8% SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
OF
TIMBERJACK SPORTING SUPPLIES, INC.
The Articles of Incorporation of Timberjack Sporting Supplies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), provide that the Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001, and that the Board of Directors have the authority to attach such terms as they deem fit with respect to the preferred stock.
Pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Articles of Incorporation, and pursuant to Section 78.1955 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the Board of Directors, by Unanimous Written Consent, dated September 29, 2010, adopted a resolution providing for the designation, rights, powers and preferences and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of 1,500,000 shares of 8% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and that a copy of such resolution is as follows:
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors of the Company, the provisions of its Articles of Incorporation, and in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes, the Board of Directors hereby authorizes the filing of a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of 8% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company. Accordingly, the Company is authorized to issue 8% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with par value of $0.001 per share, which shall have the powers, preferences and rights and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, as follows:
1. Designation and Rank. The designation of such series of the Preferred Stock shall be the 8% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The maximum number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be 1,500,000 shares. The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank senior to the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and to all other classes and series of equity securities of the Company which by their terms do not rank pari passu or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock (“Junior Stock”). The Series A Preferred Stock shall be subordinate to and rank junior to all indebtedness of the Company now or hereafter outstanding.
2. Dividends.
(a) Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall accrue and be cumulative from and after the date of the initial issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Issuance Date”). For each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock, dividends shall be payable quarterly, at the rate of 8% per annum, on or before each date that is thirty (30) days (or if such thirtieth (30th) day does not fall on a business day, the next following date that is a business day) following the last day of each March, June, September and December of each year (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”), with the first Dividend Payment Date to occur promptly following the quarter ended September 30, 2010, and continuing until such share is fully converted. The Company shall pay all or any portion of each and every quarterly dividend that is payable on each Dividend Payment Date in cash.
(b) Subject to Section 2(a) above, Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears beginning three (3) business days following the filing of this Series A Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, as contemplated by that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated on or about the date hereof (the “Dividend Commencement Date”), by and among the Company and the other Parties thereto, including Purchasers named therein (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company issued, and such Purchasers purchased, inter alia, the Series A Preferred Stock upon the terms and conditions stated therein. Such initial dividend shall be prorated from the Dividend Commencement Date to the first Dividend Payment Date.

3. Voting Rights.
(a) Class Voting Rights. The Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following class voting rights (in addition to the voting rights set forth in Section 3(b) hereof). Except for approval of the Reverse Split (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) which shall not require the separate approval of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, so long as any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at such time (the “Majority Holders”), given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting in which the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock vote separately as a class:
(i) authorize, create, issue or increase the authorized or issued amount of any class or series of Preferred Stock, which class or series, in any such case, ranks pari passu or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock, with respect to the distribution of assets on Liquidation (as defined below);
(ii) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Series A Preferred Stock, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, so as to adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that any creation and issuance of another series of Junior Stock shall not be deemed to adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers;
(iii) issue any shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or any securities convertible into or exercisable for, directly or indirectly, any shares of Series A Preferred Stock or other security, other than Junior Stock) other than pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement;
(iv) repurchase, redeem or pay dividends on, shares of Common Stock or any other shares of the Company's Junior Stock (other than de minimis repurchases from employees of the Company in certain circumstances or repurchases pursuant to a plan approved by the Board of Directors);
(v) amend the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company so as to affect materially and adversely any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that any creation and issuance of another series of Junior Stock shall not be deemed to adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers;
(vi) effect any distribution with respect to Junior Stock other than as permitted pursuant to clause (iv) above;
(vii) reclassify the Company’s outstanding securities;
(viii) voluntarily file for bankruptcy, liquidate the Company’s assets or make an assignment for the benefit of the Company’s creditors; or
2
(ix) materially change the nature of the Company’s business.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no change pursuant to Section 9 herein shall be effective to the extent that, by its terms, it applies to less than all of the Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.
