Exhibit 3.1
AMENDED AND RESTATED
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
OF
OCULUS INNOVATIVE SCIENCES, INC.
The undersigned certify that:
1. They are the President and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, of Oculus Innovative
Sciences, Inc., a California corporation.
2. The Articles of Incorporation of this corporation shall be amended and restated to read in
full as follows:
ARTICLE I
The name of this corporation is Oculus Innovative Sciences, Inc. (the Corporation).
ARTICLE II
The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a
corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of California other than the banking
business, the trust company business or the practice of a profession permitted to be incorporated
by the California Corporations Code.
ARTICLE III
(A) Classes of Stock. The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to
be designated, respectively, Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The total number of shares which
the Corporation is authorized to issue is one hundred thirty million (130,000,000) shares. Of such
authorized shares, one hundred million (100,000,000) shares shall be designated as Common Stock and
thirty million (30,000,000) shares shall be designated as Preferred Stock. Five million five
hundred thousand (5,500,000) shares of the Preferred Stock are designated Series A Preferred
Stock, eleven million two-hundred twenty-two thousand two-hundred twenty-two (11,222,222) shares
of the Preferred Stock are designated Series B Preferred Stock, and three million five-hundred
thousand (3,500,000) shares of the Preferred Stock are designated Series C Preferred Stock. The
rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed on the Preferred Stock are
as set forth below in Article III(B).
(B) Rights, Preferences and Restrictions of Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock
authorized by these Restated Articles may be issued from time to time in one or more series,
subject to the provisions of this Article III and any limitations prescribed by law. The Board of
Directors is authorized to designate and to fix the number of shares of any series of Preferred
Stock and to determine and to alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to
or imposed on any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors, within the
limits stated in any resolution of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares
constituting any series, may increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such
series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issuance of shares
of that series. The Corporation shall from time to time in accordance with the laws of the
State of California increase the authorized amount of its Common Stock if at any time the number of
shares of Common Stock remaining unissued and available for issuance shall not be sufficient to
permit conversion of the Preferred Stock.
1. Dividend Provisions.
(a) Preferential Dividends After Filing Date of Restated Articles. The holders of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cumulative dividends, out of any
assets legally available therefor, in an amount equal to $0.09 (as appropriately adjusted for any
stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations or the like with respect to such
shares) per annum on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock, and holders of Series B
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends in the amount of $0.225 on
each share of Series B Preferred Stock, when and as declared by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation. No dividend shall be paid to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock or Common Stock
unless and until (i) all accrued but unpaid dividends on shares of the Series A Preferred Stock
shall have been paid or declared and set aside for payment, and (ii) dividends on the Series B
Preferred Stock, as set forth above in this Section 1(b) of this Article III.B, shall have been
declared and paid or set apart for payment; provided, however, that this restriction on the payment
of dividends to holders of Series C Preferred Stock and Common Stock shall not apply to dividends
payable (i) solely in Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into or entitling the
holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock, or (ii)
pursuant to Section 4(e) of this Article III.B. After payment of cumulative dividends to holders
of the Series A Preferred Stock at the annual rate set forth above and the declaration and payment
(or setting apart for payment) of the dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock as set forth above
in this Section 1(a) of this Article III.B, any additional dividends declared shall be distributed
among all holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock
and Common Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock which would be held by each
such holder if all shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C
Preferred Stock were converted into Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Price for each
such series of Preferred Stock.
(b) Payment of Dividends by Issuance of Common Stock. The Corporation shall have the
option of paying the dividends described in this Section l in either shares of Common Stock or in
cash. If paid in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares to be distributed to the holders of
the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall be
determined by dividing the amount of the accrued and unpaid dividends, and/or declared but unpaid
dividends, as the case may be, by the Conversion Price then in effect for the applicable series of
Preferred Stock. If at the time any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or
Series C Preferred Stock are converted into Common Stock there are any accrued but unpaid
dividends, and/or declared but unpaid dividends, as the case may be, on such shares, then the
Corporation at its option shall either pay the unpaid dividends or issue additional shares of
Common Stock in the amount of the unpaid dividends at the applicable Conversion Price then in
effect for the applicable series of Preferred Stock.
2
2. Liquidation.
(a) Preference. In the event of any Liquidation Event (as defined in Section 2(c)
below) of the Corporation, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or
surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of Common Stock, (i) holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per
share equal to the sum of (x) $3.00 for each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock plus (y)
all declared but unpaid dividends, and/or accrued and unpaid dividends, as the case may be, on each
such share (the Series A Liquidation Amount), subject to appropriate adjustment of such dollar
amounts for any stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations or like transaction
with respect to such shares; (ii) holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
receive, by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the sum of (x) $5.625
for each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock plus (y) all declared but unpaid dividends
on each such share (the Series B Liquidation Amount), subject to appropriate adjustment of such
dollar amounts for any stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations or like
transaction with respect to such shares, and (iii) holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive, by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the sum of
(x) $5.625 for each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock plus (y) all declared but unpaid
dividends on each such share (the Series B Liquidation Amount), subject to appropriate adjustment
of such dollar amounts for any stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations or
like transaction with respect to such shares. The Series A Liquidation Amount, the Series B
Liquidation Amount and the Series C Liquidation Amount are referred to herein collectively as the
Preferred Liquidation Amount. If, upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the assets and
funds of the Corporation thus distributed among the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B
Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such
holders of the full Preferred Liquidation Amount, then the entire assets and funds of the
Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of
the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock in a per-share
amount that is in proportion to the per-share Preferred Liquidation Amount of each such series of
Preferred Stock.
(b) Remaining Assets. Any assets of the Corporation remaining after distribution to
the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Stock of the
full Preferred Liquidation Amount required by Section 2(a) above shall be distributed to the
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C Stock, and the
Common Stock of the Corporation as follows:
(i) In the event the quotient obtained by dividing X by CO is equal to the sum of $3.00 and
CD, then the holder of each outstanding share of Common Stock shall receive the sum of $3.00 and
CD;
(ii) In the event the quotient obtained by dividing X by CO is less than the sum of $3.00 and
CD, then X shall be distributed to holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on a pro rata
basis; and
(iii) In the event the quotient obtained by dividing X by CO is greater than the sum of $3.00
and CD, then (a) the holder of each outstanding share of Series A Preferred
3
Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall receive such amount as
shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the difference obtained by subtracting ($3 +
CD)(DO) from X by (2) the sum of AO, BO, CO and DO; and (b) each outstanding share of Common Stock
shall receive such amount as shall equal $3.00 plus CD plus the quotient obtained by dividing (1)
the difference obtained by subtracting ($3 + CD)(DO) from X by (2) the sum of AO, BO, CO and DO;
where: X = the total remaining assets of the Corporation after payment of the full Preferred
Liquidation Amount as set forth in Section 2(a) above;
AO = the total number of shares of Common Stock into which the total number of outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the then applicable conversion price;
BO = the total number of shares of Common Stock into which the total number of outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at the then applicable conversion price;
CO = the total number of shares of Common Stock into which the total number of outstanding
shares of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible at the then applicable conversion price;
DO = the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock; and
CD = all declared but unpaid dividends on each outstanding share of Common Stock, subject to
appropriate adjustment of such dollar amounts for any stock dividends, stock splits, combinations,
recapitalizations or like transaction with respect to such shares.
(c) Liquidation Event. A Liquidation Event means (i) liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, (ii) any merger, consolidation or
other similar transaction involving the Corporation pursuant to which the shareholders of the
Corporation immediately prior to such transaction shall own less than fifty percent (50%) of the
voting securities of the surviving entity, (iii) a sale, conveyance or disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or (iv) the effectuation by the Corporation of
a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the
voting power of the Corporation is disposed of (other than the sale of the Series C Preferred
Stock). In the event of a Liquidation Event described in (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the preceding
sentence, if the consideration received by the Corporation is other than cash, its value will be
deemed to be its fair market value. Whenever the distribution provided for in this Section 2 of
this Article III.B shall be payable in securities, such securities shall be valued as follows:
(1) Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free
marketability:
4
(A) If traded on a securities exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market, the value shall be deemed
to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange over the thirty-day
period ending three (3) days prior to the closing;
(B) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the
closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty-day period ending three (3)
days prior to the closing; and
(C) If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as
mutually determined by the Corporation and the holders of at least a majority of the voting power
of the then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and the
Series C Preferred Stock voting together as a class.
(2) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions
on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a shareholders status
as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value
determined as above in Section 2(c)(1) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as
mutually determined by the Corporation and the holders of at least a majority of the voting power
of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C
Preferred Stock voting together as a class.
3. Redemption. The Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C
Preferred Stock are not redeemable.
4. Conversion. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock
and Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable, shall have conversion rights as follows (the
Conversion Rights):
(a) Right to Convert.
(i) Subject to Section 4(c), each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at
the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the
office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $1.50 by the Series A Conversion
Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of the conversion. The initial Series A Conversion
Price shall be $1.50 per share.
(ii) Subject to Section 4(c), each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at
the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the
office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $4.50 by the Series B Conversion
Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of the conversion. The initial Series B Conversion
Price shall be $4.50 per share.
(iii) Subject to Section 4(c), each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at
the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the
office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $4.50 by
5
the Series C Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of the conversion. The
initial Series C Conversion Price shall be $4.50 per share.
(iv) The Series A Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price and the Series C Conversion
Price are herein referred to collectively as the Conversion Price. Such initial Conversion
Prices shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.
