CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS OF THE
SERIES B CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK OF
SPLASH BEVERAGE GROUP, INC.

 

I, Robert Nistico, hereby certify that I am the Chief Executive Officer of Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (the “Company”), a corporation organized and existing under the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”), and further do hereby certify:

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is authorized within the limitations and restrictions stated in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, to provide by resolution or resolutions for the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions as the Company’s Board of Directors shall fix by resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance thereof duly adopted by the Board of Directors; and

 

WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Board of Directors, pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, to authorize and fix the terms of a series of preferred stock and the number of shares constituting such series;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:

 

TERMS OF SERIES B CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

 

1.       Designation and Number of Shares. There shall hereby be created and established a series of preferred stock of the Company designated as “Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock” (the “Series B”). The authorized number of Series B shall be 150,000 shares. Each share of Series B shall have a par value of $0.001. Each share of Series B shall have a stated value equal to $100 (the “Stated Value”).

 

2.       Ranking. All shares of capital stock of the Company, both common stock and any other series of preferred stock, shall be junior in rank to all shares of Series B with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (collectively, the “Junior Stock”). The rights of all such shares of capital stock of the Company shall be subject to the rights, powers, preferences and privileges of the Series B. In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, the Series B shall maintain their relative rights, powers, designations, privileges and preferences provided for herein and no such merger or consolidation shall result inconsistent therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, in no circumstance will Series B have any rights subordinate or otherwise inferior to the rights of shares of any Junior Stock (as defined below).

3.       Conversion.

 

(a)       Holder’s Conversion Right. Subject to all of the provisions of Section 3 at any time or times on or after the Shareholder Approval Date and ending two years after such Shareholder Approval Date, each holder of a share of Series B (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) shall be entitled to convert any whole number of Series B into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock accordance with Section 3(c) at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). Such shares of Common Stock are sometimes referred to as “Conversion Shares.”

 

(b)       Conversion Rate. The number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of each share of Series B into a number of whole shares equal to the quotient derived by dividing (x) the Stated Value by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined below) (the “Conversion Rate”). The “Conversion Price” shall initially be $6.00 per share. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided below including in Section 4(b), and for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment to the Conversion Price as provided below shall result in a proportionate increase to the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series B may be converted pursuant to the Conversion Rate.

 

No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the conversion of any Series B. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share.

 

(c)       Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of each share of Series B shall be conducted in the following manner:

 

(i)       Holder’s Conversion. To convert a share of Series B into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock, on any date (a “Conversion Date”), a Holder shall deliver (whether via email or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York, N.Y. time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion of the share(s) of Series B subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company. No ink-original Conversion Notice shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Conversion Notice form be required. The calculations and entries set forth in the Conversion Notice shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. To effect conversions of Series B, a Holder shall not be required to physically surrender the certificate(s) representing the Series B to the Company unless all of the Series B represented thereby are so converted, in which case, 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 B (the “Series B Certificates”) so converted as aforesaid.

 

(ii)       Company’s Response. On or before the first Trading Day following the date of receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice, the Company shall (1) provided that (x) the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and (y) shares of Common Stock to be so issued are otherwise eligible for resale pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled to such Holder’s or its designee’s

 

2

 


balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (2) if either of the immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y) are not satisfied, 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 Series B represented by the Series B Certificate(s) submitted for conversion pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii) is greater than the number of Series B being converted, then the Company shall if requested by such Holder, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Trading Days after receipt of the Series B Certificate(s) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a new Series B Certificate representing the number of Series B not converted.

 

(iii)       Record Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Series B shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

 

(iv)       Maintaining Records. Each Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Series B 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 Series B upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of such Holder establishing the number of Series B 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 Series B, the number of Series B represented by such certificate may be less than the number of Series B stated on the face thereof.

 

(v)       Legend. The transfer records for the Series B, or if issued in certificate form, each certificate for Series B shall bear the following legend:

 

ANY TRANSFEREE OR ASSIGNEE OF THIS SHARE OF SERIES B [CERTIFICATE] SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THECOMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THE SHARES OF SERIES B [THIS CERTIFICATE]. THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY [THE TRANSFER RECORDS] [THIS CERTIFICATE] MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK STATED ON THE [TRANSFER RECORDS] [FACE HEREOF] PURSUANT TO SECTION 15 OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY [THE TRANSFER RECORDS] [THIS CERTIFICATE].

 

(d)       Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp, transfer (but only in respect of the registered holder thereof), transfer agent fees, issuance and other similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of Series B.

(e)     Limitation on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate of Designations, the Series B held by a Holder shall not be convertible by such Holder, and the Company shall not effect any conversion of any Series B held by such Holder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that such Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or 9.9% as originally selected by the Holder (the “Maximum Percentage” or the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”) of the Common Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether the Series B 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 Series B, or of the Company to issue shares of Common Stock to such Holder, pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 3(e) with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility or issuance (as the case may be). For purposes of this Section 3(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 Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this Section 3(e) shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(e) to correct this Section 3(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 3(e) shall apply to a successor holder of Series B. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one 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. By written notice to the Company, any Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder sending such notice and not to any other Holder.

