2.3.3                     Amount Deemed Paid or Distributed.  The amount deemed paid or distributed to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation upon any such merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, exclusive license, other disposition or redemption shall be the cash or the value of the property, rights or securities paid or distributed to such holders by the Corporation or the acquiring person, firm or other entity.  The value of such property, rights or securities shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

 

2.3.4                     Allocation of Escrow.  In the case of a Deemed Liquidation Event pursuant to Subsection 2.3.1(a)(i) above, if any portion of the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation is placed into escrow and/or is payable to the stockholders of the Corporation subject to contingencies, the Merger Agreement shall provide that (a) the portion of

 


 

 

such consideration that is not placed in escrow and not subject to any contingencies (the “Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 2.1 and 2.2 above as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event and (b) any additional consideration which becomes payable to the stockholders of the Corporation upon release from escrow or satisfaction of contingencies shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 2.1 and 2.2 above after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction.  The result of this approach is that, for certain transactions, the portion of the transaction consideration that is subject to an escrow or other contingencies may be allocated disproportionately to the holders of Common Stock.

4.         Optional Conversion.

 

The holders of the Designated Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

 

4.1                               Right to Convert.

 

4.1.1                     Conversion Ratio.  Each share of Designated Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (i) in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series A Original Issue Price by the Series A Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion, (ii) in the case of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Series A-1 Original Issue Price by the Series A-1 Conversion Price (as defined below)

 



 

in effect at the time of conversion, (iii) in the case of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series B Original Issue Price by the Series B Conversion Price (as defined below) and (iv) in the case of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Series C Original Issue Price by the Series C Conversion Price (as defined below) and (v) in the case of the Series D Preferred Stock, the Series D Original Issue Price by the Series D Conversion Price (as defined below).  The “Series A Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $0.8388.  The “Series A-1 Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $0.9022.  The “Series B Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $0.9339.  The “Series C Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $0.9339.  The “Series D Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $0.5887.  Such initial Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price and Series D Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below.

 

4.1.2                     Incremental Conversion.  In the event that,

 

(a)                                 the Corporation consummates the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public in the Corporation’s first underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “IPO”),

 

(b)                                 any holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock that, immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, is contractually entitled to purchase shares of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series D Purchase Agreement (as defined in Subsection 4.4.1 hereof) upon exercise of such holder’s Second Tranche Individual Purchase Right (as defined in the Series D Purchase Agreement) or Third Tranche Individual Purchase Right (as defined in the Series D Purchase Agreement) (assuming, for purposes of this clause (b), that the restrictions set forth in the Series D Purchase Agreement with respect to purchasing shares of Series D Preferred Stock during the Restricted Period (as defined in the Series D Purchase Agreement) are not applicable),

 

(c)                                  such holder referred to in clause (b) above is offered the opportunity to purchases shares of Common Stock in the IPO and such holder purchases shares of Common Stock in the IPO, and

 

(d)                                 the price per share of Common Stock at which the Corporation sells shares of Common Stock to the public pursuant to the IPO (the “IPO Price”) is greater than the Series D Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the IPO,

 

then, upon conversion of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the closing of the IPO (regardless of whether such conversion occurs immediately prior to the closing of the IPO or at any time thereafter), each share of Series D Preferred Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, when converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4, shall, in addition to converting into the number of shares of Common Stock determined in accordance with Subsection 4.1.1 at the conversion rate in effect for the Series D Preferred Stock at the time of such conversion, also convert into an additional number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (A) the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock purchased in the IPO

 



 

by such holder up to a maximum number equal to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable pursuant Subsection 4.1.1 above upon conversion, immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, of the maximum number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock that such holder is contractually entitled to purchase, immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Series D Purchase Agreement upon exercise of such holder’s Second Tranche Individual Purchase Right and/or Third Tranche Individual Purchase Right, as applicable, assuming for purposes of determining such maximum number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock that the restrictions set forth in the Series D Purchase Agreement with respect to purchasing shares of Series D Preferred Stock during the Restricted Period are not applicable and assuming for purposes of this clause (i) that such holder purchased and held such maximum number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock immediately prior to the closing of the IPO and (ii) the remainder obtained by subtracting the number 1 from the quotient obtained by dividing the IPO Price by the Series D Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, by (B) the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the IPO.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of such holder to receive any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Subsection 4.1.2 upon conversion of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the closing of the IPO is subject to, and contingent upon, the Corporation having received reasonable confirmation or verification that such holder purchased shares of Common Stock in the IPO, which reasonable confirmation or verification may include, among other things, written confirmation by the underwriter or underwriters of the IPO that such holder received a particular allocation of shares of Common Stock in the IPO and that such holder has agreed to purchase such shares in the IPO.

