Company may give written notice to St. Xxxxxx (the “Preferred Call Notice”) that it has elected
to require that St. Xxxxxx make an investment of up to $600,000 in the Company by purchasing
newly-issued shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) which have
the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth on the Certificate of Designation
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Designation”). The number of shares of
Preferred Stock to be issued to St. Xxxxxx (the “Preferred Issuance”) shall be equal to 600,000
divided by the VWAP for the common stock for the thirty calendar days immediately prior to the
date of issuance of the shares; provided that if there has occurred a Triggering Event, the VWAP
shall be based on the thirty calendar days prior to the earliest of the Triggering Events. The
Company shall concurrently with the giving of notice of the exercise of the Preferred Call take
such actions as are necessary to adopt and file the Certificate of Designation which shall
authorize a sufficient number of shares of Preferred Stock for both the Preferred Issuance and
additional shares for the payment
13
of dividends in kind and shall reserve a sufficient number of Common Shares for issuance
upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares. The Preferred Shares shall (i) be convertible into
Common Shares at any time; (ii) receive a quarterly dividend at a rate of three percent (3%)
annually to be paid in cash or in additional Preferred Shares at the Company’s election; and
(iii) be non-voting except for matters that affect the class of Preferred Shares. Any Conversion
Shares shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the Put
Option and Call Option.

connection with an acquisition or strategic transaction approved by a majority of the Board
provided that if Company and St. Xxxxxx determine in good faith that due to market conditions,

any Common Shares of any other Person shall be registered. The Company shall request the
Registration Statement to remain effective during the Registration Period.
SECTION 9.2 Other Registrations. Prior to the SEC Effective Date, the Company shall
not file any other registration statement or any amendment thereto with the SEC under the
Securities Act, or request the acceleration of the effectiveness of any other registration

COVENANTS
COVENANTS
SECTION 10.1 Covenants of Company. Company agrees that, during the period beginning
on the Effective Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Put Exercise Period
or (ii) the Company’s payment in full of the Put Obligations:
(a) Company shall not enter into any agreement that would interfere with this
Agreement (e.g. a loan agreement that restricts equity redemptions or dividends);
(b) Company shall not permit its unrestricted cash to fall below twenty percent (20%)
of Shareholders Equity (as measured in the Company’s audited financial statements for
Fiscal Year 2010). Company shall provide St. Xxxxxx with a pro forma estimate of
Shareholders Equity as of June 30, 2010. For purposes of this paragraph, the proceeds of
St. George’s purchase of Preferred Shares pursuant to ARTICLE VIII shall not be included
within Shareholders’ Equity. Company shall provide a certificate to St. Xxxxxx within ten
(10) days after the end of each calendar month certifying that Company is in compliance
with the covenant contained in this paragraph; provided that the certificate shall be based
on the Company’s pro forma estimate of Shareholders Equity as of June 30, 2010 (which shall
be updated each month), until the audited financial statements for Fiscal Year 2010 have
been prepared.
(c) In addition to SECTION 10.1(b) above, as restrictions are lifted from any
restricted cash on the Company’s balance sheet as reported in its quarterly report for the
quarter ending December 31, 2009, an additional amount of cash shall be reserved for the
purpose of honoring the Put Option and the Preferred Put Option, if and when the options
are exercised by St. Xxxxxx; provided that the cash reserved pursuant to SECTION 10.1(b)
together with the cash reserved pursuant to this SECTION 10.1(c) shall not exceed the Put
Obligations; and provided that the cash reserved pursuant to SECTION 10.1(b) together with
the cash reserved pursuant to this SECTION 10.1(c) shall be equal to, but shall not be
required to exceed, 65% of the Put Obligations as of May 31, 2010, 85% of the Put
Obligations as of June 30, 2010 and 100% of the Put Obligations as of July 31, 2010. The
certificate provided in SECTION 10.1(b) shall also certify that these percentages have been
met. If Shares are acquired after the Effective Date that are subject to either the Put
Option or Preferred Put
15
Option, then St. Xxxxxx shall notify the Company in writing (with the filing of Form
4’s with the SEC constituting sufficient notice), and the Company shall have two months to
set aside sufficient cash to satisfy the Put Obligations with respect to these Shares, and
the Company shall certify as to compliance with the forgoing in its monthly compliance
certificates referred to in SECTION 10.1(b). After achieving compliance with the cash set
aside requirements in each instance, the Company shall thereafter maintain sufficient cash
to satisfy 100% of the Put Obligations until the earlier of the expiration of the Put
Exercise Period or the Company’s payment in full of the Put Obligations. If St. Xxxxxx
elects in writing not to exercise the Put Option and the Preferred Put Option, or if the
Put Option and the Preferred Put Option expire in accordance with their terms, the Company
shall be permitted to use this cash for any other operating purpose.
