The Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value

into a number of shares
of common stock equal to the stated value plus

with us, the holders of our
Series B Preferred Stock are obligated to convert
their shares into shares
of common stock as soon as reasonably practicable.
However, no holder of
Series B Preferred Stock will be required to
convert its shares into
shares of common stock if the conversion would
cause the holder or any of
its affiliates, individually or in the aggregate,
to beneficially own more
than 9.999% of our outstanding common
stock.
|

Dividends.
Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled

with
respect to the common stock.

in excess of $250,000;

(a) |
Conversion
at the Option of the Holder.
Subject to the limitations on conversions contained in Paragraph
C of this

at any
time and from time to time, convert (an “Optional
Conversion”)
each of its shares of Series C Preferred Stock into a number of
fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Common Stock determined in accordance
with the
following formula:
|
(b) |
Mechanics
of Conversion.
In order to effect an Optional Conversion, a holder shall: (x)
fax (or
otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed Notice of Conversion
to
the Corporation (Attention: Secretary) and (y) surrender or cause
to be
surrendered the original certificates representing the Series C
Preferred
Stock being converted (the “Preferred
Stock Certificates”),
duly endorsed, along with a copy of the Notice of Conversion as
soon as
practicable thereafter to the Corporation. Upon receipt by the
Corporation
of a facsimile copy of a Notice of Conversion from a holder, the
Corporation shall promptly send, via facsimile, a confirmation
to such
holder stating that the Notice of Conversion has been received,
the date
upon which the Corporation expects to deliver the Common Stock
issuable
upon such conversion and the name and telephone number of a contact
person
at the Corporation regarding the conversion. The Corporation shall
not be
obligated to issue shares of Common Stock upon a conversion unless
either
the Preferred Stock Certificates are delivered to the Corporation
as
provided above, or the holder notifies the Corporation that such
Preferred
Stock Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and delivers
the
documentation to the Corporation required by Article XIV.B
hereof.
|
(i) |
Delivery
of Common Stock Upon Conversion.
Upon the surrender of Preferred Stock Certificates accompanied
by a Notice
of Conversion, the Corporation (itself, or through its transfer
agent)
shall, no later than the later of (a) the second business day following
the Conversion Date and (b) the business day following the date
of such
surrender (or, in the case of lost, stolen or destroyed certificates,
after provision of indemnity pursuant to Article XIV.B) (the “Delivery
Period”),
issue and deliver (i.e., deposit with a nationally recognized overnight
courier service postage prepaid) to the holder or its nominee (x)
that
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such
shares
of Series C Preferred Stock being converted and (y) a certificate
representing the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock not
being
converted, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Corporation’s
transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”)
Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, and so long as the
certificates therefor do not bear a legend (pursuant to the terms
of the
Securities Purchase Agreement) and the holder thereof is not then
required
to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon
(pursuant
to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement), the Corporation
shall
cause its transfer agent to promptly electronically transmit the
Common
Stock issuable upon conversion to the holder by crediting the account
of
the holder or its nominee with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal
Agent
Commission system (“DTC
Transfer”).
If the aforementioned conditions to a DTC Transfer are not satisfied,
the
Corporation shall deliver as provided above to the holder physical
certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion.
Further, a holder may instruct the Corporation to deliver to the
holder
physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion in lieu of delivering such shares by way of DTC
Transfer.
|
(ii) |
Taxes.
The Corporation shall pay any and all taxes that may be imposed
upon it
with respect to the issuance and delivery of the shares of Common
Stock
upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred
Stock.
|
(iii) |
No
Fractional Shares.
If
any conversion of Series C Preferred Stock would result in the
issuance of
a fractional share of Common Stock (aggregating all shares of Series
C
Preferred Stock being converted pursuant to a given Notice of Conversion),
such fractional share shall be payable in cash based upon the ten
day
average Closing Bid Price at such time, and the number of shares
of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock
shall be
the next lower whole number of shares. If the Corporation elects
not to,
or is unable to, make such a cash payment, the holder shall be
entitled to
receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share
of
Common Stock.
|
(iv) |
Conversion
Disputes.
In the case of any dispute with respect to a conversion, the Corporation
shall promptly issue such number of shares of Common Stock as are
not
disputed in accordance with subparagraph (i) above. If such dispute
involves the calculation of the Conversion Price, and such dispute
is not
promptly resolved by discussion between the relevant holder and
the
Corporation, the Corporation shall submit the disputed calculations
to an
independent outside accountant via facsimile within three business
days of
receipt of the Notice of Conversion. The accountant, at the Corporation’s
sole expense, shall promptly audit the calculations and notify
the
Corporation and the holder of the results no later than three business
days from the date it receives the disputed calculations. The accountant’s
calculation shall be deemed conclusive, absent manifest error.
The
Corporation shall then issue the appropriate number of shares of
Common
Stock in accordance with subparagraph (i)
above.
|
(c) |
Mandatory
Conversion by Corporation.
|
(i) |
If,
at any time after one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective
date of
the registration statement (the “Registration
Statement”)
required to be filed by the Corporation pursuant to Section 2(a)
of the
Registration Rights Agreement, and subject to Article IV.D hereof,
all of
the Required Conditions (as defined below) are satisfied, then,
at the
option of the Corporation exercised by the delivery of written
notice (a
“Mandatory
Conversion Notice”)
to all holders of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the Company
may
require the holders of Series C Preferred Stock to convert all
of the
outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock into Common Stock
pursuant
to the applicable conversion procedures in Article
IV.B.
|
(ii) |
The
“Required
Conditions”
shall consist of the following:
|
(1) | the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive trading days prior to delivery of the Mandatory Conversion Notice equals or exceeds $0.20 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends or similar events); | ||
(2) | the Registration Statement continues to be effective up through and including the date of the Mandatory Conversion contemplated by this Article IV.C (it being understood that the Corporation shall comply with its obligations under Article 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement relating to the effectiveness of such registration statement); | ||
(3) | all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants are then (a) authorized and reserved for issuance, (b) registered under the Securities Act, for resale by the holders and (c) listed or traded on the Bulletin Board, the Nasdaq National Market or any other national exchange; | ||
(4) | no Redemption Event (as defined in Article VII.A below) shall have occurred without having been cured; and | ||
(5) | all amounts, if any, then accrued or payable under this Certificate of Designation or the Registration Rights Agreement shall have been paid. |
(iii) |
In
the event any holder of Series C Preferred Stock is unable to convert
all
of the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock that it holds due to
the
limitations set forth in Article IV. D hereof, such unconverted
Series C
Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding with all of the right
and
privileges set forth herein; provided,
however,
that such shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue
any
additional Dividends hereunder, effective as of the date of the
mandatory
conversion specified in the Mandatory Conversion
Notice.
|
(d) |
Limitations
on Conversions.
The conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the payment
of
Dividends in shares of Common Stock shall be subject to the following
limitations (each of which limitations shall be applied
independently):
|
(i) |
[Reserved].
|
(ii) |
Additional
Restrictions on Conversion, Payment of Dividends in Shares of Common
Stock
or Transfer.
In no event shall the Corporation issue Common Stock to any holder
of
Series C Preferred Stock as payment of any Dividend, and in no
event shall
a holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock of the Corporation
have the
right to convert shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares
of Common
Stock or to dispose of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock to
the
extent that such right to effect such conversion or disposition
would
result in the holder or any of its affiliates together beneficially
owning
more than 9.999% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For
purposes
of this subparagraph, beneficial ownership shall be determined
in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as
amended, and Regulation 13D-G thereunder. The restriction contained
in
this subparagraph may not be altered, amended, deleted or changed
in any
manner whatsoever unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock (considered
separately as a single class without giving effect to Article XI
hereof) and
the Majority Holders shall approve, in writing, such alteration,
amendment, deletion or change; provided,
however,
no such alteration, amendment, deletion or change shall be effective
until
the 61st day following the later of the vote of the holders of
the Common
Stock or the Majority Holders. In the event the Corporation is
prohibited
from issuing Common Stock to any holder of Series C Preferred Stock
as
payment of any Dividend, it shall pay such Dividend to such holder
in
cash.
|
(a) |
Increases
to Reserved Amount.
