On May 9, 2007, the Company entered into the material agreements described under Item 3.02 below.
 
Item 3.02: Unregistered Sales of Securities
 
On May 9, 2007, the Company entered into subscription agreements with 28 individual investors for an offering of $3.375 million in consideration for 3,375 shares of Series A-2 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, (the “Series A-2 Preferred Stock”). In addition, the Company issued warrants to purchase 2,033,133 shares of common stock exercisable at $.83 per share. The offering was made in reliance on Rule 506 of Regulation D as promulgated by the United States Securities Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
The proceeds of the offering will primarily be used to support sales and marketing efforts for the consumer and corporate VOIP services. The entire offering, which was for up to 7,000 shares of series A-1 and Series A-2 Preferred Stock has now been concluded. The Company has the right to sell up to an additional 3,000 shares as part of its over allotment option.
 
The terms of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock provide that it will pay dividends at 8% and will be convertible into Fusion’s common stock at a fixed conversion price of $.83 per share, which represents a 20% premium over the average closing price of the common stock three days prior to the closing date of the transaction. Investors will also receive warrants equal to 50% of the shares issuable upon conversion. The warrants will have a fixed exercise price of $.83 per share.
 
The Company is obligated to use its best efforts to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission including the shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A-1 and A-2 Preferred Stock and the warrants within 90 days of the date hereof.
 
The investors include the Company’s Chairman, CEO, Treasurer, and several members of the Company’s Board of Directors and executive management.
 
Item 8.01: Other Events
 
In connection with the offering, the Company created a new class of preferred stock (Series A-2 Preferred Stock, $.01 par value).

(12) The undersigned has accurately completed the Qualified Purchaser Questionnaire provided herewith and has executed such Qualified Purchaser Questionnaire and any applicable exhibits thereto.

(13) 

(i) The undersigned understands that none of the Securities have been registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws in reliance on exemptions for private offerings; the Securities cannot be resold or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from registration is available. The certificate(s) representing the Securities will bear a legend substantially similar to the legend set forth immediately below until (i) such Securities shall have been registered under the 1933 Act and effectively disposed of in accordance with a registration statement, or (ii) in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company such securities may be sold without registration under the 1933 Act:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "1933 ACT"), OR THE "BLUE SKY" OR SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (i) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE 1933 ACT WHICH HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE AND IS CURRENT WITH RESPECT TO THESE SECURITIES, OR (ii) PURSUANT TO A SPECIFIC EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE 1933 ACT BUT ONLY UPON A HOLDER THEREOF FIRST HAVING OBTAINED THE WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT THE PROPOSED DISPOSITION IS CONSISTENT WITH ALL APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE 1933 ACT AS WELL AS ANY APPLICABLE "BLUE SKY" OR SIMILAR SECURITIES LAWS."

(ii) The undersigned understands that in the absence of registration by the Company, the Securities will not be, and, except as set forth in Section D of this Subscription Agreement, the undersigned will have no rights to require that the Securities shall be, registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws; the undersigned may have to hold the Securities indefinitely and it may not be possible for the undersigned to liquidate his, her or its investment in the Company; and the undersigned should not purchase any Securities unless he, she or it can afford a complete loss of his, her or its investment and bear the burden of such loss for an indefinite period of time.

(iii) The undersigned understands there is no public market for the Securities and that no public market may develop for any such Securities. The undersigned understands that the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act to permit resales of the Securities are not available for at least one (1) year after the same class of securities is registered under the 1933 Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), and there can be no assurances that any such class of securities will ever be registered under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, or even if such class of securities is registered under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, that the conditions necessary thereafter to permit routine sales of the Securities under Rule 144 will ever be satisfied, and, if Rule 144 should become available, routine sales made in reliance on its provisions could be made only in limited amounts and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Rule 144. The undersigned further understands that in connection with the sale of securities for which Rule 144 is not available, compliance with some other exemption from registration will be required. The undersigned understands, subject to the provisions of Section D of this Subscription Agreement, that the Company is under no obligation to the undersigned to register any such class of securities or to comply with the conditions of Rule 144 or take any other action necessary in order to make available any exemption for the resale of the Securities without registration.

