The amount of Regular Dividends payable in respect of each Preferred Share for any period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve thirty-day months. Regular Dividends shall begin to accrue from the Original Issue Date whether or not declared and whether or not the Corporation has assets legally available to make payment thereof, at a rate equal to the Dividend Rate and, if not declared and paid, shall be cumulative, regardless of whether or not in any Regular Dividend Period there are funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such Regular Dividend. In the event that the Board of Directors has authorized the payment of any Regular Dividend, the Corporation may, in its sole discretion and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, settle such Regular Dividend in cash out of funds legally available therefor, in Common Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 3.4, in-kind pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 3.5, or a combination of cash and in-kind settlement pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 3.6, and the Corporation shall set aside sufficient funds for the portion of any Regular Dividend to be paid in whole or in part in cash before the Board of Directors or any other authorized Person may declare, set apart funds for or pay any dividend on the Junior Securities; provided, however, that, to the extent any such payment in cash is prohibited by applicable law, such payment will be made in Common Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 3.4 or in-kind in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 3.5. Participating Dividends shall be payable as and when paid to the holders of Common Shares (each such date, a “Participating Dividend Payment Date” and, together with a Regular Dividend Payment Date, a “Dividend Payment Date”). Participating Dividends are payable on a cumulative basis once declared, regardless of whether or not there are then funds of the Corporation available for the payment of such Participating Dividend pursuant to law.

 

3.4 Dividends Paid in Common Shares. With respect to each Preferred Share, any Regular Dividend or portion thereof in respect of such Preferred Share that has accrued during any applicable Regular Dividend Period but is not paid (in whole or in part) in cash or by a PIK Dividend (pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof) on the applicable Regular Dividend Payment Date may be paid at the option of the Corporation in Common Shares, by issuing each Holder a number of Common Shares equal to (x) the total amount of the Regular Dividend due to such Holder, divided by (y) Closing Sales Price, rounded up to the nearest whole Common Share (“Dividend Shares”). Dividend Shares shall be issued to each Holder within five (5) Trading Days of the applicable Divided Payment Date.

3.5 Accrued or PIK Dividends. With respect to each Preferred Share, any Regular Dividend or portion thereof in respect of such Preferred Share that has accrued during any applicable Regular Dividend Period but is not paid (in whole or in part) in cash or Common Shares (pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof) on the applicable Regular Dividend Payment Date (the amount of any accrued and unpaid Regular Dividend with respect to any Preferred Share for any Regular Dividend Period, regardless of whether such Regular Dividend is paid in cash or kind, the “Accrued Dividend Amount” with respect to such Preferred Share for such Regular Dividend Period) shall, regardless of whether or not such Regular Dividend is authorized and declared by the Board of Directors, or whether the Corporation has assets legally available to make payment thereof, be added to the Stated Value of such Preferred Share immediately following the close of business on such Regular Dividend Payment Date. Any such addition of the Accrued Dividend Amount in respect of a Preferred Share to the Stated Value of such Preferred Share pursuant to this Section 3.5 is referred to herein as a “PIK Dividend.” The Accrued Dividend Amount in respect of any Regular Dividend Period that is not paid (in whole or in part) in cash or in Common Shares pursuant to Section 3.4, shall, without duplication of any prior PIK Dividends (if any) only be added to the Stated Value of such Preferred Share once. Regular Dividends with respect to each Preferred Share shall continue, from and after the date of each PIK Dividend, if any, to accrue in an amount per annum equal to the Dividend Rate of the Stated Value of such Preferred Share as of the relevant Record Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, the Corporation will not be permitted to make any PIK Dividend election to the extent such election would violate the listing standards of the Trading Market; provided, however, that nothing herein will affect the compounding of any Regular Dividend that the Corporation does not pay in cash (which compounding will apply even if the Corporation is otherwise prohibited from electing to make any PIK Dividend pursuant to this sentence).

