Steve Ratoff, hereby certify that I am the President and Chief Executive Officer of NovaDel Pharma Inc. (the Company),

New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion of
the share(s) of Series A Preferred Stock subject to such conversion in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit I
(the Conversion Notice) to the
Company. If required by Section 4(c)(vi), within
|
2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
five (5) Trading Days
following a conversion of any such Series A Preferred Stock as aforesaid,
such Holder shall surrender to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service
for delivery to the Company the original certificates representing the
share(s) of Series A Preferred Stock (the Preferred
Share Certificates) so converted as aforesaid.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(ii)
Companys Response. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the
date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by
facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of receipt of such
Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Companys transfer agent (the Transfer Agent), which
confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process
such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the
second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice, the Company shall (1) provided that the Transfer
Agent is participating in The
Depository Trust Companys (DTC)
Fast
Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled to such Holders or
its designees balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (2) if
the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities
Transfer Program, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in such
Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of such Holder or
its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder
shall be entitled. If the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by
the Preferred Share Certificate(s) submitted for conversion pursuant to
Section 4(c)(vi) is greater than the number of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock being converted, then the Company shall if requested by such Holder, as soon as practicable and in no
event later than three (3) Trading Days after receipt of the Preferred Share
Certificate(s) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder (or
its designee) a new Preferred Share Certificate representing the number of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock not converted.

|
|
|
(iii)
Record Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such
shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(iv)
Companys Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to issue
to a Holder within three (3) Trading Days after the Companys receipt of a
Conversion Notice (whether via facsimile or otherwise), a certificate for the
number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled and
register such shares of Common Stock on the Companys share register or to
credit such Holders or its designees balance account with DTC for such
number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such
Holders conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock (as the case
may be) (a Conversion Failure),
then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, such
Holder, upon written notice to the
|
3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Company, may void its Conversion Notice
with respect to, and retain or have returned (as the case may be) any shares
of Series A Preferred Stock that have not been converted pursuant to such Holders
Conversion Notice, provided
that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Companys
obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such
notice pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations or
otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if within three (3) Trading Days
after the Companys receipt of a Conversion Notice (whether via facsimile or
otherwise), the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to such
Holder and register such shares of Common Stock on the Companys share
register or credit such Holders or its designees balance account with DTC
for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled
upon such Holders conversion hereunder (as the case may be), and if on or
after such third (3rd) Trading Day such Holder (or any other
Person in respect, or on behalf, of such Holder) purchases (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of
a sale by such Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common
Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any
portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon such
conversion that such Holder so anticipated receiving from the Company, then,
in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, the Company
shall, within three (3) Business Days after such Holders request and in such
Holders discretion, either (i) pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to
such Holders total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other
out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
(including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf,
of such Holder) (the Buy-In Price),
at which point the Companys obligation to so issue and deliver such
certificate or credit such Holders balance account with DTC for the number
of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holders
conversion hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common
Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and
deliver to such Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares
of Common Stock or credit such Holders balance account with DTC for the
number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such
Holders conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to such
Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the
product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (B) the
lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the
period commencing on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice and ending
on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (ii). Immediately
following the voiding of a Conversion Notice as aforesaid, the Conversion
Price of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock returned or retained by such
Holder for failure to timely convert shall be adjusted to the lesser of (I)
the Conversion Price relating to the voided Conversion Notice and (II) the
lowest Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on
the Conversion Date and ending on the date such Holder voided the Conversion
Notice, subject to further adjustment as provided in this Certificate of
Designations.

(v)
Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from
more than one Holder for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such shares of Series A Preferred
Stock submitted for conversion, the Company shall convert from each Holder electing to have shares of Series A
Preferred Stock converted on such date a pro rata amount of such Holders
shares of Series A Preferred Stock submitted for conversion on such date
based on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock submitted for
conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the aggregate number of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock submitted for conversion on such date. In
the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to
a Holder in connection with a conversion of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, the Company shall issue
to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and
resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 23.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(vi)
Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Section 4, upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock in
accordance with the terms hereof, no Holder thereof shall be required to
physically surrender the certificate representing the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock to the Company following conversion thereof unless (A) the full or remaining number
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by the certificate are
being converted (in which
event such certificate(s) shall be delivered to the Company as contemplated
by this Section 4(c)(vi)) or (B) such Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which
notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock upon physical surrender of any shares of
Series A Preferred Stock. Each Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock so converted by such Holder and the dates of such conversions
or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and
the Company, so as not
to require physical surrender of the certificate representing the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock upon each such conversion. In the event of any
dispute or discrepancy, such records of such Holder establishing the number
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to which the record holder is entitled
shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. A
Holder and any transferee or assignee, by acceptance of a certificate,
acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph,
following conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the number of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by such certificate may be
less than the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock stated on the face
thereof. Each certificate for shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall bear
the following legend:

STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 4(c)(vi) THEREOF. THE NUMBER OF SHARES
OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN

Taxes. The Company shall pay
any and all documentary, stamp, transfer (but only in respect of the

|
|
|
|
|
|
(e)
Limitation on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Certificate of Designations, the shares of Series
A Preferred Stock held by a Holder shall not be convertible by such Holder,
and the Company shall not effect any conversion of any shares of Series A
Preferred Stock held by such Holder (including, without limitation, pursuant
to Section 6 hereof), to the extent (but only to the extent) that such
Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% (the
Maximum Percentage) of the Common Stock. To the
extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether the shares
of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder shall be convertible (vis-à-vis
other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by such
Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be
convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned
by such Holder and its affiliates) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage
limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company
for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior
inability of a Holder to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or of
the Company to issue shares of Common Stock to such Holder, pursuant to this
Section 4(e) shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of
this Section 4(e) with respect to any subsequent determination of
convertibility or issuance (as the case may be). For purposes of this Section
4(e), beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations
(including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage
ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of
this Section 4(e) shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict
conformity with the terms of this Section 4(e) to correct this Section 4(e)
(or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the
intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained
or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give
effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in
this Section 4(e) shall apply to a successor holder of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party
beneficiaries of this Section 4(e) and the Company
|
6
|
|
|
|
|
may not waive this Section
4(e) without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For
any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day
confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common
Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise
of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including,
without limitation, pursuant to this Certificate of Designations or
securities issued pursuant to the other Transaction Documents.