(14) The undersigned, if an individual, is at least 21 years of age.

(15) If at any time prior to issuance of the Securities to the undersigned, any representation or warranty of the undersigned shall no longer be true, the undersigned promptly shall give written notice thereof to the Company specifying which representations and warranties are not true and the reason therefor, whereupon the undersigned's subscription may be rejected by the Company in whole or in part.

(16) Notwithstanding the place where this Subscription Agreement may be executed by any of the parties hereto, all of the terms, provisions, and conditions hereof shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute that may arise out of or in connection with this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated before a court located in New York City and the parties hereto submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and local courts of the State of New York located in New York City and of the federal courts in the Southern District of New York with respect to any action or legal proceeding commenced by any party, and irrevocably waive any objection they now or hereafter may have respecting the venue of any action or proceeding brought in such a court or respecting the fact that such court is an inconvenient forum, relating to or arising out of this Subscription Agreement or any acts or omissions relating to the sale of the Securities, and the undersigned consents to the service of process in any such action or legal proceeding by means of registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, in care of the address set forth below or such other address as the undersigned shall furnish in writing to the Company.

(17) THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT, FRAUD OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE UNDERSIGNED'S PURCHASE OF THE SECURITIES.

(18) The undersigned acknowledges that he, she or it understands the meaning and legal consequences of the representations, warranties and acknowledgments contained in this Subscription Agreement and in the Qualified Purchaser Questionnaire, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its stockholders, officers, directors, affiliates, controlling persons, agents and representatives, from and against any and all loss, damage, expense, claim, action, suit or proceeding (including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) as incurred arising out of or in any manner whatsoever connected with (i) a breach of any representation or warranty of the undersigned contained in this Subscription Agreement or in the Qualified Purchaser Questionnaire (ii) any sale or distribution by the undersigned in violation of the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws or (iii) any untrue statement of a material fact made by the undersigned and contained herein or in the Qualified Purchaser Questionnaire, or omission to state herein or in the Qualified Purchaser Questionnaire, a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or in the Qualified Purchaser Questionnaire, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The undersigned acknowledges that such damage could be substantial since (a) the Securities are being offered without registration under the 1933 Act in reliance upon the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or Regulation D of the 1933 Act for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering and, in various states, pursuant to exemptions from registration, (b) the availability of such exemptions is, in part, dependent upon the truthfulness and accuracy of the representations made by the undersigned herein and in its Qualified Purchaser Questionnaire, and (c) the Company will rely on such representations in accepting the undersigned's Subscription Agreement.

(19) The undersigned is not subscribing for the Securities as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, any seminar or meeting, or any solicitation of a subscription by a person not previously known to the undersigned in connection with investments in securities generally.

(20) Unless otherwise indicated on a separate sheet of paper that details any such affiliation submitted by the undersigned to the Company along with this completed Subscription Agreement, the undersigned is not affiliated directly or indirectly with a member broker-dealer firm of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. as an employee, officer, director, partner or shareholder or as a relative or member of the same household of an employee, director, partner or shareholder of an NASD member broker-dealer firm.

(21) Except as expressly provided herein, this Subscription Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder and may be amended only by a writing executed by all of the parties hereto. The undersigned represents that he, she or it has full power and authority (corporate, statutory or otherwise) to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and the other Offering Materials to which the undersigned is a party and to purchase the Securities. The execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement and the Qualified Purchaser Questionnaire will not: (i) violate, conflict with or result in a default under any provision of the Certificate or By-Laws (or analogous organizational documents), if any, of the undersigned; or (ii) violate or result in a violation of, or constitute a default (whether after the giving of notice, lapse of time or both) under, any provision of any law, regulation or rule, or any order of, or any restriction imposed by any court or other governmental agency applicable to the undersigned, except for those which do not, or are not reasonably likely to, adversely affect the undersigned’s ability to perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement and the Qualified Purchaser Questionnaire and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Subscription Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the undersigned, enforceable against the undersigned in accordance with its terms. This Subscription Agreement supersedes all prior arrangements or understandings with respect thereto, whether oral or written. The terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their respective successors, heirs and assigns.

