ITEM 1.01 | ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT. |
On June 2, 2015, the Company entered into separate subscriptions agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with accredited investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company sold (the “Private Placement”) an aggregate of 4,000,00 shares of its Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series G Preferred Stock”), each of which is convertible into one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), with such rights and designations as set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series G Certificate of Designation”). The shares of Series G Preferred Stock were sold for a per share purchase price of $0.25 with gross proceeds to the Company of $1,000,000.
Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Company agreed, for a period of 24 months, to not issue any shares of Common Stock or securities exercisable or convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company for a price lower than $0.25 per share without the consent of the Investors holding a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock, subject to certain customary exceptions. Each share of the Series G Preferred Stock is convertible into one (1) share of Common Stock and has a stated value of $0.0001. The conversion ratio is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, combination of shares and similar recapitalization transactions. The Company is prohibited from effecting the conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the holder would beneficially own more than 4.99%, in the aggregate, of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock, subject to certain increases (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Each share of the Series G Preferred Stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock such share is convertible into at such time, but not in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
The shares of Series G Preferred Stock issued in the Private Placement were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. Certificates representing these shares will contain a legend stating the restrictions applicable to such shares.
The foregoing descriptions of the Subscription Agreement and the Series G Preferred Stock are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Form of Subscription Agreement, the Series G Certificate of Designation and the Certificate of Correction to the Series G Certificate of Designation, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to this report and are incorporated by reference herein.
ITEM 3.02 | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES. |
The information set forth in Item 1.01 is incorporated by reference herein.
On June 2, 2015, as a result of the sale of the Series G Preferred Stock, the Company issued, 2,700,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, which are convertible into an aggregate of 2,700,000 shares of Common Stock, to its existing holders of Series E Preferred Stock, in connection with certain anti-dilution rights associated with their purchase of such shares.
On June 2, 2015, the Company received the consent of at least a majority of its holders of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock to consummate the Private Placement, as required under the terms of that investment. In consideration for the foregoing consent, the Company issued all holders of its Series F Preferred Stock an aggregate of an additional 2,200,666 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, which are convertible into an aggregate of 2,200,666 shares of Common Stock.
The transactions did not involve any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering. The issuance of these securities was deemed to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 thereunder, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.

ITEM 5.03 | AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR. |

On June 1, 2015, we filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock authorizing the issuance of up to 8,000,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock.
On June 2, 2015, we filed a Certificate of Correction to the Series G Certificate of Designation to clarify certain language with respect to the liquidation rights of such shares.
On June 2, 2015, we filed an amendment to our previously filed Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock in order to (i) increase the number of shares of preferred stock so designated to 5,400,000 shares and (ii) to clarify certain liquidation rights with respect to such shares.
On June 2, 2015, we filed an amendment to our previously filed Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock in order to (i) increase the number of shares of preferred stock so designated to 3,300,999 shares and (ii) to clarify certain liquidation rights with respect to such shares.
The foregoing descriptions of the amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock and its Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock are not complete and are qualified in their entireties by reference to the full text of such amendments, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 3.3 and Exhibit 3.4, respectively, to this report and are incorporated by reference herein.

