The Dividend amount payable for any period other than a full Dividend Period shall be appropriately prorated and computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

(b) Dividends shall accrue from the Date of First Issuance, whether or not the Company has funds legally available therefor or such Dividends are declared. Each Dividend shall be payable in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date. Dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue upon any liquidation, redemption, repurchase or conversion of such shares pursuant to the terms hereof.
(c) The Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any cash dividends that may from time to time be paid on the Common Stock.
Section 5. Liquidation.
(a) Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company’s affairs, Lincoln shall be entitled to receive liquidating distributions, out of assets legally available for distribution to the Company’s shareholders, before any distribution of assets is made to the holders of the Common Stock or any other Junior Securities, in the amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (i) the Liquidation Preference, plus all accrued but unpaid Dividends, whether or not declared, that have not previously been added to the Liquidation Preference and (ii) if such liquidation, dissolution or winding up occurs after the three (3) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance, the cash value (at the Current Market Price) Lincoln would have received upon such event if Lincoln had converted its shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 9 immediately prior to such event. After payment in full of such liquidating distributions, Lincoln shall not be entitled to participate in any further distributions of the remaining assets of the Company as a holder of Series A Preferred Stock.
(b) In the event that the assets of the Company available for distribution to shareholders upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company shall be insufficient to pay in full the amounts payable with respect to all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and Qualifying Future Parity Stock, Lincoln and the holders of such shares of Qualifying Future Parity Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of assets of the Company in proportion to the full respective liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.
(c) For the purposes of this Section 5, a Fundamental Change (in and of itself) shall be deemed not to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company subject to this Section 5 (it being understood that an actual liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company in connection with a Fundamental Change will be subject to this Section 5).
7
Section 6. Maturity. The Series A Preferred Stock shall be perpetual unless redeemed, repurchased or converted in accordance with these Terms of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.
Section 7. Redemption.
(a) Redemption at the Option of the Company.
(i) On and after the Date of First Issuance and to but not including the three (3) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance, and on and after the six (6) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance, the Company, at its option, may redeem (out of funds legally available therefor) all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in aggregate increments of $2,500,000 at a purchase price per share in cash equal to the sum, determined as of (but excluding) the Redemption Date, of the Liquidation Preference, plus all accrued and unpaid Dividends, whether or not declared, that have not previously been added to the Liquidation Preference, (the “Redemption Price”); provided, that in the event the Redemption Price for all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock is less than $2,500,000, the Company may redeem such lesser aggregate amount. On and after the three (3) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance and to but not including the six (6) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance, the Company shall not redeem all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
(ii) If the Company elects to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7(a)(i), the “Redemption Date” shall be the date on which the Company elects to consummate such redemption. The Company shall deliver to Lincoln a written notice of such redemption (a “Redemption Notice”) not less than: (A) if the Redemption Date occurs prior to but not including the three (3) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance, five (5) Business Days prior to the Redemption Date, or (B) if the Redemption Date occurs on or after the three (3) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance, fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. The Redemption Notice must state the following: the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and that Dividends, if any, on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such Redemption Date, provided that the Redemption Price shall have been paid in full on the Redemption Date.
(b) Mechanics of Redemption.
(i) Upon the Redemption Date, the Company shall pay the Redemption Price to Lincoln by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Company shall remain liable for the payment of the Redemption Price to the extent such amounts are not paid as provided herein.
8
(ii) Shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the Redemption Date will, on and after such date, no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all powers, designations, preferences and other rights of such shares (except the right to receive from the Company the Redemption Price) shall cease and terminate; provided that in the event that any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not redeemed due to a default in payment by the Company or because the Company is otherwise unable to or fails to pay the Redemption Price in cash in full on the Redemption Date, such shares will remain outstanding and will be entitled to all of the powers, designations, preferences and other rights (including but not limited to the accrual and payment of Dividends) as provided herein.
(iii) Any redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7 (any “Redemption”) shall be payable out of cash legally available therefor. The Company shall not be permitted to effect a Redemption if the Company has insufficient funds to redeem the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be so redeemed upon the Redemption.
Section 8. Fundamental Change.
(a) Repurchase at Lincoln’s Option.