(d) After any Put Commencement Date, the Company shall maintain sufficient liquidity
and cash resources to be able to honor the Put Option and the Preferred Put Option in
compliance with Section 345 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act of 1972, as amended,
or any other applicable successor statute, or the applicable statutes of any state in which
Company reincorporates; and
(e) In lieu of maintaining the covenant contained in SECTION 10.1(b), the Company may
provide a letter of credit in the amount of the Put Price that names St. Xxxxxx as the
account beneficiary, and in a form acceptable to St. Xxxxxx exercising reasonable judgment,
or otherwise establish a segregated and dedicated account containing an amount equal to the
Put Price that is specially and exclusively reserved for the benefit of St. Xxxxxx if and
when it elects to exercise the Put Option and the Preferred Put Option.
SECTION 10.2 Cooperation; Further Assurances.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Parties shall
use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to
be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to
consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including
providing information and using reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary or appropriate
waivers, consents and approvals, and effecting all necessary registrations and filings.
(b) In case at any time before or after any Put Closing Date or Call Closing Date any
further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the
proper officers and directors of the Parties shall execute such further documents
(including assignments, acknowledgments and consents and other instruments of transfer) and
shall take such further action as shall be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes
of this Agreement, in each case to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law.
(c) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each of the Parties shall use its
reasonable efforts to cause the fulfillment at the earliest practicable
16
date of all of the conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) Insofar as any applicable law or regulation changes after the Effective Date in a
manner that prevents St. Xxxxxx from realizing the benefit of its bargain hereunder (e.g.,
change in securities laws affecting registration statement or sales), the Company shall
cooperate with St. Xxxxxx to deliver to St. Xxxxxx the benefit of its bargain as closely as
possible to the original terms contained herein.
SECTION 10.3 Public Disclosure. With respect to any public disclosure required to
be made by any Party of the existence of this Agreement, the contents hereof or the transactions
contemplated hereby, such Party shall give the other Party at least one (1) Business Day to
review its proposed form of public disclosure.
SECTION 10.4 Observation Rights. From the Effective Date until the earlier of (i)
the expiration of the Put Exercise Period or (ii) the Company’s payment in full of the Put
Obligations, the Company shall give a designee of St. Xxxxxx copies of all notices, minutes,
consents, and other material that it provides to its Directors at or about the same time as
delivered to the Directors. A designee of St. Xxxxxx shall have the right to attend, in a
non-voting observer status, all meetings of the Board and all meetings of any committees of the
Board. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Company reserves the right
to withhold any information and to exclude a St. Xxxxxx observer from any meeting or portion
thereof (so long as the Company notifies such observer of such withholding or exclusion) if
access to such information or attendance at such meeting would (i) in the reasonable judgment of
the Company’s outside counsel, prevent the members of the Board from engaging in attorney-client
privileged communication with counsel to the material detriment of the Company or (ii) in the
good faith determination of a majority of the members of such Board, result in a conflict of
interest with St. Xxxxxx. The Company will withhold information and restrict attendance at
meetings only under the circumstances set forth in the preceding sentence and will notify St.
