CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES AND
RIGHTS OF THE
SERIES H-5 CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK OF
DROPCAR, INC.
I, Joshua
Silverman, hereby certify that I am the Chairman of the Board of
Directors of DropCar, Inc. (the “Company”), a corporation organized
and existing under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
“DGCL”), and
further do hereby certify:
That pursuant to
the authority expressly conferred upon the Board of Directors of
the Company (the “Board”) by the Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”),
the Board on December 6, 2019 adopted the following resolutions
creating a series of 50,000 shares of Preferred Stock designated as
Series H-5 Convertible Preferred Stock, none of which shares have
been issued:
RESOLVED, that the
Board designates the Series H-5 Convertible Preferred Stock and the
number of shares constituting such series, and fixes the rights,
powers, preferences, privileges and restrictions relating to such
series in addition to any set forth in the Certificate of
Incorporation as follows:
TERMS OF SERIES H-5 CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED
STOCK
1.
|
Designation and Number of
Shares. There shall hereby be created and established a
series of preferred stock of the Company designated as
“Series H-5 Convertible Preferred Stock” (the
“Preferred
Shares”). The authorized number of Preferred Shares
shall be 50,000 shares. Each Preferred Share shall have a par value
of $0.0001. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the
meaning as set forth in Section 18 below.
|
2.
|
Ranking. Except with respect to
any current series of preferred stock of senior rank to the
Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends,
distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and
winding up of the Company (collectively, the “Senior Preferred Stock”) and any
current or future series of preferred stock of pari passu rank to
the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends,
distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and
winding up of the Company, which, as of the date hereof, consists
of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, Series H-3 Convertible
Preferred Stock and Series H-4 Convertible Preferred Stock
(collectively, the “Parity
Stock”), all shares of capital stock of the Company
shall be junior in rank to all Preferred Shares with respect to the
preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the
liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company
(collectively, the “Junior Stock”). The rights of all
such shares of capital stock of the Company shall be subject to the
rights, powers, preferences and privileges of the Preferred Shares.
In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or
into another corporation, the Preferred Shares shall maintain their
relative rights, powers, designations, privileges and preferences
provided for herein and no such merger or consolidation shall
result inconsistent therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, in no
circumstance will a Preferred Share have any rights subordinate or
otherwise inferior to the rights of shares of Parity Stock or
Common Stock (as defined below).
|
3.
|
Conversion. Each Preferred
Share shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock on the terms and conditions
set forth in this Section 3.
|
|
(a)
|
Holder’s Conversion
Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(e)), at any
time or times on or after the Initial Issuance Date, each holder of
a Preferred Share (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the
“Holders”) shall
be entitled to convert any whole number of Preferred Shares into
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock in accordance with Section 3(c) at the Conversion Rate (as
defined below).
|
|
(b)
|
Conversion Rate. The number of
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of each Preferred Share pursuant to
Section 3(a) shall be determined according to the following formula
(the “Conversion
Rate”):
|
Conversion Amount
Conversion Price
No fractional
shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the conversion of any
Preferred Shares. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a
fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such
fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole
share.
|
(c)
|
Mechanics of Conversion. The
conversion of each Preferred Share shall be conducted in the
following manner:
|
|
(i)
|
Holder’s Conversion. To
convert a Preferred Share into validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock on any date (a
“Conversion
Date”), a Holder shall deliver (whether via electronic
mail, facsimile or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59
p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of
conversion of the share(s) of Preferred Shares subject to such
conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the
“Conversion
Notice”) to the Company. If required by Section
3(c)(vi), within five (5) Trading Days following a conversion of
any such Preferred Shares as aforesaid, such Holder shall surrender
to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery
to the Company the original certificates representing the share(s)
of Preferred Shares (the “Preferred Share Certificates”) so
converted as aforesaid.
|
|
(ii)
|
Company’s Response. On or
before the first (1st) Trading Day
following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company
shall transmit by electronic mail or facsimile an acknowledgment of
confirmation, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of receipt
of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Company’s
transfer agent (the “Transfer
Agent”), which confirmation shall constitute an
instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice
in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the second
(2nd)
Trading Day following the date of receipt by the Company of such
Conversion Notice, the Company shall (1) provided that (x) the
Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”) Fast
Automated Securities Transfer Program and (y) Common Stock shares
to be so issued are otherwise eligible for resale pursuant to Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which
such Holder shall be entitled to such Holder’s or its
designee’s balance account with DTC through its
Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (2) if either of the
immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y) are not satisfied, issue
and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as
specified in such Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in
the name of such Holder or its designee, for the number of shares
of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled. If the
number of Preferred Shares represented by the Preferred Share
Certificate(s) submitted for conversion pursuant to Section
3(c)(vi) is greater than the number of Preferred Shares being
converted, then the Company shall if requested by such Holder, as
soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading
Days after receipt of the Preferred Share Certificate(s) and at its
own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a
new Preferred Share Certificate representing the number of
Preferred Shares not converted.
|
|
(iii)
|
Record Holder. The Person or
Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon a conversion of Preferred Shares shall be treated for all
purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common
Stock on the Conversion Date.