 

3.6 Cash and PIK Dividends. In the event that the Board of Directors has authorized and declared the payment of a Regular Dividend and the settlement of such Regular Dividend payment in part by payment of cash to each Holder of Preferred Shares and in part pursuant to a PIK Dividend (any such Regular Dividend, a “Cash and PIK Dividend”), the Corporation shall, on the applicable Regular Dividend Payment Date and in respect of each Preferred Share, (i) pay to the Holder thereof an amount of cash equal to the Cash and PIK Dividend Cash Settlement Amount in respect of such Preferred Share, and (ii) add to the Stated Value of such Preferred Share an amount equal to (A) the Accrued Dividend Amount with respect to such Preferred Share for the Regular Dividend Period ending on, and including, such Regular Dividend Payment Date, minus (B) the Cash and PIK Dividend Cash Settlement Amount in respect of such Preferred Share. If the Board of Directors declares a Cash and PIK Dividend, and any portion of the cash payment of such Cash and PIK Dividend per Preferred Share is not paid pursuant to the terms of this Section 3, then such portion shall be added to the Stated Value of such Preferred Share in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.7.

 

3.7 In the event that the Board of Directors has authorized and declared the payment of a Participating Dividend, such Participating Dividend shall be paid in a manner consistent with the payments of dividends on the Common Shares. The Corporation will not declare any dividend or distribution on the Common Shares unless, concurrently therewith, the Corporation declares a corresponding Participating Dividend in accordance with Section 3.1, except for dividends paid on Common Shares solely in Common Shares, which shall not be deemed Participating Dividends.

 

3.8 Partial Dividend Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Corporation pays, in cash, less than the total amount of Dividends then accrued, but unpaid, with respect to the Preferred Shares, such cash payment shall be distributed pro rata among the Holders thereof based upon the Stated Value of all Preferred Shares held by each such Holder as of the Record Date for such payment. When Dividends are not paid in full upon the Preferred Shares, all dividends declared on Preferred Shares and any other class or series of stock which has parity rights with the Preferred Shares (“Parity Stock”) shall be paid pro rata so that the amount of dividends so declared on the Preferred Shares and each such other class or series of Parity Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio as accrued, but unpaid, Dividends (for the full amount of dividends that would be payable for the most recently completed Regular Dividend Period if dividends were declared in full on non-cumulative Parity Stock) on the Preferred Shares and such other class or series of Parity Stock bear to each other.

 

7
 

 

3.9 Within one Business Day of the Record Date for any Regular Dividend, the Corporation will send written notice to each Holder of shares of Preferred Shares stating (i) whether such Regular Dividend will be paid in cash, in Common Shares pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof, by increasing the Stated Value of each Preferred Share pursuant to Section 3.5, or pursuant to a Cash and PIK Dividend pursuant to Section 3.7, and (ii) if such Regular Dividend will be paid, at least in part, by increasing the Stated Value of a Preferred Share pursuant to Section 3.5 or pursuant to a Cash and PIK Dividend pursuant to Section 3.7, the Stated Value of each Preferred Share immediately before and immediately after the applicable increase. If the Corporation fails to send such written notice at or before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately following the Record Date for any Regular Dividend, then the Corporation will be deemed to have irrevocably elected to pay such Regular Dividend in Common Shares pursuant to Section 3.4.

 

3.10 Non-Cash Distributions. Whenever a Participating Dividend shall be payable in property other than cash, the value of such Participating Dividend shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

 

3.11 Other Securities. So long as any Preferred Shares shall remain outstanding, neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary thereof shall redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any Junior Securities. So long as any Preferred Shares shall remain outstanding, neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary thereof shall directly or indirectly pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution upon (other than a dividend or distribution described in Section 6 or dividends due and paid in the ordinary course on Preferred Shares of the Corporation at such times when the Corporation is in compliance with its payment and other obligations hereunder), nor shall any distribution be made in respect of, any Junior Securities as long as any dividends due on the Preferred Shares remain unpaid, nor shall any monies be set aside for or applied to the purchase or redemption (through a sinking fund or otherwise) of any Junior Securities or shares pari passu with the Preferred Shares.

 

3.12 Variable Rate Transactions. So long as any Preferred Shares shall remain outstanding, the Corporation shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Shares, Common Share Equivalents, Preferred Shares or Preferred Share Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction, except for an equity line of credit. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Corporation issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of Common Shares or Preferred Shares either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the Common Shares or Preferred Shares at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Corporation or the market for the Common Shares or Preferred Shares or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an “at-the-market offering”, whereby the Corporation may issue securities at a future determined price. Any Holder shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Corporation to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.

Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation or its agent appointed to administer conversion of the Preferred Shares with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of Preferred Shares to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Corporation or its agent appointed to administer conversion of the Preferred Shares (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. Upon delivery of the Notice of Conversion by a Holder, such Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Conversion Shares with respect to which the Preferred Shares have been converted, irrespective of the date such Conversion Shares are credited to the Holder’s Depository Trust Company account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Conversion Shares, as the case may be. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. Further, the calculations made by the Corporation or its agent appointed to administer conversion of the Preferred Shares concerning information required in a Notice of Conversion in the form attached hereto as Annex A that is not actually provided in a Notice of Conversion, shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. To effect conversions of Preferred Shares, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing the Preferred Shares to the Corporation unless all of the Preferred Shares represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such Preferred Shares promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. Preferred Shares converted into Common Shares or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.

 

b) Conversion Price. The conversion price for the Preferred Shares shall be equal to the lesser of (x) $0.40, or (y) 90% of the average of the three lowest VWAPs during the ten Trading Days preceding and ending on and including the Conversion Date subject to adjustment herein (the “Set Price” or the “Conversion Price”). Further, in no event shall the Conversion Price be less than $0.035, subject to adjustment herein or the mutual agreement of the Holder and the Corporation (the “Floor Price”).

 

c) Mechanics of Conversion

 

i. Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares, which Conversion Shares, if applicable, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions. For purposes hereof, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Corporation’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

 

9
 

 

ii. Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to the Holder any original Preferred Share certificate delivered to the Corporation (if applicable) and the Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Notice of Conversion.

 

iii. Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Corporation of any such action that the Corporation may have against such Holder. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of the Stated Value of its Preferred Shares, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Preferred Shares of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained, and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 150% of the Stated Value of the Preferred Shares which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares and, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Corporation fails to deliver to a Holder such Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 6(c)(i) by the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Corporation shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $5,000 of Stated Value of Preferred Shares being converted, $50 per Trading Day (increasing to $100 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day and increasing to $200 per Trading Day on the tenth Trading Day after such damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until such Conversion Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Corporation’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

 

iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Corporation fails for any reason to deliver to a Holder the applicable Conversion Shares by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 6(c)(i), and if after such Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which such Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Corporation shall: (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of Common Shares that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions): and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the Preferred Shares equal to the number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion (in which case, such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to such Holder the number of Common Shares that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6(c)(i). For example, if a Holder purchases Common Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of Preferred Shares with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to pay such Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Corporation, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Corporation’s failure to timely deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Shares as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

10
 

 

v. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Shares for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other Holders of the Preferred Shares), not less than 50,000,000 Common Shares. The Corporation covenants that all Common Shares that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

vi. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Corporation shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

vii. Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such Preferred Shares and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid. The Corporation shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.

 

d) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Preferred Shares, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Preferred Shares, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Common Shares which are issuable upon: (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Stated Value of Preferred Shares beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties; and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, the Preferred Shares or the Warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6(d) applies, the determination of whether the Preferred Shares are convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of how many Preferred Shares are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the Preferred Shares may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and how many Preferred Shares are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 6(d), in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Corporation shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including the Preferred Shares, by such Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares held by the applicable Holder.

 

11
 

 

e) Exchange Cap. Notwithstanding any provision of this Certificate of Designations to the contrary, the Corporation shall not issue any Common Shares upon conversion of any Preferred Shares or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations if the issuance of such Common Shares would exceed the aggregate number of Common Shares which the Corporation may issue upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and upon exercise of the Warrants, without breaching the Corporation’s obligations as set forth in Nasdaq Rule 5635(b) (or any successor provision thereto) (the maximum number of Common Shares which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Cap”); provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply in the event that the Corporation (i) obtains the approval of its shareholders as required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Trading Market for issuances of Common Shares in excess of such amount or (ii) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Corporation that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Until such approval or such written opinion is obtained, no Holder shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion of any shares of Preferred Shares, Common Shares in an amount greater than the product of (A) the Exchange Cap, multiplied by (B) the quotient of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Shares initially acquired by such Holder under the Purchase Agreement and the Equity Purchase Agreement dated on or about March 29, 2024, by and between the Company and the Holders party thereto, divided by (2) the aggregate number of Preferred Shares initially acquired by all Holders under the Purchase Agreement (with respect to each Holder, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Preferred Shares, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation with respect to such portion of such Preferred Shares so transferred, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation so allocated to such Transferee. Upon conversion in full of a Holder’s Preferred Shares, the difference (if any) between such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of Common Shares actually issued to such Holder upon such Holder’s conversion in full of such Preferred Shares shall be allocated, to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining Holders on a pro rata basis in proportion to the Common Shares underlying the Preferred Shares then held by each such Holder. No Preferred Shares or Common Shares held by any Holder of Preferred Shares shall be voted for Stockholder Approval.