2. Reservation of Shares. For so long as this Warrant has not been exercised in full, the Issuer shall, at all times prior to the end of the Warrant Term, reserve and keep available free from any pre-emptive rights that would reduce the number of shares issuable to the Holder under this Warrant, out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, the number of shares of Common Stock available for exercise hereunder. In the event the number of Common Shares plus all other shares of Common Stock outstanding and otherwise reserved for issuance exceeds the total authorized number of shares of Common Stock, the Issuer shall promptly take all actions necessary to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock, including causing its board of directors to call a special meeting of stockholders and recommend such increase.

The Issuer will pay all documentary stamp taxes (if any) attributable to the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrant by the Holder; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of the Warrant or any certificates for Common Shares in a name other than that of the Holder of the Warrant surrendered upon the exercise of the Warrant, and the Issuer shall not be required to issue or deliver a Warrant evidencing rights thereunder or certificates for Common Shares unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Issuer the amount of such tax or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuer that such tax has been paid.
 
5. Adjustments. The number of share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant is subject to adjustment for stock splits, recombinations, stock dividends and the like.

"Parent" shall mean any corporation (other than the Acquiring Person) in an unbroken chain of corporations ending with the Acquiring Person, provided each corporation in the unbroken chain (other than the Acquiring Person) owns, at the time of the determination, stock possessing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain. "Subsidiary" shall mean any corporation at least 50% of whose outstanding voting stock shall at the time be owned directly or indirectly by the Acquiring Person or by one or more Subsidiaries.

8. Agent. The Issuer (and any successor) shall at all times maintain a register of the holders of the Warrant.
 
9. Notice. All notices and other communications from the Issuer to the Holder, or vice versa, shall be deemed delivered and effective when given personally or mailed by first-class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or overnight courier, at such address as may have been furnished to the Issuer or the Holder, as the case may be, in writing by the Issuer or such Holder from time to time.
 
 
-5-

 
 
10. Miscellaneous.
 
10.1 This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York (including Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligation Law), and the Issuer hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the Southern District of New York and any court hearing any appeal therefrom, over any suit, action or proceeding against it arising out of or based upon this Warrant (a "Related Proceeding"). The Issuer hereby waives any objection to any Related Proceeding in such courts whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or on the ground that the Related Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
 
10.2 Any and all remedies set forth in this Warrant: (i) shall be in addition to any and all other remedies the Holder or the Issuer may have at law or in equity, (ii) shall be cumulative, and (iii) may be pursued successively or concurrently as each of Holder and the Issuer may elect. The exercise of any remedy by the Holder or the Issuer shall not be deemed an election of remedies or preclude the Holder or the Issuer, respectively, from exercising any other remedies in the future.
 
10.3 For purposes of this Warrant, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires: (i) the terms defined in this Warrant have the meanings assigned to them in this Warrant and include the plural as well as the singular, and the use of any gender herein shall be deemed to include the other gender and neuter gender of such term; (ii) accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with U.S. GAAP; (iii) references herein to "Articles", "Sections", "Subsections", "Paragraphs" and other subdivisions without reference to a document are to designated Articles, Sections, Subsections, Paragraphs and other subdivisions of this Warrant, unless the context shall otherwise require; (iv) a reference to a Subsection without further reference to a Section is a reference to such Subsection as contained in the same Section in which the reference appears, and this rule shall also apply to Paragraphs and other subdivisions; (v) the words "herein", "hereof", "hereunder" and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision; (vi) the term "include" or "including" shall mean without limitation; (vii) any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statues and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein; and (viii) references to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns and, in the case of an individual, to his or her heirs and estate, as applicable.
 
 
-6-

 
 
10.4 If any term or other provision of this Warrant is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy all other conditions and provisions of this Warrant shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid, void or unenforceable, the undersigned agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Issuer shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Warrant so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
 
10.5 All dollar ($) amounts set forth herein refer to United States dollars. All payments hereunder and thereunder will be made in lawful currency of the United States of America.
 
10.6 The Issuer may not assign its obligations under this Warrant other than by operation of law or in connection with a merger or sale of all or substantially all of the Issuer's assets or stock or a Change in Control of the Issuer. Subject to the terms hereof, Holder may assign, pledge, hypothecate or transfer any of the rights and associated obligations contemplated by this Warrant, in whole or in part, at its sole discretion (including, but not limited to, assignments, pledges, hypothecations and transfers in connection with hedging transactions with respect to this Warrant).
 
10.7 Under the Subscription Agreement, the Issuer is only required to use its best efforts to cause a registration statement covering the issuance of the Registrable Securities to be declared effective, and once effective, only to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement. The Issuer will not be obligated to deliver any Registrable Securities, and there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver any such securities, if a registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise. The failure or inability of the Issuer to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement shall not in any way prevent the expiration of this Warrant at the end of the Warrant Term.
 
 
-7-

 
 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Holder upon any Warrant exercise does not consent to accept unregistered Common Stock in lieu of Registered Common Stock (as defined in the Issuer’s Certificate of Rights and Preferences of Series A-2 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, as amended), then such Holder’s Warrant Notice shall be deemed, without any further action, to have been withdrawn. Moreover, in no event is the Issuer obligated to settle any Warrant exercise, in whole or in part, for cash.

 
This Warrant shall not be valid unless signed by the Issuer.

3. Dividends and Distributions.
 
(A) Holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company legally available for that purpose, dividends at the Dividend Rate to be paid in accordance with the terms of this Section 3. Such dividends shall be fully cumulative from the Issue Date, shall accumulate regardless of whether the Company earns a profit and shall be payable in arrears, when and as declared by the Board (or a duly appointed committee of directors), on January 1 of each year, (each such date being herein referred to as a "Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on January 1, 2008. The period from the Issue Date to January 1, 2008, and each annual period between consecutive Dividend Payment Dates shall hereinafter be referred to as a "Dividend Period." The dividend for any Dividend Period for any share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock that is not outstanding on every calendar day of the Dividend Period shall be prorated based on the number of calendar days such share was outstanding during the period. Each such dividend shall be paid to the Holders of record of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock as their names appear on the share register of the Company on the Dividend Payment Date. Dividends on account of arrears for any past Dividend Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any Dividend Payment Date (including, without limitation, for purposes of computing the Stated Value of any shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock in connection with the conversion or redemption thereof or any Liquidation of the Company), to Holders of record on a date designated by the Board, not exceeding thirty (30) calendar days preceding the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board. For purposes of determining the amount of dividends accrued as of the first Dividend Payment Date and as of any date that is not a Dividend Payment Date, such amount shall be calculated on the basis of the Dividend Rate for the actual number of calendar days elapsed from and excluding the Issue Date (in case of the first Dividend Payment Date and any date prior to the first Dividend Payment Date) or the last preceding Dividend Payment Date (in case of any other date) to the date as of which such determination is to be made, based on a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year.
 
(B) Subject to the following proviso, dividends payable on the Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be paid, at the option of the Holder, in cash or by the issuance of Common Stock provided, however, that the Company may elect to make any payment of dividends by the issuance of Registered Common Stock on any Dividend Payment Date with 10 days’ prior written notice to the Holder, if the Company is a Qualified Public Company on the Dividend Payment Date. The number of shares of Registered Common Stock to be issued shall be determined by dividing the cash amount of the dividend otherwise payable by the Prevailing Price calculated as of such Dividend Payment Date, provided, however, except at the Company’s option, in no event shall such price be less than the price set on the Issue Date; provided, further, if the Company shall combine, subdivide or reclassify its Common Stock, or shall declare any dividend payable in shares of its Common Stock, or shall take any other action of a similar nature affecting such shares, the number of shares of Registered Common Stock to be issued shall be adjusted to the extent appropriate to reflect such event, including appropriate adjustments to account for any such event that occurs during the period used for calculating such Prevailing Price. The number of shares of Registered Common Stock to be issued as a dividend shall be rounded to the nearest whole share after aggregating all shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock owned by a Holder.
 
