Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, on the Forced Conversion Date, dividends, if previously declared, ceased to accrue on shares of the Preferred Stock and all rights of holders of the Preferred Stock terminated except for the right to receive whole shares of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of the Common Stock.
