The occurrence of a Liquidation Event shall not preclude the holders of Series A Preferred Stock from exercising their conversion rights as provided herein.

 

IV. Conversion at the Option of the Holder

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (a) the Stated Value thereof, by (b) the then effective Conversion Price (as defined below).

 

4
 

 

B.          The “Conversion Price” shall be Forty Dollars ($40.00), subject to adjustments from time to time pursuant to the provisions of Article IV.C below.

 

C.          The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(a)          Adjustment to Conversion Price Due to Stock Split, Stock Dividend. Etc. If at any time when the Series A Preferred Stock is issued and outstanding, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased or decreased by a stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or other similar event, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately adjusted.

 

(b)          Adjustment Due to Reorganization. Subject to the provisions of Article III, if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered elsewhere by this Article IV), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of one (1) share of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Article IV with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Article IV (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(c)          Other Securities Offerings. In the event that (1) at any time following the original date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation sells or issues any Common Stock or securities or options convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for, Common Stock, other than shares or options issued pursuant to any employee stock option plan adopted by the Corporation or pursuant to a Qualified Initial Public Offering (as defined below), and (2) the effective sales price of the Common Stock with respect to such transaction (including the effective or maximum conversion, exercise or exchange price) (“Other Price”) is less than the Stated Value of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall issue and allot to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, at no additional cost, such number of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock as is necessary so that the average weighted cost per share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall equal the Other Price. For purposes of determining the average weighted cost per share, the calculation shall include any additional shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock due to any adjustment in the Conversion Price thereof pursuant to Article IV.C(c)(I) or IV.C(c(2) above.

D.          In order to convert Series A Preferred Stock into full shares of Common Stock, a holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall: (i) submit a written notice of conversion to the Corporation; and (it) surrender the original certificates representing the Series A Preferred Stock being converted (the “Preferred Stock Certificates”), duly endorsed, to the office of the Corporation.

 

(a)          Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Preferred Stock Certificates representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Preferred Stock Certificates), if mutilated, the Corporation shall execute and deliver new Preferred Stock Certificate(s) of like tenor and date.

 

(b)          Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon the surrender of certificates as described above together with a Notice of Conversion, the Corporation shall issue and, within two (2) business days after such surrender (or, in the ease of lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, after provision of agreement and indemnification pursuant to subparagraph (a) above), deliver to or upon the order of the holder (i) that number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted as shall be determined in accordance herewith and (ii) a certificate representing the balance of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock not converted, if any,

 

(c)          Conversion Date. The “Conversion Date” shall be the date specified in the Notice of Conversion. The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such securities as of the Conversion Date and all rights with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the shares of Common Stock or other securities or property issuable on such conversion and except that the holders preferential rights as a holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall survive to the extent the corporation fails to deliver such securities.

 

E.          A number of shares of the authorized but unissued Common Stock sufficient to provide for the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at the then current Conversion Price shall at all times be reserved by the Corporation, free from preemptive rights, for such conversion or exercise.

 

6
 

 

V. Voting Rights

 

A.          The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote on all matters to which the holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote as provided by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which it is then convertible using the record date for the taking of such vote of stockholders as the date as of which the Conversion Price is calculated. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of all stockholder meetings or written consents (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to stockholders), which notice must be provided pursuant to the Corporation’s bylaws and the DGCL in order for the proposed stockholder action to be valid.

 

B.          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 Corporation, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present or by written consent of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (except as otherwise may be required under the DGCL) shall constitute the approval of such action by the class.

 

VI. Dividends

 

In the event the Coloration declares, pays or sets aside any dividends with respect to the shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, whether payable in cash or other property, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive (a) in the case of a dividend on any class or series that is convertible into Common Stock, an allocable share of such dividend as if all shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock of the Corporation on the record date for the declaration of such dividend or (b) in the case of a dividend on any class or series that is not convertible into Common Stock, at a rate per share of Series A Preferred Stock determined by (A) dividing the amount of the dividend payable on each share of such class or series of capital stock by the original issuance price of such class or series of capital stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to such class or series) and (B) multiplying such fraction by an amount equal to the Stated Value (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock); provided that, if the Corporation declares, pays or sets aside, on the same date, a dividend on shares of more than one class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, the dividend payable to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Article VI shall be calculated based upon the dividend on the class or series of capital stock that would result in the highest Series A Preferred Stock dividend.

 

7
 

 

VII. Preemptive Rights

 

In the event the Corporation issues additional equity securities of any class or series, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to maintain; his or her proportionate beneficial ownership interest by purchasing, on the same terms and conditions on which the additional equity securities are to be issued, a percentage of the newly issued securities equal to the percentage determined by dividing the number of shares Common Stock held by such holder of Series A Preferred Stock, determined as if all shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock, by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the issuance of the additional equity securities, determined as if all .shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock (“Pro-Rata Shared”). In addition, should any bolder of Series A Preferred Stock choose not to purchase all of its Pro-Rata Shares, the remaining holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to purchase the remaining Pro-Rata Shares. The Corporation shall provide the holders of Series A Preferred Stock reasonable prior notice and reasonable time and opportunity to exercise their preemptive rights set forth in this Article VII.

 

VIII. Protective Provisions