|
|
(iv)
|
Company’s Failure to Timely
Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no
reason, to issue to a Holder within three (3) Trading Days after
the Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice (whether via
electronic mail, facsimile or otherwise) (the “Share Delivery Deadline”), a
certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such
Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the
Company’s share register or to credit such Holder’s or
its designee’s balance account with DTC for such number of
shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such
Holder’s conversion of any Preferred Shares (as the case may
be) (a “Conversion
Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies
available to such Holder, such Holder, upon written notice to the
Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain
or have returned (as the case may be) any Preferred Shares that
have not been converted pursuant to such Holder’s Conversion
Notice, provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not
affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which
have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to the terms
of this Certificate of Designations or otherwise. In addition to
the foregoing, if within three (3) Trading Days after the
Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice (whether via
electronic mail, facsimile or otherwise), the Company shall fail to
issue and deliver a certificate to such Holder and register such
shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or
credit such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account
with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such
Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder
(as the case may be), and if on or after such third (3rd) Trading Day such
Holder (or any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of such
Holder) purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such
Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common
Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all
or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, issuable
upon such conversion that such Holder so anticipated receiving from
the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to
such Holder, the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days
after such Holder’s request, which request shall include
reasonable documentation of all broker fees, costs and expenses and
in such Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to such
Holder in an amount equal to such Holder’s total purchase
price (including brokerage commissions and other reasonable out of
pocket expenses related to the Buy-In, if any) for the shares of
Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any
other Person in respect, or on behalf, of such Holder) (the
“Buy-In Price”),
at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and
deliver such certificate or credit such Holder’s balance
account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which
such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion
hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common
Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so
issue and deliver to such Holder a certificate or certificates
representing such shares of Common Stock or credit such
Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such
Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay
cash to such Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of
the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of
Common Stock multiplied by (B) the sale price of the Common Stock
at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was
executed.
|
|
(v)
|
Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes.
In the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more
than one Holder for the same Conversion Date and the Company can
convert some, but not all, of such Preferred Shares submitted for
conversion, the Company shall convert from each Holder electing to
have Preferred Shares converted on such date a pro rata amount of
such Holder’s Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on
such date based on the number of Preferred Shares submitted for
conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the aggregate
number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date.
In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of
Preferred Shares, the Company shall issue to such Holder the number
of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute
in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.
|
|
(vi)
|
Book-Entry. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3, upon
conversion of any Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms
hereof, no Holder thereof shall be required to physically surrender
the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to the Company
following conversion thereof unless (A) the full or remaining
number of Preferred Shares represented by the certificate are being
converted (in which event such certificate(s) shall be delivered to
the Company as contemplated by this Section 3(c)(vi) or (B) such
Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which
notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting
reissuance of Preferred Shares upon physical surrender of any
Preferred Shares. Each Holder and the Company shall maintain
records showing the number of Preferred Shares so converted by such
Holder and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other
method, reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, so
as not to require physical surrender of the certificate
representing the Preferred Shares upon each such conversion. In the
event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of such Holder
establishing the number of Preferred Shares to which the record
holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the
absence of manifest error. A Holder and any transferee or assignee,
by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by
reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of
any Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred Shares represented by
such certificate may be less than the number of Preferred Shares
stated on the face thereof. Each certificate for Preferred Shares
shall bear the following legend:
|
ANY TRANSFEREE OR
ASSIGNEE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF
THE CORPORATION’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE
SHARES OF SERIES H-5 PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 3(c)(vi) THEREOF. THE NUMBER OF
SHARES OF SERIES H-5 PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES H-5
PREFERRED STOCK STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION
3(c)(vi) OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES
OF SERIES H-5 PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE.
|
(d)
|
Taxes. The Company shall pay
any and all documentary, stamp, transfer (but only in respect of
the registered holder thereof), issuance and other similar taxes
that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of
shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of Preferred
Shares.
|
|
(e)
|
Limitation on Beneficial
Ownership.
|
|
(i)
|
Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Certificate of Designations, the
Preferred Shares held by a Holder shall not be convertible by such
Holder, and the Company shall not effect any conversion of any
Preferred Shares held by such Holder, to the extent (but only to
the extent) that such Holder or any of its affiliates would
beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common
Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the
determination of whether the Preferred Shares held by such Holder
shall be convertible (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable
or exchangeable securities owned by such Holder or any of its
affiliates) and of which such securities shall be convertible,
exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned by
such Holder and its affiliates) shall, subject to such Maximum
Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first
submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as
the case may be). No prior inability of a Holder to convert
Preferred Shares, or of the Company to issue shares of Common Stock
to such Holder, pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall have any effect
on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 3(e) with
respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility or
issuance (as the case may be). For purposes of this Section 3(e),
beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations
(including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of
percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this Section 3(e) shall
be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with
the terms of this Section 3(e) to correct this Section 3(e) (or any
portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the
intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein
contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable
to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The
limitations contained in this Section 3(e) shall apply to a
successor holder of Preferred Shares. The Company may not waive
this Section 3(e) without the consent of holders of a majority of
its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written or
oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business
Day confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of
shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any
prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable
securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation,
pursuant to this Certificate of Designations or securities issued
pursuant to the other Transaction Documents. By written notice to
the Company, any Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum
Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified
in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be
effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the
Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to
such Holder sending such notice and not to any other
Holder.
|
4.
|
Adjustment of Conversion
Price
|
|
(a)
|
Subdivision or Combination of Common
Stock. Without limiting any provision of Section 9, if the
Company at any time on or after the Initial Issuance Date
subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or
otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be
proportionately reduced. Without limiting any provision of Section
9, if the Company at any time on or after the Initial Issuance Date
combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or
more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately
increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 shall become
effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision
or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this
Section 4 occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is
calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Price
shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.
|
|
(b)
|
Certain Anti-Dilution
Adjustments. If the Company shall, at any time while any of
the Preferred Shares are outstanding, issue any shares of its
Common Stock, other than Exempt Issuances (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement), without consideration or for a consideration
per share less than the applicable Conversion Price, then with
respect to any such issuance, the applicable Conversion Price as in
effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith be
lowered to a price equal to the issuance, conversion, exchange or
exercise price, as applicable, of any such securities so issued.
Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company for no consideration
or for consideration that cannot be determined at the time of issue
will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for the Reduced
Conversion Floor Price. For purposes of the issuance and
adjustments described in this paragraph, in the event of the
issuance of any Common Stock Equivalent, the Company shall be
deemed to have issued Common Stock at the lowest price issuable
pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent and shall result in a
reduction of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4(b)
upon each of: (i) the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent; and
(ii) upon any subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of such Common Stock Equivalent if such issuance is at a
price lower than the Conversion Price in effect upon such issuance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no reduction of the Conversion Price
shall be less than twenty percent (20%) of the original Conversion
Price on the Closing Date (subject to appropriate adjustments for
stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations,
reclassifications, combinations, reverse stock splits or other
similar transactions after the Issuance Date) (the
“Reduced Conversion Floor
Price”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, this Section 4(b) shall not apply until receipt of the
Shareholder Approval.
|
|
(a)
|
Reservation. The Company shall
initially reserve out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of the Conversion
Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount of each Preferred Share
as of the Initial Issuance Date (assuming for purposes hereof, that
all the Preferred Shares issuable pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement have been issued, such Preferred Shares are convertible
at the Conversion Price and without taking into account any
limitations on the conversion of such Preferred Shares set forth in
herein). So long as any of the Preferred Shares are outstanding,
the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep
available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common
Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the
Preferred Shares, as of any given date, 100% of the number of
shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to
effect the conversion of all of the Preferred Shares issued or
issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, assuming for purposes
hereof, that all the Preferred Shares issuable pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement have been issued and without taking into account
any limitations on the issuance of securities set forth herein),
provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock
so available be less than the number of shares required to be
reserved by the previous sentence (without regard to any
limitations on conversions contained in this Certificate of
Designations) (the “Required
Amount”). The initial number of shares of Common Stock
reserved for conversions of the Preferred Shares and each increase
in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata
among the Holders based on the number of Preferred Shares held by
each Holder on the Initial Issuance Date or increase in the number
of reserved shares (as the case may be) (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In
the event a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such
Holder’s Preferred Shares, each transferee shall be allocated
a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Authorized Share
Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to
any Person which ceases to hold any Preferred Shares shall be
allocated to the remaining Holders of Preferred Shares, pro rata
based on the number of Preferred Shares then held by such
Holders.
|
|
(b)
|
Insufficient Authorized Shares.
If, notwithstanding Section 5(a) and not in limitation thereof, at
any time while any of the Preferred Shares remain outstanding the
Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and
unissued shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to have
available for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Shares at
least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required
Amount (an “Authorized Share
Failure”), then the Company shall promptly take all
reasonable action (within its control) to increase the
Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount
sufficient to allow the Company to reserve and have available the
Required Amount for all of the Preferred Shares then outstanding.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon
as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized
Share Failure, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after
the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall
hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase
in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection
with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with
a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its
stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares
of Common Stock. Nothing contained in this Section 5 shall limit
any obligations of the Company under any provision of the Purchase
Agreement.
|
|
6.
|
Voting Rights. Holders of
Preferred Shares shall have no voting rights, except as required by
law (including without limitation, the DGCL) and as expressly
provided in this Certificate of Designations. Subject to Section
3(e), to the extent that under the DGCL holders of the Preferred
Shares are required to vote on a matter with holders of shares of
Common Stock, voting together as one class, each Preferred Share
shall entitle the holder thereof to cast that number of votes per
share as is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into
which it is then convertible (subject to the ownership limitations
specified in Section 3(e) hereof) using the record date for
determining the stockholders of the Company eligible to vote on
such matters as the date as of which the Conversion Price is
calculated. Holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to
written notice of all stockholder meetings or written consents (and
copies of proxy materials and other information sent to
stockholders) with respect to which they would be entitled by vote,
which notice would be provided pursuant to the Company’s
bylaws and the DGCL.
|
|
8.
|
Liquidation, Dissolution,
Winding-Up. In the event of a Liquidation Event, the Holders
shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the
Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for
distribution to its stockholders (the “Liquidation Funds”), before any
amount shall be paid to the holders of any of shares of Junior
Stock, an amount per Preferred Share equal to the amount per share
such Holder would receive if such Holder converted such Preferred
Shares into Common Stock immediately prior to the date of such
payment, provided that if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to
pay the full amount due to the Holders and holders of shares of
Parity Stock, then each Holder and each holder of Parity Stock
shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the
full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder and such
holder of Parity Stock as a liquidation preference, in accordance
with their respective certificate of designations (or equivalent),
as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to
all holders of Preferred Shares and all holders of shares of Parity
Stock. To the extent necessary, the Company shall cause such
actions to be taken by each of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to
the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation
Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this
Section 8. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders
under this Section 8 shall be paid or set apart for payment before
the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the
distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Company to the holders
of shares of Junior Stock in connection with a Liquidation Event as
to which this Section 8 applies.
|
|
9.
|
Participation. In addition to
any adjustments pursuant to Section 4, the Holders shall, as
holders of Preferred Shares, be entitled to receive such dividends
paid and distributions made to the holders of shares of Common
Stock to the same extent as if such Holders had converted each
Preferred Share held by each of them into shares of Common Stock
(without regard to any limitations on conversion herein or
elsewhere) and had held such shares of Common Stock on the record
date for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the
preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or
distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock (provided,
however, to the extent that a Holder’s right to participate
in any such dividend or distribution would result in such Holder
exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be
entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution to such
extent (or the beneficial ownership of any such shares of Common
Stock as a result of such dividend or distribution to such extent)
and such dividend or distribution to such extent shall be held in
abeyance for the benefit of such Holder until such time, if ever,
as its right thereto would not result in such Holder exceeding the
Maximum Percentage).
