(A)          Cash Damages.  If (x) within five (5) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to credit a Holder’s balance account with DTC or issue and deliver a certificate to such Holder for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of Preferred Shares or (y) within five (5) Trading Days of the Company’s receipt of a Preferred Stock Certificate the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a new Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of Preferred Shares to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) (each a “Conversion Failure”), then in addition to all other available remedies which such holder may pursue hereunder and under the Securities Purchase Agreement (including indemnification pursuant to Section 9(k) thereof), the Company shall pay additional damages to such Holder for each day after the Share Delivery Date that such conversion is not timely effected and/or each day after the Preferred Stock Delivery Date that such Preferred Stock Certificate is not delivered in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the product of (I) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which such Holder is entitled as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice and, in the event the Company has failed to deliver a Preferred Stock Certificate to the Holder on or prior to the Preferred Stock Delivery Date, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares represented by such Preferred Stock Certificate as of the Preferred Stock Delivery Date and (II) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date, in the case of the failure to deliver Common Stock, or the Preferred Stock Delivery Date, in the case of failure to deliver a Preferred Stock Certificate.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in no event shall the sum of all the following exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate Purchase Price (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement):  (1) the aggregate cash damages for any and all Conversion Failures, (2) at the date of the payment of any Redemption Price, the difference between (a) the aggregate Redemption Price and (B) the Conversion Amount on such date;

12

(3) the difference between (a) the amount of all Dividends paid during all Triggering Periods and (b) the amount of Dividends that would have been paid during all Triggering Periods had the Dividend Rate not increased during the Triggering Periods; (4) the aggregate cash damages paid pursuant to Section 1(c) of the Warrants, and (E) the aggregate cash damages paid pursuant to Section 4(o) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.  The preceding sentence shall be referred to in the Transaction Documents as the “Limitation on Damages.”  If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 2(d)(v)(A) within five (5) Trading Days of the date incurred, then the Holder entitled to such payments shall have the right at any time, so long as the Company continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Company, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of such cash damages, the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (X) the aggregate amount of the damages payments described herein divided by (Y) the Conversion Price in effect on such Conversion Date. In addition to the foregoing, if on the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to a Holder or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion or the Company’s Conversion, as applicable, of Preferred Shares, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Sale Price on the Conversion Date.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of

13

Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Shares as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(B)           Void Conversion Notice; Adjustment of Conversion Price.  If for any reason a Holder has not received all of the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled prior to the tenth (10^th) Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date with respect to a conversion of Preferred Shares, then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, with a copy to the Transfer Agent, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any Preferred Shares that have not been converted pursuant to such Holder’s Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Holder’s Conversion Notice shall not effect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 2(d)(v)(A) or otherwise.  Thereafter, the Conversion Price of any Preferred Shares returned or retained by the Holder for failure to timely convert shall be adjusted to the lesser of (I) the Conversion Price  relating to the voided Conversion Notice and (II) the lowest Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on the Conversion Date and ending on the date such Holder voided the Conversion Notice, subject to further adjustment as provided in this Certificate of Designations.

(vi)          Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes.  In the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such Preferred Shares, the Company shall convert from each Holder electing to have Preferred Shares converted at such time a pro rata amount of such Holder’s Preferred Shares submitted for conversion based on the number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date.  In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Preferred Shares, the Company shall issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 2(d)(iii).

(vii)         Book-Entry.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder thereof shall not be required to physically surrender the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to the Company unless (A) the full or remaining number of Preferred Shares represented by the certificate are being converted or (B) a Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of Preferred Shares upon physical surrender of any Preferred Shares.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Preferred Shares so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of the certificate representing the Preferred Shares

14

upon each such conversion.  In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company establishing the number of Preferred Shares to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted as aforesaid, a Holder may not transfer the certificate representing the Preferred Shares unless such Holder first physically surrenders the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new certificate of like tenor, registered as such Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining number of Preferred Shares represented by such certificate.  A Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred Shares represented by such certificate may be less than the number of Preferred Shares stated on the face thereof.  Each certificate for Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend:

ANY TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 2(d)(vii) THEREOF.  THE NUMBER OF PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF PREFERRED SHARES STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 2(d)(vii) OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.

(e)           Taxes.

