(b) Each holder of Preferred Stock who elects to convert the same into shares of Common Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock or Common Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of shares of Preferred Stock being converted. Thereupon the Corporation shall promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled upon such conversion and shall promptly pay (i) in cash or, to the extent sufficient funds are not then legally available therefor, in Common Stock (at the Common Stock’s fair market value determined by the Board as of the date of such conversion), any declared and unpaid dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock being converted and (ii) in cash (at the Common Stock’s fair market value determined by the Board as of the date of conversion) the value of any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise issuable to any holder of Preferred Stock.

-11-
(c) The Class A Junior Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into Common Stock at the option of the holder thereof.
5.2 Automatic Conversion.
(a) Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock for the account of the Corporation on an internationally recognized securities exchange or trading system in which (i) the aggregate public offering price (before deduction of underwriters’ discounts and commissions) equals or exceeds Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000), (ii) with respect to the Series F Preferred Stock only, the public offering price per share of which is not less than one (1) times the Original Issue Price of the Series F Preferred Stock, (iii) with respect to the Series E Preferred Stock only, the public offering price per share of which is not less than one (1) times the Original Issue Price of the Series E Preferred Stock and (iv) with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock only, the public offering price per share of which is not less than two (2) times the Original Issue Price of the Series D Preferred Stock (a “Qualified Initial Public Offering”). In addition each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically convert upon the Corporation’s receipt of the written consent of the holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of Senior Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series and on an as converted to Common Stock basis); provided, however, that in the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to this sentence in which the holders of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the then outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock do not consent or agree, then in such case the conversion shall not be effective as to any shares of Series G Preferred Stock; provided further, that in the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to this sentence in which the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock do not consent or agree, then in such case the conversion shall not be effective as to any shares of Series F Preferred Stock; provided further, that in the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to this sentence in which the holders of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the then outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock do not consent or agree, then in such case the conversion shall not be effective as to any shares of Series E Preferred Stock. Upon such automatic conversion as provided in this Section 5.2(a), any declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1(b).
(b) Each share of Class A Junior Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the closing of a firm. commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock for the account of the Corporation on an internationally recognized securities exchange or trading system in which the aggregate public offering price (before deduction of
-12-
underwriters’ discounts and commissions) equals or exceeds Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000). In addition, each share of Class A Junior Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into Common Stock upon the Corporation’s receipt of the written consent of the holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of Senior Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series and on an as converted to Common Stock basis) to convert the outstanding shares of Class A Junior Preferred Stock into Common Stock provided that all outstanding shares of Senior Preferred Stock are similarly converted into Common Stock upon such event.
(c) (i) Upon the occurrence of any event specified in subparagraph 5.2(a) (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted into Common Stock automatically without the need for any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of preferred Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. Upon the occurrence of such automatic conversion of the Preferred Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock or Common Stock (or the date the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificate or certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executed an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any losses incurred by it in connection with such certificates). Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates (or as set forth in the indemnity agreement), a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock surrendered were convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred.
(ii) Upon the occurrence of any event specified in subparagraph 5.2(b) above, the outstanding shares of Class A Junior Preferred Stock shall be converted into Common Stock automatically without the need for any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Class A Junior Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided below, or the bolder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. Upon the occurrence of such automatic conversion of the Class A Junior Preferred Stock, the holders of
-13-
Class A Junior Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Class A Junior Preferred Stock or Common Stock (or the date the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificate or certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executed an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any losses incurred by it in connection with such certificates). Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates (or as set forth in the indemnity agreement), a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Class A Junior Preferred Stock surrendered were convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred.
5.3 Conversion Price.
(a) Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible in accordance with subsection 5.1 or subsection 5.2(a) above into the number of shares of Common Stock which results from dividing the Original Issue Price for such series of Preferred Stock by the conversion price for such series of Preferred Stock that is in effect at the time of conversion (the “Preferred Stock Conversion Price”). The initial Preferred Stock Conversion Price for each such series of Preferred Stock shall be the Original Issue Price for such series of Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock Conversion Price of each series of the Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided below. Following each adjustment of the Preferred Stock Conversion Price, such adjusted Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall remain in effect until a further adjustment of such Conversion Price hereunder.
