CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF THE
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK OF
NOVADEL PHARMA INC.

          I, Steve Ratoff, hereby certify that I am the President and Chief Executive Officer of NovaDel Pharma Inc. (the “Company”), a corporation organized and existing under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), and further do hereby certify:

          That pursuant to the authority expressly conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), the Board on February 10, 2011 adopted the following resolutions creating a series of 2,000 shares of Preferred Stock designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, none of which shares have been issued:

          RESOLVED, that the Board designates the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting such series, and fixes the rights, powers, preferences, privileges and restrictions relating to such series in addition to any set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation as follows:

TERMS OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

                    1. Designation and Number of Shares. There shall hereby be created and established a series of preferred stock of the Company designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred stock shall be 2,000 shares. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.001.

                    2. Ranking. Except to the extent that the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Required Holders”) expressly consent to the creation of Parity Stock (as defined below) or Senior Preferred Stock (as defined below) in accordance with Section 14, all shares of capital stock of the Company (including, without limitation, Common Stock) shall be junior in rank to all shares of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (such junior stock is referred to herein collectively as “Junior Stock”). The rights of all such shares of capital stock of the Company shall be subject to the rights, powers, preferences and privileges of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Without limiting any other provision of this Certificate of Designations, without the prior express consent of the Required Holders, voting separate as a single class, the Company shall not hereafter authorize or issue any additional or other shares of capital stock that is (i) of senior rank to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (collectively, the “Senior Preferred Stock”), (ii) of pari passu rank to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (collectively, the “Parity Stock”) or (iii) any Junior Stock having a maturity date (or any other date requiring redemption or


repayment of such shares of Junior Stock) that is prior to the date on which no shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding. In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall maintain their relative rights, powers, designations, privileges and preferences provided for herein and no such merger or consolidation shall result inconsistent therewith.

                    3. Dividends. From and after the first date of issuance of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Initial Issuance Date”), each holder of a share of Series A Preferred Stock (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) shall be entitled to receive dividends (“Dividends”) per share equal to any dividends declared, set apart for or paid upon any Junior Stock or Parity Stock. “Stated Value” shall mean $1,000 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassifications, combinations, subdivisions or other similar events occurring after the Initial Issuance Date with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock.

                    4. Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.

 

 

 

          (a) Holder’s Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(e), at any time or times on or after the Initial Issuance Date, each Holder shall be entitled to convert any whole number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 4(c) at the Conversion Rate (as defined below).

 

 

 

          (b) Conversion Rate. The number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be determined according to the following formula (the “Conversion Rate”):

Conversion Amount
Conversion Price

 

 

 

          No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share.

 

 

 

          (c) Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be conducted in the following manner:


 

 

 

 

 

          (i) Holder’s Conversion. To convert a share of Series A Preferred Stock into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), a Holder shall deliver (whether via facsimile or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion of the share(s) of Series A Preferred Stock subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company. If required by Section 4(c)(vi), within

2



 

 

 

 

 

five (5) Trading Days following a conversion of any such Series A Preferred Stock as aforesaid, such Holder shall surrender to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company the original certificates representing the share(s) of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Share Certificates”) so converted as aforesaid.

 

 

 

 

 

          (ii) Company’s Response. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice, the Company shall (1) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled to such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in such Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of such Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled. If the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by the Preferred Share Certificate(s) submitted for conversion pursuant to Section 4(c)(vi) is greater than the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted, then the Company shall if requested by such Holder, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after receipt of the Preferred Share Certificate(s) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a new Preferred Share Certificate representing the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock not converted.

 

 

 

 

 

          (iii) Record Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

 

 

 

 

 

          (iv) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to issue to a Holder within three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice (whether via facsimile or otherwise), a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to credit such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock (as the case may be) (a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, such Holder, upon written notice to the

Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned (as the case may be) any shares of Series A Preferred Stock that have not been converted pursuant to such Holder’s Conversion Notice, provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if within three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice (whether via facsimile or otherwise), the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to such Holder and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or credit such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be), and if on or after such third (3rd) Trading Day such Holder (or any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of such Holder) purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon such conversion that such Holder so anticipated receiving from the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after such Holder’s request and in such Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to such Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of such Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to such Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (ii). Immediately following the voiding of a Conversion Notice as aforesaid, the Conversion Price of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock returned or retained by such Holder for failure to timely convert shall be adjusted to the lesser of (I) the Conversion Price relating to the voided Conversion Notice and (II) the lowest Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on the Conversion Date and ending on the date such Holder voided the Conversion Notice, subject to further adjustment as provided in this Certificate of Designations.