 

4.1.3                     Termination of Conversion Rights.  In the event of a notice of redemption of any shares of Designated Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6, the Conversion Rights of the shares designated for redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for redemption, unless the redemption price is not fully paid on such redemption date, in which case the Conversion Rights for such shares shall continue until such price is paid in full.  In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or a Deemed Liquidation Event, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Designated Preferred Stock.

 

4.2                               Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Designated 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 fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.  Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Designated Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

 

4.3                               Mechanics of Conversion.

 

4.3.1                     Notice of Conversion.  In order for a holder of Designated Preferred Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Designated Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of

 



 

Designated Preferred Stock (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), at the office of the transfer agent for the Designated Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that such holder elects to convert all or any number of the shares of the Designated Preferred Stock represented by such certificate or certificates and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent.  Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued.  If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing.  The close of business on the date of the last to occur of (i) the receipt by the transfer agent (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) of such certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) and notice, or (ii) if such conversion is contingent upon the occurrence of any event, the occurrence of such event, shall be the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares represented by such certificate shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date.  The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, issue and deliver to such holder of Designated Preferred Stock, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof,  a certificate for the number (if any) of the shares of Designated Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Stock, and cash as provided in Subsection 4.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and payment of any declared but unpaid dividends (but not any undeclared Accruing Dividends) on the shares of Designated Preferred Stock converted.

 

4.3.2                     Reservation of Shares.  The Corporation shall at all times when the Designated Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Designated Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Designated 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 Designated Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation.  Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Series A Conversion Price,  Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted

 



 

Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Conversion Price.

 

4.3.3                     Effect of Conversion.  All shares of Designated Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon.  Any shares of Designated Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Designated Preferred Stock accordingly.

 

4.3.4                     No Further Adjustment.  Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Conversion Price shall be made for any accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion.

 

4.3.5                     Taxes.  The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Designated Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4.  The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Designated Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

4.4.3                     Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

 

(a)                                 If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series D Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.

 

(b)                                 If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.4.4 below, are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price,  Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Conversion Price, as applicable, computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have the effect of increasing the Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B

 


 

 

Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Conversion Price, as the case may be, in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security, or (ii) the Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

 

(c)                                  If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.4.4 below (either because the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Subsection 4.4.5 hereof) of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the Series D Original Issue Date), are revised after the Series D Original Issue Date as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Subsection 4.4.3(a) above) shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.

 

(d)                                 Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.4.4 below, the Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Conversion Price, as applicable, shall be readjusted to such Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Conversion Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Security (or portion thereof) never been issued.

 

(e)                                  If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D

 



 

Conversion Price provided for in this Subsection 4.4.3 shall be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in clauses (b) and (c) of this Subsection 4.4.3).  If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Conversion Price that would result under the terms of this Subsection 4.4.3 at the time of such issuance or amendment shall instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming for purposes of calculating such adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Conversion Price that such issuance or amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.

CP2 = CP1 * (A + B) ÷ (A + C)

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

4.6                               Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions.  In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series D Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common

(1)                                 the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

 

(2)                                 the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price and Series D Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Series A Conversion Price, Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price and Series D Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (b) no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Designated Preferred Stock simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

 

4.7                               Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions.  In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series D Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property and the provisions of Section 1 do not apply to such dividend or distribution, then and in each such event the holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Designated Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

4.10                        Notice of Record Date.  In the event:

 

(a)                                 the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Designated Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or

If so required by the Corporation, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing.  All rights with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock converted pursuant to Subsection 5A.1, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the time of the Special Mandatory Conversion (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender any certificates for such shares at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of any certificate or certificates of such holders therefor (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement), to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this Subsection 5A.2.  As soon as practicable after the Special Mandatory Conversion and, if applicable, the surrender of any certificate or certificates
