CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION

OF

CLOUDCOMMERCE, INC.

 

1. The name of the corporation is CloudCommerce, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”).

 

2. By resolution of the board of directors pursuant to a provision in the articles of incorporation of the Corporation, this certificate establishes the following regarding the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of the following class or series of stock.

 

This series of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock shall be designated "Series C Preferred Stock". The number of shares constituting the Series C Preferred Stock shall be Twenty Five Thousand (25,000) shares. The total face value of this entire series is Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00). Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall have a stated face value of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) (“Share Value”), and is convertible into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of the Corporation in accordance with Section 3 below. The Series C Preferred Stock shall have the rights, preferences and privileges set forth below:

 

Section 1. Dividends. The holders of outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock (the “Holders”) shall be entitled to receive dividends pari passu with the holders of Common Stock, except upon a liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Corporation, as provided below in Section 2 of this Certificate. Such dividends shall be paid equally to all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Common Stock, on an as-if-converted basis with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock. The right to such dividend on the Series C Preferred Stock shall be cumulative. At the sole option of the Holder, dividends may be converted into Common Stock at the Conversion Price in accordance with Section 3 below. In the event that the Corporation declares a stock dividend, the number of dividend shares distributed to Holder shall not exceed the limits set forth in Section 3(c) below, Limitations of Conversions, and the remaining balance of dividend shares shall accrue on the books on the Corporation in favor of the Holders. The Holders may at any time request the distribution of accrued dividend shares, subject to the limitations of Section 3(c) below, by sending a written notice to the Corporation.

 

 

 

 

Section 2. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, the holder of each outstanding share of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders upon such liquidation, whether such assets are capital or surplus of any nature, an amount equal to One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) for each such share of the Series C Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any combinations, consolidations, stock distributions or stock dividends with respect to such shares), plus all dividends, if any, declared and unpaid thereon as of the date of such distribution, before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of the Common Stock, and, after such payment, the remaining assets of the Corporation shall be distributed to the holders of Common Stock.

 

(a)       If the assets to be distributed pursuant to this Section 2 to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the receipt by such holders of the full preferential amounts aforesaid, then all of such assets shall be distributed among such holders of Series C Preferred Stock ratably in accordance with the number of such shares then held by each such holder.

 

(b)       The sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets, any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the stockholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, own less than fifty percent (50%) of the Corporation’s voting power immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization, or any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Corporation is a party in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Corporation’s voting power is transferred, excluding any consolidation or merger effected exclusively to change the domicile of the Corporation, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up within the meaning of this Section 2.

 

Section 3. Conversion. The Series C Preferred Stock shall be subject to conversion into Common Stock upon the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)Timing and Mechanics of Conversion.

 

The Holder has the right, at any time, at its election, to convert shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock. The conversion price shall be One Cent ($0.01) (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustments described in Section 3. The number of shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion of one share of Series C Preferred Stock equals the Share Value divided by the Conversion Price. A conversion notice (the “Conversion Notice”) may be delivered to Corporation by method of Holder’s choice (including but not limited to email, facsimile, mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery), and all conversions shall be cashless and not require further payment from the Holder. If no objection is delivered from the Corporation to the Holder, with respect to any variable or calculation reflected in the Conversion Notice within 24 hours of delivery of the Conversion Notice, the Corporation shall have been thereafter deemed to have irrevocably confirmed and irrevocably ratified such notice of conversion and waived any objection thereto. The Corporation shall deliver the shares of Common Stock from any conversion to the Holder (in any name directed by the Holder) within three (3) business days of Conversion Notice delivery. If the Corporation is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, then upon request of the Holder and provided that the shares to be issued are eligible for transfer under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or are effectively registered under the Securities Act, the Corporation shall cause its transfer agent to electronically issue the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder through the DTC Direct Registration System (“DRS”). If the Corporation is not participating in the DTC FAST program, then the Corporation agrees in good faith to apply and cause the approval for participation in the DTC FAST program.

 

 2 

 

 

(b)Conversion Delays. If Corporation fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in this Section 3, then for each conversion, in the event that shares are not delivered by the fourth business day (inclusive of the day of conversion), a penalty of $1,500 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of the conversion) until share delivery is made; and such penalty may be converted into Common Stock at the Conversion Price or payable in cash, at the sole option of the Holder (under the Holder’s and the Corporation’s expectations that any penalty amounts shall tack back to the original date of the issuance of Series C Preferred Stock, consistent with applicable securities laws).

 

(c)Limitation of Conversions. In no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any Series C Preferred Stock, such that upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of this Series C Preferred Stock or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Series C Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days prior notice to the Corporation, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).

(d)Adjustment to Conversion Price for Stock Dividends, Consolidations and Subdivisions. In case the Corporation at any time after the first issuance of a share of the Series C Preferred Stock shall declare or pay on the Common Stock any dividend in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a greater number of shares of the Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend payable in shares of the Common Stock), or shall combine or consolidate the outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a lesser number of shares of the Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price (as previously adjusted) in effect immediately prior to such declaration, payment, subdivision, combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such declaration, payment, subdivision, combination or consolidation, be proportionately adjusted.

 

(e)Adjustments for Reclassifications and Certain Reorganizations. In case the Corporation at any time after the first issuance of a share of the Series C Preferred Stock shall reclassify or otherwise change the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise, or shall consolidate with or merge with or into any other corporation where the Corporation is not the surviving corporation but not otherwise, then, and in each such case, each outstanding share of the Series C Preferred Stock shall, immediately after the effectiveness of such reclassification, other change, consolidation or merger, be convertible into the type and amount of stock and other securities or property which the holder of that number of shares of the Common Stock into which such share of the Series C Preferred Stock would have been convertible before the effectiveness of such reclassification, other change, consolidation or merger would be entitled to receive in respect of such shares of the Common Stock as the result of such reclassification, other change, consolidation or merger.

 

(f)Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of the Common Stock shall be issuable upon the conversion of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall pay the cash equivalent of any fractional share upon such conversion.

 

(g)Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of the Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of the Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as is necessary to increase its authorized by unissued shares of the Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

Section 6. Protective Provisions. So long as any shares of the Series C Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock voting together as one class alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of the Series C Preferred Stock so as to affect materially and adversely such shares; or