(i) In connection with any Fundamental Change, Lincoln shall have the right, at its option, to require the Company to, or to cause the Survivor of a Fundamental Change (such Survivor of a Fundamental Change, the “Acquirer”) to, purchase each and every share of Series A Preferred Stock held by Lincoln, but not less than each and every share (the “Fundamental Change Offer”), at a purchase price per share in cash, determined as of (but excluding) the Fundamental Change Effective Date, equal to: (A) if the Fundamental Change occurs prior to but not including the three (3) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance, the sum of the Liquidation Preference, plus all accrued and unpaid Dividends, whether or not declared, that have not previously been added to the Liquidation Preference; or (B) if the Fundamental Change occurs on or after the three (3) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance, the greater of (x) the Liquidation Preference, plus all accrued and unpaid Dividends, whether or not declared, that have not previously been added to the Liquidation Preference and (y) the Current Market Price of the Class A Common Stock that Lincoln would have received if it had converted each and every share of its Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 9 immediately prior to the Fundamental Change Effective Date (as applicable, the “Fundamental Change Price”).
(ii) On or before 30 days prior to any Fundamental Change Effective Date, or in the event the Company is not aware of such Fundamental Change at least 30 days prior to the Fundamental Change Effective Date, as soon as otherwise practicable, the Company shall deliver to Lincoln a written notice of such Fundamental Change (the “Fundamental Change Notice”). Such Fundamental Change Notice must state: (A) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date notice is mailed); (B) that the Fundamental Change Offer may be accepted by delivery, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Fundamental
9
Change Purchase Date, of a written revocable notice specifying that the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be repurchased; (C) the Fundamental Change Price, specifying the individual components thereof; (D) that any shares of Series A Preferred Stock not tendered for payment shall continue to be outstanding and Lincoln shall remain entitled to, among other things, the payment of Dividends thereon and the ability to exercise their conversion rights thereto and the Conversion Price following such Fundamental Change; and (E) the circumstances and material facts regarding such Fundamental Change.
(b) Mechanics of Repurchase.
(i) On the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall pay to Lincoln the Fundamental Change Price in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock to be repurchased as specified in Lincoln’s notice delivered pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii) by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Company shall remain liable for the payment of the Fundamental Change Price to the extent such amounts are not paid as provided herein.
(ii) On and after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to be repurchased on such Fundamental Change Purchase Date shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all powers, designations, preferences and other rights of Lincoln as a holder of such shares (except the right to receive from the Company the Fundamental Change Price) shall cease and terminate with respect to such shares; provided, that in the event that any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not repurchased due to a default in payment by the Company or because the Company is otherwise unable to or fails to pay the Fundamental Change Price in full on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, such shares will remain outstanding and will be entitled to all of the powers, designations, preferences and other rights (including but not limited to the payment of Dividends and the conversion rights) as provided herein.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8 to the contrary, Lincoln shall retain the right, through to the Close of Business three (3) days prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, to withdraw an election to have its shares of Series A Preferred Stock repurchased or any tender of such shares in the Fundamental Change Offer; provided, however, that where it exercises such right, the shares pertaining thereto shall not be repurchased pursuant to this Section 8.
(iv) The Company shall not be required to make a Fundamental Change Offer if an Affiliate in control of the Company makes a Fundamental Change Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 8 and purchases all shares of Series A Preferred Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Fundamental Change Offer.
(v) The Company will not enter into any agreement providing for or otherwise authorize, and the Company shall not have the corporate power to effect, a Fundamental Change unless the Acquirer agrees in writing to cause the Company to make the repurchases contemplated in and to otherwise comply in all respects with this Section 8 and agrees, for the benefit of Lincoln (including making it an express beneficiary of such
10
agreement), that to the extent the Company is not legally able to repurchase the Series A Preferred Stock, the Acquirer or an Affiliate of the Acquirer will purchase the Series A Preferred Stock on the terms set forth in this Section 8.
(vi) Any repurchase of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8 shall be payable out of any cash legally available therefor, and if there is not a sufficient amount of cash available, then the Company shall or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, to the extent necessary, sell remaining assets of the Company or of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, legally available therefor for cash and shall use the proceeds therefrom to fund the repurchase of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8. To the extent that the Company has insufficient funds, after the sale of assets contemplated by the preceding sentence, to repurchase all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8, the Company shall repurchase as many of such shares as it has cash legally available therefor and shall thereafter from time to time, as soon as it shall have cash (including upon the future sale of assets by the Company or by its Subsidiaries as contemplated by the preceding sentence) legally available therefor, make payment of as much of the remaining amount as it legally may until it has made such payment in its entirety. For the avoidance of doubt, such partial payments shall not reduce or waive the rights of Lincoln hereunder.
Section 9. Optional Conversion.
(a) Conversion at the Option of Lincoln.
(i) At any time on or after the three (3) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance, Lincoln shall have the right, at its option, to convert each and every share of its Series A Preferred Stock, but not less than each and every share, as set forth in this Section 9. Upon such an election, on the Conversion Date, Lincoln’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall convert into, at the option of the Company, either (A) a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Liquidation Preference plus all accrued and unpaid Dividends, whether or not declared, that have not previously been added to the Liquidation Preference divided by the then applicable Conversion Price, plus cash in lieu of any fractional share as determined in accordance with Section 12 hereof, or (B) the cash value of such shares of Class A Common Stock at the Current Market Price as of the Conversion Date.
(ii) Prior to the delivery of any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Section 9, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (A) comply with all federal and state laws and regulations thereunder requiring the registration of such shares with, or any approval of or consent to the delivery thereof by, any governmental authority and (B) to the extent that the Class A Common Stock is traded on a United States national or regional securities exchange, list such shares on such exchange.
11
(b) Mechanics of Optional Conversion.
(i) For Lincoln to convert its Series A Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Section 9, it must deliver written notice (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company that it elects to do so. The date of actual receipt of the Conversion Notice by the Company shall be the “Conversion Date.”
(ii) Within three (3) Trading Days of receiving a Conversion Notice, the Company shall send a confirmation of receipt of such notice to Lincoln. On or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date of receipt by the Company of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall issue and deliver to Lincoln, at the option of the Company, either: (A) a certificate, registered in the name of Lincoln or its designee, for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which Lincoln shall be entitled, as well as any cash owed in lieu of fractional shares to Lincoln as determined in accordance with Section 12 hereof, or (B) the cash value of such Class A Common Stock at the Current Market Price as of the Conversion Date.
(iii) Effective immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Conversion Date, Dividends shall no longer be declared or accrued on the converted shares of Series A Preferred Stock and such converted shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding, subject to the right of Lincoln to receive any payments to which it is otherwise entitled pursuant to Section 9 or Section 12 hereof, as applicable.
(iv) Prior to the Conversion Date, shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be deemed outstanding for any purpose, and Lincoln shall have no rights with respect to the Class A Common Stock (including voting rights, rights to respond to tender offers for the Class A Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the Class A Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion) by virtue of holding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
(v) Shares of Series A Preferred Stock duly converted in accordance with this Section 9, or otherwise reacquired by the Company, will resume the status of authorized and unissued preferred stock, undesignated as to series and, subject to any consent or vote required pursuant to Section 11 hereof, available for future issuance. The Company may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Company shall not take any such action if it would reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock below the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.
Section 10. Anti-Dilution Adjustments.
(a) The Conversion Price shall be subject to the following adjustments:
(i) Stock Dividends and Distributions. If the Company pays dividends or other distributions on the Class A Common Stock in shares of Class A Common Stock (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Class A Common Stock, which are otherwise
12
provided for in Section 10(a)(iv)), then the Conversion Price will be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution by the following fraction:
|
OS0 |
||||
| OS1 |
Where,
OS0 = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution.
OS1 = the sum of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution plus the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock constituting such dividend or distribution.
The adjustment pursuant to this clause (i) shall become effective at 9:00 a.m., New York City time on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution. For the purposes of this clause (i), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock at the time outstanding shall not include shares held in treasury by the Company.
(ii) Subdivisions, Splits and Combination of the Class A Common Stock. If the Company subdivides, splits or combines the shares of Class A Common Stock, then the Conversion Price will be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately prior to the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination by the following fraction:
|
OS0 |
||||
| OS1 |
Where,
OS0 = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination.
OS1 = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after the opening of business on the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination.
The adjustment pursuant to this clause (ii) shall become effective at 9:00 a.m., New York City time on the effective date of such subdivision, split or combination. For the purposes of this clause (ii), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock at the time outstanding shall not include shares held in treasury by the Company.
13
(iii) Issuance of Stock Purchase Rights. If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of the shares of Class A Common Stock rights or warrants (other than rights or warrants issued pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan, shareholder rights plan, share purchase plan or other similar plans) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Class A Common Stock, which are otherwise provided for in Section 10(a)(iv)) at less than the Current Market Price on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, then the Conversion Price will be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such issuance by the following fraction:
|
OS0 + Y |
||||
| OS0 + X |
Where,
OS0 = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution.
X = the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants.
Y = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants divided by the Current Market Price on such date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants.
Any adjustment pursuant to this clause (iii) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Date for such issuance. For the purposes of this clause (iii), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock at the time outstanding shall not include shares held in treasury by the Company. The Company shall not issue any such rights or warrants in respect of shares of the Class A Common Stock held in treasury by the Company. To the extent that such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Class A Common Stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants upon the exercise of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually delivered. In determining the aggregate offering price payable for such shares of Class A Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants and the value of such consideration (if other than cash, to be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors).
14
(iv) Debt or Asset Distributions. If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of shares of Class A Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock, securities (including securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Class A Common Stock), cash or other assets, including any dividend or distribution in excess of $1 million in the aggregate for all shares of Common Stock (on a per annum basis) (excluding (A) any dividend or distribution referred to in clause (i) above, (B) any rights or warrants referred to in clause (iii) above, (C) any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash for an amount that is not in excess of $1 million in the aggregate for all shares of Common Stock (on a per annum basis), (D) any consideration payable in connection with a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries referred to in clause (v) below, and (E) any dividend of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit in the case of certain spin-off transactions as described below in this clause (iv)), then the Conversion Price will be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution by the following fraction:
| SP0 - FMV |
||||
| SP0 |
Where,
SP0 = the Current Market Price per share of Class A Common Stock on such date.
FMV = the cash (in the case of cash dividends or distributions giving rise to an adjustment, the amount of such cash dividends or distributions in excess of $1 million, in the aggregate) or fair market value of the portion of the distribution applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock on such date as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” as set forth above is equal to or greater than “SP0” as set forth above, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, the Company shall be prohibited from making such dividend or distribution.
In a “spin-off’, where the Company makes a distribution to all or substantially all holders of shares of Class A Common Stock consisting of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests of, or relating to, a Subsidiary or other business unit, the Conversion Price will be adjusted on the 15th Trading Day after the effective date of the distribution by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such 15th Trading Day by the following fraction:
| MP0 |
||||
| MP0 + MPs |
15
Where,
MP0 = the volume-weighted average of the Closing Prices of the Class A Common Stock over the first 10 Trading Days commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day following the effective date of such distribution.
MPS = the volume-weighted average of the Closing Prices of the Capital Stock or equity interests representing the portion of the distribution applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock over the first 10 Trading Days commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day following the effective date of such distribution, or, if not traded on a national or regional securities exchange or over-the-counter market, the fair market value of the capital stock or equity interests representing the portion of the distribution applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock on such date as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
Any adjustment pursuant to this clause (iv) (other than with respect to spin-off transactions as described above, which shall become effective as described therein) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Date for such distribution.
(v) Self-Tender Offers and Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries successfully completes a tender or exchange offer for the Class A Common Stock where the cash and the value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Class A Common Stock exceeds the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately succeeding the expiration of the tender or exchange offer, then the Conversion Price will be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the Close of Business on the expiration date of the offer by the following fraction:
| OS0 x SP0 |
||||
| AC + (SP0 x OS1) |
Where,
SP0 = the Closing Price per share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately succeeding the expiration of the tender or exchange offer.
OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the expiration of the tender or exchange offer, including any shares validly tendered and not withdrawn.
16
OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the expiration of the tender or exchange offer.
AC = the aggregate cash and fair market value of the other consideration payable in the tender or exchange offer, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors with respect to such other consideration.
Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (v) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the Trading Day immediately succeeding the expiration of the tender or exchange offer. In the event that the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to be such Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made.
(vi) Rights Plans. To the extent that the Company has a rights plan in effect with respect to the Class A Common Stock on the Conversion Date, upon conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, Lincoln will receive, in addition to the shares of Class A Common Stock, the rights under the rights plan, unless, prior to the Conversion Date, the rights have separated from the shares of Class A Common Stock, in which case the Conversion Price will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company had made a distribution to all holders of the Class A Common Stock as described in clause (iv) above, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
(vii) Issuances Below the Current Market Price. If, prior to the three (3) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance the Company issues or sells, or agrees to issue or sell, to any of its Affiliates, excluding equity compensation, any Class A Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Class A Common Stock) for consideration per share (in the case of convertible or exchangeable securities, on an as-converted basis) less than the Current Market Price, then, unless the Company shall offer Lincoln the right to participate in such sale or issuance at the same price and otherwise on the same terms as such Affiliate on a pro rata basis (measured assuming the conversion by Lincoln of each share of Series A Preferred Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect, whether or not the Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to each such issuance will be reduced, effective immediately after such issuance, to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance by the following fraction:
|
OS0 + (AC/SP) |
||||
| OS1 |
17
Where,
OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance.
AC = the aggregate consideration paid or payable for such shares of Class A Common Stock or convertible securities.
SP = the Current Market Price.
OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance (including, in the case of convertible or exchangeable securities, on an as-converted basis
(b) The Company may make such decreases in the Conversion Price, in addition to any other decreases required by this Section 10, as the Board of Directors deems advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of the Class A Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of shares of Class A Common Stock (or issuance of rights or warrants to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reason.