Xxxxxx in advance at least one (1) Business Day of any action taken by its Board at any meeting
at which attendance by such observer is so restricted (except to the extent that such
notification would jeopardize the privilege that the Company was seeking to preserve or would
result in the conflict that the Company was seeking to avoid). St. Xxxxxx and its designee shall
be subject to all of the Company’s inside trading policies.
SECTION 10.5 Covenants of St. Xxxxxx. St. Xxxxxx covenants and agrees with the
Company that during the period beginning on the Effective Date and terminating on the Put
Commencement Date:
(a) It shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company, upon Company’s
request, in identifying possible merger or acquisition opportunities for the Company
without charging any fees in connection with these services; provided, however, that St.
Xxxxxx makes no assurances that any possible merger or acquisition candidate will be
acceptable to the Company’s Board of Directors or its shareholders (and the Company shall
not use this SECTION 10.5(a) as a defense to excuse any performance on the Company’s part
of its obligations under this Agreement).
17
(b) It shall withdraw, as of the Effective Date, the nominations it made for the
Company’s Board as indicated in the preliminary proxy on Schedule 14(a) and 13D-A filed on
or around January 22, 2010; and
(c) It shall not, directly or indirectly, alone or with its Affiliates, acquire more
than thirty five percent (35%) of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, provided that
the foregoing limitation shall not include the Conversion Shares.
ARTICLE XI.
DEFAULT
DEFAULT
SECTION 11.1 Default. Company will be deemed in default under this Agreement upon
the occurrence of any of the following (each an “Event of Default”):
(a) Company breaches this Agreement, and such breach is not cured by Company within
ten (10) days of receipt of notice of breach;
(b) Company becomes insolvent, or admits in writing its inability to pay debts as they
become due, a petition under any section or chapter of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 or
any similar law or regulation is filed by or against Company (provided, however, that if
the filing of a Bankruptcy petition is involuntary, Company shall have 30 days from the
date of filing to have said petition dismissed), or Company shall make an assignment for
the benefit of creditors;
(c) A judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction against Company in
excess of two million dollars ($2,000,000) which is not stayed or discharged within sixty
(60) days, and the Company does not have sufficient cash on hand to honor the Put Option
and Preferred Put Option;
(d) The Company becomes delinquent in its periodic reporting requirements under
Section 13 of the Exchange Act that has the effect to bar St. Xxxxxx from reliance on Rule
144 of the Securities Act or to preclude the use of an effective Registration Statement;
(e) The Common Shares are delisted from a national securities exchange, NASDAQ, or
fail to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board; or
(f) Following the exercise of the Preferred Call, there is an Event of Default under
the Certificate of Designations.
SECTION 11.2 Notice of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, St.
Xxxxxx shall send a notice of default to Company. The notice of default shall include the
default date. If the default is not cured within any applicable cure
18
period, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided at law or in equity or
elsewhere in this Agreement, the Put Commencement Date shall accelerate to the later of (x) the
default date specified in the notice pursuant to SECTION 5.3 if there is no cure period or (y)
the last date of any applicable cure period. Additionally, as of the date of an Event of Default
which is not cured within any applicable cure period, the voting agreement and proxy set forth in
SECTION 3.1 and SECTION 3.2, and the standstill agreement set forth in SECTION 4.1, shall
terminate.
SECTION 11.3 Make-Whole Shares. If the Company does not honor the Put Option or the
Preferred Put Option in full because the Company has insufficient cash or is otherwise under a
restraint that prevents the Company’s compliance, then, St. Xxxxxx shall be deemed to be a
creditor of Company in the amount of the outstanding balance of the Put Obligations, together
with interest on the Put Obligations at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. With
respect to the Put Shares that have not been honored for payment, those Shares shall be deemed
redeemed by the Company as of the Put Closing Date and St. Xxxxxx shall have no power or
authority to control the disposition or voting of those Shares. At St. George’s option, St.
