In addition, each of Boulderado and Magnolia received warrants to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share for each 10 shares of Class A Common Stock purchased, resulting in each of Boulderado and Magnolia receiving warrants to purchase 52,780 shares of Class A Common Stock.  These warrants are exercisable at any time on or before June 18, 2025. Of these warrants, 51,576 are exercisable at $10.00 per share and 1,262 are exercisable at $8.00 per share.

Proceeds from the sale of Class A Common Stock were used to acquire certain outdoor advertising billboards and related assets from Bell Media, LLC as described in Item 2.01 of this Report on Form 8-K.

Each holder of our Common Stock will be eligible to participate in an offering of Class A Common Stock and Warrants under a rights offering to be conducted commencing in July 2015.  Under the terms of the rights offering, each of our stockholders may participate based on his, her or its proportionate ownership of Common Stock and will have at least 30 days from the commencement date of the rights offering to elect to subscribe to purchase the Class A Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share of Class A Common Stock.  Each stockholder electing to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock will also receive a warrant to purchase a share of Class A Common Stock for each 10 shares of Class A Common Stock purchased. Boulderado and Magnolia, which own approximately 95% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, will not participate further in the rights offering

ITEM 3.02      UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

As referenced in Item 1.01 of this Report on Form 8-K, we sold 527,769 shares of Class A Common Stock  to each of Boulderado and Magnolia and warrants to purchase up to an additional 52,777 shares of Class A Common Stock.  The shares were issued pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D.

I TEM 5.01      CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT

The information included in Item 1.01 of this Report is also incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01 of this Report to the extent necessary as it relates to the issuance of 527,769 shares of our Class A Common Stock and warrants to purchase up to an additional 52,777 shares of Class A Common Stock to each of Boulderado and Magnolia.  Prior to this issuance, Boulderado and Magnolia together owned (and continue to own) approximately 95% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Each of Boulderado and Magnolia agreed as part of the Voting and First Refusal Agreement to elect as the Class A Directors each of Alex B. Rozek, as a nominee of Boulderado and Adam Peterson, as a nominee of Magnolia.  In the event of (a) the death of a Class A Director, (b) the incapacitation of a Class A Director as a result of illness or accident, which makes it reasonably unlikely that the Class A Director will be able to perform his normal duties for the Company for a period of ninety (90) days, or (c) a change of control of Boulderado or Magnolia, then the Class A stockholder which nominated such dead or incapacitated Class A Director, or the Class A stockholder undergoing such change of control, shall convert all of such Class A Common Stock into shares of our Common Stock, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.   The Voting and First Refusal Agreement also provides each of the Company and the other party to the Voting Agreement with the right of first refusal to purchase the Class A Common Stock proposed to be sold by the other holder of Class A Common Stock.
 
ITEM 5.03     AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGES IN FISCAL YEAR

On June 17, 2015, we amended and restated our Certificate of Incorporation.  This action was taken by means of an action by consent of stockholders owning approximately 95% of our issued and outstanding common stock.    As part of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, we:

*           Effected a 1:7 reverse stock split effective as of June 17, 2015.  This reverse stock split does not effect the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued on June 19, 2015.

*           Created 1,200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.  Each share of Class A Common Stock is identical to the Common Stock in liquidation, dividend and similar rights.  The only difference is that each Class A Common Stock has 10 votes for each share held, while the Common Stock has a single vote per share.  Shares of Class A Common Stock held by Magnolia and Boulderado automatically convert into shares of Common Stock as described in a Voting Agreement by and between us, Boulderado and Magnolia dated June 18, 2015.

*           The holders of record of the shares of Class A Common Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect two (2) directors to our Board of Directors  (the “Class A Directors”), which number of Class A Directors may be reduced pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Voting and First Refusal.  Any Class A Director may be removed without cause by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of eighty percent (80%) of the shares of Class A Common Stockexclusively and as a separate class, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of such stockholders.

*            At any time when shares of Class A Common Stock are outstanding, we may not, without the affirmative vote of all of the Class A Directors:
 
**           Amend, alter or otherwise change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Class A Common Stock, or amend, alter or repeal any provision of our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws in a manner that adversely affects the powers, preferences or rights of the Class A Common Stock.
 
**           Liquidate, dissolve or wind-up our business, effect any merger or consolidation or any other deemed liquidation event or consent to any of the foregoing.

***           Increase or decrease the authorized number of directors constituting the Board of Directors.
 
***           Hire, terminate, change the compensation of, or amend the employment agreements of, our executive officers.
 
