ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE

 

Section 1.1. Purchase and Sale.

 

(a)       On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”), Sellers shall sell to Purchaser, free and clear of all Liens (other than any restrictions under the Securities Act and Blue Sky Laws), and Purchaser shall purchase from Sellers, all of the Purchased Shares. In furtherance thereof, at the Closing each Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, free and clear of all Liens (other than any restrictions under the Securities Act and Blue Sky Laws), any stock certificates representing the Purchased Shares, each duly endorsed in blank or with duly executed stock powers attached, with all required stock transfer tax stamps affixed thereto.

 

(b)       The aggregate consideration for the Purchased Shares acquired by Purchaser hereunder (collectively, the “Transaction Consideration”) shall consist of $1,750,000 to be paid in the form of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series F Preferred”), by Rennova and to be issued to the Sellers, and as per Schedule E, as the total consideration and such shares of Series F Preferred shall have terms substantially similar to those contained on Schedule O.

 

(c)       Prior to a formal closing of the acquisition as proposed herein the Parties agree that it is beneficial to immediately proceed with a business relationship whereby upon signing this Agreement:

 

(i)       Rennova will use its sales and marketing capabilities to generate diagnostics testing and reporting for the Company. Orders for this business will be generated either directly to the Company or from Rennova owned laboratories to the Company at an agreed upon and contracted price;

 

(ii)       Rennova’s billing subsidiary will immediately assume responsibility on a contracted basis to generate and manage all billing needs for the Company; and

 

(iii)       Prior to the date hereof, Rennova has advanced a total of $326,657.83 in keeping with the attached Schedule F, which cash will be treated as a pre-payment for diagnostics and reporting services that Rennova owned laboratories may request from the Company. From the date hereof through the Closing, upon request by the Company Rennova may advance up to additional $100,000.00 for the same purposes as the funds that have been advanced prior to the date hereof. To the extent such cash advanced (either prior to or after the date hereof) to the Company is in excess of any payments for any actual diagnostics and reporting services, it shall be considered a loan by Rennova to the Company (the "Loan").

This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been duly and validly executed and delivered by each Seller and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each Seller, enforceable against such Seller in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at Law or in equity).

 

Section 2.2. Conflicts; Consents of Third Parties. The execution and delivery by each Seller of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which he or it is a party, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and compliance by each Seller with the provisions hereof or thereof do not and will not, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice: (a) conflict with, violate, or result in a breach of any provision of the Governing Documents of any Seller; (b) conflict with, violate, result in the breach or termination of, constitute a default under, result in an acceleration of, constitute a change of control under, or create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify or cancel, any Contract to which such Seller is a party or by which such Seller or his or its properties, assets or Purchased Shares are subject; (c) violate any Law or any Order by which such Seller is bound; or (d) result in the creation of any Liens, subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, proxies, commitments or Contracts of any kind.

(a)       solicit, facilitate or encourage the initiation of any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Purchaser or its Affiliates) relating to a possible Acquisition Transaction;

 29 

 

 

Section 5.10. Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

 

(a)       Each Seller acknowledges that he or it is familiar with the trade secrets and other confidential information of the Company. Therefore, and in further consideration of the compensation to be paid to Sellers hereunder, each Seller agrees to the covenants set forth in this Agreement and acknowledges that Purchaser and Rennova would not have entered into this Agreement but for Sellers’ agreement to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

 

(b)       For a period of two (2) years from and after the Closing Date, no Seller shall, directly or indirectly, own, operate, lease, manage, control, engage in, invest in, lend to, own any debt or equity security of, permit his or its name to be used by, act as consultant or advisor to, render services for (alone or in association with any person, firm, corporate or other business organization) or otherwise assist in any manner any Person in any genetics diagnostics business; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit a Seller from (i) being a beneficial owner of less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation or (ii) performing any of the above acts in any business that is not competitive with the Business.

