NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS OF ACTION APPROVED BY CONSENTING STOCKHOLDERS

The following action was by written consent of the Board of Directors and the consenting stockholders:
 

ACTION 1
APPROVAL OF THE RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

Under our Certificate of Incorporation, as presently in effect, we have 75,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, par value $.00002, of which 36,181,969 shares are issued and outstanding as of the record date, and no preferred stock authorized.

On November 13, 2007, the Our Board of Directors has unanimously adopted and the consenting stockholders have approved a restated certificate of incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”) to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock from 75,000,000 to 210,000,000 shares, of which (i) 150,000,000 shares shall be designated as common stock with a par value of $.001 per share, and (ii) 60,000,000 shares shall be designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with a par value of $.001 per share. A Certificate of Designation was also adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the consenting stockholders in connection therewith.

Following the filing of the Restated Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the number of shares of the Company’s capital stock will be as follows:

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation

On November 13, 2007 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with three accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which we sold $5,525,000 of 3% convertible subordinated notes (the “Notes”), which will be automatically converted into an aggregate of 14,787,135 shares of series A convertible preferred stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). In turn, each share of Series A Preferred Stock is initially convertible into one (1) share of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share, subject to adjustment, and (ii) common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 11,176,504 shares of common stock at $0.58 per share, 5,588,252 shares of common stock at $0.83 per share, and 2,065,000 shares at $0.92 per share.
 
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, our board of directors and the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock have approved the Restated Certificate. We are required, within thirty days of the Closing Date, to file an information statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and to mail the information statement to stockholders within five business days after the SEC has completed its review of the information statement, or, if the SEC does not review the information statement, within fifteen business days after the information statement is filed with the SEC. We will file the Restated Certificate promptly, but not later than three business days after the information statement is mailed to stockholders.

The following discussion is a summary of the key changes effected by the Restated Certificate, but this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Restated Certificate, a form of which is included as Exhibit A to this information statement.
 
The Restated Certificate makes the following changes in our certificate of incorporation:
 
1. The Restated Certificate increases our authorized capital stock. Our certificate of incorporation presently provides for an authorized capital stock of 75,000,000 shares, all of which are shares of common stock, par value $.00002 per share. The Restated Certificate provides for an authorized capital stock of 210,000,000 shares, of which 150,000,000 shares are shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, and 60,000,000 shares are shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share. Our board of directors has broad rights to set the rights, preferences, privileges, limitation and restrictions for one or more series of preferred stock, including the following:

(i) the designation of such series;
 
(ii) the dividend rate of such series, the conditions and dates upon which such dividends shall be payable, the preference or relation which such dividends shall bear to the dividends payable on any other class or classes or of any other series of capital stock, whether such dividends shall be cumulative or noncumulative, and whether such dividends may be paid in shares of any class or series of capital stock or other securities of the Corporation;
 
(iii) whether the shares of such series shall be subject to redemption by the Corporation, and, if made subject to such redemption, the times, prices and other terms and conditions of such redemption;
 
(iv) the terms and amount of any sinking fund provided for the purchase or redemption of the shares of such series;
 
(v) whether or not the shares of such series shall be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any other class or classes or series of capital stock or other securities of the Corporation, and, if provision be made for conversion or exchange, the times, prices, rates, adjustment and other terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange;
 
(vi) the extent, if any, to which the holders of the shares of such series shall be entitled to vote, as a class or otherwise, with respect to the election of the directors or otherwise, and the number of votes to which the holder of each share of such series shall be entitled
 
(vii) the restrictions, if any, on the issue or reissue of any additional shares or series of Preferred Stock; and
 
(viii) the rights of the holders of the shares of such series upon the dissolution of, or upon the distribution of assets of, the Corporation.
 
2. The Restated Certificate adds the following provision to our present certificate of incorporation:
 
The terms and conditions of any rights, options and warrants approved by the Board of Directors may provide that any or all of such terms and conditions may not be waived or amended or may be waived or amended only with the consent of the holders of a designated percentage of a designated class or classes of capital stock of the Corporation (or a designated group or groups of holders within such class or classes, including but not limited to disinterested holders), and the applicable terms and conditions of any such rights, options or warrants so conditioned may not be waived or amended or may not be waived or amended absent such consent.
 
The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
 
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we created a series of preferred stock, designated as the series A convertible preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock provides that each share of Series A Preferred Stock is initially convertible into 1 share of common stock, subject to adjustment. No dividends are payable with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. While the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, we may not pay dividends on or redeem shares of common stock.
 
5

 
Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a preference of $.374 per share before any distributions or payments may be made with respect to the common stock or any other class or series of capital stock which is junior to the Series A Preferred Stock upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.
 
The foregoing discussion is a summary of the key rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Designation, a copy of which is included as Exhibit A to the Restated Amendment filed with this information statement.
 
