6.11.3. Acknowledgements. The Company acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of the covenants in this Section 6.9 (the “Restrictive Covenants”) would give rise to irreparable harm to Purchaser, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by the Company of any such obligations, Purchaser shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond). The Company acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.9 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Purchaser and constitute a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 6.9 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by Applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 6.9 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction. The Company acknowledges that any Claim that the Company may have against Purchaser shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Purchaser of the Restrictive Covenants. The Restrictive Covenants are independent of any other provision in this Agreement and of any other promise made to the Company or any Additional Party.

 

Section 6.12. Judicial Modification of Covenants. If any covenant contained in this Agreement or any part thereof is hereafter construed by a court having jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of such covenant or any other covenants, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions, and any court having jurisdiction shall have the power to modify such covenant to the least extent necessary to render it enforceable and, in its modified form, said covenant shall then be enforceable and, in the event any provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, each party will request such modification by the applicable court. Neither the Company shall assert that such restrictions should be eliminated in their entirety by such court.

 

Section 6.13. Transfer Taxes. The Company shall file all Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes with respect to the Contemplated Transactions and shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after Closing, pay all such Transfer Taxes arising out of or in connection with the Contemplated Transactions.

Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such Tax Returns, Tax liability, or audit or other proceeding. Each Party will retain all Tax Returns and related records and materials of Company for the Tax periods first ending after the Closing Date and for all prior Tax periods until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent the other Party reasonably requests, any extensions thereof) for the Tax periods to which the Tax Returns and other records and materials relate, and abide by any applicable record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority. Thereafter, the Party holding such Tax Returns or related records or materials may dispose of them provided that such Party shall give the other Party the notice in accordance with Section 9.2 prior to doing so, and if the other Party so requests allow the other Party to take possession or make copies of such Tax Returns or related records or materials. Each Party shall make its employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis (at the cost of the party requesting access to such employees) to provide explanation of any documents or information so provided.

 

Section 6.15. Bulk Sales Laws. The Parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser; provided that such waiver will not relieve any Party of any obligation such Party may have to indemnify for any obligations and liabilities related to any Taxes of the Company for any taxable period and Taxes related to the Business or the Acquired Assets for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date (including Taxes attributable to an Interim Period under Section 6.11), including any such Taxes that become an obligation or liability of Purchaser as a transferee or successor or pursuant to any Applicable Law.

Section 8.4. Third-Party Claims. In the event that a Company Indemnified Party or Purchaser Indemnified Party becomes aware of a Third-Party claim which such Indemnified Party believes may result in Damages for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 8 (a “Third-Party Claim”), the procedures to be followed with respect to the defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim shall be as follows:

 

8.4.1. Such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Company (who shall receive such notice, to the extent applicable, on behalf of all Additional Parties) or Purchaser, as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party Representative”), of such Third Party Claim. No delay in notifying such Indemnifying Party Representative of such Third-Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall affect an Indemnified Party’s rights, unless (and then only to the extent that) such Indemnifying Party Representative or Purchaser or any Additional Party, as the case may be, are actually prejudiced thereby. The party against whom indemnification is sought under this Article 8 is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. Indemnifying Party Representative, at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Party, may assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party by written notice to the Indemnified Party provided within 20 days of the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of the notice of claim. The Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of such claim that is defended by such Indemnifying Party Representative with co-counsel of its choice; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall be paid by such Indemnified Party unless (i) such Indemnifying Party Representative has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses or (ii) a claim shall have been brought or asserted against the Indemnified Party as well as the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably determined that there are one or more factual or legal defenses available to it that are in conflict with those that are available to the Indemnifying Party, in which case such co-counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. Assuming the defense of such claim shall constitute an admission by the Indemnifying Party that such claim is a proper or valid claim for indemnification, but shall not constitute an admission by the Indemnifying Party, as to the amount of the Damages asserted in the Claim.

 

 

8.4.2. The Indemnifying Party Representative shall have full right to enter into any compromise or settlement that is dispositive of the matter involved; provided, however, that (i) except for the settlement of a Third Party Claim (A) that involves no obligation of any Indemnified Party other than the payment of money for which indemnification in full is provided hereunder, (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived or (C) that is related to Taxes, the Indemnifying Party Representative shall not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and (ii) the Indemnifying Party Representative may not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement in respect of a Third Party Claim that does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim; provided further, that, if in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party it would be materially harmed or otherwise prejudiced by not entering into a proposed settlement or compromise and the Indemnifying Party Representative refuses to enter into such settlement or compromise, the Indemnified Party may enter into such settlement or compromise, but such settlement or compromise shall not be conclusive as to the existence or amount of the liability of Indemnifying Party or any Third Party.

