LCLP Series C Preferred Shares Designation

 

DESIGNATION OF SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK

 

OF LIFE CLIPS INC.

 

3,500,000 shares of the authorized and unissued Preferred Stock of the Life Clips Inc. (the “Corporation”) are hereby designated “Series C Preferred Stock” with the following rights, preferences, powers, privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations.

 

1. Dividends.

 

1.1 Corporate Dividends. 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 unless (in addition to the obtaining of any consents required elsewhere in the Articles 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 (as defined below); 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 1 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. The “Series C Original Issue Price” shall mean $10.00 per share, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock.

 

23

 

 

2. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset Sales.

 

2.1 Liquidation Payment Amount for Holders of Series C Preferred Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock or Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, by pari passu with holders of Series A Preferred Stock, an amount per share equal to the Series C Original Issue Price, plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon (the amount payable pursuant to this sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “Series C Liquidation Amount”). If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Subsection 2.1, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

 

2.2 Payments to Holders of Common Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, after the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder.

 

2.3 Deemed Liquidation Events.

 

2.3.1 Definition. Each of the following events shall be considered a “Deemed Liquidation Event” unless the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock elect otherwise by written notice sent to the Corporation at least 3 days prior to the effective date of any such event:

 

(a) a merger, consolidation or share exchange in which:

 

(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 (1) the surviving or resulting corporation or (2) 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

 

(b) 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.

 

24

 

 

2.3.2 Effecting a Deemed Liquidation Event.

 

(a) The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event referred to in Subsection 2.3.1(a)(i) unless the agreement or plan of merger, consolidation or share exchange for such transaction (the “Merger Agreement”) provides that the consideration payable to the shareholders of the Corporation shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 2.1 and 2.2.

 

(b) In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event referred to in Subsection 2.3.1(a)(ii) or 2.3.1(b), if the Corporation does not effect a dissolution of the Corporation under the Business Corporation Act within 90 days after such Deemed Liquidation Event, then (i) the Corporation shall send a written notice to each holder of Series C Preferred Stock no later than the 90th day after the Deemed Liquidation Event advising such holders of their right (and the requirements to be met to secure such right) pursuant to the terms of the following clause (ii) to require the redemption of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and (ii) if the holders of more than 50% of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock so request in a written instrument delivered to the Corporation not later than 120 days after such Deemed Liquidation Event, the Corporation shall use the consideration received by the Corporation for such Deemed Liquidation Event (net of any retained liabilities associated with the assets sold or technology licensed, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation), together with any other assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders, all to the extent permitted by Wyoming law governing distributions to shareholders (the “Available Proceeds”), on the 150th day after such Deemed Liquidation Event (the “Redemption Date”), to redeem all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the Series C Liquidation Amount (the “Redemption Price”). The Redemption Price shall be paid in the same manner as the consideration received in the Deemed Liquidation Event and in the proportion in which consideration was received, unless agreed otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a redemption pursuant to the preceding sentence, if the Available Proceeds are not sufficient to redeem all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall ratably redeem each holder’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock to the fullest extent of such Available Proceeds, and shall redeem the remaining shares as soon as it may lawfully do so under Wyoming law governing distributions to shareholders. Prior to the distribution or redemption provided for in this Subsection 2.3.2(b), the Corporation shall not expend or dissipate the consideration received for such Deemed Liquidation Event, except to discharge expenses incurred in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event.

 

Each holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares to the Corporation at the principal office of the Corporation, or at such other place as may be designated by the Corporation, on or before the Redemption Date, and thereupon, on the Redemption Date, the Corporation shall pay the Redemption Price for such shares in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to an account designated by such holder or by certified or bank check payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof. Each stock certificate surrendered for redemption shall be canceled and retired. From and after the Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment of the Redemption Price, all dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock redeemed on the Redemption Date shall cease to accrue, all rights of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock of the Corporation (except the right to receive the Redemption Price on surrender of their certificate or certificates) shall cease with respect to such shares, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. Shares of Series C Preferred Stock that are subject to redemption but that have not been redeemed and the Redemption Price paid due to insufficient legally available funds shall continue to be entitled to the dividend, conversion and other rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such Series C Preferred Stock until such shares have been redeemed and the Redemption Price has been paid.