(b)
Notice of Triggering Event; Redemption Option Upon Triggering Event.
Within one (1) Business Day after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the
Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight
courier (with next day delivery specified) (Notice of Triggering Event) to each Holder. At any time
after the earlier of a Holders receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event and
such Holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event, such Holder shall have the
right, at such Holders option, to require the Company to redeem up to all of
such Holders shares of Series A Preferred Stock by delivering written notice
thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (with next day delivery
specified) (Notice of Redemption at Option
of Holder) to the Company, which Notice of Redemption at Option
of Holder shall indicate the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
that such Holder is electing to redeem. In addition to all other rights of
such Holder contained herein, each share of Series A Preferred Stock subject
to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be redeemed
by the Company at a price per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the
greater of (i) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount thereof multiplied by
(B) the Triggering Event Redemption Premium and (ii) the product of (X) the
Conversion Rate then in effect with respect to the Conversion Amount thereof
multiplied by (Y) the product of (1) the Equity Value Redemption Premium
multiplied by (2) the
greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the
period commencing on the date immediately preceding such Triggering Event and
ending on the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made
under this Section 5(b) (the Triggering Event
Redemption Price).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(c)
Payment of Redemption Price. Upon the Companys receipt of the first
Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder from any Holder, the Company shall
immediately notify each other Holder by facsimile of the Companys receipt of
such notice. The Company shall deliver on the second (2nd)
Business Day after the Companys receipt of the first Notice of Redemption at
Option of Holder the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price to all
Holders that deliver a Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder prior to the
second (2nd) Business Day after the Companys receipt of the first
Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder. The Company shall deliver on the
first (1st) Business Day after the Companys receipt of a Notice
of Redemption at Option of Holder the applicable Triggering Event Redemption
Price to a Holder who delivers a Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder at
any time on or following the second (2nd) Business Day after the
Companys receipt of the first Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder. To
the extent redemptions required by this Section 5 are deemed or determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be
voluntary prepayments. If the Company is unable to redeem all of the shares
of Series A Preferred Stock submitted for redemption, the Company shall (i)
redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder based on the number of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock submitted for redemption by such
|
9
|
|
|
|
|
Holder relative to
the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock submitted for
redemption by all Holders and (ii) in addition to any remedy any Holder may
have under this Certificate of Designations and/or any
of the other Transaction Documents, pay to each Holder interest at the rate
of 2% per month (prorated for partial months) in respect of each unredeemed
share of Series A Preferred Stock until paid in full. In the event of the
Companys redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock under this
Section 5, a Holders damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate
because of the parties inability to predict future interest rates and the
uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment
opportunity for such Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under
this Section 5 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a
reasonable estimate of such Holders actual loss of its investment
opportunity and not as a penalty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(d)
Void Redemption. In the event that the Company does not pay to a
Holder the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price within the time
period set forth in Section 5(c) for any reason (including, without
limitation, as a result of (i) a failure of the Company to have surplus under
Section 154 of the DGCL, (ii) the capital of the Company being impaired under
Section 160 of the DGCL, (iii) such payment causing any impairment of capital
of the Company under Section 160 of the DGCL or (iv) a failure of the Company
to have legally available funds to make such payment), at any time thereafter
and until the Company pays such unpaid applicable Triggering Event Redemption
Price in full, such Holder shall have the option to, in lieu of redemption,
require the Company to promptly return to such Holder any or all of the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were submitted for redemption by such
Holder under this Section 5 and for which the applicable Triggering Event
Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) has not been paid, by
sending written notice thereof to the Company (whether via facsimile or
otherwise) (the Void Optional Redemption
Notice). Upon the Companys receipt of such Holders Void
Optional Redemption Notice, (i) such Holders Notice of Redemption at Option
of Holder shall be null and void with respect to those shares of Series A
Preferred Stock subject to such Void Optional Redemption Notice, (ii) the
Company shall immediately return to such Holder any shares of Series A
Preferred Stock subject to such Void Optional Redemption Notice and (iii) the Conversion Price with respect to
each conversion effected thereafter by each Holder shall be equal to the
lowest of (A) the Conversion Price in effect on the applicable Conversion
Date, (B) the Conversion Price in effect on the date of the first Void
Optional Redemption Notice, (C) 75% of the lowest Closing Bid Price of the
Common Stock during the period beginning on and including the date the first
Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder is delivered to the Company and
ending on and including the date on the first Void Optional Redemption Notice
and (D) 75% of the VWAP of the Common Stock for the five (5) Trading Day
period immediately preceding the Conversion Date of the applicable

