RAPID THERAPEUTIC SCIENCE LABORATORIES, INC.,

ESTABLISHING THE DESIGNATION, PREFERENCES,

LIMITATIONS AND RELATIVE RIGHTS OF ITS

SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

 

Pursuant to Section 78.1955 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”), Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc., a company organized and existing under the State of Nevada (the “Company”),

 

DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, and pursuant to Section 78.1955 of the NRS, the Board of Directors, by unanimous written consent of all members of the Board of Directors on May 28, 2021, duly adopted a resolution providing for the issuance of a series of Two Million shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which resolution is and reads as follows:

 

RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted to and invested in the Board of Directors by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended and Section 78.1955 of the NRS, a series of the preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company be, and it hereby is, established; and

 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the series of preferred stock of the Company be, and it hereby is, given the distinctive designation of “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”; and

 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall consist of Two Million (2,000,000) shares; and

 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the powers and preferences, and the relative, participating, optional and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations, and restrictions thereon set forth in this Certificate of Designation (the “Designation” or the “Certificate of Designation”) below:

 

1.  Dividends.

1.1  Dividends in General. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall not accrue any dividends, provided that, the Holders shall, as holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, be entitled to such dividends paid and Distributions made to the holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if such Holders had converted the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into 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 Common Stock. Following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event (as hereinafter defined) and the payment in full to a Holder of its applicable Liquidation Preference, such Holder shall cease to have any rights hereunder to participate in any future dividends or distributions made to the holders of Common Stock. No Distributions

Page 1


shall be made with respect to the Common Stock until all past due, if any, and/or declared dividends on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock have been paid or set aside for payment to the Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders shall have no right of participation in connection with dividends or Distributions made to the Common Stock shareholders consisting solely of shares of Common Stock.

1.2  Non-Cash Distributions. Whenever a Distribution provided for in this Section 1 shall be payable in property other than cash, the value of such Distribution shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

1.3  Other Distributions. Subject to the terms of this Certificate of Designation, and to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, the Company shall be expressly permitted to redeem, repurchase or make distributions on the shares of its capital stock.

2.  Liquidation Rights.

2.1  Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary (each a “Liquidation Event”), the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive pari passu with any Distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock and Parity Securities and prior to any holders of any Junior Securities, by reason of their ownership of such stock, but not prior to any holders of the Company’s Senior Securities, which holders of the Senior Securities shall have priority to the Distribution of any assets of the Company, an amount per share for each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by them equal to the Liquidation Preference. If upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Parity Securities and Common Stock (i.e., after payment of the Company’s liabilities and payment to any holders of the Company’s Senior Securities) are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full amounts specified in this Section then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (on an as-converted basis), Parity Securities and Common Stock in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and applicable law. For the sake of clarity, the rights of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event shall be pari passu with the rights of the Parity Securities and Common Stock for all purposes.

2.2  Valuation of Non-Cash Consideration. If any assets of the Company distributed to stockholders in connection with any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company are other than cash, then the value of such assets shall be their fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

3.  Conversion.

3.1  Automatic Conversion.

(a)  Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically convert, without any required action by any Holder, into that number of fully-paid, nonassessable shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (i) the Original Issue Price for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock by (ii) the Conversion Price (such shares of Common Stock issuable upon a Conversion, the “Sharesand a “Conversion”), on the second anniversary of the Effective Date, to the extent vested, if subject to vesting.

(b)  Following the Conversion, the Company shall promptly issue to each Holder all Shares of Common Stock which such Holder is due in connection with the Conversion (and promptly deliver such Shares to the address of Holder which the Company then has on record (a “Delivery”)). The Shares issuable in connection with a Conversion shall be fully-paid, non-assessable shares of Common Stock. Unless the Shares are covered by a valid and effective registration under the Securities Act or the Holder provides a valid opinion from an attorney stating that such Shares can be issued free of restrictive legend, which shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, prior to the issuance date of such Shares, such Shares shall be issued as Restricted Shares.

(c)  The issuance and Delivery by the Company of the Shares shall fully discharge the Company from any and all further obligations under or in connection with the Series B Preferred Stock and shall automatically, and without any required action by the Company or the Holder, result in the cancellation, termination and invalidation of any outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and Preferred Stock Certificates held by a Holder or his, her or its assigns.

(d)  Without limiting the obligation of each Holder set forth herein (including in the subsequent clause (e)), the Company and/or the Company’s Transfer Agent shall be authorized to take whatever action necessary, if any, following the issuance and Delivery of the Shares to reflect the cancellation of the Series B Preferred Stock subject to the Conversion, which shall not require the approval and/or consent of any Holder (a “Cancellation”).