 

25

 

 

2.3.3 Notice of Liquidating Event. Written notice of any Deemed Liquidating Event stating, as applicable, a payment date or Redemption Date, the place where such payment or redemption shall be made, the amount of each payment in liquidation or the Redemption Price and calling on such holder to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, its certificate or certificates representing its shares of Series C Preferred Stock, shall be given not less than 10 days before the payment date or Redemption Date stated therein, to each holder of record of Series C Preferred Stock at such holder’s address as shown in the records of the Corporation; provided, that, to the extent permitted under Section B.4. hereof, any holder of Series C Preferred Stock may convert its shares of Series C Preferred Stock to Common Stock during such period at any time before the close of business on the last full day preceding the payment date or Redemption Date stated in such notice.

 

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

 

3. Voting.

 

3.1 General. With regard to any matter upon which holders of the Common Stock of the Corporation have the right to vote, Series C Holders shall have to vote that number of shares into which the Series C shares of such holder may be converted into Common Stock as set forth in Section 4, below.

 

3.2 Election of Directors.

 

3.2.1 Directors of the Corporation. For so long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding, at each meeting of the shareholders held for the election of directors, or on the taking of a written consent of shareholders for such purpose, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect one member of the Board of Directors by plurality vote (each such director elected by the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, a “Series C Director”). In the case of any vacancy in the office of a Series C Director, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, by plurality vote, may elect a successor to hold office for the unexpired term of the Series A Director whose place shall be vacant. Any Series C Director may be removed during the aforesaid term of office, either with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of more than 50% of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred or for cause by a vote of more than 50% of the then outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation.

 

26

 

 

3.3 Series C Preferred Stock Protective Provisions. At any time when shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Articles of Incorporation) the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of more than 50% of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class, and any such act or transaction entered into without such consent or vote shall be null and void ab initio, and of no force or effect.

 

3.3.1 liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business and affairs of the Corporation, effect any merger or consolidation other than a Deemed Liquidation Event, or consent to any of the foregoing;

 

3.3.2 amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Corporation in a manner that adversely affects the powers, preferences or rights of the Series C Preferred Stock, including, but not limited to, any such amendment, alteration or repeal that changes the size of the board of directors;

 

3.3.3 create, or authorize the creation of, or issue or obligate itself to issue shares of, any additional class or series of capital stock unless the same ranks junior to the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the payment of dividends and rights of redemption, or increase the authorized number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock or increase the authorized number of shares of any additional class or series of capital stock unless the same ranks junior to the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the payment of dividends and rights of redemption; or

 

3.3.4 (i) reclassify, alter or amend any existing security of the Corporation that is pari passu with the Series C Preferred Stock in respect of the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the payment of dividends or rights of redemption, if such reclassification, alteration or amendment would render such other security senior to the Series C Preferred Stock in respect of any such right, preference or privilege, or (ii) reclassify, alter or amend any existing security of the Corporation that is junior to the Series C Preferred Stock in respect of the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the payment of dividends or rights of redemption, if such reclassification, alteration or amendment would render such other security senior to or pari passu with the Series C Preferred Stock in respect of any such right, preference or privilege.

