Section 4. Dividends.

(a) Rate. Holders of Series E shall be entitled to receive on each share of Series E, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends under Delaware law, cumulative cash dividends at a per annum rate of 14% on the Liquidation Value thereof and all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon that have been compounded in accordance with the following sentence. Such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from the Original Issue Date of such share and shall be payable semi-annually in arrears (as provided in this Section 4) and shall, until paid, compound additional dividends semi-annually in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date on such Liquidation Value and all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon whether or not declared by the Board. Dividends shall be payable only when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors. If any Dividend Payment Date would otherwise occur on a day that is not a Business Day, such Dividend Payment Date shall instead be (and any dividend payable on Series E on such Dividend Payment Date shall instead be payable on) the immediately succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Dividend Payment Date. The amount of dividends payable on the Series E shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and with respect to any date of determination that is not a Dividend Payment Date, actual days elapsed over a 30-day month.

Dividends that are payable on Series E on any Dividend Payment Date shall be payable to holders of record of Series E as they appear on the stock register of the Corporation on the applicable record date, which shall be fixed by the Board of Directors and not more than 60 nor less than 10 days prior to such Dividend Payment Date (each, a “Dividend Record Date”). Any such day that is a Dividend Record Date shall be a Dividend Record Date whether or not such day is a Business Day.

Each dividend period (a “Dividend Period”) shall commence on the calendar day immediately following a Dividend Payment Date (other than the initial Dividend Period with respect to any share of Series E, which shall commence on and include the Original Issue Date of such share) and shall end on and include the next Dividend Payment Date. Dividends payable in respect of a Dividend Period shall be payable in arrears on the Dividend Payment Date ending such Dividend Period.

(b) No Dividends on Junior Stock. So long as the Initial Purchaser and its Permitted Transferees collectively hold at least 10% of the Series E issued to the Initial Purchaser at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement (or if all such Series E is exchanged into Subordinated Notes pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, at least 10% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Subordinated Notes), unless and until dividends have been declared and paid on the Series E for the then-current Dividend Period and past Dividend Periods in cash, no dividends (other than dividends in shares of Junior Stock) may be declared or paid or set aside for payment, and no other distribution may be declared or made, upon Junior Stock; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing dividends or other distributions payable in cash upon Junior Stock may be declared or paid or set aside for payment in any then-current Dividend Period in which the semi-annual dividend amount payable on the Series E has been paid in cash for the same then-current Dividend Period (whether or not any accrued or unpaid dividends have been declared or paid on the Series E for any other Dividend Period). So long as any Series E is outstanding, no Junior Stock may be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares) by the Corporation, except (A) by conversion into or exchange for Junior Stock (including any shares of Common Stock surrendered to or withheld by the Corporation upon the exercise of warrants issuable for Common Stock), (B) for the repurchase of any shares of Common Stock held by employees or consultants of the Corporation upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors providing for such repurchase or (C) for any shares of Common Stock withheld by the Corporation to pay taxes upon the granting or vesting of awards to any of its employees or service providers under any equity compensation plan of the Corporation approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors or surrendered to or withheld by the Corporation to pay the exercise price of any such awards.

(c) Participating Dividends. Subject to Section 4(a) and 4(b), in addition to the dividends accruing on the Series E pursuant to Section 4(a), if the Corporation declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock, whether such dividend or distribution is payable in cash, securities or other property, the Corporation shall simultaneously declare and pay a dividend on the Series E on a pro rata basis with the Common Stock in an aggregate amount equal to such dividend or distribution payable with respect to the Participation Common Stock.

Section 5. Liquidation Rights.

(a) Voluntary or Involuntary Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Series E shall be entitled to receive for each share of Series E, out of the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof (whether capital or surplus) available for distribution to stockholders of the Corporation, and after satisfaction of all liabilities and obligations to creditors of the Corporation, before any distribution of such assets or proceeds is made to or set aside for the holders of Common Stock and any other Junior Stock, payment in full in an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference of each share of Series E.

(b) Partial Payment. If in any distribution described in Section 5(a), the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof are not sufficient to pay the Liquidation Preferences in full to all holders of Series E as to such distribution, the amounts paid to the holders of Series E shall be paid pro rata in accordance with the respective aggregate Liquidation Preferences of the holders of Series E.