If the Reserved Amount for any three consecutive trading days (the
last of
such three trading days being the “Authorization
Trigger Date”)
shall be less than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the
number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon full conversion of the then
outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock (without giving
effect to
the limitations contained in Article IV.D), the Corporation shall
immediately notify the holders of Series C Preferred Stock of such
occurrence and shall take immediate action (including, if necessary,
seeking stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized
shares
of Common Stock) to increase the Reserved Amount to one hundred
twenty-five percent (125%) of the number of shares of Common Stock
then
issuable upon full conversion of all of the outstanding Series
C Preferred
Stock at the then current Conversion Price (without giving effect
to the
limitations contained in Article IV.D). In the event the Corporation
fails
to so increase the Reserved Amount within 90 days after an Authorization
Trigger Date, each holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall thereafter
have the option, exercisable in whole or in part at any time and
from time
to time, by delivery of a Redemption Notice (as defined in Article
VII.C)
to the Corporation, to require the Corporation to redeem for cash,
at an
amount per share equal to the Redemption Amount (as defined in
Article
VII.B), a number of the holder’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock such
that, after giving effect to such redemption, the then unissued
portion of
such holder’s Reserved Amount is at least equal to one hundred twenty-five
percent (125%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon
conversion of such holder’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock. If the
Corporation fails to redeem any of such shares within five business
days
after its receipt of such Redemption Notice, then such holder shall
be
entitled to the remedies provided in Article
VII.C.
|
(a) |
Conversion
Defaults.
If, at any time, (i) a holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock
submits a Notice of Conversion and the Corporation fails for any
reason
(other than because such issuance would exceed such holder’s allocated
portion of the Cap Amount or Reserved Amount, for which failures
the
holders shall have the remedies set forth in Articles V and VI,
respectively) to deliver, on or prior to the fifth business day
following
the expiration of the Delivery Period for such conversion, such
number of
freely tradable shares of Common Stock to which such holder is
entitled
upon such conversion, or (ii) the Corporation provides written
notice to
any holder of Series C Preferred Stock (or makes a public announcement
via
press release) at any time of its intention not to issue freely
tradable
shares of Common Stock upon exercise by any holder of its conversion
rights in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Designation
(other than because such issuance would exceed such holder’s allocated
portion of the Cap Amount or Reserved Amount or Cap Amount) (each
of (i)
and (ii) being a “Conversion
Default”),
then the holder may elect, at any time and from time to time prior
to the
Default Cure Date for such Conversion Default, by delivery of a
Redemption
Notice to the Corporation, to have all or any portion of such holder’s
outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock redeemed by the
Corporation
for cash, at an amount per share equal to the Redemption Amount.
If the
Corporation fails to redeem any of such shares within five business
days
after its receipt of such Redemption Notice, then such holder shall
be
entitled to the remedies provided in Article
VII.C.
|
(b) |
Buy-In
Cure.
Unless the Corporation has notified the applicable holder in writing
prior
to the delivery by such holder of a Notice of Conversion that the
Corporation is unable to honor conversions, if (i) (a) the Corporation
fails to promptly deliver during the Delivery Period shares of
Common
Stock to a holder upon a conversion of shares of Series C Preferred
Stock
or (b) there shall occur a Legend Removal Failure (as defined in
Article
VII.A(i) below) and (ii) thereafter, such holder purchases (in
an open
market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to make
delivery
in satisfaction of a sale by such holder of the unlegended shares
of
Common Stock (the “Sold
Shares”)
which such holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a
“Buy-In”),
the Corporation shall pay such holder, in addition to any other
remedies
available to the holder, the amount by which (x) such holder’s total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
unlegended shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the
net
proceeds received by such holder from the sale of the Sold Shares.
For
example, if a holder purchases unlegended shares of Common Stock
having a
total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect
to shares
of Common Stock it sold for $10,000, the Corporation will be required
to
pay the holder $1,000. A holder shall provide the Corporation written
notification and supporting documentation indicating any amounts
payable
to such holder pursuant to this Article VI.B. The Corporation shall
make
any payments required pursuant to this Article VI.B in accordance
with and
subject to the provisions of Article
XIV.E.
|
(a) |
Redemption
by Holder.
In the event (each of the events described in clauses (i)-(vi)
below after
expiration of the applicable cure period (if any) being a “Redemption
Event”):
|
(i) |
the
Corporation fails to remove any restrictive legend on any certificate
or
any shares of Common Stock issued to the holders of Series C Preferred
Stock upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock as and when
required
by this Certificate of Designation, the Securities Purchase Agreement
or
the Registration Rights Agreement (a “Legend
Removal Failure”),
and any such failure continues uncured for five business days after
the
Corporation has been notified thereof in writing by the
holder;
|
(ii) |
the
Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation shall make an
assignment
for the benefit of creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment
of a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its
property
or business, or such a receiver or trustee shall otherwise be appointed;
|
(iii) |
the
Corporation’s stockholders do not (x) approve the Amendment or (y) grant
the Price Adjustment Approval, in each case no later than ninety
(90) days
after the Issuance Date; provided,
however,
that in the event the SEC conducts a full review of the preliminary
proxy
statement filed in connection with the Company soliciting proxies
to
approve the Amendment and the Price Adjustment Approval, such period
may
be extended, if reasonably necessary, by an additional thirty (30)
days.;
|
(iv) |
bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other
proceedings
for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the
Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation and if instituted
against
the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation by a third
party,
shall not be dismissed within 60 days of their
initiation;
|
(v) |
the
Corporation shall:
|
(1) | sell, convey or dispose of all or substantially all of its assets (the presentation of any such transaction for stockholder approval being conclusive evidence that such transaction involves the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation); | ||
(2) | merge, consolidate or engage in any other business combination with any other entity (other than pursuant to a migratory merger effected solely for the purpose of changing the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Corporation and other than pursuant to a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing entity and its capital stock is unchanged) provided that such merger, consolidation or business combination is required to be reported by the Corporation on a Current Report pursuant to Item 1 of Form 8-K, or any successor form; | ||
(3) | engage in any transaction or a series of related transactions resulting in the sale or issuance by the Corporation or any of its stockholders of any securities to any person or entity, or the acquisition or right to acquire securities by any person or entity, in either case acting individually or in concert with others, such that, following the consummation of such transaction(s), such person(s) or entity(ies) (together with their respective affiliates, as such term is used under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) would own or have the right to acquire greater than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (calculated on a fully-diluted basis). | ||
(4) | either (i) fail to pay, when due, or within any applicable grace period, any payment with respect to any indebtedness of the Corporation in excess of $250,000 due to any third party, other than payments contested by the Corporation in good faith, or otherwise be in breach or violation of any agreement for monies owed or owing in an amount in excess of $250,000 which breach or violation permits the other party thereto to declare a default or otherwise accelerate amounts due thereunder, or (ii) suffer to exist any other default or event of default under any agreement binding the Corporation which default or event of default would or is likely to have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects or financial condition of the Corporation; or |
(vi) |
except
with respect to matters covered by subparagraphs (i) - (v) above,
as to
which such applicable subparagraphs shall apply, the Corporation
otherwise
shall breach any material term hereunder or under the Securities
Purchase
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrants, including,
without limitation, the representations and warranties contained
therein
(i.e., in the event of a material breach as of the date such
representation and warranty was made) and if such breach is curable,
shall
fail to cure such breach within ten business days after the Corporation
has been notified thereof in writing by the
holder;
|
(b) |
Definition
of Redemption Amount.
The “Redemption
Amount”
with respect to a share of Series C Preferred Stock means an amount
equal
to the greater of:
(i) (V/CP)
x M
and
(ii) V
x
R
|
(c) |
Redemption
Defaults.
If the Corporation fails to pay any holder the Redemption Amount
with
respect to any share of Series C Preferred Stock within five business
days
after its receipt of a notice requiring such redemption (a “Redemption
Notice”),
then the holder of Series C Preferred Stock entitled to redemption
shall
be entitled to interest on the Redemption Amount at a per annum
rate equal
to the lower of twenty-four percent (24%) and the highest interest
rate
permitted by applicable law from the date on which the Corporation
receives the Redemption Notice until the date of payment of the
Redemption
Amount hereunder. In the event the Corporation is not able to redeem
all
of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock subject to Redemption
Notices
delivered prior to the date upon which such redemption is to be
effected,
the Corporation shall redeem shares of Series C Preferred Stock
from each
holder pro rata, based on the total number of shares of Series
C Preferred
Stock outstanding at the time of redemption included by such holder
in all
Redemption Notices delivered prior to the date upon which such
redemption
is to be effected relative to the total number of shares of Series
C
Preferred Stock outstanding at the time of redemption included
in all of
the Redemption Notices delivered prior to the date upon which such
redemption is to be effected.
|
(a) |
If
the Corporation shall commence a voluntary case under the U.S.