 

27

 

 

4. Conversion.

 

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

 

4.1 Right to Convert.

 

4.1.1 Conversion Ratio. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, beginning 12 months from the date of issuance, and thereafter at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (whether whole or fractional) that have a Fair Market Value, in the aggregate, equal to the Series C Conversion Price. The “Series C Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $10.00. Such initial Series C Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series C Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below. “Fair Market Value” shall mean as of any date of determination, the 80% of average of the 5 lowest closing prices for a share of Common Stock on the principal exchange or market on which such shares are then trading for the 20 trading days immediately preceding such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall the Fair Market Value multiplied by the total number of shares issued and outstanding be less than $5,000,000 (the “Market Capitalization Threshold”). For example:

 

  Average of 5 lowest closing prices over 20 trading days = $.50
  Fair Market Value = $.40
  Series C Conversion Price = $10.00
  Number of Series C Shares to Convert = 25,000
  Total Number of Common Shares outstanding = 150,000,000
  Common Shares Outstanding x Fair Market Value = 150,000,000 x .40 = $60,000,000 (above the Market Capitalization Threshold)
  25,000 (C Shares) x 10 (Conversion Price) = 250,000/.40 (Fair Market Value) =

4.1.3 Limitation on Conversion.

 

a. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a holder’s right to exercise that holder’s Conversion Rights shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, following such exercise, the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), does not exceed 4.9% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

b. Notwithstanding Section 4.1.3(a), if the Corporation is a non-reporting issuer, the number of conversion shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon conversion of this Note (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, following such conversion (or other issuance), the total number of shares of common stock of the Corporation then beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of common stock of the Corporation would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act, does not exceed 9.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation (including for such purpose the shares of common stock issuable upon such conversion). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

4.2 Fractional Shares. Should the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock result in the need for the issuance of Fractional Shares of Common Stock then such Fractional Shares shall be rounded up so that only whole shares are issued.

 

4.3 Mechanics of Conversion.

 

4.3.1 Notice of Conversion. In order for a holder of Series C Preferred Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Series C Preferred Stock (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Series C Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that such holder elects to convert all or any number of the shares of the Series C Preferred Stock represented by such certificate or certificates and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent. Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) of such certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) and notice shall be the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares represented by such certificate shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, (i) issue and deliver to such holder of Series C Preferred Stock, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and a certificate for the number (if any) of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Stock, (ii) pay in cash such amount as provided in Subsection 4.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and (iii) pay all declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series C Preferred Stock converted.

4.3.2 Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times when the Series C Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series C Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Articles of Incorporation. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Series C Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Series C Conversion Price.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

4.4 Adjustments to Series C Preferred.

 

4.4.1 Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable on the conversion of Series C Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than as provided for in Subsection 4.4.3), then and in each such event the holder of each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable on such reorganization, reclassification or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series C Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately before such reorganization, reclassification, or change.

4.4.2 Sales, Reorganizations, Mergers or Consolidations. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another entity, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another person or the sale, transfer or other disposition of securities of the Corporation representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Corporation (other than a consolidation, merger or sale treated as a Deemed Liquidating Event pursuant to Section 2 above), each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property that a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation deliverable on conversion of Series C Preferred Stock would have been entitled on such consolidation, merger or sale; and in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions of Section B.4. with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in Section B.4. shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of Series C Preferred Stock.

 

4.4.3 Reverse Stock Splits, Redemptions and Repurchases. In case the Corporation shall at any time reduce the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock by reverse stock split, redemption, repurchase or otherwise without a corresponding combination of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately before such share reduction shall be proportionately increased.

 

4.4.4 Certificate of Adjustment. On the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Series C Conversion Price pursuant to this Section B.4., the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms thereof, and prepare and furnish to each holder of Series C Preferred Stock affected thereby a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts on which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, on the written notice at any time of any holder of Series C Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (a) such adjustment or readjustment, (b) the Series C Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (c) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received on the conversion of such holder’s shares.

 

5. Acquired Shares. Any shares of Series C Preferred Stock that are acquired by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any voting or other rights granted to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock following acquisition.

 

6. Preemptive Rights. Holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall not have preemptive rights to acquire shares of stock or securities convertible into shares of stock issued by the corporation.

 

7. Waiver. Any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of the Series C Preferred Stock set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all holders of Series C Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of more than 50% of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding.

 

8. Notices. Any notice required or permitted by the provisions of this Article Fourth to be given to a holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the post office address last shown on the records of the Corporation, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the Business Corporation Act, and shall be deemed sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.
