Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the respective meanings set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

 

 

 

 

2. Rank. The Series shall, with respect to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, rank:

 

  (i) Senior and prior to the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”), and any additional series of preferred stock which may in the future be issued by the Corporation and are designated in the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or the certificate of designation establishing such additional preferred stock as ranking junior to the Preferred D Shares. Any shares of the Corporation’s Capital Stock which are junior to the Preferred D Shares with respect to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation are hereinafter referred to as “Junior Liquidation Shares.”
     
  (ii) Pari passu any additional series of preferred stock which may in the future be issued by the Corporation and are designated in the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or the certificate of designation establishing such additional preferred stock as ranking equal to the Preferred D Shares or which do not state they are Junior Liquidation Shares or Senior Liquidation Shares (as defined below).

4. Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation (a “Liquidation Event”), the Holders (i) shall not be entitled to receive any Compensatory Distributions until all Senior Liquidation Shares shall have been paid in full, and (ii) shall be entitled to receive Compensatory Distributions on such shares held by them in preference to and in priority over any distributions upon the Junior Liquidation Shares. Upon payment in full of all Compensatory Distributions to which the Holders are entitled, the Holders will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. If the assets of the Corporation are not sufficient to pay in full the Compensatory Distributions payable to the Holders and the Compensatory Distributions payable to the holders of any Parity Liquidation Shares, the holders of all such shares shall share ratably in such distribution of assets in accordance with the amounts that would be payable on the distribution if the amounts to which the Holders and the holders of Parity Liquidation Shares are entitled were paid in full.

 

  5. Conversion.

 

(a) Right to Convert. Each Holder shall have the right to convert, at any time after the date of issuance of the Series (the “Voluntary Conversion Date”). Any time after the Voluntary Conversion Date the Holder may convert any number of the Preferred D Shares held by such Holder into a certain number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”), so long as that in no event the Holder be entitled to convert any Preferred D Shares upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of common stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Preferred D Shares or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred D Shares with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Consultant and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.

 

(b) Conversion Notice. In order to convert Preferred D Shares, a Holder shall send to the Corporation by facsimile transmission, at any time prior to 12:00 p.m., central time, on the Business Day (as used herein, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day except a Saturday, Sunday or any day recognized as a Federal holiday in the United States) on which such Holder wishes to effect such Conversion (the “Conversion Date”), a notice of conversion in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (a “Conversion Notice”), stating the number of Preferred D Shares to be converted, and a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion in accordance with paragraph 5(c) below. The Holder shall promptly thereafter send the Conversion Notice and the certificate or certificates being converted to the Corporation. The Corporation shall issue a new certificate for Preferred D Shares to the Holder reflecting the number of shares a Holder holds subsequent to each Conversion; provided, however, that the failure of the Corporation to deliver such new certificate shall not affect the right of the Holder to submit a further Conversion Notice with respect to such Preferred D Shares and, in any such case, the Holder shall be deemed to have submitted the original of such new certificate at the time that it submits such further Conversion Notice(s). Except as otherwise provided herein, upon delivery of a Conversion Notice by a Holder in accordance with the terms hereof, such Holder shall, as of the applicable Conversion Date, be deemed for all purposes to be the record owner of the Common Stock to which such Conversion Notice relates.

 

 

 

 

(c) Number of Conversion Shares. The number of Conversion Shares to be delivered by the Corporation to a Holder for each Preferred D Share pursuant to a Conversion shall be 30 fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. The number of Conversion Shares issued shall never, when combined with all other then outstanding shares of Common Stock and shares of Common Stock which have been subscribed for or otherwise committed to be issued, exceed the number of shares of Common Stock then authorized to be issued by the Corporation, and in the event that there are insufficient shares of Common Stock authorized to permit the full Conversion contemplated by any Conversion Notice, the Corporation will promptly take all such actions necessary so as to permit the full Conversion contemplated by such Conversion Notice as soon as practicable after receipt by the Corporation of such Conversion Notice.

 

(d) Delivery of Conversion Shares. The Corporation shall, no later than the close of business on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the later of the date on which the Corporation receives a Conversion Notice from a Holder by facsimile transmission pursuant to paragraph 5(b), above, and the date on which the Corporation receives the related Preferred D Shares certificate (such fifth Business Day, the “Delivery Date”), issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder the number of Conversion Shares determined pursuant to paragraph 5(c) above.

 

  (e) If:
     
  (i) the Corporation shall authorize the granting of to the holders of its Common Stock generally of rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or any other rights, warrants or options; or
     
  (ii) there shall be any reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock or a change in par value) or any consolidation, merger, or statutory share exchange to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
     
  (iii) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation;

 

 

 

 

then, the Corporation shall cause to be delivered to each Holder in accordance with the notice provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, as promptly as possible, but at least 20 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or granting of rights, warrants or options or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights, warrants or options are to be determined, or (B) the date on which such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in this paragraph 5(e).

 

(f) Subject to the proviso set forth in paragraph 5(d) hereof, the Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of the shares of the Series the maximum number of each of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series, and shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock, or any other actions necessary or desirable, if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to permit such reservation or to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series.

 

6. Status of Shares. All Preferred D Shares that are at any time converted pursuant to paragraph 5 above, and all Preferred D Shares that are otherwise reacquired by the Corporation and subsequently canceled by the Board of Directors, shall be retired and shall not be subject to reissuance.

 

7. Voting Rights. This Series shall have no voting rights. Upon Conversion of the Preferred D Shares into Common Shares, the Holder shall have all of the rights of the Common Shareholders, including but not limited to voting. Pursuant to paragraph 5(b), The Holder shall be deemed to be the owner of record of the Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

 

  8. Restrictions and Limitations.

  (viii) enter into any definitive agreement or commitment with respect to any of the foregoing; or

In the event that the Holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Preferred D Shares agree to allow the Corporation to alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series pursuant to applicable law, no such change shall be effective to the extent that, by its terms, such change applies to less than all of the Preferred D Shares then outstanding.
