(g) realizes that (i) the purchase of the Purchased Shares and the Conversion Shares is a long-term investment; (ii) the purchaser of the Purchased Shares must bear the economic risk of investment for an indefinite period of time because the Purchased Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, none of such securities can be sold unless they are subsequently registered under said laws or exemptions from such registrations are available, and there can be no assurance that any such registration will be effected at any time in the future; (iii) the Purchaser may not be able to liquidate the Purchaser’s investment in the event of an emergency or pledge any of such securities as collateral for loans; and (iv) the transferability of the Purchased Shares is restricted and (A) requires the written consent the Company and (B) legends will be placed on the certificate(s) representing the Purchased Shares referring to the applicable restrictions on transferability;
(h) has not retained any finder, broker, agent, financial advisor, Purchaser Representative (as defined in Rule 501(h) of Regulation D of the Securities Act) or other intermediary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from any liability for any compensation to any such intermediary retained by the Purchaser and the fees and expenses of defending against such liability or alleged liability; and
(i) has relied upon its own financial advisors and counsel in determining the merits of investing in the Purchased Shares and understands that the Purchased Shares may never be publicly traded on any securities exchange.
4.3 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the Purchaser further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Purchased Shares or the Conversion Shares unless and until:
(a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or
(b) the Purchaser shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and, at the expense of the Purchaser or its transferee, with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such securities under the Securities Act.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required: (i) for any transfer of any Purchased Shares or Conversion Shares in compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or (ii) for any transfer of any Purchased Shares or Conversion Shares by a Purchaser that is a partnership or a corporation to (A) a partner of such partnership or stockholder of such corporation, (B) a controlled affiliate of such partnership or corporation, (C) a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date hereof, (D) the estate of any such partner or stockholder, or (iii) for the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession by any Purchaser to his or her spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors or any trust for any of the foregoing; provided that in each of the foregoing cases the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 4 (other than Section 4.2(a)) to the same extent as if the transferee were an original Purchaser hereunder, or with consent of the Company.
4.4 Reliance On Business Plan. The Purchaser understands that the business plan, or confidential private placement memorandum, if any, previously distributed by the Company and reviewed
by the Purchaser was incomplete and was intended only to give the Purchaser a general idea of the Company’s future intentions. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company reserves the right to deviate from the plans set forth therein and that the Company is in the early stages of development and therefore its future plans are highly speculative. The Purchaser acknowledges that any projections contained in the business plan or confidential private placement memorandum: (a) were based on various assumptions by management, that may have changed or which may prove to be not correct and that such assumptions are inherently subject to significant economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Company and its management, and (b) were based upon assumptions with respect to future business decisions that are subject to change. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser was encouraged to consult with the management of the Company at greater length and in more depth concerning the Company’s future business plans and has done so to the extent desired.

4.4 Non-Cash Consideration.

(b) If any assets of the Corporation distributed to shareholders in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation are securities then the value of such assets shall be determined by the Board of Directors in good faith:
(i) The method of valuation of securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability shall be as follows:
(A) unless otherwise specified in a definitive agreement for the acquisition of the Corporation, if the securities are then traded on a national securities exchange or listed on the Nasdaq National Market (or a similar national quotation system), then the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the distribution; and
(B) if (A) above does not apply but the securities are actively traded over-the-counter, then, unless otherwise specified in a definitive agreement for the acquisition of the Corporation, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the thirty (30) calendar day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the distribution; and
(C) if there is no active public market, then the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(ii) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in Section 4.4(b)(i)(A)(B) or (C) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
5. Voting Rights.
5.1 Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. Each bolder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock could be converted pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 below as of the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters or, if no such record date is established, the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited.

