RESOLVED, that the Company is authorized to issue five thousand (5,000) shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series B Preferred Shares"), which shall have the following powers, designations, preferences and other special rights:
(1) Ranking. The Series B Preferred Shares shall rank prior and superior to all of the Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Company with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. The rights of the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company shall be of junior rank to and subject to the preferences and relative rights of the Series B Preferred Shares.
(2) Liquidation. In the event of a Liquidation Event, holders of Series B Preferred Shares (each, a "Holder" and collectively, the "Holders") shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its shareholders (the "Liquidation Funds") upon such Liquidation Event, but before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any of the capital stock of the Company of any class junior in rank to the Series B Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments upon such Liquidation Event (such stock being referred to hereinafter collectively as "Junior Stock"), an amount per Series B Preferred Share equal to the Conversion Amount; provided that, if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the Holders and holders of shares of other classes or series of preferred stock of the Company that are of equal rank with the Series B Preferred Shares as to payments of Liquidation Funds (such stock being referred to hereinafter collectively as "Pari Passu Stock"), if any, then each Holder and each holder of any such Pari Passu Stock shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder as a liquidation preference, in accordance with their respective Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights, as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all holders of Series B Preferred Shares and Pari Passu Stock. After the foregoing distributions, the Holders shall be entitled, on a pari passu basis with the holders of Common Stock and treating for the purpose thereof all of the Series B Preferred Shares as having been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 4, to participate in the distribution of any remaining assets of the Company to the holders of the outstanding Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage (as defined in Section 4(e)). To the extent necessary, the Company shall cause such actions to be taken by any of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this Section. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Company to the holders of, shares of other classes or series of preferred stock of the Company junior in rank to the Series B Preferred Shares in connection with a Liquidation Event as to which this Section applies. The purchase or redemption by the Company of stock of any class, in any manner permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be regarded as a Liquidation Event.
(3) Dividends.
(a) From and after the first date of issuance of any Series B Preferred Shares (the "Issuance Date"), the Holders shall be entitled to receive dividends per Series B Preferred Share when, as and if declared by the Board.
(b) In addition to the dividends, if any, referred to in Section 3(a), from and after the Issuance Date, the Holders shall be entitled to receive such dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if such Holders had converted the Series B Preferred Shares into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion, including, without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) and had held such shares of Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Stock. Following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event and the payment in full to a Holder of its applicable liquidation preference as set forth in Section 2 above, such Holder shall cease to have any rights hereunder to participate in any future dividends or distributions made to the holders of Common Stock. The Company shall not declare or pay any dividends on any Junior Stock or Pari Passu Stock unless the Holders of Series B Preferred Shares then outstanding shall simultaneously receive a dividend on a pro rata basis as if the Series B Preferred Shares had been converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 immediately prior to the record date for determining the shareholders eligible to receive such dividends. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a Holder's right to participate in any such dividend or distribution pursuant to this Section 3 would result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such dividend or distribution (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and the portion of such dividend or distribution shall be held in abeyance for such Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times such Holder shall be granted such rights (and any rights under this Section 3 on such initial rights or on any subsequent such rights to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation.
(4) Conversion of Series B Preferred Shares. Series B Preferred Shares shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.
(a) Holder's Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(e), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, any Holder shall be entitled to convert any whole number of Series B Preferred Shares, plus the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends per Series B Preferred Share then remaining, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Section 4 at the Conversion Rate (as defined below).
(b) Conversion. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each Series B Preferred Share pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be determined according to the following formula (the "Conversion Rate"):
Conversion Amount
Conversion Price
No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the conversion of any Series B Preferred Share, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The applicable Conversion Rate and Conversion Price from time to time in effect is subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of Series B Preferred Shares shall be conducted in the following manner:
(i) Holder's Delivery Requirements. To convert Series B Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock on any date (a "Conversion Date"), a Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile or electronic mail (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on such date, a copy of a properly completed notice of conversion executed by the registered Holder of the Series B Preferred Shares subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Conversion Notice") to the Company and (B) if required by Section 4(c)(vii), but without delaying the Company's requirement to deliver shares of Common Stock on the applicable Share Delivery Date (as defined below), surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such date the original certificates representing the Series B Preferred Shares being converted (or compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 15) (the "Series B Preferred Stock Certificates"). No ink-original Conversion Notice shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Conversion Notice form be required.
