6.3 Procedures for Conversion; Effect of Conversion.
(a) Procedures for Holder Conversion. In order to effectuate a conversion of Shares of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6.1, a holder shall (a) submit a written election to the Corporation that such holder elects to convert Shares, the number of Shares elected to be converted and (b) surrender, along with such written election, to the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing the Shares being converted, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto) or, in the event the certificate or certificates are lost, stolen, or missing, accompanied by an affidavit of loss executed by the holder. The conversion of such Shares hereunder shall be deemed effective as of the date of surrender of such Series D Preferred Stock certificate or certificates or delivery of such affidavit of loss. Upon the receipt by the Corporation of a written election and the surrender of such certificate(s) and accompanying materials, the Corporation shall as promptly as practicable (but in any event within ten (10) days thereafter) deliver to the relevant holder (a) a certificate in such holder’s name (or the name of such holder’s designee as stated in the written election) for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled upon conversion of the applicable Shares and, if applicable (b) a certificate in such holder’s (or the name of such holder’s designee as stated in the written election) for the number of Shares of Series D Preferred Stock represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the Corporation for conversion but otherwise not elected to be converted pursuant to the written election. All shares of capital stock issued hereunder by the Corporation shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, charges, and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof.
(b) Effect of Conversion. All Shares of Series D Preferred Stock converted as provided in this Section 6.2 shall no longer be deemed outstanding as of the effective time of the applicable conversion and all rights with respect to such Shares shall immediately cease and terminate as of such time other than the right of the holder to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor.
6.4 Limitations on Conversion.
(a) No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which a holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Corporation shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round to the next whole share, with 0.5 shares being rounded up to one whole share.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, and a holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series D Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion, such holder or any Attribution Party (defined below) will hold or have held, beneficially or of record, more than 9.9% of the aggregate Common Stock outstanding of the Corporation.
7. Reissuance of Series D Preferred Stock. Any Shares of Series D Preferred Stock redeemed, converted, or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any Subsidiary shall be cancelled and retired as authorized and issued shares of capital stock of the Corporation and no such Shares shall thereafter be reissued, sold, or transferred.

8. Conversion Price Adjustments. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time after the Series D Original Issue Date as follows:
8.1 Split or Subdivision of Common Stock. In the event that, at any time or from time to time after the Series D Original Issue Date, a record date is fixed for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, as of such record date, the Conversion Price shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
8.2 Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event that, at any time or from time to time after the Series D Original Issue Date, the Corporation shall issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock without consideration or for consideration per share less than the then effective Conversion Price, then, as of such issuance date, the Series D Conversion Price shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
8.3 Issuance of Convertible Securities. In the event that, at any time or from time to time after the Series D Original Issue Date, the Corporation shall issue any Convertible Securities without consideration or for consideration per share less than the then effective Conversion Price, then, as of such issuance date, the Conversion Price shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to such Convertible Securities, with the number of shares issuable with respect to Convertible Securities determined from time to time as follows:
(a) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion, exchange or exercise (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account potential anti-dilution adjustments) of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such Convertible Securities were issued;
(b) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, the Conversion Price, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such Convertible 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 Convertible Securities; and
(c) Upon the termination or expiration of any such Convertible Securities, the Conversion Price, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such Common Stock Equivalents, shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.
8.4 Combination of Common Stock. In the event that, at any time or from time to time after the Series D Original Issue Date, a record date is fixed for the effectuation of a combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, as of such record date, the Conversion Price shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.
8.5 Reclassification or Recapitalization of Common Stock. In the event that, at any time or from time to time after the Series D Original Issue Date, there shall be a reclassification or recapitalization of outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, a Qualifying Merger or a Qualifying Sale), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, provision shall be made so that the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of Series D Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such reclassification or recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be made in the application of the provisions of this section with respect to the rights of the holders of Series D Preferred Stock after the reclassification or recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this section (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares received upon conversion of Series D Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalently as may be practicable. The provisions of this section shall similarly apply to successive qualifying reclassifications or recapitalizations of outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, a Qualifying Merger or a Qualifying Sale).
8
8.6 Certificate as to Adjustments. The Corporation shall, upon the written request delivered to the Corporation at the principal office of the Corporation at any time by any holder of Series D Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth the Conversion Price at the time in effect.
9. Reservation of Common 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 outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all shares of Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all shares of Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding then, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, take such corporate action necessary to increase the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation.