Nevada Secretary of State Stock Designation Revised: 1-5-15 |
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF PREFERENCES,
RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS
OF
SERIES G CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
The undersigned, Chief Executive Officer of Drone Aviation Holding Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”), DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolutions were duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation by unanimous written consent on May 12, 2015;
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is authorized within the limitations and restrictions stated in the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended, to provide by resolution or resolutions for the issuance of One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Corporation, in such series and with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions as the Corporation’s Board of Directors shall fix by resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance thereof duly adopted by the Board of Directors; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Board of Directors, pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, to authorize and fix the terms of a series of Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting such series.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
Section 1. Designation and Authorized Shares . The Corporation shall be authorized to issue 8,000,000 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series G Preferred Stock”).
Section 2. Stated Value. Each share of Series G Preferred Stock shall have a stated value of $0.0001 per share (the “Stated Value”).
Section 3. Liquidation.
(a) Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of Series G Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, for each share thereof, out of assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, a preferential amount in cash equal to (and not more than) the Stated Value. All preferential amounts to be paid to the holders of Series G Preferred Stock in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall be paid before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any assets of the Corporation to the holders of (i) any other class or series of capital stock whose terms expressly provide that the holders of Series G Preferred Stock should receive preferential payment with respect to such distribution (to the extent of such preference) and (ii) the Corporation's Common Stock. If upon any such distribution the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock (or the holders of any class or series of capital stock ranking on a parity with the Series G Preferred Stock as to distributions in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation) the full amounts to which they shall be entitled, such holders shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in accordance with the sums which would be payable on such distribution if all sums payable thereon were paid in full.
1 |
(b) Any distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, shall be made in cash to the extent possible. Whenever any such distribution shall be paid in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
Section 4. Voting . Except as otherwise expressly required by law, each holder of Series G Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to shareholders of the Corporation and shall be entitled to the number of votes for each share of Series G Preferred Stock owned at the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote on such matter or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of shareholders is solicited, equal to the number of shares of Common Stock such shares of Series G Preferred Stock are convertible into at such time, but not in excess of the conversion limitations set forth in Section 5 herein. Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of shares of Series G Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock on all matters and shall not vote as a separate class.
Section 5. Conversion .
(a) Conversion Right. Each holder of Series G Preferred Stock may, from time to time, convert any or all of such holder’s shares of Series G Preferred Stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) in an amount equal to One (1) shares of Common Stock for each one (1) share of Series G Preferred Stock surrendered.
(b) Conversion Procedure. In order to exercise the conversion privilege under this Section 5, the holder of any shares of Series G Preferred Stock to be converted shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal office that such holder elects to convert such shares of Series G Preferred Stock or a specified portion thereof into shares of Common Stock as set forth in such notice (the “Conversion Notice”, and such date of delivery of the Conversion Notice to the Corporation, the “Conversion Notice Delivery Date”). Within three (3) business days following the Conversion Notice Delivery Date, the Corporation shall issue and deliver a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock determined pursuant to this Section 5 (the “Share Delivery Date”). In case of conversion under this Section 5 of only a part of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered to the Corporation, the Corporation shall issue and deliver a new certificate for the number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock which have not been converted, upon receipt of the original certificate or certificates representing shares of Series G Preferred Stock so converted. Until such time as the certificate or certificates representing shares of Series G Preferred Stock which have been converted are surrendered to the Corporation and a certificate or certificates representing the Common Stock into which such shares of Series G Preferred Stock have been converted have been issued and delivered, the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series G Preferred Stock which have been converted shall represent the shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series G Preferred Stock have been converted. The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock.
2 |
(c) Maximum Conversion .
(i) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate of Designation, at no time may all or a portion of shares of Series G Preferred Stock be converted if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules thereunder) more than 4.99% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time (the “4.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). |
(ii) | By written notice to the Corporation, any holder of Series G Preferred Stock may increase or decrease the 4.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such holder of Series G Preferred Stock sending such notice and not to any other holder of Series G Preferred Stock; |