 

(c)       For a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing Date, no Seller shall directly or indirectly: (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee or consultant of the Company, Rennova or Purchaser (collectively, the “Company Parties”) to leave the employ of, or engagement with, any of the Company Parties, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any of the Company Parties and any employee or consultant thereof, (ii) hire or engage any person who is or was within two (2) years of the Closing Date an employee or consultant of any of the Company Parties, or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any person or entity who is or was within two (2) years a customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee or other business relation of any of the Company Parties to cease doing business with any of the Company Parties, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee or business relation and any of the Company Parties. No Seller shall ever make or publish any statement or communication which is disparaging, negative or unflattering with respect to any of the Company Parties, or any of their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents.

 

(d)       The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Purchaser and each of its Affiliates, successors and assigns would suffer irreparable harm from a breach of this Section 5.10 by any Seller and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach. Therefore, in the event a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.10, Purchaser and each of its Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, shall be entitled to specific performance, and injunctive and other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security and at the expense of the breaching Seller, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses). The restrictive covenants set forth herein shall be construed as agreements independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of any Seller against Purchaser or any Affiliate, whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Purchaser or any Affiliate of any restrictive covenant contained in this Agreement. Each of Purchaser and its Affiliates has fully performed all obligations entitling it to the restrictive covenants set forth herein, and such restrictive covenants therefore are not executory or otherwise subject to rejection under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code.

 

 

 

 30 

 

 

(e)       If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares any term or provision of this Section 5.10 to be invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified to cover the maximum duration, scope or area permitted by Law. In addition, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by any Seller of this Section 5.10, the three (3) year period described in clauses (b) and (c) above shall be tolled with respect to such Seller until such breach or violation has been duly cured. Each Seller agrees that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.10 are reasonable.

 

Section 5.11. Resignations. At the Closing, the Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser written resignations, effective as of the Closing Date, of the officers and directors of the Company requested by Purchaser at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing.

From or after the date hereof through the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement, no Seller shall convert or request or vote to redeem any shares of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred or Series C Preferred. All Sellers that have options to purchase any security of the Company including under the 2004 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan agree that such options shall be cancelled at Closing for no consideration.

Section 7.3. Indemnification Procedures.

 

(a)       Third Party Claims. In the case of any claim asserted by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) against a party entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), notice shall be given by the Indemnified Party to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought. If the Indemnifying Party provides a written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of notice of such claim that it will indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from all Losses related to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party) to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim or any litigation with a third party resulting therefrom; provided, however, that (i) the counsel for the Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation shall be subject to the approval of the Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense, (iii) the failure by any Indemnified Party to give notice of a Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure to give notice, the defense against such claim is materially impaired, and (iv) the fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the assumption of a Third Party Claim hereunder by the Indemnifying Party shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any Third Party Claim, shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party or that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a general release from any and all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of the defense against a Third Party Claim if (1) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (2) the claim seeks an injunction, specific performance or any other equitable or non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party; (3) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Third Party Claim would be materially detrimental to or materially injure the Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects; (4) the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party; or (5) the Indemnifying Party fails to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not accept the defense of a Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of the written notice thereof from the Indemnified Party described above, the Indemnified Party shall have the full right to defend against any such claim or demand. In any event, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and the records of each shall be reasonably available to the other with respect to such defense.

 

 

 

 35 

 

 

(b)       Non-Third Party Claims. With respect to any claim for indemnification hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party written notice of such claim. The Indemnifying Party may acknowledge and agree by notice to the Indemnified Party in writing to satisfy such claim within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice of such claim from the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party shall dispute such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice of such dispute to the Indemnified Party within such fifteen (15) day period. If the Indemnifying Party shall fail to provide written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party either acknowledges and agrees to pay such claim or disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to pay such claim in full and to have waived any right to dispute such claim.

 

Section 7.4. Expiration of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the date which is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties stated herein in Articles II and IV and Sections 3.1 and 3.3 shall survive indefinitely. All indemnification obligations shall survive the Closing indefinitely. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all claims (and matters relating thereto) made in writing prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of such survival period and shall survive until finally resolved.

 

Section 7.5. Indemnification Payments to Purchaser Indemnitees; Right of Set-Off.