(b) General Voting Rights. Except with respect to transactions upon which the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote separately as a class pursuant to Section 3(a) above and as otherwise required by Nevada law, the Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights with the Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company. The Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible shall, when issued, have all of the same voting rights as other issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company, and none of the rights of the Series A Preferred Stock.
4. Liquidation Preference.
(a) In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (each, a “Liquidation”), the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount equal to $4.00 per share of the Series A Preferred Stock, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not declared, together with any other dividends declared but unpaid thereon, as of the date of Liquidation (collectively, the “Series A Liquidation Preference Amount”) before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of the Common Stock or any other Junior Stock. If the assets of the Company are not sufficient to pay in full the Series A Liquidation Preference Amount payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and any series of Preferred Stock or any other class of stock ranking pari passu, as to rights on Liquidation, with the Series A Preferred Stock, then all of said assets will be distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the other classes of stock ranking pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock, if any, ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. The liquidation payment with respect to each outstanding fractional share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be equal to a ratably proportionate amount of the liquidation payment with respect to each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock. All payments for which this Section 4(a) provides shall be in cash, property (valued at its fair market value as determined by an independent appraiser chosen by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock) or a combination thereof; provided, however, that no cash shall be paid to holders of Junior Stock unless each holder of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock has been paid in cash the full Series A Liquidation Preference Amount to which such holder is entitled as provided herein.
(b) A consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or corporations, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the effectuation by the Company of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting shares of the Company is disposed of or conveyed, shall be deemed to be a Liquidation.
(c) The Company shall provide written notice of any redemption or Liquidation, stating a payment date and the place where the distributable amounts shall be payable, by mail, postage prepaid, no less than forty-five (45) calendar days prior to the payment date stated therein, to the holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock at their respective addresses as the same shall appear on the books of the Company, which notice shall also state the amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock that will be paid or distributed on such redemption or Liquidation if such amount differs from the Series A Liquidation Preference Amount.
3
5. Conversion. The holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following conversion rights (the “Conversion Rights”):
(a) Right to Convert. At any time on or after the Issuance Date, the holder of any such shares of Series A Preferred Stock may, at such holder’s option, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7 herein, elect to convert (a “Voluntary Conversion”) all or any portion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such person into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the Series A Liquidation Preference Amount of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted divided by (ii) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 5(c) below) in effect as of the date of the delivery by such holder of its Conversion Notice (as hereinafter defined). In the event of a notice of redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the Conversion Rights of the shares designated for redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for redemption, unless the redemption price is not paid on such redemption date, in which case the Conversion Rights for such shares shall continue until such price is paid in full. In the event of a Liquidation, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock.
(b) Mechanics of Voluntary Conversion. The Voluntary Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be conducted in the following manner:
(i) Holder’s Delivery Requirements. To convert Series A Preferred Stock into full shares of Common Stock on any date (the “Voluntary Conversion Date”), the holder thereof shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time on such date, a copy of a fully executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”), to the Company at Timberjack Sporting Supplies, Inc., c/o Linyi Chan Tseng Wood Co., Ltd., Daizhuang Industrial Zone, Yitang Town, Lanshan District, Linyi City, Shandong Province, PRC, Attn: Chief Executive Officer, Telephone No.: (86) (539) 8566-168, Facsimile No.: 86 (757) 8625-9293; and (B) deliver to the Company’s designated transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) as soon as practicable following such Voluntary Conversion Date the original certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to such shares in the case of their loss, theft or destruction) (the “Preferred Stock Certificates”) and the originally executed Conversion Notice.
