Common use of Terms of the Preferred Stock Clause in Contracts

Terms of the Preferred Stock. Dividends The holders of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for payment of dividends, quarterly dividends in respect of each share of Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (x) a rate per annum of 8% of the Liquidation Preference (as defined below) and (y) the amount of dividends declared during such period on the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock is then convertible. Dividends on preferred shares will be cumulative and accrued and unpaid dividends will compound quarterly, on the basis of a 365-day year and the number of days elapsed. The Company may not declare, pay or set aside for payment, any dividend on the shares of Common Stock or other securities ranking junior to the Preferred Stock or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, any such securities (“Junior Securities”) unless all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock (including for the then-current interest period) have been paid in full. Liquidation Preference Upon a liquidation or similar event with respect to Company, the holders of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, in preference to payment on Junior Securities, an amount with respect to each share of Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (i) the sum of (A) the original purchase price per share of Preferred Stock (as appropriately adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and similar events, the “Original Issue Price”) plus (B) all accrued and unpaid dividends (as appropriately adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and similar events, the “Liquidation Preference”) and (ii) the amount distributable to holders of shares of Common Stock in such event (assuming the conversion of all Preferred Stock, at the then-applicable Conversion Price). In the case of any merger, reorganization, sale of a majority of the equity, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets, of the Company, or similar transaction, the proceeds of such transaction will be distributed in the same manner as in a liquidation. Conversion Each share of Preferred Stock will be convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into the number of shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) obtained by dividing the Liquidation Preference by the then-applicable Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” will initially be equal to the Original Issue Price and will be subject to adjustment as described below under “Anti-Dilution”. Anti-Dilution The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment in the event that the Company issues additional equity securities or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, equity securities (“Equity Securities”) (other than pursuant to certain equity compensation arrangements approved by the Board and other customary carve-outs (“Excluded Transactions”)) at a per-share purchase price less than the then-applicable Conversion Price. The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment on a broad-based (i.e., taking into account all issued and outstanding options) weighted average basis, which takes into account issuances of additional Equity Securities at prices less than the applicable Conversion Price. The Conversion Price will also be appropriately adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and similar events. Mandatory Conversion The Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at the then-applicable Conversion Price upon the closing of a firmly underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock with gross proceeds of at least $30 million and an initial per-share public offering price (after underwriting commissions and expenses) of no less than the Liquidation Preference (a “QPO”). Redemption at the Option of the Holder At any time following the fifth anniversary of the Closing, holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock will be entitled to cause the Company to redeem all of the outstanding Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) the Liquidation Preference or (ii) the amount that would be distributable to holders of shares of Common Stock if the Company were to be liquidated immediately prior to such redemption (assuming the conversion of all Preferred Stock, at the then-applicable Conversion Price). To the extent the Company does not then have funds legally available for the redemption of all Preferred Stock to be redeemed, the Company will redeem the greatest number of shares of Preferred Stock then legally permitted and will redeem the remaining Preferred Stock as soon as legally permitted. Redeemed Preferred Stock will be cancelled and will cease to be outstanding. So long as the Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company shall not redeem or repurchase any Junior Securities. Voting Rights Preferred Stock will vote together with the shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) as a single class on all matters.
