If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay each of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock the full amount to which such holder shall be entitled, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall, following payment to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock under Section 2(a)(ii) above, be insufficient to pay each of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock the full amount to which such holder shall be entitled, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and any class or series of stock ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall, following payment to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock under Sections 2(a)(ii) and (iii) above, be insufficient to pay each of the holders of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock the full amount to which such holder shall be entitled, the holders of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock and any class or series of stock ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Series A-4 Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

(v) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, following any payments made to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the holders of shares of the Junior Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock or any other class or series of stock ranking on liquidation junior to the Junior Preferred Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to (A) in the case of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the greater of (I) the applicable Series A-1 Per Share Liquidation Amount (as defined below) plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon, or (II) such amount per share as would have

 

- 5 -


been payable had each such share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, (B) in the case of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, the greater of (I) the Series A-2 Per Share Liquidation Amount (as defined below) plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon, or (II) such amount per share as would have been payable had each such share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and (C) in the case of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock, the greater of (I) the Series A-3 Per Share Liquidation Amount (as defined below) plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon, or (II) such amount per share as would have been payable had each such share of Series A-3 Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. In calculating whether a particular series of Junior Preferred Stock would receive upon conversion more than its stated liquidation amount, the conversion of each other series of Junior Preferred Stock is to be assumed if and only if such other series of Junior Preferred Stock would receive upon such conversion more than its stated liquidation amount. The combined aggregate Series A-4 Per Share Liquidation Amount and Junior Preferred Liquidation Amount payable pursuant to Section 2(a)(iv) and Section 2(a)(v) shall not exceed forty eight million dollars ($48,000,000) (the “Liquidation Cap”). The aggregate Series A-1 Per Share Liquidation Amount payable pursuant to clause (A) of this Section 2(a)(v) shall in no event exceed $29,806,552. If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay each of the holders of the Junior Preferred Stock the full amount to which such holder shall be entitled, the holders of the Junior Preferred Stock and any class or series of stock ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Junior Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

4. Optional Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Series A-l Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $0.4162 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization occurring after the date hereof and affecting the number of issued and outstanding shares of Series A-l Preferred Stock) by the Series A-l Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion.

- 13 -


outstanding shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock) by the Series A-4 Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $0.30 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization occurring after the date hereof and affecting the number of issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock) by the Series B Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $0.38811 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization occurring after the date hereof and affecting the number of issued and outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock) by the Series C Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The “Series A-l Conversion Price” shall mean $0.4162 at the date hereof, the “Series A-2 Conversion Price” shall mean $0.3397 at the date hereof, the “Series A-3 Conversion Price” shall mean $0.6245 at the date hereof, the “Series A-4 Conversion Price” shall mean $0.30 at the date hereof, the “Series B Conversion Price” shall mean $0.30 at the date hereof, and the “Series C Conversion Price” shall mean $0.38811 at the date hereof. The “Conversion Price” shall mean, collectively, the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, and Series C Conversion Price, as applicable. Such initial Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, and Series C Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series A-l Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series A-3 Preferred Stock, Series A-4 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below.

(i) In the event of a notice of redemption of any shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Conversion Rights of the shares designated for redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the full day preceding the date fixed for redemption, unless the redemption price is not fully paid when due, in which case the Conversion Rights for such shares shall continue until such price is paid in full. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the second full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Preferred Stock.

(b) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then effective Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price, as the case may be.

 

- 14 -


(c) Mechanics of Conversion.

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

(ii) The Corporation shall at all times when any Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A-l Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series A-3 Preferred Stock, Series A-4 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price.

 

- 15 -


(iii) Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price shall be made for any declared but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion.

(iv) All shares of Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall immediately cease and terminate at the close of business on the Conversion Date, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor, to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversion as provided above and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon as of the close of business on the Conversion Date. Any shares of Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and the Corporation (without the need for stockholder action) may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of such series of Preferred Stock accordingly.

