(a) Preferred Stock.

The Series C Cash Dividends accrued through a payment date shall be due and payable on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each calendar year in arrears or as otherwise specifically provided in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, provided that if any such quarterly payment date is not a business day, such payment shall be made on the next following business day.

(b) Cumulative Preferred Dividend Right of Series B Preferred Stock. After the Corporation has satisfied its obligations with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock set forth above, the holders of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of any assets legally available therefore, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any Distribution on the Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, cumulative dividends at the Series B Dividend Rate, on each share of Series B Preferred Stock, payable (A) when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, or (B) upon a Sale Event (to the extent not previously paid). The cumulative preferred dividend applicable to the Series B Preferred Stock shall (x) accrue with respect to each share of Series B Preferred Stock from the date on which such share is issued and from day to day thereafter, and (y) be payable in cash or shares of Common Stock of the Corporation as may be mutually agreed upon by the Board of Directors, including the consent of at least one Investor Director and the holder of such shares, with the number of shares of Common Stock per holder into which such dividends may be converted being determined by dividing the aggregate amount of the accumulated but unpaid dividend due such holder by the then fair market value of one share of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 2(b), the fair market value of one share of Common Stock shall be: (1) the initial "price to public" specified in the final prospectus with respect to a Series B Qualifying IPO; or (2) the value received by the holders of Common Stock pursuant to a Sale Event for each share of such securities or (3) the fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, including the consent of at least one Investor Director. In the event that a dividend is payable to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock as provided above but the full amount of the cumulative preferred dividend accrued with respect to the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock is not declared or paid to the holders of such shares, then the entire amounts available for payment of dividends accrued, declared or otherwise payable with respect to the shares of Series B Preferred shall be distributed ratably among the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, in accordance with the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by each such holder, until the full amount of all accrued and declared dividends with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock have been paid.
(c) Series A Preferred Stock. In any calendar year, and after the Corporation has satisfied its preferred obligation to the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock and then to holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock as set forth above, the holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends, payable in cash or in kind, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of any assets at the time legally available therefor, at the Series A Dividend Rate applicable to such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, payable in preference and priority to any declaration or payment of any Distribution on Common Stock of the Corporation in such calendar year. Payment of any dividends to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be on a pro rata, pari passu basis. The right to receive dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be cumulative, and no right to such dividends shall accrue to holders of Preferred Stock by reason of the fact that dividends on said shares are not declared or paid in any calendar year.
(d) Additional Dividends. The Corporation shall not declare, set aside or pay any dividends on any share of Common Stock (other than dividends on Common Stock payable solely in Common Stock) until all preferred dividends on the Preferred Stock have been declared and paid or set aside for payment to the holders of the Preferred Stock. After the payment or setting aside for payment of the dividends as described in Sections 2(a), (b) and (c) above, any additional dividends (other than dividends payable solely in Common Stock) declared or paid in any fiscal year shall be declared or paid among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock then outstanding in proportion to the greatest whole number of shares of Common Stock which would be held by each such holder if all shares of Series A Preferred Stock were converted at the then-effective Series A Conversion Rate (as defined in Section 4(a) hereof).
(e) Non-Cash Distributions. Whenever a Distribution provided for in this Section 2 shall be payable in property other than cash, the value of such Distribution shall be deemed to be the fair
-7-
market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors (including the consent of at least one Investor Director).
(f) Waiver of Dividends. Any dividend preference and any cumulative dividend of any series of Preferred Stock may be waived, in whole or in part, by the consent or vote of the holders of the majority of the outstanding shares of such series.
3. Liquidation Rights.
(a) Liquidation Preference.
(i) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any Distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount per share for each share of Series C Preferred Stock held by them equal to the sum of (i) the Series C Liquidation Preference and (ii) all declared or accrued but unpaid dividends (if any) on such share of Series C Preferred Stock, or such lesser amount as may be approved by the holders of the majority of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the "Series C Liquidation Amount"). If upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full amounts specified in this Section 3(a)(i), then the entire assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3(a)(i).
