Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference in the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company equal to the stated value plus any accrued and unpaid dividends on such stock. Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are also entitled to convert such shares at any time and from time, at the option of such holder, into a number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the stated value divided by a conversion price. The conversion price is equal to 60% of the dollar volume-weighted average price for shares for the Company’s Class A common stock for the three trading days immediately preceding the date of the conversion.