|
|
10.
|
Vote to Change the Terms of or Issue
Preferred Shares. In addition to any other rights provided
by law, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of
a greater number of shares is required by law or by another
provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, without first
obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such
purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Required
Holders, voting together as a single class, the Company shall not:
(a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, its
Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any certificate of
designations or certificate of amendment, if such action would
adversely alter or change in any respect the preferences, rights,
privileges or powers, or restrictions provided for the benefit, of
the Preferred Shares, regardless of whether any such action shall
be by means of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or by
merger, consolidation or otherwise; provided, however, the Company
shall be entitled, without the consent of the Required Holders
unless such consent is otherwise required by the DGCL, to amend the
Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate one or more reverse
stock splits of its issued and outstanding Common Stock for
purposes of maintaining compliance with the rules and regulations
of the Principal Market; or (b) without limiting any provision of
Section 13, whether or not prohibited by the terms of the Preferred
Shares, circumvent a right of the Preferred Shares.
|
|
11.
|
Lost or Stolen Certificates.
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any
certificates representing Preferred Shares (as to which a written
certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall
suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or
destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the applicable
Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the
case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the
certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver new
certificate(s) of like tenor and date.
|
|
12.
|
Remedies, Characterizations, Other
Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The
remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations shall be
cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under
this Certificate of Designations and any of the other Transaction
Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific
performance and/or other injunctive relief), and no remedy
contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the
provisions giving rise to such remedy. Nothing herein shall limit
any Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages
for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this
Certificate of Designations.. Amounts set forth or provided for
herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the
computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by a
Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be
subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance
thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders
and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.
The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach
or threatened breach, each Holder shall be entitled, in addition to
all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such
breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Company
shall provide all information and documentation to a Holder that is
requested by such Holder to enable such Holder to confirm the
Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this
Certificate of Designations.
|
|
13.
|
Noncircumvention. The Company
hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment
of its Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme
of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any
other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms of this Certificate of
Designations, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the
provisions of this Certificate of Designations and take all action
as may be required to protect the rights of the Holders. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of
this Certificate of Designations, the Company (i) shall not
increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable
upon the conversion of any Preferred Shares above the Conversion
Price then in effect without the consent or vote of the Required
Holders, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or
appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue

This Amendment to the Certificate of Designation
of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series H-4
Convertible Preferred Stock (this “Amendment”) is dated as of December 20,
2019.
WHEREAS, the board of directors
(“Board of
Directors”) of DropCar,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to authority granted to it by
the certificate of incorporation of the Company, has previously
fixed the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters
relating to a series of the Company’s preferred stock,
consisting of 30,000 authorized shares of preferred stock,
classified as Series H-4 Convertible Preferred Stock (the
“Series H-4 Preferred
Stock”) and the
Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series
H-4 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of
Designation”) was filed
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 8,
2018, evidencing such terms;
WHEREAS, the holders (the
“Holders”) are the record and beneficial owners of
certain shares of Series H-4 Preferred Stock, issued pursuant to
that certain (a) Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March
8, 2018, by and between the Company and the purchasers party
thereto and (b) the Certificate of Designation;
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 17(b) of the
Certificate of Designation, any of the rights, powers, preferences
and other terms of the Series H-4 Preferred Stock may be waived or
amended on behalf of all holders of Series H-4 Preferred Stock by
the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of at least
two-thirds of the shares of Series H-4 Preferred Stock then
outstanding (the “Required
Holders”);
WHEREAS, the Holders constitute the Required
Holders pursuant to the Certificate of Designation and have
consented in writing, in accordance with Section 228 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
“DGCL”), on December 20, 2019, to this Amendment
on the terms set forth herein;
WHEREAS,
the Board of Directors has duly adopted resolutions proposing to
adopt this Amendment and declaring this Amendment to be advisable
and in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders;
and
WHEREAS, the Holders have agreed to convert their
shares of Series H-4 Preferred Stock into shares of common stock,
par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the
“Common Stock”) pursuant to Section 3 of the Certificate
of Designation, as amended by this Amendment, upon receipt of
Shareholder Approval (as defined below).
NOW,
THEREFORE, this Amendment has been duly adopted in accordance with
Section 242 of the DGCL and has been executed by a duly authorized
officer of the Company as of the date first set forth above to
amend the terms of the Certificate of Designation as
follows:
1. Capitalized
Terms. Unless otherwise
specified in this Amendment, all terms herein shall have the same
meanings ascribed to them in the Certificate of
Designation.
2. Amendment to Section
18(h). Section 18(h) of the
Certificate of Designation is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety as follows:
“Conversion
Price” shall initially
mean, with respect to each Preferred Share, as of any conversion
date or other applicable date of determination, $2.355, subject to
adjustment as provided herein, but shall be amended to be equal to
$0.50, upon receipt of shareholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5635(a) (“Shareholder
Approval”). Such
Conversion Price, and the rate at which the Preferred Shares may be
converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to
adjustment as provided herein. For the avoidance of doubt, any
adjustments made to the Conversion Price after December 20, 2019
but prior to receipt of Shareholder Approval shall be made
equitably and proportionately to the Conversion Price following
Shareholder Approval.”
3. Amendment to Section
3(f). Section 3(f) of the
Certificate of Designation is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety to add a new Section 3(f) as follows:
“3(f) Each
Preferred Share shall, automatically and without further action on
the part of any holder thereof, be converted effective upon,
subject to, and concurrently with, the receipt of the Shareholder
Approval, into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock calculated based on the then-applicable Conversion
Rate (after giving effect to the amendment thereto occurring upon
receipt of the Shareholder Approval as provided in Section 18(h)).
