The initial Conversion Price of each series of Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided below, subject to the terms of Section 4(e) hereof. The number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of Preferred Stock is convertible is hereinafter referred to as the Conversion Rate of such series.
(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into share(s) of Common Stock at its then effective Conversion Rate of such series of Preferred Stock immediately upon the earlier of (i) the closing of the sale of this corporations Common Stock in a firm commitment, underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), with aggregate offering proceeds to this corporation (before deduction for underwriters discounts and expenses relating to the issuance) of at least Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) and a public offering price per share equal to at least three (3) times the Original Issue Price for the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, or (ii) at the election of the holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock voting as a separate class on an as-converted basis.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, the holder shall surrender the certificate(s) therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of this corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock and shall give written notice to this corporation at such office that the holder elects to convert the same (except that no such written notice of election to convert shall be necessary in the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof). This corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock certificate(s) for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted (except that in the case of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 4(b)(i) hereof such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the closing of the offering referred to in Section 4(b)(i)) or in the case of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii) hereof, immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the election referred to in Section 4(b)(ii) and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date. If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten public offering of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering such Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event any persons entitled to receive Common Stock upon conversion of such Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.
(d) Fractional Shares. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder of Preferred Stock would otherwise be entitled, this corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one share of such series of Preferred Stock as determined by the board of directors of this corporation. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock of each holder at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.
(e) Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock (Series A Conversion Price), the Conversion Price of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock (Series A-1 Conversion Price), the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock (Series B Conversion Price) and the Conversion Price of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock (Series B-1 Conversion Price and, collectively with the Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price and Series B Conversion Price, each a Preferred Stock Conversion Price) shall each be subject to independent adjustment from time to time as follows:

(ii) Adjustment of Conversion Price for Dilutive Issuances.
(A) If this corporation issues or is deemed to issue any Common Stock in a Dilutive Issuance at any time after the initial date shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock are issued and on or before December 31, 2013, then (1) the Series B-1 Conversion Price in effect after each such issuance shall be reduced to the consideration per share received by this corporation for such issue or deemed issue of Common Stock in a Dilutive Issuance; provided that if such issuance or deemed issuance was without consideration, then this corporation shall be deemed to have received an aggregate of $0.001 of consideration for all such Common Stock in a Dilutive Issuance issued or deemed to be issued and (2) the Series A-1 Conversion Price and the Series B Conversion Price in effect after each such issuance shall be adjusted to a price determined pursuant to Section 4(e)(ii)(B) below as if the Dilutive Issuance occurred after December 31, 2013.

(1) the numerator of which shall be (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and issuable on exercise of all outstanding Options and Convertible Securities immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance, plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration, if any, received by this corporation in connection with the Dilutive Issuance would purchase at such Preferred Stock Conversion Price, and

(B) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined by the board of directors of this corporation, in accordance with generally accepted accounting treatment; provided, however, that if at the time of such determination, this corporations Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter market or on a national or regional securities exchange, such fair market value as determined by the board of directors of this corporation shall not exceed the aggregate Current Market Price (as defined below) of the shares of Common Stock being issued.
(C) In the case of the issuance of Purchase Rights in a Dilutive Issuance:
(1) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of Options shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such Options were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in (iii) (A) and (B) above), if any, received by this corporation upon the issuance of such Options plus the minimum purchase price provided in such Options covered thereby;
(2) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion or exercise of or exchange for any Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such Convertible Securities were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration received by this corporation for any such Convertible Securities (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any; to be received by this corporation upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined in the manner provided in (iii) (A) and (B) above);
(3) on any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of any such Purchase Rights or on any change in the minimum purchase price of such Purchase Rights, the Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Preferred Stock Conversion Price as would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon (x) the issuance of such Purchase Rights not exercised, converted or exchanged prior to such change, as the case may be, been made upon the basis of such change or (y) the issuance of options or rights related to such securities not converted or exchanged prior to such change, as the case may be, been made upon the basis of such change; and
(4) on the expiration of any Purchase Rights, the Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Preferred Stock Conversion Price as would have obtained had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such Purchase Right been made upon the basis of the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such Purchase Rights.
(iv) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date of this Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the Filing Date) is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a subdivision or split-up of shares of Common Stock, then, on the date such payment is made or such change is effective, the applicable Conversion Price shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of any shares of such Preferred Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares.
(v) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Filing Date is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock then, on the effective date of such combination, the applicable Conversion Price shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
(vi) In case this corporation shall declare a cash dividend upon its Common Stock payable otherwise than out of retained earnings or shall distribute to holders of its Common Stock shares of its capital stock (other than Common Stock); stock or other securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by this corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights (excluding Purchase Rights), then, in each such case, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall, concurrent with the distribution to holders of Common Stock, receive a like distribution based upon the number of shares of Common Stock into which each series of Preferred Stock is convertible.
(vii) In case, at any time after the date hereof, of any capital reorganization, or any reclassification of the stock of this corporation (other than as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares provided for under Section 4(e)(iv) or (v) above), or the consolidation or merger of this corporation with or into another person (other than a consolidation or merger in which this corporation is the continuing entity and which does not result in any change in the Common Stock), or of the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the properties and assets of this corporation (Transaction), the shares of Preferred Stock shall, after such Transaction, be convertible into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of this corporation or otherwise to which such holder would have been entitled if immediately prior to such Transaction the holder had converted the holders shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock. The provisions of this clause (vii) shall similarly apply to successive Transactions.
(viii) All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100 of a share, as the case may be.
(ix) For the purpose of any computation pursuant to this Section 4(e), the Current Market Price at any date of one share of Common Stock, shall be deemed to be the average of the highest reported bid and the lowest reported offer prices on the preceding
business day as reported by Nasdaq (or equivalent recognized source of quotations); provided, however, that if the Common Stock is not traded in such manner that the quotations referred to in this clause (ix) are available for the period required hereunder, Current Market Price shall be determined in good faith by the board of directors of this corporation.
(f) Minimal Adjustments. No adjustment in the Conversion Price need be made if such adjustment would result in a change in the Conversion Price of less than $0.01. Any adjustment of less than $0.01 which is not made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, on a cumulative basis, amounts to an adjustment of $0.01 or more in the Conversion Price.
(g) [Reserved.]
(h) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 4, this corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which adjustment or readjustment is based. This corporation shall, upon request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Rate at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversions of such holders shares of Preferred Stock.
(i) Notices of Record Date.

