6.                The holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the following preferences, conversion and other rights, restrictions, voting powers, limitations as to dividends, and qualifications:

 

(a)               Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 6, each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted at the

option of the holder into ten (10) shares of Common Stock (a “Conversion”) at any time after such date that is six months (6) after the date of original issuance of such shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (a “Conversion Event”), subject to such further conditions as the board of directors may establish at its sole discretion.

 

(b)               Prior to Conversion, a holder of a share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to a vote with respect to such share on any matter with respect to which the holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote.

(c)                Upon a Conversion Event, and subject to such further conditions as the board of directors may establish from time to time, a holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock wishing to exercise such holder’s conversion rights shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing the shares being converted to the Corporation at its principal office, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at that office that such holder elects to convert such shares. The certificate for the corresponding number of shares of Common Stock shall be issued in the name of the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock exercising the conversion rights and shall not be transferable upon Conversion, except as the board of directors may otherwise permit at its sole discretion.

(d)               In the event that some but not all of the shares of Series Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a certificate or certificates surrendered by a holder are converted, the Corporation shall execute and deliver to or on the order of the holder, at the expense of the Corporation, a new

(f)                 No share or shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of redemption, purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be canceled, retired and eliminated from the shares which the Corporation shall be authorized to issue.