(v) The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series C Original Issue Date shall issue any Options (excluding Options covered by Subsection 4(d)(i)(D)(I), (IV), (V), (VI) and (VII) above) or Convertible Securities (excluding Convertible Securities covered by Subsection 4(d)(i)(D)(I), (V), (VI) and (VII) above) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued:

(A) No adjustment or further adjustment in the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

 

- 18 -


(B) If such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities;

(C) Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option, the affected Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price that would be in effect had such Option never been issued, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed issued as the result of the original issue of such Option shall not be deemed issued for the purposes of any subsequent adjustment of the affected Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price;

(D) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the anti-dilution provisions thereof (but excluding any change resulting from any events resulting in changes under Section 4(e) or 4(f) below), the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price then in effect shall forthwith be readjusted to such Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price as would have obtained had the adjustment which was made upon the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security not exercised or converted prior to such change been made upon the basis of such change; and

In the event the Corporation, after the Series C Original Issue Date, amends the terms of any such Options or Convertible Securities (whether such Options or Convertible Securities were outstanding as of the Series C Original Issue Date or were issued after the Series C Original Issue Date), then such Options or Convertible Securities, as so amended, shall be deemed to have been issued after the Series C Original Issue Date and the provisions of this Subsection 4(d)(iii) shall apply.

 

- 19 -


(iv) Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Series C Original Issue Date issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Subsection 4(d)(iii), but excluding shares issued as a stock split or combination as provided in Subsection 4(e) or upon a dividend or distribution as provided in Subsection 4(f)), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, such Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue (calculated assuming conversion of all issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock as well as all other issued and outstanding Convertible Securities, and the exercise, exchange or conversion of all then outstanding Options) plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received or to be received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock; and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue (calculated assuming conversion of all issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock as well as all other issued and outstanding Convertible Securities, and the exercise, exchange or conversion of all then outstanding Options) plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued; provided that, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise or conversion of such outstanding Options and Convertible Securities shall not give effect to any adjustments to the conversion price or conversion rate of such Options or Convertible Securities resulting from the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock that is the subject of this calculation.

(v) [Reserved.]

(vi) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Subsection 4(d), the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

(A) Cash and Property: Such consideration shall:

(I) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate of cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest;

 

- 20 -


(II) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and

(III) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (I) and (II) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(B) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Subsection 4(d)(iii), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:

(I) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by

(II) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(vii) Multiple Closing Dates. In the event the Corporation shall issue on more than one date Additional Shares of Common Stock which are comprised of shares of the same series or class of Preferred Stock, and such issuance dates occur within a period of no more than one hundred eighty (180) days, then, upon the final such issuance, the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price shall be adjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on the date of the final such issuance (and without giving effect to any adjustments as a result of such prior issuances within such period).

(e) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Series C Original Issue Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock without a comparable subdivision of the Series A-l Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series A-3 Preferred Stock, Series A-4 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock

 

- 21 -


issuable on conversion of each share of Series A-l Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series A-3 Preferred Stock, Series A-4 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Series C Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock without a comparable combination of the Series A-l Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series A-3 Preferred Stock, Series A-4 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(f) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time, or from time to time after the Series C Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price then in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

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

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock actually issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Stock; provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and provided further, however, that no such adjustment shall be made with respect to the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price if the holders of Series A-l Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series A-3 Preferred Stock, Series A-4 Preferred Stock, Series B

 

- 22 -


Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, simultaneously receive (i) a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series A-l Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series A-3 Preferred Stock, Series A-4 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event or (ii) a dividend or other distribution of shares of Series A-l Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series A-3 Preferred Stock, Series A-4 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock which are convertible, as of the date of such event, into such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to the number of additional shares of Common Stock being issued with respect to each share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution.

