Except as provided in this Section 4(c), Annual Dividends on any share of Preferred Stock will cease to accumulate from and after the Fundamental Transaction Date or Conversion Date or Call Date, as applicable.
6. The following is added as a new Section 7, and the subsequent sections of the Certificate of Designations are renumbered accordingly, with all cross references in the Certificate of Designations also being appropriately adjusted:
Section 7. Right of the Corporation to Call Outstanding Shares
(a) Call Option of Corporation. The Corporation may, at any time and from time to time, call for conversion all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and convert them into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Call Option” and such shares of Common Stock are sometimes referred to hereinafter as the “Issued Common Call Shares”) as hereinafter provided. The Corporation may convert each outstanding share of Preferred Stock for which the Call Option is exercised into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the sum of (1) the Liquidation Preference and (2) if the Corporation has not otherwise paid the Accrued Dividends to the Holder, the Accrued Dividends on such share as of the Call Date, divided by (B) the Conversion Price of such share in effect at the time of conversion.
(b) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the call of any shares of Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Preferred Stock subject to call is held by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon call thereof shall be computed on the basis of the sum of (A) the aggregate Liquidation Preference and (B) the aggregate Accrued Dividends as of the Call Date on all shares of Preferred Stock so subject for which the Corporation has not otherwise paid such Accrued Dividends. If the call of any share or shares of Preferred Stock results in a fractional share of Common Stock issuable after application of the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall pay a cash amount in lieu of issuing such fractional share in an amount equal to the value of such fractional interest multiplied by the 10-Day VWAP of a share of Common Stock determined on the Call Date.
(c) Partial Call. In the case of any call of only part of the shares of Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares to be called shall be selected either on a pro rata basis (as nearly as practicable without creating fractional shares) or by lot. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors) shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms and conditions on which shares of Preferred Stock shall be called from time to time. If the Corporation shall have issued certificates for Preferred Stock and fewer than all shares represented by any certificates are called, new certificates shall be issued representing the uncalled shares without charge to the Holders thereof.
(d) Manner of Exercise.
(i) If the Corporation elects to exercise its Call Option, it shall mail a written notice (a “Call Notice”) to each holder of record of the Preferred Stock by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the address indicated for each such holder in accordance with Section 11(d). Any Call Notice mailed in this manner shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not actually received, but failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to any Holder of shares of Preferred Stock designated for call shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the call of any other shares of Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the shares of Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form through DTC or any other similar facility, notice of call may be given to the Holders of Preferred Stock at such time and in any manner permitted by such facility. The Call Notice shall specify (1) the Conversion Price, (2) the date fixed for the exchange of certificates (such date to be not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such notice) (the “Call Date”), (3) the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be called and, if less than all the shares of Preferred Stock held by such Holder are to be called, the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be called from such Holder or the method for determining such number, (4) instructions for the exchange of stock certificates, (5) the amount of Accrued Dividends as of the Call Date and that Accrued Dividends on such shares will cease to accrue on and after the Call Date, and (6) that the Issued Common Call Shares shall be issued in the same name or names in which the shares of Preferred Stock are held by such Holder.
(ii) The Corporation shall instruct the Transfer Agent to update the Register on the Call Date to reflect the shares of Common Stock held by such Holder as a result of the exercise of the Call Option and shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to such Holder (A) evidence of such issuance reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and (B) cash for any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion settled as provided in Section 7(b). If so required by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent, the Holder shall provide a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation or the Transfer Agent, duly executed by the Holder or its legal representative.
(iii) Until the Call Date with respect to any share of Preferred Stock for which the Corporation has exercised its Call Option has occurred, such share of Preferred Stock will remain outstanding and will be entitled to all of the powers, designations, preferences and other rights provided herein, including that such share shall (A) accrue and accumulate Annual Dividends and participate in Participating Dividends pursuant to Section 4 and (B) entitle the Holder thereof to the voting rights provided in Section 9.
(e) NASDAQ Conversion Limits; Solicitation of Stockholder Approval. Notwithstanding Section 7(a) of this Certificate of Designations, the Corporation may only exercise its Call Option with respect to a given Holder, and thereafter issue shares of Common Stock to such Holder upon conversion of the applicable called Preferred Stock to the extent (and only to the extent) that such conversion would not result in a given Holder (including its predecessors-in-interest) beneficially owning a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the applicable Threshold Amount, unless such excess ownership has been approved by the Corporation’s stockholders (including at any special meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders) in accordance with the stockholder approval requirements of NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635 (or any equivalent rule or requirement of the applicable exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted).
7. Former Section 7(a)(iv) (Adjustments to Conversion Price—Automatic Adjustment Upon Reset Dates) is struck.
8. Former Section 7(d) (Adjustments to Conversion Price—Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
(d) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments. All adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be calculated to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent. No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required if such adjustment would be less than $0.01; provided, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 8(d) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, further that on any Conversion Date or Call Date adjustments to the Conversion Price will be made with respect to any such adjustment carried forward and which has not been taken into account before such date.