(b) Each share of Class A Junior Preferred Stock shall be convertible in accordance with subsection 5.2(b) above into the number of shares of Common Stock which results from dividing the Class A Junior Preferred Liquidation Preference for the Class A Junior Preferred Stock by the conversion price for the Class A Junior Preferred Stock that is in effect at the time of conversion (the “Class A Junior Conversion Price” and together with the Preferred Stock Conversion Price, the “Conversion Price”). The initial Class A Junior Conversion Price shall be the Class A Junior Preferred Liquidation Preference. The Class A Junior Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided below. Following each adjustment of the Class A Junior Conversion Price, such adjusted Class A Junior Conversion Price shall remain in effect until a further adjustment of such Conversion Price hereunder.
5.4 Adjustment Upon Common Stock Event. Upon the happening of a Common Stock Event (as hereinafter defined), the Conversion Price of each such series of Preferred Stock and the Class A Junior Preferred Stock shall, simultaneously with the happening of such Common Stock Event, be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price of such series of Preferred Stock and the Class A Junior Preferred Stock, in effect immediately prior to such Common Stock Event by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such Common Stock Event, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after such Common Stock Event, and the product so obtained shall
-14-
thereafter be the Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock and the Class A Junior Preferred Stock, respectively. The Conversion Price for a series of Preferred Stock and the Class A Junior Preferred Stock shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of each subsequent Common Stock Event. As used herein, the term the “Common Stock Event” shall mean at any time or from time to time after the filing of this Restated Certificate, (i) the issuance by the Corporation of additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (ii) a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, without a corresponding subdivision of the Preferred Stock and the Class A Junior Preferred Stock, or (iii) a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, without a corresponding combination of the Preferred Stock and the Class A Junior Preferred Stock.
5.5 Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. If at any time or from time to time after the filing of this Restated Certificate, the Corporation pays a dividend or makes another distribution to the holders of the Common Stock payable in securities of the Corporation, other than an event constituting a Common Stock Event, then in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of the Preferred Stock and the Class A Junior Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion thereof, the amount of securities of the Corporation which they would have received had their Preferred Stock and Class A Junior Preferred Stock, as applicable, been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event (or such record date, as applicable) and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event (or such record date, as applicable) to and including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock and the Class A Junior Preferred Stock or with respect to such other securities by their terms.
5.6 Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If at any time or from time to time after the filing of this Restated Certificate, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock and the Class A Junior Preferred Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than by a Common Stock Event or a stock dividend, reorganization, merger, or consolidation provided for elsewhere in this Section 5), then in any such event each holder of Preferred Stock and Class A Junior Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock and Class A Junior Preferred Stock, as applicable, could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.
-15-
5.7 Reorganizations, Mergers and Consolidations. If at any time or from time to time after the filing of this Restated Certificate, there is a reorganization of the Corporation (other than a recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 5) or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation (except an event which is governed under subsection 3.7), then, as a part of such reorganization, merger or consolidation, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Preferred Stock and Class A Junior Preferred Stock thereafter shall be entitled to receive, upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and Class A Junior Preferred Stock, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation, or of such successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such reorganization, merger or consolidation. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock and Class A Junior Preferred Stock after the reorganization, merger or consolidation to the end that the provisions of this Section 5 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and Class A Junior Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent to the provisions hereof as may be practicable. This subsection 5.7 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, mergers and consolidations.
5.8 Sale of Shares Below Conversion Price.
(a) Adjustment Formula. If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date the Corporation issues or sells, or is deemed by the provisions of this subsection 5.8 to have issued or sold, Additional Shares of Common Stock (as hereinafter defined), other than in connection with a Common Stock Event as provided in subsection 5.4, a dividend or distribution as provided in subsection 5.5 or a recapitalization, reclassification or other change as provided in subsection 5.6, or a reorganization, merger or consolidation as provided in subsection 5.7, for an Effective Price (as hereinafter defined) that is less than the Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (or deemed issue or sale), then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock shall be reduced, as of the close of business on the date of such issue or sale, to the price obtained by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction:
(i) The numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of Common Stock Equivalents Outstanding (as hereinafter defined) immediately prior to such issue or sale of Additional Shares of Common Stock plus (B) the quotient obtained by dividing the Aggregate Consideration Received (as hereinafter defined) by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or sold (or deemed so issued and sold) by the Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale; and
(ii) The denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of Common Stock Equivalents Outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale plus (B) the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or sold (or deemed so issued and sold).
-16-
(b) Certain Definitions. For the purpose of making any adjustment required under this subsection 5.8:
(i) The “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation, or deemed issued as provided in Section 5.8(c) below, whether or not subsequently reacquired or retired by the Corporation, other than:

(C) any shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, Class A Junior Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock (and/or options or warrants therefore) issued other than primarily for equity financing purposes to parties that are (i) strategic partners investing in connection with a commercial relationship with the Corporation or (ii) providing the Corporation with equipment leases, real property leases, loans, credit lines, guaranties of indebtedness, cash price reductions or similar transactions, under arrangements, in each case, approved by a majority of the Board;
(D) shares of Common Stock, Class A Junior Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the bona fide business acquisition of another corporation or entity by the Corporation by consolidation, merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets, or other reorganization in which the Corporation acquires, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of such other corporation or entity or fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of such other corporation or entity or fifty percent (50%) or more of the equity ownership of such other entity; provided that such transaction or series of transactions has been approved by the Board;

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

-18-
(vi) The “Rights or Options” shall mean warrants, options or other rights to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities.
(c) Deemed Issuances. For the purpose of making any adjustment to the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock required under this subsection 5.8, if the Corporation issues or sells any Rights or Options or Convertible Securities and if the Effective Price of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Rights or Options and/or the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (computed without reference to any additional or similar protective or antidilution clauses) is less than the Conversion Price then in effect for such series of Preferred Stock, then the Corporation shall be deemed to have issued (each a “Deemed Issuance”), at the time of the issuance of such Rights, Options or Convertible Securities, that number of Additional Shares of Common Stock that is equal to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of such Rights, Options or Convertible Securities upon their issuance and to have received, as the Aggregate Consideration Received for the issuance of such shares, an amount equal to the total amount of the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for the issuance of such Rights or Options or Convertible Securities, plus, in the case of such Rights or Options, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the exercise in full of such Rights or Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) upon the conversion or exchange thereof; provided that:
(i) if the minimum amounts of such consideration cannot be ascertained in such Deemed Issuance, but are a function of antidilution or similar protective clauses, then the Corporation shall be deemed to have received the minimum amounts of consideration without reference to such clauses;
(ii) if the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of Rights or Options or the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities is reduced over time or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of specified events other than by reason of antidilution or similar protective adjustments, then the Effective Price shall be recalculated using the figure to which such minimum amount of consideration is reduced; and
(iii) if the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Rights or Options or the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities is subsequently increased, then the Effective Price shall again be recalculated using the increased minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Rights or Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
No further adjustment of the Conversion Price, adjusted upon the issuance of such Rights or Options or Convertible Securities, shall be made as a result of the actual issuance of shares of Common Stock on the exercise of any such Rights or Options or the conversion or exchange of any such Convertible Securities. If any such Rights or Options or the conversion rights represented by any such Convertible Securities shall expire without having been fully exercised,
-19-
then the Conversion Price as adjusted upon the issuance of such Rights or Options or Convertible Securities shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect had an adjustment been made on the basis that the only shares of Common Stock so issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, that were actually issued or sold on the exercise of such Rights or Options or rights of conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and such shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation for the granting of all such Rights or Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration received for issuing or selling all such Convertible Securities actually converted or exchanged, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) on the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, provided that such readjustment shall not apply to prior conversions of Preferred Stock.
(d) Waiver of Adjustment to Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, any downward adjustment of the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock may be waived, either prospectively or retroactively and either generally or in a particular instance, by the vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such series of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that no such waiver shall be effective with respect to the Conversion Price of the Series G Preferred Stock unless holders of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the Series G Preferred Stock then outstanding have consented to such waiver. Any such waiver shall bind all future holders of shares of such series of Preferred Stock.
5.9 Certificate of Adjustment. In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price for a series of Preferred Stock or the Class A Junior Preferred Stock, as applicable, the Corporation, at its expense, shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder of the Preferred Stock and the Class A Junior Preferred Stock, as applicable, at the holder’s address as shown in the Corporation’s books.
5.10 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon any conversion of Preferred Stock or the Class A Junior Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional share to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay the holder cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Common Stock’s fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board as of the date of conversion.
5.11 Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock and the Class A Junior Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock and the Class A Junior Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common
-20-
Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock and Class A Junior Preferred Stock, as applicable, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
5.12 Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation to be given to the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock and Class A Junior Preferred Stock shall be deemed given upon the earlier of actual receipt or deposit in the United States mail, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or delivery by a recognized express courier, fees prepaid, addressed to each holder of record at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Corporation.
6. Restrictions and Limitations.