(i)            Any and all payments made by the Company hereunder, including any amounts received on a conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares and any amounts on account of dividends or deemed dividends, must be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law. If the Company is aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is a change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction), it must notify the affected Holders promptly.

(ii)           If the Company is required to make a Tax Deduction, it must make the minimum Tax Deduction allowed by law and must make any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed by law.  As soon as practicable after making a Tax Deduction or a payment required in connection with a Tax Deduction, the Company must deliver to the Holder any official receipt or form, if any, provided by or required by the taxing authority to whom the Tax Deduction was paid.].

15

(iii)          In addition, the Company agrees to pay in accordance with applicable law any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or in connection with the execution, delivery, registration or performance of, or otherwise with respect to, the Preferred Shares (“Other Taxes”).  As soon as practicable after making a payment of Other Taxes, the Company must deliver to such Holder any official receipt or form, if any, provided by or required by the taxing authority to whom the Tax Deduction was paid.

(iv)          The obligations of the Company under this Section 2(e) shall survive the Maturity Date of the Preferred Shares and the payment for the Preferred Shares and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(f)            Adjustments to Conversion Price.  Commencing on the Subscription Date, through the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Public Company Date, the Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2(f) (the “Adjustment Period”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained here, after the Adjustment Period, no further adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be made pursuant to this Section 2(f).

(i)            Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock.  If and whenever during the Adjustment Period, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 2(f)(i) is deemed to have issued or sold, any Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company but excluding Excluded Securities) for a consideration per share (the “New Securities Issuance Price”) less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (the foregoing, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such issue or sale, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (x) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and (y) the quotient of (1) the sum of (I) the product of the Applicable Price and the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and (II) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance, divided by (2) the product of (I) the Applicable Price multiplied by (II) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such Dilutive Issuance.  For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 2(f)(i), the following shall be applicable:

(A)          Issuance of Options.  If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then each such share of Common

16

Stock underlying such Option shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share.  For purposes of this Section 2(f)(i)(A), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option.  No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

(B)           Issuance of Convertible Securities.  If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then each such share of Common Stock underlying such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share.  For the purposes of this Section 2(f)(i)(B), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security.  No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(f)(i), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(C)           Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion.  If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or

17

the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold.  For purposes of this Section 2(f)(i)(C), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Subscription Date are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change.  No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.

(D)          Calculation of Consideration Received.  In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, (x) the Options will be deemed to have been issued for the Black Scholes Value of such Options and (y) the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company, less (II) the Black Scholes Value of such Options.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount received by the Company therefor.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices of such marketable securities during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date of receipt of such securities.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be.  The fair value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities will be determined jointly by the

18

Company and the Required Holders.  If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10^th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Required Holders.  The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

(E)           Record Date.  If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (I) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (II) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(ii)           Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.  If the Company at any time after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced.  If the Company at any time after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

(iii)          Other Events.  If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2(f) but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holders; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2(f).

(g)           Notices.

(i)            Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 2(f), the Company will give written notice thereof to each Holder, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment.  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of such adjustment, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2(d)(iii).

19

(ii)           The Company will give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (I) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (II) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (III) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction or Liquidation Event, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such Holder.

(iii)          The Company will also give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which any Fundamental Transaction or Liquidation Event will take place, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such Holder.

(3)           Redemption at Option of Holders.

(a)           Triggering Event.  A “Triggering Event” shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following events:

(i)            at any time on or after the Public Company Date, the suspension from trading or failure of the Common Stock to be listed on an Eligible Market for a period of fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days or for more than an aggregate of twenty (20) Trading Days in any 365-day period;

(ii)           the Company’s (A) failure to cure a Conversion Failure by delivery of the required number of shares of Common Stock within ten (10) Business Days after the applicable Conversion Date or (B) notice, written or oral, to any Holder, including by way of public announcement, or through any of its agents, at any time, of its intention not to comply, as required, with a request for conversion of any Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock that is tendered in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations;

(iii)          at any time following the sixtieth (60^th) consecutive Business Day that a Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation is less than the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder would be entitled to receive upon a conversion of the full Conversion Amount of the Preferred Shares (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in Section 8 or otherwise);

(iv)          the Company’s failure to pay to the Holder any amounts when and as due pursuant to this Certificate of Designations or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) which failure shall have continued uncured for ten (10) or more Business Days;

(v)           the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (i) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (ii) a decree or order adjudging the Company or any Subsidiary as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company

20

or any Subsidiary under any applicable Federal or State law or (iii) appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or any Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days;

(vi)          the commencement by the Company or any Subsidiary of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or any Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company or any Subsidiary in furtherance of any such action; or

(vii)         the Company breaches any material representation, warranty, covenant or other term of any Transaction Document which breach has or is likely to have a cost or adverse impact on the Company or the Holders (including by reduction in the value of the shares of Common Stock deliverable in connection with the Transaction Documents) in excess of $500,000, except in the case of a breach of a covenant which is curable, for a breach that is cured within five (5) Business Days.

