3.2 Liquidation Rights.

(a) In the event of any Liquidating Event (as defined below), each holder of a share of Seed Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C 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 or any other class or series of stock ranking on liquidation junior to the Seed Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, by reason of such holder’s ownership thereof, an amount per share of Seed Preferred Stock equal to the Seed Original Issue Price (as defined below), an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Series A Original Issue Price (as defined below), an amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the Series B Original Issue Price (as defined below), and an amount per share of Series C Preferred Stock equal to the Series C Original Issue Price (as defined below), plus in each case an amount equal to any declared but unpaid dividends on such series of Preferred Stock to and including the date full payment shall be tendered to the holders of such series of Preferred Stock with respect to such Liquidating Event (the amounts payable pursuant to this sentence are hereinafter referred to as the “Seed Liquidation Amount,” the “Series A Liquidation Amount,” the “Series B Liquidation Amount,” and the “Series C Liquidation Amount,” respectively, and, collectively, as the “Liquidation Amounts”). If the assets or surplus funds to be distributed to the holders of the Seed Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 3.2(a) are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full amount to which they shall be entitled, the assets and surplus funds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Seed Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock in proportion to the full Liquidation Amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3.2(a).

(b) All of the Liquidation Amounts to be paid to the holders of the Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 3.2 in the event of a Liquidating Event 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 the Corporation to, the holders of the Common Stock in connection with such Liquidating Event. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2(c) below, after payment or the setting apart of payment to the holders of the Preferred Stock of the Liquidation Amounts so payable to them, all remaining assets available for distribution (after payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of the Corporation) shall be distributed to the holders of the Common Stock ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock they then hold.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.2 to the contrary, if a holder of any share of Preferred Stock would receive a greater amount than pursuant to Section 3.2(a) with respect to such share of Preferred Stock upon a Liquidating Event by voluntarily converting such share into Common Stock immediately prior to such Liquidating Event at the then-applicable Conversion Price

 

-3-


(as defined below) than such holder would be entitled to receive with respect to such share of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 3.2, then such holder shall not receive any Liquidation Amount with respect to such share under such Section 3.2(a), but shall be treated, for the purposes of determining such holder’s rights with respect to such share under Section 3.2(a) only, as though such holder had converted such share of Preferred Stock into Common Stock, effective immediately prior to the applicable Liquidating Event, at the then-applicable Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock.

(d) A “Liquidating Event” shall mean (1) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, (2) a merger or consolidation in which either (I) the Corporation is a constituent party or (II) a subsidiary of the Corporation is a constituent party and the Corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, except any such merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of (i) the surviving or resulting corporation or (ii) if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation, or (3) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation; provided, however, that such a transaction shall not be regarded as a Liquidating Event and, to the extent applicable, all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be treated under the provisions of Section 3.3(d)(vii) in lieu of this Section 3.2 in connection with such sale, merger or consolidation in the event that the holders of more than seventy percent (70%) in voting power (as determined pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof) of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock so elect, by written notice to the Corporation no later than fifteen (15) days before the effective date of such event.

(e) The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Liquidating Event referred to in Section 3.2(d)(2)(I) unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction (the “Merger Agreement”) provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with this Section 3.2.

(f) In the event of a Liquidating Event referred to in Subsection 3.2(d)(2)(II) or 3.2(d)(3), if the Corporation does not effect a dissolution of the Corporation under the Delaware General Corporation Law within 90 days after such Liquidating Event, unless the holders of more than seventy percent (70%) in voting power (as determined pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof) of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock request otherwise in a written instrument delivered to the Corporation prior to the Liquidation Redemption Date (as defined below), the Corporation shall use the consideration received by the Corporation for such Liquidating Event (net of any retained

 

-4-


liabilities associated with the assets sold or technology licensed, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Withheld Proceeds”)), together with any other assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, all to the extent permitted by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders (the “Available Proceeds”), on the 150th day after such Liquidating Event (the “Liquidation Redemption Date”), to redeem all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the amounts per share that each holder would be entitled to receive under this Section 3.2 upon a Liquidating Event in which the Available Proceeds were the amount available to the stockholders of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any Withheld Proceeds that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors are no longer required to be withheld for purposes of retained liabilities, or pursuant to Delaware law, shall at the time of such determination, be considered Available Proceeds and shall be promptly thereafter (but in no event more than 10 days) distributed in accordance with Sections 3.2(a), (b) and (c), as applicable, and (ii) in the event of a redemption pursuant to the preceding sentence, if the Available Proceeds are not sufficient to redeem all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s shares of Preferred Stock to the fullest extent of such Available Proceeds, based on the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares to be redeemed if the Available Proceeds were sufficient to redeem all such shares, and shall redeem the remaining shares to have been redeemed as soon as practicable after it may lawfully do so under Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders. Prior to the distribution or redemption provided for in this Section 3.2(f), the Corporation shall not expend or dissipate the consideration received for such Liquidating Event, except to discharge expenses incurred in connection with such Liquidating Event.

