Each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, Series G Convertible Preferred Stock and Series H Convertible Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000.00 and is convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i) $0.10 per share and (ii) 105% of the volume weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock during the ten trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. For purposes of this Amendment No. 18, the calculations for the number of Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, Series G Convertible Preferred Stock and Series H Convertible Preferred Stock are based upon a conversion price of $0.1763.