(ii) Company’s Response. Upon receipt by the Company of a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall immediately send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such holder. Upon receipt by the Company of a copy of the fully executed Conversion Notice and by the Transfer Agent of the Preferred Stock Certificates, the Company shall, within three (3) trading days following the later of the (x) date of receipt by the Company of the fully executed Conversion Notice, and (y) date of receipt of the Preferred Stock Certificates by the Transfer Agent, issue and deliver to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) as specified in the Conversion Notice, certificates registered in the name of the holder or its designee, representing the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or its Transfer Agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder’s behalf via DWAC if a registration statement providing for the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock is effective or other exemption from registration by which the shares may be issued without a restrictive legend is available. If the number of shares of Preferred Stock represented by the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) submitted for conversion is greater than the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted, then the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) business days after receipt of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) and at the Company’s expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock not converted.
4
(iii) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion, the Company shall cause its Transfer Agent to promptly issue to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall submit the arithmetic calculations to the holder via facsimile as soon as possible, but in no event later than three (3) business days after receipt of such holder's Conversion Notice. If such holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion within one (1) business day of such disputed arithmetic calculation being submitted to the holder, then the Company shall within one (1) business day thereafter submit via facsimile the disputed arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause the accountant to perform the calculations and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than seventy-two (72) hours from the time it receives the disputed calculations. Such accountant's calculation shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error. The reasonable expenses of such accountant in making such determination shall be paid by the Company, in the event the holder's calculation was correct, or by the holder, in the event the Company’s calculation was correct, or equally by the Company and the holder in the event that neither the Company’s or the holder’s calculation was correct. The period of time in which the Company is required to effect conversions or redemptions under this Certificate of Designation shall be tolled with respect to the subject conversion or redemption pending resolution of any dispute by the Company made in good faith and in accordance with this Section 5(b)(iii).
(iv) Record Holder. The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock from and after the Conversion Date.
(v) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If within three (3) business days, with respect to Common Stock being issued upon conversion, and within three (3) business days in the event a new Preferred Stock Certificate is being issued, after the later of the (x) date of receipt by the Company of the fully executed Conversion Notice, and (y) date of receipt of the original Preferred Stock Certificates by the Transfer Agent, so long as there are no disputes regarding such calculation (the “Delivery Date”) the Transfer Agent shall fail to issue and deliver to a holder the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled upon such holder's conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (a “Conversion Failure”), in addition to all other available remedies which such holder may pursue hereunder and under the Securities Purchase Agreement (including indemnification pursuant to Article VI thereof), the Company shall pay additional damages to such holder on each business day after such third (3rd) business day that such conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal to 0.5% of the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the holder on a timely basis pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) and to which such holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Bid Price (as defined in Section 5(b)(vii) below) of the Common Stock on the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Common Stock, as the case may be, to such holder without violating Section 5(b)(ii). If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 5(b)(v) within ten (10) business days of the date incurred, then such payment shall bear interest at the rate of 2.0% per month (pro rated for partial months) until such payments are made.
5
(vi) Buy-In Rights. In addition to any other rights available to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, if the Company fails to cause its Transfer Agent to transmit to the holder a certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date the holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock which the holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the holder the amount by which (x) the holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock that the Company was required to deliver to the holder in connection with the conversion at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (such amount to be offset by any payment already made to holder under Section 5(b)(v)), and (2) at the option of the holder, either reinstate the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and equivalent number of shares of Common Stock for which such conversion was not honored or deliver to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its conversion and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay to the holder $1,000. The holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(vii) The term “Closing Bid Price” shall mean, for any security as of any date, the last closing bid price of such security on the NYSE or any successor market thereto, the NYSE AMEX or any successor market thereto, Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select or any successor market thereto (collectively, “Nasdaq,” and together with NYSE and NYSE AMEX, each a “National Stock Exchange”), OTC Bulletin Board or other principal exchange on which such security is traded as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no closing bid price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the last closing trade price of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no last closing trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security as reported in the “pink sheets” by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices). If the Closing Bid Price cannot be calculated for such security on any date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock.
