Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, conversion or otherwise, (ii) issue further shares of Series B Preferred Stock or increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the number of authorized shares of Series B Preferred Stock or (iii) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. Holders of shares of Common Stock acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the same voting rights as each other Holder of Common Stock, except that such Holders may not vote such shares upon the proposal for Stockholder Approval (as defined below) in accordance with Rule 5635 of the listing rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.

 

(b) Any vote required or permitted under Section 4(a) may be taken at a meeting of the Holders or through the execution of an action by written consent in lieu of such meeting, provided that the consent is executed by Holders representing a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

 

5. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the Holders of Common Stock and any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation (collectively, the “Junior Stock”), an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Value plus all accrued and unpaid Dividends thereon or (ii) the amount that such Holder would receive if such Holder converted all of its shares of Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets and funds available for distribution among the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such Holders of the full preferential amount aforesaid, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock in proportion to the amount that each such Holder is entitled to receive. After the payment of the full amount of the liquidation preference to which they are entitled, the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation. The consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or entity, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation for purposes of this Section 5.

 

6. Conversion. The Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the following conversion rights:

 

(a) Optional Conversion. At any time after the Original Issue Date, each Holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right, at such Holder's option, to convert any or all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such Holder into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Stated Value of such share of Series B Preferred Stock plus all accrued and unpaid Dividends thereon (the “Conversion Amount”) by (ii) the Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect on the date of conversion. Such conversion shall be effected by the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted, duly endorsed or assigned in blank to the Corporation or in such other form as the Corporation may reasonably require, at the principal office of the Corporation or the office of the transfer agent for the Series B Preferred Stock, accompanied by written notice of conversion in the form attached as Annex A hereto (the “Notice of Conversion”) specifying the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted and the name or names in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for Common Stock to be issued.

 

(b) Conversion Price. Subject to adjustment as provided herein, the conversion price (the "Conversion Price") in effect on any conversion date shall be equal to 90% of the lowest closing


volume-weighted average price (the "VWAP") of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market (or such other national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed) for the five Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the conversion notice delivered by the Holder of Series B Preferred Stock (the "Conversion Notice Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversion price shall not be lower than $1.294 per share (the "Floor Price"), subject to adjustment as provided herein. If the Corporation issues any shares of the same class of Series B Preferred Stock at any time while any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the conversion price of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be adjusted to the lowest conversion price of any such newly issued shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

 

(c) Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(i)
Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than one (1) Trading Day after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, which Conversion Shares shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions. The Corporation shall deliver the Conversion Shares electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

 

(ii)
Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to the Holder any original Series B Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Notice of Conversion.

 

(iii)
Obligation Absolute. The Corporation's obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Corporation of any such action that the Corporation may have against such Holder. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of the Stated Value of its Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Series B Preferred Stock of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained, and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 100% of the Stated Value of Series B Preferred Stock which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares and, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Corporation fails to deliver to a Holder such Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 6(c)(i) on the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Corporation shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Stated Value of Series B Preferred Stock being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the first Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until such Conversion Shares

are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages for the Corporation's failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

 

(iv)
Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Corporation fails for any reason to deliver to a Holder the applicable Conversion Shares by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 6(c)(i) and if after such Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder's brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which such Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Corporation shall (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) such Holder's total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock submitted for conversion (in which case, such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6(c)(i). For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to pay such Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Corporation, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Corporation's failure to timely deliver Conversion Shares upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(d) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6(a), to the extent that, after giving effect to such attempted conversion set forth on an applicable Notice of Conversion (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock, such Holder (or any of such Holder’s affiliates or any other Person who would be a beneficial owner of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, including any “group” of which the Holder is a member (the foregoing, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock subject to the Notice of Conversion with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Series B Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Attribution Parties, and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation (including any warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Attribution Parties


