7.

Mandatory Conversion.

 

 

(a)

Following receipt of Stockholder Approval, the Company shall convert all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, in which case each Holder will receive, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock being converted, a number of shares of Common Stock in aggregate equal to the Conversion Rate. The initial conversion rate for the Series A Preferred Stock is one (1) share of Common Stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Rate”).

 

 

 

 

(b)

To exercise the mandatory conversion right described in this Section 7, the Company must issue a press release for publication on the Dow Jones News Service or Bloomberg Business News (or if either such service is not available, another broadly disseminated news or press release service selected by the Company) announcing such a mandatory conversion. The Company shall also give notice by mail or by publication to the Holders (not later than two Business Days after the date of the press release) of the mandatory conversion announcing the Company’s intention to convert the Series A Preferred Stock. The conversion date will be a date selected by the Company (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”) and will be no earlier than five Business Days and no later than 20 Business Days after the date on which the Company issues the press release described in this Section 7(b). 

 

 

(c)

In addition to any information required by applicable Law, the press release and notice of a mandatory conversion described in Section 7(b) shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Mandatory Conversion Date; and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

 

(d)

On and after the Mandatory Conversion Date, all rights of Holders of such Series A Preferred Stock shall terminate, except for the right to receive the whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof with such adjustment or cash payment for fractional shares as the Company may elect pursuant to Section 9. Upon conversion, the Company will deliver to each Holder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted by such Holder multiplied by the then applicable Conversion Rate (with shares of Common Stock issued in whole integral multiples, rounded down in lieu of any fractional shares that a Holder would be entitled to receive) on the third (3rd) Business Day immediately following the relevant conversion date.

 

8.         Adjustment of Conversion Rate. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or issue by reclassification of its outstanding shares of Common Stock any shares of its Capital Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the date upon which such change shall become effective shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis.

 

9.         Dividends Upon Conversion. If dividends are required to be paid in cash with respect to the Dividend Period during which a Mandatory Conversion Date occurs:

 

(a)    if such Mandatory Conversion Date occurs before the Dividend Record Date for such Dividend Period, any accrued and unpaid dividends (to, but not including, such Mandatory Conversion Date) on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock subject to such conversion shall be paid in cash on such Mandatory Conversion Date; and

 

(b)    if such Mandatory Conversion Date occurs on or after the Dividend Record Date for such Dividend Period but on or before the Dividend Payment Date for such Dividend Period, any such dividends (to, but not including, such Mandatory Conversion Date) shall be paid in cash on the relevant Dividend Payment Date.

 

10.         No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or securities representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. If, upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, a Holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share of Common Stock, the Company will round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such Holder.

 

11.         Rights as Stockholders. The Series A Preferred Stock will not entitle their Holders to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, except as expressly provided in this Certificate of Designation.