Each holder of any Preferred Shares converted pursuant to this
Section 3(f) shall deliver to the Company during regular business
hours at the office of any transfer agent of the Company for the
Preferred Shares, or at such other place as may be designated by
the Company, the certificate or certificates for the shares so

promptly as practicable thereafter, the Company shall issue and
deliver to such holder, at the place designated by such holder, a
certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of the
Common Stock to be issued and such holder shall be deemed to have
become a stockholder of record of Common Stock on the date of
receipt of the Shareholder Approval unless the transfer books of
the Company are closed on that date, in which event he, she or it
shall be deemed to have become a stockholder of record of Common
Stock on the next succeeding date on which the transfer books are
open.”
4. No Other
Amendment. Except for the
matters set forth in this Amendment, all other terms of the
Certificate of Designation and the Preferred Shares shall remain
unchanged and in full force and effect.

CERTIFICATE
OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF THE
SERIES
H-6 CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK OF
DROPCAR,
INC.
I, Spencer
Richardson, hereby certify that I am the Chief Executive Officer of
DropCar, Inc. (the “Company”), a corporation organized
and existing under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
“DGCL”), and
further do hereby certify:
That pursuant to
the authority expressly conferred upon the Board or Directors (the
“Board”) by the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the
“Certificate of
Incorporation”), the Board on January 29, 2020 adopted
the following resolutions creating a series of 50,000 shares of
Preferred Stock designated as Series H-6 Convertible Preferred
Stock, none of which shares have been issued:
RESOLVED, that the
Board designates the Series H-6 Convertible Preferred Stock and the
number of shares constituting such series, and fixes the rights,
powers, preferences, privileges and restrictions relating to such
series in addition to any set forth in the Certificate of
Incorporation as follows:
TERMS
OF SERIES H-6 CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
1.
Designation and
Number of Shares. There shall hereby be created and established a
series of preferred stock of the Company designated as
“Series H-6 Convertible Preferred Stock” (the
“Preferred Shares
”). The authorized number of Preferred Shares shall be 50,000
shares. Each Preferred Share shall have a par value of $0.0001.
Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning as set
forth in Section 18 below.
2.
Ranking. Except
with respect to any current series of preferred stock of senior
rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to
dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation,
dissolution and winding up of the Company (collectively, the
“Senior Preferred
Stock ”) and any current or future series of preferred
stock of pari passu rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the
preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the
liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, which, as
of the date hereof, consists of Series H Convertible Preferred
Stock, Series H-3 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series H-4
Convertible Preferred Stock and Series H-5 Convertible Preferred
Stock (collectively, the “Parity Stock”), all shares of
capital stock of the Company shall be junior in rank to all
Preferred Shares with respect to the preferences as to dividends,
distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and
winding up of the Company (collectively, the “Junior Stock”). The rights of all
such shares of capital stock of the Company shall be subject to the
rights, powers, preferences and privileges of the Preferred Shares.
In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or
into another corporation, the Preferred Shares shall maintain their
relative rights, powers, designations, privileges and preferences
provided for herein and no such merger or consolidation shall
result inconsistent therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, in no
circumstance will a Preferred Share have any rights subordinate or
otherwise inferior to the rights of shares of Parity Stock or
Common Stock (as defined below).
3.
Conversion. Each
Preferred Share shall be convertible into validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section 3.
(a)
Holder’s
Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(e)), at
any time or times on or after the Initial Issuance Date, each
holder of a Preferred Share (each, a “Holder ” and collectively, the
“Holders”) shall
be entitled to convert any whole number of Preferred Shares into
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock in accordance with Section 3(c) at the Conversion Rate (as
defined below).
(b)
Conversion Rate.
The number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each Preferred Share
pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be determined according to the
following formula (the “Conversion Rate ”):
Conversion Amount
Conversion
Price
No fractional
shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the conversion of any
Preferred Shares. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a
fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such
fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole
share.
(c)
Mechanics of
Conversion. The conversion of each Preferred Share shall be
conducted in the following manner:
(i)
Holder’s
Conversion. To convert a Preferred Share into validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock on any date (a
“Conversion Date
”), a Holder shall deliver (whether via electronic mail,
facsimile or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New
York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion
of the share(s) of Preferred Shares subject to such conversion in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit
I (the “Conversion
Notice”) to the Company. If required by Section
3(c)(vi), within five (5) Trading Days following a conversion of
any such Preferred Shares as aforesaid, such Holder shall surrender
to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery
to the Company the original certificates representing the share(s)
of Preferred Shares (the “Preferred Share Certificates”) so
converted as aforesaid.
(ii)
Company’s
Response. On or before the first (1st ) Trading Day
following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company
shall transmit by electronic mail or facsimile an acknowledgment of
confirmation, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of receipt of such
Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Company’s transfer
agent (the “Transfer
Agent”), which confirmation shall constitute an
instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice
in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the second
(2nd)
Trading Day following the date of receipt by the Company of such
Conversion Notice, the Company shall (1) provided that (x) the
Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”) Fast
Automated Securities Transfer Program and (y) Common Stock shares
to be so issued are otherwise eligible for resale pursuant to Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which
such Holder shall be entitled to such Holder’s or its
designee’s balance account with DTC through its
Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (2) if either of the
immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y) are not satisfied, issue
and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as
specified in such Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in
the name of such Holder or its designee, for the number of shares
of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled. If the
number of Preferred Shares represented by the Preferred Share
Certificate(s) submitted for conversion pursuant to Section
3(c)(vi) is greater than the number of Preferred Shares being
converted, then the Company shall if requested by such Holder, as
soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading
Days after receipt of the Preferred Share Certificate(s) and at its
own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a
new Preferred Share Certificate representing the number of
Preferred Shares not converted.