(c) Participation with Common Stock; Residual Distributions. If the Liquidation Preference has been paid in full to all holders of Series E, the holders of other stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to receive all remaining assets of the Corporation (or proceeds thereof) according to their respective rights and preferences; provided, however, that in addition to and after the Liquidation Preference has been paid in full to all holders of Series E, the holders of Series E shall be entitled to participate with the holders of Common Stock then outstanding, pro rata as a single class as if such holders of Series E held the Participation Common Stock, which amounts shall be paid to the holders of Series E pro rata in accordance with the respective aggregate Liquidation Preferences of the shares of Series E held by each such holder of Series E.

(d) Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets Not Liquidation. For purposes of this Section 5, the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with any other corporation or other entity, including a merger or consolidation in which the holders of Series E receive cash, securities or other property for their shares, or the sale, lease or exchange (for cash, securities or other property) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, shall not constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, but shall be governed by Section 7.

Section 6. Redemption.

(a) Optional Redemption by Holders Subject to the provisions of this Section 6, at any time on or after the Optional Redemption Date, each holder of Series E shall have the right to elect to have, out of funds legally available therefor, such holder’s shares of Series E redeemed, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, by the Corporation at a redemption price per share equal to the Liquidation Preference of such share as of the redemption date. Any such redemption shall occur not more than 90 days following receipt by the Corporation of a written election notice from the electing holder.

(b) Optional Redemption by the Corporation. The Corporation, at its option, may redeem, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, the shares of Series E at the time outstanding, upon notice given as provided in Section 6 below, at a redemption price per share equal to the Liquidation Preference of such share as of the redemption date.

(c) Notice of Redemption. Notice of every redemption of shares of Series E shall be given to the holders of record of the shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the books of the Corporation. Such mailing shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. Any notice mailed as provided in this Section 6(c) shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to any holder of shares of Series E designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Series E. Each notice of redemption given to a holder shall state: (1) the redemption date; (2) the number of shares of Series E to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; and (3) the redemption price. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 6, the Corporation shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 6 by virtue thereof.

(d) Partial Redemption. In case of any redemption pursuant to Section 6(b) of part of the shares of Series E at the time outstanding, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata among holders of the Series E.

(e) Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given and if on or before the redemption date specified in the notice all funds necessary for the redemption have been set aside for payment by the Corporation, then on and after the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on all shares so called for redemption, all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such redemption date cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption, without interest. Any funds unclaimed at the end of three years from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released to the Corporation, after which time the holders of the shares so called for redemption shall look only to the Corporation for payment of the redemption price of such shares.

(f) Settlement in Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 6 (but subject to Section 6(f)(ii)), (i) subject to the Corporation having the prior written consent of the electing holder of Series E (in the case of a redemption pursuant to Section 6(a)) or the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series E (in the case of a redemption pursuant to Section 6(b)) and all other required approvals, including under any principal U.S. securities exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, any redemption of shares of Series E pursuant to this Section 6 may be made, in lieu of some or all of the cash redemption payment, by the issuance of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Common Stock Price equal to the amount of the aggregate Liquidation Preference of such shares of Series E being redeemed in shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash at the redemption date; provided, that if the Corporation pays less than the total redemption price in shares of Common Stock, subject to receipt of the consent and approvals referenced above, such payment in shares of Common Stock shall be made pro rata to the holders of shares of Series E based upon the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the shares of Series E held by each holder and the remainder shall be paid in cash; and (ii) the electing holder of Series E (in the case of a redemption pursuant to Section 6(a)) or the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series E (in the case of a redemption pursuant to Section 6(b)) shall be entitled in their sole discretion to require the Company to redeem the Participation Rights Value of each share of Series E subject to redemption pursuant to Section 6(a) or Section 6(b), as applicable, by the issuance of a number of shares of Common Stock (or a warrant immediately exercisable at no cost into a number of shares of Common Stock) with respect to such share of Series E equal to the product of clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition of Participation Rights Value determined as of the date of redemption. Any such consent or election by the holder or holders of Series E, as applicable, shall not be effective unless given to the Company in writing not later than 10 days following receipt by such holder or holders of a notice of redemption from the Company in accordance with this Section 6. Any failure to deliver such consent or election within such 10-day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of such holder’s or holders’ right to consent or elect, in which case the Company shall be entitled to redeem such Series E (including the Participation Rights Value) in cash or shares of Common Stock at the sole election of the Company.

Section 7. Offer to Purchase Upon a Change of Control.

(vi) that any holder of a share of Series E shall be entitled to withdraw such election if the Corporation or its designated agent receives, not later than the close of business on the Change of Control Payment Date, electronic transmission or letter setting forth the name of the holder of such shares of Series E, the number of shares of Series E such holder delivered for purchase, and a statement that such holder is withdrawing its election to have such shares of Series E purchased;
