ARTICLE IV

Section 1.    Authorized Capital Stock. The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 60,000,000 consisting of: (a) 59,500,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (hereinafter called “Common Stock”), and (b) 500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (hereinafter called “Preferred Stock”).

2.1    Dividends. Subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock to receive all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon as provided in Section 3 prior to the payment of any dividends on the Common Stock, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive when, as, and if declared by the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”), out of funds legally available therefor, dividends payable in cash, stock or otherwise.

 

3


2.2    Distributions Upon Liquidation. In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, after the holders of Preferred Stock shall have received their Liquidation Value (as defined in Section 8 below) per share, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to share in the distribution of any remaining assets available for distribution to the holders of Common Stock.

2.3    Voting Rights. Subject to the voting rights granted to the holders of Preferred Stock, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote per share in voting or consenting on the election of directors and for all other corporate purposes.

Section 3.    Powers, Preferences and Special Rights of Preferred Stock. The powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of Preferred Stock are as follows:

3.1    Dividends.

(a)    General Obligation. When, as and if declared by the Board, and to the extent permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Corporation shall pay preferential dividends to the holders of Preferred Stock as provided in this Section 3.1. No dividend shall be paid with respect to any share of Preferred Stock unless such dividend is paid with respect to all shares of Preferred Stock. Dividends on each share of Preferred Stock (a “Preferred Share”) shall be paid at such time as determined by the Board and shall be paid in cash or additional shares of Preferred Stock (valued at the Liquidation Value thereof) as determined by the Board, and shall accrue and compound on a daily basis at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum of the sum of the Liquidation Value thereof from such Preferred Share’s date of issuance to and including the first to occur of (i) the date on which the Liquidation Value of such Preferred Share is paid to the holder thereof in connection with the liquidation of the Corporation or the redemption of such Preferred Share by the Corporation, (ii) the conversion of such shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.3 or (iii) the date on which such Preferred Share is otherwise acquired by the Corporation. Such dividends shall accrue whether or not they have been declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends, and such dividends shall be cumulative such that all accrued and unpaid dividends shall be fully paid or declared with funds irrevocably set apart for payment before any dividends, distributions, redemptions or other payments may be made with respect to any Junior Securities unless the Corporation complies with the requirements of Section 3.1(c) below. The date on which the Corporation initially issues any share shall be deemed to be its “date of issuance” regardless of the number of times transfer of such share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such share.

(b)    Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (whether voluntary or involuntary), each holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid, before any distribution or payment is made upon any Junior Securities, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value of all Preferred Shares held by such holder. If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation the Corporation’s assets to be distributed among the holders of Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit payment to such

 

4


holders of the Liquidation Value, then the entire assets available to be distributed to the Corporation’s stockholders shall be distributed pro rata among such holders based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value of Preferred Stock held by each such holder. If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation the Corporation’s assets to be distributed among the holders of the Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the aggregate amount which they are entitled to be paid under this Section 2, then the entire assets available to be distributed to the Corporation’s stockholders shall be distributed pro rata among such holders based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value of the Preferred Stock held by each such holder. Not less than five (5) business days prior to the payment date stated therein, the Corporation shall provide notice of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up to each record holder of Preferred Stock, setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of proceeds to be paid with respect to each Preferred Share and each share of Common Stock in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

(c)    Priority of Preferred Stock on Dividends and Redemptions. So long as any Preferred Stock remains outstanding, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any Junior Securities, nor shall the Corporation directly or indirectly pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution upon any Junior Securities; provided that the Corporation may repurchase shares of Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock from present or former employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons performing services for the Corporation or any subsidiary pursuant to agreements under which the Corporation has the option to repurchase such shares upon the occurrence of certain events, including, without limitation, the termination of employment.

3.2    Redemptions.

(a)    Optional Redemptions. Subject to the conversion rights contained in Section 3.3, the Corporation may at any time and from time to time redeem all or any portion of the Preferred Stock then outstanding, pro rata among the holders of the Preferred Stock. Upon any such redemption, the Corporation shall pay a price per share equal to the Liquidation Value thereof.

(b)    Redemption in Connection with an Initial Public Offering. Subject to the conversion provisions contained in Section 3.3, the Corporation shall, at the request (by written notice given to the Corporation) of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock, apply the net cash proceeds from any Initial Public Offering remaining after deduction of all discounts, underwriters’ commissions and other reasonable expenses to redeem, on a pro rata basis, all or any portion of the Preferred Stock at a price per Preferred Share equal to the Liquidation Value thereof. Such redemption shall take place on a date fixed by the Corporation, which date shall be not more than five (5) business days after the Corporation’s receipt of such proceeds.