(ii) Company's Response. Upon receipt by the Company of copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall (I) as soon as practicable, but in any event within one (1) Trading Day, send, via facsimile or electronic mail, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Company's transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent"), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein and (II) on or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date of receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice (a "Share Delivery Date"), (1) provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program in accordance with Section 2(g) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled to such Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian ("DWAC") system, or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of such Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled. If the number of Series B Preferred Shares represented by the Series B Preferred Stock Certificate(s) submitted for conversion, as may be required pursuant to Section 4(c)(vii), is greater than the number of Series B Preferred Shares being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Series B Preferred Stock Certificate(s) (the "Preferred Stock Delivery Date") and at its own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder a new Series B Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of Series B Preferred Shares not converted.
(iii) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Closing Bid Price or the Closing Sale Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Conversion Price or any Redemption Price, the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile or electronic mail within two (2) Business Days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the Conversion Notice or Redemption Notice or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the applicable Holder. If such Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within three (3) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to such Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Day submit via facsimile or electronic mail (a) the disputed determination of the Closing Bid Price or the Closing Sale Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by such Holder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, Conversion Price or any Redemption Price to an independent, outside accountant, selected by the Company and approved by such Holder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company, at the Company's expense, shall cause the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the applicable Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank's or accountant's determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.
(iv) Record Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Series B Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
(v) Company's Failure to Timely Convert.
(A) Cash Damages. If within three (3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of the facsimile or electronic mail copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to credit a Holder's balance account with DTC or issue and deliver a certificate to such Holder for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion of Series B Preferred Shares in accordance with Section 2(g) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, then in addition to all other available remedies which such holder may pursue hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, including any indemnification provisions therein, the Company shall pay additional damages to such Holder for each day after the applicable Share Delivery Date that such conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the product of (I) the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to such Holder on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date and to which such Holder is entitled as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice and (II) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by the applicable Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Conversion Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Date In addition to the foregoing, if on the applicable Share Delivery Date, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to a Holder or credit such Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion of Series B Preferred Shares, and if on or after the Share Delivery Date such Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale through a broker by such Holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that such Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after such Holder's request and in such Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to such Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to such Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by such Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Conversion Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Date. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(B) Void Conversion Notice. If for any reason a Holder has not received all of the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled prior to the fifth (5th) Trading Day after the applicable Share Delivery Date with respect to a conversion of Series B Preferred Shares, then such Holder, upon written notice to the Company, with a copy to the Transfer Agent, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any Series B Preferred Shares that have not been converted pursuant to such Holder's Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Holder's Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 4(c)(v)(A) or otherwise.
(vi) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such Series B Preferred Shares, the Company shall convert from each Holder electing to have Series B Preferred Shares converted at such time a pro rata amount of such Holder's Series B Preferred Shares submitted for conversion based on the number of Series B Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the number of Series B Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Series B Preferred Shares, the Company shall issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 4(c)(iii).
(vii) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of Series B Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, a Holder thereof shall not be required to physically surrender the certificate representing the Series B Preferred Shares to the Company unless (A) the full or remaining number of Series B Preferred Shares represented by the certificate are being converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver such stock certificate to the Company as soon as practicable following such conversion or (B) a Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of Series B Preferred Shares upon physical surrender of any Series B Preferred Shares. Each Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Series B Preferred Shares so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holders and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of the certificate representing the Series B Preferred Shares upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company establishing the number of Series B Preferred Shares to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Series B Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted as aforesaid, a Holder may not transfer the certificate representing the Series B Preferred Shares unless such Holder first physically surrenders the certificate representing the Series B Preferred Shares to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new certificate of like tenor, registered as such Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining number of Series B Preferred Shares represented by such certificate. A Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Series B Preferred Shares, the number of Series B Preferred Shares represented by such certificate may be less than the number of Series B Preferred Shares stated on the face thereof. Each certificate for Series B Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend:
ANY TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SERIES B PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 4(c)(vii) THEREOF. THE NUMBER OF SERIES B PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF SERIES B PREFERRED SHARES STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 4(c)(vii) OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SERIES B PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.