(b) liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business and affairs of the Corporation, effect any Deemed Liquidation Event, or consent to any of the foregoing, unless the holders of Preferred Stock receive at least two (2) times the Original Issue Price for the Series C Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock splits, dividends, recapitalizations and the like), it being understood that in the event of such Deemed Liquidation Event the liquidation rights as set forth in Section 3 of this Article V will not be affected;

8. Redemption of Class A Junior Preferred Stock.
8.1 Redemption Right of the holders of Class A Junior Preferred Stock. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.1, at any time following November 18, 2018, upon the written request from holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Class A Junior Preferred Stock to be redeemed by the Corporation (the “Mandatory Redemption Request”), then the Corporation shall redeem all outstanding shares of Class A Junior Preferred Stock within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Corporation’s receipt of such written redemption request; provided that immediately following any such redemption, the Corporation shall have outstanding one or more shares of one or more classes or series of stock, which share, or shares together, shall have full voting rights; provided further that Excluded Shares (as such term is defined in Section 8.1(c)) shall not be redeemed and shall be excluded from such redemption. The redemption price for each share of Class A Junior Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall be a cash payment equal to the fair market value of such share as of the respective date of issuance of such share as determined by the Board or a committee thereof in good faith.
(a) Insufficient Funds. If upon any redemption date provided under this Section 8.1 for the redemption of Class A Junior Preferred Stock, the funds and assets of the Corporation legally available to redeem such stock shall be insufficient to redeem all shares of Class A Junior Preferred Stock then required to be redeemed, then any such unredeemed shares shall be carried forward and shall be redeemed as soon as any additional funds and assets become available therefor, and any such unredeemed shares shall continue to be so carried forward until redeemed in accordance with this Section 8.1. Shares of Class A Junior Preferred Stock which are subject to redemption hereunder but which have not been redeemed due to insufficient legally available funds and assets of the Corporation shall continue to be outstanding and entitled to all rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the Class A Junior Preferred Stock until such shares have been converted or redeemed.
(b) Partial Redemption. No redemption shall be made under Section 8.1 of only a part of the then outstanding shares of Class A Junior Preferred Stock, unless the Corporation shall effect such redemption ratably among all holders of then outstanding Class A Junior Preferred Stock (other than Excluded Shares) in proportion to the respective redemption prices of such shares held by each holder thereof on the applicable redemption date.
(c) Redemption Notice. At least twenty (20) days prior to any applicable redemption date pursuant to this Section 8.1, written notice shall be mailed by the Corporation, postage prepaid, to each holder of record (at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given) of the Class A Junior Preferred Stock to be redeemed, at the address last shown on the records of the Corporation for such holder or given by the holder to the Corporation for the purpose of notice or, if no such address appears or is given, at the place where

the principal executive office of the Corporation is located, notifying such holder of the redemption to be effected, the applicable redemption date, the applicable redemption price, the number of such holder’s shares of Class A Junior Preferred Stock to be redeemed and calling upon such holder to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, the certificate or certificates representing the shares to be redeemed (the “Redemption Notice”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Corporation receives, on or prior to the 20th day after the date of delivery of the Redemption Notice to a holder of Class A Junior Preferred Stock, written notice from such holder that such holder elects to be excluded from the redemption provided in this Section 8.1, then the shares of Class A Junior Preferred Stock registered on the books of the Corporation in the name of such holder at the time of the Corporation’s receipt of such notice shall thereafter be “Excluded Shares”.
(d) Surrender of Certificates. On or before any applicable redemption date pursuant to this Section 8.1, each holder of Class A Junior Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares of Class A Junior Preferred Stock to be redeemed to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the applicable redemption price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate(s) as the owner thereof, and each surrendered certificate shall be cancelled and retired. If less than all of the shares represented by such certificate are redeemed, then the Corporation shall issue a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares.
(e) Effect of Redemption. If on the applicable redemption date pursuant to this Section 8.1, the applicable redemption price is either paid or made available for payment through the deposit arrangements specified in subsection 8.1(f) below, then notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the shares of Class A Junior Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, the holders thereof shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and all rights of the holders of such shares with respect to such shares shall terminate after the applicable redemption date, except only the right of the holders to receive the applicable redemption price without interest upon surrender of their certificate(s) therefor.
(f) Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any applicable redemption date pursuant to this Section 8.1, the Corporation may, at its option, deposit with a bank or trust company having a capital and surplus of at least One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000), as a trust fund, a sum equal to the aggregate redemption price for all shares of Class A Junior Preferred Stock called for redemption and not yet redeemed, with irrevocable instructions and authority to the bank or trust company to pay, on or after the applicable redemption date, the applicable redemption price to the respective holders upon the surrender of their share certificates. From and after the date of such deposit, the shares so called for redemption shall be redeemed. The deposit shall constitute full payment of the shares to their holders, and from and after the date of the deposit, the shares shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding, and the holders thereof shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no rights with respect thereto except the right to receive from the bank or trust company payment of the redemption price of the shares, without interest, upon surrender of their certificates therefor.