(g) In connection with a redemption pursuant to Section 3.2(f), the Corporation shall send a written notice (a “Redemption Notice”) to each holder of Preferred Stock no later than the 90th day after the Liquidating Event advising such holders of their redemption rights pursuant to Section 3.2(f). Each Redemption Notice shall state:

(i) the number of shares of Preferred Stock held by the holder that the Corporation is obligated to redeem pursuant to Section 3.2(f);

(ii) the Liquidation Redemption Date;

(iii) the Liquidation Amount payable for each series of Preferred Stock; and

(iv) the manner and place designated for the holder to surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates representing shares of Preferred Stock if such shares are to be redeemed.

(h) On or before the Liquidation Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Liquidation Redemption Date, unless such holder has exercised his, her or its right to convert such shares as provided in Section 3.3, shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or, if such 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,

 

-5-


in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Liquidation Amount 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 Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares of Preferred Stock shall promptly be issued to such holder.

(i) If the Redemption Notice has been duly given, and if on the applicable Liquidation Redemption Date the Liquidation Amount is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor in a timely manner, then notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the shares of Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Liquidation Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the Liquidation Amount payable for such shares, without interest, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates therefor.

(j) The amount deemed paid or distributed to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation upon any such Liquidating Event 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. If the amount deemed paid or distributed under this Section 3.2(j) is made in property other than in cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property, determined as follows:

(i) For securities not subject to investment letters or other similar restrictions on free marketability,

(1) if traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or market over the 30-day period ending three days prior to the closing of such transaction;

(2) if actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the 30-day period ending three days prior to the closing of such transaction; or

(3) if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

(ii) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letters or other similar restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder’s status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall take into account an appropriate discount (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) from the market value as determined pursuant to clause (i) above so as to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof.

(k) In the event of a Liquidating Event pursuant to Section 3.2(d)(2)(I), 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

 

-6-


not subject to any contingencies (the “Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with this Section 3.2 as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Liquidating 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 this Section 3.2 after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction.

-8-


The person(s) entitled to receive Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Preferred Stock hereunder shall not be deemed to have converted the Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such offering or the receipt by the Corporation of such consent. Each person who holds of record Preferred Stock immediately prior to an automatic conversion shall be entitled to all declared but unpaid dividends up to the time of the automatic conversion. Such dividends shall be paid to all such holders within thirty (30) days of the automatic conversion.

(c) Mechanics of Conversion.

(i) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of 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 then effective applicable Conversion Price. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into full shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein his name or the name or names of his nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued, together with the applicable federal taxpayer identification number (or foreign equivalent). The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, or to his nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which he shall be entitled, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share. Subject to Section 3.3(b) above, 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, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

(ii) If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offering of securities pursuant to the Securities Act, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering shares of Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.

(d) Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues:

(i) Special Definitions. For purposes of Section 3.3(d), the following definitions shall apply:

(1) “Option” shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire either Common Stock or Convertible Securities.

In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible 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 (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) of Common Stock 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, provided that Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued if (i) such shares of Common Stock are excluded from the definition of Additional Shares of Common Stock set forth in Section 3.3(d)(i)(4) or (ii) the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 3.3(d)(v)) of such Additional Shares of Common Stock is not less than the Conversion Price of the applicable series of Preferred Stock in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, or such record date, as the case may be; and provided, however, that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued:

(A) no further adjustment in the Conversion Price of the applicable series of Preferred Stock shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

 

-12-


(B) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the consideration payable to the Corporation, or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Conversion Price of the applicable series of Preferred Stock computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities (provided, however, that no such adjustment of the Conversion Price shall affect Common Stock previously issued upon conversion of the applicable series of Preferred Stock);

(C) upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised, the Conversion Price of the applicable series of Preferred Stock computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) and any subsequent adjustments based thereon shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if:

(i) in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Common Stock, the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation upon such conversion or exchange, and

(ii) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such Options, and the consideration received by the Corporation for the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Corporation (determined pursuant to Section 3.3(d)(v)) upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;

(D) no readjustment pursuant to clause (B) or (C) above shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Conversion Price of such series of Preferred Stock on the original adjustment date, or (ii) the Conversion Price of such series of Preferred Stock that would have resulted from any other issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date;

(E) in the case of any Options which expire by their terms not more than thirty (30) days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustment of the Conversion Price of the applicable series of Preferred Stock shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such

 

-13-


Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the same manner provided in clause (C) above; and

(F) if such record date shall have been fixed and such Options or Convertible Securities are not issued on the date fixed therefor, the adjustment previously made in the Conversion Price of the applicable series of Preferred Stock which became effective on such record date shall be canceled as of the close of business on such record date, and thereafter the Conversion Price of the applicable series of Preferred Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.3(d)(iii) as of the actual date of their issuance.