(b)           Redemption Option Upon Triggering Event.

(i)            In addition to all other rights of the Holders contained herein, after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, subject to the Limitation on Damages, to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of such Holder’s Preferred Shares at a price per Preferred Share equal to the greater of (i) 110% of the Conversion Amount (or, in the case of the Triggering Events set forth in Sections 3(a)(v) and 3(a)(vi) above, 100% of the Conversion Amount) and (ii) the product of (A) the Conversion Rate in effect at such time as such Holder delivers a Notice of Triggering Event Redemption (as defined below) and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Triggering Event, (the “Triggering Event Redemption Price”).

(ii)           Within one (1) Business Day after the occurrence of a qualifying Triggering Event, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Triggering Event”) to each Holder.  At any

21

time after the earlier of (A) a Holder’s receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event and (B) a Holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event, any Holder of Preferred Shares then outstanding may require the Company to redeem up to all of such Holder’s Preferred Shares by delivering (such date of delivery, the “Triggering Event Notice Date”) written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Triggering Event Redemption”) to the Company, which Notice of Triggering Event Redemption shall indicate the number of Preferred Shares that such Holder is electing to redeem.

(iii)          Upon the Company’s receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event Redemption from any Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day of such receipt notify each other Holder by facsimile of the Company’s receipt of such notice(s).  The Company shall deliver on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the Company’s receipt of the first Notice of Triggering Event Redemption (such date, the “Triggering Event Redemption Date”) the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price to all Holders that deliver a Notice of Triggering Event Redemption prior to the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the Company’s receipt of the first Notice of Triggering Event Redemption.

(c)           Holder Optional Redemption.  If the Equity Conditions are not satisfied as of December 31, 2008 (to the extent applicable as of such date), then on any date thereafter that any Equity Condition is not satisfied the Holder shall have the right (a “Holder Optional Redemption”), in its sole discretion, to require that the Company redeem all or any portion of such Holder’s Preferred Shares by delivering written notice thereof to the Company (a “Holder Optional Redemption Notice” and the date the Holder delivers such notice, the “Holder Optional Redemption Notice Date”).  The Company shall redeem the Conversion Amount within five (5) Business Days of the Holder Optional Redemption Notice Date (the “Holder Optional Redemption Date”) in cash at a price per Preferred Share redeemed equal to 110% of the Conversion Amount (the “Holder Optional Redemption Price”).

(d)           Miscellaneous.  To the extent redemptions required by this Section 3 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments.  If the Company is unable to redeem all of the Preferred Shares submitted for redemption, the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder of such Holder’s Allocation Percentage multiplied by the total number of Preferred Shares to be redeemed from all Holders.  The Holders and Company agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any Preferred Shares under this Section 3, the Holders’ damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future dividend rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holders.  Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 3 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holders’ actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

(e)           Void Redemption.  In the event that the Company does not pay a Redemption Price within the time period set forth in this Certificate of Designations, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid applicable Redemption Price

22

in full, a Holder shall have the option to, in lieu of redemption, require the Company to promptly return to such Holder any or all of the Preferred Shares that were submitted for redemption by such Holder and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Company via facsimile (the “Void Redemption Notice”).  Upon the Company’s receipt of such Void Redemption Notice, (i) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to those Preferred Shares subject to the Void Redemption Notice, (ii) the Company shall immediately return any Preferred Shares subject to the Void Redemption Notice, and (iii) the Conversion Price of such returned Preferred Shares shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Void Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company and (B) the lowest Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on the date on which the applicable Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company and ending on the date on which the Void Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company, as applicable, subject to further adjustment as provided in this Certificate of Designations.