(iii)
Record
Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Preferred Shares shall
be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such
shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
(iv)
Company’s
Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any
reason or for no reason, to issue to a Holder within three (3)
Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of a Conversion
Notice (whether via electronic mail, facsimile or otherwise) (the
“Share Delivery
Deadline ”), a certificate for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled and register such
shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to
credit such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account
with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which such
Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any
Preferred Shares (as the case may be) (a “Conversion Failure”), then, in
addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, such
Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion
Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned (as the case
may be) any Preferred Shares that have not been converted pursuant
to such Holder’s Conversion Notice, provided that the voiding
of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s
obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the
date of such notice pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of
Designations or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if within
three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of a
Conversion Notice (whether via electronic mail, facsimile or
otherwise), the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a
certificate to such Holder and register such shares of Common Stock
on the Company’s share register or credit such Holder’s
or its designee’s balance account with DTC for the number of
shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such
Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be), and if on
or after such third (3rd) Trading Day such
Holder (or any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of such
Holder) purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such
Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common
Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all
or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, issuable
upon such conversion that such Holder so anticipated receiving from
the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to
such Holder, the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days
after such Holder’s request, which request shall include
reasonable documentation of all broker fees, costs and expenses and
in such Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to such
Holder in an amount equal to such Holder’s total purchase
price (including brokerage commissions and other reasonable out of
pocket expenses related to the Buy-In, if any) for the shares of
Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any
other Person in respect, or on behalf, of such Holder) (the
“Buy-In Price”),
at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and
deliver such certificate or credit such Holder’s balance
account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which
such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion
hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common
Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so
issue and deliver to such Holder a certificate or certificates
representing such shares of Common Stock or credit such
Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such
Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay
cash to such Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of
the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of
Common Stock multiplied by (B) the sale price of the Common Stock
at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was
executed.
(v)
Pro
Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event the Company receives a
Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same Conversion
Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such
Preferred Shares submitted for conversion, the Company shall
convert from each Holder electing to have Preferred Shares
converted on such date a pro rata amount of such Holder’s
Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date based on the
number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date by
such Holder relative to the aggregate number of Preferred Shares
submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as
to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder in
connection with a conversion of Preferred Shares, the Company shall
issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in
dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 6 of
the Exchange Agreement.
(vi)
Book-Entry.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section
3, upon conversion of any Preferred Shares in accordance with the
terms hereof, no Holder thereof shall be required to physically
surrender the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to the
Company following conversion thereof unless (A) the full or
remaining number of Preferred Shares represented by the certificate
are being converted (in which event such certificate(s) shall be
delivered to the Company as contemplated by this Section 3(c)(vi)
or (B) such Holder has provided the Company with prior written
notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice)
requesting reissuance of Preferred Shares upon physical surrender
of any Preferred Shares. Each Holder and the Company shall maintain
records showing the number of Preferred Shares so converted by such
Holder and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other
method, reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, so
as not to require physical surrender of the certificate
representing the Preferred Shares upon each such conversion. In the
event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of such Holder
establishing the number of Preferred Shares to which the record
holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the
absence of manifest error. A Holder and any transferee or assignee,
by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by
reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of
any Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred Shares represented by
such certificate may be less than the number of Preferred Shares
stated on the face thereof. Each certificate for Preferred Shares
shall bear the following legend:
ANY TRANSFEREE OR
ASSIGNEE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF
THE CORPORATION’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE
SHARES OF SERIES H-6 PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 3(c)(vi) THEREOF. THE NUMBER OF
SHARES OF SERIES H-6 PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES H-6
PREFERRED STOCK STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION
3(c)(vi) OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES
OF SERIES H-6 PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE.
(d)
Taxes.
The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp, transfer (but
only in respect of the registered holder thereof), issuance and
other similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the
issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion
of Preferred Shares.
(e)
Limitation on
Beneficial Ownership.
(i)
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate of
Designations, the Preferred Shares held by a Holder shall not be
convertible by such Holder, and the Company shall not effect any
conversion of any Preferred Shares held by such Holder, to the
extent (but only to the extent) that such Holder or any of its
affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the
“Maximum Percentage
”) of the Common Stock. To the extent the above limitation
applies, the determination of whether the Preferred Shares held by
such Holder shall be convertible (vis-à-vis other convertible,
exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by such Holder or any
of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be
convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such
securities owned by such Holder and its affiliates) shall, subject
to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis
of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or
exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability of a Holder to
convert Preferred Shares, or of the Company to issue shares of
Common Stock to such Holder, pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall
have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this
Section 3(e) with respect to any subsequent determination of
convertibility or issuance (as the case may be). For purposes of
this Section 3(e), beneficial ownership and all determinations and
calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to
calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this Section
3(e) shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict
conformity with the terms of this Section 3(e) to correct this
Section 3(e) (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or
inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial
ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or
supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such
Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this
Section 3(e) shall apply to a successor holder of Preferred Shares.
The Company may not waive this Section 3(e) without the consent of
holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any
time, upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company
shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to
such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding,
including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of
convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including,
without limitation, pursuant to this Certificate of Designations or
securities issued pursuant to the other Transaction Documents. By
written notice to the Company, any Holder may increase or decrease
the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of
9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase
will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is
delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease
will apply only to such Holder sending such notice and not to any
other Holder.
4.