          (v) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock submitted for conversion, the Company shall convert from each Holder electing to have shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted on such date a pro rata amount of such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock submitted for conversion on such date based on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company shall issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 23.

 

 

 

 

 

          (vi) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4, upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof, no Holder thereof shall be required to physically surrender the certificate representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Company following conversion thereof unless (A) the full or remaining number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by the certificate are being converted (in which event such certificate(s) shall be delivered to the Company as contemplated by this Section 4(c)(vi)) or (B) such Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock upon physical surrender of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Each Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted by such Holder and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of the certificate representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of such Holder establishing the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. A Holder and any transferee or assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by such certificate may be less than the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock stated on the face thereof. Each certificate for shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall bear the following legend:


 

 

 

 

ANY TRANSFEREE OR ASSIGNEE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE CORPORATION’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES A PREFERRED

 

5



 

 

 

 

STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 4(c)(vi) THEREOF. THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 4(c)(vi) OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.

 


 

 

 

          (d) Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp, transfer (but only in respect of the registered holder thereof), issuance and other similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

 

 

          (e) Limitation on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate of Designations, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by a Holder shall not be convertible by such Holder, and the Company shall not effect any conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 6 hereof), to the extent (but only to the extent) that such Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder shall be convertible (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned by such Holder and its affiliates) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability of a Holder to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or of the Company to issue shares of Common Stock to such Holder, pursuant to this Section 4(e) shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 4(e) with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility or issuance (as the case may be). For purposes of this Section 4(e), beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this Section 4(e) shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(e) to correct this Section 4(e) (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 4(e) shall apply to a successor holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 4(e) and the Company

6



 

 

 

may not waive this Section 4(e) without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Certificate of Designations or securities issued pursuant to the other Transaction Documents.

          5. Redemption at Option of Holders.

 

 

 

          (a) Triggering Event. A “Triggering Event” shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following events:


 

 

 

 

 

          (i) any of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not freely tradable without restriction by any of the Holders;

 

 

 

 

 

          (ii) the suspension from trading or failure of the Common Stock to be trading or listed (as applicable) on an Eligible Market for a period of five (5) consecutive days or for more than an aggregate of ten (10) days in any 365-day period;

 

 

 

 

 

          (iii) the Company’s (A) failure to cure any Conversion Failure by delivery of the required number of shares of Common Stock within five (5) Trading Days after the applicable Conversion Date or (B) notice, written or oral, to any Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, by way of public announcement or through any of its agents, at any time, of its intention not to comply, as required, with a request for conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock that is requested in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations;

 

 

 

 

 

          (iv) at any time following the tenth (10th) consecutive day that there is less than 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder would be entitled to receive upon a conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in Section 4(e) or otherwise) at the Conversion Price then in effect;

 

 

 

 

 

          (v) the Company’s failure to pay to any Holder any amount when and as due under this Certificate of Designations (including, without limitation, the Company’s failure to pay any Dividends, redemption payments or amounts hereunder), and any such failure continues uncured for at least one (1) day;

 

 

 

 

 

          (vi) any restrictive or other legend (other than the legend expressly required by Section 4(c)(vi)) is placed on any certificate representing any of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or upon exercise of the Warrants;

 

 

 

 

 

          (vii) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings

7

          (viii) the commencement by the Company or any Subsidiary of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree, order, judgment or other similar document in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal, state or foreign law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or any Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the execution of a composition of debts, or the occurrence of any other similar federal, state or foreign proceeding, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, the taking of corporate action by the Company or any Subsidiary in furtherance of any such action or the taking of any action by any Person to commence a UCC foreclosure sale or any other similar action under federal, state or foreign law;

 

 

 

 

 

          (ix) the entry by a court of (i) a decree, order, judgment or other similar document in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary of a voluntary or involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (ii) a decree, order, judgment or other similar document adjudging the Company or any Subsidiary as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary under any applicable federal, state or foreign law or (iii) a decree, order, judgment or other similar document appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or any Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree, order, judgment or other similar document or any such other decree, order, judgment or other similar document unstayed and in effect for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days;

8



 

 

 

 

 

          (xi) other than as specifically set forth in another clause of this Section 5(a), the Company breaches in any material respect any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction Document, except, in the case of a breach of a covenant or other term or condition that is curable, only if such breach remains uncured for a period of three (3) days.