Reason for Amendment

The Restated Certificate and the Certificate of Designation is necessary for the Company to comply with its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and to ensure that the Company will have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of capital stock for issuance in connection therewith. The Company currently has approximately 38,818,031 authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. If we are authorized to issue 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock, then we will be able to issue approximately an additional 113,818,031 shares of Common Stock. Prior to the amendment effected by the Restated Certificate, the Company had no preferred stock authorized.

The unissued shares of capital stock will be available for issuance from time to time as may be deemed advisable or required for various purposes, including the issuance of shares in connection with additional financing or acquisition transactions, the issuance of shares in connection with stock splits or stock dividends and the issuance or reservation of capital stock for equity awards to employees, officers, and directors.

The Restated Certificate and the Certificate of Designation were not adopted as a result of management’s knowledge of any specific effort to accumulate our securities or to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation in opposition to management or otherwise. As of the date of this Information Statement, our charter and bylaws contain no provisions having an anti-takeover effect, the adoption of the Authorized Shares Amendment is not part of a plan by management to adopt a series of such amendments, and management does not intend to propose other anti-takeover measures.

Effect of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation

The Restated Certificate will permit our Board of Directors to authorize the issuance of shares without the necessity and related costs and delays of either calling a special stockholders’ meeting or waiting for the regularly scheduled annual meeting of stockholders in order to increase the authorized capital.

Generally, the availability of additional authorized and unissued shares of common and preferred stock could make attempts to gain control of the Company or the Board of Directors more difficult, costly or time consuming and the availability of additional authorized and unissued shares might make it more difficult to remove management. For example, although the Board of Directors currently has no intention of doing so, shares of common stock or preferred stock could be issued by the Board to dilute the percentage of common stock owned by a significant stockholder and increase the cost of, or the number of, voting shares necessary to acquire control of the Board of the Directors or to meet the voting requirements imposed by Delaware law with respect to a merger or other business combination involving the Company.

Limitations on the Adoption of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation

Our stock is quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board. The over-the-counter bulletin board does not reserve the right to refuse to list or to de-list any stock which has unusual voting provisions that nullify or restrict voting. Therefore, although we currently have no plans to do so, our Board of Directors could authorize one or more series of common stock or preferred stock with unusual, or even without, voting privileges.

Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits the amendment of a corporation’s certificate of incorporation to allow for an increase or decrease of the aggregate number of authorized shares of a class, or a change of the par value, so long as the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the effected class approve the action. The consenting stockholders who consented to the Restated Certificate and the Certificate of Designation hold in the aggregate a majority of the outstanding common stock entitled to vote thereon.

Effective Date

The Restated Certificate and the Certificate of Designation will become effective upon their filing with the Delaware Secretary of State. Under federal securities laws, we cannot file the Restated Certificate and the Certificate of Designation until at least 20 days after mailing this information statement.

FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
 
On November 13, 2007, concurrently with our sales of the Notes to the Investors, we acquired Fulland Limited (“Fulland”), a Cayman Islands limited liability company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Green Power Environment Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“Green Power”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Peoples’ Republic of China, in a transaction which was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Through a series of contractual relationship, Green Power operates the businesses of Huayang Dye Machine Co., Ltd. and Huayang Electricity Power Equipment Co., Ltd., both of which are Chinese limited liability companies (with Fulland and Green Power collectively referred to as the “Green Power Group”). From and after our acquisition of Fulland, our primary operations consist of the business and operations of the Green Power Group. Accordingly, under generally accepted accounting principles, the results of operations of the Green Power Group are shown as our historical financial statements. Enclosed with this information statement is a copy of our current report on Form 8-K, which was filed with the SEC on November 13, 2007.

Section 6. Conversion.
 
(a) Conversions at Option of Holder. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be initially convertible (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(c)), into such number of shares of Common Stock based on the Conversion Ratio at the option of the Holders, at any time and from time to time from and after the Original Issue Date; provided, however, that until the Restated Certificate, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into Common Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in the issuance of more than the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Company with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”) as fully and originally executed by the Holder, together with the delivery by the Holder to the Company of the stock certificate(s) representing the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted, with such stock certificates being duly endorsed in full for transfer to the Company or with an applicable stock power duly executed by the Holder in the manner and form as deemed reasonable by the transfer agent of the Common Stock. Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue, the stock certificate number and the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented thereby which are accompanying the Notice of Conversion, and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the Holder delivers such Notice of Conversion and the applicable stock certificates to the Company by overnight delivery service (the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the Trading Day immediately following the date that such Notice of Conversion and applicable stock certificates are received by the Company. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and may not be reissued. If the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 7 or as otherwise provided in this Statement of Designations, the Conversion Ratio shall likewise be adjusted and the new Conversion Ratio shall determined by multiplying the Conversion Ratio in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Price in effect before the adjustment and the denominator of which is the new Conversion Price. Thereafter, subject to any further adjustments in the Conversion Price, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be initially convertible into Common Stock based on the new Conversion Ratio.
 