(d) Mandatory Conversion at the Company's Election. At any time from and after the Issuance Date, the Company shall have the right, so long no Equity Conditions Failure has occurred during the applicable Equity Conditions Measuring Period relating to the applicable Mandatory Conversion (as defined below), to require all, but not less than all, Holders of Series B Preferred Shares to convert all, or any portion, of up to the Conversion Amount then remaining under the Series B Preferred Shares, as designated in the applicable Mandatory Conversion Notice on the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date (each as defined below) into fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 4(c) hereof at the Conversion Rate as of the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date (a "Mandatory Conversion"). The Company may exercise its right to require conversion under this Section 4(d) by delivering within not more than five (5) Trading Days following the end of the applicable Equity Conditions Measuring Period a written notice thereof by facsimile or electronic mail and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, Holders of Series B Preferred Shares and the Transfer Agent (a "Mandatory Conversion Notice" and the date all Holders received such notice is referred to as a "Mandatory Conversion Notice Date"). The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable. A Mandatory Conversion Notice shall (i) state (a) the Trading Day on which the Mandatory Conversion shall occur, which Trading Day shall not be less than ten (10) Trading Days nor more than twelve (12) Trading Days following the applicable Mandatory Conversion Notice Date (the "Mandatory Conversion Date"), (b) the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Series B Preferred Shares which the Company has elected to be subject to Mandatory Conversion from such Holder and all of the Holders of the Series B Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 4(d) and (c) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such Holder on the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date and (ii) certify that there has been no Equity Conditions Failure on any day during the period beginning on the first day of the Equity Conditions Measuring Period prior to the applicable Mandatory Conversion Notice Date through the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date. If the Company confirmed that there was no such Equity Conditions Failure as of the applicable Mandatory Conversion Notice Date but an Equity Conditions Failure occurs between the applicable Mandatory Conversion Notice Date and any time through the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date (a "Mandatory Conversion Interim Period"), the Company shall provide each Holder a subsequent notice to that effect. If there is an Equity Conditions Failure (which is not waived in writing by such Holder (provided that the Equity Condition set forth in clause (iv) of the definition of "Equity Conditions" shall not be waivable by a Holder)) during such Mandatory Conversion Interim Period, then the Mandatory Conversion shall be null and void with respect to all or any part designated by such Holder of the unconverted Conversion Amount subject to the Mandatory Conversion and such Holder shall be entitled to all the rights of a holder of Series B Preferred Shares with respect to such Conversion Amount. The Company may effect only four (4) Mandatory Conversions under this Certificate of Designations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(d), until the Mandatory Conversion has occurred, the Conversion Amount subject to the Mandatory Conversion may be converted, in whole or in part, by a Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4(c). All Conversion Amounts converted by a Holder after a Mandatory Conversion Notice Date shall reduce the Conversion Amount of the Series B Preferred Shares required to be converted on the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date, unless such Holder otherwise indicates in the applicable Conversion Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company elects to cause a Mandatory Conversion pursuant to this Section 4(d), then it must simultaneously take the same action in the same proportion with respect to all Series B Preferred Shares.
(e) Beneficial Ownership Limitation on Conversions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not affect the conversion of any portion of Series B Preferred Shares, and no Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of Series B Preferred Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Certificate of Designations and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, such Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Holder and its other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder and all of its other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted Series B Preferred Shares beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including the Warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 4(e). For purposes of this Section 4(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock a Holder may acquire upon the conversion of Series B Preferred Shares without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, such Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the "Reported Outstanding Share Number"). If the Company receives a Conversion Notice from a Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify such Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause such Holder's beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 4(e), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, such Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such Conversion Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of any Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Series B Preferred Shares, by such Holder and any of its other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to a Holder upon exercise of such Holder's Series B Preferred Shares results in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which such Holder's and its other Attribution Parties' aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the "Excess Shares") shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and such Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, any Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder and its other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Series B Preferred Shares that is not an Attribution Party. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B Preferred Shares in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by a Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(e) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 4(e) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of Series B Preferred Shares.
(f) Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares shall be made without charge to the Holders for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates.
(g) Adjustments to Conversion Price. The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4(g).
(i) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Subscription Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 4(g)(i) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold in connection with any Excluded Securities) for a consideration per share (the "New Issuance Price") less than a price (the "Applicable Price") equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale (the foregoing, a "Dilutive Issuance"), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 4(g)(i), the following shall be applicable:
(A) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 4(g)(i)(A), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option less any consideration paid or payable by the Company with respect to such one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(B) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 4(g)(i)(B), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange " shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security less any consideration paid or payable by the Company with respect to such one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 4(g)(i), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
(C) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 4(g)(i)(C), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Subscription Date are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 4(g)(i) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.