 

 

 

 

          (b) Notice of Triggering Event; Redemption Option Upon Triggering Event. Within one (1) Business Day after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (with next day delivery specified) (“Notice of Triggering Event”) to each Holder. At any time after the earlier of a Holder’s receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event and such Holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event, such Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to redeem up to all of such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (with next day delivery specified) (“Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder”) to the Company, which Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder shall indicate the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that such Holder is electing to redeem. In addition to all other rights of such Holder contained herein, each share of Series A Preferred Stock subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (i) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount thereof multiplied by (B) the Triggering Event Redemption Premium and (ii) the product of (X) the Conversion Rate then in effect with respect to the Conversion Amount thereof multiplied by (Y) the product of (1) the Equity Value Redemption Premium multiplied by (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such Triggering Event and ending on the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made under this Section 5(b) (the “Triggering Event Redemption Price”).

 

 

 

 

          (c) Payment of Redemption Price. Upon the Company’s receipt of the first Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder from any Holder, the Company shall immediately notify each other Holder by facsimile of the Company’s receipt of such notice. The Company shall deliver on the second (2nd) Business Day after the Company’s receipt of the first Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price to all Holders that deliver a Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder prior to the second (2nd) Business Day after the Company’s receipt of the first Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder. The Company shall deliver on the first (1st) Business Day after the Company’s receipt of a Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price to a Holder who delivers a Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder at any time on or following the second (2nd) Business Day after the Company’s receipt of the first Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. If the Company is unable to redeem all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock submitted for redemption, the Company shall (i) redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder based on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock submitted for redemption by such

9



 

 

 

Holder relative to the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock submitted for redemption by all Holders and (ii) in addition to any remedy any Holder may have under this Certificate of Designations and/or any of the other Transaction Documents, pay to each Holder interest at the rate of 2% per month (prorated for partial months) in respect of each unredeemed share of Series A Preferred Stock until paid in full. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock under this Section 5, a Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for such Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 5 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of such Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

 

 

 

          (d) Void Redemption. In the event that the Company does not pay to a Holder the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price within the time period set forth in Section 5(c) for any reason (including, without limitation, as a result of (i) a failure of the Company to have surplus under Section 154 of the DGCL, (ii) the capital of the Company being impaired under Section 160 of the DGCL, (iii) such payment causing any impairment of capital of the Company under Section 160 of the DGCL or (iv) a failure of the Company to have legally available funds to make such payment), at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price in full, such Holder shall have the option to, in lieu of redemption, require the Company to promptly return to such Holder any or all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were submitted for redemption by such Holder under this Section 5 and for which the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Company (whether via facsimile or otherwise) (the “Void Optional Redemption Notice”). Upon the Company’s receipt of such Holder’s Void Optional Redemption Notice, (i) such Holder’s Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder shall be null and void with respect to those shares of Series A Preferred Stock subject to such Void Optional Redemption Notice, (ii) the Company shall immediately return to such Holder any shares of Series A Preferred Stock subject to such Void Optional Redemption Notice and (iii) the Conversion Price with respect to each conversion effected thereafter by each Holder shall be equal to the lowest of (A) the Conversion Price in effect on the applicable Conversion Date, (B) the Conversion Price in effect on the date of the first Void Optional Redemption Notice, (C) 75% of the lowest Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on and including the date the first Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder is delivered to the Company and ending on and including the date on the first Void Optional Redemption Notice and (D) 75% of the VWAP of the Common Stock for the five (5) Trading Day period immediately preceding the Conversion Date of the applicable conversion.

 

 

 

          (e) Disputes; Miscellaneous. In the event of a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation of the Triggering Event Redemption Price, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 23 with the term “Triggering Event Redemption Price” being substituted for the term “Conversion Price.” A Holder’s delivery of a Void Optional Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not

10



 

 

 

effect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice. In the event of a redemption pursuant to this Section 5 of less than all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by a particular Preferred Share Certificate, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to such Holder of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock a Preferred Share Certificate representing the remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock which have not been redeemed, if necessary.