(g) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series C Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event each holder of Preferred Stock shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities in an amount equal to the amount of such securities as such holder would have received if all shares of Preferred Stock owned by such holder had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

(h) Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange, or Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for above, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for below), then and in each such event the holder of each such share of Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable, upon such reorganization, reclassification, or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(i) Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another corporation (other than a consolidation, merger or sale which is covered by Subsection 2(c)), each share of Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible (or shall be converted into a security which shall be convertible) into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation deliverable upon conversion of such Preferred Stock would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger or sale; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 4 set forth with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holders of Preferred Stock to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Series A- 1 Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4

 

- 23 -


Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A-l Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series A-3 Preferred Stock, Series A-4 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock.

(j) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Section 4 by the Corporation, without the written consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, consenting together as a separate class on an as-converted basis, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock against impairment.

(k) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a similar certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Series A-l Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series A-4 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, or Series C Conversion Price then in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which then would be received upon the conversion of Series A-l Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series A-3 Preferred Stock, Series A-4 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock.

(1) Notice of Record Date. In the event:

(i) that the Corporation declares a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock payable in Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation;

(ii) that the Corporation subdivides or combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock;

(iii) of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock or a stock dividend or stock distribution thereon), or of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation into or with another corporation, or of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or

 

- 24 -


(iv) of the involuntary or voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation;

then the Corporation shall use reasonable efforts to cause to be filed at its principal office or at the office of the transfer agent of the Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be mailed to the holders of the Preferred Stock or such transfer agent, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified in (A) below or twenty (20) days before the date specified in (B) below, a notice stating

(A) the record date of such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination are to be determined, or

(B) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution or winding up; provided, however, that the Corporation’s failure to provide any notice required under this Section 4(1) after using reasonable efforts shall not be deemed a default, breach or violation of this Section 4(1).

5. Mandatory Conversion.

(a) Upon the earlier of (i) the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock in a firm underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in at least Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) (net of any underwriting discount and commissions) to the Corporation or (ii) a date agreed to in writing by a vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate class on an as-converted basis (each a “Mandatory Conversion Event”), all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective conversion rate.

(b) All holders of record of shares of Preferred Stock shall be given written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Event and the place and date (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”) designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5. Such notice need not be given in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Event. Such notice shall be sent by first class or registered mail, postage prepaid, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law, to each record holder of Preferred Stock. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Preferred Stock shall surrender his or its certificate or certificates for all such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice, and shall thereafter receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 5. On the Mandatory Conversion Date, all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted into shares of Common Stock, which shall be deemed to be outstanding of record, and all rights with respect to the Preferred Stock so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock) will terminate, except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefor, to

 

- 25 -


receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Preferred Stock has been converted, and payment of any declared but unpaid dividends thereon. If so required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his or its attorney duly authorized in writing. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Date and the surrender of the certificate or certificates for Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall cause to be issued and delivered to such holder, or on his or its written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and cash as provided in Subsection 4(b) in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion.

(c) All certificates evidencing shares of Preferred Stock which are required to be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof shall, from and after the Mandatory Conversion Date, be deemed to have been retired and cancelled and the shares of Preferred Stock represented thereby converted into Common Stock for all purposes, notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender such certificates on or prior to such date. Such converted Preferred Stock may not be reissued, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock accordingly.

6. Redemption.

(a) Unless prohibited by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders, the Preferred Stock shall, if required as set forth below, be redeemed by the Corporation at a price per share equal to the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below). As used in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, “Redemption Price” means in the case of the Series A-l Preferred Stock, $0.4162 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization occurring after the date hereof and affecting the number of issued and outstanding shares of Series A-l Preferred Stock) plus all declared but unpaid dividends, in the case of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, $0.3397 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization occurring after the date hereof and affecting the number of issued and outstanding shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock) plus all declared but unpaid dividends, in the case of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock, $0.6245 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization occurring after the date hereof and affecting the number of issued and outstanding shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock) plus all declared but unpaid dividends, in the case of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock, $0.30 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization occurring after the date hereof and affecting the number of issued and outstanding shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock) plus all declared but unpaid dividends, in the case of the Series B Preferred Stock, $0.30 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization occurring after the date hereof and affecting the number of issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock) plus all declared but unpaid dividends, and in the case of the Series C Preferred Stock, $0.38811 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split,