Adjustment of
Conversion Price
(a)
Subdivision or
Combination of Common Stock. Without limiting any provision of
Section 9, if the Company at any time on or after the Initial
Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares,
the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any
provision of Section 9, if the Company at any time on or after the
Initial Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split
or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price
in effect immediately prior to such combination will be
proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section
4 shall become effective immediately after the effective date of
such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an
adjustment under this Section 4 occurs during the period that a
Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of
such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect
such event.
(b)
Certain
Anti-Dilution Adjustments. If the Company shall, at any time while
any of the Preferred Shares are outstanding, issue any shares of
its Common Stock, other than Exempt Issuances, without
consideration or for a consideration per share less than the
applicable Conversion Price, then with respect to any such
issuance, the applicable Conversion Price as in effect immediately
prior to each such issuance shall forthwith be lowered to a price
equal to the issuance, conversion, exchange or exercise price, as
applicable, of any such securities so issued. Common Stock issued
or issuable by the Company for no consideration or for
consideration that cannot be determined at the time of issue will
be deemed issuable or to have been issued for the Reduced
Conversion Floor Price. For purposes of the issuance and
adjustments described in this paragraph, in the event of the
issuance of any Common Stock Equivalent, the Company shall be
deemed to have issued Common Stock at the lowest price issuable
pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent and shall result in a
reduction of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4(b)
upon each of: (i) the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent; and
(ii) upon any subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of such Common Stock Equivalent if such issuance is at a
price lower than the Conversion Price in effect upon such issuance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no reduction of the Conversion Price
shall be less than twenty percent (20%) of the original Conversion
Price on the Closing Date (subject to appropriate adjustments for
stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations,
reclassifications, combinations, reverse stock splits or other
similar transactions after the Issuance Date) (the
“Reduced Conversion Floor
Price ”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, this Section 4(b) shall not apply until receipt of the
Shareholder Approval.
(a)
Reservation. The
Company shall initially reserve out of its authorized and unissued
Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of
the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount of each
Preferred Share as of the Initial Issuance Date (assuming for
purposes hereof, that all the Preferred Shares issuable pursuant to
the Exchange Agreement have been issued, such Preferred Shares are
convertible at the Conversion Price and without taking into account
any limitations on the conversion of such Preferred Shares set
forth in herein). So long as any of the Preferred Shares are
outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve
and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of
Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of
the Preferred Shares, as of any given date, 100% of the number of
shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to
effect the conversion of all of the Preferred Shares issued or
issuable pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, assuming for purposes
hereof, that all the Preferred Shares issuable pursuant to the
Exchange Agreement have been issued and without taking into account
any limitations on the issuance of securities set forth herein),
provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock
so available be less than the number of shares required to be
reserved by the previous sentence (without regard to any
limitations on conversions contained in this Certificate of
Designations) (the “Required
Amount ”). The initial number of shares of Common
Stock reserved for conversions of the Preferred Shares and each
increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro
rata among the Holders based on the number of Preferred Shares held
by each Holder on the Initial Issuance Date or increase in the
number of reserved shares (as the case may be) (the
“Authorized Share
Allocation”). In the event a Holder shall sell or
otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Preferred Shares,
each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such
Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common
Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any
Preferred Shares shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of
Preferred Shares, pro rata based on the number of Preferred Shares
then held by such Holders.
(b)
Insufficient
Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 5(a) and not in
limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Preferred Shares
remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to satisfy its
obligation to have available for issuance upon conversion of the
Preferred Shares at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal
to the Required Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure ”), then
the Company shall promptly take all reasonable action (within its
control) to increase the Company’s authorized shares of
Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to
reserve and have available the Required Amount for all of the
Preferred Shares then outstanding. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of
the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event
later than ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such Authorized
Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders
for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares
of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall
provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its
best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such
increase in authorized shares of Common Stock.
6.
Voting
Rights. Subject to the following
paragraph, on any matter presented to the stockholders of the
Company for their action or consideration at any meeting of
stockholders of the Company (or by written consent of stockholders
in lieu of a meeting), each Holder, in its capacity as such, shall
be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of
whole shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Shares
beneficially owned by such Holder are convertible as of the record
date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on or consent to
such matter (taking into account all Preferred Shares beneficially
owned by such Holder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
shall a Holder be permitted to exercise a greater number of votes
than such Holder would have been entitled to cast if the Preferred
Shares had immediately been converted into shares of Common Stock
at a conversion price equal to $0.78 (subject to adjustment for
stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations,
reclassifications, combinations, reverse stock splits or other
similar events). Except as otherwise required by law or by the
other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Holders,
in their capacity as such, shall vote together with the holders of
Common Stock and any other class or series of stock entitled to
vote thereon as a single class. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate of
Designations, no Holder shall be permitted to vote the Preferred
Shares beneficially owned by such Holder in excess of the Maximum
Percentage. To the extent the above limitation applies to a Holder,
the total votes entitled to be cast by such Holder, in its capacity
as such, shall be proportionately decreased among the Preferred
Shares beneficially owned by such Holder. No prior inability of a
Holder to vote Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 6 shall
have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this
Section 6 with respect to any subsequent determination of voting.
For purposes of this Section 6, beneficial ownership and all
determinations and calculations (including, without limitation,
with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The limitations
contained in this Section 6 shall apply to a successor holder of
Preferred Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or
oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business
Day confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of
shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any
prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable
securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation,
pursuant to this Certificate of Designations or securities issued
pursuant to the other Transaction Documents.
8.
