Conversion of Company Preferred Stock Each share of convertible preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Company Preferred Stock") that has not been converted into Company Common Stock and that remains issued and outstanding immediately 26995100v.1 prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares) will be converted into the right to receive, in cash and without interest, an amount equal to the Merger Consideration per share of Company Common Stock on an “as converted basis” based on the Merger Consideration that would have been payable to a holder of Company Preferred Stock if such holder had converted each share of Company Preferred Stock into Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time. For purposes of effecting the foregoing, each holder of Company Preferred Stock will receive after the Merger a notice of instruction and letter of transmittal to elect to either (i) surrender the certificate or certificates for the Company Preferred Stock to the Surviving Corporation in exchange for the payment of the Merger Consideration on an “as converted basis” as noted in the preceding sentence or (ii) retain the Company Preferred Stock in which case it shall be deemed converted into Company Preferred Stock of the Surviving Corporation with only the right, at such time as the holder thereof so demands in writing and surrenders any certificates representing such shares of preferred stock, to receive the Merger Consideration, in cash and without interest, an amount equal to the Merger Consideration per share of Company Common Stock on an “as converted basis” based on the Merger Consideration that would have been payable to a holder of Company Preferred Stock if such holder had converted each share of Company Preferred Stock into Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time. In the absence of the holder of the Company Preferred Stock notifying the Surviving Corporation of its instructions, alternative “(ii)” shall be deemed to apply.
Company Preferred Stock “Company Preferred Stock” shall mean the Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company.
