Conversion
Rights.
Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock may convert the stock into
shares
of the Company’s common stock at any time at an initial conversion price
of $2.90 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment as
described below. For any thirty trading day period beginning after
September 25, 2008, the Series B Preferred Stock will automatically
convert into shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price
if the common stock trades above $9.00 per share for 30 consecutive
trading days. The Conversion Price is subject to certain antidilution
adjustments, including for certain common stock dividends and
distributions, stock splits, stock subdivisions and combinations,
reclassifications, reorganizations, consolidations and for issuances
of
additional shares of common stock at below the Conversion
Price.
|
| · |
Voting
Rights.
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock will initially be entitled
to 81
votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Company’s
common stock. This voting ratio is subject to certain adjustments
if the
Conversion Price is adjusted for common stock dividends and distributions,
stock splits, stock subdivisions and combinations or for certain
reclassifications, reorganizations and
consolidations.
|
| · |
Director
Designation Rights.
As long as Oak is a majority holder of the Series B Preferred Stock
and
the beneficial holder of at least 15% of the Company’s common stock, Oak
will be entitled to elect one member to the Company’s Board of
Directors.
|
| · |
Dividends.
Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to participate
in
dividends declared with respect to the common stock as if the Series
B
Preferred Stock was converted into the common
stock.
|
| · |
Redemption
Rights.
The Company has the right on at least 30 but not more than 45 days
notice,
after September 25, 2011, to buy back any then outstanding Series
B
Preferred Stock, in whole or in 15% increments, at a price of $362.50
per
share of Series B Preferred Stock (as appropriately adjusted for
any
combinations, divisions or similar recapitalizations with respect
to the
Series B Preferred Stock), plus an amount equal to all declared and
unpaid
dividends.
|
| · |
Liquidation.
The Series B Preferred Stock is identified as ranking senior and
prior to
the common stock and all other classes or series of capital stock
(other
than preferred stock) with respect to payments upon liquidation.
Upon any
liquidation, holders are entitled to receive prior and in preference
to
any distribution to holders of the Company's common stock, the greater
of
(i) $290 per share of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Original Issue
Price”) (as appropriately adjusted for any combinations, divisions, or
similar recapitalizations with respect to the Series B Preferred
Stock)
plus all accumulated or accrued and unpaid dividends thereon or a
pro rata
portion of the amount available for distribution or (ii) the amount
they
would receive in such transaction if they converted the Series B
Preferred
Stock into Common Stock. The Original Issue Price will be appropriately
adjusted for any combinations, divisions, or similar recapitalizations
with respect to the Series B Preferred
Stock.
|
| · |
Restrictive
Covenants.
So long as the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, pursuant
to the
Articles of Amendment, the Company has agreed to refrain from taking
certain actions without the approval of the Company’s holders of a
majority of the then outstanding Series B Preferred Stock voting
separately as a class (the “Series B Vote”). The Company has agreed, with
certain exceptions, to refrain from (either directly or indirectly
by
merger, consolidation or
reclassification):
|
| · |
amending
the Articles of Incorporation, By-laws or other governing documents
so as
to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Preferred
Stock;
|
| · |
adversely
changing the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B Preferred
Stock or any holder thereof;
|
| · |
creating,
authorizing, designating, offering, selling or issuing any equity
security
that is senior to or pari
passu
with the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to voting rights,
dividends, liquidation preferences or conversion
rights;
|
| · |
authorizing,
offering, selling or issuing any shares of Series A Preferred
Stock;
|
| · |
creating
any new debt instrument or bank line or increasing any existing debt
obligation or bank line, excluding trade payables and capital lease
lines,
if thereafter the Company’s aggregate indebtedness pursuant to such
instruments, lines or arrangements entered into after the closing
of the
Series B Purchase Agreement exceeds $10,000,000 in the aggregate;
and
|
| · |
declaring
or paying any dividends or other distributions with respect to any
capital
stock of the Company, other than dividends on common stock paid in
common
stock with respect to any capital stock of the Company and certain
purchases or redemptions of securities by the
Company.
|
| · |
authorizing
the board of directors to issue additional common and preferred stock.
As
described above, this could make it more difficult for a third party
to
acquire us because our board of directors could issue new securities
without a shareholder vote that might significantly dilute any potential
acquiror.
|
| · |
not
permitting cumulative voting in the election of directors. This makes
it
more difficult for a minority shareholder to gain representation
on the
board of directors.
|
| · |
limiting
the persons who may call special meetings of shareholders to the
President, the Board, the Secretary or shareholders holding 25% or
more of
the outstanding shares.
|
| · |
establishing
advance notice requirements for nominations for election of the board
of
directors or for proposing matters that can be acted on by shareholders
at
shareholder meetings. This allows management to exercise control
over the
agenda considered at shareholder
meetings.
|

|
| · |

of

rights of shares of that series in the event of a merger, acquisition,

assets
or winding-up of Airspan, and the relative rights of priority, if
any, of
payment of shares of that series over shares of any other class or
series;
|
| · |
whether
the issuance of any additional shares of that series, or of any shares
of
any other series, shall be subject to restrictions as to issuance,
or as
to the powers, preferences or rights of any such other
series;
|
| · |

terms of conversion of the shares into shares of common stock or
any other
class or series, or any other security of Airspan or any other

and
restated articles of incorporation and as permitted under the laws
of the
State of Washington.

if
applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which

applicable, the date on and after which the warrants and the related
securities will be separately

number of shares of common stock or preferred stock, as the case
may be,
