6. Conversion Rights . For the avoidance of doubt, all references to “Senior Preferred Stock” in this Section 6 shall be deemed to include the Series C Preferred Stock.
(a) Right to Convert . At any time and from time to time after the date that this Tenth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is filed (the “ Filing Date ”), any holder of Senior Preferred Stock may convert any share of Senior Preferred Stock held by such holder into a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (i) the applicable Base Price by (ii) the applicable Conversion Price then in effect. The conversion price for the Series A Preferred Stock (the “ Series A Conversion Price ”) shall be equal to $5,822.50, the conversion price for the Series B Preferred Stock (the “ Series B Conversion Price ”) shall be equal to $8,056.61, the conversion price for the Series B-1 Preferred Stock (the “ Series B-1 Conversion Price ”) shall be equal to $8,056.61 and the initial conversion price for the Series C Preferred Stock (the “ Series C Conversion Price ”) shall be equal to the Series C Base Price. The Series A Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price, the Series B-1 Conversion Price and the Series C Conversion Price are sometimes referred to herein as the applicable “Conversion Price” (the “ Conversion Price ”). For the avoidance of doubt, references to “Conversion Price” in this Tenth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall not give effect to any Qualified IPO Conversion (as defined below). Each of the Series A Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price, the Series B-1 Conversion Price and the Series C Conversion Price has been determined after giving effect to this Tenth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the issuance of the Convertible Notes and Warrants (as defined in the Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement) as contemplated by the Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement. The Conversion Price from time to time in effect is subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided in this Section 6. Any accrued but unpaid dividends on the Senior Preferred Stock so converted will terminate and cease to exist upon the conversion of such Senior Preferred Stock into Common Stock.
(b) Automatic Conversion .
(i) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6 to the contrary, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock (“ Series A Conversion Shares ”), upon the earlier of (A) the date specified by vote or written consent or agreement of holders of at least seventy percent (70%) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, in an amount of Series A Conversion Shares as is
-21-
calculated based on the then-effective Series A Conversion Price, or (B) immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock for the account of the Corporation to the public through a nationally recognized underwriter, immediately following which such shares of Common Stock are to be listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, for quotation on the Nasdaq Global Market System or such other internationally recognized stock exchange that is approved by the Board (a “ Qualified IPO ”), in an amount of Series A Conversion Shares as is equal to 3.4974 shares of Common Stock. In the event of an automatic conversion under this Section 6(b), the Corporation shall promptly issue a new certificate to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock representing each stockholder’s Series A Conversion Shares and such holder shall surrender its certificate(s) of Series A Preferred Stock in exchange therefor.
(ii) Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock (“ Series B Conversion Shares ”), upon the earlier of (A) the date specified by vote or written consent or agreement of holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding, in an amount of Series B Conversion Shares as is calculated based on the then-effective Series B Conversion Price, or (B) immediately prior to the closing of a Qualified IPO, in an amount of Series B Conversion Shares as is equal to 3.5636 shares of Common Stock. In the event of an automatic conversion under this Section 6(b), the Corporation shall promptly issue a new certificate to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock representing each stockholder’s Conversion Shares and such holder shall surrender its certificate(s) of Series B Preferred Stock in exchange therefor.
(iii) Each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock (“ Series B-1 Conversion Shares ”), upon the earlier of (A) the date specified by vote or written consent or agreement of holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding, in an amount of Series B-1 Conversion Shares as is calculated based on the then-effective Series B-1 Conversion Price, or (B) immediately prior to the closing of a Qualified IPO, in an amount of Series B-1 Conversion Shares as is equal to 5.0243 shares of Common Stock. In the event of an automatic conversion under this Section 6(b), the Corporation shall promptly issue a new certificate to each holder of Series B-1 Preferred Stock representing each stockholder’s Conversion Shares and such holder shall surrender its certificate(s) of Series B-1 Preferred Stock in exchange therefor.
(iv) Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock (“ Series C Conversion Shares ”), upon the earlier of (A) the date specified by vote or written consent or agreement of holders of at least seventy percent (70%) of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding, in an amount of Series C Conversion Shares as is calculated based on the then-effective Series C Conversion Price, or (B) immediately prior to the closing of a Qualified IPO, in an amount of Series C Conversion Shares as is equal to 3.2817 shares of Common Stock. An automatic conversion upon a Qualified IPO pursuant to clauses (i)(B), (ii)(B), (iii)(B) and (iv)(B) under this Section 6(b) is sometimes referred to in this Tenth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as a “Qualified IPO Conversion” (a “ Qualified IPO Conversion ”). The Series A Conversion Shares, the Series B Conversion Shares, the Series B-1 Conversion Shares and the Series C Conversion Shares are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Conversion Shares” (the
-22-
“ Conversion Shares ”). In the event of an automatic conversion under this Section 6(b), the Corporation shall promptly issue a new certificate to each holder of Series C Preferred Stock representing each stockholder’s Conversion Shares and such holder shall surrender its certificate(s) of Series C Preferred Stock in exchange therefor.
(v) In the event of an automatic conversion under this Section 6(b), all holders of record of shares of Senior Preferred Stock, to the extent applicable, shall be sent written notice of the time (the “ Automatic Conversion Time ”) and the place designated for the automatic conversion of all such shares of Senior Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6(b). Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Senior Preferred Stock shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (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), duly endorsed in favor of the Corporation or in blank and accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, 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 6. At the Automatic Conversion Time, all outstanding shares of Senior Preferred Stock, to the extent applicable, 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 Senior 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 (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the last sentence of this Section 6(b)(v). As soon as practicable after the Automatic Conversion Time and the surrender of the certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Senior Preferred Stock, as applicable, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof, together with cash as provided in Section 6(c)(i) in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and the payment of any declared but unpaid dividends (but not any undeclared accruing dividends pursuant to Section 2) on the shares of Senior Preferred Stock converted.
(vi) All shares of Senior Preferred Stock shall, to the extent applicable, from and after the Automatic Conversion Time, no longer be deemed to be outstanding and, notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender the certificates for such shares on or prior to such time, all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Automatic Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon (but not any undeclared accruing dividends pursuant to Section C.2).
