7.2 Procedures for Conversion; Effect of Conversion.

 

(a) Procedures for Holder Conversion. In order to effectuate a conversion of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7.1, a holder shall (a) submit a written election to the Corporation that such holder elects to convert the shares, the number of shares elected to be converted and (b) surrender, along with such written election, to the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing the shares being converted, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto) or, in the event the certificate or certificates are lost, stolen, or missing, accompanied by an affidavit of loss executed by the holder. The conversion of such shares hereunder shall be deemed effective as of the date of surrender of such Series B Preferred Stock certificate or certificates or delivery of such affidavit of loss. Upon the receipt by the Corporation of a written election and the surrender of such certificate(s) and accompanying materials, the Corporation shall as promptly as practicable (but in any event within five (5) business days thereafter) deliver to the relevant holder (a) a certificate in such holder’s name (or the name of such holder’s designee as stated in the written election) for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled upon conversion of the applicable shares of Series B Preferred Stock as calculated pursuant to Section 7.1 and, if applicable (b) a certificate in such holder’s (or the name of such holder’s designee as stated in the written election) for the number of Series B Preferred Stock (including any fractional share) represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the Corporation for conversion but otherwise not elected to be converted pursuant to the written election. All shares of capital stock issued hereunder by the Corporation shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, charges, and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof.

 

(b) Effect of Conversion. All Series B Preferred Stock converted as provided in this Section 7.1 shall no longer be deemed outstanding as of the effective time of the applicable conversion and all rights with respect to such Series B Preferred Stock shall immediately cease and terminate as of such time, other than the right of the holder to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and all rights that holders of such Common Stock shall be entitled.

 

 
6

 

 

(c) Beneficial Ownership. The Corporation shall not effect any conversions of Series B Preferred Stock and the holders shall not have the right to convert any portion of Series B Preferred Stock to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, immediately after giving effect to such conversion. Since the holder will not be obligated to report to the Corporation the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the holder or an affiliate thereof, the holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section 7.2(c) applies, the determination of the amount of Series B Preferred Stock that is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the holder. If the holder has properly effectuated a conversion of Series B Preferred stock in accordance with Section 7.2 that, without regard to any other shares that the holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance of Common Stock in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Corporation shall notify the holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum issuance of Common Stock permitted to be converted in accordance with this Section 7.2(c). The provisions of this Section may only be waived by the Corporation through the decision of the Board by majority voting, where none of the directors of the Corporation are required to abstain or not participate in voting, and only upon written request from the holder.

 

7.3 Reservation of Stock. The Corporation shall at all times when any shares of Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of capital stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7, taking into account any adjustment to such number of shares so issuable in accordance with Section 7.5 hereof. The Corporation shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Corporation upon each such issuance). The Corporation shall not close its books against the transfer of any of its capital stock in any manner which would prevent the timely conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.

 

7.4 No Charge or Payment. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be made without payment of additional consideration by, or other charge, cost, or tax to, the holder in respect thereof.

 

7.5 Adjustment to Conversion Price and Number of Conversion Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights granted under this Section 7, the Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares issuable on conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 7.5.

 

(a) Adjustment to Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. Except as provided in Error! Bookmark not defined.7.5(c) and except in the case of an event described in either Section 7.5(e) or Section 7.5(f), if the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, issue or sell, or in accordance with Error! Bookmark not defined.7.5(d) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock without consideration or for consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), then immediately upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) shall be reduced (and in no event increased) to said price. Whenever following the Date of Issuance, the Corporation shall issue or sell, or in accordance with Error! Bookmark not defined.7.5(d) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock, the Corporation shall prepare a certificate signed by an executive officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the number of shares issued or sold, or deemed issued or sold, the amount and the form of the consideration received by the Corporation, and the method of computation of such amount and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed to the holders of record of Series B Preferred Stock at the address specified for such holder in the books and records of the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation in writing by such holder).

(b) Adjustment to Number of Conversion Shares upon Adjustment to Conversion Price. Upon any and each adjustment of the Conversion Price as provided in Section 7.5(d)(i), the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock immediately prior to any such adjustment shall be increased to a number of Conversion Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the Liquidation Value of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted by (b) the reduced Conversion Price. For example, if the Corporation issues Common Stock after the Date of Issuance at $0.05 per share, and the holder of one share of Series B Preferred Stock wants to convert said share, the holder shall be entitled to 40 shares of Common Stock (whereas when the Conversion Price was $0.10, the holder would have received 20 shares of Common Stock).

 

(c) Exceptions To Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, there shall be no adjustment to the Conversion Price or the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to any Excluded Issuance.

 

(d) Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to Conversion Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under Section 7.5(a) hereof, the following shall be applicable:

 

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Options, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Options, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the exercise price of said Options.

 

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the conversion or exchange price of such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Conversion Price have been made pursuant hereto.

(iii) Change in Terms of Options or Convertible Securities. Upon any change in any of (A) the total amount received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the granting or sale of any Options or Convertible Securities, (B) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion, or exchange of any Convertible Securities, (C) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to above are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any Options or any Convertible Securities (in each case, other than in connection with an Excluded Issuance), then (whether or not the original issuance or sale of such Options or Convertible Securities resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 7) the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7 had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed consideration, conversion rate, or maximum number of shares, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued, or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment the Conversion Price then in effect is reduced, and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock immediately prior to any such adjustment or readjustment shall be correspondingly adjusted or readjusted.