 

Section 7. Certain Adjustments.

 

a) Share Dividends and Share Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while Preferred Shares are outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in Common Shares on the Common Shares or any other Common Share Equivalents; (ii) subdivides outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares; (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse share split) outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares; or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of its Common Shares, any shares of the Corporation, then the Set Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification. If at any time and from time to time when the Preferred Shares are outstanding there occurs any share split, share dividend, share combination recapitalization or other similar transaction involving the Common Shares (each, a “Share Combination Event”, and such date thereof, the “Share Combination Event Date”) and the Event Market Price is less than the Conversion Price then in effect (after giving effect to the adjustment in this Section 7(a)), then on the sixth (6th) Trading Day immediately following such Share Combination Event Date, the Conversion Price then in effect on such sixth (6th) Trading Day (after giving effect to the adjustment in this Section 7(a)) shall be reduced (but in no event increased) to the greater of the (i) Event Market Price and (ii) Floor Price. For the avoidance of doubt, if the adjustment in the immediately preceding sentence would otherwise result in an increase in the Conversion Price hereunder, no adjustment shall be made. For purposes hereof, the “Event Market Price” means, with respect to any Share Combination Event Date, the quotient determined by dividing (x) the sum of the VWAP of the Common Shares for each of the five (5) Trading Days ending and including the Trading Day immediately preceding the sixth (6th) Trading Day after such Share Combination Event Date, divided by (y) five (5).

 

12
 

 

b) Subsequent Equity Sales. If, at any time while the Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Corporation or any Subsidiary, as applicable sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire Common Shares at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Set Price (such lower price, the “Base Set Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive Common Shares at an effective price per share that is lower than the Set Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Set Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Set Price shall be reduced to equal the greater of the (i) Base Set Price and (ii) Floor Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever a Dilutive Issuance occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 7(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. The Corporation shall notify the Holders in writing, no later than the Trading Day following a Dilutive Issuance indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Corporation provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 7(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holders are entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Set Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether a Holder accurately refers to the Base Set Price in the Notice of Conversion.

 

c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 7(a) above, if at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any Common Share Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete conversion of such Holder’s Preferred Shares (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Common Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

13
 

 

d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as the Preferred Shares are outstanding, if the Corporation shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of the Preferred Shares, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete conversion of the Preferred Shares (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Common Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while the Preferred Shares are outstanding, (i) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person; (ii) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions; (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares; (iv) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property; or (v) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a shares or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Common Shares (not including any Common Shares held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such shares or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of the Preferred Shares, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 6(d) on the conversion of the Preferred Shares), the number of Common Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Corporation, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Common Shares for which the Preferred Shares are convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 6(d) on the conversion of the Preferred Shares). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Common Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of Preferred Shares following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred shares consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred Shares into Alternate Consideration. The Corporation shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Corporation is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate– and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of Preferred Shares, deliver to the Holder in exchange for the Preferred Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Preferred Shares which are convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital Shares of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Common Shares acquirable and receivable upon conversion of Preferred Shares (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares (but taking into account the relative value of the Common Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares, such number of shares and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of the Preferred Shares immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Corporation” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Corporation and shall assume all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Corporation herein.

 

14
 

 

f) 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 Common Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Common Shares (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.

 

g) Notice to the Holders.

 

i. Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Set Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder by email a notice setting forth the Set Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii. Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If: (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Shares; (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Shares; (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Shares of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property; or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of the Preferred Shares, and shall cause to be delivered by email to each Holder at its last email address as it shall appear in the share registers of the Corporation, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating; (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined; or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Corporation or any of the Subsidiaries, the Corporation shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert the Preferred Shares (or any part hereof) during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

15
 

 

Section 8. Protective Provisions. For so long as any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval (at a meeting duly called or by written consent, as provided by law) of a Simple Majority (collectively, the “Protective Provisions”):

 

(a) Amend any provision of this Certificate of Designations;

 

(b) Increase or decrease (other than by redemption or conversion) the total number of authorized shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Corporation;

16

Section 10. Opinion Letter. To the extent the Preferred Stock is not registered, the Corporation shall be responsible for supplying an opinion letter specific to the fact that the Common Shares issued pursuant to conversion of the Preferred Stock is exempt from the registration requirements pursuant to Rule 144, provided, however, that the requirements of Rule 144 are satisfied. The purchaser will accept a “blanket” opinion letter that applies to the entirety of the Preferred Stock so long as it is acceptable to the Corporation’s Transfer Agent. In the event the Corporation requires legal counsel to act in this capacity, the purchaser may recommend one, with all costs to be born solely by the Corporation.