 

4.       Adjustments.

 

(a)       Adjustment of Conversion Rate upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. With respect to any unconverted shares, if the Company at any time on or after the Initial Issuance 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 Rate for any unconverted shares in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately adjusted by having the Conversion Rate multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any

 

4

 


treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.. With respect to any unconverted shares, if the Company at any time on or after the Initial Issuance 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 Rate for any unconverted shares in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately adjusted by having the Conversion Rate multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4(a)shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

 

(b)       Adjustment Based on VWAP. If 80% of the average of the five Trading Day VWAP calculated as of the date the Conversion Notice is transmitted to the Company is lower than the Conversion Price, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to such 80% price with respect to such conversion. Provided, however, such Conversion Price shall not be lower than $1.25, subject to adjustment under Section 4(a).

 

(c)       Rights Upon Fundamental Transactions. 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 in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(c) 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 Series B in exchange for such Series B 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 dividend rate equal to dividend rate of the Series B held by the Holders and having similar ranking to the Series B, 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 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 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 of the Series B 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 Section 4(a), which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the conversion of the Series B prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) that each Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had all the Series B held by each Holder been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations

 

5

 


on the conversion of the Series B contained in this Certificate of Designations), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations. The provisions of this Section 4 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Series B. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 4(c) regardless of whether (i) the Company has sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock for the issuance of the Conversion Shares and/or (ii) a Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to the Initial Issuance Date.

 

(d)       Calculations. All calculations under this Section shall be made to the nearest cent or nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 4, the nearest number of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

(e)        Notice to Holder.

 

(i)        Adjustment to Conversion Rate. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 4, the Company shall promptly give notice to the Holder setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Conversion Shares and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment (the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section, upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance or other reduction of the Conversion Rate, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the reduced Conversion Rate regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Conversion Rate in the Conversion Notice.

 

(ii)        Notice to Allow Exercise by the Holders. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock are converted into other securities, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, the Company shall deliver to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the books of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert these Series B during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein

(f)       Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 4(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares 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 such Holder’s Series B (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) 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 shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that such Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in such Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, 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 not to exceed twelve (12) months as its right thereto would not result in such Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provided Holder complies with all of the other obligations of a beneficiary of the Purchase Rights that would not result in Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

 

(g)      Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as the Series B is outstanding, if the Company declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), then, in each such case, each Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that such Holder would have participated therein if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Holder’s Series B (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that any Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in such Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of such Holder until such times, not in excess of twelve (12) months, as its right thereto would not result in such Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

5.       Authorized Shares.

 

(a)       Reservation. Beginning on the Shareholder Approval Date, the Company shall reserve out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Certificate of Designations, as it may be reduced following conversions or otherwise changed pursuant to this Certificate of Designations. Following the Shareholder Approval Date, so long as any of the Series B 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 Series B, as of any given date, 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 Series B issued or issuable, 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 Series B and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of Series B held by each Holder on the Shareholder Approval 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 Holder’s Series B, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Series B shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Series B, pro rata based on the number of Series B then held by such Holders.

 

(b)       Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 5(a) and not in limitation thereof, at any time following the Shareholder Approval Date while any of the Series B 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 Series B at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all reasonable action necessary to increase the Company’s 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 Series B 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 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 commercially reasonable efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its Board of Directors to recommend to the stockholders of the Company that they approve such proposal.

 

8

 

 

6.       No Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Series B shall not have any voting rights and shall not be entitled to vote on any matters brought before the stockholders of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holders of the Series B shall have the exclusive right to vote on amendments to the Series B.

 

7.       Liquidation, Dissolution, Winding-Up. In the event of a Liquidation Event, the Holders shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its stockholders (the “Liquidation Funds”), before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any of shares of Junior Stock, an amount per Series B equal to the amount per share such Holder would receive if such Holder converted such Series B into Common Stock immediately prior to the date of such payment, provided that if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the Holders and holders of shares of parity stock, then each Holder and each holder of parity stock shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder and such holder of parity stock as a liquidation preference, in accordance with their respective certificate of designations (or equivalent), as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all Holders of Series B and all holders of shares of parity stock. 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 7. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section 7 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 7 applies. The Company shall mail written notice of any such Liquidation, not less than 45 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each Holder.

 

8.       Dividends. Prior to payment of any dividends or distributions (other than stock dividends or stock splits) to holders of Common Stock or other series of preferred stock, the Holders of the Series B, shall be entitled to receive annual dividends equal to 12% of the Stated Value per share payable quarterly in arrears in cash or in shares of Common Stock at the sole discretion of the Company. Provided, however, to the extent that a Holder’s right to participate in any such dividend would result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such dividend 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). Dividends shall be paid to record holders of the Series B as of the last day of each calendar quarter with the Board of Directors determining the payment date for such dividends.

 

9.       Company Redemption Right. The Company shall have the option, at any time or times beginning on the two-year anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date, to redeem all or any portion of the Series B then outstanding, at a price per share of Series B equal to the Stated Value (the “Redemption Price”). In order to effect a redemption hereunder, the Company shall give the Holders 30 days’ advance written notice of such redemption. During such 30-day advance notice period, the Holders will have the right to convert their Series B in accordance with this Certificate of Designations. At the end of the 30-day advance notice period, all shares of Series B subject to such redemption for which the Holders did not timely deliver a Conversion Notice shall be promptly surrendered by the Holders and delivered to the Company, and the Company shall deliver to the Holders the applicable Redemption Price for such shares of Series B.

 

9

 

 

10.       Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Series B shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Series B and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Conversion Notice and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.

 

11.       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 Series B (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.

 

12.       Non-circumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Articles 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 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 Series B and (ii) shall, so long as any Series B 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 Series B, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of the Series B then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein).

 

13.       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.

 

10

 

 

14.       Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be (i) personally served, (ii) delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, next business day delivery, or (iii) transmitted by hand delivery, or email, addressed as set forth below or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice.
