Date, and provided that Company has validly exercised the Common Stock Maturity Payment Option in accordance with the terms hereof (each a “Common Stock Option Delivery Date”), the Company must deliver to each Holder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (A) the Liquidation Preference of such Holder’s Preferred Shares outstanding on the Maturity Date divided by (B) the Market Price in effect on such date times ninety percent (90%).  The Company must deliver such shares of Common Stock to such Holder in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5(d) above, with the Common Stock Option Delivery Date being deemed the Delivery Date, and in the event of the Company’s failure to effect such delivery on the applicable Delivery Date therefor (calculated in accordance with paragraph 5(d)), such Holder shall have the remedies specified in paragraph 5(e) above.

 

7.                                       CONVERSION LIMITATIONSIn no event shall a Holder be permitted to convert any Preferred Shares to the extent that, upon the Conversion of such Preferred Shares, either:

 

(a)                                  the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder (other than shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Preferred Shares or which would otherwise be deemed beneficially owned except for being subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this paragraph 7), when added to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the Conversion of such Preferred Shares, would exceed 4.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding.  As used herein, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this paragraph applies (and without limiting any rights the Company may otherwise have), the Company may rely on the Holder’s determination of whether Preferred Shares are convertible pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company having no obligation whatsoever to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination, and the submission of a Conversion Notice by the Holder shall be deemed to be the Holder’s representation that the Preferred Shares specified therein are convertible pursuant to the terms hereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of a Holder to convert Preferred Shares at such time as the Conversion thereof will not violate the provisions of this paragraph. The limitation

 

9



 

contained in this paragraph shall cease to apply to a Holder (x) upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice from such Holder to the Company, (y) immediately upon written notice from such Holder to the Company at any time after the public announcement or other disclosure of a Major Transaction (as defined below) or a Change of Control and (z) on the Maturity Date; or

 

(b)                                 unless Stockholder Approval has been obtained or a Holder has delivered to the Company a legal opinion reasonably acceptable to the Company that such approval is no longer required under the applicable listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market, the number of Conversion Shares that such Holder would receive upon such Conversion, when added to (i) the number of Conversion Shares previously received by such Holder pursuant to this provisions of this Certificate plus (ii) the number of Warrant Shares previously received by such Holder pursuant to the Series A Warrant, would exceed the product of (A) the Cap Amount multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate Stated Value of the Preferred Shares purchased by such Investor and the denominator of which is the aggregate Stated Value of all Preferred Shares purchased by the Investors (such product, the “Allocation Amount”).  In the event that any Investor shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Investor’s Preferred Shares, the remaining Conversion Shares constituting such transferring Investor’s Allocation Amount shall be allocated between the transferring Investor and transferee pro rata in proportion to the Stated Value of the Preferred Shares transferred to such transferee and the Stated Value of the Preferred Shares retained by such transferring Investor.  In the event that any Investor shall convert all of such Investor’s Preferred Shares into a number of Conversion Shares and Series A Warrant Shares that, in the aggregate, is less than such Investor’s Allocation Amount, then the difference between such Investor’s Allocation Amount and the number of Conversion Shares actually issued to such Investor shall be allocated to the remaining Investors on a pro rata basis in proportion to number of Preferred Shares held by each Investor. In the event that, at any time, the sum of (i) the number of Conversion Shares issuable under the Preferred Shares (without regard to any restrictions on such issuance contained in this Certificate) plus (ii) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants (without regard to any restrictions on such exercise contained in the Series A Warrants) plus (iii) any issued or issuable shares of Common Stock that would be integrated with such Conversion Shares and Series A Warrant Shares pursuant to applicable Nasdaq rules and regulations, exceeds one hundred percent (100%) of the Cap Amount, the Company shall, upon the written request of any Holder, hold a special meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of obtaining Stockholder Approval. In the event that the stockholders do not approve such transactions at such meeting, the Company shall continue to use its best efforts to seek such approval as soon as practicable after such meeting but no less frequently than quarterly thereafter.

 

8.                                       ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION PRICE. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 8. In the event that any adjustment of the Conversion Price required herein results in a fraction of a cent or fraction of a share, as applicable, the Conversion Price shall be rounded up or down to the nearest cent or share, as applicable.

 

(a)                                  Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.  If the Company, at any time after the Closing Date, subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, then after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced.  If the Company, at any time after the

 

10



 

Closing Date, combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionally increased.