(c)    Redemption Payments. For each Preferred Share which is to be redeemed hereunder, the Corporation shall be obligated on the Redemption Date to pay to the holder thereof (upon surrender by such holder of the certificate representing such Preferred Share) an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Liquidation Value of such Preferred Share. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of Preferred Shares on any

 

5


Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of Preferred Shares to be redeemed on such date, those funds which are legally available shall be used to redeem the maximum possible number of Preferred Shares pro rata among the holders of the Preferred Shares to be redeemed based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value of such Preferred Shares held by each such holder. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of Preferred Shares, such funds shall immediately be used to redeem the balance of the Preferred Shares which the Corporation has become obligated to redeem on any Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed.

(d)    Notice of Redemption. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Corporation shall provide written notice of each redemption of any Preferred Stock to each record holder thereof not more than sixty (60) nor less than five (5) business days prior to the date on which such redemption is to be made. In case fewer than the total number of Preferred Shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the number of unredeemed Preferred Shares shall each be issued to the holder thereof without cost to such holder within five (5) business days after surrender of the certificate representing the redeemed Preferred Shares.

(e)    Determination of the Number of Each Holder’s Preferred Shares to be Redeemed. The number of Preferred Shares to be redeemed from each holder thereof in redemptions hereunder shall be the number of Preferred Shares determined by multiplying the total number of Preferred Shares to be redeemed times a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Preferred Shares then held by such holder and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Preferred Shares then outstanding.

(f)    Dividends After Redemption Date. No Preferred Share shall be entitled to any dividends accruing after the date on which the Liquidation Value of such Preferred Share is paid to the holder of such Preferred Share. On such date, all rights of the holder of such Preferred Share shall cease, and such Preferred Share shall no longer be deemed to be issued and outstanding.

(g)    Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Preferred Shares. Any Preferred Shares which are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall be canceled and retired to authorized but unissued shares and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred.

(h)    Redemptions or Acquisitions. The Corporation shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to, redeem or otherwise acquire any Preferred Shares, except as expressly authorized herein.

(i)    Payment of Accrued Dividends. The Corporation may not redeem any Preferred Stock, unless all dividends accrued on the outstanding Preferred Stock through such Redemption Date have been declared and paid in full.

(j)    Special Redemptions. Subject to Section 3.3, if a Fundamental Change is proposed to occur, the Corporation shall give prompt written notice of such Fundamental Change describing in reasonable detail the material terms and date of consummation thereof to each holder of Preferred Stock not more than forty-five (45) days nor less than ten (10) days prior to

 

6


the consummation of such Fundamental Change. The holder or holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock then outstanding may require the Corporation to redeem all or any portion of the Preferred Stock owned by such holder or holders at a price per Preferred Share equal to the Liquidation Value thereof by giving written notice to the Corporation of such election five (5) days prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Change. The Corporation shall give prompt written notice of any such election to all other holders of Preferred Stock and each such holder shall have until the day prior to the date of the Fundamental Change to request redemption hereunder (by giving written notice to the Corporation) of all or any portion of Preferred Stock owned by such holder.

Upon receipt of such election(s), the Corporation shall be obligated to redeem the aggregate number of Preferred Shares specified therein on the occurrence of the Fundamental Change. If any proposed Fundamental Change does not occur, all requests for redemption in connection therewith shall be automatically rescinded, or if there has been a material change in the terms or the timing of the transaction, any holder of Preferred Stock may rescind such holder’s request for redemption by delivering written notice thereof to the Corporation prior to the consummation of the transaction.

The term “Fundamental Change” means (i) any sale, transfer or issuance or series of sales, transfers and/or issuances of Common Stock by the Corporation or any holders thereof which results in any Person or group of Persons (as the term “group” is used under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), other than the holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock as of the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement, owning more than fifty (50%) of Common Stock outstanding at the time of such sale, transfer or issuance or series of related sales, transfers and/or issuances, (ii) any sale or transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the assets of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (measured either by book value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied or by fair market value determined in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Board) in any transaction or series of transactions (other than sales in the ordinary course of business) and (iii) any merger or consolidation to which the Corporation is a party, except for a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation, the terms of Preferred Stock are not changed and Preferred Stock is not exchanged for cash, securities or other property, and after giving effect to such merger, the holders of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock possessing a majority of the voting power to elect a majority of the Board immediately prior to the merger shall continue to own the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock possessing the voting power to elect a majority of the Corporation’s Board.

(k)    Effect of Redemption on Preferred Shares. Any shares of Preferred Stock that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall be canceled and retired to authorized but unissued shares and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred.

3.3    Conversion.

(a)    Immediately prior to, but contingent upon, the closing of a Qualified IPO, each outstanding share of Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the result of (x) the Liquidation Value of such share of Preferred Stock, divided by (y) the per share price at which the Common Stock is being offered to the public pursuant to the Qualified IPO. For clarity, the redemption rights set forth in Section 3.2(b) shall not apply in the case of a Qualified IPO.

