Significant Event. Upon any Significant Event: (i) Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder immediately prior to such Significant Event, prior and in preference to any distribution or payment made upon or with respect to any Junior Securities, irrespective of whether such distribution or payment is made by the Corporation or any other Person, an amount (the “Liquidation Value”) equal to either (A)(1) the Original Issue Price of such share of Series A Preferred Stock on the date of distribution or payment plus (2) all dividends (whether or not declared) accrued but unpaid on such share of Series A Preferred Stock, or (B) if elected by the vote or written consent of the Supermajority Preferred Holders, the amount to which the holder of such share of Series A Preferred Stock would be entitled assuming all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of Common in accordance with Section 5(a)(i) immediately prior to such Significant Event (the “As Converted Value”). If upon any Significant Event the assets and/or proceeds to be distributed to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the aggregate amount which they are entitled to receive under Section 4(a)(i)(A), then the entire amount of assets and/or proceeds available to the Corporation’s stockholders upon such Significant Event shall be distributed pro rata among such holders of the Series A Preferred Stock based upon the aggregate amounts due to each such holder with respect to such shares of Series A Preferred Stock if such assets and/or proceeds were sufficient to permit payment in full. (ii) With respect to any Significant Event involving the Corporation’s merger, consolidation or similar transaction, except as otherwise consented to by the Supermajority Preferred Holders, the Corporation shall not effect such Significant Event unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation or other applicable agreement provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Section 4(a). (iii) After the payment and/or distribution to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock of the amounts set forth in Section 4(a)(i), the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any further payment or distribution. (iv) The Liquidation Value shall in all events be paid in cash and/or securities, depending on the form of consideration payable to the Corporation’s stockholders as set forth in the applicable documents and agreements effecting any Significant Event; provided, however, that if the applicable Liquidation Value for the Series A Preferred Stock is payable in connection with a merger, consolidation or sale of capital stock in which the consideration is not cash, then the consideration (including any shares of capital stock to be delivered by the acquiring corporation) payable to the holders of Common and Series A Preferred Stock in connection with such transaction shall be allocated or reallocated, as applicable, among the holders of Common and the Series A Preferred Stock (of all outstanding series) in an appropriate and equitable manner to give economic effect to the priority of distributions between the holders of Common and Preferred Stock in accordance with this Section and the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended. The foregoing allocation to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall apply notwithstanding that, pursuant to the terms of the Significant Event, consideration is only allocated to the holders of Common, it being the intention of this Section 4 that, if a Significant Event is to be treated as a liquidation, holders of Common shall not be entitled to any payment until the holders of outstanding Preferred Stock (of all series) have received their applicable liquidation preference amounts or elected the benefits of the As Converted Value under Section 4(a)(i)(B). If there is more than one form of consideration payable in connection with the Significant Event, such consideration shall be allocated proportionately to the holders of Preferred Stock (of all series) and Common based on the amount to which each such holder of each class or series is entitled.