 

(b)                                 Distributions.  If the Company shall declare or make any distribution of cash or any other assets (or rights to acquire such assets) to holders of Common Stock, as a partial liquidating dividend or otherwise, including without limitation any dividend or distribution to the Company’s stockholders in shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (a “Distribution”), the Company shall deliver written notice of such Distribution (a “Distribution Notice”) to each Holder at least thirty (30) days prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to such Distribution (the “Record Date”) and (ii) the date on which such Distribution is made (the “Distribution Date”).  The earlier to occur of the Record Date and the Distribution Date is referred to herein as the “Determination Date”.  In the Distribution Notice to a Holder, the Company must indicate whether the Company has elected (A) to deliver to such Holder the same amount and type of assets being distributed in such Distribution as though the Holder were a holder on the Determination Date therefor of a number of shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Shares held by such Holder are convertible as of such Determination Date (such number of shares to be determined at the Conversion Price then in effect and without giving effect to any limitations on such conversion) or (B) to reduce the Conversion Price as of the Determination Date therefor by an amount equal to the fair market value of the assets to be distributed divided by the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such Distribution is to be made, such fair market value to be reasonably determined in good faith by the independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors. If the Company does not notify the Holders of its election pursuant to the preceding sentence on or prior to the Determination Date, the Company shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) of the preceding sentence.

 

(c)                                  Dilutive Issuances.

 

(i)                                     Adjustment Upon Dilutive Issuance.  If, at any time after the Closing Date, the Company issues or sells or, pursuant to subparagraph (iii) of this paragraph (c), is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for per share consideration less than the Conversion Price on the date of such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as follows:

 

(A)                              If such Dilutive Issuance occurs prior to the Effective Date, then effective immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so as to equal the value of the consideration received or receivable by the Company (on a per share basis) for the additional shares of Common Stock so issued, sold or deemed issued or sold in such Dilutive Issuance (which, in the case of a deemed issuance or sale, shall be calculated in accordance with subparagraph (iii) below).

 

(B)                                If such Dilutive Issuance occurs on or after the Effective Date, then effective immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so as to equal an amount determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by the following fraction:

N0 + N1

 

N0 + N2

 

 

 

where:

 

N0 =

 

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance, sale or deemed issuance or sale of such additional shares of Common Stock in such Dilutive Issuance (without taking into account any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any securities or other instruments which are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) or options, warrants or other rights to purchase or subscribe for Common Stock or Convertible Securities (“Purchase Rights”), other than shares of Common Stock issuable under the Preferred Shares and the Warrants, which shall be taken into account in determining such number);

 

 

 

N1 =

 

the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration, if any, received or receivable by the Company for the total number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued, sold or deemed issued or sold in such Dilutive Issuance (which, in the case of a deemed issuance or sale, shall be calculated in accordance with subparagraph (iii) below) would purchase at the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance; and

 

 

 

N2 =

 

the number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued, sold or deemed issued or sold in such Dilutive Issuance.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to paragraph (A) or (B) above if such adjustment would result in an increase in the Conversion Price.

 

(ii)                                  Adjustment Upon Below Market Issuance.  If, at any time after the Closing Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with subparagraph (iii) of this paragraph (c), is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the lower of (x) the Market Price on the date of such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) and (y) $4.00 per share (a “Below Market Issuance”), then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as follows:

 

(A)                              If such Below Market Issuance occurs prior to the Effective Date, then effective immediately upon the Below Market Issuance, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so as to equal the consideration received or receivable by the Company (on a per share basis) for the additional shares of Common Stock so issued, sold or deemed issued or sold in such Below Market Issuance (which, in the case of a deemed issuance or sale, shall be calculated in accordance with subparagraph (iii) below).

 

12



 

(B)                                If such Below Market Issuance occurs on or after the Effective Date, then effective immediately upon the Below Market Issuance, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so as to equal an amount determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by the following fraction:

 

N0 + N1

 

N0 + N2

 

 

where:

 

N0 =

 

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance, sale or deemed issuance or sale of such additional shares of Common Stock in such Below Market Issuance (without taking into account any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights, other than shares of Common Stock issuable under the Preferred Shares and the Warrants, which shall be taken into account in determining such number);

 

 

 

N1 =

 

the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration, if any, received or receivable by the Company for the total number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued, sold or deemed issued or sold in such Below Market Issuance (which, in the case of a deemed issuance or sale, shall be calculated in accordance with subparagraph (iii) below) would purchase at the Market Price in effect on the date of such Below Market Issuance; and

 

 

 

N2 =

 

the number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued, sold or deemed issued or sold in such Below Market Issuance.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this paragraph (c)(ii) if such adjustment would result in an increase in the Conversion Price.  In the event that the Company effects an issuance that is both a Dilutive Issuance and a Below Market Issuance, the Conversion Price will be adjusted to the lower of the prices calculated pursuant to subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of this paragraph (c).

