The number of votes with respect to Series a Preferred Stock to which a holder of the Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to vote is equal to the Total Series A Vote multiplied by (i) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held of record by such holder divided by (ii) the total number of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the time of such vote.  Except as required under applicable law or the Certificate of Formation, the total votes of a majority of the shares of all classes of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on matters submitted for approval to the stockholders of the Corporation represented, in person or by proxy, at a meeting of shareholders, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the approval of any matter submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation including, but not limited to, the election of directors.

Right to Convert.  Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into one share of Common Stock for each 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held of record by the holder thereof, rounded to the nearest whole share.

(b)

Mandatory Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock.  Upon the death of the Original Holder or the transfer of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to any person other than a Permitted Transferee, then, without further act on the part of any person, each share of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding (in the case of the Original Holder's death) or each share of Series A Preferred Stock transferred to a person other than a Permitted Transferee (in the case of such a transfer) shall be converted to Common Stock as defined in Section 5(a) hereof.  Upon any such conversion, stock certificates formerly representing outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall thereupon and thereafter be deemed to represent a like number of shares of Common Stock, and any outstanding right to receive Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically become the right to receive a like number of shares of Common Stock.

(c)

Mechanics of Conversion.  Before any holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefore, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for such stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that the holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued.  The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which he shall be entitled as aforesaid.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of surrender of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

(d)

No Impairment.  The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 5 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock against impairment.

6.  Restrictions and Limitations.  Transfer of Series A Preferred Stock.  No person holding shares of Series A Preferred Stock may transfer, and the Corporation shall not register the transfer of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, whether by sale, assignment, exchange, gift, bequest, appointment or otherwise, except to a "Permitted Transferee."  The term "Permitted Transferee" shall mean any trust that is established by the holder to whom the shares were initially issued (the “Original Holder”) for estate planning purposes that provides for distribution to the Original Holder's beneficiaries of shares of Series A Preferred Stock upon the Original Holder’s death, provided that the Original Holder retains voting control with respect to such shares of Series A Preferred Stock until his death. Any change in the Original Holder’s voting control or voting control with respect to such Original Holder regarding such shares of Series A Preferred Stock so transferred shall automatically convert the Series A Preferred Stock to Common Stock as set forth in Section 5(a) hereof.

(a)

If any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are acquired by any person who is not a Permitted Transferee, all shares of Series A Preferred Stock then held by such person shall be deemed, without further act on the part of any person, to be converted into shares of Common Stock, and stock certificates formerly representing such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall thereupon and thereafter be deemed to represent the like number of shares of Common Stock.

(b)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Original Holder may pledge his shares of Series A Preferred Stock to a pledgee pursuant to a bona fide pledge of such shares as collateral security for indebtedness due to the pledgee; provided, however, that (i) the Original Holder at all times retains voting control with respect to such pledged shares until an event of foreclosure or similar action, and (ii) such shares shall not be transferred to or registered in the name of any such pledgee and shall remain subject to the provisions of this Section. In the event of foreclosure or other similar action by the pledgee, such pledged shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed, without further act on the part of any person, to be converted into shares of Common Stock and transferred to the pledgee.

(c)

Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be registered in the names of the beneficial owners thereof and not in "street" or "nominee" name.  For this purpose, a "beneficial owner" of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall mean the Original Holder or a Permitted Transferee.  The Corporation shall note or cause to be noted on the certificates for shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the existence of the restrictions on transfer and registration of  transfer imposed by this Section 6.

7.  No Reissuance of Series A Preferred Stock.  No share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of redemption, purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be cancelled, retired and eliminated from the shares which the Corporation shall be authorized to issue.

8.  Dividends.  Dividends may not be paid on Series A Preferred Stock.

9.  Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.  The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out if its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A 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 Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation
