     C. Series A Preferred Stock.
     A series of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, designated as “Series A Preferred Stock,” is hereby created, with the following powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights:
     1. Number of Shares. The series of Preferred Stock designated and known as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” shall consist of Two Million Two Hundred and Twenty Five Thousand (2,225,000).
     2. Stated Value. The stated value of each issued share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be $1.00 (the “STATED VALUE”), as the same may be equitably adjusted whenever there may occur a stock dividend, stock split, combination, reclassification or similar event affecting the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
     3. Dividends.
          (a) Dividends on Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. From and including the Date of Issuance (as defined below) of each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the earliest of [A] the payment of the Individual Series A Liquidation Preference Payment (as defined in Section 5(a) below) on each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, [B] the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or [C] the date two (2) years from the Date of Issuance of the share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend on any other shares of capital stock of the Corporation, a dividend for each such share at a rate per annum equal to eight percent (8%) of the Stated Value (as such term is defined in Section 2 above) thereof, payable semi-annually by one of the following methods, as selected by the Corporation: [Y] in cash, to the extent funds are legally available therefor in accordance with applicable corporate law; or [Z] in-kind, with shares of Common Stock registered on Form SB-2 (or an alternative available form if the reporting company is not eligible to file a Form SB-2), at a ten percent (10%) discount to the “MARKET PRICE” (as defined in Section 10 below). February 21, 2007, the date on which the Corporation’s predecessor, initially issued its first share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, shall be deemed the “DATE OF ISSUANCE,” regardless of the number of times transfer of such share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such share.
          (b) Priority of Payment. In the event that full dividends are not paid under Section 3(a) above to the holders of all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so entitled to such payment and funds available for payment of dividends shall be insufficient to permit payment in full to such holders, the entire amount available for payment of dividends shall be distributed ratably among all holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amount to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled and any amounts that remain unpaid shall accrue and become payable once sufficient funds are available to pay such dividends.

     4. Voting.
          (a) Number of Votes. On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled, subject to the limitation set forth in Section 4(b) below, to cast the number of votes for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in an amount equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. Except as provided by law or by the provisions of Sections 4(c) and (d) below, holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock, and with the holders of any other series of Preferred Stock the terms of which so provide, together as a single class.
          (b) Limitation on Number of Votes. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the voting rights of each holder of outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be limited in accordance with Section 7 hereof, so that each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote only that number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date, up to a maximum of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation.
          (c) Senior Securities or Financial Instruments. At any time when a minimum $1,750,000 of the Stated Value of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares of the Corporation is required by law or by the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION”), and in addition to any other vote required by law or the Articles of Incorporation, without the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of fifty percent (50%) of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) as a separate class from the Common Stock, the Corporation shall not, either directly or by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock (as defined in Section 6(d) below) unless the same rank junior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation and with respect to the payment of dividends and redemption rights, if applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4(c) shall not apply to a Qualified Financing or the Merger (as such terms are defined in Section 10 below)
          (d) Other Limitations on Corporate Action. At any time when a minimum of $1,750,000 of the Stated Value of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares of the Corporation is required by law, the Articles of Incorporation, or by these Articles of Incorporation, and in addition to any other vote required by law or the Articles of Incorporation, without the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of no-less than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Stated Value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock consenting or voting (as the case may be) as a separate class from the Common Stock, the Corporation shall not, either directly or by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise:

-4-


 