Federal
bankruptcy laws or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency
or similar
law, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary
case
under any law or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
assignee,
custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of
the
Corporation or of any substantial part of its property, or make
an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or admit in writing
its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or if
a decree or
order for relief in respect of the Corporation shall be entered
by a court
having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under
the U.S.
Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency
or
similar law resulting in the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official)
of
the Corporation or of any substantial part of its property, or
ordering
the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and any such decree
or order
shall be unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive
days and,
on account of any such event, the Corporation shall liquidate,
dissolve or
wind up, or if the Corporation shall otherwise liquidate, dissolve
or wind
up, including, but not limited to, the sale or transfer of all
or
substantially all of the Corporation’s assets in one transaction or in a
series of related transactions (only in the event a holder does
not elect
its rights with respect to such sale or transfer as set forth in
Article
X.B, if applicable) and the consolidation or merger of the Corporation
with or into any other entity (only in the event a holder does
not elect
its rights with respect to such consolidation or merger as set
forth in
Article X.B, if applicable) (a “Liquidation
Event”),
no distribution shall be made to the holders of any shares of capital
stock of the Corporation (other than Senior Securities pursuant
to the
rights, preferences and privileges thereof) upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding up unless prior thereto the holders of shares of Series
C
Preferred Stock shall have received the Liquidation Preference
with
respect to each share. If, upon the occurrence of a Liquidation
Event, the
assets and funds available for distribution among the holders of
the
Series C Preferred Stock and holders of Pari
Passu
Securities, if any, shall be insufficient to permit the payment
to such
holders of the preferential amounts payable thereon, then the entire
assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution
to
the Series C Preferred Stock and the Pari
Passu
Securities, if any, shall be distributed ratably among such shares
in
proportion to the ratio that the Liquidation Preference payable
on each
such share bears to the aggregate Liquidation Preference payable
on all
such shares. If, upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the
assets
and funds available for distribution among the holders of Senior
Securities, if any, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock
and the
holders of Pari
Passu
Securities, if any, shall be sufficient to permit the payment to
such
holders of the preferential amounts payable thereon, then after
such
payment shall be made in full to the holders of Senior Securities,
if any,
the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and the holders of
Pari
Passu
Securities, if any, the remaining assets and funds available for
distribution shall be distributed to the holders of any Junior
Securities
entitled to a liquidation preference in payment of the aggregate
liquidation preference of all such holders. After such payment
shall be
made in full to the holders of any Junior Securities entitled to
a
liquidation preference, the remaining assets and funds available
for
distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of
shares of
Series C Preferred Stock, the holders of any other class or series
of
Preferred Stock entitled to participate with the Common Stock in
a
liquidating distribution and the holders of the Common Stock, with
the
holders of shares of Preferred Stock deemed to hold the number
of shares
of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock are then
convertible.
|
(b) |
The
purchase or redemption by the Corporation of stock of any class,
in any
manner permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be
regarded
as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation.
|
(c) |
The
“Liquidation
Preference”
with respect to a share of Series C Preferred Stock means an amount
equal
to the Face Amount thereof plus all accrued Dividends thereon through
the
date of final distribution. The Liquidation Preference with respect
to any
Pari
Passu
Securities, if any, shall be as set forth in the Certificate of
Designation filed in respect
thereof.
|
(a) |
Stock
Splits, Stock Dividends, Etc.
If, at any time on or after the Issuance Date, the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock split, stock dividend,
combination, reclassification or other similar event, the Conversion
Price
shall be proportionately reduced, or if the number of outstanding
shares
of Common Stock is decreased by a reverse stock split, combination,
reclassification or other similar event, the Conversion Price shall
be
proportionately increased. In such event, the Corporation shall
notify the
Corporation’s transfer agent of such change on or before the effective
date thereof.
|
(b) |
Merger,
Consolidation, Etc.
If, at any time after the Issuance Date, there shall be (i) any
reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock
(other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par
value, or
from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision
or
combination), (ii) any consolidation or merger of the Corporation
with any
other entity (other than a merger in which the Corporation is the
surviving or continuing entity and its capital stock is unchanged),
(iii)
any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets
of the
Corporation or (iv) any share exchange pursuant to which all of
the
outstanding shares of Common Stock are converted into other securities
or
property (each of (i) - (iv) above being a “Corporate
Change”),
then the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall thereafter have
the
right to receive upon conversion, in lieu of the shares of Common
Stock
otherwise issuable, such shares of stock, securities and/or other
property
as would have been issued or payable in such Corporate Change with
respect
to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock which
would
have been issuable upon conversion had such Corporate Change not
taken
place (without giving effect to the limitations contained in Article
IV.D), and in any such case, appropriate provisions (in form and
substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holders) shall be made
with
respect to the rights and interests of the holders of the Series
C
Preferred Stock to the end that the economic value of the shares
of Series
C Preferred Stock are in no way diminished by such Corporate Change
and
that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, in the
case of
any such consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor entity
or
purchasing entity is not the Corporation, an immediate adjustment
of the
Conversion Price so that the Conversion Price immediately after
the
Corporate Change reflects the same relative value as compared to
the value
of the surviving entity’s common stock that existed between the Conversion
Price and the value of the Corporation’s Common Stock immediately prior to
such Corporate Change shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly
as may be
practicable in relation to any shares of stock or securities thereafter
deliverable upon the conversion thereof). The Corporation shall
not effect
any Corporate Change unless (i) each holder of Series C Preferred
Stock
has received written notice of such transaction at least 45 days
prior
thereto, but in no event later than 15 days prior to the record
date for
the determination of stockholders entitled to vote with respect
thereto,
(ii) if required by Section 4(i) of the Securities Purchase Agreement,
the
consent of the Purchasers (as such term is defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement) shall have been obtained in accordance with
such
Section 4(i), and (iii) the resulting successor or acquiring entity
(if
not the Corporation), and, if an entity different from the successor
or
acquiring entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the
holders of
the Common Stock are entitled to receive as a result of such Corporate
Change, assumes by written instrument (in form and substance reasonable
satisfactory to the Majority Holders) the obligations of this Certificate
of Designation (including, without limitation, the obligation to
make
payments of Dividends accrued but unpaid through the date of such
consolidation, merger or sale and accruing thereafter). The above
provisions shall apply regardless of whether or not there would
have been
a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available
for
issuance upon conversion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock
outstanding as of the date of such transaction, and shall similarly
apply
to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales,
transfers
or share exchanges.
|
(c) |
Distributions.
If, at any time after the Issuance Date, the Corporation shall
declare or
make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets)
to
holders of Common Stock as a partial liquidating dividend, by way
of
return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution
to
the Corporation’s stockholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire
shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e.,
a
spin-off)) (a “Distribution”),
then the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled,
upon any
conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock after the date
of record
for determining stockholders entitled to such Distribution, to
receive the
amount of such assets which would have been payable to the holder
with
respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
(without giving effect to the limitations contained in Article
IV.D) had
such holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the
record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to such Distribution.
If the Distribution involves Convertible Securities or Purchase
Rights (as
such terms are defined in Paragraph D below) and the right to exercise
or
convert any such Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights would
expire in
accordance with their terms prior to the conversion of the Series
C
Preferred Stock, then the terms of such Convertible Securities
or Purchase
Rights shall provide that such exercise or convertibility right
shall
remain in effect until 30 days after the date the holder of Series
C
Preferred Stock receives such Convertible Securities or Purchase
Rights
pursuant to the conversion hereof.
|
(d) |
Purchase
Rights.
If, at any time after the Issuance Date, the Corporation issues
any
securities or other instruments which are convertible into or exercisable
or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible
Securities”)
or options, warrants or other rights to purchase or subscribe for
Common
Stock or Convertible Securities (“Purchase
Rights”)
pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, whether
or
not such Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights are immediately
convertible, exercisable or exchangeable, then the holders of Series
C
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable
to
such Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights, the aggregate number
of
Convertible Securities or 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 Series C Preferred Stock
(without giving effect to the limitations contained in Article
IV.D)
immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the
grant,
issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities or 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
Convertible Securities or Purchase
Rights.
|
(e) |
Dilutive
Issuances.
|
(i) |
If,
at any time after the Corporation obtains the Price Adjustment
Approval,
the Corporation issues or sells, or in accordance with subparagraph
(ii)
of this Article X.E is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares
of Common
Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share less
than the
Conversion Price in effect on the date of issuance or sale (or
deemed
issuance or sale) (a “Dilutive
Issuance”),
then effective immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion
Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following
formula:
|
ACP=
|
C
x
|
O+P/C
|
CSDO
|
(ii) |
Effect
on Conversion Price of Certain Events.