(ii) After the payment of the full Series C Liquidation Amount to all holders of Series C Preferred Stock as set forth above, and before any Distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets and funds of the Corporation (it being understood that all holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall participate on a pro-rata part passu basis in such preferential distributions, in accordance with the relative amounts payable to each) with respect to each share of Series B Preferred Stock held by them, the greater of: (i) an amount equal to the Series B Original Issue Price, plus all dividends accrued or declared but unpaid thereon, or (ii) an amount equal to what would have been received had such share of Series B Preferred Stock been converted to Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 below, immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up (the amount payable with respect to each share of Series B Preferred Stock is referred to herein as the "Series B Liquidation Amount"). If upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and after the payment of the amounts set forth in Section 3(a)(i) above, the assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to make payment of the full Series B Liquidation Amount to all holders of Series B Preferred Stock, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, ratably in proportion to the full preferential amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled pursuant to this subsection 3(a)(ii).
(iii) After the payment of the full Series C Liquidation Amount and Series B Liquidation Amount to all holders of Series C Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock as set forth above, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any Distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount per share for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by them
-8-
equal to the sum of (i) an amount equal to the applicable Series A Original Issue Price, (ii) all declared but unpaid dividends (if any) on such share of Series A Preferred Stock and (iii) an amount equal to the Series A Dividend Rate specified for such share of Series A Preferred Stock. If upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and after the payment of the amounts set forth in Section 3(a)(i) and (ii) above, the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full amounts specified in this Section 3(b), then the entire assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3(a)(iii).
(b) Remaining Assets. After the payment or setting aside for payment to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock of the full amounts specified in Section 3(a), the entire remaining assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed pro rata to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock of the Corporation in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them (with the holders of Series A Preferred Stock deemed to hold the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable on conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by them). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate distributions made pursuant to one or more subsections of this Section 3 with respect to any share of Series A Preferred Stock not issued or deemed to be issued in the Initial Closing (as that term is defined in the Series A Preferred Stock purchase agreement dated January 15, 2006) shall not exceed an amount equal to five (5) times the applicable Series A Original Issue Price plus declared but unpaid dividends.
(c) Shares not Treated as Both Preferred Stock and Common Stock in any Distribution. Shares of Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to be converted into shares of Common Stock in order to participate in any Distribution, or series of Distributions, as shares of Common Stock, without first foregoing participation in the Distribution, or series of Distributions, as shares of Preferred Stock.
(d) Reorganization. For purposes of this Section 3, a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include, (i) a Sale Event; or (ii) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.
(e) Valuation of Non-Cash Consideration. If any assets of the Corporation distributed to stockholders in connection with any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation are other than cash, then the value of such assets shall be their fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, except that any publicly-traded securities to be distributed to stockholders in a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation shall be valued as follows:
(i) if the securities are then traded on a national securities exchange, then the value of the securities shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange over the ten (10) trading day period ending five (5) trading days prior to the Distribution;
(ii) if the securities are actively traded over-the-counter, then the value of the securities shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices of the securities over the ten (10) trading day period ending five (5) trading days prior to the Distribution.
In the event of a merger or other acquisition of the Corporation by another entity, the Distribution date shall be deemed to be the date such transaction closes.

Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that he elects to convert the same; provided, however, that on the date of a Series A Automatic Conversion Event, Series B Automatic Conversion Event, or Series C Automatic Conversion Event, the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable, shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided further, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Series A Automatic Conversion Event, Series B Automatic Conversion Event, or Series C Automatic Conversion Event unless either the certificates evidencing such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable, are delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. On the date of the occurrence of a Series A Automatic Conversion Event, Series B Automatic Conversion Event, or Series C Automatic Conversion Event, each holder of record of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable, shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, notwithstanding that the certificates representing such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable, shall not have been surrendered at the office of the Corporation, that notice from the Corporation shall not have been received by any holder of record of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable, or that the certificates evidencing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to such holder.
The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or after such agreement and indemnification, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled as aforesaid, a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock, and an amount equal to all dividends declared or accrued but unpaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on (i) the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted or (ii) in the event of a Series A Automatic Conversion Event, Series B Automatic Conversion Event, or Series C Automatic Conversion Event the date of such Series A Automatic Conversion Event, Series B Automatic Conversion Event, or Series C Automatic Conversion Event, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for ail purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date; provided, however, that if the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offer of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act or a merger, sale, financing, or liquidation of the Corporation or other event, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing of such transaction or upon the occurrence of such event, in which case the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such transaction or the occurrence of such event.