               (i) until the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, purchase or redeem or pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution on, any shares of stock other than the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as expressly authorized herein, or permit any Subsidiary to take any such action, except for (A) securities repurchased from former employees, officers, directors, consultants, or other persons who performed services for the Corporation or any subsidiary in connection with the cessation of such employment or service; or (B) securities repurchased upon the exercise of the Corporation’s right of first refusal to purchase such securities, each as approved by the Board;
               (ii) after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, purchase or redeem or pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution on, any shares of stock other than the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as expressly authorized herein, or permit any Subsidiary to take any such action, so long as an accrued dividend under Section 3 is unpaid, except for (A) securities repurchased from former employees, officers, directors, consultants, or other persons who performed services for the Corporation or any Subsidiary in connection with the cessation of such employment or service; or (B) securities repurchased upon the exercise of the Corporation’s right of first refusal to purchase such securities, each as approved by the Board;
               (iii) alter or change the voting or other powers, preferences, or other rights, privileges, or restrictions of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock contained herein (by merger, consolidation, or otherwise); or
               (iv) make, or permit any Subsidiary to make, any loan or advance to any person, including, without limitation, any employee or director of the Corporation, or incur any Indebtedness, except the Permitted Debt.
     5. Liquidation, Dissolution, or Winding-Up.
          (a) Payments to Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be paid, before any payment shall be paid to the holders of Common Stock, or any other stock ranking on liquidation junior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “JUNIOR STOCK”), an amount for each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by such holder equal to the sum of (1) the Stated Value thereof and (2) an amount equal to dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, computed to the date payment thereof is made available (such applicable amount payable with respect to a share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock sometimes being referred to as the “INDIVIDUAL SERIES A PREFERRED LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE PAYMENT” and with respect to all shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in the aggregate sometimes being referred to as the “AGGREGATE SERIES A LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE PAYMENT”). If, upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the assets to be distributed among the holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment to the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of an aggregate amount equal to the Aggregate Series A Liquidation Preference Payment, then the entire assets of the Corporation to be so distributed shall be distributed ratably among the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (based on the Individual Series A Preferred Liquidation Preference Payments due to the respective holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock).

-5-


 

          (b) Payments to Holders of Junior Stock. After the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and any other class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking on liquidation senior to or on a parity with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Junior Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders as otherwise set forth in the Articles of Incorporation.
     6. Optional Conversion. The holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares shall have the conversion rights as follows (the “CONVERSION RIGHTS”):
          (a) Right to Convert. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the “CONVERSION DATE” (as defined in Section 10 below), and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (1) the sum of (i) the Stated Value per share and (ii) all dividends accrued and unpaid on each such share to the date such share is converted, whether or not declared, and all other dividends declared and unpaid on each such share through the date of actual conversion, by (2) the Series A Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. The “SERIES A CONVERSION PRICE” shall be $0.0571428. The Series A Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below.
          (b) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board, or round-up to the next whole number of shares, at the Corporation’s option. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.
          (c) Mechanics of Conversion.
               (i) For a holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, that holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (or, if the registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen, or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that the holder elects to convert all or any number of the shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

-6-


 

represented by such certificate or certificates and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent. The notice shall state the holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which the holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her, or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent of such certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) and notice (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) shall be the time of conversion (the “CONVERSION TIME”), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares represented by such certificate shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of that date. The Corporation shall, as soon as commercially practicable after the Conversion Time, issue and deliver at such office to the holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or to his, her, or its nominee(s), a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder(s) shall be entitled, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, if applicable.
               (ii) The Corporation shall at all times while the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; and if, at any time, the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then-outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Articles of Incorporation
               (iii) All shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, to vote, and to receive payment of any dividends accrued or declared but unpaid thereon, shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor. Any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and shall not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation (without the need for stockholder action) may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock accordingly.
               (iv) Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price shall be made for any accrued or declared but unpaid dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion.
               (v) The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid

               (ii) No Adjustment of Series A Conversion Price. No adjustment in the Series A Conversion Price shall be made as the result of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock if the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 6(d)(v) below) for such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation is equal to or greater than the applicable Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance or deemed issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.
          (iii) Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock
                    (A) If the Corporation, at any time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date, shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities that, upon exercise, conversion, or exchange thereof, would entitle the holder thereof to receive Exempted Securities) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility, or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.
                    (B) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 6(d)(iv) below, are revised (either automatically pursuant to the provisions contained therein or as a result of an amendment to such terms) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion, or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion, or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Series A Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Series A Conversion Price as would have been obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the

-9-


 

original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment pursuant to this clause (B) shall have the effect of increasing the Series A Conversion Price to an amount that exceeds the lower of (i) the Series A Conversion Price on the original adjustment date, or (ii) the Series A Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.
                    (C) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible Securities that, upon exercise, conversion, or exchange thereof, would entitle the holder thereof to receive Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 6(d)(iv) below (either because the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 6(d)(v) below) of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Series A Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the Series A Original Issue Date), are revised after the Series A Original Issue Date (either automatically pursuant to the provisions contained therein or as a result of an amendment to such terms) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion, or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion, or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Section 6(d)(iii)(A) above) shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.
                    (D) Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security that resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 6(d)(iv) below, the Series A Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Series A Conversion Price as would have been obtained had such Option or Convertible Security never been issued.
               (iv) Adjustment of Series A Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. If the Corporation shall at any time after the Series A Original Issue Date issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 6(d)(iii) above), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue, then the Series A Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price equal to the consideration received per share in connection with the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.