(D) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) the Options will be deemed to have been issued for the Option Value of such Options and (y) the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued or sold for the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company less any consideration paid or payable by the Company pursuant to the terms of such other securities of the Company, less (II) the Option Value of such Options. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received or receivable therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Closing Sale Price of such publicly traded securities on the date of receipt of such publicly traded securities. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(E) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (I) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (II) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
(F) No Readjustments. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Conversion Price has been adjusted pursuant to this Section 4(g)(i) and the Dilutive Issuance that triggered such adjustment does not occur, is not consummated, is unwound or is cancelled after the facts for any reason whatsoever, in no event shall the Conversion Price be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect if such Dilutive Issuance had not occurred or been consummated.
(ii) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. The Company may at any time, with the prior written consent of the Required Holders, reduce the then current Conversion Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board.
(iii) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 4(g)(iii) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(iv) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4(g) but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Board will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price, as mutually determined by the Board of Directors and the Required Holders, so as to protect the rights of the Holders; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 4(g)(iv) will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 4(g).
(h) Notices.
(i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 4(g), the Company will give written notice thereof to each Holder, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of such adjustment, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4(c)(iii).
(ii) The Company will give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (I) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (II) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (III) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction or Liquidation Event, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such Holder.
(iii) The Company will also give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which any Fundamental Transaction or Liquidation Event will take place, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such Holder.
(5) Redemption at Option of Holders.
(a) Triggering Event. A "Triggering Event" shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following events:

(iv) at any time following the tenth (10th) consecutive Business Day that a Holder's Authorized Share Allocation (as defined in Section 8(b)) is less than 130% of the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder would be entitled to receive upon a conversion of the full Conversion Amount of the Series B Preferred Shares (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in Section 4(e) or otherwise) and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder would be entitled to receive upon exercise in full of such Holder's Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercise set forth in the Warrants);
(v) the Company's failure to pay to such Holder any amounts when and as due pursuant to this Certificate of Designations or any other Transaction Document;

(ix) a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money aggregating in excess of $100,000 are rendered against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and which judgments are not, within thirty (30) days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such stay; provided, however, that any judgment which is covered by insurance or an indemnity from a credit worthy party shall not be included in calculating the $100,000 amount set forth above so long as the Company provides the Holders with a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider (which written statement shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders) to the effect that such judgment is covered by insurance or an indemnity and the Company will receive the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within thirty (30) days of the issuance of such judgment;
(x) other than as specifically set forth in another clause of this Section 5(a), the Company breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction Document, except, in the case of a breach of a covenant which is curable, only if such breach remains uncured for a period of at least five (5) Business Days;

(xiii) the Company's failure for any reason after the Issuance Date to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c).
(b) Redemption Option Upon Triggering Event. In addition to all other rights of the Holders contained herein, at any time after the earlier of a Holder's receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event and a Holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event, such Holder shall have the right, at such Holder's option, to require the Company to redeem (a "Triggering Event Redemption") all or a portion of such Holder's Series B Preferred Shares at a price per Series B Preferred Share equal to the greater of (A) 115% of the Conversion Amount and (B) the product of (1) the Conversion Rate in effect at such time as such Holder delivers a Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder (as defined below) and (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on the date immediately preceding such Triggering Event and ending on the date such Holder delivers the Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder (the "Triggering Event Redemption Price").
(c) Mechanics of Triggering Event Redemption at Option of Buyer. Within one (1) Business Day after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile or electronic mail and overnight courier ("Notice of Triggering Event") to each Holder. At any time after the earlier of a Holder's receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event and such Holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event, any Holder of Series B Preferred Shares then outstanding may require the Company to redeem up to all of such Holder's Series B Preferred Shares by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile or electronic mail and overnight courier ("Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder") to the Company, which Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder shall indicate the number of Series B Preferred Shares that such Holder is electing to redeem.