Xxxxxx xxx elect to draw down tranches of Common Shares, subject to the limitation below, for
sale in the market and will apply the net proceeds (after commissions) to the outstanding balance
of the Put Obligations, plus interest. Insofar as the net proceeds of any tranche of Common
Shares is insufficient to extinguish the Put Obligations, St. Xxxxxx xxx request from time to
time further tranches of Common Shares until Company either pays the Put Obligations in cash or
the net proceeds from the sale of Common Shares are sufficient to extinguish the Put Obligations.
Each tranche of Common Shares requested by St. Xxxxxx shall not exceed 9.9% of the issued and
outstanding Common Shares of Company. The Company shall electronically deliver the tranche
shares to an account designated by St. Xxxxxx within 3 Business Days of the Company’s receipt of
the request. All Common Shares issued to St. Xxxxxx following Company’s failure to honor the Put
Option or the Preferred Put Option pursuant to this SECTION 11.3 shall be referred to as
“Make-Whole Shares”. On the Put Closing Date, the Put Shares shall be deemed to be redeemed
ARTICLE XII.
INDEMNIFICATION
INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 12.1 Indemnification. Company hereby unconditionally agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless St. Xxxxxx and each of its Affiliates, members, managers, directors, officers,
agents, successors and assigns (each a “St. Xxxxxx Party”; collectively, “St. Xxxxxx Parties”) to
the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, costs, disbursements and liabilities (including
amounts paid in settlement) (collectively, “Losses”) and expenses, including, without limitation,
all fees and expenses of each of the St. Xxxxxx Parties’ counsel and each of the St. Xxxxxx
Parties’ reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually and reasonably incurred by each of the St.
Xxxxxx Parties or on their behalf in connection with the investigation of any pending or
threatened claims or the preparation for, the defense of, or the furnishing of evidence in, any
pending or threatened litigation, claim, investigation or proceedings,
19
in which any of the St. Xxxxxx Parties is an actual or threatened party or participant
thereto (collectively, “Expenses”) based upon or arising out of any issue or controversy that is
in any way related to any claim, cause of action, allegation, action, suit, proceeding,
litigation, arbitration or investigation brought by or against any St. Xxxxxx Party at law or in
equity, or before or by any federal, state, municipal, foreign or other governmental department,
commission, board, agency, instrumentality or authority by any third party (other than Company)
relating to Board action or inaction while St. Xxxxxx or its designee has observer status to the
Board as provided in SECTION 10.4. Expenses will be reimbursed or advanced when and as incurred
or within thirty (30) days upon submission by any of the St. Xxxxxx Parties of statements to
Company. Company shall not be required to indemnify a St. Xxxxxx Party to the extent that a
court or tribunal finds that it is unlawful or against public policy to do so.
SECTION 12.2 Indemnification Procedure. If any litigation, investigation or
proceeding is commenced as to which a St. Xxxxxx Party proposes to demand indemnification
pursuant to SECTION 12.1, the St. Xxxxxx Party will notify Company with reasonable promptness;
provided, however, that any failure by the St. Xxxxxx Party to notify the Company will relieve
the Company from its obligations only to the extent the Company has been prejudiced by such
failure or delay. The St. Xxxxxx Party will have the right to retain counsel (and local counsel,
if appropriate) of its own choice to represent it (but subject to the Company’s prior approval,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Company will pay the reasonable fees,
expenses and disbursements of such counsel within thirty (30) days upon submission by the St.
Xxxxxx Party of detailed statements describing the services performed, applicable hourly rates
and amounts charged. The Company retains the right to participate in the defense of such
litigation, investigation or proceeding as to which the St. Xxxxxx Party seeks indemnification
through counsel of the Company’s choice (the cost of which will be paid by the Company) and the
St. Xxxxxx Party will reasonably cooperate with such counsel and the Company (including, keeping
the Company reasonably informed of the defense, unless cooperation conflicts with the St. Xxxxxx
Party’s own interests). Company will be liable for any settlement of any claim made against a
St. Xxxxxx Party; provided that St. Xxxxxx Party shall not settle a claim without the written
consent of Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Company shall not settle a
claim brought against a St. Xxxxxx Party without the written consent of the St. Xxxxxx Party,
which consent will not be unreasonably withheld unless the settlement solely involves the payment
of monetary damages by Company.