(iii) | For purposes of this Section 5, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a holder of Series G Preferred Stock may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Corporation’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (3) any other notice by the Corporation setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a holder of Series G Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall within one (1) business day confirm orally and in writing to such holder 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 the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including shares of Series G Preferred Stock, held by such holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported, which in any event are convertible or exercisable, as the case may be, into shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock within sixty (60) days’ of such calculation and which are not subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 5 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. |
3 |
(d) Buy-In. If, by the Share Delivery Date, the Corporation fails for any reason to deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock, as set forth in the Conversion Notice, and after such Share Delivery Date, the converting holder purchases, in an arm’s length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the converting holder (the “Sold Shares”), which delivery such converting holder anticipated to make using the shares to be issued upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), the converting holder shall have the right to require the Corporation to pay to the converting holder the Buy-In Adjustment Amount. The Corporation shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the converting holder in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the converting holder. For purposes of this Certificate of Designation, the term “Buy-In Adjustment Amount” means the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the converting holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares associated with a Buy-In, over (ii) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the converting holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the converting holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In, with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which the Corporation will be required to pay to the converting holder will be $1,000.
Section 6. Other Provisions.
(a) Reservation of Common Stock . The Corporation shall at all times reserve from its authorized Common Stock a sufficient number of shares equal to 125% of the convertible shares to provide for conversion of all Series G Preferred Stock from time to time outstanding.
(b) Record Holders . The Corporation and its transfer agent, if any, for the Series G Preferred Stock may deem and treat the record holder of any shares of Series G Preferred Stock as reflected on the books and records of the Corporation as the sole true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor any such transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Section 7. Restriction and Limitations . Except as expressly provided herein or as required by law so long as any shares of Series G Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series G Preferred Stock, take any action which would adversely and materially affect any of the preferences, limitations or relative rights of the Series G Preferred Stock.
4 |
Section 8. Certain Adjustments .
(a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits . If the Corporation, at any time while the Series G Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation pursuant to the Series G Preferred Stock), (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, each share of Series G Preferred Stock shall receive such consideration as if such number of shares of Series G Preferred had been, immediately prior to such foregoing dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification, the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which it could convert at such time. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
(b) Favored Nations Provision . For a period of twenty-four (24) months from the Closing Date, other than in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights equal to or greater than those granted to the Subscribers, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not primarily for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights equal to or greater than those granted to the Subscribers, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, and consultants that have been approved by a majority of the independent members of the board of directors of the Company or in existence as such plans are constituted on the date of this Agreement, (iv) the Company’s issuance of securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement on the terms in effect on the Closing Date, (v) an issuance by the Company of securities resulting from the conversion of the Shares, (vi) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to consultants and service providers approved by a majority in amount of the Shares sold in the Offering held as of the date of approval (“Subscriber Consent”), and (vii) any and all securities required to be assumed by the Company by the terms thereof as a result of any of the foregoing even if issued by a predecessor acquired in connection with a business combination, merger or share exchange (collectively, the foregoing (i) through (vii) are “Excepted Issuances”), the Company shall not issue any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than $0.25 per share, being the per share price of the Series G Preferred Stock hereunder, without Subscriber Consent other than with regard to Excepted Issuances. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other agreement to the contrary, the Company shall only be required to make a single adjustment with respect to any Lower Price Issuance, regardless of the existence of multiple basis therefore.
5 |
Section 9. Equal Treatment of Holders . No consideration (including any modification of this Certificate of Designation or related transaction document) shall be offered or paid to any person or entity to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Certificate of Designation or related transaction document unless the same consideration is also offered to all of holders of the outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each holder by the Corporation and negotiated separately by each holder, and is intended for the Corporation to treat all holders of the Series G Preferred Stock as a class and shall not in any way be construed as such holders acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of the Series G Preferred Stock or otherwise.

Section 3. Liquidation.
(a) Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of Series G Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, for each share thereof, out of assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, a preferential amount in cash equal to (and not more than) the Stated Value. All preferential amounts to be paid to the holders of Series G Preferred Stock in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall be paid before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any assets of the Corporation to the holders of (i) any other class or series of capital stock whose terms expressly provide that the holders of Series G Preferred Stock should receive preferential payment with respect to such distribution (to the extent of such preference) and (ii) the Corporation's Common Stock but not before any payment to the Corporation's Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock.

For the avoidance of doubt, upon the occurrence of the failure by the Company to fully, faithfully and punctually perform and discharge any of its duties, obligations and responsibilities as set forth in any of the Transaction Documents, which shall have been performed or otherwise discharged prior to the Closing (as defined below), the Subscriber may, on or prior to the Closing, at its sole and absolute discretion, elect not to purchase the Shares and provide instructions to the Company to receive the full and immediate refund of the Aggregate Purchase Price. In the event the Closing does not take place because of (i) the election not to purchase the Shares by the Subscriber or (ii) the failure to effectuate the Initial Closing (as defined below) on or prior to June 30, 2015 (unless extended in the discretion of the Board of Directors) for any reason or no reason, this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents shall thereafter be terminated and have no force or effect, and the parties shall take all steps, including the execution of instructions to the Company, to ensure that the Aggregate Purchase Price shall promptly be returned or caused to be returned to the Subscriber without interest thereon or deduction therefrom.
(b) Closing . The closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder (the “ Closing ”) shall take place at such time and place as determined by the Company and may take place in one of more closings. Closings shall take place on a Business Day promptly following the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6 below, as determined by the Company (the “ Closing Date ”). “Business Day” shall mean from the hours of 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) through 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) of a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are authorized or required to be closed. The Shares purchased by the Subscriber will be delivered by the Company promptly following the Final Closing Date (as defined herein) of the Offering. The initial closing shall be referred to as the “ Initial Closing ” and may be held on or before June 30, 2015. The date of the Initial Closing is sometimes referred to as the “ Initial Closing Date .” Subsequent closings (each a “ Subsequent Closing ”) will be held until the earlier to occur of: (i) the date on which the Company terminates the Offering, and (ii) July 15, 2015. The Offering may be extended up to July 31, 2015 (the “ Final Closing ” and such date of the Final Closing, the “ Final Closing Date ”), without additional notice to Subscribers. Officers, directors and affiliates of the Company and the placement agent, if any, may purchase Shares in the Offering.
(c) Following Acceptance or Rejection . The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and any other documents delivered in connection herewith will be held by the Company. Prior to the Company’s execution, in the event that this Agreement is not accepted by the Company for whatever reason, which the Company expressly reserves the right to do, this Agreement, the Aggregate Purchase Price received (without interest thereon) and any other documents delivered in connection herewith will be returned to the Subscriber at the address of the Subscriber as set forth in this Agreement. If this Agreement is accepted by the Company, the Company is entitled to treat the Aggregate Purchase Price received as an interest free loan to the Company until such time as the Subscription is accepted.
- 4 - |
(d) Favored Nations Provision . For a period of twenty-four (24) months from the Closing Date, other than in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights equal to or greater than those granted to the Subscribers, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not primarily for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights equal to or greater than those granted to the Subscribers, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, and consultants that have been approved by a majority of the independent members of the board of directors of the Company or in existence as such plans are constituted on the date of this Agreement, (iv) the Company’s issuance of securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement on the terms in effect on the Closing Date, (v) an issuance by the Company of securities resulting from the conversion of the Shares, (vi) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to consultants and service providers approved by a majority in amount of the Shares sold in the Offering held as of the date of approval (“ Subscriber Consent ”), and (vii) any and all securities required to be assumed by the Company by the terms thereof as a result of any of the foregoing even if issued by a predecessor acquired in connection with a business combination, merger or share exchange (collectively, the foregoing (i) through (vii) are “ Excepted Issuances ”), the Company shall not issue any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than $0.25 per share, being the per share price of the Series G Preferred Stock hereunder, without Subscriber Consent other than with regard to Excepted Issuances. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other agreement to the contrary, the Company shall only be required to make a single adjustment with respect to any Lower Price Issuance, regardless of the existence of multiple basis therefore.
(e) Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock . In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein. The number of Shares that the Subscriber shall thereafter be entitled to receive (including number of shares of Conversion Shares the Subscriber may thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Shares) shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section) be issuable on such conversion or exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price then in effect.
(f) Certificate as to Adjustments . In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in (i) the Shares or (ii) the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Shares, the Company, at its expense, will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Series G Certificate of Designation, and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Subscriber.

In furtherance thereof, the Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company and its affiliates as follows:
(i) The Subscriber realizes that the basis for the exemption from registration may not be available if, notwithstanding the Subscriber’s representations contained herein, the Subscriber is merely acquiring the Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The Subscriber does not have any such intention.
(ii) The Subscriber realizes that the basis for exemption would not be available if the Offering is part of a plan or scheme to evade registration provisions of the Securities Act or any applicable state or federal securities laws, except sales pursuant to a registration statement or sales that are exempted under the Securities Act.
(iii) The Subscriber is acquiring the Securities solely for the Subscriber’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with a view towards, or resale in connection with, any distribution of the Securities.
(iv) The Subscriber has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of the Subscriber’s investment, has adequate means for providing for its current needs and contingencies, and has no need for liquidity with respect to an investment in the Company.
(v) The Subscriber and the Subscriber’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the “ Advisors ”) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of a prospective investment in the Securities. If other than an individual, the Subscriber also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.
(vi) The Subscriber (together with its Advisors, if any) has received all documents requested by the Subscriber, if any, and has carefully reviewed them and understands the information contained therein, prior to the execution of this Agreement.
(c) The Subscriber is not relying on the Company or any of its employees, agents, sub-agents or advisors with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations involved in this investment. The Subscriber has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its Advisors. Each Advisor, if any, has disclosed to the Subscriber in writing (a copy of which is annexed to this Agreement) the specific details of any and all past, present or future relationships, actual or contemplated, between the Advisor and the Company or any affiliate or sub-agent thereof.
(d) The Subscriber has carefully considered the potential risks relating to the Company and a purchase of the Securities, and fully understands that the Securities are a speculative investment that involves a high degree of risk of loss of the Subscriber’s entire investment.

(e) The Subscriber will not sell or otherwise transfer any Securities without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that the Subscriber must bear the economic risk of its purchase because, among other reasons, the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available. In particular, the Subscriber is aware that the Securities are “restricted securities,” as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“ Rule 144 ”), and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met.