For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under
subparagraph (i) of this Article X.E, the following will be
applicable:
|
(1) | Issuance of Purchase Rights. If the Corporation issues or sells any Purchase Rights, whether or not immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Purchase Rights (and the price of any conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable) is less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Purchase Rights (assuming full conversion, exercise or exchange of Convertible Securities, if applicable) shall, as of the date of the issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation for such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Purchase Rights” shall be determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Purchase Rights, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of all such Purchase Rights, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Purchase Rights, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof (determined in accordance with the calculation method set forth in subparagraph (ii)(b) of this Article X.E) at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible, exercisable or exchangeable, by (B) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Purchase Rights (assuming full conversion, exercise or exchange of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Purchase Rights or upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Purchase Rights. |
(2) | Issuance of Convertible Securities. |
a. |
If
the Corporation issues or sells any Convertible Securities, which
Convertible Securities do not have a fluctuating conversion or
exercise
price or exchange ratio, whether or not immediately convertible,
exercisable or exchangeable, and the price per share for which
Common
Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exercise or exchange is
less than
the Conversion Price in effect on the date of issuance or sale
of such
Convertible Securities, then the maximum total number of shares
of Common
Stock issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of all
such
Convertible Securities shall, as of the date of the issuance or
sale of
such Convertible Securities, be deemed to be outstanding and to
have been
issued and sold by the Corporation for such price per share. For
the
purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common
Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exercise or exchange” shall be
determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or
receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issuance
or sale of
all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount
of
additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon
the
conversion, exercise or exchange thereof (determined in accordance
with
the calculation method set forth in this subparagraph (ii)(b) of
this
Article X.E) at the time such Convertible Securities first become
convertible, exercisable or exchangeable, by (B) the maximum total
number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion
or
exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment
to the
Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such
Common
Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
|
b. |
If
the Corporation issues or sells any Convertible Securities with
a
fluctuating conversion or exercise price or exchange ratio (a
“Variable
Rate Convertible Security”),
then the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such
conversion, exercise or exchange” for purposes of the calculation
contemplated by subparagraph (b)(ii)(1) of this Article X.E shall
be
deemed to be the lowest price per share which would be applicable
(assuming all holding period and other conditions to any discounts
contained in such Variable Rate Convertible Security have been
satisfied)
if the Conversion Price on the date of issuance or sale of such
Variable
Rate Convertible Security was seventy-five percent (75%) of the
Conversion
Price on such date (the “Assumed
Variable Market Price”).
Further, if the Conversion Price at any time or times thereafter
is less
than or equal to the Assumed Variable Market Price last used for
making
any adjustment under this Article X.E with respect to any Variable
Rate
Convertible Security, the Conversion Price in effect at such time
shall be
readjusted to equal the Conversion Price which would have resulted
if the
Assumed Variable Market Price at the time of issuance of the Variable
Rate
Convertible Security had been seventy-five percent (75%) of the
Conversion
Price existing at the time of the adjustment required by this
sentence.
|
c. |
Change
in Option Price or Conversion Rate.
If there is a change at any time in (A) the amount of additional
consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of any
Purchase
Rights; (B) the amount of additional consideration, if any, payable
to the
Corporation upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible
Securities; or (C) the rate at which any Convertible Securities
are
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock
(in each
such case, other than under or by reason of provisions designed
to protect
against dilution and except when an adjustment is made pursuant
to
subparagraph (ii)(b)(2) of this Article X.E), the Conversion Price
in
effect at the time of such change shall be readjusted to the Conversion
Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Purchase
Rights or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for
such
changed additional consideration or changed conversion, exercise
or
exchange rate, as the case may be, at the time initially issued
or
sold.
|
d. |
Calculation
of Consideration Received.
If any Common Stock, Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities
are issued
or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be the
amount
received by the Corporation therefor, after deduction of all underwriting
discounts or allowances in connection with such issuance, grant
or sale.
In case any Common Stock, Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities
are
issued or sold for a consideration part or all of which shall be
other
than cash, including in the case of a strategic or similar arrangement
in
which the other entity will provide services to the Corporation,
purchase
services from the Corporation or otherwise provide intangible
consideration to the Corporation, the amount of the consideration
other
than cash received by the Corporation (including the net present
value of
the consideration expected by the Corporation for the provided
or
purchased services) shall be the fair market value of such consideration,
except where such consideration consists of securities, in which
case the
amount of consideration received by the Corporation will be valued
at the
Closing Bid Price thereof as of the date of receipt. In case any
Common
Stock, Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities are issued in
connection
with any merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the
surviving
corporation, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed
to be the
fair market value of such portion of the net assets and business
of the
non-surviving corporation as is attributable to such Common Stock,
Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if Common
Stock,
Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities are issued or sold in
conjunction with each other as part of a single transaction or
in a series
of related transactions, any holder of Series C Preferred Stock
may elect
to determine the amount of consideration deemed to be received
by the
Corporation therefor by deducting the fair value of any type of
securities
(the “Disregarded
Securities”)
issued or sold in such transaction or series of transactions. If
the
holder makes an election pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence,
no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made pursuant to
this
Article X.E for the issuance of the Disregarded Securities or upon
any
conversion, exercise or exchange thereof. For example, if the Corporation
were to issue convertible notes having a face value of $1,000,000
and
warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price
equal to
the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the date of issuance
of such
warrants in exchange for $1,000,000 of consideration, the fair
value of
the warrants would be subtracted from the $1,000,000 of consideration
received by the Corporation for the purposes of determining whether
the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible
notes
shall be deemed to be issued at a price per share below the Conversion
Price and, if so, for purposes of determining any adjustment to
the
Conversion Price hereunder as a result of the issuance of the convertible
notes. The Corporation shall calculate, using standard commercial
valuation methods appropriate for valuing such assets, the fair
market
value of any consideration other than cash or securities; provided,
however,
that if the Majority Holders do not agree to such fair market value
calculation within three business days after receipt thereof from
the
Corporation, then such fair market value shall be determined in
good faith
by an investment banker or other appropriate expert of national
reputation
selected by the Corporation and reasonably acceptable to the Majority
Holders, with the costs of such appraisal to be borne by the
Corporation.
|
e. |
Issuances
Pursuant to Existing Securities.
If the Corporation issues (or becomes obligated to issue) shares
of Common
Stock pursuant to any antidilution or similar adjustments (other
than as a
result of stock splits, stock dividends and the like) contained
in any
Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights outstanding as of the
date
hereof but not included in Section 3(c) of the Disclosure Schedule
to the
Securities Purchase Agreement, then all shares of Common Stock
so issued
shall be deemed to have been issued for no consideration. If the
Corporation issues (or becomes obligated to issue) shares of Common
Stock
pursuant to any antidilution or similar adjustments contained in
any
Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights included in Section 3(c)
of the
Disclosure Schedule to the Securities Purchase Agreement as a result
of
the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock or Warrants and the
number of
shares that the Corporation issues (or is obligated to issue) as
a result
of such initial issuance exceeds the amount specified in Section
3(c) of
the Disclosure Schedule to the Securities Purchase Agreement, such
excess
shares shall be deemed to have been issued for no
consideration.
|
(f) |
Exceptions
to Adjustment of Conversion Price.
No adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made (i) upon the
exercise
of any Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights issued and outstanding
on
the Issuance Date that are set forth in Section 3(c) of the Disclosure
Schedule to the Securities Purchase Agreement in accordance with
the terms
of such Convertible Securities and Purchase Rights as of such date;
(ii)
upon the grant or exercise of any Common Stock, Convertible Securities
or
Purchase Rights to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants
to,
the Corporation which may hereafter be granted to or exercised
by any
employee, officer, director or consultant under any equity compensation
or
similar benefit plan of the Corporation now existing or to be implemented
in the future, so long as such plan and the issuance of such Common
Stock,
Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights is approved in accordance
with
reasonable judgment by a majority of the Board of Directors of
the
Corporation or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee
directors established for such purpose; (iii) upon conversion of
the
Series C Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants or upon any
adjustment to the conversion price of the Series C Preferred Stock
or the
exercise price of the Warrants, (iv) upon the issuance of securities
in
connection with strategic business partnerships or joint ventures,
the
primary purpose of which, in the reasonable judgment of the Board
of
Directors, is not to raise additional capital, (v) the issuance
of
securities pursuant to any equipment financing from a bank or similar
financial or lending institution approved by the Board of Directors,
or
(vi) the issuance of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock or
Warrants to
additional purchasers in one or more additional closings consummated
prior
to the filing of the Registration Statement, as contemplated by
Section
1(b) of the Securities Purchase Agreement (any such issuance in
accordance
with one of the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi), an “Excluded
Issuance”).
|
(g) |
Other
Action Affecting Conversion Price.
If, at any time after the Issuance Date, the Corporation takes
any action
affecting the Common Stock that would be covered by Article X.A
through E,
but for the manner in which such action is taken or structured,
which
would in any way diminish the value of the Series C Preferred Stock,
then
the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner as the Board
of
Directors of the Corporation shall in good faith determine to be
equitable
under the circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment
shall be made pursuant to this Article X.G if such adjustment would
result
in an increase of the Conversion
Price.
|
(h) |
Notice
of Adjustments.
Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion
Price pursuant to this Article X amounting to a more than one percent
(1%)
change in such Conversion Price, the Corporation, at its expense,
shall
promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and
furnish
to each holder of Series C Preferred Stock a certificate setting
forth
such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts
upon which
such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall,
upon the
written request at any time of -any holder of Series C Preferred
Stock,
furnish to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such
adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time
in
effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount,
if
any, of other securities or property which at the time would be
received
upon conversion of a share of Series C Preferred
Stock.
|
(i) |
alter
or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series C
Preferred
Stock, or increase the authorized number of shares of Series C

stock of
the Corporation so as to affect adversely the Series C Preferred
Stock;

Passu
Securities;
|
(iv) |

or
distribution on, any Junior Securities;
|
(vi) |

the par value of the Common Stock;
|
(vii) |
make
any Dilutive Issuance; provided,
however, that this Article XII(vii) shall be of no further force
and
effect from and after the effective date of the Price Adjustment
Approval;
provided
further, that this Article XII(vii) shall not in any way limit
the
application of the other provisions of this Article
XII;
|
(viii) |
issue
any debt securities that would have any preferences over the Series
C
Preferred Stock upon liquidation of the Corporation;
or
|
(ix) |
except
for exclusive or non-exclusive licenses of intellectual property
on arms’
length bases, sell or otherwise transfer any independently-significant
asset or intellectual property to any other person(s) or entity(ies)
(including, without limitation, to any subsidiary(ies) of the
Corporation).
|
(i) |
the
Company shall deliver a notice (the “Notice”)
to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock stating (A) its bona
fide
intention to offer such Additional Securities, (B) the number of
such
Additional Securities to be offered, (C) the price and terms, if
any, upon
which it proposes to offer such Additional Securities, and (D)
the
anticipated closing date of the sale of such Additional
Securities;
|
(ii) |
until
the first anniversary of the Closing Date, by written notification
received by the Company within five (5) trading days after giving
of the
Notice, any holder of Series C Preferred Stock may elect to purchase
or
obtain, at the price and on the terms specified in the Notice,
up to that
portion of such Additional Securities that have a total purchase
price
equal to one half of the Face Amount of the Series C Preferred
Stock held
by such holder (including any shares of Series C Preferred Stock
that have
been converted into Common Stock). The Company shall promptly,
in writing,
inform each holder of Series C Preferred Stock that elects to purchase
all
of the Additional Shares available to it (“Fully-Exercising
Holder”)
of any other holder of Series C Preferred Stock's failure to do
likewise.
During the five (5) trading day period commencing after such information
is given, each Fully-Exercising Holder shall be entitled to obtain
that
portion of the Additional Securities for which the holders of Series
C
Preferred Stock were entitled to subscribe but that were not subscribed
for by the holders of Series C Preferred Stock that is equal to
the
proportion that the Face Amount of the Series C Preferred Stock
held by
such Fully-Exercising Holder (including any shares of Series C
Preferred
Stock that have been converted into Common Stock) bears to the
total Face
Amount of the Series C Preferred Stock held by all holders of Series
C
Preferred Stock (including any shares of Series C Preferred Stock
that
have been converted into Common
Stock);
|
(iii) |
notwithstanding
the provisions of Article XIII(ii), at any time after the Closing
Date, by
written notification received by the Company within five (5) trading
days
after giving of the Notice, any holder of Series C Preferred Stock
may
elect to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified
in
the Notice, up to that portion of such Additional Securities that
have a
total purchase price equal to the Face Amount of the Series C Preferred
Stock held by such holder (including any shares of Series C Preferred
Stock that have been converted into Common Stock); provided,
however,
that any holder of Series C Preferred Stock who elects to purchase
Additional Securities pursuant to this Article XIII(iii) shall
be required
to surrender to the Company Series C Preferred Stock (or Common
Stock
issued on the conversion of such Series C Preferred Stock) for
which the
Face Amount (plus all accrued but unpaid Dividends) equals the
total
purchase price of the Additional Securities to be acquired by such
holder
of Series C Preferred Stock, and the Company shall accept such
Series C
Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issued on the conversion of such
Series C
Preferred Stock) as payment in full for such Additional Securities.
The
provisions of this Article XIII(iii) shall be of no further force
or
effect upon the consummation of any transaction (other than those
transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement
entered
into as of the Issuance Date by and among the Company and the initial
holders of the Series C Preferred Stock) resulting in the issuance
of the
Company’s Common Stock in connection with a bona fide offering at an
offering price per share (prior to any underwriter’s commissions and
discounts) of not less than $0.12 (as adjusted to reflect any stock
dividends, distributions, combinations, reclassifications and other
similar transactions effected by the Company in respect to its
Common
Stock) that results in total net proceeds to the Company of at
least
$5,000,000;
|
(iv) |
if
all Additional Securities which the holders of Series C Preferred
Stock
are entitled to obtain pursuant to Article XIII(ii) or Article
XIII(iii)
are not elected to be obtained as provided in subsection Article
XIII(ii)
or Article XIII(iii) hereof, the Company may, during the 75-day
period
following the expiration of the period provided in subsection Article
XIII(ii) or Article XIII(iii) hereof, offer the remaining unsubscribed
portion of such Additional Securities to any person or persons
at a price
not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree
than, those
specified in the Notice. If the Company does not consummate the
sale of
such Additional Securities within such period, the right provided
hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such Additional Securities
shall not be offered or sold unless first reoffered to the holders
of
Series C Preferred Stock in accordance
herewith;
|
(v) |
the
participation right in this Article XIII shall not be applicable
to (A)
the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock (or options therefor)
to
employees, officers, directors, or consultants of the Company for
the
primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their employment or
service
pursuant to a stock option plan (or similar equity incentive plan)
approved in good faith by the Board of Directors, (B) the issuance
of
Common Stock in connection with a bona fide underwritten public
offering
at an offering price per share (prior to underwriter's commissions
and
discounts) of not less than 200% of the Conversion Price (as adjusted
to
reflect any stock dividends, distributions, combinations,
reclassifications and other similar transactions effected by the
Company
in respect to its Common Stock) that results in total proceeds
to the
Company of at least $25,000,000, (C) the issuance or sale of the
Series C
Preferred Stock, (D) the issuance of securities in connection with
mergers, acquisitions, strategic business partnerships or joint
ventures
approved by the Board of Directors and the primary purpose of which,
in
the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors, is not to raise
additional capital or (E) any issuance of securities as to which
the
Majority Holders shall have executed a written waiver of the rights
contained in this Article XIII; and
|
(vi) |
the
participation right set forth in this Article XIII may not be assigned
or
transferred, except that such right is assignable by each holder
of Series
C Preferred Stock to any wholly-owned subsidiary or parent of,
or to any
corporation or entity that is, within the meaning of the Securities
Act,
controlling, controlled by or under common control with, any such
holder
of Series C Preferred Stock.
|
(a) |
Cancellation
of Series C Preferred Stock.