(f)            Disputes.  In the event of a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation of the Redemption Price, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 2(d)(iii) with the term “Redemption Price” being substituted for the term “Conversion Rate”.  A Holder’s delivery of a Void Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not effect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice.  In the event of a redemption pursuant to this Section 3 of less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by a particular Preferred Stock Certificate, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder of such Preferred Shares a Preferred Stock Certificate representing the remaining Preferred Shares which have not been redeemed, if necessary.

(4)           Redemption by the Company.

(a)           Mandatory Redemption At Maturity.

(i)            If any Preferred Share remains outstanding on the Maturity Date, the Company shall redeem all such Preferred Shares on the Maturity Date for an amount in cash per Preferred Share (the “Maturity Date Redemption Price”) equal to the Conversion Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by such Holder.

(ii)           If the Company fails to redeem all of the Preferred Shares outstanding on the Maturity Date by payment of the Maturity Date Redemption Price for each such Preferred Share, and if such failure continues uncured for ten (10) or more Business Days, then in addition to any remedy such Holder may have under any Transaction Document, (1) the applicable Maturity Date Redemption Price payable in respect of such unredeemed Preferred Shares shall bear interest at the rate of two and one-half percent (2.5%) per month, prorated for partial months, until paid in full, and (2) any Holder shall have the option to require the Company to convert any or all of such Holder’s Preferred Shares and for which the Maturity Date Redemption Price has not been paid into (on a per Preferred Share basis) shares of Common Stock equal to the

23

number which results from dividing the Maturity Date Redemption Price by the Default Conversion Price.

(b)           Redemption at Option of Company.  If at any time from and after (i) the two (2) year anniversary of the Public Company Date (the “Company Optional Redemption Eligibility Date”), (A) the median price of the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock over any consecutive thirty (30) Trading Day period following the Company Optional Redemption Eligibility Date (the “Company Optional Redemption Measuring Period”) is greater than three dollars ($3.00) (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar events after the Subscription Date), (B) the median trading volume (as reported on Bloomberg) of the Common Stock on the Principal Market over each such 30 day period is greater than 75,000 shares of Common Stock and (C) there shall not have been any Equity Conditions Failure, or (ii) six (6) month anniversary of a Qualified Public Offering and there shall not have been any Equity Conditions Failure, the Company shall have the right at any time to redeem any or all of the Preferred Shares (a “Company Optional Redemption”) pursuant to the terms hereof.  The Preferred Shares shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to 100% of the Conversion Amount for the Preferred Shares being redeemed (the “Company Optional Redemption Price”).  The Company may exercise its redemption right under this Section 4(b) by delivering a written notice thereof by confirmed facsimile and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the holders of the Notes (the “Company Optional Redemption Notice” and the date such notice is delivered to all the holders is referred to as the “Company Optional Redemption Notice Date”) within ten (10) Trading Days following the end of the applicable Company Optional Redemption Measuring Period.  A Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable.  Each Company Optional Redemption Notice shall state the date on which the Company Optional Redemption shall occur (the “Company Optional Redemption Date”) which date shall be the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(b), until the applicable Optional Redemption Price is paid, in full, the number of Preferred Shares subject to redemption hereunder may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holders into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2(b).

(c)           Other than as specifically permitted by this Certificate of Designations, the Company may not redeem any of the outstanding Preferred Shares and any unpaid Dividends thereon.

(5)           Other Rights of Holders.

(a)           Assumption.  The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i)  the Successor Entity assumes in writingall of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including

24

agreements to deliver to each Holder of Preferred Shares in exchange for such Preferred Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Certificate of Designations including, without limitation, having a stated value and dividend rate equal to the stated value and dividend rate of the Preferred Shares held by such Holder and having similar ranking to the Preferred Shares, and satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market.  Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designations referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.  Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations.  The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right immediately prior to the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, to redeem all of the then outstanding Preferred Shares at a price per Preferred Share equal to 115% of the Conversion Amount (the “Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price”).  Such option shall be exercisable by the Company by providing written notice (the “Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice”), to all of the Holders at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the closing of a Fundamental Transaction.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5(a), until the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price is paid in full, the Preferred Shares subject to redemption hereunder may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holders into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2(b).

(b)           Purchase Rights.  If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holders will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Preferred Shares (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred Shares) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

25

(6)           Reservation of Shares.