(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of each designated series of Preferred Stock
shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion
Price for such series of Preferred Stock immediately upon the earlier of: (i) the written consent
or agreement of two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred
Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a class, to such conversion or (ii) except
as provided below in Section 4(c), the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of
shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) which
results in aggregate cash proceeds to the Corporation of not less than $20,000,000 (before
deduction of underwriting commissions and expenses) (a Qualified IPO) or (iii) going public by
means of a merger or acquisition which results in a market capitalization of the Corporation of
greater than $75,000,000.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
convert the same into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or
certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for
the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, and shall give
written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the
same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares
of Common Stock are to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue
and deliver at such office to the holder of such Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of
such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such
holder shall be entitled upon such conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made
immediately prior to the close of business on the date such shares of Preferred Stock to be
converted are surrendered in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and the person or persons
entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for
all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date. If the
conversion is in connection with an underwritten offering of securities registered pursuant to the
Securities Act the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock for conversion, be
conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such
offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive Common Stock upon conversion of such
Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior
to the closing of such sale of securities.
(d) Anti-dilution Provisions. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time as follows:
(i) Issuance of Additional Stock below Purchase Price. If the Corporation shall issue,
after the date upon which any shares of Series C Preferred Stock were first issued (the Purchase
Date), any Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration
6
or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
the issuance of such Additional Stock, the Conversion Price for the applicable series of Preferred
Stock in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall automatically be adjusted as set
forth in this Section 4(d)(i), unless otherwise provided in this Section 4(d)(i).
(A) Adjustment Formula. Whenever the Conversion Price applicable to Series A Preferred
Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock is adjusted pursuant to this Section
(4)(d)(i), the new Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock shall be determined by
multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect for such series of Preferred Stock by a fraction,
(x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such issuance (the Outstanding Common), plus (ii) the number of shares of
Common Stock into which any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series
C Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance may be converted at the applicable
Conversion Price then in effect, plus (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock for which any
options to purchase, rights to subscribe, warrants or other derivative securities outstanding or
authorized by any duly adopted stock option plan or other plan, arrangement or agreement of the
Corporation may be exercised immediately prior to such issuance, plus (iv) the number of shares of
Common Stock into which any other convertible or exchangeable securities, including convertible
debt securities, outstanding immediately prior to such issuance may be converted or exchanged (the
number that is the sum of items (i) through (iv) being referred to as the Fully Diluted Common),
plus (v) the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received by the
Corporation for such issuance would purchase at the Conversion Price applicable to such series of
Preferred Stock as to which the calculation is being made; and (y) the denominator of which shall
be the number of shares of Fully Diluted Common plus the number of shares of such Additional Stock.
(B) Definition
of Additional Stock. For purposes of this Section 4(d)(i),
Additional Stock shall mean any shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued
pursuant to Section 4(d)(i)(E) by the Corporation after the Purchase Date) other than:
(1) Shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a transaction described in Section 4(d)(ii)
hereof;
(2) Shares of Common Stock issued to employees, officers, directors, consultants, contractors
or advisors of the Corporation pursuant to stock purchase or stock option plans or agreements,
warrants, or other incentive stock arrangements approved by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation;
(3) Shares of Common Stock issued to lenders, equipment lessors or other parties providing
goods or services to the Corporation;
(4) Shares of Common Stock issued in connection with acquisition transactions;
7
(5) Shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the conversion of shares of any
designated series of Preferred Stock;
(6) Shares of Common Stock issued in strategic partnership transactions;
(7) Shares of Common Stock issued in any other transaction in which exemption from the
anti-dilution provisions of this Section 4(d)(i)(B) as applicable to the Series A Preferred Stock,
Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock is approved by the holders of a majority of
the then-outstanding shares of the applicable series of Preferred Stock; or
(8) Shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the adjustment of the Series A Conversion
Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4(d).
(C) No Fractional Adjustments. No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made in
an amount less than one cent per share, provided that any adjustments which are not required to be
made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be either taken into account in
any subsequent adjustment made prior to three years from the date of the event giving rise to the
adjustment being carried forward, or shall be made at the end of three years from the date of the
event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward.
(D) Determination of Consideration. In the event the Corporation issues any Additional
Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before
deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the
Corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof. In
the event the Corporation issues any Additional Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other
than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as
determined by the Board of Directors irrespective of any accounting treatment.
(E) Deemed Issuances of Common Stock. In the event the Corporation at any time or from
time to time after the Purchase Date shall issue any options to purchase or rights to subscribe for
Common Stock, securities (other than the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series
C Preferred Stock or convertible debt instruments) by their terms convertible into or exchangeable
for Common Stock or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable
securities, the following provisions shall apply for all purposes of this Section 4(d)(i), except
as otherwise provided in Section 4(d)(i)(A):
(1) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise (assuming
the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including without limitation, the passage of
time, but without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) of such options to
purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time
such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined
in the manner provided in Section
8
4(d)(i)(D)), if any, received by the Corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights
plus the minimum exercise price provided in such options or rights (without taking into account
potential antidilution adjustments) for the Common Stock covered thereby.