If any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are converted pursuant
to
Article IV or redeemed or repurchased by the Corporation, the shares
so
converted or redeemed shall be canceled, shall return to the status
of
authorized, but unissued Preferred Stock of no designated series,
and
shall not be issuable by the Corporation as Series C Preferred
Stock.
|
(b) |
Lost
or Stolen Certificates.
Upon receipt by the Corporation of (i) evidence of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of any Preferred Stock Certificate(s)
and (ii)
(y) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, indemnity (without
any bond
or other security) reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation,
or (z) in
the case of mutilation, the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) (surrendered
for cancellation), the Corporation shall execute and deliver new
Preferred
Stock Certificate(s) of like tenor and date. However, the Corporation
shall not be obligated to reissue such lost or stolen Preferred
Stock
Certificate(s) if the holder contemporaneously requests the Corporation
to
convert such Series C Preferred
Stock.
|
(c) |
Allocation
of Cap Amount and Reserved Amount.
The initial Cap Amount and Reserved Amount shall be allocated pro
rata
among the holders of Series C Preferred Stock based on the number
of
shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued to each holder. Each
increase to
the Cap Amount and the Reserved Amount shall be allocated pro rata
among
the holders of Series C Preferred Stock based on the number of
shares of
Series C Preferred Stock held by each holder at the time of the
increase
in the Cap Amount or Reserved Amount. In the event a holder shall
sell or
otherwise transfer any of such holder’s shares of Series C Preferred
Stock, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of
such
transferor’s Cap Amount and Reserved Amount. Any portion of the Cap Amount
or Reserved Amount which remains allocated to any person or entity
which
does not hold any Series C Preferred Stock shall be allocated to
the
remaining holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, pro rata
based on
the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock then held by such
holders.
|
(d) |
Quarterly
Statements of Available Shares.
For each calendar quarter beginning in the quarter in which the
initial
registration statement required to be filed pursuant to Section
2(a) of
the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective and thereafter
for
so long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding,
the
Corporation shall deliver (or cause its transfer agent to deliver)
to each
holder a written report notifying the holders of any occurrence
that
prohibits the Corporation from issuing Common Stock upon any conversion.
The report shall also specify (i) the total number of shares of
Series C
Preferred Stock outstanding as of the end of such quarter, (ii)
the total
number of shares of Common Stock issued upon all conversions of
Series C
Preferred Stock prior to the end of such quarter, (iii) the total
number
of shares of Common Stock which are reserved for issuance upon
conversion
of the Series C Preferred Stock as of the end of such quarter and
(iv) the
total number of shares of Common Stock which may thereafter be
issued by
the Corporation upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock
before the
Corporation would exceed the Cap Amount and the Reserved Amount.
The
Corporation (or its transfer agent) shall use its best efforts
to deliver
the report for each quarter to each holder prior to the tenth day
of the
calendar month following the quarter to which such report relates.
In
addition, the Corporation (or its transfer agent) shall provide,
as
promptly as practicable following delivery to the Corporation of
a written
request by any holder, any of the information enumerated in clauses
(i) -
(iv) of this Paragraph D as of the date of such request.
|
(e) |
Payment
of Cash; Defaults.
Whenever the Corporation is required to make any cash payment to
a holder
under this Certificate of Designation (as payment of any Dividend,
upon
redemption or otherwise), such cash payment shall be made to the
holder
within five business days after delivery by such holder of a notice
specifying that the holder elects to receive such payment in cash
and the
method (e.g.,
by check, wire transfer) in which such payment should be made and
any
supporting documentation reasonably requested by the Corporation
to
substantiate the holder’s claim to such cash payment or the amount
thereof. If such payment is not delivered within such five business
day
period, such holder shall thereafter be entitled to interest on
the unpaid
amount at a per annum rate equal to the lower of twenty-four percent
(24%)
and the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law until
such
amount is paid in full to the
holder.
|
(f) |
Status
as Stockholder.
Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a holder of Series
C
Preferred Stock, (i) the shares covered thereby (other than the
shares, if
any, which cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed
such
holder’s allocated portion of the Reserved Amount or Cap Amount) shall
be
deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the holder’s rights
as a holder of such converted shares of Series C Preferred Stock
shall
cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates
for
such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein
or
otherwise available at law or in equity to such holder because
of a
failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate
of
Designation. In situations where Article VI.B is applicable, the
number of
shares of Common Stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of the
immediately preceding sentence shall be determined on the date
on which
such shares of Common Stock are delivered to the holder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if a holder has not received certificates for all
shares of
Common Stock prior to the sixth business day after the expiration
of the
Delivery Period with respect to a conversion of Series C Preferred
Stock
for any reason, then (unless the holder otherwise elects to retain
its
status as a holder of Common Stock by so notifying the Corporation
within
five business days after the expiration of such six business day
period
after expiration of the Delivery Period) the holder shall regain
the
rights of a holder of Series C Preferred Stock with respect to
such
unconverted shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the Corporation
shall,
as soon as practicable, return such unconverted shares to the holder.
In
all cases, the holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies
for the
Corporation’s failure to convert Series C Preferred
Stock.
|
(g) |
Remedies
Cumulative.
The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designation shall
be
cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under
this
Certificate of Designation, at law or in equity (including a decree
of
specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing
herein
shall limit a holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by
the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of
Designation. The Corporation acknowledges that a breach by it of
its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the holders
of Series
C Preferred Stock and that the remedy at law for any such breach
may be
inadequate. The Corporation therefore agrees, in the event of any
such
breach or threatened breach, that the holders of Series C Preferred
Stock
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.
|
(h) |
Waiver.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Certificate of Designation
to the
contrary, any provision contained herein and any right of the holders
of
Series C Preferred Stock granted hereunder may be waived as to
all shares
of Series C Preferred Stock (and the holders thereof) upon the
written
consent of the Majority Holders, unless a higher percentage is
required by
applicable law, in which case the written consent of the holders
of not
less than such higher percentage of shares of Series C Preferred
Stock
shall be required.
|
(i) |

Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms hereof
shall
be sent by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested)
or

Class
Voting Rights.
The Series G Preferred Stock shall have the following class voting
rights.
So long as any shares of the Series G Preferred Stock remain outstanding,
the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent
of the
holders of at least three-fourths (3/4) of the shares of the Series
G
Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, given in person or by
proxy,
either in writing or at a meeting, in which the holders of the
Series G
Preferred Stock vote separately as a class: (i) amend, alter or
repeal the
provisions of the Series G Preferred Stock so as to adversely affect
any
right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series G Preferred
Stock; or (ii) effect any distribution with respect to Junior Stock
except
that the Company may effect a distribution on the Common stock
if the
Company makes a like kind distribution on each share, or fraction
of a
share, of Series G Preferred Stock in an amount equal to the distribution
on one share of Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares
of Common
Stock into which such one share, or such fraction of a share, of
Series G
Preferred Stock can be converted at the time of such
distribution.
|
(a)
|
In
the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
affairs of
the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or
provision
for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Company and
after
payment or provision for payment of all amounts due to the holders
of any
Senior Stock, the holders of shares of the Series G Preferred Stock
then
outstanding shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of
the
Company, whether such assets are capital or surplus of any nature,
an
amount equal to $1,000.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference
Amount")
of the Series G Preferred Stock before any payment shall be made
or any
assets distributed to the holders of the Common Stock or any other
Junior
Stock. If the assets of the Company are sufficient to pay in part,
but are
not sufficient to pay in full, the Liquidation Preference Amount
payable
to the holders of outstanding shares of the Series G Preferred
Stock and
any Pari Passu Stock, then all of said assets available to pay
a part of
the Liquidation Preference Amount to the holders of the outstanding
shares
of Series G Preferred Stock and any Pari Passu Stock will be distributed
among the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock and the holders
of any
Pari Passu Stock, ratably in accordance with the respective amounts
that
would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon
were paid
in full. The Liquidation Preference Amount to be paid with respect
to any
fractional share of Series G Preferred Stock shall be equal to
the
Liquidation Preference Amount multiplied by such fraction. All
payments
for which this Section 4(a) provides shall be in cash, property
(valued at
its fair market value as determined by an independent appraiser
reasonably
acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Series G Preferred
Stock),
or a combination thereof; provided,
however,
that no cash shall be paid to holders of Junior Stock unless each
holder
of the outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock has been
paid in
cash the full Liquidation Preference Amount to which such holder
is
entitled as provided herein. After payment of the full Liquidation
Preference Amount to which each holder is entitled, such holders
of shares
of Series G Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further
participation as such in any distribution of the assets of the
Company.

(b)
|
A
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other
corporation
or corporations or any other entity, or a sale of all or substantially
all
of the assets of the Company, or the effectuation by the Company
of a
transaction or series of transactions in which more than 50%
of the voting
shares of the Company is disposed of or conveyed, shall not be
deemed to
be a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up within the meaning
of this
Section 4. The Company shall not, without the consent of three-fourths
(3/4) of the then outstanding Series G Preferred Stock, merge
or
consolidate with or into another corporation, unless the securities
of
such other corporation issued in exchange for the Series G Preferred
Stock
have substantially the same relative rights, preferences and
privileges as
the Series G Preferred Stock provided for
herein.
|
(c)
|
Written
notice of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution
or winding
up of the affairs of the Company, stating a payment date and
the place
where the distributable amounts shall be payable, shall be given
by mail,
postage prepaid, no less than forty-five (45) days prior to the
payment
date stated therein, to the holders of record of the Series G
Preferred
Stock at their respective addresses as the same shall appear
on the books
of the Company.
|
(a)
|
Right
to Convert.
At any time on or after the date on which shares of Series G Preferred
Stock are first issued (the "Issuance Date"), the holder of shares
of
Series G Preferred Stock may, at such holder's option, subject
to the
limitations set forth in Section 7 herein, elect to convert (a
"Voluntary
Conversion") all or any portion of the shares of Series G Preferred
Stock
held by such holder into a number of fully paid and nonassessable
shares
of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i)
the
Liquidation Preference Amount of the shares of Series G Preferred
Stock
being converted by (ii) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section
5(d)
below) then in effect as of the date of the delivery by such holder
of its
notice of election to convert. The Company shall keep written records
of
the conversion of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock converted
by each
holder. A holder shall be required to deliver the original certificates
representing the shares of Series G Preferred Stock upon any conversion
of
the Series G Preferred Stock as provided in Section 5(b)
below.
|
(b)
|
Mechanics
of Voluntary Conversion.
The Voluntary Conversion of Series G Preferred Stock shall be
conducted in
the following manner:
|
(i)
|
Holder's
Delivery Requirements.
To convert Series G Preferred Stock into full shares of Common
Stock on
any date (the "Voluntary Conversion Date"), the holder thereof
shall (A)
transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on
or prior to
5:00 p.m., New York time on such date, a copy of a fully executed
notice
of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Conversion
Notice"), to the Company, and (B) with respect to the conversion
of shares
of Series G Preferred Stock held by any holder, such holder shall
surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as
soon as
practicable following such Conversion Date, but in no event later
than six
(6) business days after such date, the original certificates
representing
the shares of Series G Preferred Stock being converted (or an
indemnification undertaking with respect to such shares in the
case of
their loss, theft or destruction) (the "Preferred Stock
Certificates").
|
(ii)
|
Company's
Response.
Upon receipt by the Company of a Conversion Notice (or a facsimile
copy
thereof), the Company shall immediately send, via facsimile,
a
confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the holder
that sent
such Conversion Notice (the "Converting Holder") and the Company
or its
designated transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent"), as applicable,
shall,
within three (3) business days following the date of receipt
by the
Company of the Converting Holder's Preferred Stock Certificates,
(x) issue
and deliver to the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") account on
the
Converting Holder's behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission
System ("DWAC") as specified in the Conversion Notice, registered
in the
name of the Converting Holder or its designee, for the number
of shares of
Common Stock to which the Converting Holder shall be entitled,
and (y) if
the Preferred Stock Certificates so surrendered represent more
shares of
Series G Preferred Stock than those being converted, issue and
deliver to
the Converting Holder a new certificate for such number of shares
of
Series G Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate
that
are not converted.
|
(iii)
|
Dispute
Resolution.
In the case of a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of
the number of
shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion, the Company
shall
promptly issue to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock
that is
not disputed and shall submit the arithmetic calculations to
the holder
via facsimile as soon as possible, but in no event later than
two (2)
business days after receipt of such holder's Conversion Notice.
If such
holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the arithmetic
calculation
of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such
conversion
within one (1) business day of such disputed arithmetic calculation
being
submitted to the holder, then the Company shall within one (1)
business
day submit via facsimile the disputed arithmetic calculation
of the number
of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion to
the
Company's independent, outside accountant. The Company shall
cause the
accountant to perform the calculations and notify the Company
and the
holder of the results no later than seventy-two (72) hours from
the time
it receives the disputed calculations. Such accountant's calculation
shall
be binding upon all parties absent manifest error. The reasonable
expenses
of such accountant in making such determination shall be paid
by the
Company, in the event the holder's calculation was correct, or
by the
holder, in the event the Company's calculation was correct, or
equally by
the Company and the holder in the event that neither the Company's
or the
holder's calculation was correct. The period of time in which
the Company
is required to effect conversions under this Certificate of Designation
shall be tolled with respect to the subject conversion pending
resolution
of any dispute by the Company made in good faith and in accordance
with
this Section 5(b)(iii).
|
(iv)
|
Record
Holder.
The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common
Stock
issuable upon a conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock shall
be
treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such
shares of
Common Stock on the Conversion
Date.
|
(c)
|
Mandatory
Conversion
|
(i)
|
Upon
the Company's written request a holder of Series G Preferred
Stock shall
advise the Company in writing the number of shares of Common
Stock that
are beneficially owned by such holder, not counting shares of
Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of any Series G Preferred Stock held
by such
holder. Beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance
with
Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and the
rules promulgated thereunder. If the shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by such holder (excluding shares of Common Stock issuable
upon
conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock) amount to less than
9.99% of
the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time, the Company
may, at
its option, compel such holder, by written notice to such holder
(the
"Mandatory Conversion Notice"), to convert such portion of the
Series G
Preferred Stock owned by such holder into shares of Common Stock
such that
the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by such
holder after such conversion shall equal up to 9.99%, but not
more, of the
shares of Common Stock outstanding after such
conversion.
|
(ii)
|
As
used herein, a "Mandatory Conversion Date" shall be the date
when the
Mandatory Conversion Notice shall be deemed delivered pursuant
to Section
5(i). The Mandatory Conversion Date and the Voluntary Conversion
Date
collectively are referred to in this Certificate of Designation
as the
"Conversion Date."
|
(iii)
|
Each
share of Series G Preferred Stock outstanding on the Mandatory
Conversion
Date shall, automatically and without any action on the part
of the holder
thereof, convert into a number of fully paid and nonassessable
shares of
Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the
Liquidation Preference Amount of the shares of Series G Preferred
Stock
outstanding on the Mandatory Conversion Date by (y) the Conversion
Price
in effect on the Mandatory Conversion Date; provided,
however,
that the Company shall not be obligated to issue the shares of
Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series G Preferred
Stock
unless the Preferred Stock Certificates representing such shares
of Series
G Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Company or the
holder
notifies the Company that such Preferred Stock 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 occurrence of any mandatory conversion
of
the Series G Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5(c), each
affected
holder of Series G Preferred Stock shall surrender the Preferred
Stock
Certificates representing the Series G Preferred Stock for which
the
Mandatory Conversion Date has occurred to the Company and the
Company
shall deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
(in
the same manner set forth in Section 5(b)(ii)) to such holder
within three
(3) business days of such holder's delivery of the applicable
Preferred
Stock Certificates. If the Preferred Stock Certificates so surrendered
represent more shares of Series G Preferred Stock than those
being
converted, the Company shall issue to such holder a new certificate
for
such number of Series G Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered
certificates which were not
converted.
|
(d)
|
Conversion
Price.
The term "Conversion Price" shall mean $.50,
subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5(e)
hereof.
|
(e)
|
Adjustments
of Conversion Price
|
(i)
|
Adjustments
for Stock Splits and Combinations.
If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the
Issuance
Date, effect a stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the
Conversion
Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall
at any time
or from time to time after the Issuance Date, combine the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately
increased. Any adjustments under this Section 5(e)(i) shall be
effective
at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination
occurs.
|
(ii)
|
Adjustments
for Certain Dividends and Distributions.
If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the
Issuance
Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination
of holders
of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution
payable in shares of Common Stock, then, and in each such event,
the
Conversion Price shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance
or, in
the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close
of
business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price
then in
effect by a fraction:
(1)
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
(2)
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.
|
(iii)
|
Adjustment
for Other Dividends and Distributions.