(viii) Mandatory Conversion. Provided that the Common Stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock is registered in an effective registration statement that has been in effect for the prior twenty (20) trading days, the Company shall have the right to force the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to convert into Common Stock at such time that the VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock is no less than $10.00 per share for a period of thirty (30) consecutive trading days and the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock for such thirty (30) day period is at least 100,000 shares per day (the “Mandatory Conversion”). Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock so converted may deliver to the Company at its executive office, or to the Company’s Transfer Agent, as applicable, the certificate or certificates for the Series A Preferred Stock so converted. As promptly as practicable thereafter, the Company shall issue, or shall cause its Transfer Agent to issue and deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, together with any cash dividends and payment in lieu of fractional shares to which such holder may be
6
entitled pursuant to Section 5(i). Until such time as a holder of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall surrender its certificates therefor as provided above, such certificates shall be deemed to represent the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Section 5(b). For purposes hereof, “VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a National Securities Exchange, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on a National Securities Exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. New York City time to 4:00 p.m. New York City time); (b) if on the Common Stock is then quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin Board; (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink OTC Markets Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported; or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
(ix) Company Redemption. On the three (3) year anniversary of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares, the Company shall redeem all of the issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Shares at the Series A Liquidation Preference Amount (the “Company Redemption”). The obligation of the Company to redeem shares as provided herein shall be subject to any applicable restrictions of law.
(c) Conversion Price.
(i) The term “Conversion Price” shall mean $4.00 per share subject to adjustment under Section 5(d) hereof. Notwithstanding any adjustment hereunder, at no time shall the Conversion Price be greater than $4.00 per share except if it is adjusted pursuant to Section 5(d)(i).
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if during any period (a “Black-out Period”), a holder of Series A Preferred Stock is unable to trade any Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock immediately due to the delay or suspension of effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), or because the Company has otherwise informed such holder of Series A Preferred Stock that an existing prospectus cannot be used at that time in the sale or transfer of such Common Stock (provided that such postponement, delay, suspension or fact that the prospectus cannot be used is not due to factors solely within the control of the holder of Series A Preferred Stock or due to the Company exercising its rights under Section 3(n) of the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)), such holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the option but not the obligation on any Conversion Date within ten (10) trading days following the expiration of the Black-out Period of using the Conversion Price applicable on such Conversion Date or any Conversion Price selected by such holder of Series A Preferred Stock that would have been applicable had such Conversion Date been at any earlier time during the Black-out Period or within the ten (10) trading days thereafter.
(d) Adjustments of Conversion Price.
(i) Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations. Except for the Reverse Split (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) which shall not result in an adjustment of the Conversion Price, if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, effect a split of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustments under this Section 5(d)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination becomes effective.
7
(ii) Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, the Conversion Price shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:
(1) 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
(2) 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.
(iii) Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution by the Company, payable in securities of the Company, other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Company which they would have received had their Series A Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had such holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period), giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 5(d)(iii) with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock; 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 Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph 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 A 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 A 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 A 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.
(iv) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date shall be changed to the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Sections 5(d)(i), (ii) and (iii), or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for in Section 5(d)(v)), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share of Series A Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series A Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
8
(v) Adjustments for Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of Assets. If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there shall be (i) a capital reorganization of the Company (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends or distributions provided for in Section 5(d)(i), (ii) and (iii), or a reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares provided for in Section 5(d)(iv), or (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation where the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting securities prior to such merger or consolidation do not own over 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the merged or consolidated entity, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (iii) the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets to any other person (an “Organic Change”), then as a part of such Organic Change an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made if necessary and provision shall be made if necessary (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share of Series A Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property of the Company or any successor corporation resulting from the Organic Change. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5(d)(v) with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock after the Organic Change to the end that the provisions of this Section 5(d)(v) (including any adjustment in the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares of stock or other securities deliverable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be applied after that event in as nearly an equivalent manner as may be practicable. In any such case, the resulting or surviving corporation (if not the Company) shall expressly assume the obligations to deliver, upon the exercise of the conversion privilege, such securities or property as the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock remaining outstanding (or of other convertible preferred stock received by such holders in place thereof) shall be entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions hereof, and to make provisions for the protection of the conversion rights as provided above. In addition to all other rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred contained herein, simultaneous with the occurrence of an Organic Change, each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of such holder’s shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at a price per share of the Series A Preferred equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Liquidation Preference Amount.