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

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

Automatic Conversion or Company Redemption.
|
|
|
|
|
(a)
General. On each applicable Automatic Conversion Date, each Holders
Automatic Conversion Amount applicable to such Automatic Conversion Date
shall be automatically converted in accordance with this Section 6 into
shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock (an Automatic Conversion), provided that the Company may, at its
option as described below, in lieu of such Automatic Conversion redeem such
Holders Automatic Conversion Amount in cash (a Company Redemption) subject to the provisions of this
Section 6, provided further that, unless waived by the Required Holders, an
Automatic Conversion shall not occur with respect to such Holders Automatic
Conversion Amount and the Company shall instead be required to elect and to
redeem such Holders entire Automatic Conversion Amount in cash pursuant to a
Company Redemption if on the applicable Automatic Conversion Notice Due Date
or on the applicable Automatic Conversion Date (as the case may be) there is
an Equity Conditions Failure. On or prior to the date which is the twenty-third (23rd) Trading Day
prior to each Automatic Conversion Date (each, an Automatic Conversion Notice Due Date), the Company shall
deliver written notice (each, an Automatic
Conversion Notice and the date all of the Holders receive such
notice is referred to as to the Automatic
Conversion Notice Date), to each Holder of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock and such Automatic Conversion Notice shall (i) either (A)
confirm that such Holders Automatic Conversion Amount shall be automatically
converted in whole pursuant to an Automatic Conversion or (B) state that the
Company elects to redeem, or is required to elect and redeem in accordance
with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations, such Holders
Automatic Conversion Amount pursuant to a Company Redemption and (ii) if such
Holders Automatic Conversion Amount is to be converted pursuant to an
Automatic Conversion, certify that there is not an Equity Conditions Failure
as of the date of the Automatic Conversion Notice. Each Automatic Conversion
Notice shall be irrevocable by the Company and may not be revoked by the Company. If the Company does not timely
deliver an Automatic Conversion Notice in accordance with this Section 6(a) with respect to a particular Automatic
Conversion Date, then the Company shall be deemed to have delivered an irrevocable
Automatic Conversion Notice confirming an Automatic Conversion and shall be deemed to have certified
that there is not an Equity Conditions Failure on the applicable Automatic
Conversion Notice Due
Date and the applicable Automatic Conversion Date. No later than two (2) Trading
Days after delivery or deemed delivery (as applicable) of the applicable Automatic
Conversion Notice confirming an Automatic Conversion, the Company shall
deliver to such Holders account with DTC such number of shares of Common
Stock (the Pre-Automatic Conversion Shares)
equal to the quotient of (x) the aggregate Conversion Amount of such Holders
Automatic Conversion Amount
|
11
|
|
|
|
|
divided by (y) the Pre-Automatic Conversion
Price, and as to which such Holder shall be the owner thereof as of such time
of delivery or deemed delivery (as the case may be) of such Automatic Conversion Notice. If the
Company elects a Company Redemption with respect to any Holder for an Automatic
Conversion Date, then the Company must elect a Company Redemption with
respect to all Holders for such Automatic Conversion Date. An Automatic
Conversion (whether set forth in the Automatic Conversion Notice or by
operation of this Section 6(a)) shall be converted in accordance with Section
6(b) and a Company Redemption shall be redeemed in accordance with Section
6(c).
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
Mechanics of Automatic Conversion. Subject to Section 6(a), if the
Company delivers an Automatic Conversion Notice and confirms, or is deemed to
have delivered an Automatic Conversion Notice and is deemed to have
confirmed, an Automatic Conversion in accordance with Section 6(a), then the
remainder of this Section 6(b) shall apply. With respect to each Holder, the aggregate
Conversion Amount of such Holders Automatic Conversion Amount shall be
automatically converted as of the applicable Automatic Conversion Date on
such Automatic Conversion Date at the Automatic Conversion Price, and the
Company shall, on the applicable Automatic Conversion Date, deliver to such
Holders account with DTC such shares of Common Stock issued upon such
Automatic Conversion (subject to the reduction contemplated by the
immediately following sentence and, if applicable, the last sentence of this
Section 6(b)), provided
that there is no Equity Conditions Failure as of such Automatic Conversion
Date and an Automatic Conversion is not otherwise prohibited under any other
provision of this Certificate of Designations. The number of shares of Common Stock
to be delivered upon such Automatic Conversion shall be reduced by the amount
of any Pre-Automatic Conversion Shares delivered to such Holder in connection
with such Automatic Conversion Date. If a Triggering Event occurs during any
applicable Automatic Conversion Measuring Period, then either (i) such Holder
shall return any Pre-Automatic Conversion Shares delivered in connection with
the applicable Automatic Conversion Date or (ii) the Conversion Amount used
to calculate the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price shall be
reduced by the product of (x) the aggregate Conversion Amount of such
Holders Automatic Conversion Amount with respect to such Automatic
Conversion Date multiplied by (y) the Conversion Share Ratio. If there
is an Equity Conditions Failure as of such Automatic Conversion Date or an Automatic Conversion is not otherwise
permitted under any other provision of this Certificate of Designations,
then, at the option of such Holder designated in writing to the Company, such
Holder may require the Company to do any one or more of the following: (i)
the Company shall redeem all or any part designated by such Holder of such
Holders unconverted Automatic Conversion Amount (such designated amount is
referred to as the Designated Redemption
Amount) and the Company shall pay to such Holder within three (3)
days of such Automatic Conversion Date, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, an amount in cash equal to 135% of such Designated
Redemption Amount, and/or (ii) the applicable Automatic Conversion shall be
null and void with respect to all or any part designated by such Holder of
such Holders unconverted Automatic Conversion Amount and such Holder shall
be entitled to all the rights of a holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock with
respect to such designated portion of such Holders Automatic Conversion
Amount; provided, however, the Conversion Price for such designated part of
such unconverted Automatic Conversion Amount shall
|
12
|
|
|
|
|
thereafter be adjusted to
equal the lesser of (A) the Automatic Conversion Price in effect on the date
on which such Holder voided such Automatic Conversion and (B) the Automatic Conversion Price that would be in effect on the date on
which such Holder delivers a Conversion Notice relating thereto as if such date was an Automatic
Conversion Date. In addition, if
there is an Equity Conditions Failure as of such Automatic Conversion Date or
an Automatic Conversion is not
otherwise permitted under any other provision of this Certificate of
Designations, then, at such Holders option, either (I) such Holder
shall return any Pre-Automatic Conversion Shares delivered in connection with
the applicable Automatic Conversion Date or (II) the applicable Designated