-10-


 

               (v) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 6(d), the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:
                    (A) Cash and Property: Such consideration shall:
                         (I) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest;
                         (II) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board; and
                         (III) if Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration that covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (I) and (II) above, as determined in good faith by the Board.
                    (B) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 6(d)(iii) above, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing
                         (I) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by
                         (II) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
                    (vi) Multiple Closing Dates. If the Corporation shall issue on more than one date Additional Shares of Common Stock that are a part of one transaction or a series of related transactions and that would result in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 6(d)(iv) above, then, upon the final such issuance, the Series A Conversion Price shall be readjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on the date of the first such issuance (and without giving additional effect to any adjustments as a result of any subsequent issuances within such period).
          (e) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date, effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock without a comparable subdivision of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or combine the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock without a comparable combination of the Common Stock, the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision or combination shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series

-11-


 

shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, as applicable. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock without a comparable combination of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock without a comparable subdivision of the Common Stock, the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination or subdivision shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, as applicable. Any adjustment under this subsection shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
          (f) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date, make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then, and in each such event, the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Series A Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Series A Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Series A Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and provided further, however, that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock simultaneously receive (i) a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event; or (ii) a dividend or other distribution of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that are convertible, as of the date of such event, into such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to the number of additional shares of Common Stock being issued with respect to each share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution.
          (g) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date, make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property (other than cash), then, and in each such event, the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of such capital stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

          (h) Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation (other than the Merger) in which the Common Stock (but not the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash, or other property (other than a transaction covered by Sections 6(e), (f), or (g) above), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation, or merger, each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation, or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 6 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 5 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Series A Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
          (f) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 6, the Corporation, at its expense, shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Series A Conversion Price then in effect, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the type and amount, if any, of other securities, cash, or property that then would be received upon the conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
          (g) Notice of Record Date. In the event:
               (i) the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right; or

-13-


 

               (ii) of any capital reorganization of the Corporation or any reclassification of the Common Stock; or
               (iii) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up of the Corporation,
then, and in each such case, the Corporation will send or cause to be sent to the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock a notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, or right; or (B) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. Such notice shall be sent at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice. Any notice required by the provisions hereof to be given to a holder of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be deemed sent to such holder if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to such holder at his, her, or its address appearing on the books of the Corporation.
          7. Conversion Cap. In no event shall any holder be entitled to convert any Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the extent that, after such conversion, the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by any 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 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or any unexercised right held by any holder subject to a similar limitation), would result in beneficial ownership by any holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (after taking into account the shares to be issued to the holder upon such conversion). For purposes of this Section 7, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Nothing herein shall preclude the holder from disposing of a sufficient number of other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder so as to thereafter permit the continued conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
          8. Optional Redemption. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8, the Corporation may, at any time after the first anniversary of the Series A Original Issue Date, deliver a notice to the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (an “OPTIONAL REDEMPTION NOTICE” and the date such notice is deemed delivered hereunder, the “OPTIONAL REDEMPTION NOTICE DATE”) of its election to redeem all (and not less than all) of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock (an “OPTIONAL REDEMPTION”) for an amount, in cash, equal to the Optional Redemption Amount (as defined below). “OPTIONAL

-14-


 

REDEMPTION AMOUNT” shall mean the sum of (i) 110% of the Stated Value of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, (ii) accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and (iii) all liquidated damages and other amounts due, if any, in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms hereof. The closing of the Optional Redemption shall take place within thirty (30) days of the Optional Redemption Notice Date (the “OPTIONAL REDEMPTION DATE”) at the office of the Corporation. The Optional Redemption Amount is due in full on the Optional Redemption Date. If any portion of the cash payment for an Optional Redemption shall not be paid by the Corporation by the respective due date, interest shall accrue thereon at the rate of 15% per annum (or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less) until the payment of the Optional Redemption Amount, plus all amounts owing thereon is paid in full. In addition, if any portion of the Optional Redemption Amount remains unpaid after such date, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock subject to such Optional Redemption may elect, by written notice to the Corporation given at any time thereafter, to invalidate ab initio such redemption, notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock may elect to convert their shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6 at any time prior to the Optional Redemption Date by delivery of a notice of conversion (as contemplated by Section 6(c)) to the Corporation.