(b)  Automatic Conversion Upon Change of Control. Subject to Section 5, all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into the Conversion Shares upon the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the date fixed for consummation of any transaction resulting in a Change of Control of the Company (an “Automatic Conversion Event”). A “Change in Control” means a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another company or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another company or entity not controlled by the then existing stockholders of the Company in a transaction or series of transactions. The Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares unless certificates evidencing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted are either delivered to the Company or its transfer agent or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent in writing that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. Upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6(b), the Company shall promptly send written notice thereof, by hand delivery or by overnight delivery, to the holders of record of all of the Series A Preferred Stock at their addresses then shown on the records of the Company, which notice shall state that certificates evidencing shares of Series A Preferred Stock must be surrendered at the office of the Company (or of its transfer agent for the Common Stock, if applicable).
 
(c)  Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Except as provided in Section 6(b) of this Statement of Designations, which shall apply as stated therein if an Automatic Conversion Event shall occur, the right of the Holder to convert the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to the 4.9% Limitation, with the result that Company shall not effect any conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates), as set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.  For the purposes of this Agreement beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. For purposes of this Section 6(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in the most recent of the following: (A) the Company’s most recent quarterly reports (Form 10-Q or Form 10-QSB), Annual Reports (Form 10-K or Form 10-KSB), or definitive proxy statement or information statement as filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (C) any other written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In 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 Series A Preferred Stock, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was publicly reported by the Company. The 4.9% Limitation may be not be waived or amended.

(d)  Mechanics of Conversion
 
(i)  Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Except as otherwise set forth herein, not later than three Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates which, after the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends (if the Company has elected or is required to pay accrued dividends in cash). After the Effective Date, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing Company performing similar functions if the Company’s transfer agent has the ability to deliver shares of Common Stock in such manner. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Company shall immediately return the certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock tendered for conversion.
 
(ii)  Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of its Series A Preferred Stock, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with the Holder of has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason (other than the inability of the Company to issue shares of Common Stock as a result of the limitation set forth in Section 6(c) hereof) unless an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Series A Preferred Stock shall have been sought and obtained and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the Conversion Value of Series A Preferred Stock which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of an injunction precluding the same, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) within two Trading Days of the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $5,000 of Conversion Value of Series A Preferred Stock being converted, $50 per Trading Day (increasing to $100 per Trading Day after three (3) Trading Days and increasing to $200 per Trading Day six (6) Trading Days after such damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
 
(iii)  Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) by a Share Delivery Date, and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to which the aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation is $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. 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 Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
16

 
(iv)  Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holders, not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to any additional requirements of the Company as to reservation of such shares set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable and, if the Conversion Shares Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, registered for public sale in accordance with such Conversion Shares Registration Statement provided that the holder or its broker delivers confirmation to the Company or its transfer agent to the effect that the Conversion Shares have been sold pursuant to such registration statement.
 
(v)  Fractional Shares. Upon a conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractional shares of Common Stock. All fractional shares shall be carried forward and any fractional shares which remain after a Holder converts all of his or her Series A Preferred Stock shall be dropped and eliminated.
 
(vi)  Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holders thereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
 
(vii)  Absolute Obligation. Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Statement of Designations shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the liquidated damages (if any) on, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Section 7. Certain Adjustments.
 
(a)  Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time subsequent to the Closing Date as long as the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Series A Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
 
(b)  Price Adjustment. From and after the Closing Date and until such time as the Investors hold no Securities, except for (i) Exempt Issuances, (ii) issuances covered by Sections 7(a) and 7(c) hereof or (iii) an issuance of Common Stock upon exercise or upon conversion of warrants, options or other convertible securities for which an adjustment has already been made pursuant to this Section 7, as to all of which this Section 7(b) does not apply, if the Company closes on the sale or issuance of Common Stock at a price, or issues warrants, options, convertible debt or equity securities with a exercise price per share or conversion price which is less than the Conversion Price then in effect (such lower sales price, conversion or exercise price, as the case may be, being referred to as the “Lower Price”), the Conversion Price in effect from and after the date of such transaction shall be reduced to the Lower Price. For purpose of determining the exercise price of warrants issued by the Company, the price, if any, paid per share for the warrants shall be added to the exercise price of the warrants.
 
(c)  Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time from and after the Closing Date and as long as the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holders of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

(d)  Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares and shares owned by subsidiaries, if any) actually issued and outstanding.
 
(e)  Notice to Holders.
 
(i)  Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any of this Section 7, the Company shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. If the Company issues a variable rate security, despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be converted or exercised in the case of a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), or the lowest possible adjustment price in the case of an MFN Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
 
(ii)  Notices of Other Events. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock or any Fundamental Transaction, (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the stock books of the Company, at least 30 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification or Fundamental Transaction; provided, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.
 
(f)  Exempt Issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment in the Conversion Price will be made in respect of an Exempt Issuance.
 
(g)  Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then upon any subsequent conversion of this Series A Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Series A Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Statement of Designations with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holder new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (f)(iv) and insuring that this Series A Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Statement of Designations, in the event that the agreement relating to a Fundamental Transaction provides for the conversion or exchange of the Series A Preferred Stock into equity or debt securities, cash or other consideration and the agreement is approved by the holders of a majority of the. then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, then the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have only the rights set forth in such agreement.