(d) Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.
(i) Special Definition. For purposes of this paragraph 4(d), "Additional Shares of Common" shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to paragraph 4(d)(iii), deemed to be issued) by the Corporation after the filing of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, other than issuances or deemed issuances of:
-11-
(1) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable as a dividend or distribution on Preferred Stock or pursuant to any event for which adjustment is made pursuant to paragraph 4(e), 4(f) or 4(g) hereof;
(2) securities issued in connection with the acquisition of another corporation approved by the Board of Directors, whether by merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets of such corporation or otherwise,
(3) Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and like events) issued or issuable in connection with, or upon the exercise of, options or other awards granted to or to be granted to employees, consultants, officers, directors, advisors or independent contractors of the Corporation or of any Affiliate of the Corporation pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, including shares of Common Stock issued in replacement of shares of Common Stock repurchased or issuable upon exercise of options granted in replacement, exchange, or reissuance of any options to purchase Common Stock, to the extent permitted under the Stock Option Plan or related agreement and approved by the Board of Directors,
(4) securities or Options or Convertible Securities issued to any lender to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries that is not a holder of capital stock, Options or Convertible Securities or an Affiliate thereof in an arms-length transaction,
(5) securities or Options or Convertible Securities issued or issuable in connection with sponsored research, collaboration, technology license, development, original equipment manufacturing, marketing or other similar agreements or strategic partnerships with the Corporation approved by the Board of Directors,
(6) securities or Options or Convertible Securities issued to suppliers or third party service providers in connection with the provision of goods or services to the Corporation pursuant to transactions approved by the Board of Directors,
(7) securities issued as a result of any stock split, stock dividend or reclassification of the Corporation's capital stock not resulting in a change in beneficial ownership percentage of any holder of capital stock of the Corporation,
(8) securities or Options or Convertible Securities issued upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any securities or Options or Convertible Securities, including that certain Convertible Promissory Note and any Preferred Stock,
(9) securities or Options or Convertible Securities issued by the Corporation to the public pursuant to a Registration Statement filed with, and declared effective by, the SEC under the Act,
(10) securities or Options or Convertible Securities issued as a result of automatic adjustments pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions,
(11) securities or Options or Convertible Securities issued as payment-in-kind (whether issued as payment of principal or interest or as a dividend) under the Convertible Notes or in respect of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock, or
(12) securities or Options or Convertible Securities which are excluded from this definition by the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the
-12-
outstanding Series C Preferred Stock and the holders of a majority of the Corporation's outstanding capital stock, on an as-converted to Common Stock basis.
For purposes of this definition, the phrase "approved by the Board of Directors" or any similar phrase will mean approved by the Board of Directors, including the vote or written consent of at least one Investor Director,
(ii) No Adjustment of Conversion Price. No adjustment in the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common unless the consideration per share (as determined pursuant to paragraph 4(d)(v)) for an Additional Share of Common issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation is less than the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price, as applicable, in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to such issue, for such Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock.
(iii) Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common.
(1) If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the date of initial issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable, shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) directly or indirectly issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Options or Convertible Securities, will be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date will have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.
(2) If the terms of any Options or Convertible Securities, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4(d)(iv), are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Options or Convertible Securities (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Options or Convertible Securities) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Options or Convertible Securities or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of such Options or Convertible Securities (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) will be readjusted to such Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Options or Convertible Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this clause will have the effect of increasing the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (I) the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Options or Convertible Securities and (2) the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Options or Convertible Securities) between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.
-13-
(3) If the terms of any Options or Convertible Securities, the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4(d)(iv) (either because the consideration per share of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Options or Convertible Securities were issued before the date of this Note), are revised after the date of this Note as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Options or Convertible Securities (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Options or Convertible Securities) to provide for either (1) any increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Options or Convertible Securities or (2) any decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Options or Convertible Securities, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Section 4(d)(iii)( 1)) will be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.