(d) Payment of Triggering Event Redemption Price. Upon the Company's receipt of a Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of Holder from any Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day of such receipt notify each other Holder by facsimile or electronic mail of the Company's receipt of such notice(s). The Company shall deliver on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Company's receipt of the first Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder (the "Triggering Event Redemption Date") by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price to all Holders that deliver a Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Company's receipt of the first Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Series B Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. If the Company is unable to redeem all of the Series B Preferred Shares submitted for redemption, the Company shall (i) redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder based on the number of Series B Preferred Shares submitted for redemption by such Holder relative to the total number of Series B Preferred Shares submitted for redemption by all Holders and (ii) in addition to any remedy such Holder may have under this Certificate of Designations, pay to each Holder interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for partial months) in respect of each unredeemed Series B Preferred Share until paid in full. The Holders and Company agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any Series B Preferred Shares under this Section 5, the Holders' damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holders. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 5 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holders' actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
(e) Disputes; Miscellaneous. In the event of a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation of any Triggering Event Redemption Price, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 4(c)(iii) above with the term "Redemption Price" being substituted for the term "Conversion Rate". A Holder's delivery of a Void Optional Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice. In the event of a redemption pursuant to this Certificate of Designations of less than all of the Series B Preferred Shares represented by a particular Series B Preferred Stock Certificate, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder of such Series B Preferred Shares a Series B Preferred Stock Certificate representing the remaining Series B Preferred Shares which have not been redeemed, if necessary.
(6) Redemption by the Company.
(a) General. Other than as specifically permitted by this Certificate of Designations, the Company may not redeem any of the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares and any unpaid dividends thereon.
(b) Insufficient Assets. If upon a Redemption Date, the assets of the Company are insufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price for each Series B Preferred Share to be redeemed, the Company shall (i) take all appropriate action reasonably within its means to maximize the assets available for paying the applicable Redemption Price, (ii) redeem out of all such assets available therefor on the applicable Redemption Date the maximum possible number of Series B Preferred Shares that it can redeem on such date, pro rata among the Holders to be redeemed in proportion to the aggregate number of Series B Preferred Shares then held by each such Holder on the applicable Redemption Date and (iii) following the applicable Redemption Date, at any time and from time to time when additional assets of the Company become available to redeem the remaining Series B Preferred Shares, the Company shall use such assets, at the end of the then current fiscal quarter, to redeem the balance of such Series B Preferred Shares, or such portion thereof for which assets are then available, on the basis set forth above at the applicable Redemption Price, and such assets will not be used prior to the end of such fiscal quarter for any other purpose. The Company shall pay to each Holder the applicable Redemption Price for each Series B Preferred Share without regard to the legal availability of funds unless expressly prohibited by applicable law or unless the payment of such Redemption Price could reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to the directors of the Company.
(c) Void Redemption. In the event that the Company does not pay a Redemption Price within the applicable time period, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid applicable Redemption Price in full, a Holder shall have the option to, in lieu of redemption, require the Company to promptly return to such Holder any or all of the Series B Preferred Shares that were submitted for redemption by such Holder and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Company via facsimile or electronic mail (the "Void Optional Redemption Notice"). Upon the Company's receipt of such Void Optional Redemption Notice, (i) the Redemption Notice of Holder shall be null and void with respect to those Series B Preferred Shares subject to the Void Optional Redemption Notice, (ii) the Company shall immediately return any Series B Preferred Shares subject to the Void Optional Redemption Notice and (iii) the Conversion Price of such returned Series B Preferred Shares shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Void Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company and (B) the lowest Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on the date on which the applicable Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company and ending on the date on which the applicable Void Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company.
(7) Other Rights of Holders.
(a) Change of Control Redemption Right. No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile or electronic mail and overnight courier to the Holders (a "Change of Control Notice") setting forth a description of such transaction in reasonable detail and the anticipated Change of Control Redemption Date if then known. At any time during the period (the "Change of Control Period") beginning after a Holder's receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending on the date that is twenty (20) Trading Days after the consummation of such Change of Control, such Holder may require the Company to redeem (a "Change of Control Redemption") all or any portion of such Holder's Series B Preferred Shares by delivering written notice thereof ("Change of Control Redemption Notice") to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount such Holder is electing to redeem. Any Series B Preferred Shares subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to greater of (i) 115% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (ii) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (B) the quotient determined by dividing (1) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock during the period beginning on the date immediately preceding the earlier to occur of (x) the consummation of the Change of Control and (y) the public announcement of such Change of Control and ending on the date the Holder delivers the Change of Control Redemption Notice, by (II) the lowest Conversion Price in effect during such period (the "Change of Control Redemption Price"). The Company shall make payment of the Change of Control Redemption Price concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such a Change of Control Redemption Notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within five (5) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of such notice otherwise (the "Change of Control Redemption Date"). To the extent redemptions required by this Section 7(a) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Series B Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7(a), until the Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 7(a) may be converted, in whole or in part, by a Holder into shares of Common Stock, or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of the Change of Control, shares or equity interests of the Successor Entity substantially equivalent to the Company's Common Stock pursuant to Section 4(c). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of the Series B Preferred Shares under this Section 7(a), the Holders' damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holders. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 7(a) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holders' actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. In the event that the Company does not pay the Change of Control Redemption Price on the Change of Control Redemption Date, then the Holders shall have the right to void the redemption pursuant to Section 6(c).