that are subject to and would exceed a limitation on conversion or exercise similar to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and the terms “beneficial ownership” and “beneficially own” have the meanings ascribed to such terms therein. In addition, for purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission. For purposes of this Section 6(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (A) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation that is filed with the Commission, or (C) a more recent notice by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Upon the written request of a Holder (which may be by email), the Corporation shall, within two (2) Trading Days thereof, confirm in writing to such Holder (which may be via email) 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 any actual conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including shares of Series B Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was last publicly reported or confirmed to the Holder. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall initially be set at 4.9% for each Holder and its Attribution Parties and may be adjusted at the discretion of the Holder to a percentage between 4.9% and 19.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Notice of Conversion, to the extent permitted by this Section 6(d). The Corporation shall be entitled to rely on representations made to it by the Holder in any Notice of Conversion regarding its Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by written notice to the Corporation, (i) which will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such written notice is delivered to the Corporation, the Holder may reset the Beneficial Ownership Limitation percentage to a higher percentage, not to exceed 19.9%, to the extent then applicable and (ii) which will be effective immediately after such notice is delivered to the Corporation, the Holder may reset the Beneficial Ownership Limitation percentage to a lower percentage (but in no event less than 4.9%) provided that such decrease shall not become effective until the later of (x) 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the third Business Day after the date of the Stockholder Approval and (y) if Stockholder Approval is not obtained within six months after the initial issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, the date that is three Business Days after the date that is six months after the initial issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock. Upon such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, not to exceed 19.9%, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further amended by such Holder without first providing the minimum notice required by this Section 6(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time following notice of a Fundamental Transaction, the Holder may waive and/or change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation effective immediately upon written notice to the Corporation and may reinstitute a Beneficial Ownership Limitation at any time thereafter effective immediately upon written notice to the Corporation. The provisions of this Section 6(d) shall be construed, corrected and implemented in a manner so as to effectuate the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained and the shares of Common Stock underlying the securities in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act.

 

(e) Principal Market Regulation. The Corporation shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designation if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Corporation may issue upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock without breaching the Corporation’s obligations under the rules and regulations the listing rules of the Principal Market (the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall


not apply in the event that the Corporation obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Principal Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount. Until such approval is obtained, no Holder shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (i) the Exchange Cap as of the Original Issue Date multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued to such Holder on the Original Issue Date, divided by (2) the aggregate number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding as of the Original Issue Date (with respect to each Holder, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation with respect to such portion of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock so transferred, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation so allocated to such transferee.

 

(f) Conversion Adjustments. The Conversion Price and the Floor Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(i) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of or payment of Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock), (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then in each case the Floor Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (i) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

 

 

(ii) Subsequent Rights Offerings. If at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder of will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of such Holder's Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or Exchange Cap) immediately before 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, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or Exchange Cap, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or Exchange Cap).

 

(iii) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Corporation, at any time while the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (A) evidences of its indebtedness, (B) any


security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding clause (i)) or (C) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (D) any other asset (in each case, "Distributed Property"), then in each case the Floor Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Floor Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately following the date of such distribution and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such Trading Day less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of the Distributed Property so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock of the portion of the Distributed Property so distributed and the calculation of such adjustments. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

 

(iv) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, (A) the Corporation effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another entity, (B) the Corporation effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Corporation effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a "Fundamental Transaction"), then, upon any subsequent conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the holders thereof 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, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the "Alternate Consideration"). The Corporation shall not effect any such Fundamental Transaction unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Corporation, surviving entity or other person (including any purchaser of assets of the Corporation) shall assume in writing all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation, in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designation, and shall deliver to each Holder of Series B Preferred Stock a written notice briefly describing the Fundamental Transaction and stating that such successor, surviving entity or other person has assumed such obligations.

 

(v) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 6(f) shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 6(f), the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

(vi) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 6(f), the Corporation at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Designation and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Floor Price and the number of shares of Common Stock and other securities or property issuable upon conversion of each share of Series B Preferred Stock, at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of the transaction or event giving rise to such adjustment and following the record date or effective date of such transaction or event. Upon the occurrence of any such record date or effective date, the Corporation shall deliver a copy of such certificate to each Holder of Series B Preferred Stock at such Holder's last address as shown on the books of the Corporation.