 

(iii)                               Effect On Conversion Price Of Certain Events.  For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under subparagraph (i) or (ii) of this paragraph (c), the following will be applicable:

 

(A)                              Issuance of Purchase Rights.  If the Company issues or sells any Purchase Rights, whether or not immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Purchase Rights (and the price of any conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable) is less than either or both of the Conversion Price and the lower of (x) the Market Price in effect on the date of issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights and (y) $4.00 per share, then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Purchase Rights (assuming full

 

13



 

conversion, exercise or exchange of Convertible Securities, if applicable) shall, as of the date of the issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Purchase Rights” shall be determined by dividing (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Purchase Rights, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Purchase Rights, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Purchase Rights, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof (determined in accordance with the calculation method set forth in subparagraph (iii)(B) below) at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible, exercisable or exchangeable, by (y) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Purchase Rights (assuming full conversion, exercise or exchange of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Purchase Rights or upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Purchase Rights. To the extent that shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are not delivered pursuant to such Purchase Rights, upon the expiration or termination of such Purchase Rights, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such Purchase Rights been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.

 

(B)                                Issuance of Convertible Securities.  If the Company issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible, exercisable or exchangeable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exercise or exchange is less than either or both of the Conversion Price and the lower of (x) the Market Price in effect on the date of issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and (y) $4.00 per share, then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall, as of the date of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. If the Convertible Securities so issued or sold do not have a fluctuating conversion or exercise price or exchange ratio, then for the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exercise or exchange” shall be determined by dividing (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof (determined in accordance with the calculation method set forth in this subparagraph (iii)(B)) at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible, exercisable or exchangeable, by (y) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. If the Convertible Securities so issued or sold have a fluctuating conversion or exercise price or exchange ratio (a “Variable Rate Convertible Security”) (provided, however, that if the conversion or exercise price or exchange ratio of a Convertible Security may fluctuate solely as a result of provisions designed to protect

 

14



 

against dilution, such Convertible Security shall not be deemed to be a Variable Rate Convertible Security), then for purposes of the first sentence of this subparagraph (B), the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exercise or exchange” shall be deemed to be the lowest price per share which would be applicable (assuming all holding period and other conditions to any discounts contained in such Variable Rate Convertible Security have been satisfied) if the conversion price of such Variable Rate Convertible Security on the date of issuance or sale thereof were seventy-five percent (75%) of the actual conversion price on such date (the “Assumed Variable Market Price”), and, further, if the conversion price of such Variable Rate Convertible Security at any time or times thereafter is less than or equal to the Assumed Variable Market Price last used for making any adjustment under this paragraph (c) with respect to any Variable Rate Convertible Security, the Conversion Price in effect at such time shall be readjusted to equal the Conversion Price which would have resulted if the Assumed Variable Market Price at the time of issuance of the Variable Rate Convertible Security had been seventy-five percent (75%) of the actual conversion price of such Variable Rate Convertible Security existing at the time of the adjustment required by this sentence.  No further adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to conversion of such Convertible Securities, upon the expiration or termination of the right to convert such Convertible Securities into Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such Convertible Securities been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.

 

(C)                                Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate.  If, following an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities pursuant to a Below Market Issuance, there is a change at any time in (x) the amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of any Purchase Rights; (y) the amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities; or (z) the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (in each such case, other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), then in any such case, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed additional consideration or changed conversion, exercise or exchange rate, as the case may be, at the time initially issued or sold.