***           Purchase or redeem (or permit any subsidiary to purchase or redeem) or pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution on, any shares of our capital stock.
 
***           Create, or authorize the creation of, or issue, or authorize the issuance of any debt security, if our aggregate indebtedness for borrowed money following such action would exceed $10,000, or guarantee, any indebtedness except for our own trade accounts arising in the ordinary course of business.
 
***           Make, or permit any subsidiary to make, any loan or advance outside of the ordinary course of business to any employee or director.
 
***           Create, or hold capital stock in, any subsidiary that is not wholly owned (either directly or through one or more other subsidiaries) by us or permit any direct or indirect subsidiary to sell, lease, otherwise dispose all or substantially all of the assets of any subsidiary.
 
***           Change our principal business, enter new lines of business, or exit the current line of business.
 
***           Enter into any agreement involving the payment, contribution, or assignment by us  or to us of money or assets greater than $10,000.
 
***           Enter into or be a party to any transaction outside of the ordinary course of business with any our directors, officers, or employees or any “associate” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of any such person or entity.
 
***           Acquire, by merger, stock purchase, asset purchase or otherwise, any material assets or securities of any other corporation, partnership or other entity.
 
*           We also removed Article Eleventh of our prior Certificate of Incorporation whereby stockholders bringing certain legal actions against us would be required to pay our legal fees if they were not totally successful in any legal action against us.

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Voting Agreement are attached to this Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 4.7 and 4.8.
 
ITEM 5.07      SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
 
           On June 18, 2015, our stockholders approved, by means of a written consent in lieu of special meeting, an action to amend and restate our Certificate of Incorporation.  The terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation are described in Item 5.03 in this Report on Form 8-K and the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 4.7.

8.2            Governing Law .  This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and not by choice of law principles or the laws of any other state.
 
8.3            Dispute Resolution .  Any disputed matter between the parties or any of their respective successors and assigns under or related to this Agreement shall be governed exclusively and finally by arbitration.  Such arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“ AAA ”) in Washington, DC, and shall be initiated and conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, as such rules shall be in effect on the date of a delivery of a demand for arbitration (“ Demand ”), except to the extent that such rules are inconsistent with the provisions set forth herein.  The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator (the “ Arbitrator ”) to be mutually selected by, and agreeable to, Buyer and Seller.  If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree on the Arbitrator within forty-five (45) days of the date of a Demand, then the parties agree that an Arbitrator shall be designated by the AAA.  In any event, the Arbitrator shall be independent and without any economic or financial interest of any kind in the outcome of the arbitration.  Any award by the Arbitrator shall be accompanied by a written opinion setting forth the findings of fact and conclusions of law relied upon in reaching the decision.  The award rendered by the Arbitrator shall be final, binding and non-appealable, and judgment upon such award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction.   Each party shall pay the fees of its own attorneys, expenses of witnesses and all other expenses and costs in connection with the presentation of such party’s case.  The remaining costs of the arbitration, including without limitation, fees of the Arbitrator, costs of records or transcripts and administrative fees shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arbitrator may modify the allocation of such costs and fees in those cases where fairness dictates a different allocation of costs between the parties and an award of attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party as determined by the Arbitrator.
 
8.4            Public Announcements .  No public announcement or press release concerning the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be made by either party, except as required by law or as required under full and fair disclosure practices for public companies, unless agreed to in writing by both parties.
 
8.5            Third Party Rights .  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create any right with respect to any person or entity not a party to this Agreement.
 
8.6            Entire Agreement and Amendments .  This Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and the documents delivered pursuant hereto, embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties. This Agreement may not be amended except in writing, signed by both parties.
 
 
 

 
 
8.7            Expenses .  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, all fees and expenses incurred in connection herewith including, without limitation, all legal, accounting, financial, advisory, consulting and all other fees and expenses of third parties incurred by a party in connection with the negotiation and consummation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be the obligation of the respective party incurring such fees and expenses.
 
8.8            Partial Invalidity .  Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.
 
8.9            Counterparts .  This Agreement (or the signature pages hereof) may be executed in any number of counterparts; all such counterparts shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument; and each of said counterparts shall be deemed an original hereof.

This Purchaser Questionnaire (this “ Questionnaire ”) must be completed and delivered to BOSTON OMAHA CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), by you as a prospective purchaser of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company (the “ Shares ”) and warrants to purchase additional shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company (“ Warrants ”).

The purpose of this Questionnaire is to determine whether you meet the standards imposed by Section 4(2) of, or Regulation D under, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”).  Eligibility is determined, among other things, by the ability of the investor to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in Shares and Warrants of the Company based on his or her knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, or by certain financial criteria.  The undersigned understands that the offering of the Shares and Warrants by the Company has not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, the securities of “blue sky” laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and the Shares and Warrants involved in this offering are being sold in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements thereof.