 

8.4.3. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim.

 

8.4.4. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim. The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party advised of the status of such proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto.

 

Section 8.5. Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of Damages which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

 

Section 8.6. Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no provision of this Article 8 shall be construed to limit, re-characterize or otherwise modify those Liabilities that are Excluded Liabilities.

 

Article 9
GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

Section 9.1. Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.

If the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Initial Automatic Conversions exceeds the Change of Control Limit, then each Holder of Series F Preferred Stock shall have the number of shares to be issued to it, him or her reduced proportionately, based on the ratio of the total number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued to such shareholder to the total number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued to all such shareholders, subject to any applicable Beneficial Ownership Limitation, such that the Change of Control Limit is not exceeded. To effect the Initial Automatic Conversion, each Holder will deliver a Notice of Conversion to the Corporation in the form attached hereto. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued, and any fractions will be rounded down to the nearest whole share of Common Stock. Any share of Series F Preferred Stock that does not convert to Common Stock in the Initial Automatic Conversions will remain issued as Series F Preferred Stock and will automatically convert (a “Subsequent Automatic Conversion”) to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to one multiplied by the Conversion Ratio effective as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day (the “Subsequent Conversion Date”) after the date the Subsequent Conversion Condition is satisfied. Unless converted to Common Stock in connection with an Initial Automatic Conversion or a Subsequent Automatic Conversion, the shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock issued upon the Initial Automatic Conversion or upon the Subsequent Automatic Conversion are referred to as the “ Conversion Shares” and shares of Series F Preferred Stock that are converted in the Initial Automatic Conversion or in the Subsequent Automatic Conversion are referred to as the “Converted Stock”. The Conversion Shares shall be issued as follows:

 

1. Converted Stock shall be automatically cancelled upon the Conversion Date or the Subsequent Conversion Date, as applicable, and converted into the corresponding Conversion Shares, which shares shall be issued in book entry form and without any action on the part of the Holders.

 

2. Notwithstanding the cancellation of the Converted Stock as described above, Holders of Converted Stock shall continue to have any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies for the Corporation’s failure to convert the Converted Stock.

 

(b) Conversion Ratio. The “Conversion Ratio” for each share of Series F Preferred Stock shall initially be 1 share of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of each share of Series F Preferred Stock (corresponding to a ratio of 1:1), subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

 

(c) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock in an Initial Automatic Conversion, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series F Preferred Stock in an Initial Automatic Conversion, to the extent that, after giving effect to an attempted conversion set forth on an applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with any other Person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the Commission, including any “group” of which the Holder is a member (the foregoing, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock subject to the Notice of Conversion with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Series F Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Attribution Parties, and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation (including any warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Attribution Parties that are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise similar to the limitation contained herein. For purposes of this section, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the Commission. In addition, for purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the Commission. For purposes of this Section 6(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (A) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation that is filed with the Commission, or (C) a more recent notice by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Upon the written request of a Holder (which may be by email), the Corporation shall, within three (3) Trading Days thereof, confirm in writing to such Holder (which may be via email) the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to any actual conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including shares of Series F Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was last publicly reported or confirmed to the Holder. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall initially be set at the discretion of the Holder, as communicated in writing to the Corporation, between 4.9% and 19.9% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Notice of Conversion (to the extent permitted pursuant to this section). If no such writing is provided by a Holder to the Corporation prior to the Closing Date, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation for such Holder shall be 19.9%. Any Holder may lower such Holder’s Beneficial Ownership Limitation at any time prior to the satisfaction of the Conversion Condition by providing written notice to the Corporation.

 

(d) Mechanics of Conversion

 

i. Delivery of Certificate or Electronic Issuance Upon Conversion. Unless otherwise requested by the Holder, the Conversion Shares shall be issued in book entry form.

 

 

ii. Obligation Absolute. The Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series F Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares.

 

iii. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that at all times it will reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders of the Series F Preferred Stock, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments of Section 7) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

iv. Limitation on Conversion. In the event that shares of Series F Preferred Stock are automatically converted into Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 6(a), and the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series F Preferred Stock would be converted upon such conversion pursuant to this Certificate of Designation would exceed either the maximum number of unissued and otherwise unreserved shares of Common Stock which the Corporation may issue under the Articles of Incorporation at any given time but for this Section 6(d)(iv), then each Holder of Series F Preferred Stock as of the Conversion Date or Subsequent Conversion Date, as applicable, shall automatically convert only that number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock equal to (x) the aggregate number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by such Holder multiplied by (y) the quotient of (a) divided by (b), where (a) is the number of shares of Common Stock authorized but unissued and unreserved shares available for issuance and (b) is the number of shares of Common Stock underlying all outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock.