(vi) Adjustments for Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. For a period of twenty-four (24) months following the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Anti-Dilution Period”), in the event the Company shall issue or sell any additional shares of Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through (v) of this Section 5(d) or pursuant to (X) Common Stock Equivalents (as hereafter defined) granted or issued prior to the Issuance Date or (Y) subsection (xi) below) (“Additional Shares of Common Stock”) at a price per share less than the then-applicable Conversion Price or without consideration, then the Conversion Price upon each such issuance shall be reduced to that price (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (A) the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at a price per share equal to the outstanding Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance; and (2) the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately after the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock. No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any conversion or exchange rights in any Common Stock Equivalents, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights or upon the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefore) or upon the issuance of shares in accordance with the Excepted Issuances (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or pursuant to subsection (xi) of this Section 5(d).
9
(vii) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. The provisions of this Section 5(d)(vii) shall apply if the Company during the Anti-Dilution Period, shall (a) issue any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”), other than the Series A Preferred Stock, or (b) issue or sell any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities (collectively, the “Common Stock Equivalents”). If the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable pursuant to any such Convertible Securities or Common Stock Equivalent shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price then in effect, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the applicable Conversion Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be adjusted as provided in subsection (vi) of this Section 5(d). No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of any Common Stock pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent where an adjustment to the Conversion Price was made as a result of the issuance or purchase of such Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent.
(viii) Superseding Adjustment. Upon the expiration of any Common Stock Equivalents, or the right of conversion or exchange in such Common Stock Equivalents granted or issued pursuant to Section 5(d)(vi) or (vii), the Conversion Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such amount as would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon the granting or issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, or the right of conversion or exchange in such Common Stock Equivalents, been made upon the basis of the issuance or sale of only the number of shares of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of such Common Stock Equivalents, or such right of conversion or exchange with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents, subject to any further adjustments pursuant to this Section 5.
(ix) Consideration for Stock. In case any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities other than the Series A Preferred Stock, or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities, shall be issued or sold:
(1) in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefore shall be deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as the Board of Directors may determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, rights or warrants or options, as the case may be; or
10
(2) in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company for stock or other securities of any corporation, the Company shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its Common Stock for stock or securities or other property of the other corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other property of the other corporation. If any such calculation results in adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price, or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the determination of the applicable Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale, shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. In the event any consideration received by the Company for any securities consists of property other than cash, the fair market value thereof at the time of issuance or as otherwise applicable shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. In the event Common Stock is issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section (5)(d)(ix) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(x) Record Date. In case the Company shall take record of the holders of its Common Stock or any other Preferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities, then the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be such record date.
(xi) Certain Issues Excepted. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price, subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, upon (i) securities issued pursuant to a bona fide acquisition of another business entity or business segment of any such entity by the Company pursuant to a merger, purchase of substantially all the assets or any type of reorganization (each an “Acquisition”) provided that (A) the Company will own more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of such business entity or business segment of such entity and (B) such Acquisition is approved by the Board of Directors; (ii) securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement or issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (so long as the terms governing the conversion or exercise price in such securities are not amended to lower such price and/or adversely affect the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock); (iii) securities issued in connection with bona fide strategic license agreements or other partnering arrangements with an independent third party in a similar business as the Company and approved by the Board of Directors so long as such issuances are not for the primary purpose of raising capital; (iv) Common Stock issued or the issuance or grants of options to purchase Common Stock, in each case, at no less than the then-applicable fair market value, pursuant to equity incentive plans that are adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors; (v) securities issued to any placement agent and its respective designees for the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement; (vi) securities issued at no less than the then-applicable fair market value to advisors or consultants (including, without limitation, financial advisors and investor relations firms) in connection with any engagement letter or consulting agreement, provided that any such issuance is approved by the Board of Directors; (vii) securities issued to financial institutions or lessors in connection with reasonable commercial credit arrangements, equipment financings or similar transactions, provided that any such issue is approved by the Board of Directors; (viii) securities issued to vendors or customers or to other persons in similar commercial situations as the Company, provided that any such issue is approved by the Board of Directors; and (ix) securities issued in connection with any recapitalization.