If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the
Issuance
Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination
of holders
of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution
payable in securities of the Company other than shares of Common
Stock,
then, and in each such event, an appropriate adjustment to the
Conversion
Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments
of the
Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holders of Series G
Preferred
Stock shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the
number of
shares of Common Stock receivable thereon, the number of securities
of the
Company which they would have received had their Series G Preferred
Stock
been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and
had
thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and
including
the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any
distributions payable thereon during such period), giving application
to
all adjustments called for during such period under this Section
5(e)(iii)
with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series G Preferred
Stock.
|
(iv)
|
Adjustments
for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution.
If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series G
Preferred
Stock at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date
shall be
changed to the same or different number of shares of any class
or classes
of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution
or otherwise
(other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares
or stock
dividends provided for in Sections 5(e)(i), (ii) and (iii), or
a
reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided
for in
Section 5(e)(v)), then, and in each such event, an appropriate
adjustment
to the Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be
made so that
the holder of each share of Series G Preferred Stock shall have
the right
thereafter to convert such share of Series G Preferred Stock
into the kind
and amount of shares of stock and other securities receivable
upon
reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by
holders of
the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of
Series G
Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to
such
reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all
subject to
further adjustment as provided
herein.
|
(v)
|
Adjustments
for Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of
Assets.
If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there
shall be
a capital reorganization of the Company (other than by way of
a stock
split or combination of shares or stock dividends or distributions
provided for in Section 5(e)(i), (ii) and (iii), or a reclassification,
exchange or substitution of shares provided for in Section 5(e)(iv)),
or a
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation,
or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's properties
or
assets to any other person (an "Organic Change"), then as a part
of such
Organic Change an appropriate adjustment to the Conversion Price
shall be
made and provision shall be made so that the holder of each share
of
Series G Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert
such
share of Series G Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of
shares of
stock and other securities or property of the Company or any
successor
corporation resulting from the Organic Change. In any such case,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the
provisions
of this Section 5(e)(v) with respect to the rights of the holders
of the
Series G Preferred Stock after the Organic Change to the end
that the
provisions of this Section 5(e)(v) (including any adjustment
in the
Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares of stock
or other
securities deliverable upon conversion of the Series G Preferred
Stock)
shall be applied after that event in as nearly an equivalent
manner as may
be practicable.
|
(vi)
|
Record
Date.
In case the Company shall take record of the holders of its Common
Stock
or any other Preferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them
to
subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or other securities convertible
into Common Stock ("Convertible Securities"), then the date of
the issue
or sale of the shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be such
record
date.
|
(f)
|
No
Impairment.
The Company shall 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 Company, 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 G Preferred Stock against impairment. In the event
a holder
shall elect to convert any shares of Series G Preferred Stock
as provided
herein, the Company shall not refuse conversion based on any
claim that
such holder or any one associated or affiliated with such holder
has been
engaged in any violation of law, unless, an injunction from a
court, on
notice, restraining and/or adjoining conversion of all or of
said shares
of Series G Preferred Stock shall have been issued and the Company
posts a
surety bond for the benefit of such holder in an amount equal
to 130% of
the Liquidation Preference Amount of the Series G Preferred Stock
such
holder has elected to convert, 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 in the event it obtains
judgment.
|
(g)
|
Certificates
as to Adjustments.
Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion
Price
or number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the Series
G Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5, the Company at
its expense
shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance
with
the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Series G Preferred
Stock a
certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing
in
detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is
based. The
Company shall, upon written request of the holder of Series G
Preferred
Stock, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to such
holder a like
certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments,
the
Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of shares
of Common
Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property
which at the
time would be received upon the conversion of a share of such
Series G
Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
not be
obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would
reflect
an increase or decrease of at least one percent of such adjusted
amount.
|
(h)
|
Issue
Taxes.
The Company shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding
federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in
respect of
any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion
of shares of
Series G Preferred Stock pursuant thereto; provided, however,
that the
Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting
from
any transfer requested by any holder in connection with any such
conversion.
|
(i)
|
Notices.
All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing
and
shall be deemed given if delivered personally or by facsimile
or three (3)
business days following (x) being mailed by certified or registered
mail,
postage prepaid, return-receipt requested, or (y) delivered to
an express
mail delivery service such as Federal Express, with written receipt
by the
addressee required, in either case addressed to the holder of
record at
its address appearing on the books of the Company. The Company
will give
written notice to each holder of Series G Preferred Stock at
least twenty
(20) 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
Organic Change, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and in
no event
shall such notice be provided to such holder prior to such information
being made known to the public. The Company will also give written
notice
to each holder of Series G Preferred Stock at least twenty (20)
days prior
to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution, liquidation
or
winding-up will take place and in no event shall such notice
be provided
to such holder prior to such information being made known to
the
public.
|
(j)
|
Fractional
Shares.
No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion
of
the Series G Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares
to which
the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay
cash equal
to the product of such fraction multiplied by the average of
the Closing
Bid Prices of the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive trading
days
immediately preceding the Voluntary Conversion Date or Mandatory
Conversion Date, as
applicable.
|
(k)
|
Reservation
of Common Stock.
The Company shall, so long as any shares of Series G Preferred
Stock are
outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized
and unissued
Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion
of the
Series G Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock
as shall
from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
of the
Series G Preferred Stock then
outstanding.
|
(l)
|
Retirement
of Series G Preferred Stock.
Conversion of Series G Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have
been
effected on the applicable Voluntary Conversion Date or Mandatory
Conversion Date. The Company shall keep written records of the
conversion
of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock converted by each holder.
A
holder shall be required to deliver the original certificates
representing
the shares of Series G Preferred Stock upon any conversion of
the Series G
Preferred Stock represented by such
certificates.
|
(m)
|
Regulatory
Compliance.
If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose
of conversion
of Series G Preferred Stock require registration or listing with
or
approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other
regulatory
body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise
before such
shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the
Company
shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously
as
possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval,
as
the case may be.
|
(a)
|
Holder's
Option if Company Cannot Fully Convert.
If, upon the Company's receipt of a Conversion Notice the Company
cannot
issue shares of Common Stock for any reason, including, without
limitation, because the Company (x) does not have a sufficient
number of
shares of Common Stock authorized and available for issuance or
(y) is
otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or regulations
of
any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory
organization with jurisdiction over the Company or its securities,
from
issuing all of the Common Stock which is to be issued to a holder
of
Series G Preferred Stock pursuant to a Conversion Notice, then
the Company
shall issue as many shares of Common Stock as it is able to issue
in
accordance with such holder's Conversion Notice and, with respect
to the
unconverted Series G Preferred Stock (the "Unconverted Preferred
Stock"),
the holder, solely at such holder's option, may elect, at any time
after
receipt of notice from the Company that there is Unconverted Preferred
Stock, to void the holder's Conversion Notice as to the number
of shares
of Common Stock the Company is unable to issue (the "Unissued Shares
of
Common Stock") and retain or have returned, as the case may be,
the
certificates for the shares of the Unconverted Preferred
Stock.
|
(b)
|
Mechanics
of Fulfilling Holder's Election.
The Company shall immediately send via facsimile to a holder
of Series G
Preferred Stock, upon receipt of a facsimile copy of a Conversion
Notice
from such holder which cannot be fully satisfied as described
in Section
8(a) above, a notice of the Company's inability to fully satisfy
such
holder's Conversion Notice (the "Inability to Fully Convert Notice").
Such
Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason
why the
Company is unable to fully satisfy such holder's Conversion Notice
and
(ii) the number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock which cannot
be
converted.
|
(c)
|
Pro-Rata
Conversion.
In the event the Company within a period of ten days receives
Conversion
Notices from more than one holder of Series G Preferred Stock
and the
Company can convert some, but not all, of the Series G Preferred
Stock
required to be converted as a result of such Conversion Notices,
the
Company shall convert from each holder of Series G Preferred
Stock
electing to have Series G Preferred Stock converted within such
ten day
period, an amount equal to the number of shares of Series G Preferred
Stock such holder elected to have converted in such ten day period
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
number of
shares of Series G Preferred Stock such holder elected to have
converted
in such ten day period and the denominator of which shall be
the total
number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock all holders elected
to have
converted in such ten day period. The Company shall not convert
any Series
G Preferred Stock pursuant to a Mandatory Conversion Notice until
it shall
have converted all Series G Preferred Stock pursuant to any Conversion
Notice.