(c) All adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be calculated to the nearest 1/10th of a cent. No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required if such adjustment would be less than $0.01; provided that any adjustments which by reason of this subparagraph are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided further that effective on the Conversion Date in the case of conversion pursuant to Section 9 hereof, adjustments to the Conversion Price will be made with respect to any such adjustment carried forward and which has not been taken into account before such date. If one or more events occurs requiring an adjustment to be made to the Conversion Price during the same time period, adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be made to reflect the combined impact of all Conversion Price adjustment events during such period.
(d) Whenever the Conversion Price is to be adjusted in accordance with Section 10(a) or Section 10(b), the Company shall: (i) compute the Conversion Price in accordance with Section 10(a) or Section 10(b), taking into account the $0.01 threshold set forth in Section 10(c) hereof; (ii) as soon as practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 10(a) or Section 10(b), taking into account the $0.01 threshold set forth in Section 10(c) hereof, provide, or cause to be provided, a written notice to Lincoln of the occurrence of such event; and (iii) as soon as practicable following the determination of the revised Conversion Price in accordance with Section 10(a) or Section 10(b) hereof, provide, or cause to be provided, a written notice to Lincoln setting forth in reasonable detail the method by which the adjustment to the Conversion Price was determined and setting forth the revised Conversion Price and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each and every share of Series A Preferred Stock at such revised Conversion Price.
(e) The Company will not take any action of the type described in Section 10(a) with respect to any other class of Capital Stock of the Company, including Class B Common Stock, unless such action is taken on a pro rata basis with respect to each share of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing prohibition, if any such action is taken with respect to shares of any class of Common Stock, including Class B Common Stock, but is not taken on a pro rata basis with respect to each share of Class A Common Stock, such adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 10 and to avoid unjust or inequitable results to Lincoln.
18
Section 11. Voting Rights. Lincoln shall not have any voting rights, including the right to elect any directors, except for voting rights, if any, required by law and as set forth in this Section 11. If at any time following the Date of First Issuance any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Lincoln:
(a) Amend, alter, waive or repeal any provision of its Charter, bylaws or the terms of any series of preferred stock, including these Terms of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, in any manner that adversely affects the rights, powers, privileges or preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock, or increase the authorized number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, or issue any additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, including debt or other securities that are convertible into Series A Preferred Stock by their terms;
(b) Amend, alter, waive or repeal any provision of its Charter, bylaws or the terms of any preferred stock, including these Terms of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, to authorize or create, or increase the authorized amount of, any shares of Capital Stock of the Company ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to either or both the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (“Senior Stock”), or issue, or reclassify into, any Senior Stock, including debt or other securities that are convertible into Senior Stock by their terms;
(c) Consummate a Reorganization Event, unless such Reorganization Event complies with Section 15 hereof; or
(d) Authorize, commit or agree to take any of the actions set forth in Sections 11(a), 11(b) or 11(c).
Section 12. Fractional Shares.
(a) No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock will be issued as a result of the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional share of Class A Common Stock otherwise issuable in respect of a conversion pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company shall pay an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the same fraction of the Conversion Price.
(b) If more than one share of the Series A Preferred Stock is surrendered for conversion at one time, the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock so surrendered.
19
Section 13. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Class A Common Stock, solely for issuance upon the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Section 9 hereof, free from any preemptive or other similar rights, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon the conversion of all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.
Section 14. Certificates and Book-Entry. No certificates representing the Series A Preferred Stock shall be issued. Instead, Lincoln and the Company shall maintain records showing (i) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Lincoln, (ii) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that have been redeemed, repurchased or converted in accordance with these Terms of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and (iii) the date(s) of such redemption(s), repurchase(s) and/or conversion(s).
Section 15. Reorganization Events. The Company shall not effect any Reorganization Event unless (i) the surviving Person in such Reorganization Event, if other than the Company, is an entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and following such Reorganization Event the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding or, in the event such surviving Person is not the Company, the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are converted into or exchanged for preference securities of the surviving Person, in each case having such rights, powers, privileges, and preferences that are not less favorable to Lincoln than the rights, powers, privileges, and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such Reorganization Event (and that otherwise comply with these Terms of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock) and (ii) the Company gives Lincoln at least 30 days’ written notice prior to consummating such Reorganization Event, including the terms of such Reorganization Event, and the surviving Person in such Reorganization Event (if other than the Company) expressly assumes by written instrument delivered to Lincoln the obligations of the Company set forth herein.
Section 16. Miscellaneous.

The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Class A Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to which such shares are issued or delivered were registered, or in respect of any payment to any Person other than a payment to the registered holder thereof, and shall not be required to make any such issuance, delivery or payment unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance, delivery or payment has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid or is not payable.