(a)           The Company shall have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock for each Preferred Share equal to 130% of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock necessary to effect the conversion at the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount of each such Preferred Share issued as of the Initial Issuance Date and, following the Additional Issuance Date, of each Preferred Share issued as of the Additional Issuance Date, (ii) the number of Dividend Shares issuable hereunder, determined as if issued as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination (or, until the Common Stock is traded on an Eligible Market or an over-the-counter market, as if the Dividend Conversion Price is equal to the Initial Conversion Price) and assuming the Preferred Shares remain outstanding until the Maturity Date, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock necessary to effect the exercise of all of the Warrants.  So long as any of the Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversions of the Preferred Shares, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Preferred Shares then outstanding; provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved be less than the number of shares required to be reserved by reason of the foregoing sentence (without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the “Required Reserve Amount”).  The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Preferred Shares and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of Preferred Shares held by each Holder at the time of issuance of the Preferred Shares or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized Share Allocation”).  In the event a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Preferred Shares, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the number of reserved shares of Common Stock reserved for such transferor.  Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Preferred Shares (other than pursuant to a transfer of Preferred Shares in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Preferred Shares, pro rata based on the number of Preferred Shares then held by such Holders.

(b)           Insufficient Authorized Shares.  If at any time while any of the Preferred Shares remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Shares at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Preferred Shares then outstanding.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.  In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’

26

approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.

(7)           Voting Rights.  Subject to Section 8, each Holder shall be entitled to the whole number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Holder’s Preferred Shares would be convertible on the record date for the vote or consent of stockholders, and shall otherwise have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock.  Each Holder shall be entitled to receive the same prior notice of any stockholders’ meeting as is provided to the holders of Common Stock in accordance with the bylaws of the Company, as well as prior notice of all stockholder actions to be taken by legally available means in lieu of a meeting, and shall vote as a class with the holders of Common Stock as if they were a single class of securities upon any matter submitted to a vote of stockholders, except those matters required by law or by the terms hereof to be submitted to a class vote of the Holders of Preferred Shares, in which case the Holders of Preferred Shares only shall vote as a separate class.

(8)           Limitation on Beneficial Ownership.  The Company shall not effect any conversion of Preferred Shares, and no Holder shall have the right to convert any Preferred Shares, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the beneficial owner of such shares (together with such Person’s affiliates) would have acquired, through conversion of Preferred Shares or otherwise, beneficial ownership of a number of shares of Common Stock that exceeds 9.99% (“Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.  The Company shall not give effect to any voting rights of the Preferred Shares, and any Holder shall not have the right to exercise voting rights with respect to any Preferred Shares pursuant hereto, to the extent that giving effect to such voting rights would result in such Holder (together with its affiliates) being deemed to beneficially own in excess of the Maximum Percentage of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, assuming such exercise as being equivalent to conversion.   For purposes of the foregoing, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Person and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted Preferred Shares beneficially owned by such Person or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any notes or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section beneficially owned by such Person or any of its affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 8, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.  For purposes of this Section 8, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of any Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day following the receipt of such notice, confirm orally and in writing to any such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In

27

any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Preferred Shares, by such Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  By written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase will apply only to the Holder providing such written notice and not to any other Holder.

	(9)	Liquidation, Dissolution, Winding-Up.
		Liquidation. In the event of a Liquidation Event (such date, a “Liquidation Date”), the Holders shall be
entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its stockholders (the “Liquidation Funds”), before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any Common Stock or other Capital Stock of the Company (other than the Preferred Shares) in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments on the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, an amount per Preferred Share equal to 110% of the Conversion Amount (the “Preferred Share Distribution”); provided that, if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the Holders and holders of shares of other classes or series of preferred stock of the Company that are of equal rank with the Preferred Shares as to payments of Liquidation Funds (the “Pari Passu Shares”), then each Holder and each holder of Pari Passu Shares shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder as a liquidation preference, in accordance with their respective Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights, as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all holders of Preferred Shares and Pari Passu Shares. In lieu of the Preferred Share Distribution, each Holder shall be entitled to participate, at its option and in its sole discretion, on a pari passu basis with the holders of Common Stock and treating for the purpose thereof all of the Preferred Shares as having been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 2, in the distribution of any remaining assets of the Company to the holders of the outstanding Common Stock. To the extent necessary, the Company shall cause such actions to be taken by any of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this Section. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Company to, the holders of shares of other classes or series of preferred stock of the Company junior in rank to the Preferred Shares in connection with a Liquidation Event as to which this Section applies. The purchase or redemption by the Company of stock of any class, in any manner permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be regarded as a Liquidation Event.