 

7


(b)    On or prior to the closing date of an Initial Public Offering, each outstanding share of Preferred Stock not theretofore redeemed or subject to an election for redemption pursuant to Section 3.2 shall automatically convert (the “Conversion Price”) into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the result of (x) the Liquidation Value of such share of Preferred Stock, divided by (y) the per share price at which the Common Stock is being offered to the public pursuant to the Initial Public Offering. The Corporation shall provide the holders of shares of Preferred Stock with written notice of the Initial Public Offering at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the closing date of the Initial Public Offering. Such notice shall specify the estimated initial public offering price of the Common Stock and the estimated Conversion Price thereon. The conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock (other than such shares of Preferred Stock, if any, subject to redemption pursuant to Section 3.2(b)) shall be effected as of the effective time of the Initial Public Offering. To the extent permitted by law, such conversion shall be deemed to be rescinded if no closing of the Initial Public Offering occurs.

(c)    Following any conversion pursuant to this Section 3.3, the holder of Preferred Stock shall receive shares of Common Stock upon the surrender of the certificate or certificates evidencing such shares to be converted (the “Converting Shares”), duly assigned to the Corporation or endorsed in blank, at the principal office of the corporation (or such other office or agency of the Corporation as the Corporation may designate by written notice to the holders of Preferred Stock) at any time during its usual business hours. Promptly after such surrender and the receipt of such written notice, the Corporation shall issue and deliver a certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock (or shall issue such shares in book-entry form) issuable upon such conversion (the “Converted Shares”). At the time of any conversion pursuant to the terms hereof, the rights of the holders of all Converting Shares as such holders shall cease, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names the certificate or certificates evidencing the Converted Shares are to be issued upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Converted Shares. Upon issuance of Converted Shares in accordance with this Section 3.3(c), such Converted Shares shall be deemed to be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(d)    The Corporation shall take all such corporate and other actions as from time to time may be necessary to reserve for issuance an adequate number of shares of Common Stock authorized but unissued or held as treasury shares to allow the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares.

(e)    No fractional Converted Shares shall be issued by the Corporation. In lieu thereof, the Corporation shall pay each holder of a fractional Converted Share an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the applicable fraction of the fractional Converted Share and (y) as applicable either the price per share to the public of the Common Stock sold by the Corporation in the Initial Public Offering or Qualified IPO, as applicable, as set forth in the final prospectus relating thereto or the per share value of the consideration to be received in connection with the transaction giving rise to the Fundamental Change.

Section 4.    Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein and as otherwise required by applicable law, the Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights; provided that each holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of all stockholders meetings at the same time and in the same manner as notice is given to all stockholders entitled to vote at such meetings.

Section 5.    Registration and Surrender. The Corporation shall keep at its principal office a register for the registration of each class of its capital stock. Upon the surrender of any certificate representing shares of any class of the Corporation’s capital stock at such place and as provided for herein, the Corporation shall, at the request of the record holder of such certificate, execute and deliver (at the Corporation’s expense) a new certificate or certificates of such class in exchange therefor representing, in the aggregate, the number of shares of such class of capital stock by the surrendered certificate taking into account any redemption or conversion thereof if applicable. Each such new certificate shall be registered in such name and shall be substantially identical in form to the surrendered certificate, and if such shares are Preferred Stock, then dividends shall accrue on Preferred Stock represented by such new certificate from the date to which dividends have been fully paid on such Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate.

Section 6.    Replacement. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (an affidavit of the registered holder shall be satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (provided that if the holder is a financial institution or other institutional investor its own agreement shall be satisfactory), or, in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Corporation shall (at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the number of shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock of such class represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate, and dividends shall accrue on Preferred Stock represented by such new certificate from the date to which dividends have been fully paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate.

Section 7.    Effect on Conversion Price of Certain Events.

For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under Section 7, the following shall be applicable:

(a)    Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets or other transaction, in each case which is effected in such a manner that the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, is referred to herein as an “Organic Change.” Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change, the Corporation shall make appropriate provisions (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock then outstanding) to insure that each of the holders of Preferred Stock shall thereafter have the right to acquire and receive, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the Conversion Price immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of such holder’s Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities

 

9


or assets as such holder would have received in connection with such Organic Change if such holder had converted its Preferred Stock immediately prior to such Organic Change. The Corporation shall not affect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Corporation) resulting from consolidation or merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock then outstanding), the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to acquire.

(b)    Record Date. If the Corporation takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (a) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, or (b) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or upon the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

Section 8.    Definitions.