EXHIBIT A
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS,
PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS
of
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
of
UNITED AMERICAN HEALTHCARE CORPORATION
PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS
of
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
of
UNITED AMERICAN HEALTHCARE CORPORATION
(Pursuant to Section 450.1302 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act)
United American Healthcare Corporation (the “Company”), a corporation organized and existing
under the Michigan Business Corporation Act, as amended (the “Michigan Act”), hereby certifies
that, pursuant to authority granted by Article III of the Restated Articles of Incorporation of the
Corporation, as amended, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 450.1302 of the Michigan
Act, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) has adopted
the following resolutions, at a meeting duly called and held on ___, :
RESOLVED, that there is hereby established a series of Preferred Stock (the “Preferred
Stock”), no par value per share, and the designation and certain terms, powers, preferences and
relative, participating and other rights and certain qualifications, limitations and restrictions
thereon, are hereby fixed as follows:
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise immediately defined are defined in Section 10.
1. Designation and Amount. The series of Preferred Stock shall be designated as Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”) and the number of shares
so designated shall be plus shares to enable the Company to satisfy all dividends
that may accrue hereunder.
2. Stated Value. The stated value of each issued share of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock shall be deemed to be $1.00 (the “Stated Value”).
3. Dividends. When, as and if declared by the Board of Directors and to the extent permitted
by the Michigan Business Corporation Act, the Company shall pay preferential dividends to the
holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in the form of cash or additional shares
of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, at the Company’s election. Regardless of whether
dividends are paid, dividends on each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding
from time to time shall accrue on a quarterly basis at the rate of 3% per annum on the Stated Value
of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid
dividends calculated from the Original Issue Date of such share through the most recently preceding
Quarterly Dividend Reference Date. The “Quarterly Dividend Reference Dates” are each March 1, June
1, September 1 and December 1 occurring after the Original Issue Date and on or prior to the
Conversion Date (as defined below). Dividends shall be paid only as and when declared by the Board
of Directors to holders of record at the close of the
A-1
Quarterly Dividend Reference Dates with respect to which the dividend has been declared and
cash or certificates for such dividend shall be distributed to such holders within ten (10)
calendar days after such record date as the Board of Directors may establish. Dividends shall
begin to accrue on shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued as dividends as of the day
following the record date for their issuance regardless of the actual distribution of a
certificate. All dividends that have been accrued but not declared shall continue to accrue and
accumulate as provided herein. All dividends that have been accrued and declared shall be paid as
provided herein and dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue as provided herein. Dividends
under this Section 3 shall cease to accrue on the Conversion Date. The number of shares to be paid
as a dividend pursuant to this Section 3 shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. All shares
of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued in payment of dividends hereunder shall be deemed
issued and outstanding on the applicable record date, and will thereupon be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of all liens and charges. The
Company shall at all times reserve for issuance 100,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock to enable it to satisfy all dividends that may accrue hereunder. Dividends paid in shares of
Series A Convertible Stock shall be delivered to the Holder within 30 days of each Quarterly
Dividend Reference Date in either physical certificate form or via electronic delivery.
4. Voting.
a) Voting Rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by
law, the holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to
voting rights. Upon conversion of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock by
holders thereof into Common Stock, holders (to the extent of their Common Stock) shall be
entitled to voting rights pertaining to the Common Stock received upon such conversion.