                    6. Automatic Conversion or Company Redemption.

 

 

 

          (a) General. On each applicable Automatic Conversion Date, each Holder’s Automatic Conversion Amount applicable to such Automatic Conversion Date shall be automatically converted in accordance with this Section 6 into shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (an “Automatic Conversion”), provided that the Company may, at its option as described below, in lieu of such Automatic Conversion redeem such Holder’s Automatic Conversion Amount in cash (a “Company Redemption”) subject to the provisions of this Section 6, provided further that, unless waived by the Required Holders, an Automatic Conversion shall not occur with respect to such Holder’s Automatic Conversion Amount and the Company shall instead be required to elect and to redeem such Holder’s entire Automatic Conversion Amount in cash pursuant to a Company Redemption if on the applicable Automatic Conversion Notice Due Date or on the applicable Automatic Conversion Date (as the case may be) there is an Equity Conditions Failure. On or prior to the date which is the twenty-third (23rd) Trading Day prior to each Automatic Conversion Date (each, an “Automatic Conversion Notice Due Date”), the Company shall deliver written notice (each, an “Automatic Conversion Notice” and the date all of the Holders receive such notice is referred to as to the “Automatic Conversion Notice Date”), to each Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and such Automatic Conversion Notice shall (i) either (A) confirm that such Holder’s Automatic Conversion Amount shall be automatically converted in whole pursuant to an Automatic Conversion or (B) state that the Company elects to redeem, or is required to elect and redeem in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations, such Holder’s Automatic Conversion Amount pursuant to a Company Redemption and (ii) if such Holder’s Automatic Conversion Amount is to be converted pursuant to an Automatic Conversion, certify that there is not an Equity Conditions Failure as of the date of the Automatic Conversion Notice. Each Automatic Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable by the Company and may not be revoked by the Company. If the Company does not timely deliver an Automatic Conversion Notice in accordance with this Section 6(a) with respect to a particular Automatic Conversion Date, then the Company shall be deemed to have delivered an irrevocable Automatic Conversion Notice confirming an Automatic Conversion and shall be deemed to have certified that there is not an Equity Conditions Failure on the applicable Automatic Conversion Notice Due Date and the applicable Automatic Conversion Date. No later than two (2) Trading Days after delivery or deemed delivery (as applicable) of the applicable Automatic Conversion Notice confirming an Automatic Conversion, the Company shall deliver to such Holder’s account with DTC such number of shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Automatic Conversion Shares”) equal to the quotient of (x) the aggregate Conversion Amount of such Holder’s Automatic Conversion Amount

11



 

 

 

divided by (y) the Pre-Automatic Conversion Price, and as to which such Holder shall be the owner thereof as of such time of delivery or deemed delivery (as the case may be) of such Automatic Conversion Notice. If the Company elects a Company Redemption with respect to any Holder for an Automatic Conversion Date, then the Company must elect a Company Redemption with respect to all Holders for such Automatic Conversion Date. An Automatic Conversion (whether set forth in the Automatic Conversion Notice or by operation of this Section 6(a)) shall be converted in accordance with Section 6(b) and a Company Redemption shall be redeemed in accordance with Section 6(c).

 

 

 

          (b) Mechanics of Automatic Conversion. Subject to Section 6(a), if the Company delivers an Automatic Conversion Notice and confirms, or is deemed to have delivered an Automatic Conversion Notice and is deemed to have confirmed, an Automatic Conversion in accordance with Section 6(a), then the remainder of this Section 6(b) shall apply. With respect to each Holder, the aggregate Conversion Amount of such Holder’s Automatic Conversion Amount shall be automatically converted as of the applicable Automatic Conversion Date on such Automatic Conversion Date at the Automatic Conversion Price, and the Company shall, on the applicable Automatic Conversion Date, deliver to such Holder’s account with DTC such shares of Common Stock issued upon such Automatic Conversion (subject to the reduction contemplated by the immediately following sentence and, if applicable, the last sentence of this Section 6(b)), provided that there is no Equity Conditions Failure as of such Automatic Conversion Date and an Automatic Conversion is not otherwise prohibited under any other provision of this Certificate of Designations. The number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon such Automatic Conversion shall be reduced by the amount of any Pre-Automatic Conversion Shares delivered to such Holder in connection with such Automatic Conversion Date. If a Triggering Event occurs during any applicable Automatic Conversion Measuring Period, then either (i) such Holder shall return any Pre-Automatic Conversion Shares delivered in connection with the applicable Automatic Conversion Date or (ii) the Conversion Amount used to calculate the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price shall be reduced by the product of (x) the aggregate Conversion Amount of such Holder’s Automatic Conversion Amount with respect to such Automatic Conversion Date multiplied by (y) the Conversion Share Ratio. If there is an Equity Conditions Failure as of such Automatic Conversion Date or an Automatic Conversion is not otherwise permitted under any other provision of this Certificate of Designations, then, at the option of such Holder designated in writing to the Company, such Holder may require the Company to do any one or more of the following: (i) the Company shall redeem all or any part designated by such Holder of such Holder’s unconverted Automatic Conversion Amount (such designated amount is referred to as the “Designated Redemption Amount”) and the Company shall pay to such Holder within three (3) days of such Automatic Conversion Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to 135% of such Designated Redemption Amount, and/or (ii) the applicable Automatic Conversion shall be null and void with respect to all or any part designated by such Holder of such Holder’s unconverted Automatic Conversion Amount and such Holder shall be entitled to all the rights of a holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to such designated portion of such Holder’s Automatic Conversion Amount; provided, however, the Conversion Price for such designated part of such unconverted Automatic Conversion Amount shall