 

v. Transfer Taxes. The issuance of shares of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Shares, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the registered Holder(s) of such shares of Series F Preferred Stock, and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

 

 

(e) Status as Shareholder. Upon the Automatic Conversion and the Subsequent Automatic Conversion, (i) the shares of Series F Preferred Stock being converted shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a holder of such converted shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive book entry statements for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies for the Corporation’s failure to convert Series F Preferred Stock. In no event shall the Series F Preferred Stock convert into any shares of Common Stock prior to the Shareholder Approval.

 

Section 7. Certain Adjustments.

 

(a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while this Series F Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of this Series F Preferred Stock) with respect to the then outstanding shares of Common Stock; (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; or (C) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Conversion Ratio shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately after such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation). Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.

 

(b) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Series F Preferred Stock is outstanding, (A) the Corporation effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person or any stock sale to, or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, share exchange or scheme or arrangement) with or into another Person (other than such a transaction in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing entity and its Common Stock is not exchanged for or converted into other securities, cash or property), (B) the Corporation effects any sale, lease, transfer or exclusive license of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which more than 50% of the Common Stock not held by the Corporation or such Person is exchanged for or converted into other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Corporation effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant (other than as a result of a dividend, subdivision or combination covered by Section 7(a) above) to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Series F Preferred Stock the Holders shall have the right to receive, in lieu of the right to receive Conversion Shares, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such subsequent conversion, the determination of the Conversion Ratio shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall adjust the Conversion Ratio in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then each Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Series F Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate of Designation with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement to which the Corporation is a party and pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 7(b) and insuring that this Series F Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. The Corporation shall cause to be delivered to each Holder, at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, written notice of any Fundamental Transaction at least 20 calendar days prior to the date on which such Fundamental Transaction is expected to become effective or close, which notice shall not contain any material, nonpublic information relating to the Corporation and/or any of its subsidiaries.

 

 

(c) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.

 

Section 8. Redemption. Except as set forth herein, the shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the ability of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise deal in such shares to the extent otherwise permitted hereby and by law.

 

Section 9. Transfer. A Holder may transfer such shares of Series F Preferred Stock in whole, or in part, together with the accompanying rights set forth herein, held by such holder without the consent of the Corporation; provided that such transfer is in compliance with applicable securities laws and Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement prohibits the transfer of the Series F Preferred Stock for 180 days following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. The Corporation shall in good faith (i) do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and (ii) execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, in each case, as any holder of Series F Preferred Stock may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Section 9.

 

Section 10. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, via email or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Corporation, at:

(b) Waiver. Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder of a breach of any provision of this Certificate of Designation shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Certificate of Designation or a waiver by any other Holders. The failure of the Corporation or a Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Certificate of Designation on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party (or any other Holder) of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Certificate of Designation. Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder must be in writing. Notwithstanding any provision in this Certificate of Designation to the contrary, any provision contained herein and any right of the Holders of Series F Preferred Stock granted hereunder may be waived as to all shares of Series F Preferred Stock (and the Holders thereof) upon the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock then outstanding, unless a higher percentage is required by the FBCA, in which case the written consent of the Holders of not less than such higher percentage shall be required.

 

(c) Severability. If any provision of this Certificate of Designation is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Certificate of Designation shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law.

 

(d) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

(e) Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Certificate of Designation and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

(f) Status of Converted Series F Preferred Stock. If any shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be converted, repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, such shares shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and shall no longer be designated as Series F Preferred Stock.

ANNEX A NOTICE OF CONVERSION

 

(TO BE EXECUTED BY THE REGISTERED HOLDER IN ORDER TO CONVERT SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK)

 

The undersigned Holder hereby irrevocably elects to convert the number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock indicated below, [represented by stock certificate No(s).][represented in book-entry form] (the “Series F Convertible Preferred Stock Certificates”), into shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Oragenics, Inc. (the “Corporation”), as of the date written below. If securities are to be issued in the name of a person other than the undersigned, the undersigned will pay all transfer taxes payable with respect thereto.

As of the date hereof, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the undersigned Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the Commission, including any “group” of which the Holder is a member (the foregoing, the “Attribution Parties”)), including the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock subject to this Notice of Conversion, but excluding the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Series F Convertible Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Attribution Parties, and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation (including any warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Attribution Parties that are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise similar to the limitation contained in Section 6(c) of the Certificate of Designation, is [  ].
