#### Common Stock
The holders of Cara’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of Cara’s common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by Cara’s board of directors out of legally available funds. Upon Cara’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Cara’s common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preferences of any outstanding shares of preferred stock. Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights and no right to convert their common stock into any other securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to Cara’s common stock.

Additional shares of authorized common stock may be issued, as authorized by Cara’s board of directors from time to time, without stockholder approval, except as may be required by applicable stock exchange requirements.

The rights of the holders of Cara’s common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of shares of any preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

Pursuant to Cara’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, Cara’s board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders (unless such stockholder action is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing rules), to designate and issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, to fix the designations, powers, preferences, privileges and relative participating, optional or special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the common stock,