(a) amend or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock; or
(b) create any other class of capital stock of the Corporation having rights, preferences or privileges senior to, or on parity with, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock.
6. Conversion Rights. The outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Common Stock as follows:
6.1 Optional Conversion.
(a) At the option of the holder thereof, each share of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time, or from time to time, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as provided herein.
(b) Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock who elects to convert the same into shares of Common Stock shall surrender the certificate(s) therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of shares of Preferred Stock being converted. Thereupon the Corporation shall promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder a certificate(s) for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled upon such conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to fee close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate(s) representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock on such date. If a conversion election under this Section 6.1 is made in connection with an underwritten offering of the Corporation’s securities, or registration in connection with a reverse merger, pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (which underwritten offering does not cause an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 6.2 to take place), the conversion may, at the option of the holder tendering shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of the Corporation’s securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the holders making such election who are entitled to receive Common Stock upon conversion of their Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of the Corporation’s securities in fee offering.
6.2 Automatic Conversion.
(a) Each share of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, as provided herein, upon the earlier of (i) the closing of an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement in connection with an initial public offering with gross proceeds of $25,000,000 or more, or (ii) the date which is twelve months following the consummation of a reverse merger of the Company with a public company that files reports wife the SEC under fee Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the shares are sellable under Rule 144, or (iii) the date of effectiveness of a registration statement of all of the common shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, provided, however, to the extent that any underlying shares cannot be registered then the Series B Preferred stock shall convert only to fee extent of the registered convertible portion or (iv) upon the vote of the holders of not Jess than a sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3rd%) of fee then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, each voting as a separate class.
(b) Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Section 6.2(a) (i), (ii), or (iii), the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall be converted into Common Stock automatically without the need for any further action by fee holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares arc surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless fee certificates evidencing such shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent feat such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. Upon the occurrence of such automatic conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, fee holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for fee Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock surrendered were convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred.
6.3 Conversion Price. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible in accordance with Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 above into the number of shares of Common Stock which results from dividing the Original Issue Price paid for each such share of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock (as the case may be) by the conversion price that is in effect at the time of conversion (the “Conversion Price”). The initial Conversion Price shall be the Original Issue Price paid for the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock (as the case may be). The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided below. Following each adjustment of the Conversion Price, such adjusted Conversion Price shall remain in effect until a further adjustment of such Conversion Price hereunder.
6.4 Adjustment Upon Common Stock Event. Upon the happening of a Common Stock Event (as hereinafter defined), the Conversion Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such Common Stock Event, be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Common Stock Event by a fraction:
(a) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such Common Stock Event, and
(b) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after such Common Stock Event.
The Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of each subsequent Common Stock Event. As used herein, the term the “Common Stock Event” shall mean at any time or from time to time after the date on which the first share of Series A Preferred Stock is issued by the Corporation (the “Original Issue Date”), (i) the issue by the Corporation of additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (ii) a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock.
6.5 Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. If at any time, or from time to time, after the Original Issue Date, the Corporation pays a dividend or makes another distribution to the holders of the Common Stock payable in securities of the Corporation, other than an event constituting a Common Stock Event, then in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion thereof, the amount of securities of the Corporation which they would have received had their Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event (or such record date, as applicable) and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event (or such record date, as applicable) to and including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this Section 6 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock or with respect to such other securities by their terms.
6.6 Adjustment for Reclassification. Exchange and Substitution. If at any time, or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than by a Common Stock Event or a stock dividend, reorganization, merger, or consolidation provided for elsewhere in this Section 6), then in any such event each holder of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.
6.7 Reorganizations, Mergers and Consolidations. If at any time, or from time to time, after the Original Issue Date, there is a reorganization of the Corporation (other than a recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 6) or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation (except an event which is governed under Section 4.3 in which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock have not elected to make Section 4.3 inapplicable), then, as a part of such reorganization, merger or consolidation, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock thereafter shall be entitled to receive, upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation, or of such successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such reorganization, merger or consolidation. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 6 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock after the reorganization, merger or consolidation to the end that the provisions of this Section 6 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent to the provisions hereof as may be practicable. This Section 6.7 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, mergers and consolidations, Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6, if any reorganization, merger or consolidation is approved by the vote of stockholders required by Section 5 hereof, then such transaction and the rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Common Stock pursuant to such reorganization, merger or consolidation will be governed by the documents entered into in connection with such transaction and not by the provisions of this Section 6.7.
6.8 Sale of Shares Below Conversion Price.
(a) No Adjustment of Conversion Price. No adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of any Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are convertible shall be made with respect to such series, by adjustment in the applicable Conversion Price thereof, or by reason of issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock (as defined in Section 6.8(c)(i): (i) unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 6.4 for issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation) is less than the applicable Conversion Price of the Series A or Series B Preferred Stock, as the case may be, in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to, the issue of such Additional Shares of Common Stock, or (ii) if, prior to such issuance, the Corporation receives written notice from the holders of more than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3rd%) of the then outstanding shares of each such series agreeing (voting separately) that no such adjustment shall be made as the result of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(b) Adjustment Formula.
(i) If at any time, or from time to time, after the Original Issue Date of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation issues or sells, or is deemed by the provisions of this Section 6.8 to have issued or sold, Additional Shares of Common Stock, otherwise than in connection with a Common Stock Event as provided in Section 6.4, a dividend or distribution as provided in Section 6.5, a recapitalization, reclassification or other change as provided in Section 6.6, or a reorganization, merger or consolidation as provided in Section 6.7, for an Effective Price (as defined in Section 6.8(c)(v)) that is less than the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (or deemed issue or sale), then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be reduced, as of the close of business on the date of such issue or sale to the price obtained by multiplying such Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock by a fraction:
(A) The numerator of which shall be the sum of (I) the number of Common Stock Equivalents Outstanding (as hereinafter defined) immediately prior to such issue or sale of Additional Shares of Common Stock, plus (2) the quotient obtained by dividing:
(x) the Aggregate Consideration Received (as hereinafter defined) by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or sold (or deemed so issued and sold), by
(y) the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale; and
(B) The denominator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of Common Stock Equivalents Outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or sold (or deemed so issued and sold).
(ii) If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation issues or sells, or is deemed by the provisions of this Section 6.8 to have issued or sold, Additional Shares of Common Stock, otherwise than in connection with a Common Stock Event as provided in Section 6.4, a dividend or distribution as provided in Section 6.5, a recapitalization, reclassification or other change as provided in Section 6.6, or a reorganization, merger or consolidation as provided in Section 6.7, for an Effective Price (as defined in Section 6.8(c)(v)) that is less than the Conversion Price for the Series B Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (or deemed issue or sale), then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be reduced, as of the close of business on the date of such issue or sale to the price paid for each share of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or sold (or deemed so issued or sold).
(c) Certain Definitions. For the purpose of making any adjustment required under this Section 6.8:
(i) The “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation, whether or not subsequently reacquired or retired by the Corporation, other than:
(A) any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock;
(B) any shares of Common Stock (or Rights or Options (as defined in clause (vi)) granted or issued hereafter by the Board of Directors to employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants or advisers to, the Corporation or any subsidiary pursuant to incentive agreements, stock purchase or stock option plans, stock bonuses or awards, warrants, contracts or other arrangements that arc approved by the Board of Directors pursuant to the Stock Option Plan as defined herein, provided however, (other than 100,000 shares (in the form of options or other awards)) that any such awards under the Stock Option Plans are at a price of not less than the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock;