(b) Assumption. In connection with any Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each Holder of Series B Preferred Shares in exchange for such Series B Preferred Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Certificate of Designations including, without limitation, having a stated value equal to the Stated Value and having similar conversion rights, dividend rights and ranking to the Series B Preferred Shares, and satisfactory to the Required Holders. In connection with any Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that any security issuable or potentially issuable to the Holders pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations on the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction shall be registered and freely tradable by the Holders without any restriction or limitation or the requirement to be subject to any holding period pursuant to any applicable securities laws. No later than (i) thirty (30) days prior to the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction or (ii) if later, the first Trading Day following the date the Company first becomes aware of the occurrence or potential occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile or electronic mail and overnight courier to the Holders. In connection with any Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that upon the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction, and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction that, the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall succeed to, and the Company shall cause any Successor Entity or Successor Entities to jointly and severally succeed to, and be added to the term "Company" under this Certificate of Designations (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Certificate of Designations referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Certificate of Designations with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company in this Certificate of Designations; and, solely at the request of a Holder, if the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities is a publicly traded corporation whose common capital stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market, shall deliver (in addition to and without limiting any right under this Certificate of Designations) to such Holder in exchange for such Holder's Series B Preferred Shares a security of the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Series B Preferred Shares and convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities (the "Successor Capital Stock") equivalent (as set forth below) to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of such Holder's Series B Preferred Shares (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares set forth in this Certificate of Designations) prior to such Fundamental Transaction (such corresponding number of shares of Successor Capital Stock to be delivered to the Holders shall equal the greater of (I) the quotient of (A) the aggregate dollar value of all consideration (including cash consideration and any consideration other than cash ("Non-Cash Consideration"), in such Fundamental Transaction, as such values are set forth in any definitive agreement for the Fundamental Transaction that has been executed at the time of the first public announcement of the Fundamental Transaction or, if no such value is determinable from such definitive agreement, as determined in accordance with Section 4(c)(iii) with the term "Non-Cash Consideration" being substituted for the term "Conversion Price") that such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction, had such Holder's Series B Preferred Shares been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares) (the "Aggregate Consideration") divided by (B) the per share Closing Sale Price of such corresponding Successor Capital Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation or occurrence of the Fundamental Transaction and (II) the product of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Aggregate Consideration, by (y) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation or occurrence of the Fundamental Transaction and (B) the highest exchange ratio pursuant to which any shareholder of the Company may exchange Common Stock for Successor Capital Stock) (provided, however, to the extent that a Holder's right to receive any such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity would result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to receive such shares to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity as a result of such consideration to such extent) and the portion of such shares shall be held in abeyance for such Holder until such time or times, as its right thereto would not result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times such Holder shall be delivered such shares to the extent as if there had been no such limitation), and such security shall be satisfactory to such Holder, and with an identical conversion price to the Conversion Price hereunder (such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting after the consummation or occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction the economic value of the Series B Preferred Shares that was in effect immediately prior to the consummation or occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, as elected by such Holder solely at its option). Upon occurrence or consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that, the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall deliver to each Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares at any time after the occurrence or consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, as elected by a Holder solely at its option, shares of Common Stock, Successor Capital Stock or, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock or Successor Capital Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property purchasable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares prior to such Fundamental Transaction), such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights), which for purposes of clarification may continue to be shares of Common Stock, if any, that such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction, had such Holder's Series B Preferred Shares been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations. The provisions of this Section 7(b) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares. Any failure on the part of the Company (or a Successor Entity) to achieve the foregoing requirements, despite the use of best efforts and good faith, shall not be deemed to be a default or breach of this Certificate of Designations by the Company (or a Successor Entity).