(2) Stock Dividends, Stock Distributions and Subdivisions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, or effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock), then and in any such event, Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued, but the Conversion Prices of the Preferred Stock shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 3.3(d)(vi).

(iv) Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

(1) In the event the Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3.3(d)(iii)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Seed Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the Seed Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue in order to increase the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Seed Preferred Stock is convertible, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by dividing (A) (i) the Seed Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any outstanding Options, Convertible Securities and shares of Preferred Stock), plus (ii) the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued, by (B) (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any outstanding Options, Convertible Securities and shares of Preferred Stock), plus (ii) the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued, provided that the Seed Conversion Price shall not be so reduced at such time if the amount of such reduction would be an amount less than $0.01, but any such amount shall be carried forward and any reduction with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent reduction which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or more.

(2) In the event the Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3.3(d)(iii)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series A Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event,

 

-14-


the Series A Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue in order to increase the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by dividing (A) (i) the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any outstanding Options, Convertible Securities and shares of Preferred Stock), plus (ii) the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued, by (B) (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any outstanding Options, Convertible Securities and shares of Preferred Stock), plus (ii) the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued, provided that the Series A Conversion Price shall not be so reduced at such time if the amount of such reduction would be an amount less than $0.01, but any such amount shall be carried forward and any reduction with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent reduction which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or more.

(3) In the event the Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3.3(d)(iii)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series B Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the Series B Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue in order to increase the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by dividing (A) (i) the Series B Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any outstanding Options, Convertible Securities and shares of Preferred Stock), plus (ii) the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued, by (B) (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any outstanding Options, Convertible Securities and shares of Preferred Stock), plus (ii) the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued, provided that the Series B Conversion Price shall not be so reduced at such time if the amount of such reduction would be an amount less than $0.01, but any such amount shall be carried forward and any reduction with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent reduction which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or more.

(4) In the event the Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3.3(d)(iii)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series C Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the Series C Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue in order to increase the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series C Preferred Stock is convertible, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by dividing (A) (i) the Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any outstanding Options, Convertible Securities and shares of Preferred Stock), plus (ii) the aggregate

 

-15-


consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued, by (B) (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any outstanding Options, Convertible Securities and shares of Preferred Stock), plus (ii) the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued, provided that the Series C Conversion Price shall not be so reduced at such time if the amount of such reduction would be an amount less than $0.01, but any such amount shall be carried forward and any reduction with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent reduction which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or more.

(v) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 3.3(d), the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

(1) Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:

(A) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;

(B) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and

(C) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(2) Options and Convertible Securities. The aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 3.3(d)(iii)(1), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by computing the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration until such subsequent adjustment occurs) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. The total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued shall be determined by calculating the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number until such subsequent adjustment occurs) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(vi) Adjustment for Dividends, Distributions, Subdivisions Combinations or Consolidation of Common Stock.

(1) Stock Dividends, Distributions or Subdivisions. In the event the Corporation at any time, or from time to time, shall declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock, or effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock), the Conversion Price for each series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such stock dividend, stock distribution or subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such stock dividend, stock distribution or subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event that this Corporation shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, then the Corporation shall be deemed to have made a dividend payable in Common Stock in an amount of shares equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire Common Stock.

(2) Combinations or Consolidations. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price for each series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such combination or consolidation shall concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.

(vii) Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.3(d)(vii) and Section 3.2, in case of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation or the conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another corporation in which the holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive shares of stock, other securities or property, each share of Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation deliverable upon conversion of such share of Preferred Stock would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger or conveyance. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined by the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of these provisions set forth with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holders of Preferred Stock, to the end that these provisions (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Prices) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. In the event that such merger or consolidation of the Corporation or the sale of all or substantially all its assets and properties shall also be subject to the provisions of Section 3.2 above, the holders of more than seventy percent (70%) in voting power (as determined pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof) of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock may elect to obtain the treatment of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock under this Section 3.3(d)(vii) in lieu of that described in Section 3.2, notice of which election shall be submitted in writing to the Corporation at its principal offices no later than fifteen (15) days before the effective date of such event.