Liquidation,
Dissolution, Winding-Up. In the event of a Liquidation Event, the
Holders shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of
the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for
distribution to its stockholders (the “Liquidation Funds ”), before any
amount shall be paid to the holders of any of shares of Junior
Stock, an amount per Preferred Share equal to the amount per share
such Holder would receive if such Holder converted such Preferred
Shares into Common Stock immediately prior to the date of such
payment, provided that if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to
pay the full amount due to the Holders and holders of shares of
Parity Stock, then each Holder and each holder of Parity Stock
shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the
full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder and such
holder of Parity Stock as a liquidation preference, in accordance
with their respective certificate of designations (or equivalent),
as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to
all holders of Preferred Shares and all holders of shares of Parity
Stock. To the extent necessary, the Company shall cause such
actions to be taken by each of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to
the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation
Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this
Section 8. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders
under this Section 8 shall be paid or set apart for payment before
the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the
distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Company to the holders
of shares of Junior Stock in connection with a Liquidation Event as
to which this Section 8 applies.
9.
Participation. In
addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 4, the Holders
shall, as holders of Preferred Shares, be entitled to receive such
dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of shares of
Common Stock to the same extent as if such Holders had converted
each Preferred Share held by each of them into shares of Common
Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion herein or
elsewhere) and had held such shares of Common Stock on the record
date for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the
preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or
distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock (provided,
however, to the extent that a Holder’s right to participate
in any such dividend or distribution would result in such Holder
exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be
entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution to such
extent (or the beneficial ownership of any such shares of Common
Stock as a result of such dividend or distribution to such extent)
and such dividend or distribution to such extent shall be held in
abeyance for the benefit of such Holder until such time, if ever,
as its right thereto would not result in such Holder exceeding the
Maximum Percentage).
10.
Vote to
Change the Terms of or Issue Preferred Shares. In addition to any
other rights provided by law, except where the vote or written
consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by
law or by another provision of the Certificate of Incorporation,
without first obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly
called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of
the Required Holders, voting together as a single class, the
Company shall not: (a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any
provision to, its Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, or file
any certificate of designations or certificate of amendment, if
such action would adversely alter or change in any respect the
preferences, rights, privileges or powers, or restrictions provided
for the benefit, of the Preferred Shares, regardless of whether any
such action shall be by means of amendment to the Certificate of
Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise; provided,
however, the Company shall be entitled, without the consent of the
Required Holders unless such consent is otherwise required by the
DGCL, to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate one
or more reverse stock splits of its issued and outstanding Common
Stock for purposes of maintaining compliance with the rules and
regulations of the Principal Market; or (b) without limiting any
provision of Section 13, whether or not prohibited by the terms of
the Preferred Shares, circumvent a right of the Preferred
Shares.
11.
Lost or
Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of any certificates representing
Preferred Shares (as to which a written certification and the
indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence),
and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of an
indemnification undertaking by the applicable Holder to the Company
in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation,
upon surrender and cancellation of the certificate(s), the Company
shall execute and deliver new certificate(s) of like tenor and
date.
12.
Remedies,
Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive
Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations
shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available
under this Certificate of Designations and any of the other
Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of
specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and no remedy
contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the
provisions giving rise to such remedy. Nothing herein shall limit
any Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages
for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this
Certificate of Designations.. Amounts set forth or provided for
herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the
computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by a
Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be
subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance
thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders
and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.
The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach
or threatened breach, each Holder shall be entitled, in addition to
all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such
breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Company
shall provide all information and documentation to a Holder that is
requested by such Holder to enable such Holder to confirm the
Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this
Certificate of Designations.
13.
Noncircumvention.
The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not,
by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws or through
any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or
any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms of this Certificate of
Designations, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the
provisions of this Certificate of Designations and take all action
as may be required to protect the rights of the Holders. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of
this Certificate of Designations, the Company (i) shall not
increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable
upon the conversion of any Preferred Shares above the Conversion
Price then in effect without the consent or vote of the Required
Holders, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or
appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue
fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the
conversion of Preferred Shares and (iii) shall, so long as any
Preferred Shares are outstanding, take all action necessary to
reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued
shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of the Preferred Shares, the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the
conversion of the Preferred Shares then outstanding (without regard
to any limitations on conversion contained herein).
14.
Failure
or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a
Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or
further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.
No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by
an authorized representative of the waiving party. This Certificate
of Designations shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the
Company and all Holders and shall not be construed against any
Person as the drafter hereof.
15.
Notices. The
Company shall provide each Holder of Preferred Shares with prompt
written notice of all actions taken pursuant to the terms of this
Certificate of Designations, including in reasonable detail a
description of such action and the reason therefor. Whenever notice
is required to be given under this Certificate of Designations,
unless otherwise provided herein, such notice must be in writing
and shall be given in accordance with Section 8(c) of the Exchange
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company shall give written notice to each Holder (i) promptly
following any adjustment of the Conversion Price, setting forth in
reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such
adjustment and (ii) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on
which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with
respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (B)
with respect to any grant, issuances, or sales of any Options,
Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants,
securities or other property to all holders of shares of Common
Stock as a class or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect
to any dissolution or liquidation, provided, in each case, that
such information shall be made known to the public prior to, or
simultaneously with, such notice being provided to any
Holder.
16.
Preferred Shares
Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive
offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may
designate by notice to the Holders), a register for the Preferred
Shares, in which the Company shall record the name, address, E-mail
address and facsimile number of the Persons in whose name the
Preferred Shares have been issued, as well as the name and address
of each transferee. The Company may treat the Person in whose name
any Preferred Shares is registered on the register as the owner and
holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly made
transfers.
17.

(a)
Stockholder
Matters. Any stockholder action, approval or consent required,
desired or otherwise sought by the Company pursuant to the DGCL,

DGCL.
(b)
Amendment. This
Certificate of Designations or any provision hereof may be amended
by obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such