 
-5-

 
 
(C) If, on any Dividend Payment Date, the Company fails to pay dividends, then until the dividends that were scheduled to be paid on such date are paid, such dividends shall cumulate, but shall not accrue additional dividends. Unpaid dividends for any period less than a full Dividend Period shall cumulate on a day to day basis and shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year.
 
(D) So long as any shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, (i) the Company, except for the payment of dividends or other cash distributions under a joint venture agreement or other strategic alliance with respect to which the Company and/or a Subsidiary is a party, shall not and shall not allow its Subsidiaries to declare or pay any dividend whatsoever, whether in cash, property or otherwise, set aside any cash or property for the payment of dividends, or make any other distribution on any Parity Securities, except for dividends paid to the Company or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries and dividends paid on the Series A Preferred Shares or (ii) the Company shall not and shall not allow its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for value or set aside any cash or property for the repurchase or redemption of any Junior Securities or Parity Securities, unless in each such case all dividends to which the Holders of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall have been entitled to receive for all previous Dividend Periods shall have been paid.
 
(E) Subject to the immediately following sentence, the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any dividend on the Series A-2 Preferred Stock such amounts as the Company is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such dividend under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any other provision of state, local or foreign tax law. In the event the Company or the Holder elects, pursuant to Section 3(B), to pay or be paid, as the case may be, a dividend on the Series A-2 Preferred Stock by issuing Registered Common Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, to a Holder, (i) the Company shall deliver the number of shares of Registered Common Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, that would be delivered to a Holder pursuant to Section 3(B) in the absence of any requirement under applicable law to deduct and withhold any amount with respect to such dividend and (ii) on the Business Day following the Dividend Payment Date, Holder shall transfer to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to what the Company is required under applicable law to deduct and withhold with respect to such dividend. For purposes of determining the withholding amount, the dividend value shall be determined under Section 3(B) hereof.

4. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any Liquidation, after payment or provision for payment by the Company of the debts and other liabilities of the Company and the liquidation preference of any Senior Securities that rank senior to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock with respect to distributions upon Liquidation, each Holder shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash for each share of the then outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Stock held by such Holder equal to the greater of (a) the Stated Value per share to and including the date full payment is tendered to the Holders with respect to such Liquidation, and (b) the amount the Holders would have received if the Holders had converted all outstanding shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock into Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(A) hereof, in each case as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such Liquidation (the "Liquidation Preference"), before any distribution shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities (and any Senior Securities or Parity Securities that, with respect to distributions upon Liquidation, rank junior to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock) upon the Liquidation of the Company. In case the assets of the Company available for payment to the Holders are insufficient to pay the full Liquidation Preference on all outstanding shares of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock and all outstanding shares of Parity Securities and Senior Securities that, with respect to distributions upon Liquidation, are pari passu with the Series A-2 Preferred Stock in the amounts to which the holders of such shares are entitled, then the entire assets of the Company available for payment to the Holders and to the holders of such Parity Securities and Senior Securities shall be distributed ratably among the Holders of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock and the holders of such Parity Securities and Senior Securities, based upon the aggregate amount due on such shares upon Liquidation. Written notice of any Liquidation of the Company, stating a payment date and the place where the distributable amounts shall be payable, shall be given by facsimile and overnight delivery not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the payment date stated therein, to the Holders of record of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, if any, at their respective addresses as the same shall appear on the books of the Company.
 
5. Voting Rights. The Holders shall have the following voting rights with respect to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock:
 
(A) Each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to the voting rights specified in Section 5(B) and no other voting rights except as required by law.
 
(B) The consent of the Holders of at least a Majority of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single class with one vote per share, in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or at an annual or a special meeting of such Holders called for the purpose, shall be necessary to:
 
(i) amend, alter or repeal, by way of merger or otherwise, any of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, including this Certificate, or Bylaws of the Company so as to:
 
 
-7-

 
 
A. change any of the rights, preferences or privileges of Holders. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, such change includes any action that would:
 
1. reduce the Dividend Rate on the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, or make such dividends non-cumulative, or defer the date from which dividends will accrue, or cancel accrued and unpaid dividends, or change the relative seniority rights of the holders of Series A-2 Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends in relation to the holders of any other capital stock of the Company;
 
2. reduce the amount payable to the holders of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, or change the relative seniority of the liquidation preferences of the holders of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock to the rights upon liquidation of the holders of any other capital stock of the Company;
 
3. make the Series A-2 Preferred Stock redeemable at the option of the Company other than in accordance with the terms of this Certificate.
 