(10)         Ranking.  All shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (other than the Preferred Shares) shall be of junior rank to all Preferred Shares with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company.  The rights of the shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (other than the Preferred Shares) shall be subject to the preferences and relative rights of the Preferred Shares.  For so long as shares of Preferred Shares

28

having a Stated Value of not less than $5,000,000 shall be outstanding, without the prior express written consent of the Required Holders, the Company shall not hereafter authorize or issue additional or other Capital Stock that is of senior or pari-passu rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments upon a Liquidation Event.  The Company shall be permitted to issue preferred stock that is junior in rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends and other distributions, amortization and redemption payments and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company; provided,  that the maturity date (or any other date requiring redemption or repayment of such preferred stock) of any such junior preferred stock is not on or before the ninety-first (91st) day following the Maturity Date.  In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the Preferred Shares shall maintain their relative powers, designations and preferences provided for herein (except that the Preferred Shares may not be pari passu with, or junior to, any Capital Stock of the successor entity) and no merger shall result inconsistent therewith.

(11)         Participation.  Subject to the rights of the holders, if any, of the Pari Passu Shares, the Holders shall, as holders of Preferred Shares, be entitled to such dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if such Holders had converted the Preferred Shares into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere) and had held such shares of Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions.  Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Stock.  Following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event and the payment in full to a Holder of its applicable liquidation preference, such Holder shall cease to have any rights hereunder to participate in any future dividends or distributions made to the holders of Common Stock.

(12)         Consent of Required Holders.  In addition to any other rights provided by law, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by another provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders, voting together as a single class, shall be required before the Company may: (a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any articles of amendment, certificate of designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of any series of preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Preferred Shares, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise; (b) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of shares of Preferred Shares; (c) create or authorize (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of shares that has a preference over or is on a parity with the Preferred Shares with respect to dividends or the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; (d) purchase, repurchase or redeem any shares of Common Stock (other than pursuant to equity incentive agreements with employees giving the Company the right to repurchase shares upon the termination of services at cost); (e) pay dividends or make any other distribution on the Common Stock or any other Capital Stock of the Company; or (f) whether or not prohibited by the terms of the Preferred Shares, circumvent a right of the Preferred Shares.

29

(13)         Lost or Stolen Certificates.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Preferred Stock Certificates representing the Preferred Shares, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver new preferred stock certificate(s) of like tenor and date; provided, however, the Company shall not be obligated to re-issue preferred stock certificates if the Holder contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such Preferred Shares into Common Stock.

(14)         Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief.  The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designations, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).  No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designations.  The Company covenants to each Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein.  Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof).  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.  The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holders shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

(15)         Construction.  This Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all Buyers (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof.

(16)         Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver.  No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

(17)         Notice.  Whenever notice or other communication is required to be given under this Certificate of Designations, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement (provided that if the Preferred Shares are not held by a Buyer then substituting the words “holder of Securities” for the word “Buyer”).

(18)         Transfer of Preferred Shares.  A Holder may assign some or all of the Preferred Shares and the accompanying rights hereunder held by such Holder without the consent of the Company; provided that such assignment is in compliance with applicable securities laws.

30

(19)         Preferred Share Register.  The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holders), a register for the Preferred Shares, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the persons in whose name the Preferred Shares have been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee.  The Company may treat the person in whose name any Preferred Share is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly made transfers.

(20)         Stockholder Matters.  Any stockholder action, approval or consent required, desired or otherwise sought by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the DGCL, this Certificate of Designations or otherwise with respect to the issuance of the Preferred Shares or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof or the issuance of any Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof may be effected by written consent of the Company’s stockholders or at a duly called meeting of the Company’s stockholders, all in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Principal Market and the DGCL.  This provision is intended to comply with the applicable sections of the DGCL permitting stockholder action, approval and consent affected by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

(21)         Disclosure. Upon receipt or delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Designations, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day after any such receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise.  In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to the Holders contemporaneously with delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such indication, the Holders shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries.