11
(e) No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 5 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock against impairment. In the event a holder shall elect to convert any shares of Series A Preferred Stock as provided herein, the Company cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless (i) the Company receives an order from the Securities and Exchange Commission prohibiting such conversion or (ii) an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and/or adjoining conversion of all or of said shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been issued and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such holder in an amount equal to 100% of the Series A Liquidation Preference Amount of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock such holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such holder in the event it obtains judgment.
(f) Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request of the holder of such affected Series A Preferred Stock, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments, the Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of such Series A Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of at least one percent of such adjusted amount; if the Company so postpones delivering a certificate, such prior adjustment shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 5 and not previously made, would result in an adjustment of one percent or more.
(g) Issue Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by any holder in connection with any such conversion.
(h) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally or by facsimile or three (3) business days following being mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return-receipt requested, addressed to the holder of record at its address appearing on the books of the Company. The Company shall give written notice to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (I) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (II) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (III) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change or Liquidation, and in no event shall such notice be provided to such holder prior to such information being made known to the public. The Company shall also give written notice to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which any Organic Change or Liquidation will take place, and in no event shall such notice be provided to such holder prior to such information being made known to the public
12
(i) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall round the number of shares to be issued upon conversion up to the nearest whole number of shares.
(j) Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Series A Preferred Stock and any increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock based on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each holder of record at the time of issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be. In the event a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and which remain allocated to any person or entity which does not hold any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Series A Preferred Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then held by such holder.
(k) Retirement of Series A Preferred Stock. Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been effected on the Conversion Date. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered for conversion, the Company shall issue and deliver to such holder, at the expense of the Company, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered as required by Section 5(b)(ii).
(l) Regulatory Compliance. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of Series A Preferred Stock require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.
6. No Preemptive Rights. No holder of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to rights to subscribe for, purchase or receive any part of any new or additional shares of any class, whether now or hereinafter authorized, or of bonds or debentures, or other evidences of indebtedness convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any class, but all such new or additional shares of any class, or any bond, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness convertible into or exchangeable for shares, may be issued and disposed of by the Board of Directors on such terms and for such consideration (to the extent permitted by law), and to such person or persons as the Board of Directors in their absolute discretion may deem advisable.
7. Conversion Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5 of this Certificate of Designation, at no time may a holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock convert shares of the Series A Preferred Stock if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would cause the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates at such time, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates at such time, result in such holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time (the “Maximum Amount”); provided, however, that upon a holder of Series A Preferred Stock providing the Company with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 5(h) hereof) (the “Waiver Notice”) that such holder would like to waive Section 7 of this Certificate of Designation with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, this Section 7 shall be of no force or effect with regard to those shares of Series A Preferred Stock referenced in the Waiver Notice.