12



 

 

 

thereafter be adjusted to equal the lesser of (A) the Automatic Conversion Price in effect on the date on which such Holder voided such Automatic Conversion and (B) the Automatic Conversion Price that would be in effect on the date on which such Holder delivers a Conversion Notice relating thereto as if such date was an Automatic Conversion Date. In addition, if there is an Equity Conditions Failure as of such Automatic Conversion Date or an Automatic Conversion is not otherwise permitted under any other provision of this Certificate of Designations, then, at such Holder’s option, either (I) such Holder shall return any Pre-Automatic Conversion Shares delivered in connection with the applicable Automatic Conversion Date or (II) the applicable Designated Redemption Amount shall be reduced by the product of (X) the Automatic Conversion Amount applicable to such Automatic Conversion Date multiplied by (Y) the Conversion Share Ratio. If the Company fails to redeem any Designated Redemption Amount by the third (3rd) day following the applicable Automatic Conversion Date by payment of such amount on the applicable Automatic Conversion Date for any reason (including, without limitation, as a result of (i) a failure of the Company to have surplus under Section 154 of the DGCL, (ii) the capital of the Company being impaired under Section 160 of the DGCL, (iii) such payment causing any impairment of capital of the Company under Section 160 of the DGCL or (iv) a failure of the Company to have legally available funds to make such payment), then such Holder shall have the rights set forth in Section 6(d) as if the Company failed to pay the applicable Company Redemption Price and all other rights under this Certificate of Designations (including, without limitation, such failure constituting a Triggering Event). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6(b), but subject to 4(e), until the Company delivers Common Stock representing all of such Holder’s Automatic Conversion Amount to such Holder pursuant to an Automatic Conversion, such Holder’s Automatic Conversion Amount may be converted by such Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 4. In the event that a Holder elects to convert such Holder’s Automatic Conversion Amount prior to the applicable Automatic Conversion Date as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Automatic Conversion Amount so converted shall be deducted from the Automatic Conversion Amount(s) relating to the applicable Automatic Conversion Date(s) as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice. If, with respect to an Automatic Conversion Date, the number of Pre-Automatic Conversion Shares delivered to a Holder exceeds the number of Post-Automatic Conversion Shares with respect to such Automatic Conversion Date, then the number of shares of Common Stock equal to such excess shall constitute a credit against the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such Holder pursuant to Sections 4 and 6(b) hereof and shall reduce the number of shares of Common Stock required to be actually issued by the Company to such Holder under such sections on a share-for-share basis until such time as the number of shares that would have been issued by the Company to such Holder (not taking account of such credit) equals the amount of such excess.

 

 

 

          (c) Mechanics of Company Redemption. If the Company elects, or is required to elect, a Company Redemption in accordance with Section 6(a), then each Holder’s Automatic Conversion Amount shall be redeemed by the Company on the applicable Automatic Conversion Date for, and the Company shall pay to each such Holder on such Automatic Conversion Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to 115% of the aggregate Conversion Amount of such Holder’s Automatic

13



 

 

 

Conversion Amount (the “Company Redemption Price”). If the Company fails to redeem a Holder’s Automatic Conversion Amount on the applicable Automatic Conversion Date by payment of the Company Redemption Price on such date for any reason (including, without limitation, as a result of (i) a failure of the Company to have surplus under Section 154 of the DGCL, (ii) the capital of the Company being impaired under Section 160 of the DGCL, (iii) such payment causing any impairment of capital of the Company under Section 160 of the DGCL or (iv) a failure of the Company to have legally available funds to make such payment), then, at the option of such Holder designated in writing to the Company (any such designation shall be a “Conversion Notice” for purposes of this Certificate of Designations), such Holder may require the Company to convert all or any part of such Holder’s Automatic Conversion Amount at the Automatic Conversion Price (determined as of the date of such designation as if such date were an Automatic Conversion Date). Conversions required by this Section 6(c) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6(c), but subject to Section 4(e), until the Company Redemption Price is paid in full, such Holder’s Automatic Conversion Amount may be converted, in whole or in part, by such Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 4. In the event that a Holder elects to convert such Holder’s Automatic Conversion Amount prior to the applicable Automatic Conversion Date as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Automatic Conversion Amount so converted shall be deducted from the Automatic Conversion Amount(s) relating to the applicable Automatic Conversion Date(s) as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice.