 

(g) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be


entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price on the Conversion Notice Date.

 

(h) Reservation of Common Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

 

(i) Issuance of Certificates. As soon as practicable after the surrender of the certificate or certificates for Series B Preferred Stock and the delivery of the written notice of conversion as aforesaid, the Corporation shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered, to the Holder or Holders thereof a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and a check or wire transfer in payment of any fractional shares as provided in Section 6(g) hereof.

 

(j) No Reissuance of Series B Preferred Stock. In the event any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to this Section 6 or redeemed pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the shares so converted or redeemed shall be canceled and shall not be issuable by the Corporation.

 

(k) Transfer taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the registered Holder(s) of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

 

7. Redemption.

 

(a) Optional Redemption by the Corporation. The Corporation may, at any time and at its sole option, request to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to 115% of the Stated Value plus all accrued and unpaid Dividends thereon (the "Redemption Price"), by delivering a written notice (the "Redemption Notice") to each Holder of Series B Preferred Stock at least 10 Trading Days prior to the date fixed for redemption (the "Redemption Date"). The Redemption Notice shall state (i) the Redemption Date, (ii) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, (iii) the Redemption Price, and (iv) the place where the certificate or certificates for Series B Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price. During the period from the date of delivery of the Redemption Notice until the Redemption Date, each Holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert such Holder's shares of Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock in accordance with Section 6 hereof.

 

(b) Optional Redemption upon Future Financing. Upon the closing of any equity or equity-linked financing by the Corporation after the Original Issuance Date (a "Subsequent Financing"), the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require the Corporation to redeem, out of the proceeds of such Subsequent Financing, up to twenty-five (25%) of the aggregate amount of net proceeds raised by the


Corporation in the Subsequent Financing, outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the Stated Value plus all accrued and unpaid Dividends thereon (the “Subsequent Financing Redemption Price”). The Holder shall exercise such right by delivering a written notice to the Corporation within five (5) Trading Days after receiving notice from the Corporation of the terms and conditions of the Subsequent Financing, specifying the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed. The Corporation shall redeem such Series B Preferred Stock within five (5) Trading Days after receiving such notice from the Holder, by paying the Subsequent Financing Redemption Price in cash.

 

(b) Surrender of Certificates; Payment of Redemption Price. On or before the applicable Redemption Date, each Holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, unless such Holder has exercised his, her or its right to convert such shares as provided in Section 6, shall, if a Holder of shares in certificated form, surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or, if such registered Holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof. In the event less than all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the unredeemed shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall promptly be issued to such Holder.

 

(c) Status of Redeemed Shares. Any shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 7 shall be canceled and shall not be reissued by the Corporation.

 

8. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Redemption Notice or notice of adjustment) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or email attachment at the facsimile number or email address specified in the books and records of the Corporation as of the date of such transmission prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or email attachment at the facsimile number or email address specified in the books and records of the Corporation as of the date of such transmission on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service specifying next Business Day delivery, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given, if by hand delivery. The address for such notices or communications shall be as set forth in the books and records of the Corporation.

 

9. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Lost or Mutilated Certificates. Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificates representing Series B Preferred Stock, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, and upon surrender and cancellation of the certificate(s), if mutilated, the Corporation shall execute and deliver new certificate(s) of like tenor and date.

 

(b) Waiver. Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder of Series B Preferred Stock of a breach of any provision of this Certificate of Designation shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Certificate of Designation.


The failure of the Corporation or a Holder of Series B Preferred Stock to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Certificate of Designation on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party (or any other Holder of Series B Preferred Stock) of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Certificate of Designation. Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder of Series B Preferred Stock must be in writing.

 

(c) Severability. If any provision of this Certificate of Designation is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Certificate of Designation shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law.

 

(d) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

(e) Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Certificate of Designation and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

(f) Status of Converted or Redeemed Series B Preferred Stock. If any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be converted, redeemed or reacquired by the Corporation, such shares shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and shall no longer be designated as Series B Preferred Stock.