Redemption Amount shall be reduced by the product of (X) the Automatic
Conversion Amount applicable to such Automatic Conversion Date multiplied by
(Y) the Conversion Share Ratio. If the Company fails to redeem any Designated
Redemption Amount by the third (3rd) day following the applicable
Automatic Conversion Date by payment of such amount on the applicable
Automatic Conversion Date for any reason (including, without limitation, as a result of (i) a
failure of the Company to have surplus under Section 154 of the DGCL, (ii)
the capital of the Company being impaired under Section 160 of the DGCL,
(iii) such payment causing any impairment of capital of the Company under
Section 160 of the DGCL or (iv) a failure of the Company to have legally
available funds to make such payment), then such Holder shall have the
rights set forth in Section 6(d) as if the Company failed to pay
the applicable Company Redemption Price and all other rights under this
Certificate of Designations (including, without limitation, such failure
constituting a Triggering Event). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 6(b), but subject to 4(e), until the Company delivers Common
Stock representing all of such Holders Automatic Conversion Amount to such
Holder pursuant to an Automatic Conversion, such Holders Automatic
Conversion Amount may be converted by such Holder into Common Stock pursuant
to Section 4. In the event that a Holder elects to convert such
Holders Automatic Conversion Amount prior to the applicable Automatic
Conversion Date as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the
Automatic Conversion Amount so converted shall be deducted from the Automatic
Conversion Amount(s) relating to the applicable Automatic Conversion Date(s)
as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice. If, with respect to an Automatic
Conversion Date, the number of Pre-Automatic Conversion Shares delivered to a
Holder exceeds the number of Post-Automatic Conversion Shares with respect to
such Automatic Conversion Date, then the number of shares of Common
Stock equal to such excess shall constitute a credit against the number of
shares of Common Stock to be issued to such Holder pursuant to Sections 4 and
6(b) hereof and shall reduce the number of shares of Common Stock required to
be actually issued by the Company to such Holder under such sections on a
share-for-share basis until such time as the number of shares that would have
been issued by the Company to such Holder (not taking account of such credit)
equals the amount of such excess.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(c)
Mechanics of Company Redemption. If the Company elects, or is
required to elect, a Company Redemption in accordance with Section 6(a),
then each Holders Automatic Conversion Amount shall be redeemed by the
Company on the applicable Automatic Conversion Date for, and the Company
shall pay to each such Holder on such Automatic Conversion Date by wire
transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to 115% of
the aggregate Conversion Amount of such Holders Automatic
|
13
|
|
|
|
|
Conversion Amount
(the Company Redemption Price).
If the Company fails to redeem a Holders Automatic Conversion Amount on the
applicable Automatic Conversion Date by payment of the Company Redemption Price on such
date for any reason (including, without limitation, as a
result of (i) a failure of the Company to have surplus under Section 154 of
the DGCL, (ii) the capital of the Company being impaired under Section 160 of
the DGCL, (iii) such payment causing any impairment of capital of the Company
under Section 160 of the DGCL or (iv) a failure of the Company to have
legally available funds to make
such payment), then, at the option of such Holder designated in
writing to the Company (any such designation shall be a Conversion Notice
for purposes of this Certificate of Designations), such Holder may require
the Company to convert all or any part of such Holders Automatic Conversion
Amount at the Automatic Conversion Price (determined as of the date of such
designation as if such date were an Automatic Conversion Date). Conversions
required by this Section 6(c) shall be made in accordance with the provisions
of Section 4(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
6(c), but subject to Section 4(e), until the Company Redemption Price is paid
in full, such Holders Automatic Conversion Amount may be converted, in whole
or in part, by such Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 4. In the event that a Holder
elects to convert such Holders Automatic Conversion Amount prior to the
applicable Automatic Conversion Date as set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence, the Automatic Conversion Amount so converted shall be
deducted from the Automatic Conversion Amount(s) relating to the applicable
Automatic Conversion Date(s) as set forth in the applicable Conversion
Notice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(d)
Miscellaneous. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 6
are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
prepayments of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock by the Company, such
redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. In the event of the
Companys redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock under this
Section 6, a Holders damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate
because of the parties inability to predict future interest rates and the
uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment
opportunity for such Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under
this Section 6 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable
estimate of such Holders actual loss of its investment opportunity and not
as a penalty. In the event that the Company does not effect a Company
Redemption for any reason (including, without limitation, as a result of (i)
a failure of the Company to have surplus under Section 154 of the DGCL, (ii)
the capital of the Company being impaired under Section 160 of the DGCL,
(iii) such payment causing any impairment of capital of the Company under
Section 160 of the DGCL or (iv) a failure of the Company to have legally
available funds to make such payment) or an Automatic Conversion (as the case
may be) on the applicable Automatic Conversion Date, then, in addition to all
other rights and remedies available to such Holder, such Holder shall have
the right to void the conversion or redemption (as the case may be) pursuant
to Section 5(d) with the term Automatic Conversion Amount being substituted
for Triggering Event Redemption Price and Automatic Conversion Notice
being substituted for Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder, shall have
all rights of a Holder under Section 5(d) and Section 5(e) as if they were
part of this Section 6 and applied to this Section 6 and the Company shall
pay to such Holder interest at the rate of 2% per month (prorated for partial
months) in respect of the aggregate Conversion
|
14
|
|
|
|
|
Amount of such Holders
Automatic Conversion Amount until converted or redeemed (as the case may be)
in full. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6 to the contrary, if (I) the Company does not have
surplus under Section 154 of the DGCL, (II) the capital of the Company is
impaired under Section 160 of the DGCL, (III) a Company Redemption would
cause any impairment of capital of the Company under Section 160 of the DGCL
or (IV) the Company does not have legally available funds to effect a Company
Redemption, then the Company shall not be entitled to elect or effect a
Company Redemption in lieu of an Automatic Conversion, and if the Company
cannot otherwise effect an Automatic Conversion on the applicable Automatic
Conversion Date in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6, then the
provisions of Section 5 shall apply as foresaid.