 

- 26 -


combination or other similar recapitalization occurring after the date hereof and affecting the number of issued and outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock) plus all declared but unpaid dividends. Such redemption shall occur in three annual equal installments commencing sixty (60) days after receipt by the Corporation, at any time on or after the fifth anniversary of the Series C Original Issue Date, of written notice requesting redemption of all shares of Preferred Stock from the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, as follows (which must include at least 50% of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 50% of the then-outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock):

(i) on the sixtieth (60th) day after receipt by the Corporation of the written notice described in Section 6(a), the Corporation shall redeem one-third of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding;

(ii) on the one-year anniversary of the redemption made pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) above, the Corporation shall redeem fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding; and

(iii) on the one-year anniversary of the redemption made pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii) above, the Corporation shall redeem all of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding.

The date of each redemption pursuant to Section 6(a) is referred to as a “Redemption Date”. On each Redemption Date, the Corporation shall redeem the number of shares of Preferred Stock determined as set forth in this Section 6(a) on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned by each holder of Preferred Stock. Upon receipt of a redemption request, the Company shall apply all of its assets to any such redemption, and to no other corporate purpose, except to the extent prohibited by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders. If on any Redemption Date Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders prevents the Corporation from redeeming all of the Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any Redemption Date, the Corporation shall redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s shares of Preferred Stock, based on the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares to be redeemed if the Corporation were able to redeem all such shares under such law and shall redeem the remaining shares to have been redeemed as soon as it may lawfully do so under such law.

(b) Written notice of the mandatory redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to each holder of record of Preferred Stock, not less than thirty (30) days prior to each Redemption Date. Each Redemption Notice shall state:

(i) the number of shares of each class of Preferred Stock held by the holder that the Corporation shall redeem on the Redemption Date specified in the Redemption Notice;

(ii) the Redemption Date and the Redemption Price;

(iii) the date upon which the holder’s right to convert such shares terminates (as determined in accordance with Section 4(a)); and

 

- 27 -


(iv) that the holder is to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, his certificate or certificates representing the shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed.

(c) Surrender of Certificates; Payment. On or before the applicable Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, unless such holder has exercised his right to convert such shares as provided in Section 4 hereof, shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares to the Corporation (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof, and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled and retired. In the event less than all of the shares of Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares of Preferred Stock shall promptly be issued to such holder.

(d) Rights Subsequent to Redemption. If the Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, and if on the applicable Redemption Date the Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment, then whether or not the certificates evidencing any of the shares of Preferred Stock so called for redemption have been surrendered, dividends with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue after such Redemption Date and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor.

(e) Any shares of Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to this Section 6 will be cancelled and will not under any circumstances be reissued, sold or transferred and the Corporation may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized shares of Preferred Stock accordingly.

7. Waiver. Except where a different vote is specified in the Certificate of Incorporation or required by the General Corporation Law, any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of a series of Preferred Stock set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all holders of such series of Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of such series of Preferred Stock then outstanding.

8. Notices. Any notice required by the provisions hereof to be given to a holder of shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed sent to such holder if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to such holder at his, her or its address appearing on the books of the Corporation or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of General Corporation Law.

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT

TO

AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF

LYRA THERAPEUTICS, INC.