(e) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,

 

-17-


consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation without the written consent of the holders of more than seventy percent (70%) in voting power (as determined pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof) of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3.3 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of Preferred Stock against impairment.

(f) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of any Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 3.3, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with these terms and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the Preferred Stock is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, provided that the failure to promptly provide such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such adjustment or readjustment, or any conversion of Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall, upon the written 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 Seed Conversion Price, the Series A Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price and the Series C Conversion Price, 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 conversion of Seed Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be.

(g) Notices of Record Date. In the event of (i) any taking by Corporation of a record date 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 which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other distribution, or (ii) any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Corporation, any merger or consolidation of the Corporation, and any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to any other corporation, or any other entity or person, or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Preferred Stock at least 15 days prior to the record date specified therein, a notice specifying (A) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (B) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and (C) the time, if any, that is to be fixed, as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

(h) Common Stock Reserved. The Corporation shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect conversion of the Preferred Stock.

 

-18-


3.4 Voting Rights. On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), (a) each holder of outstanding shares of Seed Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Seed Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter and (b) each holder of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal 1.25 multiplied by the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. Except as otherwise required by law or by the other provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Common Stock, Seed Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall vote together, as though a single class.

3.5 Dividend Right.

(a) The Corporation shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation (other than dividends on shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock) unless (in addition to the obtaining of any consents required elsewhere in the Certificate of Incorporation) the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock in an amount at least equal to (i) in the case of a dividend on Common Stock or any class or series that is convertible into Common Stock, that dividend per share of Series C Preferred Stock as would equal the product of (A) the dividend payable on each share of such class or series determined, if applicable, as if all shares of such class or series had been converted into Common Stock and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Series C Preferred Stock, in each case calculated on the record date for determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend or (ii) in the case of a dividend on any class or series that is not convertible into Common Stock, at a rate per share of Series C Preferred Stock determined by (A) dividing the amount of the dividend payable on each share of such class or series of capital stock by the original issuance price of such class or series of capital stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to such class or series) and (B) multiplying such fraction by an amount equal to the Series C Original Issue Price; provided that, if the Corporation declares, pays or sets aside, on the same date, a dividend on shares of more than one class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, the dividend payable to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 3.5(a) shall be calculated based upon the dividend on the class or series of capital stock that would result in the highest Series C Preferred Stock dividend.

(b) The Corporation shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation (other than (i) dividends on shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and (ii) dividends on shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock) unless (in addition to the obtaining of any consents required elsewhere in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Seed Preferred Stock then outstanding shall first receive, or

 

-19-


simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Seed Preferred Stock, as applicable, in an amount at least equal to (i) in the case of a dividend on Common Stock or any class or series that is convertible into Common Stock, that dividend per share of Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Seed Preferred Stock, as applicable, as would equal the product of (A) the dividend payable on each share of such class or series determined, if applicable, as if all shares of such class or series had been converted into Common Stock and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Seed Preferred Stock, as applicable, in each case calculated on the record date for determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend or (ii) in the case of a dividend on any class or series that is not convertible into Common Stock, at a rate per share of Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Seed Preferred Stock, as applicable, determined by (A) dividing the amount of the dividend payable on each share of such class or series of capital stock by the original issuance price of such class or series of capital stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to such class or series) and (B) multiplying such fraction by an amount equal to the Series B Original Issue Price, in the case of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series A Original Issue Price, in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the Seed Original Issue Price, in the case of the Seed Preferred Stock; provided that, if the Corporation declares, pays or sets aside, on the same date, a dividend on shares of more than one class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, the dividend payable to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Seed Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 3.5(b) shall be calculated based upon the dividend on the class or series of capital stock that would result in the highest Series B Preferred Stock dividend in the case of the Series B Preferred Stock, the highest Series A Preferred Stock dividend in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the highest Seed Preferred Stock dividend in the case of the Seed Preferred Stock.

(c) Any declared and unpaid dividend shall be payable on liquidation and conversion in accordance with Sections 3.2 and 3.3.

(d) In the event the Corporation shall declare a distribution on the Common Stock payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights to purchase any such securities or evidences of indebtedness, then, in each such case the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though the holders of the Preferred Stock were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into which their respective shares of Preferred Stock were convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to receive such distribution.

3.6 Preferred Stock Protection Provisions. In addition to Section 3.4 and any vote which the Preferred Stock may have under the General Corporation Law of Delaware, so long as at least fifteen percent (15%) of the shares of Preferred Stock originally issued (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) shall be outstanding, the Corporation shall not (whether by amendment, merger or otherwise), without first obtaining the affirmative vote or written consent of more than seventy percent (70%) in voting power (as determined pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof) of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock:

If the General Corporation Law or any other law of the State of Delaware is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article Seventh to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law as so amended.