(ii) The “Aggregate Consideration Received” by the Corporation for any issue or sale (or deemed issue or sale) of securities shall (A) to the extent it consists of cash, be computed at the gross amount of cash received by the Corporation before deduction of any underwriting or similar commissions, compensation or concessions paid or allowed by the Corporation in connection with such issue or sale and without deduction of any expenses payable by the Corporation, (B) to the extent it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value of that property as determined in a manner consistent with Section 4.4, and (C) if Additional Shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or Rights or Options to purchase either Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other assets of the Corporation for a consideration which covers both, be computed as the portion of the consideration so received that may be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors to be allocable to such Additional Shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or Rights or Options.
(iii) The “Common Stock Equivalents Outstanding” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to the sum of (A) all shares of Common Stock of the Corporation that are outstanding at the time in question, plus (B) all shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock or other Convertible Securities that are outstanding at the time in question, plus (C) all shares of Common Stock of the Corporation that are issuable upon the exercise of Rights or Options that are outstanding at the time in question assuming the full conversion or exchange into Common Stock of all such Rights or Options that are Rights or Options to purchase or acquire Convertible Securities.

(d) Deemed Issuances. For the purpose of making any adjustment to the Conversion Price of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock required under this Section 6.8, if the Corporation issues or sells any Rights or Options or Convertible Securities and if the Effective Price of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Rights or Options or the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (computed without reference to any additional or similar protective or antidilution clauses) is less man the Conversion Price then in effect for a series of Preferred Stock, then the Corporation shall be deemed to have issued, at the time of the issuance of such Rights, Options or Convertible Securities, that number of Additional Shares of Common Stock that is equal to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of such Rights, Options or Convertible Securities upon their issuance and to have received, as the Aggregate Consideration Received for the issuance of such shares, an amount equal to the total amount of the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for the issuance of such Rights or Options or Convertible Securities, plus, in the case of such Rights or Options, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the exercise in full of such Rights or Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) upon the conversion or exchange thereof; provided that:
(i) if the minimum amounts of such consideration cannot be ascertained, but are a function of antidilution or similar protective clauses, men the Corporation shall be deemed to have received the minimum amounts of consideration without reference to such clauses;
(ii) if the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of Rights or Options or the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities is reduced over time or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of specified events other than by reason of antidilution or similar protective adjustments, then the Effective Price shall be recalculated using the figure to which such minimum amount of consideration is reduced; and
(iii) if the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Rights or Options or the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities is subsequently increased, then the Effective Price shall again be recalculated using the increased minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Rights or Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
No further adjustment of the Conversion Price, adjusted upon the issuance of such Rights or Options or Convertible Securities, shall be made as a result of the actual issuance of shares of Common Stock on the exercise of any such Rights or Options or the conversion or exchange of any such Convertible Securities. If any such Rights or Options or the conversion rights represented by any such Convertible Securities shall expire without having been fully exercised, then the Conversion Price as adjusted upon the issuance of such Rights or Options or Convertible Securities shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect had an adjustment been made on the basis that the only shares of Common Stock so issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, that were actually issued or sold on the exercise of such Rights or Options or rights of conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and such shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation for the granting of all such Rights or Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration received for issuing or selling all such Convertible Securities actually converted or exchanged, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) on the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, provided that such readjustment shall not apply to prior conversions of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock
6.9 Certificate of Adjustment.

6.10 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon any conversion of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional share to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay the holder cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Common Stock’s fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors as of the date of conversion.
6.11 Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
6.12 Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be given to the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed given upon the earlier of actual receipt or deposit in the United States mail, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or delivery by a recognized express courier, fees prepaid, addressed to each holder of record at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Corporation.
6.13 No Impairment. The Corporation shall not avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock against impairment.