 

 

 

          (d) Miscellaneous. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 6 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock under this Section 6, a Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for such Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 6 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of such Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. In the event that the Company does not effect a Company Redemption for any reason (including, without limitation, as a result of (i) a failure of the Company to have surplus under Section 154 of the DGCL, (ii) the capital of the Company being impaired under Section 160 of the DGCL, (iii) such payment causing any impairment of capital of the Company under Section 160 of the DGCL or (iv) a failure of the Company to have legally available funds to make such payment) or an Automatic Conversion (as the case may be) on the applicable Automatic Conversion Date, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to such Holder, such Holder shall have the right to void the conversion or redemption (as the case may be) pursuant to Section 5(d) with the term “Automatic Conversion Amount” being substituted for “Triggering Event Redemption Price” and “Automatic Conversion Notice” being substituted for “Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder,” shall have all rights of a Holder under Section 5(d) and Section 5(e) as if they were part of this Section 6 and applied to this Section 6 and the Company shall pay to such Holder interest at the rate of 2% per month (prorated for partial months) in respect of the aggregate Conversion

14



 

 

 

Amount of such Holder’s Automatic Conversion Amount until converted or redeemed (as the case may be) in full. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6 to the contrary, if (I) the Company does not have surplus under Section 154 of the DGCL, (II) the capital of the Company is impaired under Section 160 of the DGCL, (III) a Company Redemption would cause any impairment of capital of the Company under Section 160 of the DGCL or (IV) the Company does not have legally available funds to effect a Company Redemption, then the Company shall not be entitled to elect or effect a Company Redemption in lieu of an Automatic Conversion, and if the Company cannot otherwise effect an Automatic Conversion on the applicable Automatic Conversion Date in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6, then the provisions of Section 5 shall apply as foresaid.

                    7. Rights Upon Fundamental Transactions.

 

 

 

          (a) Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for such shares of Series A Preferred Stock a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Certificate of Designations, including, without limitation, having a stated value and dividend rate equal to the stated value and dividend rate of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the Holders and having similar ranking to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose shares of common stock are quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein and therein. In addition to the foregoing, upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to each Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 8(a) and 13, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the conversion or redemption of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which each Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each Holder been converted

15



 

 

 

immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock contained in this Certificate of Designations), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations. The provisions of this Section 8 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

 

 

          (b) Fundamental Transaction Redemption Right. No sooner than twenty (20) Trading Days nor later than ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to each Holder (a “Fundamental Transaction Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after a Holder’s receipt of a Fundamental Transaction Notice or such Holder becoming aware of a Fundamental Transaction if a Fundamental Transaction Notice is not delivered to such Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence (as applicable) and ending on the later of twenty (20) Trading Days after (A) consummation of such Fundamental Transaction or (B) the date of receipt of such Fundamental Transaction Notice, such Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock by delivering written notice thereof (“Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice shall indicate the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock such Holder is electing to have the Company redeem. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Premium multiplied by the Conversion Amount thereof, (ii) the product of (X) the Conversion Rate then in effect with respect to the Conversion Amount thereof multiplied by (Y) the product of (1) the Equity Value Redemption Premium multiplied by (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such Fundamental Transaction and ending on the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made under this Section 7(b) and (iii) the product of (x) the Equity Value Redemption Premium and (y) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount thereof multiplied by (B) the quotient determined by dividing (I) the aggregate cash consideration and the aggregate cash value of any non-cash consideration per share of Common Stock to be paid to the holders of the shares of Common Stock upon consummation of such Fundamental Transaction (any such non-cash consideration constituting publicly-traded securities shall be valued at the highest of the Closing Sale Price of such securities as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the Closing Sale Price of such securities on the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of such proposed Fundamental Transaction and the Closing Sale Price of such securities on the Trading Day immediately prior to the public announcement of such proposed Fundamental Transaction) by (II) the Conversion Price then in effect (the “Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 7(b) shall have priority to payments to all other stockholders of the Company in connection with such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 7(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the shares of Series

16



 

 

 