7.
Rights Upon Fundamental Transactions.
|
|
|
|
|
(a)
Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be
party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity
assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this
Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 7(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and
substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required
Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to
deliver to each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for
such shares of Series A Preferred Stock a security of the
Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and
substance to this Certificate of Designations, including, without limitation,
having a stated value and dividend rate equal to the stated value and
dividend rate of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the Holders
and having similar ranking to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and
reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and
(ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a
publicly traded corporation whose shares of common stock are quoted on or
listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any
Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be
substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental
Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designations and the other
Transaction Documents referring to the Company shall refer instead to the
Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and
shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of
Designations and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if
such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein and therein. In addition to the foregoing, upon consummation of a Fundamental
Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to each Holder confirmation
that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock at any time after the consummation of such
Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other
securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable
under Sections 8(a) and 13, which shall continue to be receivable
thereafter)) issuable upon the conversion or redemption of the shares of Series
A Preferred Stock prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of
publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity
(including its Parent Entity) which each Holder would have been entitled to
receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had all the shares
of Series A Preferred Stock held by each Holder been converted
|
15
|
|
|
|
|
immediately
prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any
limitations on the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock contained in
this Certificate of Designations), as
adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations. The
provisions of this Section 8 shall apply similarly and equally to successive
Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any
limitations on the conversion or redemption of the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
Fundamental Transaction Redemption Right. No sooner than twenty (20) Trading
Days nor later than ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of a
Fundamental Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such
Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via
facsimile and overnight courier to each Holder (a Fundamental Transaction Notice). At any time during the
period beginning after a Holders receipt of a Fundamental Transaction Notice
or such Holder becoming aware of a Fundamental Transaction if a Fundamental
Transaction Notice is not delivered to such Holder in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence (as applicable) and ending on the later of
twenty (20) Trading Days after (A) consummation of such Fundamental
Transaction or (B) the date of receipt of such Fundamental Transaction
Notice, such Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of
such Holders shares of Series A Preferred Stock by delivering written notice
thereof (Fundamental Transaction
Redemption Notice) to the Company, which Fundamental Transaction
Redemption Notice shall indicate the number of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock such Holder is electing to have the Company redeem. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock subject to redemption
pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a
price equal to the greater of (i) the product of the Fundamental Transaction
Redemption Premium multiplied by the Conversion Amount thereof, (ii) the product
of (X) the Conversion Rate then in effect with respect to the Conversion
Amount thereof multiplied by (Y) the product of (1) the Equity Value
Redemption Premium multiplied by (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading
Day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such
Fundamental Transaction and ending on the date the Company makes the entire
payment required to be made under this Section 7(b) and (iii)
the product of (x) the Equity Value Redemption Premium and (y) the product of
(A) the Conversion Amount thereof multiplied by (B) the quotient determined
by dividing (I) the aggregate cash consideration and the aggregate cash value
of any non-cash consideration per share of Common Stock to be paid to the
holders of the shares of Common Stock upon consummation of such Fundamental
Transaction (any such
non-cash consideration constituting publicly-traded securities shall be
valued at the highest of the Closing Sale Price of such securities as of the
Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental
Transaction, the Closing Sale Price of such securities on the Trading Day
immediately following the public announcement of such proposed Fundamental
Transaction and the Closing Sale Price of such securities on the Trading Day
immediately prior to the public announcement of such proposed Fundamental
Transaction) by (II) the Conversion Price then in effect (the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price).
Redemptions required by this Section 7(b) shall have priority to payments to all other stockholders of the
Company in connection with such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent
redemptions required by this Section 7(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
prepayments of the shares of Series
|
16
|
|
|
|
|
A Preferred Stock by the Company, such
redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 7(b), but subject to Section 4(e), until the applicable
Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price is paid in full to the applicable
Holder, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock submitted by such Holder for
redemption under this Section 7(b) may be converted, in whole or in part, by
such Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 or in the event the
Conversion Date is after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction,
stock or equity interests of the Successor Entity substantially equivalent to
the Companys shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4. In the event of
the Companys redemption of any portion of the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock under this Section 7(b), such Holders damages would be uncertain and
difficult to estimate because of the parties inability to predict future
interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable
substitute investment opportunity for a Holder. Accordingly, any redemption
premium due under this Section 7(b) is intended by the parties to be, and
shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of such Holders actual loss of its
investment opportunity and not as a penalty. The Company shall make payment of the
applicable Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price concurrently
with the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction if a Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice is received prior to the
consummation of such Fundamental
Transaction and within two (2) Trading Days after the Companys receipt of such
notice otherwise (the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Date). In the event that the Company does not
pay the applicable Fundamental
Transaction Redemption Price on the applicable Fundamental Transaction Redemption Date to the applicable Holder for any
reason (including, without limitation, as a result of (i) a failure of the
Company to have surplus under Section 154 of the DGCL, (ii) the capital of
the Company being impaired under Section 160 of the DGCL, (iii) such payment
causing any impairment of capital of the Company under Section 160 of the
DGCL or (iv) a failure of the Company to have legally available funds to make
such payment), then, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to a
Holder, such Holder shall have the right to void the redemption pursuant to
Section 5(d) with the term Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price being
substituted for Triggering Event Redemption Price and Fundamental
Transaction Redemption Notice being substituted for Notice of Redemption at
Option of Holder, shall have all rights of a Holder under Section 5(d) and
Section 5(e) as if they were part of this Section 7(b) and applied to this Section 7(b) and the Company shall pay to such
Holder interest at the rate of 2% per month (prorated for partial months) in
respect of such Holders applicable Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price
until paid in full.
|
8.
Rights Upon Issuance of Purchase Rights and Other Corporate Events.
|
|
|
|
|
(a)
Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 9
below, if at any
time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities
or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata
to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the Purchase Rights), then each Holder will
be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights,
the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such
Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete
conversion of all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (without taking into account
any limitations or
|
17
|
|
|
|
|
restrictions on the convertibility of the shares of Series
A Preferred Stock) held by such Holder immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant,
issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights,
or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of
Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such
Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that such Holders right to
participate in any such Purchase Right would result in such Holder exceeding
the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate
in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares
of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such
Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for such Holder until
such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in such Holder
exceeding the Maximum Percentage).
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any
other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental
Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled
to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for
shares of Common Stock (a Corporate Event),
the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that each Holder will
thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of all the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder (i) in addition to the shares of
Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets
to which such Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of
Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by such Holder upon
the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any
limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the
Series A Preferred Stock contained in this Certificate of Designations) or (ii) in
lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion,
such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common
Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such
amounts as such Holder would have been entitled to receive had the
Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder initially been issued with conversion
rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common
Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the
Conversion Rate. The provisions of this Section 8 shall apply similarly and equally
to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any
limitations on the conversion or redemption of the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock contained in this Certificate of Designations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. Rights Upon
Issuance of Other Securities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(a)
Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever
on or after the Subscription Date the Company issues or sells, or in
accordance with this Section 9(a) is deemed to have issued or sold, any
shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common
Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any
Excluded Securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for
a consideration per share (the New Issuance
Price) less than a price equal to the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such
Conversion Price then in effect is referred to herein as the Applicable Price) (the foregoing a Dilutive Issuance), then, immediately
after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be
reduced to an
|
18
|
|
|
|
|
amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For all purposes of the
foregoing (including, without limitation,
determining the adjusted Conversion Price and consideration per share under
this Section 9(a)), the following shall be applicable:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(i)
Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any
Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is
issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or
exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such
Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock
shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the
Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per
share. For purposes of this Section 9(a)(i), the lowest price per share for
which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such
Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible
Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option shall be equal to (1)
the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received
or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock
upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and
upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable
upon exercise of such Option and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in
such Option for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise
of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option minus (2)
the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any
other Person) upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such
Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security
issuable upon exercise of such Option plus the value of any other
consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder
of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no
further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual
issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon
the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such share of
Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(ii)
Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner
issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for
which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or
exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common
Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by
the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible
Securities for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 9(a)(ii),
the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable
upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof shall be equal to (1) the
lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received
or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon
the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion,
exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security and (y) the lowest
conversion price set forth in such Convertible Security for which one share
of Common Stock is issuable upon
|
19
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conversion, exercise or exchange thereof
minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such
Convertible Security (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such
Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or
receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Convertible
Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further
adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of
such share of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such
Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible
Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the
Conversion Price has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of
this Section 9(a), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the
Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(iii)
Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or
exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if
any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any
Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock
increases or decreases at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the
time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price
which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible
Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price,
additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate (as the
case may be) at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of
this Section 9(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security
that was outstanding as of the Subscription Date are increased or decreased
in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such
Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable
upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been
issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to
this Section 9(a) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an
increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.