(j) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. This corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, this corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
(k) Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 4 to be given to the holder of shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at such holders address appearing on the books of this corporation.

All of the preferential amounts to be paid to the holders of the Preferred Stock under this Section 2(a)(i) 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 assets of this corporation to, the holders of the Common Stock in connection with such Liquidating Transaction.
(ii) If, upon such Liquidating Transaction the assets of this corporation are insufficient to provide for the cash payment of the full aforesaid preferential amounts to the holders of the Preferred Stock, such assets as are available shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.
(iii) After payment has been made to the holders of the Preferred Stock of the full amounts to which they are entitled as provided in Section 2(a)(i) above, the remaining assets of this corporation available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed pro rata among the holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock (on an as-converted to Common Stock basis) until the holders of Preferred Stock have received an amount per share, including the amounts to which they are entitled as provided in Section 2(a)(i) above, equal to three (3) multiplied by the Original Issue Price per share of such Preferred Stock, for all of such holders shares of Preferred Stock (the Maximum Participation Amount); provided, however, that the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the greater of (x) the Maximum Participation Amount and (y) the amount such holder would have received if all shares of its Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such distribution.

4. Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the Conversion Rights):
(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock without the payment of any additional consideration by the holder thereof and, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of this corporation or any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock and shall be convertible into the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock which results from dividing the Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined) per share in effect for each series of Preferred Stock at the time of conversion into the per share Conversion Value (as hereinafter defined) of such series. The initial per share Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be Ninety-One Cents ($0.91). The per share Conversion Value of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be Ninety-One Cents ($0.91) (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalization and similar events relating to the Series A Preferred Stock).

(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into share(s) of Common Stock at its then effective Conversion Rate of such series of Preferred Stock immediately upon the earlier of (i) the closing of the sale of this corporations Common Stock in a firm commitment, underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), with aggregate offering proceeds to this corporation (before deduction for underwriters discounts and expenses relating to the issuance) of at least Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) and a public offering price per share equal to at least three (3) times the Original Issue Price for the Series A Preferred Stock, or (ii) at the election of the holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding shares of the Series A/A-1 Preferred Stock voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, the holder shall surrender the certificate(s) therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of this corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock and shall give written notice to this corporation at such office that the holder elects to convert the same (except that no such written notice of election to convert shall be necessary in the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof). This corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock certificate(s) for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted (except that in the case of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 4(b)(i) hereof such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the closing of the offering referred to in Section 4(b)(i)) or in the case of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii) hereof, immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the election referred to in Section 4(b)(ii) and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes
as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date. If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten public offering of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering such Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event any persons entitled to receive Common Stock upon conversion of such Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.
(d) Fractional Shares. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder of Preferred Stock would otherwise be entitled, this corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one share of such series of Preferred Stock as determined by the board of directors of this corporation. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock of each holder at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.
(e) Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock (Series A Conversion Price) and the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock (Series B Conversion Price) shall each be subject to independent adjustment from time to time as follows:

(A) the numerator of which shall be (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and issuable on exercise of all outstanding Options and Convertible Securities immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration, if any, received by this corporation in connection with the Dilutive Issuance would purchase at such Conversion Price, and
(B) the denominator of which shall be (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and issuable on exercise of all outstanding Options and Convertible Securities immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued in the Dilutive Issuance.
(iii) For purposes of any adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to clause (ii) above, the following provisions shall be applicable:
(A) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor after deducting any discounts or commissions paid or incurred by this corporation in connection with the issuance and sale thereof
(B) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined by the board of directors of this corporation, in accordance with generally accepted accounting treatment; provided, however, that if at the time of such determination, this corporations Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter market or on a national or regional securities exchange, such fair market value as determined by the board of directors of this corporation shall not exceed the aggregate Current Market Price (as defined below) of the shares of Common Stock being issued.
(C) In the case of the issuance of Purchase Rights in a Dilutive Issuance:
(1) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of Options shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such Options were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in (iii) (A) and (B) above), if any, received by this corporation upon the issuance of such Options plus the minimum purchase price provided in such Options covered thereby;
(2) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion or exercise of or exchange for any Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such Convertible Securities were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration received by this corporation for any such Convertible Securities (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any; to be received by this corporation upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined in the manner provided in (iii) (A) and (B) above);
(3) on any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of any such Purchase Rights or on any change in the minimum purchase price of such Purchase Rights, the Series A Conversion Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Series A Conversion Price as would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon (x) the issuance of such Purchase Rights not exercised, converted or exchanged prior to such change, as the case may be, been made upon the basis of such change or (y) the issuance of options or rights related to such securities not converted or exchanged prior to such change, as the case may be, been made upon the basis of such change; and
(4) on the expiration of any Purchase Rights, the Series A Conversion Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Series A Conversion Price as would have obtained had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such Purchase Right been made upon the basis of the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such Purchase Rights.
(iv) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date this Certificate of Incorporation is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the Filing Date) is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a subdivision or split-up of shares of Common Stock, then, on the date such payment is made or such change is effective, the applicable Conversion Price shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of any shares of such Preferred Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares.
(v) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Filing Date is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock then, on the effective date of such combination, the applicable Conversion Price shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
(vi) In case this corporation shall declare a cash dividend upon its Common Stock payable otherwise than out of retained earnings or shall distribute to holders of its Common Stock shares of its capital stock (other than Common Stock); stock or other securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by this corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights (excluding Purchase Rights), then, in each such case, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall, concurrent with the distribution to holders of Common Stock, receive a like distribution based upon the number of shares of Common Stock into which each series of Preferred Stock is convertible.
(vii) In case, at any time after the date hereof, of any capital reorganization, or any reclassification of the stock of this corporation (other than as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares provided for under Section 4(e)(iv) or (v) above), or the consolidation or merger of this corporation with or into another person (other than a consolidation or merger in which this corporation is the continuing entity and which does not result in any change in the Common Stock), or of the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the properties and assets of this corporation (Transaction), the shares of Preferred Stock shall, after such Transaction, be convertible into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of this corporation or otherwise to which such holder would have been entitled if immediately prior to such Transaction the holder had converted the holders shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock. The provisions of this clause (vii) shall similarly apply to successive Transactions.
(viii) All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100 of a share, as the case may be.
(ix) For the purpose of any computation pursuant to this Section 4(e), the Current Market Price at any date of one share of Common Stock, shall be deemed to be the average of the highest reported bid and the lowest reported offer prices on the preceding business day as reported by Nasdaq (or equivalent recognized source of quotations); provided, however, that if the
Common Stock is not traded in such manner that the quotations referred to in this clause (ix) are available for the period required hereunder, Current Market Price shall be determined in good faith by the board of directors of this corporation.
(f) Minimal Adjustments. No adjustment in the Conversion Price need be made if such adjustment would result in a change in the Conversion Price of less than $0.01. Any adjustment of less than $0.01 which is not made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, on a cumulative basis, amounts to an adjustment of $0.01 or more in the Conversion Price.
(g) Conversion Price of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. From and after such time as any share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock is issued and outstanding, the Conversion Price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance and shall not thereafter be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4(e) hereof
(h) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 4, this corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which adjustment or readjustment is based. This corporation shall, upon request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Rate at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversions of such holders shares of Preferred Stock.
(i) Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by this corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or to receive any other right, this corporation shall mail to each holder of Preferred Stock at least twenty (20) days prior to such record date, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.
Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. This corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, this corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
(k) Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 4 to be given to the holder of shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at such holders address appearing on the books of this corporation.
5. Special Mandatory Conversions.
(a) At any time following the date upon which any shares of Series A Preferred Stock were first issued, if (i) any holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to exercise the right of first offer (the Right of First Offer) as set forth in Section 3.1 of that certain Investors Rights Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2007, among this corporation and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, as such agreement may from time to time be amended (the Agreement), with respect to an equity financing of this corporation in which the purchase price is less than Ninety-One Cents ($0.91) per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalization and similar events) (which shall not include shares of Series A Preferred Stock offered by this corporation at the Subsequent Closing, as that term is defined in the Series A Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated on or about January 22, 2010, by and among this corporation and the parties thereto (the Purchase Agreement), notes issued pursuant to the 2012 Note Purchase Agreement or shares issued upon conversion of such notes) (an Equity Financing), (ii) this corporation has complied with its obligations under the Agreement with respect to the Right of First Offer, (iii) the terms of this Section 5(a) are not waived in writing by the holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock in connection with such Equity Financing and (iv) such holder does not by exercise of such holders Right of First Offer acquire the minimum amount of Offered Securities (defined below) to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Agreement or such lesser amount of securities (the Threshold Amount) agreed to in writing by this corporation and holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (excluding for this purpose any shares held by such holder), then all of such holders shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically and without further action on the part of such holder be converted into an equivalent number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Equity Financing. Offered Securities means the equity securities of this corporation set aside by the board of directors of this corporation for purchase by holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock in connection with an Equity Financing, and offered to such holders. For purposes of this Section 5(a), a holder and its Affiliates (as defined in the Agreement) shall, at the election of such holder, be treated as an Investor Group (as defined in the Agreement) and may reallocate the Right of First Offer among themselves as they determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a holder purchases some securities in an Equity Financing but not an amount equal to the Threshold Amount, only a Pro-rata Portion (as defined below) of such holders shares shall be converted into shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. Pro-rata Portion shall be equal to the percent of such holders Threshold Amount the holder does not purchase. The conversion provided for in this Section 5(a) shall not occur in connection with a particular Equity Financing if, pursuant to the written request of this corporation, the Right of First Offer with respect to such Equity Financing is waived in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Upon conversion pursuant to this Section 5, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted shall be canceled and not subject to reissuance.
(b) At any time following the filing and acceptance of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, if any holder of more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding Series A/A-1 Preferred Stock (a Major Preferred Stockholder) does not (either individually or through its affiliates) fund any portion of its Required Initial Closing Pro Rata Share (as defined in 2011 Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement) at the Initial Closing (as defined in 2011 Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement) (a Non-Participating Initial Closing Holder) pursuant to the 2011 Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, then a proportionate share of such Non-Participating Initial Closing Holders shares of Series A/A-1 Preferred Stock equal to any such deficiency shall automatically and without further action on the part of such Non-Participating Initial Closing Holder be, effective
immediately prior to, but subject to, the consummation of the Initial Closing, converted into Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Price for each series of Series A/A-1 Preferred Stock held by such Non-Participating Initial Closing Holder. Upon conversion pursuant to this Section 5(b), the shares of Series A/A-1 Preferred Stock so converted shall be cancelled and not subject to reissuance.
(c) At any time following the filing and acceptance of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, if any Major Preferred Stockholder does not (either individually or through its affiliates) fund any portion of its Required Additional Closing Pro Rata Share (as defined in 2011 Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement) at the Additional Closing (as defined in 2011 Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement) (a Non-Participating Additional Closing Holder) pursuant to the 2011 Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, then a proportionate share of such Non-Participating Additional Closing Holders shares of Series A/A-1 Preferred Stock equal to any such deficiency shall automatically and without further action on the part of such Non-Participating Additional Closing Holder be, effective immediately prior to, but subject to, the consummation of the Additional Closing, converted into Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Price for each series of Series A/A-1 Preferred Stock held by such Non-Participating Additional Closing Holder. Upon conversion pursuant to this Section 5(c), the shares of Series A/A-1 Preferred Stock so converted shall be cancelled and not subject to reissuance.
(d) The holder of any shares of Series A/A-1 Preferred Stock converted pursuant to Section 5(a), Section 5(b) or Section 5(c) hereof shall deliver to this corporation during regular business hours at the office of any transfer agent of this corporation for such series of Series A/A-1 Preferred Stock, or at such other place as may be designated by this corporation, the certificate or certificates representing the shares so converted, duly endorsed or assigned in blank or to this corporation, or a reasonably acceptable affidavit and indemnity undertaking in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate. As promptly thereafter as is practicable, this corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder, at the place designated by such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock or Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 5(a), Section 5(b) or Section 5(c) hereof, as applicable. The person in whose name the certificate for such shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, is to be issued shall be deemed to have become a stockholder on the effective date of the conversion of the Series A/A-1 Preferred Stock, unless the transfer books of this corporation are closed on that date, in which case such person shall be deemed to have become a stockholder of record on the next succeeding date on which the transfer books are open.
(e) This corporation shall not issue any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock except pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 5.
6. Protective Provisions.