A Preferred Stock by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7(b), but subject to Section 4(e), until the applicable Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price is paid in full to the applicable Holder, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock submitted by such Holder for redemption under this Section 7(b) may be converted, in whole or in part, by such Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, stock or equity interests of the Successor Entity substantially equivalent to the Company’s shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock under this Section 7(b), such Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for a Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 7(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of such Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. The Company shall make payment of the applicable Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price concurrently with the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction if a Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice is received prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction and within two (2) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise (the “Fundamental Transaction Redemption Date”). In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price on the applicable Fundamental Transaction Redemption Date to the applicable Holder for any reason (including, without limitation, as a result of (i) a failure of the Company to have surplus under Section 154 of the DGCL, (ii) the capital of the Company being impaired under Section 160 of the DGCL, (iii) such payment causing any impairment of capital of the Company under Section 160 of the DGCL or (iv) a failure of the Company to have legally available funds to make such payment), then, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to a Holder, such Holder shall have the right to void the redemption pursuant to Section 5(d) with the term “Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price” being substituted for “Triggering Event Redemption Price” and “Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice” being substituted for “Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder,” shall have all rights of a Holder under Section 5(d) and Section 5(e) as if they were part of this Section 7(b) and applied to this Section 7(b) and the Company shall pay to such Holder interest at the rate of 2% per month (prorated for partial months) in respect of such Holder’s applicable Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price until paid in full.

          8. Rights Upon Issuance of Purchase Rights and Other Corporate Events.

 

 

 

          (a) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 9 below, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then each Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (without taking into account any limitations or

17



 

 

 

restrictions on the convertibility of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock) held by such Holder immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that such Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for such Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).

 

 

 

          (b) Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that each Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which such Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by such Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Series A Preferred Stock contained in this Certificate of Designations) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as such Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. The provisions of this Section 8 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock contained in this Certificate of Designations.

 

 

 

9. Rights Upon Issuance of Other Securities.

 

 

 

          (a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Subscription Date the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 9(a) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Excluded Securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Conversion Price then in effect is referred to herein as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then, immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an

18



 

 

 

amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Conversion Price and consideration per share under this Section 9(a)), the following shall be applicable:


 

 

 

 

 

          (i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 9(a)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

 

 

 

 

          (ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 9(a)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Convertible Security for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon

19



 

 

 

 

 

conversion, exercise or exchange thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 9(a), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

 

 

 

 

 

          (iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate (as the case may be) at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 9(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Subscription Date are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 9(a) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.

 

 

 

 

 

          (iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Option or Convertible Security is issued or deemed issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable) will be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the Black Scholes Consideration Value thereof and (y) the other securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company minus (II) the Black Scholes Consideration Value of each such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable). If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of

20



 

 

 

 

 

such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the average VWAP of such security for the five (5) Trading Day period immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities (as the case may be). The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

 

 

 

 

 

          (v) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will 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 the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).

 

 

 

 

          (b) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. Without limiting any provision of Section 7 or Section 9(a), if the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any provision of Section 7 or Section 9(a), if the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 9(b) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 9(b) occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

21



 

 

 

          (c) Other Events. In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect any Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 9 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Board shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of such Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 9(c) will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 9, provided further that if such Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then the Board and such Holder shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding and whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company.

 

 

 

10. Authorized Shares.

 

 

 

          (a) Reservation. The Company shall initially reserve out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount of each share of Series A Preferred Stock as of the Initial Issuance Date. So long as any of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock so available be less than the number of shares required to be reserved by the previous sentence (without regard to any limitations on conversions contained in this Certificate of Designations) (the “Required Amount”). The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each Holder on the Initial Issuance Date or increase in the number of reserved shares (as the case may be) (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). 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 such Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then held by such Holders.

 

 

 

          (b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 10(a) and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to have available for issuance upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at least a number of shares of

22



 

 

 

Common Stock equal to the Required Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve and have available the Required Amount for all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its Board to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.

          11. Voting Rights. Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights, except as required by law (including without limitation, the DGCL) and as expressly provided in this Certificate of Designations. To the extent that under the DGCL the vote of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class or series as applicable, is required to authorize a given action of the Company, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of all of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting together in the aggregate and not in separate series unless required under the DGCL, represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is presented or by written consent of all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (except as otherwise may be required under the DGCL), voting together in the aggregate and not in separate series unless required under the DGCL, shall constitute the approval of such action by both the class or the series, as applicable. Subject to Section 4(e), to the extent that under the DGCL holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on a matter with holders of shares of Common Stock, voting together as one class, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast that number of votes per share as is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which it is then convertible (subject to the ownership limitations specified in Section 4(e) hereof) using the record date for determining the stockholders of the Company eligible to vote on such matters as the date as of which the Conversion Price is calculated. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to written notice of all stockholder meetings or written consents (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to stockholders) with respect to which they would be entitled by vote, which notice would be provided pursuant to the Company’s bylaws and the DGCL).

