1. Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The Corporation hereby establishes a series of 1,925,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, known as the “Series C Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series C Preferred Stock”).

2. Rank. The Series C Preferred Stock shall, with respect to payment of dividends, redemption, rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation and otherwise (i) rank on a parity with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Corporation, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), as it shall be authorized from time to time and the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Corporation, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), as it shall be authorized from time to time; and (ii) rank senior and prior to the Common Stock of the Corporation, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and each other class or series of equity securities of the Corporation, whether currently issued or issued in the future (except as otherwise consented to or approved by the requisite holders of Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 5 below).

3. Dividends. The Corporation shall not declare or pay any dividends (other than dividends on shares of Common Stock payable solely in shares of Common Stock) on shares of Common Stock until the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have first received, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock in an amount equal to the product of (i) the per share dividend to be declared, paid or set aside for the Common Stock, multiplied by (ii) the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series C Preferred Stock is then convertible.

4. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up: Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset Sales.

(B) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or the sale of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to .a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation; or

(C) the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public in a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended resulting in at least $10,000,000 of gross proceeds to the Corporation.

(ii) The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event pursuant to Section 4(c)(i)(A)(l) above unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Sections 4(a) and 4(b) above.

(iii) The amount deemed paid or distributed to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation upon any such merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, exclusive license, other disposition or redemption shall be the cash or the value of the property, rights or securities paid or distributed to such holders by the Corporation or the acquiring person, firm or other entity. If the amount deemed paid or distributed under this Section 4(c)(iii) is made in property other than in cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property, determined as follows:

(A) For securities not subject to investment letters or other similar restrictions on free marketability:

(III) if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(B) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letters or other similar restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder’s status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall take into account an appropriate discount (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) from the market value as determined pursuant to clause (A) above so as to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof.

5. Voting; Certain Actions.

(a) General. On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation (or by written action of stockholders in lieu of meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. Except as provided by law, by the provisions of Section 5(b) below, holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class.

(b) Certain Actions. For as long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation) the written consent or affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Series C Preferred Stock then issued and outstanding, given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class:

(i) amend, alter or repeal (1) any right, preference or privilege of the Series C Preferred Stock or (2) any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Corporation, or the documents executed in connection with such agreements in a manner which adversely affects the Series C Preferred Stock;

(ii) create or authorize the creation of any additional class or series of shares of stock (or any debt security which by its terms is convertible into or exchangeable for any equity security of the Corporation and any security which is a combination of debt and equity) unless the same ranks junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends and the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; or issue, or agree to issue, any equity security (or any security convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for or into any equity security);

(iii) issue, or obligate itself to issue, any additional shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Series C Preferred Stock Certificate Of Powers, Designations, Preferences And Rights – Page 5


6. Optional Conversion.

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

(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Series C Original Issue Price by the Series C Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The “Series C Conversion Price” shall initially be the Series C Original Issue Price. Such initial Series C Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series C Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below.

(b) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then effective Series C Conversion Price. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

(c) Mechanics of Conversion.

(i) In order for a holder of Series C Preferred Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Series C Preferred Stock (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Series C Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that such holder elects to convert all or any number of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by such certificate or certificates and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent. Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued if required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) of such certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) and notice shall be the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares represented by such certificate shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, issue and deliver to such holder of Series C Preferred Stock, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share.

 

Series C Preferred Stock Certificate Of Powers, Designations, Preferences And Rights – Page 6


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

(iii) All shares of Series C Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor, Any shares of Series C Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and shall not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation (without the need for stockholder action) may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock accordingly.

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

(v) The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series C Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid,

(d) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the date on which the first share of Series C Preferred Stock was issued (the “Series C Original Issue Date”) effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common

 

Series C Preferred Stock Certificate Of Powers, Designations, Preferences And Rights – Page 7


Stock, the Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Series C Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock ‘issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this Section 6(d) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(e) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series C Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Series C Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution;

provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Series C Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Series C Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 6(e) as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and provided further, however, that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Series C Preferred Stock simultaneously receive (i) a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event or (ii) a dividend or other distribution of shares of Series C Preferred Stock which are convertible, as of the date of such event; into such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to the number of additional shares of Common Stock being issued with respect to each share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution,

(f) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series C Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive,

 

Series C Preferred Stock Certificate Of Powers, Designations, Preferences And Rights – Page 8


a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property and the provisions of Section 3 do not apply to such dividend or distribution, then and in each such event the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

(g) Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 2(c), if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Series C Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Sections 6(d), Section 6(e) or Section 6(f), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Series C Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 6 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 6 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Series C Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock.

(h) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Series C Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 6, the Corporation at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Series C Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the Series C Preferred Stock is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of Series C Preferred Stock (but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Series C Conversion Price then in effect, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the conversion of Series C Preferred Stock.

7. Mandatory Conversion.

(a) Upon (i) the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock in a public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) the receipt by the Corporation of a written consent to conversion from the holders

 

Series C Preferred Stock Certificate Of Powers, Designations, Preferences And Rights – Page 9


of at least 50% of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, or (iii) the date of conversion into Common Stock of all outstanding shares of any series of preferred Stock ranking on liquidation senior to the Series C Preferred Stock (the date of such closing or the date of receipt of such consent or the date of such conversion being hereafter referred to as the “Mandatory Conversion Date”), (A) all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective conversion rate and (B) the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock shall be automatically reduced by the number of shares of Preferred Stock that has been designated as Series C Preferred Stock.

(b) All holders of record of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be given written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Date and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7. Such notice need not be given in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Date. Such notice shall be sent by first class or registered mail, postage prepaid, to each record holder of Series C Preferred Stock (or the records of the Corporation, if it serves as its own transfer agent). Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall surrender his or its certificate or certificates for all such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice, and shall thereafter receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 7. On the Mandatory Conversion Date, all outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted into shares of Common Stock, which shall be deemed to be outstanding of record, and all rights with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock) will terminate, except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefor, to receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Series C Preferred Stock has been converted, and payment of any declared but unpaid dividends thereon. If so required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his or its attorney duly authorized in writing. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Date and the surrender of the certificate or certificates for Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall cause to be issued and delivered to such holder, or on his or its written order,, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions, hereof and cash as provided in Section 6(b) in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion.

8. Waiver. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any of the rights, powers preferences and other terms of the Series C Preferred Stock set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all holders of Series C Preferred Stock by the affirmative consent or vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding.

RESOLVED, that the officers of the Corporation be, and each hereby is, authorized, empowered and directed to file in the name, and on behalf, of the Corporation, a “Certificate of Powers, Designations, Preferences, and Rights” relating to such Series C Convertible Preferred Stock or such similar document(s) as may be required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and to take such further actions as such officers, in their sole discretion, determine to be necessary, convenient or appropriate for the Corporation to establish the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and to fix the number of shares and the powers, designations, rights, preferences and limitations of the shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.