 

(a)       Any indemnification to which Purchaser Indemnitees are entitled under this Agreement as a consequence of any Losses they may suffer shall be made in immediately available funds by wire transfer to a bank account to be designated by Purchaser. In the event that any Purchaser Indemnitee seeks to recover against any Seller for any Loss, liability or other obligation pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, and does not receive payment in cash from such Seller within 15 days of the demand in writing therefor, Purchaser or such Purchaser Indemnitee shall have the right to recover such amount by set-off or cancellation against: (i) any amount payable by Purchaser or any Affiliate to such Seller under the Employment Agreement; (ii) any amount payable by Purchaser or any Affiliate to such Seller with regard to any other obligation owed to such Seller; and/or (iii) the Series F Preferred held by such Seller. For purposes of any set-off against or cancellation of the Series F Preferred, (x) the number of shares of Series F Preferred to be transferred to Purchaser or such Purchaser Indemnitee by the applicable Seller and cancelled in satisfaction of such Loss, liability or other obligation shall be determined by dividing the aggregate amount of such Loss, liability or other obligation by $1.95, as adjusted for any splits, equity dividends or similar transactions; and (y) the applicable Sellers shall cooperate as requested to transfer the applicable portion of such securities to Purchaser or such other applicable Purchaser Indemnitee for cancellation.

 

 

 

 36 

 

 

(b)       The indemnification liability of any Seller under this Article VII shall be limited to an amount of funds equal to the number of shares of Series F Preferred issued to such Seller at Closing multiplied by $1.95; provided, that, such limitation shall not apply in the case of intentional breach, intentional misrepresentation or fraud.

 

Section 7.6. Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Transaction Consideration to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

 

Section 7.7. Right to Indemnification Not Affected by Knowledge or Waiver. The right to indemnification, payment of Losses or other remedy based upon breach of representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant, agreement or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Losses or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations.

Section 9.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, portable document format or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

 

Section 9.10. Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided herein, no remedy herein conferred upon a Party hereto is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy. No single or partial exercise by a Party hereto of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof. Purchaser, Rennova or any of their Affiliates may, at their election, set-off against any amounts due to any Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, any Losses or other amounts for which such Seller (or any Affiliate thereof) may be responsible to pay to Purchaser, Rennova or any of their Affiliates.

 

Section 9.11. Schedules. The schedules referred to herein are attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. The schedules delivered by Sellers to Purchaser and Rennova in connection with the execution of this Agreement shall be arranged to correspond to the specific sections and subsections of this Agreement. If any Party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant.

 

Section 9.12. Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an article, section, paragraph, clause, schedule, such reference shall be deemed to be to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The text of all schedules is incorporated herein by reference. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” As used herein, words in the singular will be held to include the plural and vice versa (unless the context otherwise requires), words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender (or the neuter) as the context requires, and the terms “hereof”, “herein”, and “herewith” and words of similar import will, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.

 

Section 9.13. Arm’s Length Negotiations. Each Party herein expressly represents and warrants to all other Parties hereto that (a) said Party has had the opportunity to seek and has obtained the advice of its own legal, tax and business advisors before executing this Agreement; and (b) this Agreement is the result of arm’s length negotiations conducted by and among the Parties and their respective counsel.

 

Section 9.14. Construction. The Parties agree and acknowledge that they have jointly participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event of an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumptions or burdens of proof shall arise favoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise.

 

 

 

 45 

 

 

Section 9.15. Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed by Sellers in accordance with the specific terms hereof or were otherwise breached by Sellers. It is accordingly agreed that Purchaser shall be entitled, without posting a bond or similar indemnity, to an injunction or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms. Each Seller agrees that he or it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that Purchaser has an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties agree that the Company and Sellers shall not be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms hereof.

 

Section 9.16. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

 

Section 9.17. Time of Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

1.               Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be designated as “Series F Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) and the number of shares constituting the Series F Preferred Stock shall be 1,750,000. Such number of shares may be decreased by resolution of the Board adopted and filed pursuant to the DGCL, Section 151(g), or any successor provision; provided, that no such decrease shall reduce the number of authorized shares of Series F Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities or other rights to acquire shares of Series F Preferred Stock. Each share of Series F Preferred Stock shall have a stated value equal to $1.00.