b) Limitations on Corporate Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section 4.a) above, as long as any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are
outstanding, the Company shall not, without the written consent or affirmative vote of the
holders of no-less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the then-outstanding
Stated Value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock consenting or voting (as the case
may be) as a separate class from the Common Stock, either directly or by amendment, merger,
consolidation or otherwise:
i) amend its articles of incorporation in any manner that adversely affects
the rights of the Holders;
ii) alter or change adversely the voting or other powers, preferences, rights,
privileges, or restrictions of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock contained
herein or alter or amend this Certificate of Designation;
iii) increase the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock or Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock or reinstate or issue any other
A-2
series of preferred stock; provided that the Company may increase the
authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock in connection with, and may
reinstate or issue, Junior Stock;
iv) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any Junior
Stock or any shares pari passu with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock;
v) directly or indirectly pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution
in respect of, any Junior Stock, or set aside any monies for the purchase or
redemption (through a sinking fund or otherwise) of any Junior Stock or any shares
pari passu with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock;
vi) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption
or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation (as defined in Section 5) senior to or
otherwise pari passu with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; or
vii) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
5. Liquidation, Dissolution, or Winding-Down. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), the holders of
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive out of
the available assets of the Company an amount on such date equal to the Stated Value of the shares
of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends as of
such date, and any declared but unpaid dividends as of such date (collectively, the “Liquidation
Preference”). Such payment shall be made before any payment shall be made or any assets
distributed to the holders of any class or series of the Common Stock or any other class or series
of the Company’s capital stock ranking junior as to liquidation rights to the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock. If upon any Liquidation the assets available for payment of the Liquidation
Preference are insufficient to permit the payment to the holders of the shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock of the full preferential amounts described in this paragraph, then all
the remaining available assets shall be distributed pro rata among the holders of the then
outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
6. Conversion. The holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the conversion
rights as follows.
a) Right to Convert. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be
convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the Original Issue
Date, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such
number of fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing
the Stated Value per share by the
A-3
Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. The “Conversion Price” per
share shall be equal to the Stated Value per share, subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 7. Shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock or
redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.
b) Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Company with the form of
conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”). Each Notice of
Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be
converted, the number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock owned prior to the
conversion at issue, the number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock owned
subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be
effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Holder delivers such
Notice of Conversion to the Company (such date, the “Conversion Date”). The Notice of
Conversion shall be deemed to have been delivered (i) five (5) Business Days after being
mailed by registered mail (return receipt requested and postage prepaid) to the recipient,
(ii) one (1) Business Day after being sent by overnight courier (receipt confirmation
requested) or (iii) if sent by facsimile transmission, on the date of such transmission,
with a confirming copy deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid. If no
Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the
date that such Notice of Conversion to the Company is deemed delivered hereunder. To
effect conversions of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be
required to surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock to the Company unless all of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the
certificate representing such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock promptly
following the Conversion Date at issue.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) if any conversion would
result in the issuance by the Company of more the 20% of the issued and outstanding shares
of Common Stock (prior to taking into account the conversion), and, (ii) if at the time of
conversion, any exchange where the Common Stock is listed or quoted requires shareholder
approval prior to the issuance of more than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares, then,
prior to the issuance of any Common Stock that would exceed the 20% threshold, a
shareholders meeting shall be convened to vote upon whether the Company may issue the
shares above the 20% threshold.
c) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon
conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Any fractional shares to which the
holder would otherwise be entitled shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Whether or
not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the
basis of the total number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock the holder is
at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion.
A-4
d) Mechanics of Conversion.
i) Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than five (5) Trading
Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall
deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon
the conversion of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. If in the case
of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to
or as directed by the applicable Holder by the fifth (5th) Trading Day after the
Conversion Date, the applicable Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice
to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or
certificates, to rescind such Conversion Notice by written notice to the Company,
in which event the Company shall promptly return to such Holder any original Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Company and such Holder
shall promptly return any Common Stock certificates representing the shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock tendered for conversion to the Company.
ii) Obligation Absolute; Damages. The Company’s obligation to issue and
deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, any waiver
or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment
against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such
Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company; provided, however,
that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action
that the Company may have against such Holder. If the Company fails to deliver to
a Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section on the fifth
(5th) Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, it
shall be deemed to be an Event of Default, as defined below.
e) Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will
at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common
Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights
of Persons other than the Holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, not less
than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and
conditions in the Securities Purchase Agreement) be issuable upon the conversion of all
outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company covenants that all
shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
7. Certain Adjustments.
A-5
a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a
distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock
or any other Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any
shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend
on, this Series A Convertible Preferred Stock); (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a larger number of shares; (C) combines (including by way of a reverse stock
split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or (D) issues,
in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital
stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which
the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before
such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7.a)
shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
re-classification.
b) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all
of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender
offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to
which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other
securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the
Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such
case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock, the Holders shall have the right to receive, for each
Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to
the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities,
cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such
Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of
any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately
adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate
Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental
Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate
Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different
components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice
as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then
the Holders shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration the Holders
receive upon any conversion of this Series A Convertible Preferred Stock following such
Fundamental Transaction.
A-6
c) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest
cent or the nearest whole share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the
number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date
shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.
d) Notice to the Holders.
i) Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted
pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Company shall promptly mail to
each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and
setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii) Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a
dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the
Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of
the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of
the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders
of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the
Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale
or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any
compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company,
then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency
maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock, and shall cause to be delivered to each Holder at its last address as it
shall appear upon the stock books of the Company, at least ten (10) calendar days
prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice
stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be
taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be
entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be
determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the
date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other
property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any
defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the
corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder is entitled to
convert the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (or any part hereof) during the
ten (10) day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective
date of the event triggering such notice.
A-7
8. Preferred Put Option.
a) Option. During the period beginning on the Put Commencement Date and terminating
one hundred and eighty (180) days thereafter (the “Put Exercise Period”) a holder shall
have the right and option on up to three (3) occasions (the “Preferred Put Option”),
exercisable from time to time by written notice (the “Put Notice”) delivered to Company by
registered mail, overnight courier or facsimile stating that the Holder intends to exercise
its rights, to sell to Company and to cause Company to purchase from the Holder any or all
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then held by the Holder, on an as-converted
basis, for an aggregate purchase price equal to the Put Price. The number of as-converted
shares (the “Put Shares”) shall be equal to the Stated Value per share divided by
Conversion Price per share, multiplied by the number of shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock being put to the Company. The Put Notice shall also specify the Put
Closing Date. The Put Notice shall be deemed to have been delivered (i) five (5) Business
Days after being mailed by registered mail (return receipt requested and postage prepaid)
to the recipient, (ii) one (1) Business Day after being sent by overnight courier (receipt
confirmation requested) or (iii) if sent by facsimile transmission, on the date of such
transmission, with a confirming copy deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid.
If a Holder fails to deliver a Put Notice during the Put Exercise Period, the Holder shall
have forfeited the Preferred Put Option. Each time that a Holder exercises the Preferred
Put Option, the number of Put Shares shall be at least ten percent (10%) of the shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then held by the Holder.
b) Elimination of the Preferred Put Option. After the SEC Effective Date, the
Preferred Put Option shall be eliminated if the Company creates Shareholder Value.
“Shareholder Value” is defined as the occurrence of one or both of the following: (i) if
following the SEC Effective Date, within any rolling 90 trading day period (in which the
Registration Statement is continuously effective) the average of the 30 highest Volume
Weighted Average Prices (not required to be consecutive) of the Common Stock is greater
than $2.21, or (ii) if following the SEC Effective Date, within any rolling 90 trading day
period (in which the Registration Statement is continuously effective) the average Volume
Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock for 20 consecutive trading days is greater than
$2.21. For the avoidance of doubt, all of the days in the computation of (i) and (ii)
above shall fall within a period when the Registration Statement is continuously effective.
c) Acceleration of the Preferred Put Option. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, the Holder shall send a notice of default to Company. The notice of default shall
include the default date. If the default is not cured within any applicable cure period,
the Put Commencement Date shall accelerate to the later of (x) the default date specified
in the notice if there is no cure period or (y) the last date of any applicable cure
period.