Please thoroughly complete, sign and date this Questionnaire, and deliver it to:

Gennari Aronson, LLP
300 First Avenue, Suite 102
Needham, MA 02494
Attention: Joseph B. Ramadei
jramadei@galawpartners.com

Please contact Joseph B. Ramadei, counsel to the Company, at (781) 719-9900 if you have any questions with respect to this Questionnaire.  Incomplete answers to questions or questions answered in such a way (either singly or collectively) so as to indicate to the Company that it should ask for more information will delay the Company’s review of the Questionnaire and consideration of the proposed investment by the prospective investor.

Your answers will be relied upon by the Company.  Your answers will be kept confidential, except to the extent disclosure may be required under or in connection with any federal or state laws or if the contents are relevant to an issue in any action, suit or proceeding to which the Company is a party or by which it is or may be bound.  However, each person who agrees to invest in the Company hereby agrees that the Company may present this completed Questionnaire or a copy of this completed Questionnaire to its attorneys or such other parties as it/they, in its/their sole discretion, deem appropriate to ensure that the proposed offer and sale of the Shares and Warrants of the Company involved in this offering will not result in a violation of the registration provisions of the Securities Act or a violation of the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state or other jurisdiction.   A false statement by you will constitute a violation of your representations and warranties under the Subscription Agreement and may also constitute a violation of law, for which a claim for damages may be made against you.
 
 
 

 

This Questionnaire does not constitute an offer of Shares or Warrants by the Company, but is merely a request for information.

BOSTON OMAHA CORPORATION, a Delaware   corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby certifies that, for value received, ________________, or its registered assigns (the “ Holder ”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company at any time or from time to time before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time, on the Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined), that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock (as defined below) as is equal to the Warrant Number (as hereinafter defined), at the Exercise Price (as hereinafter defined).  The Warrant Number and Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided in this Warrant.

(b)        “ Expiration Date ” means June 18, 2025.

2.             Exercise of Warrant .
 
(a)              Exercise of Warrant .  Subject to the provisions of Section 1 , this Warrant may be exercised in full or in part by the Holder hereof by surrender of this Warrant, together with an exercise notice in the form attached hereto (the “ Exercise Notice ”) duly executed by the Holder, to the Company at its principal office, accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares of Class A Common Stock to be purchased hereunder upon such exercise.  In accordance with Section 13 below, upon any transfer of this Warrant prior to its exercise or expiration, this Warrant shall automatically be converted into a Warrant to acquire shares of the Company’s Common Stock (as defined below).
 
 
 

 
 
(b)              Partial Exercise .  For any partial exercise pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, the Holder shall designate in the Exercise Notice the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that it wishes to purchase.  On any such partial exercise, the Company at its expense shall forthwith issue and deliver to the Holder a new warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Holder, which shall be exercisable for such number of shares of Class A Common Stock represented by this Warrant which have not been purchased upon such exercise.
 
(c)              Payment of Exercise Price .  At the option of the Holder, payment of the Exercise Price for any exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 2(a) above shall be made (i) by wire transfer of funds to an account in a bank located in the United States designated by the Company for such purpose, (ii) by check payable to the order of the Company, (iii) by cashless exercise as provided in Section 2(d) below, (iv) by offsetting any indebtedness or other amount owed by the Company to the Holder, or (v) by any combination of such methods.
 
(d)              Cashless Exercise . This Warrant may be exercised at the Holder’s election, in whole or in part, by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by the following formula:
 
(A - B)(X)
(A)
 
where:
 
 
(A)
=
the fair market value (“ FMV ”) of one share of Class A Common Stock as of the date of such exercise, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board ”);
 
 
(B)
=
the Exercise Price, as adjusted hereunder; and
 
 
(X)
=
the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
 
3.             When Exercise Effective .  The exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the business day on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 2(a) (together with the Exercise Notice and payment specified in Section 2(a) ).
 
4.             Delivery on Exercise .  As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part pursuant to Section 2(a) , and in any event within ten (10) business days thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable full shares of Class A Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, together with cash, in lieu of any fraction of a share, equal to such fraction of the then FMV at the time of exercise.  The Board shall promptly respond in writing to a reasonable inquiry by the Holder hereof as to the FMV of the Class A Common Stock for purposes of this Section 4 .  
 
 
2

 
 
All shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all preemptive rights, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, and the Company shall pay all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed in respect to the issue or delivery thereof.
 