 

2.               Ranking. With respect to (a) dividends (as provided in Section 3 below), the Series F Preferred Stock shall rank (i) on parity with the Corporation's (x) common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), (y) Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), and (z) Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series G Preferred Stock”); (ii) senior to any class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation hereafter created not specifically ranking by its terms senior to or on a parity with the Series F Preferred Stock; and (iii) junior to any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms senior to the Series F Preferred Stock; and (b) a Liquidation Event (as defined below), (1) on parity with the Common Stock, (2) senior to any class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation hereafter created not specifically ranking by its terms senior to or on a parity with the Series F Preferred Stock; and (3) junior to the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series G Preferred Stock and any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation created concurrently herewith or hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms senior to the Series F Preferred Stock.

 

3.               Dividends. From and after the date of the issuance of any shares of Series F Preferred Stock (“Original Issuance Date”), each holder of outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive on account of such shares (participating pari passu with the holders of Common Stock), dividends in cash out of any funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment thereof, at the same time any dividend will be paid or declared and set apart for payment on any shares of any Common Stock, in an amount equal to the amount which such holder would have been entitled to receive if such Series F Preferred Stock were converted to Common Stock under Section 6(a) on the date such dividend is paid or declared and set apart for payment (assuming for purposes of this Section 3 that all outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock are convertible on such date).

 

 

 

 Schedule 0-1 

 

 

4.               Voting Rights. Each holder of outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Common Stock. Each share of Series F Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote, except as otherwise required by law. Except as provided by law, holders of Series F Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class.

 

5.               Liquidation Rights. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (each, a “Liquidation Event”), whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive and to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders (participating pari passu with the holders of Common Stock), the amount which such holder would have been entitled to receive if such Series F Preferred Stock were converted into Common Stock under Section 6 on the date of such liquidation event (the “Liquidation Preference”) assuming for purposes of this Section 5 that all outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock are convertible on such date. From and after the distribution of such amount, such holder's shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all rights of such holder relating to such shares shall cease and terminate.

 

6.               Conversion.

 

(a)             Right to Convert. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6, each holder of outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert, at any time after __________, 2017, some or all of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock then held by such holder into that number of fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (i) 1.95 multiplied by the number of such shares of Series F Preferred Stock to be converted by (ii) the Conversion Price (as defined below) as of the time of such conversion. Such right of conversion shall be exercised by a holder of outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock by delivery of a written notice to the Corporation stating that the holder elects to convert a stated number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock into Common Stock and by surrender of a certificate or certificates for the shares so to be converted (the “Conversion Certificates”) to the Corporation at its principal office (or such other office or agency of the Corporation as the Corporation may designate by notice in writing to the holders of outstanding shares of the Series F Preferred Stock) at any time during its usual business hours on the date set forth in such notice.

 

For purposes of this Section 6(a), the ''Conversion Price” shall be, as of any specified date with respect to any share of Common Stock, the greater of (A) $1.95 or (B), (i) if the Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange, the average closing sales price of the Common Stock reported on the exchange for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date (as defined below); or (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed on any national securities exchange but is quoted on an inter-dealer quotation system, the average of the bid and ask prices for the ten trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date.

 

(b)             Issuance of Certificate; Time Conversion Effected. Promptly after the receipt of the written notice referred to in Section 6(a) and the surrender of the Conversion Certificates as provided in Section 6(a), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to a holder exercising conversion rights under Section 6(a), at such holder's address as it shall appear on the records of the Corporation, (i) a certificate or certificates representing that number of fully-paid non-assessable shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such shares of Series F Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6(a) and (ii) to the extent that such holder exercises his, her or its right to convert some but not all of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock then held by such holder pursuant to Section 6(a), a certificate or certificates for that number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock represented by the Conversion Certificates for which such holder is not exercising his, her or its conversion rights under Section 6(a) (if any). Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the date on which the written notice delivered pursuant to Section 6(a) is actually received by the Corporation and the Conversion Certificates shall have been duly surrendered (the "Conversion Date"). All dividends accrued but unpaid with respect to any shares of Series F Preferred Stock converted under Section 6(a) shall he paid in cash within seven (7) days following the date on which such shares are converted (unless there are no legally available funds with which to make such cash payment, in which event such cash payment shall he made as soon as possible).