(2) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or
in exchange (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility or exchangeability,
including, without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account potential
antidilution adjustments) for any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise
of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and
subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such
securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the
consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for any such securities and related options or
rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the
minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by the Corporation (without taking into
account potential antidilution adjustments) upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or
the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in
the manner provided in Section 4(d)(i)(D)).
(3) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or in the
consideration payable to the Corporation upon exercise of such options or rights or upon conversion
of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, including, but not limited to, a
change resulting from the antidilution provisions thereof, the Conversion Price of the Series A
Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable, to the
extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities, shall be
recomputed to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance
of Common Stock or any payment of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or
rights or the conversion or exchange of such securities.
(4) Upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights to
convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or
exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred
Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such
options, rights or securities or options or rights related to such securities, shall be recomputed
to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or
exchangeable securities which remain in effect) actually issued upon the exercise of such options
or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options
or rights related to such securities.
(5) The number of shares of Common Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid
therefor pursuant to Sections 4(d)(i)(E)(1) and 4(d)(i)(E)(2) shall be appropriately adjusted to
reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described in either Section 4(d)(i)(E)(3)
or 4(d)(i)(E)(4).
(F) No Increased Conversion Price. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Section (4)(d)(i), except to the limited extent provided for in Sections
9
4(d)(i)(E)(3) and 4(d)(i)(E)(4), no adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this
Section 4(d)(i) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price
in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(ii) Stock Splits and Dividends. In the event the Corporation should at any time or
from time to time after the Purchase Date fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or
subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common
Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive,
directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as Common Stock
Equivalents) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of
Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such
dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price shall
be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of
each share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as
applicable, shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate of shares of Common
Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents, with the number
of shares issuable with respect to Common Stock Equivalents determined from time to time in the
manner provided for deemed issuances in Section 4(d)(i)(E).
(iii) Reverse Stock Splits. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any
time after the Purchase Date is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, then, following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price shall be
appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each
share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock shall be
decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
(e) Other Distributions. In the event the Corporation shall declare a distribution
payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Corporation or
other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in Section
4(d)(ii), then, in each such case for the purpose of this Section 4(e), the holders of Series A
Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a
proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of
shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into which their shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed
for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to receive such
distribution.
(f) Recapitalizations. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a
recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of
assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 4 or Section 2), provision shall be made
so that each holder of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred
Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of such holders Preferred Stock the
number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise, to which
a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon
10
conversion of such Preferred Stock held by such holder would have been entitled on such
recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the
provisions of this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock,
Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end that
the provisions of this Section 4 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and
the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred
Stock and Series C Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly
equivalent as practicable.
(g) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of these Restated Articles
or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the
Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions
of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred
Stock and Series C Preferred Stock against impairment.
(h) No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments.
(i) No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of Series
A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock. The number of shares
issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock the holder is at
the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
aggregate conversion. If the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share of
Common Stock, the Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share of Common Stock, pay cash
equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Common Stocks fair value (as determined by
the Corporations Board of Directors) on the date of conversion.
(ii) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of the
Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to this
Section 4, the Corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment
in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of the applicable series
of Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price of which is adjusted, a certificate setting forth such
adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or
readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of
shares of any designated series of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder
a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Conversion Price for
the applicable series of Preferred Stock at the time in effect, and (C) the number of shares of
Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the
conversion or a share of such series of Preferred Stock.
(i) Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record
of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders
11
thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other

applicable, and any director who has been elected by the holders of Series C Preferred Stock and
the holders of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5(b)(iii) may be removed without cause if such
removal is approved by a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and
Common Stock, except that no director may be removed pursuant to this Section 5(c) (unless the
entire Board of Directors of the Corporation is removed) when the votes cast against removal, or
not consenting in writing to the removal, would be sufficient to elect the director if voted
cumulatively at an election at which the same total number of votes were cast (or, if the action is
taken by written consent, all shares entitled to vote were voted) and the entire number of
directors authorized at the time of the directors most recent election were then being elected.

outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred
Stock, voting together as a class, take any action that (except in the case of clauses (a) through
(c) below where the holders of not less than a majority of such outstanding shares of the series
affected shall vote separately as a class):
13
(a) amends the Articles of Incorporation in any manner that would adversely alter or change
the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the Preferred Stock;
(b) increases or decreases the authorized number of shares of Common Stock or the Preferred
Stock;

repurchase by the Corporation as approved unanimously by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation).
7. Status of Converted Stock. In the event any shares of Preferred Stock shall be