5.             Termination of Warrant .  This Warrant shall terminate upon the earlier of the exercise of this Warrant or the Expiration Date.
 
6.             Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of Shares .  The shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price therefor, are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of the following events:
 
(a)              Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Recapitalizations, etc.   The Exercise Price of this Warrant and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.  For example, if there should be a 2-for-1 stock split with respect to the Class A Common Stock, the Exercise Price would be divided by two and such number of shares would be doubled.
 
(b)              Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions .  In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution after the date hereof with respect to shares of Class A Common Stock payable in (i) securities of the Company (other than shares of Class A Common Stock) or (ii) assets (other than cash), then, in each case, the Holder of this Warrant on exercise hereof at any time after the consummation, effective date or record date of such event, shall receive, in addition to the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable on such exercise prior to such date, the securities or such other assets of the Company to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such date if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant).
 
(c)              Other Action Affecting Shares of Class A Common Stock .  In case the Company shall take any action affecting the outstanding number of shares of Class A Common Stock other than an action described in any of the above Sections 6(a) or 6(b) , which is determined in good faith by the Board to have an inequitable effect on Holder, the Exercise shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as Board determines in good faith to be equitable in the circumstances.
 
(d)              Certificate as to Adjustments .  In case of any adjustment or readjustment under this Section 6 , the Company will promptly (but within ten (10) business days) give written notice thereof to the Holder of this Warrant in the form of a certificate, certified and confirmed by the President of the Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
 
7.             No Impairment .  The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against impairment.
 
 
3

 
 
8.             Notices of Record Date, etc.   In the event of
 
(a)             any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or
 
(b)             any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other person including, without limitation, any change of control of the Company, or

11.             Investment Intent .  Unless a current registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) shall be in effect with respect to the issuance of the securities to be issued upon exercise or redemption of this Warrant, the Holder thereof, by accepting this Warrant, covenants and agrees that, at the time of exercise hereof, and at the time of any proposed transfer of securities acquired upon exercise hereof, such Holder will deliver to the Company a written statement that the securities acquired by the Holder upon exercise hereof are for the own account of the Holder for investment and are not acquired with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof (or any portion thereof) and with no present intention (at any such time) of offering and distributing such securities.  The Holder hereof represents and warrants that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

13.             Transfer .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Holder shall not assign or transfer this Warrant without the prior written consent of the Company.  In the event the Holder sells, assigns, gives, pledges, hypothecates, encumbers or otherwise transfers all or any portion of this Warrant in accordance with this Section 13 , then this Warrant shall automatically (without any further action required on the part of the Company, the Holder or the transferee) be converted into a Warrant to acquire shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“ Common Stock ”).  In such event, this Warrant shall be exercisable for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Warrant Number for a price equal to the Exercise Price, and all references to Class A Common Stock in this Warrant shall be deemed deleted and replaced with references to Common Stock.

15.             Damages .  The Company recognizes and agrees that the Holder will not have an adequate remedy if the Company fails to comply with the terms of this Warrant and that damages will not be readily ascertainable, and the Company expressly agrees that, in the event of such failure, it shall not oppose an application by the Holder of this Warrant requiring specific performance of any and all provisions hereof or enjoining the Company from continuing to commit any such breach on the terms hereof.

4.2.1.            Notice of Conversion .  In order for a holder of Class A Common Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Class A Common Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Class A Common Stock (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Class A Common Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that such holder elects to convert all or any number of the shares of the Class A Common Stock represented by such certificate or certificates and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent.  Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued.  If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing.  The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) of such certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) and notice shall be the time of conversion (the “ Conversion Time ”), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares represented by such certificate so elected to be converted in such notice shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of the Conversion Time.  The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, (i) issue and deliver to such holder of Class A Common Stock, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and a certificate for the number (if any) of the shares of Class A Common Stock represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Stock, and (ii) pay all declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Class A Common Stock converted.
 
4.2.2.            Reservation of Shares .  The Corporation shall at all times when the Class A Common Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Class A Common Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Class A Common Stock; 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 then outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation.
 
4.2.3.            Effect of Conversion .  All shares of Class A Common Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon.

Any shares of Class A Common Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Class A Common Stock accordingly.

4.3            Notice of Record Date .  In the event:
 
(a)           the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Class A Common Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or
 
(b)           of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation Event; or
 
(c)           of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation,
 
then, and in each such case, the Corporation will send or cause to be sent to the holders of the Class A Common Stock a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Class A Common Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Class A Common Stock and the Common Stock.  Such notice shall be sent at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.