(e)  Notwithstanding the above, each Holder, by accepting such Preferred Stock Certificates (or such Series B Preferred Stock shares in book-entry form) hereby covenants that it will, whenever and as reasonably requested by the Company and the Transfer Agent, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such other and further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, confirmations, powers of attorney and any instruments of further assurance, approvals and consents as the Company or the Transfer Agent may reasonably require in order to complete, insure and perfect the Cancellation, if such may be reasonably required by the Company and/or the Company’s Transfer Agent, including, but not


Rapid Therapeutic: Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

Page 3


limited to the delivery to the Company of all Preferred Stock Certificates and stock powers with medallion signature guaranty in connection with the Cancellation.

(f)  In the event that the Delivery of any Shares is unsuccessful and/or any Holder fails to accept such Shares, such Shares shall be held by the Company and/or the Transfer Agent in trust (without accruing interest) and shall be released to such Holder upon reasonable evidence to the Company or the Transfer Agent that such Holder is the legal owner of such Shares, provided that the Holder’s failure to accept such Shares and/or the Company’s inability to Deliver such shares shall in no event effect the validity of the Cancellation.

3.2  Fractional Shares. If any Conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock (aggregating all shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock being converted), such fractional share shall be payable in cash based upon the market value of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the date of conversion (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be the next lower whole number of shares. If the Company elects not to, or is unable to, make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.

3.3  Taxes. The Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect to any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon Conversion in a name other than that in which the shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid. The Company shall withhold from any payment due whatsoever in connection with the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock any and all required withholdings and/or taxes the Company, in its sole discretion deems reasonable or necessary, absent an opinion from Holder’s accountant or legal counsel, acceptable to the Company in its sole determination, that such withholdings and/or taxes are not required to be withheld by the Company.

3.4  No Impairment. The Company will not through any reorganization, transfer of assets, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall prohibit the Company from amending its Articles of Incorporation with the requisite consent of its stockholders and the Board of Directors, provided that such amendment will not prohibit the Company from having sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock to permit conversion hereunder.

3.5  Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of


Rapid Therapeutic: Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

Page 4


Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series B Convertible 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 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

4.  Adjustments for Recapitalizations.

4.1  Equitable Adjustments for Recapitalizations. (a) The Liquidation Preference and the Original Issue Price (each, as and if applicable) (the “Preferred Stock Adjustable Provisions”); (b) the Conversion Price (as and if applicable) (the “Common Stock Adjustable Provisions”), and (c) any and all other terms, conditions, amounts and provisions of this Designation which (i) pursuant to the terms of this Designation provide for equitable adjustment in the event of a Recapitalization (the “Other Equitable Adjustable Provisions”); or (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in their reasonable good faith judgment is required to be equitably adjusted in connection with any Recapitalizations, shall each be subject to equitable adjustment as provided in Sections 4.2 through 4.3, below, as determined by the Board of Directors in their sole and reasonable discretion.

4.2  Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Common Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, without a corresponding subdivision of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the applicable Common Stock Adjustable Provisions and the Other Equitable Adjustable Provisions (if any) in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately and equitably adjusted. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, without a corresponding combination of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Common Stock Adjustable Provisions and the Other Equitable Adjustable Provisions (if any) in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately and equitably adjusted.

4.3  Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the applicable Preferred Stock Adjustable Provisions, Common Stock Adjustable Provisions and the Other Equitable Adjustable Provisions (if any) in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately and equitably adjusted. In the event the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a


Rapid Therapeutic: Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

Page 5


lesser number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the applicable Preferred Stock Adjustable Provisions, Common Stock Adjustable Provisions and the Other Equitable Adjustable Provisions (if any) in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately and equitably adjusted. Provided however that the result of any concurrent adjustment in the Common Stock (as provided under Section 4.2) and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (as provided under Section 4.3) shall only be to affect the equitable adjustable provisions hereof once.

4.4  Other Adjustments. The Board of Directors of the Company shall also adjust equitably, and shall have the right to adjust equitably, any or all of the Preferred Stock Adjustable Provisions, Common Stock Adjustable Provisions or Other Equitable Adjustable Provisions from time to time, if the Board of Directors of the Company determine in their reasonable good faith judgment that such values and/or provisions are required to be equitably adjusted in connection with any Company action.

4.5  Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution.

(a)  Except to the extent such Recapitalization Event is subject to Sections 4.1 through 4.3, above (the “Recapitalization and Adjustment Rights”), and/or Section 2 (“Liquidation Rights”), if at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date there shall occur any capital reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, share exchange, restructuring, consolidation, combination or merger involving the Company in which the Common Stock (but not the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) of the Company or otherwise (other than a transaction covered by the Recapitalization and Adjustment Rights or Liquidation Rights) (each a “Recapitalization Event”), provision shall be made so that each Series B Convertible Preferred Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Series B Convertible Preferred Holder the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash or any combination thereof) of the Company or otherwise, to which a Common Stock shareholder holding the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Series B Convertible Preferred Holder are convertible immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger (without regard for the Maximum Percentage) would have been entitled upon such event.