(4) If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Options or Convertible Securities, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Options or Convertible Securities are issued or amended but are subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price provided for in this Section 4(d)(iii) will be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments will be treated as provided in Section 4(d)(iii)(2) and Section 4(d)(iii)(3)). If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Options or Convertible Securities, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the time such Options or Convertible Securities are issued or amended, any adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price that would result under the terms of this Section 4(d)(iii) at the time of such issuance or amendment will instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming for purposes of calculating such adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price that such issuance or amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.
(iv) Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common. In the event this Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common (including Additional Shares of Common deemed to be issued pursuant to paragraph 4(d)(iii)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price, as applicable, in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then, the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price, as applicable, shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price, as applicable, by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares which the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common so issued would purchase at such applicable Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common so issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price shall not be reduced at such time if the amount of such reduction
-14-
would be less than $0.01, but any such amount shall be carried forward, and a reduction will be made with respect to such amount at the time of, and together with, any subsequent reduction which, together with such amount and any other amounts so carried forward, equal $0.01 or more in the aggregate. For the purposes of this Subsection 4(d)(iv), all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and the exercise and/or conversion of any other outstanding Convertible Securities and all outstanding Options shall be deemed to be outstanding.
(v) Determination of Consideration, For purposes of this Section 4(d), the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock will be computed as set forth in this Section 4(d)(v). Such consideration will (I) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation, including in the case of Options or Convertible Securities the aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the direct or indirect exercise, conversion or exchange of such Options or Convertible Securities; (2) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, including at least one Investor Director; and (3) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration that covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (1) and (2) above, as determined in good faith by the Board, including at least one Investor Director.
(e) Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Common Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased.
(f) Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Preferred Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or a series of Preferred Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Preferred Stock, the Series A Dividend Rate, Series B Dividend Rate, Series C Cash Dividend Rate, Series C P1K Dividend Rate, Series A Original Issue Price, Series B Original Issue Price, Series C Original Issue Price, Series A Liquidation Preference, Series B Liquidation Preference and Series C Liquidation Preference in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or a series of Preferred Stock shall be combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Preferred Stock, the Series A Dividend Rate, Series B Dividend Rate, Series C Cash Dividend Rate, Series C PIK Dividend Rate, Series A Original Issue Price, Series B Original Issue Price, Series C Original Issue Price, Series A Liquidation Preference, Series B Liquidation Preference and Series C Liquidation Preference in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased.
(g) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. Subject to Section 3 ("Liquidation Rights"), if the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination
-15-
of shares provided for above), then, in any such event, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive each holder of such Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such shares of Preferred Stock into a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such series of Preferred Stock immediately before that change would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization or reclassification, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein with respect to such other shares.
(h) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of such affected series of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price, as applicable, at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of such holder's Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock.
(i) Waiver of Adjustment of Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any downward adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price may be waived by the consent or vote of the holders of the majority of the outstanding shares of such series either before or after the issuance causing the adjustment. Any such waiver shall bind all future holders of shares of such series of Preferred Stock.
(j) Notices of Record Date. In the event that this Corporation shall propose at any time:
(i) to declare any Distribution upon its Common Stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus;
(ii) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Stock outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or
(iii) to voluntarily liquidate or dissolve or to enter into any transaction deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation pursuant to Section 3(d);
then, in connection with each such event, this Corporation shall send to the holders of the Preferred Stock prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for such Distribution (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto and, if applicable, the amount and character of such Distribution) or for determining rights to vote in respect of the matters referred to in (ii) and (iii) above.
Such written notice shall be given by first class mail (or express courier), postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of Preferred Stock at the address for each such holder as shown on the books of the Corporation and shall be deemed given on the date such notice is mailed.
-16-
The notice provisions set forth in this section may be shortened or waived prospectively or retrospectively by the consent or vote of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock, voting as a single class and on an as-converted basis.
(k) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the 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 Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
(l) Adjustment in Connection with Adjusted 2008 EBITDA Calculation. Upon the final determination of the Corporation's Adjusted 2008 EBITDA in accordance with the SHA, the Series C Conversion Price of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 8.11 of the SHA (the "Revised C Conversion Price"). The Revised C Conversion Price shall be deemed to have been the Series C Conversion Price in effect from the date of the original issuance of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and shall be adjusted as otherwise provided herein for issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock and other events occurring after the initial issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock.