(iv)
Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Option or Convertible
Security is issued or deemed issued in connection with the issuance or sale
or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company, together
comprising one integrated transaction, (x) such Option or Convertible
Security (as applicable) will be deemed to have been issued for consideration
equal to the Black Scholes Consideration Value thereof and (y) the other
securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold in such
integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for consideration
equal to the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the
Company minus (II) the Black Scholes Consideration Value of each such Option
or Convertible Security (as applicable). If any shares of Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been
issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed
to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a
consideration other than cash, the amount of
|
20
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
such consideration received by
the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where
such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the
amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be
the average VWAP of such security for the five (5) Trading Day period
immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the
non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is
the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to
be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the
non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities (as the case may be). The fair value of any
consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be
determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties
are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an
event requiring valuation (the Valuation
Event), the fair value of such consideration will be determined
within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) day following
such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected
by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser
shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the
fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(v)
Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or
other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities
or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date
of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other
distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or
purchase (as the case may be).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common
Stock. Without limiting any provision of Section 7 or Section 9(a), if the
Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any
stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more
classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any provision of Section 7
or Section 9(a), if the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date
combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more
classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination
will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section
9(b) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such
subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this
Section 9(b) occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated
hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted
appropriately to reflect such event.
|
21
|
|
|
|
|
(c)
Other Events. In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary) shall take
any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if
applicable, would not operate to protect any Holder from dilution or if any
event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 9 but
not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation,
the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other
rights with equity features), then the Board shall in good faith determine
and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to
protect the rights of such Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant
to this Section 9(c) will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise
determined pursuant to this Section 9, provided further that if such Holder
does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests
hereunder against such dilution, then the Board and such Holder shall agree,
in good faith, upon an independent investment bank of nationally recognized
standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be
final and binding and whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company.

