No dividends other than (x) those payable on Common Stock solely in additional shares of Common Stock or (y) those payable on capital stock of the Company solely in other securities of the Company shall be paid on any Series B Preferred, Series A Preferred or Common Stock unless and until a dividend is paid with respect to all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred in an amount equal to or greater that the aggregate amount of dividends which would be payable on each share of Series C Preferred if, immediately prior to such dividend payment on the Series B Preferred, Series A Preferred or Common Stock, it had been converted into Common Stock. The Board of Directors is under no obligation to declare dividends, no rights shall accrue to the holders of Series C Preferred if dividends are not declared, and any dividends declared shall be noncumulative.

(b) After payment of the prior dividend rights of the Series C Preferred pursuant to the above provisions of Section 1(a), the holders of the Series B Preferred shall be entitled to receive dividends payable out of any funds or assets at the time legally available therefore, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend on the Series A Preferred or Common Stock (other than (x) those payable on Common Stock solely in additional shares of Common Stock or (y) those payable on capital stock of the Company solely in other securities of the Company).

The Board of Directors is under no obligation to declare dividends, no rights shall accrue to the holders of Series B Preferred if dividends are not declared, and any dividends declared shall be noncumulative.

Subject to Section 5(b)(v) of this Article FOURTH, such dividends shall be payable only when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors. No dividends other than (x) those payable on Common Stock solely in additional shares of Common Stock or (y) those payable on capital stock of the Company solely in other securities of the Company shall be paid on any Common Stock unless and until a dividend is paid with respect to all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred in an amount equal to or greater that the aggregate amount of dividends which would be payable on each share of Series A Preferred if, immediately prior to such dividend payment on the Common Stock, it had been converted into Common Stock. The Board of Directors is under no obligation to declare dividends, no rights shall accrue to the holders of Series A Preferred if dividends are not declared, and any dividends declared shall be noncumulative.

(d) Subject to Section 5(b)(v) and Section 5(c)(v) of this Article FOURTH, after payment of the prior dividend rights of the Series C Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series A Preferred pursuant to the above provisions of Sections 1(a), (b) and (c), dividends may be paid to the holders of Common Stock out of any funds or assets at the time legally available therefore, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors.

(e) Distribution. “Distribution” means the transfer of cash, property or securities without consideration, whether by way of dividend or otherwise, or the purchase of shares of the Company (other than in connection with the repurchase of shares of Common Stock issued to or held by employees, consultants, officers or directors at a price not greater than the amount paid by such persons for such shares upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for the right of said repurchase or upon exercise of a right of first refusal approved by the Board of Directors) for cash or property.

(f) Repurchases. To the extent certain sections of the corporations code of any state set forth minimum requirements for the Company’s retained earnings and/or assets that would otherwise be applicable to Distributions made by the Company in connection with the repurchase of shares of Common Stock issued to or held by employees, consultants, advisors, officers, directors or other service providers of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries at a price not greater than the amount paid by such person for such shares upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for the right of said repurchase or upon exercise of a right of first refusal, where such agreements were authorized by the Board of Directors, such Distributions may be made without regard to any “preferential dividends arrears amount,” “preferential rights amount,” or similar concept.

2. Liquidation Rights.

(a) Liquidation Preference. In the event of any Liquidation (as defined below), either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series C Preferred shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company, the Liquidation Preference specified for each share of Series C Preferred then held by them, prior and in preference to any payment which shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of Series B Preferred, Series A Preferred or Common Stock. If upon the Liquidation, the assets to be distributed among the holders of the Series C Preferred are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Section 2(a), then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the holders of Series C Preferred shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Series C Preferred. “Liquidation Preference” shall mean (i) with respect to any shares of Series A Preferred, $0.75 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations, reorganizations and the like) (the “Series A Original Issuance Price”) plus declared and unpaid dividends on such share, (ii) with respect to any shares of Series B Preferred, $4.1841 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations, reorganizations and the like) (the “Series B Original Issuance Price”) plus declared and unpaid dividends on such share and (iii) with respect to any shares of Series C Preferred, $6.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations, reorganizations and the like) (the “Series C Original Issuance Price”) plus declared and unpaid dividends on such share.

(b) Upon completion of the distribution required by subsection (a) of this Section 2, the holders of the Series B Preferred shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company, the Liquidation Preference specified for each share of Series B Preferred then held by them, prior and in preference to any payment which shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of Series A Preferred or Common Stock. If upon the Liquidation, the assets to be distributed among the holders of the Series B Preferred are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Section 2(b), then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the holders of Series B Preferred shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Series B Preferred.

(c) Upon completion of the distributions required by subsection (a) and (b) of this Section 2, the holders of the Series A Preferred shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company, the Liquidation Preference specified for each share of Series A Preferred then held by them, prior and in preference to any payment which shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of Common Stock. If upon the Liquidation, the assets to be distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Section 2(c), then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the holders of Series A Preferred shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Series A Preferred.