(c) Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities, cash, assets or other property with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a "Corporate Event"), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that, and any applicable Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall ensure that, and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of such Corporate Event that, such Holder will thereafter have the right to receive at its option upon surrender of such Holder's Series B Preferred Shares upon the occurrence or consummation of the Corporate Event, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) such Holder is entitled to receive upon the conversion of such Holder's Series B Preferred Shares prior to such Corporate Event (but not in lieu of such items still issuable under Sections 3(b) and 6(e), which shall continue to be receivable on the Common Stock or on such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property otherwise receivable with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock), such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights and any shares of Common Stock) which the Holders would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence or consummation of such Corporate Event or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Corporate Event, had such Holder's Series B Preferred Shares been converted immediately prior to such Corporate Event or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Corporate Event (without regard to any limitations on conversion, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) (provided, however, to the extent that a Holder's right to receive any such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity would result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to receive such shares to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity as a result of such consideration to such extent) and the portion of such shares shall be held in abeyance for such Holder until such time or times, as its right thereto would not result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times such Holder shall be delivered such shares to the extent as if there had been no such limitation). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares. Any failure on the part of the Company (or a Successor Entity) to achieve the foregoing requirements, despite the use of best efforts and good faith, shall not be deemed to be a default or breach of this Certificate of Designations by the Company (or a Successor Entity).
(d) Purchase Rights. If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then the Holders will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Series B Preferred Shares) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that a Holder's right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for such Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times such Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
(8) Reservation of Shares.
(a) The Company shall have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for each of the Series B Preferred Shares equal to 130% of the number of shares of Common Stock necessary to effect the conversion at the Conversion Rate (without regard to any limitations herein on any such conversion) with respect to the Conversion Amount of each such Series B Preferred Share as of the Issuance Date. The Company shall, so long as any of the Series B Preferred Shares are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversions of the Series B Preferred Shares, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Series B Preferred Shares then outstanding; provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved shall at no time be less than 130% of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Series B Preferred Shares are at any time convertible (without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the "Required Reserve Amount"). The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Series B Preferred Shares and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of Series B Preferred Shares held by each Holder at the time of issuance of the Series B Preferred Shares or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the "Authorized Share Allocation"). In the event a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder's Series B Preferred Shares, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the number of reserved shares of Common Stock reserved for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Series B Preferred Shares (other than pursuant to a transfer of Series B Preferred Shares in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Series B Preferred Shares, pro rata based on the number of Series B Preferred Shares then held by such Holders.
(b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while any of the Series B Preferred Shares remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an "Authorized Share Failure"), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company's authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Series B Preferred Shares then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than seventy-five (75) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its shareholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each shareholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its shareholders' approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the shareholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information Statement on Schedule 14C.
(9) Voting Rights. Each Holder shall be entitled to the whole number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Holder's Series B Preferred Shares would be convertible on the record date for the vote or consent of shareholders, and shall otherwise have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock.

(10) Equal Treatment of Holders. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any of the Holders to amend or waive or modify any provision of the Series B Preferred Shares or the Warrants, unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the Holders.

The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designations, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).

Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designations. The Company covenants to each Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by such Holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holders shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
(17) Construction. This Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all Holders and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof.
(18) Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

The Company may treat the person in whose name any Series B Preferred Share is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly made transfers.
(21) Shareholder Matters. Any shareholder action, approval or consent required, desired or otherwise sought by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the NRS, this Certificate of Designations or otherwise with respect to the issuance of the Series B Preferred Shares or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof may be effected by written consent of the Company's shareholders or at a duly called meeting of the Company's shareholders, all in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Principal Market and the NRS. This provision is intended to comply with the applicable sections of the NRS permitting shareholder action, approval and consent affected by written consent in lieu of a meeting.
(22) Disclosure. Upon receipt or delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Designations, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day after any such receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to the Holders contemporaneously with delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such indication, the Holders shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries.

(24) Independent Nature of Holders' Obligations and Rights. The rights and obligations of each Holder under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute such Holder as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Certificate of Designations or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