5. Redemption.
(a) Series B Preferred Stock. At any time after the later of (i) the sixth anniversary of the Series B Original Issue Date or (ii) the date after the Series C Original Issue Date on which no shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, either through conversion of such shares into Common Stock or pursuant to a repurchase of such shares by the Corporation, any holder or holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock may by written notice to the Corporation elect to exercise the redemption rights set forth in this Section 5. Upon receipt of such notice, the Corporation shall promptly deliver written notice of the proposed redemption to all other holders of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and the Corporation shall redeem, out of funds legally available therefore, all (but not less than all) outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder(s), together with all (but not less than all) outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock requested to be redeemed by any other holder joining in such request within twenty (20) days after the Corporation has delivered such written notice, which have not been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 hereof, in three (3) equal annual installments (each a "Series B Redemption Date"). The Corporation shall redeem the shares of Series B Preferred Stock by paying in cash an amount per share equal to the greater (i) the fair market value of the Series B Preferred Stock as of the date of the original redemption request, as determined by the Board of Directors, or (ii) the Series B Original Issue Price, plus an amount equal to all declared or accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (the "Series B Redemption Price"). The number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that the Corporation shall be required under this Section 5 to redeem on any one (1) Series B Redemption Date shall be equal to the amount determined by dividing: (a) the aggregate number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the applicable Series B Redemption Date for which redemption is requested hereunder by (b) the number of remaining Series B Redemption Dates (including the Redemption Date to which such calculation applies).
(b) Series A Preferred Stock. At any time after the later of (i) the sixth anniversary of the Series B Original Issue Date or (it) the date after the Series C Original Issue Date on which no shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, either through conversion of such shares into
-17-
Common Stock or pursuant to a repurchase of such shares by the Corporation, any holder or holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock may by written notice to the Corporation elect to exercise the redemption rights set forth in this Section 5. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Corporation shall promptly deliver written notice of the proposed redemption to all other holders of then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and the Corporation shall redeem, out of funds legally available therefor, all (but not less than all) outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder(s), together with all (but not less than all) outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock requested to be redeemed by any other holder joining in such request within twenty (20) days after the Corporation has delivered such written notice, which have not been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 hereof, in three (3) equal annual installments (each a "Series A Redemption Date"). The Corporation shall redeem the shares of Series A Preferred Stock by paying in cash an amount per share equal to the Series A Original Issue Price for such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, plus an amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not earned (the "Series A Redemption Price"). The number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that the Corporation shall be required under this Section 5 to redeem on any one (1) Redemption Date shall be equal to the amount determined by dividing: (a) the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Redemption Date for which redemption is requested hereunder by (b) the number of remaining Redemption Dates (including the Redemption Date to which such calculation applies).
(c) Redemption Mechanics. Any redemption effected pursuant to this Section 5 shall be made on a pro rata basis among the holders of Series B Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, requesting redemption hereunder, in proportion to the shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, then held by them.
(d) Redemption Notices. At least fifteen (15), but no more than thirty (30) days prior to each Series B Redemption Date or Series A Redemption Date, as applicable, written notice shall be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each holder of record (at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given) of the series of Preferred Stock to be redeemed, at the address last shown on the records of the Corporation for such holder, notifying such holder of the redemption to be effected, specifying the number of shares to be redeemed from such holder, the applicable Series A or Series B Redemption Date, the applicable Series A or Series B Redemption Price, the place at which payment may be obtained and calling upon such holder to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, the holder's certificate or certificates representing the shares to be redeemed (the "Redemption Notice"). Except as provided herein, on or after the Redemption Date each holder of Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender to the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing such shares, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Series B or Series A Redemption Price, as applicable, of such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be cancelled. In the event less than all the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares.
(e) Rights as Stockholders. From and after the applicable Series A or Series B Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment of the applicable Series A or Series B Redemption Price, all rights of the holders of shares of the series of Preferred Stock designated for redemption in the Redemption Notice with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed (except the right to receive the applicable Series A or Series B Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their certificate or certificates) shall cease with respect to the shares designated for redemption on such date, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares of Preferred Stock on any Redemption Date are insufficient to
-18-
redeem the total number of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such date, those funds which are legally available will be used to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares ratably among the holders of such shares to be redeemed based upon their holdings of Preferred Stock to be redeemed. The shares of Preferred Stock not redeemed shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided herein. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of shares of Preferred Stock such funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the shares which the Corporation has become obliged to redeem on any Series B or Series A Redemption Date, but which it has not redeemed.