 

(c)             Effect of Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock on Conversions. In case the Corporation shall at any time from and after the Original Issuance Date subdivide by stock split, stock dividend, or otherwise its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series F Preferred Stock is convertible shall be proportionately increased; in case the Corporation shall at any time combine (by reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a lesser number of shares, the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series F Preferred Stock is convertible shall be proportionately decreased.

 

 

 

 Schedule 0-2 

 

 

(d)             Reorganization or Reclassification. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization or reclassification, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby each holder of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock as described in this Certificate of Designation have the right to receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately therefor receivable upon the conversion of such share or shares of Series F Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities, or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such Common Stock immediately receivable upon such conversion had such reorganization or reclassification not taken place. In any such case, appropriate provisions shall he made with respect to the rights and interests of such holder to the end that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of such conversion rights.

 

(e)             Mandatory Conversion; Cancellation. Any shares of Series F Preferred Stock outstanding on ___________ _____, 2021 (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”) shall he automatically converted into that number of fully-paid non-assessable shares of Common Stock which the holder thereof would have been entitled to receive had such shares of Series F Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 6(a) on the Mandatory Conversion Date. All certificates evidencing the shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by a holder shall, on the Mandatory Conversion Date or such earlier date on which such certificates are so surrendered for conversion, be deemed to have been retired and canceled and the shares of Series F Preferred Stock represented thereby converted into shares of Common Stock as described above for all purposes. Upon the mandatory conversion of shares of Series F Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6(e), all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon shall be paid in cash within seven (7) days following the date on which such shares are converted (unless there are no legally available funds with which to make such cash payment, in which event such cash payment shall be made as soon as possible). The Corporation shall, promptly following the Mandatory Conversion Date, or such earlier date as the certificates representing all of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by a holder shall have been duly surrendered by such holder pursuant to this Section 6(e), issue and deliver to such holder, at such holder's address as it shall appear on the records of the Corporation, a certificate or certificates representing that number of fully-paid non-assessable shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares pursuant to this Section 6(e).

 

7.               Redemption.

 

(a)             Optional Redemption By Corporation. At any time, from and after ________, 2017, the Corporation has the right to redeem all or any portion of the then outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock (a "Redemption") for a price per share equal to $1.95 for such share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends on such share (the "Redemption Price"). Any such Redemption will occur not more than sixty (60) days following delivery by the Corporation of a written election notice containing the information set forth in Section 7(b) below (the "Redemption Election Notice") to the holders of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock to be redeemed. The Corporation is not required to redeem the shares of the Series F Preferred Stock proportionately and may redeem shares held by one holder or any number of holders in combination. The allocation among the holders or shares of Series F Preferred Stock to be redeemed is solely at the discretion of the Corporation. In exchange for the surrender to the Corporation by the respective holders of Series F Preferred Stock of their certificate or certificates representing such shares in accordance with Section 7(c) below, the aggregate Redemption Price for all shares held by each holder of shares of Series F Preferred Stock being redeemed will be payable in cash in immediately available funds to the respective holders of the Series F Preferred Stock on the applicable Redemption Date.

 

(b)             Redemption Notice. In a Redemption Election Notice delivered pursuant to Section 7(a), the Corporation shall state: (a) the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by the holder that the Corporation will redeem on the Redemption Date; (b) the Redemption Price; (c) the date of the closing of the redemption (the "Redemption Date"); and (d) the manner and place designated for surrender by the holder to the Corporation of such holder's certificates representing the shares of Series F Preferred Stock to be redeemed.

 

(c)             Surrender of Certificates. On or before the Redemption Date, each applicable holder of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares to the Corporation, in the manner and place designated in the Redemption Election Notice, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto), or, in the event the certificate or certificates are lost, stolen or missing, shall deliver an affidavit of loss, in the manner and place designated in the Redemption Election Notice. The Corporation shall cancel and retire each surrendered certificate and shall thereafter make payment of the applicable Redemption Price by certified check or wire transfer to the holder of record of such certificate.

 

(d)             Rights Subsequent to Redemption. If, on the applicable Redemption Date, the Redemption Price is paid (or tendered for payment) for any of the shares to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, then on such date all rights of the holder in the shares so redeemed and paid or tendered will cease, and such shares will no longer be deemed issued and outstanding.