|
10. Authorized
Shares.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(a)
Reservation. The Company shall initially reserve out of its
authorized and unissued Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock
equal to 100% of the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount of
each share of Series A Preferred Stock as of the Initial Issuance Date. So
long as any of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the
Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of
its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 100% of
the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary
to effect the conversion of all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
then outstanding, provided that at no time shall the number of shares of
Common Stock so available be less than the number of shares required to be
reserved by the previous sentence (without regard to any limitations on
conversions contained in this Certificate of Designations) (the Required
Amount). The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved
for conversions of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and each increase
in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the
Holders based on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by
each Holder on the Initial Issuance Date or increase in the number of
reserved shares (as the case may be) (the Authorized
Share Allocation). In the event a Holder shall sell or otherwise
transfer any of such Holders shares of Series A Preferred Stock, each
transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holders Authorized
Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any
Person which ceases to hold any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
allocated to the remaining Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, pro
rata based on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then held by
such Holders.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 10(a) and
not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient
number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to satisfy its
obligation to have available for issuance upon conversion of the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock at least a number of shares of
|
22
|
|
|
|
|
Common Stock equal to the Required Amount (an
Authorized
Share Failure), then the Company shall immediately take all
action necessary to increase the Companys authorized shares of Common Stock
to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve and have available
the Required Amount for all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then
outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as
soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share
Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of
such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders
for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common
Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each
stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit
its stockholders approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common
Stock and to cause its Board to recommend to the stockholders that they
approve such proposal.
|
11.
Voting Rights. Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall have no voting rights, except as required by law (including without
limitation, the DGCL) and as expressly provided in this Certificate of
Designations. To the extent that under the DGCL the vote of the holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class or series as applicable,
is required to authorize a given action of the Company, the affirmative vote or
consent of the holders of all of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock,
voting together in the aggregate and not in separate series unless required under
the DGCL, represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is presented or
by written consent of all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (except as
otherwise may be required under the DGCL), voting together in the aggregate and
not in separate series unless required under the DGCL, shall constitute the
approval of such action by both the class or the series, as applicable. Subject
to Section 4(e), to the extent that under the DGCL holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on a matter with holders of shares of
Common Stock, voting together as one class, each share of Series A Preferred
Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast that number of votes per share
as is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which it is then
convertible (subject to the ownership limitations specified in Section 4(e)
hereof) using the record date for determining the stockholders of the Company
eligible to vote on such matters as the date as of which the Conversion Price
is calculated. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
written notice of all stockholder meetings or written consents (and copies of
proxy materials and other information sent to stockholders) with respect to
which they would be entitled by vote, which notice would be provided pursuant
to the Companys bylaws and the DGCL).
12.
Liquidation, Dissolution, Winding-Up. Without limiting any other provision
of this Certificate of Designations, upon any Liquidation Event, each of the
Holders shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company available
for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital or from earnings
available for distribution to its stockholders (the Liquidation Funds), after and subject to the payment in
full of all amounts required to be distributed to the holders of any Senior
Preferred Stock upon such Liquidation Event, but before any payment shall be
made to the holders of Junior Stock, an amount in cash with respect to each
share of Series A Preferred Stock then held by such Holder equal to the greater
of (x) the sum of (i) the Stated Value thereof plus (ii) all accrued and unpaid
Dividends thereon and (y) the amount per share such Holder would receive if
such Holder converted such share of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock
immediately prior to such Liquidation Event. If upon any such
23
Liquidation Event, the remaining assets of the Company available for
the distribution to its stockholders after payment in full of amounts required
to be paid or distributed to holders of Senior Preferred Stock shall be
insufficient to pay each Holders and each holder of shares of Parity Stock the
full amount to which they shall be entitled, then the Holders and the holders
of shares of Parity Stock, shall share ratably in any distribution of the
remaining assets of the Company in proportion to the respective amounts which
would otherwise be payable in respect to the shares held by them upon such
distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to said shares were paid
in full. To the extent necessary, the Company shall
cause such actions to be taken by each of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to
the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event to be
distributed to the Holders in accordance with this Section 12. All the
preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section 12 shall be
paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment
of any amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Company
to the holders of shares of Junior Stock in connection with a Liquidation Event
as to which this Section 12 applies.
13.
Participation. In addition to any adjustments
pursuant to Section 9, the Holders shall, as holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, be
entitled to receive such dividends paid and distributions made to the holders
of shares of Common Stock to the same extent as if such Holders had converted
each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by each of them into shares of
Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion herein or
elsewhere) and had held such shares of Common Stock on the record date for such
dividends and distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be
made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of shares of
Common Stock (provided, however, to the extent that a Holders right to
participate in any such dividend or distribution would result in such Holder
exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to
participate in such dividend or distribution to such extent (or the beneficial
ownership of any such shares of Common Stock as a result of such dividend or
distribution to such extent) and such dividend or distribution to such extent
shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of such Holder until such time, if
ever, as its right thereto would not result in such Holder exceeding the
Maximum Percentage).
14.
Vote to Change the Terms of or Issue Series A Preferred Stock. In addition
to any other rights provided by law, except where the vote or written consent
of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by another
provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, without first obtaining the
affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written
consent without a meeting of the Required Holders, voting together as a single class, the
Company shall not: (a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision
to, its Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any certificate of
designations or articles of amendment of any series of shares of preferred
stock, if such action would adversely alter or change in any respect the
preferences, rights, privileges or powers, or restrictions provided for the
benefit, of the Series A Preferred Stock, regardless of whether any such action shall be by
means of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or by merger,
consolidation or otherwise; (b) increase or decrease (other than by conversion)
the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; (c) without limiting
any provision of Section 2, create or authorize (by reclassification or
otherwise) any new class or series of shares that has a preference over or is
on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends or the distribution of
assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; (d)
purchase, repurchase or
24
redeem any shares of
capital stock of the Company junior in rank to the Series A Preferred Stock
(other than pursuant to equity incentive agreements (that have in good faith
been approved by the Board) with employees giving the Company the right to
repurchase shares upon the termination of services); (e) without limiting any
provision of Section 2, pay dividends or make any other distribution on any
shares of any capital stock of the Company junior in rank to the Series A
Preferred Stock; (f) issue any shares of Series A Preferred Stock other than
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement; (g) without limiting any
provision of Section 17, whether or not prohibited by the terms of the Series A
Preferred Stock, circumvent a right of the Series A Preferred Stock; (h) (and
the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not), directly or
indirectly, sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose
of any assets or rights of the Company or any Subsidiary owned or acquired
whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, other than
(1) sales, leases, licenses, assignments, transfers, conveyances and other
dispositions of such assets or rights by the Company and its Subsidiaries that,
in the aggregate, do not have a fair market value in excess of $100,000 in any
twelve (12) month period, (2) sales of inventory in the ordinary course of
business and (3) leases and licenses of intellectual property of the Company and
its Subsidiaries to unaffiliated third parties that are in the ordinary course
of business, provided that no such lease or license shall result in a lease or
license of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries; or (i) (and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to
not), directly or indirectly, incur or guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any
Indebtedness (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement).
15.
Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of any certificates representing shares of Series A Preferred
Stock (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated
below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or
destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the applicable Holder to the
Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation of the certificate(s), the Company shall execute and
deliver new certificate(s) of like tenor and date.
16.
Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive
Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations shall be cumulative
and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of
Designations and any of the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity
(including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief),
and no remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the
provisions giving rise to such remedy. Nothing herein shall limit any Holders
right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company
to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designations. The Company
covenants to each Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning
this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or
provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the
computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by a Holder and shall
not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of
the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach
by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders
and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company
therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach,
each Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to
an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic
loss and without
25
any bond or other security being required. The Company
shall provide all information and documentation to a Holder that is requested
by such Holder to enable such Holder to confirm the Companys compliance with
the terms and conditions of this Certificate of Designations (including,
without limitation, compliance with Section 9(a)).
17.
Noncircumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that
the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws
or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any
of the terms of this Certificate of Designations, and will at all times in good
faith carry out all the provisions of this Certificate of Designations and take
all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holders. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Certificate of Designations,
the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common
Stock receivable upon the conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock
above the Conversion Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such
actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock
upon the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and (iii) shall, so
long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, take all action
necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued
shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the maximum number of shares of Common
Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding (without regard to any
limitations on conversion contained herein).
18.
Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a
Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such
power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any
other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in
writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. This
Certificate of Designations shall be
deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all Holders and shall not be
construed against any Person as the drafter hereof.
19.
Notices. The Company shall provide each Holder of Series A
Preferred Stock with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to the
terms of this Certificate of Designations, including in reasonable detail a
description of such action and the reason therefor. Whenever notice is required
to be given under this Certificate of Designations, unless otherwise provided
herein, such notice must be in writing and shall be given in accordance with
Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall give written notice
to each Holder (i) promptly following any adjustment of the Conversion Price,
setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such
adjustment and (ii) at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the
Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or
distribution upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any grant, issuances,
or sales of any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock,
warrants, securities or other property to all holders of shares of Common Stock
as a class or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any
Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided, in each case,
that such information shall be made known to the public prior to, or
simultaneously with, such notice being provided to any Holder.
26
20.
Transfer of Series A Preferred Stock. A Holder may transfer some or all of
its shares of Series A Preferred Stock without the consent of the Company.
21.
Series A Preferred Stock Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such
other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the
Holders), a register for the Series A Preferred Stock, in which the Company
shall record the name, address and facsimile number of the Persons in whose
name the shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been issued, as well as the
name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the Person in whose
name any Series A Preferred Stock is registered on the register as the owner
and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly made transfers.
22.