 

(iv) Treatment of Expired or Terminated Options or Convertible Securities. Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or any unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) for which any adjustment (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) was made pursuant to this Section 7.5 (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of all or any portion of such Option or Convertible Security by the Corporation), the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof), to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.

 

(v) Calculation of Consideration Received. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities: (A) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Corporation therefor; (B) for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Corporation shall be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Corporation shall be the market price (as reflected on any securities exchange, quotation system, or association or similar pricing system covering such security) for such securities as of the end of business on the date of receipt of such securities; (C) for no specifically allocated consideration in connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of the Corporation, together comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in such transaction as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued in such transaction; or (D) to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued to such owners. The net amount of any cash consideration and the fair value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities shall be determined in good faith jointly by the Board and with the unanimous written consent of the holders of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock obtained in accordance with Section 9 herein).

(vi) Record Date. For purposes of any adjustment to the Conversion Price or the number of Conversion Shares in accordance with this Section 7, in case the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

 

(e) Adjustment upon Dividend, Subdivision, or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Corporation payable in shares of Common Stock or in Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization, or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution, or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under the first sentence of Section 7(e) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision, or combination becomes effective. If the Corporation at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split, or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall not be proportionately decreased. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, in no event shall the Base Exchange Ratio be adjusted to lower the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock from the initial Base Exchange Ratio set forth in Section 7.1 above.

 

(f) Adjustment to Conversion Price and Conversion Shares upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Corporation, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the Corporation (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets to another Person or (v) other similar transaction (other than any such transaction covered by hereunder, in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Conversion Shares then convertible for such share, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the Corporation or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which such share would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction if the share had been converted in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Conversion Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such conversion (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of such share, if any); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made with respect to such holder’s rights under this Certificate of Designation to insure that the provisions of this Section 7 hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to the Series B Preferred Stock in relation to any shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter acquirable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction in which the successor or purchasing Person is other than the Corporation, an immediate adjustment in the Conversion Price to the value per share for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, and a corresponding immediate adjustment to the number of Conversion Shares acquirable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock without regard to any limitations or restrictions on conversion, if the value so reflected is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction). The provisions of this Section 7(f) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, or similar transactions. The Corporation shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Corporation) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Certificate of Designation, the obligation to deliver to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock such shares of stock, securities, or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders shall be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7(f), each holder of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to give effect to the provisions of Section 7 hereunder, instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 7.5(f) with respect to such holder’s Series B Preferred Stock.

(g)       Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7(g) but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights, or other rights with equity features) occurs, then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price Stock so as to protect the rights of the holder of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 7; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 7(g) shall increase the Conversion Price or decrease the number of Conversion Shares issuable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 7.

 

(h) Certificate as to Adjustment.

 

(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Conversion Price, but in any event not later than ten (10) business days thereafter, the Corporation shall furnish to each holder of record of Series B Preferred Stock at the address specified for such holder in the books and records of the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation in writing by such holder) a certificate of an executive officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

 

(ii) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Corporation of a written request by any holder of Series B Preferred Stock, but in any event not later than ten (10) business days thereafter, the Corporation shall furnish to such holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of Conversion Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities, or assets then issuable to such holder upon conversion of the Shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder.

 

(i) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.

 

(j) Notices. In the event:

 

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

 

(ii) of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another Person, or sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets to another Person; or

 

(iii) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up of the Corporation;

 

then, and in each such case, the Corporation shall send or cause to be sent to each holder of record of Series B Preferred Stock at the address specified for such holder in the books and records of the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation in writing by such holder) at least ten (10) business days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for the event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting or consent, or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution, or other right or action to be taken at such meeting or by written consent, or (B) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Corporation shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Series B Preferred Stock and the Conversion Shares.

8. Reissuance of Series B Preferred Stock. Any shares of Series B Preferred Stock redeemed, converted, or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any Subsidiary shall be cancelled and retired as authorized and issued shares of capital stock of the Corporation and no such shares shall thereafter be reissued, sold, or transferred.

 

9. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by facsimile or e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next business day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (d) on the third day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Such communications must be sent (a) to the Corporation, at its principal executive offices and (b) to any stockholder, at such holder’s address at it appears in the stock records of the Corporation (or at such other address for a stockholder as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 9).

 

10. Amendment and Waiver. No provision of this Certificate of Designation may be amended, modified, or waived except by an instrument in writing executed by the Corporation and the holders of not less than all of the Series B Preferred Stock, and any such written amendment, modification, or waiver will be binding upon the Corporation and each holder of Series B Preferred Stock; provided, further, that no amendment, modification, or waiver of the terms or relative priorities of the Series B Preferred Stock may be accomplished by the merger, consolidation, or other transaction of the Corporation with another corporation or entity unless the Corporation has obtained the prior written consent of the holders in accordance with this Section 10.