 

(D)                               Calculation of Consideration Received.  If any Common Stock, Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be the amount received by the Company therefor. In case any Common Stock, Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, including in the case of a strategic or similar arrangement in which the other entity will provide services to the Company, purchase services from the Company or otherwise provide intangible consideration to the Company, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company (including the net present value of

 

15



 

the consideration other than cash expected by the Company for the provided or purchased services) shall be the fair market value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the average of the last sale prices thereof on the principal market for such securities during the period of ten Trading Days immediately preceding  the date of receipt. In case any Common Stock, Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as is attributable to such Common Stock, Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if Common Stock, Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities are issued or sold in conjunction with each other as part of a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, a Holder may elect to determine the amount of consideration deemed to be received by the Company therefor by deducting the fair value of any type of securities (the “Disregarded Securities”) issued or sold in such transaction or series of transactions. If a Holder makes an election pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made pursuant to this paragraph (c) for the issuance of the Disregarded Securities or upon any conversion, exercise or exchange thereof. The independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors shall calculate reasonably and in good faith, using standard commercial valuation methods appropriate for valuing such assets, the fair market value of any consideration other than cash or securities.

 

(E)                                 Issuances Without Consideration Pursuant to Existing Securities.  If the Company issues (or becomes obligated to issue) shares of Common Stock pursuant to any anti-dilution or similar adjustments (other than as a result of stock splits, stock dividends and the like) contained in any Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights outstanding as of the date hereof but not included in the Disclosure Schedule to the Securities Purchase Agreement, then all shares of Common Stock so issued shall be deemed to have been issued for no consideration. If the Company issues (or becomes obligated to issue) shares of Common Stock pursuant to any anti-dilution or similar adjustments contained in any Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights disclosed in a schedule to the Securities Purchase Agreement as a result of the issuance of the Warrants and the number of shares that the Company issues (or is obligated to issue) as a result of such initial issuance exceeds the amount specified in such schedule, such excess shares shall be deemed to have been issued for no consideration.

 

(iv)                              Exceptions To Adjustment Of Conversion Price.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made pursuant to this paragraph (c) upon the issuance of any Excluded Securities.  For purposes hereof, “Excluded Securities” means (A) securities purchased under the Securities Purchase Agreement; (B) securities issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants; (C) shares of Common Stock issuable or issued to (x) employees or directors from time to time either directly or upon the exercise of options, in such case granted or to be granted in the discretion of the Board of Directors, as approved by the independent members of the Board, pursuant to one or more stock option plans or restricted stock plans or stock purchase plans in effect as of the Closing Date or approved by the independent members of the Board of Directors or by the Company’s shareholders, or (y)

 

16



 

consultants, either directly or pursuant to warrants to purchase Common Stock that are outstanding on the date hereof or issued hereafter, provided such issuances are approved by the independent members of the Board of Directors or by the Company’s shareholders; (D) shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights outstanding on the date hereof; and (E) shares of Common Stock issued to a Person in connection with a joint venture, strategic alliance or other commercial relationship with such Person relating to the operation of the Company’s business and not for the purpose of raising equity capital.

 

(v)                                 Notice Of Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this paragraph (c), the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment or change and prepare and furnish to each Holder a notice (an “Adjustment Notice”) setting forth such adjustment or readjustment or change and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment or change is based.  The failure of the Company to deliver an Adjustment Notice shall not affect the validity of any such adjustment.

 

(d)                                 Major Transactions.  In the event of a merger, consolidation, business combination, tender offer, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, redemption or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of stock or securities or other assets of the Company or another entity or the Company shall sell all or substantially all of its assets (each of the foregoing being a “Major Transaction”), the Company will give each Holder at least twenty (20) Trading Days’ written notice prior to the closing of such Major Transaction, and: (i) each Holder shall be permitted to convert the Preferred Shares held by such Holder in whole or in part at any time prior to the record date for the receipt of such consideration and shall be entitled to receive, for each share of Common Stock issuable to such Holder for such exercise, the same per share consideration payable to the other holders of Common Stock in connection with such Major Transaction, and (ii) if and to the extent that a Holder retains any Preferred Shares following such record date, the Company will cause the surviving or, in the event of a sale of assets, purchasing entity, as a condition precedent to such Major Transaction, to assume the obligations of the Company with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock, with such adjustments to the Conversion Price and the securities covered hereby as may be necessary in order to preserve the economic benefits of the Series B Preferred Stock to such Holder.

 

(e)                                  Adjustments; Additional Shares, Securities or Assets.  In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8, each Holder shall, upon conversion of such Holder’s Preferred Shares, become entitled to receive securities or assets (other than Common Stock) then, wherever appropriate, all references herein to shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and thereafter the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 8.

