CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

At any time on or after issuance, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following rights with respect to conversion into shares of the Common Stock (the "Conversion Rights"):

i)Mechanics of Conversion. Each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock who desires to convert the same into shares of the Common Stock pursuant to this Article VI shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefore, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that such holder elects to convert the same. Such notice shall state the number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock being converted.

Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificates representing the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person entitled to receive the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of the Common Stock on such date.

 

B.Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date, the Company effects a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock without a corresponding subdivision of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased.

In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article VI Subsection H with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock after the capital reorganization, merger or consolidation to the end that the provisions of this Article VI Subsection H H(including adjustment of the Preferred Stock Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable.

 

E.Certificate of Adjustment. In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Preferred Stock Conversion Price for the number of shares of the Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company, at its expense, shall compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall either (i) via electronic mail or (ii) mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder of the Preferred Stock at the holder's address as shown in the Company's books. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (i) the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Company for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (ii) the Effective Price of any such Additional Shares of Common Stock, (iii) the Preferred Stock Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock, at the time in effect, (iv) the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock and (v) the type and amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

G.Automatic Conversion to Common Stock upon Effectiveness of Exchange Listing.

 

i)The Series A Preferred A Stock shall automatically convert into common shares twenty-four (24) months (the "Conversion Date") after the listing of the common shares on an Approved Stock Exchange pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, and a Form 10/12b Registration, as amended (the "Act"), (the time of the event specified is referred to herein as the "Automatic Conversion Time"),

 

(1)all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of the Common Stock, on a one for one basis, which shall be post reverse split as may be necessary for any Exchange listing, and
   
 (2)such shares of Series A may not be reissued by the Company. A condition of this conversion is that a Registration Statement for the conversion shares shall be effective.

 

ii)Within a minimum of ten (10) business days prior to the Conversion Date, the Company shall send to all holders of record of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock written notice of the Automatic Conversion Time for the automatic conversion of all such shares of the Preferred Stock pursuant to this Article VI Subsection J. The Company need not verify the receipt of such notice in advance of the occurrence of the Automatic Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Company at the place designated in such notice, and shall thereafter receive an electronic book entry certificate or certificates for the number of shares of the Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article VI Subsection J.

 

iii)All shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall, from and after the Automatic Conversion Time, no longer be deemed to be outstanding and, notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender the certificates for such shares on or prior to such time, all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Automatic Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of the Common Stock in exchange therefor and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Such converted shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Company may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of the Preferred Stock accordingly.

 

H.Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of the Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. All shares of the Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of the Series A Preferred Stock by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If the conversion would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall round up to the next highest whole number.

 

I.Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company 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 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of the Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. 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 then-outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its legal counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of the Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

 

J.Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all taxes (other than taxes based upon income) and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the issue or delivery of shares of the Common Stock upon conversion of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, excluding any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of the Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock so converted were registered.