(b)  In the event that the holders of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in the business combination, then the Company shall make adequate provision whereby the Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the opportunity to determine the form of consideration into which all of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, treated as a single class, shall be convertible from and after the effective date of such business combination. If such opportunity is granted, such determination shall be based on the determination at a meeting duly called or via a written consent to action of a Majority In Interest, shall be subject to any limitations to which all holders of Common Stock are subject, such as pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in such business

Page 6


combination, and shall be conducted in such a manner as to be completed by the date which is the earliest of (1) the deadline for elections to be made by holders of Common Stock and (2) two Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date of the business combination. Further, the Company shall not affect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Company) resulting from consolidation or merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to acquire.

(c)  If a conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is to be made in connection with a transaction contemplated by this Section 4.5 or a similar transaction affecting the Company (other than a tender or exchange offer), the conversion of any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may, at the election of the Holder thereof, be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such conversion shall not be deemed to be effective until such transaction has been consummated. In connection with any tender or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right to tender (or submit for exchange) shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in such a manner so as to preserve the status of such shares as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock until immediately prior to such time as shares of Common Stock are to be purchased (or exchanged) pursuant to such offer, at which time that portion of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock so tendered which is convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased (or exchanged) pursuant to such offer shall be deemed converted into the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock. Any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock not so converted shall be returned to the Holder as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

(d)  None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to convert such Holder’s shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock prior to the effective date of such business combination, subject to the terms of this Designation.

(e)  In the event of any Recapitalization Event falling under this Section 4.5, in such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4.5 with respect to the rights and interests of the Series B Convertible Preferred Holders after such events to the end that the provisions of this Section 4.5 (including, but not limited to, adjustment of the Conversion Price in respect of any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of all such shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly reasonably as may be. The Company may not become a party to any such transaction unless its terms are consistent with the preceding requirements and such transaction is otherwise affected in accordance with this Designation.

4.6  Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 4, the Company at its expense shall

Page 7


promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Series B Convertible 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 Company shall, upon the reasonable written request at any time of any holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

5.  Voting. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights, except as expressly set forth below under Section 6, “Protective Provisions”. Other than as provided herein or required by law, there shall be no series voting.

6.  Protective Provisions.

6.1  Subject to the rights of series of preferred stock which may from time to time come into existence, so long as any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the approval (at a meeting duly called or by written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of a Majority In Interest:

(a)  Increase or decrease (other than by redemption or conversion) the total number of authorized shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock;

(b)  Re-issue any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock converted pursuant to the terms of this Designation;

(c)  Issue any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock other than pursuant to the Agreement;

(d)  Alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the shares of such series; or

(e)  Amend or waive any provision of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws relative to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in any material respect as compared to holders of other series of shares, except as otherwise allowed hereunder.

For the sake of clarity, no approval of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be required for the Company to issue any Junior Securities, Parity Securities or Senior Securities.

10.  Replacement Preferred Stock Certificates. In the event that any Holder notifies the Company that a Preferred Stock Certificate evidencing shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, the Company shall issue a replacement stock certificate evidencing the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock identical in tenor and date (or if such certificate is being issued for shares not covered in a redemption or conversion, in the applicable tenor and date) to the original Preferred Stock Certificate evidencing the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, provided that the Holder executes and delivers to the Company and/or its Transfer Agent, as applicable, an affidavit of lost stock certificate and an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its Transfer Agent to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such Series B Convertible Preferred Stock certificate, and provides the Company and/or its Transfer Agent such other information, documents and if applicable, bonds and indemnities as the Company or its Transfer Agent customarily requires for reissuances of stock certificates (collectively the “Lost Certificate Materials”); provided, however, the Company shall not be obligated to re-issue replacement stock certificates if the Holder contemporaneously requests the Company to convert or redeem the full number of shares evidenced by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate.

11.  No Other Rights or Privileges. Except as specifically set forth herein, the Holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have no other rights, privileges or preferences with respect to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

12.5  Interpretation. Whenever possible, each provision of this Designation shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law and public policy. If any provision set forth herein is held to be invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or otherwise adversely affecting the remaining provisions of this Designation. No provision herein set forth shall be deemed dependent upon any other provision unless so expressed herein. If a court of competent jurisdiction should determine that a provision of this Designation would be valid or enforceable if a period of time were extended or shortened, then such court may make such change as shall be necessary to render the provision in question effective and valid under applicable law.