 

Section 11. Negative Covenants. As long as any Preferred Shares are outstanding, unless a Simple Majority shall have otherwise given prior written consent, the Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of the Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

c) pay cash dividends or distributions on Junior Securities of the Corporation;

 

d) enter into any transaction with any Affiliate of the Corporation which would be required to be disclosed in any public filing with the Commission, unless such transaction is made on an arm’s-length basis and expressly approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Corporation (even if less than a quorum otherwise required for board approval);

 

e) breaches Section 3.11 of this Certificate of Designations; or

 

f) enters into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

Section 12. Corporation Optional Redemption.

 

(a) Corporation Optional Redemption. At any time while the Preferred Shares are outstanding, and on any date following Stockholder Approval, the Corporation shall have the right to redeem fifty (50%) of the Stated Value then outstanding, and an additional fifty (50%) percent of the Stated Value then outstanding upon the written consent of the Holders (each, the “Corporation Optional Redemption Amount”) on the Corporation Optional Redemption Date (each as defined below) (a “Corporation Optional Redemption”). If redeemed within ninety (90) calendar days from the date of issuance, the Preferred Shares subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 12(a) shall be redeemed by the Corporation in cash at a price (the “Corporation Optional Redemption Price”) equal to 110% of the Stated Value being redeemed as of the Corporation Optional Redemption Date, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends and all other amounts due to a Holder hereunder, if any. If redeemed within ninety-one (91) calendar days after the date of issuance, but no later than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the date of issuance, the Preferred Shares subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 12(a) shall be redeemed by the Corporation in cash at a Corporation Optional Redemption Price equal to 115% of the Stated Value being redeemed as of the Corporation Optional Redemption Date, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends and all other amounts due to a Holder hereunder, if any. If redeemed after one hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the date of issuance, the Preferred Shares subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 12(a) shall be redeemed by the Corporation in cash at a Corporation Optional Redemption Price equal to 120% of the Stated Value being redeemed as of the Corporation Optional Redemption Date, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends and all other amounts due to a Holder, if any. The Corporation may exercise its right to require redemption under this Section 12 by delivering a written notice thereof by electronic mail and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the Holders of Preferred Shares (the “Corporation Optional Redemption Notice” and the date all of the Holders of Preferred Shares received such notice is referred to as the “Corporation Optional Redemption Notice Date”). The Corporation may deliver only one Corporation Optional Redemption Notice hereunder and such Corporation Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. The Corporation Optional Redemption Notice shall (x) state the date on which the Corporation Optional Redemption shall occur (the “Corporation Optional Redemption Date”) which date shall not be less than ten (10) Trading Days nor more than twenty (20) Trading Days following the Corporation Optional Redemption Notice Date, and (y) state the aggregate Stated Value which is being redeemed in such Corporation Optional Redemption from the Holder and all of the other Holders of Preferred Shares on the Corporation Optional Redemption Date. The Corporation may not deliver a Corporation Optional Redemption Notice, and any Corporation Optional Redemption Notice delivered by the Corporation shall not be effective, unless all of the Equity Conditions have been met on each Trading Day during the period beginning on the Corporation Optional Redemption Notice Date through and including the Corporation Optional Redemption Date; provided that in connection with Equity Condition (c)(i), for purposes of this Section 12(a) only, if all of the Conversion Shares are not eligible for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement, such condition shall be deemed met if the Conversion Shares underlying that portion of the Preferred Shares being redeemed by the Corporation Optional Redemption Notice are eligible for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time prior to the date the Corporation Optional Redemption Price is paid, in full, the Corporation Optional Redemption Amount may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Shares pursuant hereto. All conversion amounts converted by the Holder after the Corporation Optional Redemption Notice Date shall reduce the Corporation Optional Redemption Amount required to be redeemed on the Corporation Optional Redemption Date. In the event of the Corporation’s redemption of any portion of the Preferred Shares under this Section 12, the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 12 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

 

(b) Pro Rata Redemption Requirement. If the Corporation elects to cause a Corporation Optional Redemption of the Preferred Shares, then it must simultaneously take the same action with respect to all Preferred Shares.