(d) Remaining Assets. Upon completion of the distributions required by subsection (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 2, no further payments shall be made to the holders of Preferred Stock by reason thereof and any remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

A-4


(e) Liquidation. A “Liquidation” shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include, (i) the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; (ii) the acquisition of the Company by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation) provided that the applicable transaction shall not be deemed a liquidation if the holders of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction or series of related transactions continue to retain, in substantially the same proportion of ownership as prior to the transaction (either by such voting securities remaining outstanding or by such voting securities being converted into securities of the surviving entity), a majority of the total voting power represented by the voting securities and a majority of the equity interests of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such transaction or series of related transactions; or (iii) a sale lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in any transaction or series of related transactions. In the event of a deemed “Liquidation” pursuant to clause (iii) in this Section 2(e) above, if the Company does not effect a dissolution of the Company under the Delaware General Corporation Law within forty-five (45) days after such deemed Liquidation, then (A) the Company shall deliver a written notice to each holder of Preferred Stock no later than the forty-fifth (45th) day after the deemed Liquidation advising such holders of their right (and the requirements to be met to secure such right) pursuant to the terms of the following clause (B) to require the redemption of such shares of Preferred Stock, and (B) if the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock so request in a written instrument delivered to the Company not later than sixty (60) days after such deemed Liquidation, the Company shall use the consideration received by the Company for such deemed Liquidation (net of any liabilities associated with the assets sold, leased or exclusively licensed as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors), to the extent legally available therefor (the “Net Proceeds”), to redeem, on the seventy-fifth (75th) day after such deemed Liquidation (the “Liquidation Redemption Date”), all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the applicable Liquidation Preference. In the event of a redemption pursuant to the preceding sentence, if the Net Proceeds are not sufficient to redeem all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, the Company shall redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s shares of Preferred Stock in accordance with the preferences and priorities set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 2, and shall redeem the remaining shares as soon as it may lawfully do so under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Prior to the distribution or redemption provided for in this Section 2(e), the Company shall not expend or dissipate the consideration received for such deemed Liquidation, except to discharge expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business.

(f) Shares not Treated as Both Preferred Stock and Common Stock in any Distribution. Shares of Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to be converted into shares of Common Stock in order to participate in any distribution, or series of distributions, as shares of Common Stock, without first foregoing participation in the distribution, or series of distributions, as shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that notwithstanding Sections 2(a), 2(b), 2(c), 2(d) and 2(e) above, each holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, for each share of each series of Preferred Stock then held, out of the proceeds available for distribution, the greater of (i) the amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would be entitled to receive with respect to such shares in a Liquidation pursuant to Sections 2(a), 2(b), 2(c) or 2(e), (without giving effect to this Section 2(f) or (ii) the amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would be entitled to receive in a

 

A-5


Liquidation with respect to such shares if such shares had been converted to Common Stock immediately prior to such Liquidation, giving effect to this Section 2(f) with respect to all series of Preferred Stock simultaneously. If the holder is treated as if such holder had converted such shares of a series of Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph, then such holder shall not be entitled to receive any Distribution pursuant to Sections 2(a), 2(b), 2(c) or 2(e), as applicable, that would otherwise be made to holders of such series of Preferred Stock.

(g) Allocation of Escrow and Contingent Consideration. In the event of a Liquidation pursuant to Section 2(e)(ii), if any portion of the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Company is payable only upon satisfaction of contingencies (the “Additional Consideration”), the definitive agreement shall provide that (a) the portion of such consideration that is not Additional Consideration (such portion, the “Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Sections 2(a), 2(b), 2(c), 2(d) and 2(f) as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Liquidation; and (b) any Additional Consideration which becomes payable to the stockholders of the Corporation upon satisfaction of such contingencies shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections Sections 2(a), 2(b), 2(c), 2(d) and 2(f) after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction. For the purposes of this Section 2(g), consideration placed into escrow or retained as holdback to be available for satisfaction of indemnification or similar obligations in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event shall be deemed to be Additional Consideration.

3. Conversion. The Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows:

(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred shall be convertible into that number of fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock that is equal to $0.75, $4.1841 and $6.00, respectively (in each case, as adjusted for stock splits, combinations, reorganizations and the like) divided by the applicable Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined) for such series of Preferred Stock. The “Conversion Price” per share of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred shall initially be $0.75, $4.1841 and $6.00, respectively, and shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Price immediately upon (1) the affirmative vote of (i) the holders of at least fifty-five percent (55%) of the then outstanding Series B Preferred, voting as a single, separate class and (ii) the holders of at least fifty-five percent (55%) of the then outstanding Series C Preferred, including at least two (2) Specified Series C Stockholders, voting as a single, separate class or (2) the consummation of a firmly underwritten public offering pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on Form S-1 (as defined in the Securities Act) or any successor form as declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, provided, however, that (i) the underwriters are of national reputation and (ii) the aggregate gross proceeds to the Company are not less than $45,000,000 (a “Qualified IPO”).

 

A-6


(c) Mechanics of Conversion. 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 Company shall pay the fair market value cash equivalent of such fractional share as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. For such purpose, all shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder shall be aggregated, and any resulting fractional share of Common Stock shall be paid in cash. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into full shares of Common Stock, and to receive certificates therefor, he shall surrender the Preferred Stock certificate or certificates, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that such holder elects to convert such shares; provided, however, that in the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to subsection 3(b) above, the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent; provided further, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such automatic conversion unless either the certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are delivered to the Company or its transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company (but shall not be required to provide a bond) to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates.

