Each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock converts into 1,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock, upon the date on which an amendment to the Issuer's Articles of Incorporation as amended, is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Washington to increase the authorized shares of the Issuer's common stock from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares.