          12. Liquidation, Dissolution, Winding-Up. Without limiting any other provision of this Certificate of Designations, upon any Liquidation Event, each of the Holders shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its stockholders (the “Liquidation Funds”), after and subject to the payment in full of all amounts required to be distributed to the holders of any Senior Preferred Stock upon such Liquidation Event, but before any payment shall be made to the holders of Junior Stock, an amount in cash with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock then held by such Holder equal to the greater of (x) the sum of (i) the Stated Value thereof plus (ii) all accrued and unpaid Dividends thereon and (y) the amount per share such Holder would receive if such Holder converted such share of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock immediately prior to such Liquidation Event. If upon any such

23


Liquidation Event, the remaining assets of the Company available for the distribution to its stockholders after payment in full of amounts required to be paid or distributed to holders of Senior Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay each Holders and each holder of shares of Parity Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled, then the Holders and the holders of shares of Parity Stock, shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets of the Company in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect to the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to said shares were paid in full. To the extent necessary, the Company shall cause such actions to be taken by each of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this Section 12. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section 12 shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Company to the holders of shares of Junior Stock in connection with a Liquidation Event as to which this Section 12 applies.

          13. Participation. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 9, the Holders shall, as holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, be entitled to receive such dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of shares of Common Stock to the same extent as if such Holders had converted each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by each of them into shares of Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere) and had held such shares of Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock (provided, however, to the extent that a Holder’s right to participate in any such dividend or distribution would result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution to such extent (or the beneficial ownership of any such shares of Common Stock as a result of such dividend or distribution to such extent) and such dividend or distribution to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of such Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).

          14. Vote to Change the Terms of or Issue Series A Preferred Stock. In addition to any other rights provided by law, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by another provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, without first obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders, voting together as a single class, the Company shall not: (a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, its Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any certificate of designations or articles of amendment of any series of shares of preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or change in any respect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers, or restrictions provided for the benefit, of the Series A Preferred Stock, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise; (b) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; (c) without limiting any provision of Section 2, create or authorize (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of shares that has a preference over or is on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends or the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; (d) purchase, repurchase or

24


redeem any shares of capital stock of the Company junior in rank to the Series A Preferred Stock (other than pursuant to equity incentive agreements (that have in good faith been approved by the Board) with employees giving the Company the right to repurchase shares upon the termination of services); (e) without limiting any provision of Section 2, pay dividends or make any other distribution on any shares of any capital stock of the Company junior in rank to the Series A Preferred Stock; (f) issue any shares of Series A Preferred Stock other than pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement; (g) without limiting any provision of Section 17, whether or not prohibited by the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, circumvent a right of the Series A Preferred Stock; (h) (and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not), directly or indirectly, sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of any assets or rights of the Company or any Subsidiary owned or acquired whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, other than (1) sales, leases, licenses, assignments, transfers, conveyances and other dispositions of such assets or rights by the Company and its Subsidiaries that, in the aggregate, do not have a fair market value in excess of $100,000 in any twelve (12) month period, (2) sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business and (3) leases and licenses of intellectual property of the Company and its Subsidiaries to unaffiliated third parties that are in the ordinary course of business, provided that no such lease or license shall result in a lease or license of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (i) (and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not), directly or indirectly, incur or guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement).

          15. Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificates representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the applicable Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver new certificate(s) of like tenor and date.

          16. Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designations and any of the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and no remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy. Nothing herein shall limit any Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designations. The Company covenants to each Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. 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 a Holder 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 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, each Holder 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

25


any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to a Holder that is requested by such Holder to enable such Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Certificate of Designations (including, without limitation, compliance with Section 9(a)).

          17. Noncircumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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 of this Certificate of Designations, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Certificate of Designations and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Certificate of Designations, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock above the Conversion Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and (iii) shall, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein).

          18. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder 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. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. This Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all Holders and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof.

          19. Notices. The Company shall provide each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Certificate of Designations, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice must be in writing and shall be given in accordance with Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall give written notice to each Holder (i) promptly following any adjustment of the Conversion Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment and (ii) at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any grant, issuances, or sales of any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property to all holders of shares of Common Stock as a class or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided, in each case, that such information shall be made known to the public prior to, or simultaneously with, such notice being provided to any Holder.

The Company may treat the Person in whose name any Series A Preferred Stock is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly made transfers.