13
8. Inability to Fully Convert.
(a) Holder’s Option if Company Cannot Fully Convert. If, upon the Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company cannot issue shares of Common Stock registered for resale under the Registration Statement for any reason, including, without limitation, because the Company (x) does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available, (y) is otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Company or its securities from issuing all of the Common Stock which is to be issued to a holder of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to a Conversion Notice or (z) subsequent to the effective date of the Registration Statement, fails to have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock registered for resale under the Registration Statement, then the Company shall issue as many shares of Common Stock as it is able to issue in accordance with such holder's Conversion Notice and pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) above and, with respect to the unconverted Series A Preferred Stock, the holder, solely at such holder’s option, can elect, within five (5) business days after receipt of notice from the Company thereof to:
(i) require the Company to redeem from such holder those Series A Preferred Stock for which the Company is unable to issue Common Stock in accordance with such holder's Conversion Notice (“Mandatory Redemption”) at a price per share equal the Series A Liquidation Preference Amount (“Mandatory Redemption Price”); provided that the Company shall have the sole option to pay the Mandatory Redemption Price in cash or, subject to Section 7 hereof, shares of Common Stock;
(ii) if the Company’s inability to fully convert Series A Preferred Stock is pursuant to Section 8(a)(z) above, require the Company to issue restricted shares of Common Stock in accordance with such holder’s Conversion Notice and pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) above;
(iii) void its Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were to be converted pursuant to such holder’s Conversion Notice (provided that a holder’s voiding its Conversion Notice shall not effect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice); or
(iv) if the Company’s inability to convert results in a Buy-In, exercise its Buy-In rights pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 5(b)(vi) hereof.
(b) Mechanics of Fulfilling Holder’s Election. The Company shall immediately send via facsimile to a holder of Series A Preferred Stock, upon receipt of an original or facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice from such holder which cannot be fully satisfied as described in Section 8(a) above, a notice of the Company's inability to fully satisfy such holder's Conversion Notice (the “Inability to Fully Convert Notice”). Such Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason why the Company is unable to fully satisfy such holder's Conversion Notice, (ii) the number of Series A Preferred Stock which cannot be converted and (iii) the applicable Mandatory Redemption Price. Such holder shall notify the Company of its election pursuant to Section 8(a) above by delivering written notice via facsimile to the Company (“Notice in Response to Inability to Convert”).
14
(c) Payment of Redemption Price. If such holder shall elect to have its shares redeemed pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) above, the Company shall pay the Mandatory Redemption Price to such holder within thirty (30) days of the Company’s receipt of the holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert, provided that prior to the Company's receipt of the holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert, the Company has not delivered a notice to such holder stating, to the satisfaction of the holder, that the event or condition resulting in the Mandatory Redemption has been cured and all Conversion Shares issuable to such holder can and will be delivered to the holder in accordance with the terms of Section 5(b)(ii). Until the full Mandatory Redemption Price is paid in full to such holder, such holder may (i) void the Mandatory Redemption with respect to those Series A Preferred Stock for which the full Mandatory Redemption Price has not been paid, (ii) receive back such Series A Preferred Stock, and (iii) require that the Conversion Price of such returned Series A Preferred Stock be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price and (B) the lowest Closing Bid Price during the period beginning on the Conversion Date and ending on the date the holder voided the Mandatory Redemption.
(d) Pro-rata Conversion and Redemption. In the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Series A Preferred Stock on the same day and the Company can convert and redeem some, but not all, of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8, the Company shall convert and redeem from each holder of Series A Preferred Stock electing to have Series A Preferred Stock converted and redeemed at such time an amount equal to such holder's pro-rata amount (based on the number shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder relative to the number shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding) of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted and redeemed at such time.
9. Vote to Change the Terms of or Issue Preferred Stock. The affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting, of the Majority Holders (in addition to any other corporate approvals then required to effect such action), shall be required for any change to this Certificate of Designation or the Company's Articles of Incorporation which would amend, alter, change or repeal any of the powers, designations, preferences and rights of the Series A Preferred Stock.
10. Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Preferred Stock Certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the holder to the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver new preferred stock certificate(s) of like tenor and date; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to re-issue Preferred Stock Certificates if the holder contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock.
11. Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designation shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designation, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit a holder's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
15
12. Specific Shall Not Limit General; Construction. No specific provision contained in this Certificate of Designation shall limit or modify any more general provision contained herein. This Certificate of Designation shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all initial purchasers of the Series A Preferred Stock and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof.
13. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a holder of Series A Preferred Stock in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.