(f) Deposit of Payment Amounts; Status of Shares. On or prior to each Series B or Series A Redemption Date, the Corporation may deposit the applicable Series B or Series A Redemption Price of all shares of Preferred Stock designated for redemption in the Redemption Notice and not yet redeemed with a bank or trust corporation having aggregate capital and surplus in excess of $100,000,000, as a trust fond for the benefit of the respective holders of the shares designated for redemption and not yet redeemed, with irrevocable instructions and authority to the bank or trust corporation to pay the applicable Series A or Series B Redemption Price for such shares to their respective holders on or after the applicable Series A or Series B Redemption Date upon receipt of notification from the Corporation that such holder has surrendered a share certificate to the Corporation pursuant to Section 5(d) above. As of the Redemption Date, the deposit shall constitute full payment of the shares to their holders, and from and after the applicable Series A or Series B Redemption Date the shares so called for redemption shall be redeemed and shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding, and the holders thereof shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no rights with respect thereto except the right to receive from the bank or trust corporation payment of the applicable Series A or Series B Redemption Price of the shares, without interest, upon surrender of their certificates therefor. Such instructions shall also provide that any moneys deposited by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 5(f) for the redemption of shares thereafter converted into shares of the Corporation's Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 hereof prior to the applicable Series A or Series B Redemption Date shall be returned to the Corporation forthwith upon such conversion. The balance of any moneys deposited by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 5(f) remaining unclaimed at the expiration of two (2) years following the applicable Series A or Series B Redemption Date shall thereafter be returned to the Corporation upon its request expressed in a resolution of its Board of Directors.
6. Voting.
(a) Restricted Class Voting. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, the holders of Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock shall vote together and not as separate classes.
(b) No Series Voting. Other than as provided herein or required by law, there shall be no series voting.
(c) Preferred Stock. Each holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to (i), in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder could be converted as of the record date, and (ii), in the case of the Series C Preferred Stock, the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder could be converted as of the record date and (B) 170. The holders of shares of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters on which the Common Stock shall be entitled to vote. Holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders' meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation. Fractional votes shall not, however, be
-19-
permitted and any fractional voting rights resulting from the above formula (after aggregating all votes represented by the Preferred Stock held by each holder), shall be disregarded.
(d) Directors. So long as at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate number of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock originally issued remains outstanding and the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock represents at least five percent (5%) of the then outstanding total capital stock of the Corporation, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a single voting group on an as-converted basis, shall be entitled to elect one (1) director. So long as there is any Series C Preferred Stock outstanding, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, voting on an as-converted basis, shall be entitled to elect two directors. At such time as the aggregate investment in Convertible Notes and Series C Preferred Stock issued under the Purchase Agreement is equal to or greater than $85.0 million, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, voting on an as-converted basis, shall be entitled to elect a third director. The remaining members of the Board of Directors shall be elected by the holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting together. Each member of the Board of Directors will be entitled to one vote on all matters that are presented to the Board of Directors; provided, however, that if at any time after March 31, 2009 the EBITDA (as computed in accordance with the terms of the SHA) for the immediately preceding and completed four calendar quarters (the "EBITDA Calculation") falls below the Trigger Threshold (as defined in the SHA), as the same may be adjusted pursuant the terms of the SHA, for three consecutive months, then each Investor Director will be entitled to two votes on all such matters (the "Super Vote") and each of the other directors on the Board of Directors will be entitled to one vote on all such matters, until such time as the EBITDA Calculation exceeds the Trigger Threshold, as the same may hereafter be adjusted pursuant to the SHA, for three consecutive months, provided, that, the provisions relating to the Super Vote shall terminate and no longer be in effect on the date that there are no longer outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock.
(e) Adjustment in Authorized Common Stock. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) by an affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation.
(f) Common Stock. Each holder of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share thereof held.