A-8
d) Put Price. For purposes hereof, with respect to each exercise of the Preferred Put
Option, the term “Put Price” shall mean the Put Price Per Share multiplied by the number of
Put Shares.
e) Put Price Per Share. The “Put Price Per Share” shall be equal to the Market Price.
f) Put Closing Date. The Holder shall fix the date (a “Put Closing Date”) for the
exercise of a Preferred Put Option no earlier than ten (10) but not more than thirty (30)
Business Days after the Put Notice is deemed to be delivered.
g) Closing Deliveries. On the Put Closing Date, the Holder will deliver the
certificates representing the Put Shares or deliver electronically (if physical delivery,
duly endorsed for transfer by the Holder or accompanied by duly executed stock powers in
blank) to Company, and Company shall deliver payment of the Put Price in cash by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account at a bank designated by the Holder.
h) Non-compliance. If the Company does not honor the Preferred Put Option and comply
with the terms of this Section 8, interest shall be due and payable on the portion of the
Put Price not paid at an annual rate of eighteen percent (18%) payable monthly in cash.
9. Preferred Call Option.
a) Option. During the period beginning on the Effective Date and terminating on
September 30, 2011 (the “Call Exercise Period”) Company shall have the right and option
(the “Preferred Call Option”), exercisable by written notice (the “Call Notice”) delivered
to a Holder by registered mail, overnight courier or facsimile stating that Company intends
to exercise its rights to purchase from the Holder and to cause the Holder to sell to
Company all, but not less than all, of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
then held by the Holder on an as-converted basis, for an aggregate purchase price equal to
the Call Price. The number of as-converted shares (the “Call Shares”) shall be equal to
the Stated Value per share divided by the Conversion Price per share, multiplied by the
number of shares Series A Convertible Preferred Stock being called by the Company (which
shall not be less than all of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock). The Call Notice
shall also specify the Call Closing Date. The Call Notice shall be deemed to have been
delivered (i) five (5) Business Days after being mailed by registered mail (return receipt
requested and postage prepaid) to the recipient, (ii) one (1) Business Day after being sent
by overnight courier (receipt confirmation requested) or (iii) if sent by facsimile
transmission, on the date of such transmission, with a confirming copy deposited in the
United States mail, postage prepaid. If Company fails to deliver a Call Notice during the
Call Exercise Period, Company shall have forfeited the Preferred Call Option.
A-9
b) Elimination of the Preferred Call Option. The Preferred Call Option shall be
eliminated upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the Preferred Put Option is eliminated
pursuant to Section 8.b), (ii) the Put Commencement Date is accelerated pursuant to Section
8.c), (iii) October 1, 2011, (iv) the Company’s execution of a letter of intent for a
Business Combination, (v) the Company’s execution of definitive documents for a Business
Combination and (vi) the Company’s public announcement (by press release, filing of a
Current Report on Form 8-K or other similar means) that it intends to consummate a Business
Combination.
c) Call Price. For purposes hereof, the term “Call Price” shall mean the Call Price
Per Share multiplied by the number of Call Shares.
d) Call Price Per Share. If the Call Closing Date occurs during the period beginning
on the Effective Date and ending on June 30, 2011, the Call Price Per Share shall be equal
to the Market Price less ten percent (10%). If the Call Closing Date occurs during the
period beginning on July 1, 2011 and ending on September 30, 2011, the Call Price Per Share
shall be equal to the Market Price.
e) Call Closing Date. Company shall fix the date (the “Call Closing Date”) for the
exercise of the Preferred Call Option no earlier than ten (10) but not more than thirty
(30) Business Days after the Call Notice is deemed to be delivered.
f) Closing Deliveries. On the Call Closing Date, the Holder will deliver the
certificates representing the Call Shares or deliver electronically (if physical delivery,
duly endorsed for transfer by the Holder or accompanied by duly executed stock powers in
blank) to Company, and Company shall deliver payment of the Call Price in cash by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account at a bank designated by Company.
g) Section 16 Compliance. Company shall not exercise the Preferred Call Option at any
time that would result in the Holder incurring short swing profit liability to permit the
recapture of profits by the Company pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act involving an
equity security in a transaction within a period of 6 months.