Lyra Therapeutics, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), DOES HEREBY CERTIFY:

 

FIRST:

That the Board of Directors of the Corporation duly adopted resolutions at a meeting recommending and declaring advisable that the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation be amended and that such amendments be submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation for their consideration, as follows:

RESOLVED, that the first and second paragraphs of Article FOURTH of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation be amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

“Effective on the filing of this Certificate of Amendment to Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Amendment Effective Time”), a one-for-34.483 reverse split of the Corporation’s Common Stock shall become effective, pursuant to which each 34.483 shares of Common Stock outstanding and held of record by each stockholder of the Corporation (including treasury shares) immediately prior to the Amendment Effective Time shall be reclassified and combined into one validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock automatically and without any action by the holder thereof upon the Amendment Effective Time and shall represent one share of Common Stock from and after the Amendment Effective Time (such reclassification and combination of shares, the “Reverse Stock Split”). The par value of the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock following the Reverse Stock Split shall remain at $0.001 per share. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and, in lieu thereof, upon surrender after the Amendment Effective Time of a certificate which formerly represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Amendment Effective Time, any person who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, following the Amendment Effective Time, shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the fraction of which such holder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the fair market value per share as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.


Each stock certificate that, immediately prior to the Amendment Effective Time, represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Amendment Effective Time shall, from and after the Amendment Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent that number of whole shares of Common Stock after the Amendment Effective Time into which the shares formerly represented by such certificate have been reclassified (as well as the right to receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock after the Amendment Effective Time); provided, however, that each person of record holding a certificate that represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Amendment Effective Time shall receive, upon surrender of such certificate, a new certificate evidencing and representing the number of whole shares of Common Stock after the Amendment Effective Time into which the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified; and provided further, however, that whether or not fractional shares would be issuable as a result of the Reverse Stock Split shall be determined on the basis of (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Amendment Effective Time formerly represented by certificates that the holder is at the time surrendering for a new certificate evidencing and representing the number of whole shares of Common Stock after the Amendment Effective Time and (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock after the Amendment Effective Time into which the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by such certificates shall have been reclassified.

The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is Four Hundred Ninety Nine Million Three Hundred Thousand Two Hundred Eighty Eight (499,300,288), of which (a) Two Hundred Million (200,000,000) shares shall be Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), and (b) Two Hundred Ninety-Nine Million Three Hundred Thousand Two Hundred Eighty-Eight (299,300,288) shares shall be Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”), Seven Million Five Hundred Fifty-Four Thousand Six Hundred Fifty-Four (7,554,654) of which shall be designated Series A-l/A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A-1/A Preferred Stock”), Ten Million Five Thousand Six Hundred Seventy-Seven (10,005,677) of which shall be designated Series A-1/B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A-1/B Preferred Stock”), Sixteen Million Four Hundred Fifty-Six Thousand Seven Hundred Two (16,456,702) of which shall be designated Series A-1/C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A-1/C Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series A-1/A Preferred Stock and the Series A-1/B Preferred Stock, the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”), Twenty-Six Million Six Hundred Eighty Thousand Two Hundred Two (26,680,202) of which shall be designated Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A-2 Preferred Stock”), Thirty Million Seventy Thousand Four Hundred Eighty-Seven (30,070,487) of which shall be

designated Series A-3 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A-3 Preferred Stock”), Nineteen Million Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine (19,999,999) of which shall be designated Series A-4 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A-4 Preferred Stock”), Ninety-Eight Million Three Hundred Fifty-One Thousand Nine Hundred Fifty-Three (98,351,953) of which shall be designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”), and Ninety Million One Hundred Eighty Thousand Six Hundred Fourteen (90,180,614) of which shall be designated Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”).”

RESOLVED, that Subsection 4(b) of Part B of Article FOURTH of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.”

RESOLVED, that Subsection 5(a) of Part B of Article FOURTH of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Upon the earlier of (i) the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock in a firm underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in at least Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) (net of any underwriting discount and commissions) to the Corporation, (ii) the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public pursuant to the Corporation’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Reg. No. 333-236962), or (iii) a date agreed to in writing by a vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate class on an as-converted basis (each a “Mandatory Conversion Event”), all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective conversion rate.”

 

SECOND:

That in lieu of a meeting and vote of stockholders, the stockholders have given written consent to said amendments in accordance with the provisions of Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