written consent of the Companys stockholders or at a duly called meeting of
the Companys stockholders, all in accordance with the applicable rules and
regulations of the DGCL. This provision is intended to comply with the
applicable sections of the DGCL permitting stockholder action, approval and
consent affected by written consent in lieu of a meeting.
|
|
|

23.
Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the

applicable Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price (as the case may be), the
Company or the applicable Holder (as the case may be) shall submit the disputed
determinations or arithmetic calculations (as the case may be) via facsimile

rise to such dispute to the Company or such Holder (as the case may be) or (ii)
if no notice gave rise to such dispute, at any time after such Holder learned
of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute (including, without
limitation, as to whether any issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale was
an issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of Excluded Securities). If such
Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or
calculation within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or
arithmetic calculation (as the case may be) being submitted to the Company or
such Holder (as the case may be), then the Company shall, within two (2)
Business Days, submit via facsimile (a) the disputed determination of the
Conversion Price, the Closing Bid Price, the Closing Sale Price or fair market
value (as the case may be) to an independent, reputable investment bank
selected by such Holder or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the
Conversion Rate, the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price or the
applicable
27
Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price (as the case may be) to an

Companys independent, outside accountant). The Company shall cause at its expense
the investment bank or the accountant (as the case may be) to perform the
determinations or calculations (as the case may be) and notify the Company and
such Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time
it receives such disputed determinations or calculations (as the case may be).
Such investment banks or accountants determination or calculation (as the
case may be) shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error or
fraud.
24. No Redemption Right. Except as otherwise expressly
contemplated by this Certificate of Designations (including, without
limitation, Sections 5, 6(c) and 7), the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall not be redeemable either at the Companys option or at the option of any of the Holders at any time.