B. authorize, create or issue any shares of Parity Securities or Senior Securities (or amend the provisions of any existing class of Capital Stock to make such class of Capital Stock a class of Parity Securities or Senior Securities).
 
(ii) permit any Subsidiary of the Company to issue or sell, or obligate itself to issue or sell, except to the Company or any wholly owned Subsidiary, any security of such Subsidiaries or all or substantially all of the assets of any Subsidiary other than sales of assets on an arm's-length, fair market value basis; or
 
(iii) increase or decrease (other than by redemption or conversion) the total number of authorized shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock or amend any provisions of any Capital Stock so as to make such Capital Stock redeemable by the Company.

(i) General. Shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock are convertible at the option of the Holder thereof at any time, from time to time, in whole or in part, as follows:
 
 
-8-

 
 
A. The conversion of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock may be effected by delivering a duly executed written Series A-2 Preferred Stock Conversion Notice, in form and substance as provided by the Company (the "Conversion Notice"), to the Company, at its principal office specifying the number of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock to be converted and surrendering the certificate representing the shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock to be converted.
 
B. As soon as practicable after each such conversion of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, but not later than five (5) Business Days from the receipt of the Conversion Notice, the Company shall deliver to such Holder at the address specified in the Conversion Notice the Conversion Stock Amount of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Registered Common Stock (or Other Securities or, with such Holder's express written consent, unregistered Common Stock).
 
C. Notwithstanding anything in the Certificate to the contrary, if such Holder does not consent to accept unregistered Common Stock, then such Holder’s Notice of Conversion shall be deemed, without any further action, to have been withdrawn. Moreover, in no event, shall any conversion under the Certificate be settled in cash.
 
(ii) Conversion for stock. Subject to the previous sub-paragraph, such shares of stock shall be converted into that number of shares of Registered Common Stock (or at the sole election of the Holder, unregistered Common Stock) equal to (A) the aggregate Stated Value of such shares divided by (B) the Conversion Price (the "Conversion Stock Amount"). It shall be a condition of either the Company or the converting Holder's obligation to close the conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock that such conversion be in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws and any applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, shall have expired or been terminated without litigation having been commenced that is continuing, or threat of litigation having been made that remains unresolved, by the United States Department of Justice or the United States Federal Trade Commission.
 
(iii) Holder of record. Each conversion of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been effected immediately before the close of business on the Business Day on which the Conversion Notice is delivered, and at such time the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be issuable upon such conversion as provided herein shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof.
 
(iv) Partial conversion. If any conversion is for only part of the shares represented by the certificate surrendered, the Company shall send a new Series A-2 Preferred Stock certificate of like tenor via certified or registered mail RRR or reputable overnight courier to such address specified by the Holder, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock which have not been converted.

(B) Procedure for Conversion by the Company.
 
(i) Conversion by the Company. Shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock may be converted by the Company (a "Company Conversion") in whole or in part for Common Stock as follows
 
A. From and after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company may require the Holders to convert, on a pro rata basis as among the holders of Series A-2 Preferred Shares, shares of Series A-2 Preferred Shares held by such holders on any of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year by delivering a conversion notice to the Holders, at least ten (10) days prior to such conversion and substantially in the form as provided by the Company (a "Company Conversion Notice"), provided that (x) the average of the Daily Market Prices of the Common Stock for the ninety (90) calendar days ended immediately prior to such Conversion Notice is an amount greater than two hundred twenty percent (220%) of the Conversion Price or (y) after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Prevailing Price shall be an amount greater than the Issue Date Price. The number of Series A Preferred Shares so converted under clause (x) may not exceed the number that would be converted for a quantity of shares of Common Stock greater than eight (8) times the average daily reported volume of trading in the Common Stock on all national securities exchanges, Nasdaq market, service, and/or reported through the AMEX as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (or by such other Person as the Company may select) during the ninety (90) calendar days ending one day prior to the Conversion Notice Date concerning a conversion under clause (x). The conversion price under clause (x) shall be determined in accordance with Section 6(A)(ii). The conversion price under clause (y) shall be the Prevailing Price, provided, that the Prevailing Price is greater than the Conversion Price. In the event that the Conversion Price is greater than the Prevailing Price, then the conversion price shall be the Conversion Price.
 