-22-


suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan) (all such persons being referred to hereafter as an “Indemnitee”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of an Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom.

As a condition precedent to an Indemnitee’s right to be indemnified, the Indemnitee must notify the Corporation in writing as soon as practicable of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such Indemnitee for which indemnity will or could be sought. With respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the Corporation is so notified, the Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense and/or to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee.

In the event that the Corporation does not assume the defense of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the Corporation receives notice under this Article, the Corporation shall pay in advance of the final disposition of such matter any expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, proceeding or investigation or any appeal therefrom; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of such matter shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article, which undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the Indemnitee to make such repayment; and further provided that no such advancement of expenses shall be made under this Article if it is determined that (i) the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, or (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

The Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee pursuant to this Article in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee unless the initiation thereof was approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. In addition, the Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee to the extent such Indemnitee is reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, and in the event the Corporation makes any indemnification payments to an Indemnitee and such Indemnitee is subsequently reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such indemnification payments to the Corporation to the extent of such insurance reimbursement.

All determinations hereunder as to the entitlement of an Indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be made in each instance (a) by a majority vote of the directors of the Corporation consisting of persons who are not at that time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question (“disinterested directors”), whether or not a quorum, (b) by a committee of disinterested directors designated by majority vote of disinterested directors, whether or not a quorum, (c) if there

 

-23-


are no disinterested directors, or if the disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel (who may, to the extent permitted by law, be regular legal counsel to the Corporation) in a written opinion, or (d) by the stockholders of the Corporation.

The rights provided in this Article (i) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any law, agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and (ii) shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of the Indemnitees. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by its Board of Directors, grant indemnification rights to other employees or agents of the Corporation or other persons serving the Corporation and such rights may be equivalent to, or greater or less than, those set forth in this Article.

NINTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute and this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

TENTH: The Corporation renounces, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any interest or expectancy of the Corporation in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any Excluded Opportunity. An “Excluded Opportunity” is any matter, transaction or interest that is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or which otherwise comes into the possession of (i) any director of the Corporation who is not an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or (ii) any holder of Preferred Stock or any partner, member, director, stockholder, employee or agent of any such holder, other than someone who is an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, “Covered Persons”), unless such matter, transaction or interest is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or otherwise comes into the possession of, a Covered Person expressly and solely in such Covered Person’s capacity as a director of the Corporation.

3. That the foregoing amendment and restatement was approved by the holders of the requisite number of shares of the Corporation in accordance with Section 228 of the General Corporation Law.

4. That this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which restates and integrates and further amends the provisions of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, has been duly adopted in accordance with Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation law.

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT

OF

AMENDED AND RESTATED

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF

VISTERRA, INC.

Pursuant to Section 242 of the

General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware

Visterra, Inc. (hereinafter called the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, does hereby certify as follows:

A resolution was duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation pursuant to Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware setting forth an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended (“Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), and declaring said amendment to be advisable. The stockholders of the Corporation duly approved said proposed amendment by written consent in accordance with Sections 228 and 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The resolutions setting forth the amendment are as follows:

 

RESOLVED:   That Article FOURTH, Section 1 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation be and hereby is amended such that the following two paragraphs are inserted prior to the existing paragraph:
  “SECTION 1 – CAPITAL STOCK. That, effective on the filing of this Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”), a one-for-7.8 reverse stock split of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), shall become effective, pursuant to which each seven and eight-tenths (7.8) shares of Common Stock outstanding and held of record by each stockholder of the Corporation (including treasury shares) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be reclassified and combined into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock automatically and without any action by the holder thereof upon the Effective Time and shall represent one share of Common Stock from and after the Effective Time (such reclassification and combination of shares, the “Reverse Stock Split”). The par value of the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split shall remain at $0.0001 per share. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and, in lieu thereof, upon surrender after the Effective Time of a certificate which formerly represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, any person who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, following the Effective Time, shall be entitled to


  receive a cash payment equal to the fraction of a share of Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the fair value per share of the Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
 

Each stock certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent that number of whole shares of Common Stock after the Effective Time into which the shares formerly represented by such certificate have been reclassified (as well as the right to receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock after the Effective Time); provided, however, that each person of record holding a certificate that represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall receive, upon surrender of such certificate, a new certificate evidencing and representing the number of whole shares of Common Stock after the Effective Time into which the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified.