 

9.                                       REDEMPTION.

 

(a)                                  Mandatory Redemption.  In the event that a Fundamental Change occurs, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Preferred Shares held by such Holder (a “Mandatory Redemption”) at the Mandatory Redemption Price (as defined below).  In order to exercise its right to effect a Mandatory Redemption, a Holder must deliver a written notice (a

 

17



 

Mandatory Redemption Notice”) to the Company at any time on or before 6:00 p.m. (eastern time) on the third (3rd) Business Day following the Business Day on which the Fundamental Change to which such Mandatory Redemption Notice relates is no longer in effect. The Mandatory Redemption Notice shall specify the effective date of such Mandatory Redemption (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”) and the number of such shares to be redeemed.

 

(b)                                 Mandatory Redemption Price.  The “Mandatory Redemption Price” shall be equal to the greater of (i) the Liquidation Preference of the Preferred Shares being redeemed times one hundred and one percent (101%) and (ii) the Liquidation Preference for such Preferred Shares divided by the Conversion Price times the Market Price in effect on the Mandatory Redemption Date.

 

(c)                                  Payment of Mandatory Redemption Price.

 

(i)                                     The Company shall pay the Mandatory Redemption Price to the Holder exercising its right to redemption on the later to occur of (A) the fifth (5th) Business Day following the Mandatory Redemption Date and (B) the date on which the Preferred Shares being redeemed are delivered by the Investor to the Company for cancellation (the “Mandatory Redemption Payment Date”).

 

(ii)                                  If Company fails to pay the Mandatory Redemption Price to a Holder on or before the Mandatory Redemption Date, such Holder shall be entitled to interest thereon, from and after the Mandatory Redemption Payment Date until the Mandatory Redemption Price has been paid in full, at an annual rate equal to the Default Interest Rate.

 

10.                                 MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a)                                  Transfer of Preferred Shares.  Upon notice to the Company, a Holder may sell or transfer all or any portion of the Preferred Shares to any person or entity as long as such sale or transfer is the subject of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or is exempt from registration thereunder and otherwise is made in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement.  From and after the date of such sale or transfer, the transferee thereof shall be deemed to be a Holder.  Upon any such sale or transfer, the Company shall, promptly following the return of the certificate or certificates representing the Preferred Shares that are the subject of such sale or transfer, issue and deliver to such transferee a new certificate in the name of such transferee.

 

(b)                                 Notices.  Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given by the Company or an Investor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) when delivered personally or by verifiable facsimile transmission, unless such delivery is made on a day that is not a Business Day, in which case such delivery will be deemed to be made on the next succeeding Business Day, (ii) on the next Business Day after timely delivery to an overnight courier and (iii) on the Business Day actually received if deposited in the U.S. mail (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid), addressed as follows:

(c)                                  Lost or Stolen Certificate.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a certificate representing a Holder’s Preferred Shares, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent, and upon surrender and cancellation of such certificate if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver to such Holder a new certificate identical in all respects to the original certificate.

 

(d)                                 No Voting Rights.  Except as provided by applicable law and paragraph 10(g) below, the Holders of the Preferred Shares shall have no voting rights with respect to the business, management or affairs of the Company; provided that the Company shall provide each Holder with prior notification of each meeting of stockholders (and copies of proxy statements and other information sent to such stockholders).

Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder hereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a material breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company agrees, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, each Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an

(f)                                    Failure or Delay not Waiver.  No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

 

(g)                                 Protective Provisions. So long as shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the written approval of the Holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock:

 

(i)                                     alter, change, modify or amend (x) the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock in any way or (y) the terms of any other capital stock of the Company so as to affect adversely the Series B Preferred Stock;

 

(ii)                                  create any new class or series of capital stock having a preference over or ranking pari passu with the Series B Preferred Stock as to redemption or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation Event or any other liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company;

 

(iii)                               increase the authorized number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock;

 

(iv)                              re-issue any shares of Series B Preferred Stock which have been converted or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof;

 

(v)                                 issue any Pari Passu Securities or Senior Securities;

 

(vi)                              redeem, or declare, pay or make any provision for any dividend or distribution with respect to Junior Securities; or

 

(vii)                           issue any Series B Preferred Stock except pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

In the event that the Holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock agree to allow the Company to alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, then the Company will deliver notice of such approved change to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock that did not agree to such alteration or change (the “Dissenting Holders”) and the Dissenting Holders shall have the right for a period of thirty (30) days following such delivery to convert their Preferred Shares pursuant to the terms hereof as they existed prior to such alteration or change, or to continue to hold such Preferred Shares.  No such change shall be effective to the extent that, by its terms, such change applies to less than all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding.