The Company shall, as soon as practicable after delivery of the Preferred Stock certificates, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which he shall be entitled and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock, plus any declared or accumulated but unpaid dividends on the converted Preferred Stock. 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 such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date; provided, however, that if the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offer of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of the sale of such securities.

(d) Adjustments to Conversion Price.

(i) Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Common. After the date of the filing of this Fifth Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Filing Date”), if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split,

 

A-7


stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision for each series of Preferred Stock shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. After the Filing Date, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination for each series of Preferred Stock shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased.

(ii) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. Subject to the provisions of Section 2 of Article FOURTH, if the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Company in which the Common Stock (but not the Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by subsections 3(d)(i), 3(d)(iii), 3(d)(iv) or 3(d)(v))), the Conversion Price then in effect for each series of Preferred Stock shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger be proportionately adjusted such that the Preferred Stock shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Preferred Stock immediately before that change.

(iii) Adjustment for Common Stock Dividends and Distributions. If at any time or from time to time on or after the Filing Date, the Company 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 Stock, then and in each such event the applicable Conversion Price for each series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price by a fraction:

(A) 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

(B) 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;

provided, however, that 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 applicable Conversion Price for each series of Preferred Stock shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the applicable Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or Distributions; and provided further, however, that no such adjustment shall be made if the

 

A-8


holders of Preferred Stock simultaneously receive (i) 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 Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event or (ii) a dividend or other Distribution of shares of Preferred Stock which are convertible, as of the date of such event, into such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to the number of additional shares of Common Stock being issued with respect to each share of Common Stock in such dividend or Distribution.

(iv) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. If at any time or from time to time on or after the Filing Date, the Company shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of capital stock of the Company entitled to receive, a dividend or other Distribution payable in securities of the Company (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 3(d)(iii) do not apply to such dividend or Distribution, then and in each such event the holders of Preferred Stock shall receive, simultaneously with the Distribution to the holders of such capital 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 Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

(v) Adjustments for Dilutive Issuances.

(A) After the Filing Date, if the Company shall issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (as actually issued or, pursuant to paragraph (C) below, deemed to be issued) for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price for any series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale, then immediately upon such issue or sale the Conversion Price for each such series of Preferred Stock shall be reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such prior Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of “Calculated Securities” (defined below) outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of shares of Common Stock so issued or sold would purchase at such prior Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Calculated Securities outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale plus the number of shares of Common Stock so issued or sold. “Calculated Securities” means (i) all shares of Common Stock actually outstanding; (ii) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the then outstanding Preferred Stock (without giving effect to any adjustments to the conversion price of any series of Preferred Stock as a result of such issuance); and (iii) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise and/or conversion of outstanding options, warrants or other rights for the purchase of shares of stock.

(B) For the purposes of paragraph (A) above, none of the following issuances shall be considered the issuance or sale of Common Stock:

(1) The issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any then-outstanding Convertible Securities, pursuant to the terms thereof. Convertible Securities shall mean any bonds, debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness, and any warrants, shares or any other securities convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for Common Stock.

 

A-9


(2) The issuance of any Common Stock or Convertible Securities as a dividend or Distribution on the Company’s stock, including any Shares of Common Stock issued or issuable by reason of a stock split, split-up or other distribution on shares of Common Stock that is covered by Section 3(d)(i) or Section 3(d)(ii).

(3) The issuance of up to 10,330,036 shares of Common Stock (or options to purchase shares of Common Stock) to employees, directors or consultants of the Company under a stock plan approved by the Board of Directors (not including the reissuance of shares repurchased by the Company from employees or consultants of the Company).

(4) The issuance of shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities to lenders, financial institutions, equipment lessors, or real estate lessors to the Company in connection with a bona fide borrowing or leasing transaction approved by the Board of Directors.

(5) The issuance of Common Stock or Convertible Securities as acquisition consideration pursuant to (i) the acquisition of another business by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or shares, or other reorganization whereby the Company or its shareholders own not less than a majority of the voting power of the surviving or successor business or (ii) the acquisition of technology or other intellectual property by outright purchase.

(6) The issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issued in accordance with this paragraph (B).

(C) For the purposes of paragraph (A) above, the following subparagraphs 1 to 3, inclusive, shall also be applicable:

(1) In case at any time the Company shall grant any warrants, rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Convertible Securities or Common Stock (excluding Convertible Securities and Common Stock issued in accordance with Section 3(d)(v)(B) above) (collectively “Options”) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders entitled to received such Options, whether or not such Options are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock or Convertible Securities are issuable upon the exercise of such Options (determined by dividing (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of any such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (y) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in

(e) No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of this Fifth Restated Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, 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 Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provision of this Section 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 the Preferred Stock against impairment.

(i) Taxes. The Company 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 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 3.

The holders of shares of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters on which the Common Stock shall be entitled to vote. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the Company. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights resulting from the above formula (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted), shall be disregarded.

(c) Common Stock. Each holder of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share thereof held. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Company entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