(C) Five Year Call Right. From and after the fifth anniversary of the date on which the Registration Requirement has been satisfied, the Company may from time-to-time issue a call notice to the holders of the Series A-2 Preferred Shares (the “Call Notice”). Such Call Notice, at the Company’s discretion, may be for all or a portion of the Series A-2 Preferred Shares. On or before the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date of the Call Notice, the holders of the Series A-2 Preferred Shares shall deliver to the Company, all, or, in the case of a Call Notice concerning a portion of the Series A-2 Preferred Shares, on a pro rata basis as provided in the Call Notice, based on the number of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Shares held by each holder, Series A-2 Preferred Shares with an aggregate Stated Value equal to the amount designated in the Call Notice. The Company shall promptly thereafter pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount to each such holder equal to the aggregate Stated Value of all such Series A-2 Preferred Shares delivered by such holder.

(D) The Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall be required hereunder.
 
(E) The Company will use its best efforts to procure, at its sole expense, the listing of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock and shares issuable as dividends hereunder, subject to issuance or notice of issuance, on all stock exchanges, markets, and quotation service on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted, no later than the date on which such Series A-2 Preferred Stock is issued to the Holder and thereafter shall use its best efforts to prevent delisting or removal from quotation of such shares. The Company will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion or redemption of shares of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involving the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock so converted or redeemed were registered, and no such issue and delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid.
 
(F) No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion or redemption of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock. If any such conversion or redemption would otherwise require the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock, an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the current Daily Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of conversion or redemption shall be paid to the Holder in cash by the Company. If more than one share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion or redemption at one time by or for the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or redemption thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock so surrendered.

(G) Change of Control. In case the Company on or after the Issue Date is party to any (a) acquisition of the Company by means of merger or other form of corporate reorganization in which outstanding shares of the Company are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the Acquiring Person, herein defined, or its Parent, herein defined, Subsidiary, herein defined, or affiliate, (b) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (on a consolidated basis) in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (c) any other transaction or series of related transactions by the Company or relating to the Common Stock (including without limitation, any stock purchase or tender or exchange offer) in which the power to cast the majority of the eligible votes at a meeting of the Company's stockholders at which directors are elected is transferred to a single entity or group acting in concert, or (d) a capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock or other securities (other than a reorganization or reclassification in which the Common Stock or other securities are not converted into or exchanged for cash or other property, and, immediately after consummation of such transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own the Common Stock, other securities or other voting stock of the Company in substantially the same proportions relative to each other as such stockholders owned immediately prior to such transaction), then, and in the case of each such transaction (each of which is referred to herein as "Change in Control"), proper provision shall be made so that, at the option of the Acquiring Person and upon fifteen days’ notice to the Company and the Holder prior to the consummation of the Change of Control, either (i) the Acquiring Person expressly agrees to assume all of the Company’s obligations under the Series A-2 Preferred Stock or (ii) the Holder has fifteen (15) days in which to exercise its conversion rights under the Series A-2 Preferred Stock. If Holder does not exercise its rights during such fifteen (15) day period, all rights under the Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall terminate and the Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be deemed cancelled. The Company, to the extent feasible, shall provide the Holder with thirty (30) days’ notice of the consummation of any Change of Control. Subject to the foregoing, on or before the closing date under the agreement entered into with an Acquiring Person resulting in a Change in Control, the Company, if applicable, shall deliver to the Holder written notice that the Acquiring Person has assumed such obligations.
