7.

Conversion .

The following of the Preferred Stock shall have the following conversion rights (the "Conversion Rights"):

(a)

Optional Conversion:  Right to Convert .  Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof  (provided that upon any liquidation of the Company, the right of conversion shall terminate at the close of business on the business day fixed for payment of the amount distributable on the Preferred Stock; and, further except that upon redemption of the Preferred Stock by the Company pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the right of conversion shall terminate at the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Redemption Date) at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock or Common Stock, into fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock.  

(b)

Conversion Rate .  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable on the conversion of each share of Preferred Stock shall be determined by dividing (A) the sum of (i) the Stated Value of such share or shares of Preferred Stock, plus (ii) all accrued and

---

unpaid dividends thereon, by (B) the then applicable Conversion Price (the “Conversion Value”).  

(c)

Conversion Price :  The Conversion Price at which the Series A Preferred shall be convertible into Shares of Common Stock shall be $0.75 per share.  

(d)

Limitation on Conversion; Section 13(d) Compliance .  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in no event (except (i) as specifically provided herein as an exception  to this provision, or (ii) while there is outstanding a tender offer for any or all of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock) shall the holder be entitled to convert any portion of the Preferred Stock (and the Company shall not have the right or obligation to pay dividends hereon in shares of Common Stock) to the extent that, after such conversion or issuance of stock in payment of dividends, the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Preferred Stock or other convertible securities or of the unexercised portion of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock), and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (after taking into account the shares to be issued to the Holder upon such conversion).  For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such sentence.  The holder, by its acceptance of Preferred Stock, further agrees that if the holder transfers or assigns any of the Preferred Stock to a party who or which would not be considered such an affiliate, such assignment shall be made subject to the transferee’s or assignee’s specific agreement to be bound by the provisions of this Section 7(d) as if such transferee or assignee were the original holder thereof.  Nothing herein shall preclude the holder from disposing of a sufficient number of other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder so as to thereafter permit the continued conversion of Preferred Stock.

(e)

Mandatory Conversion .  All outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Section 7 the earlier of (i) August 31, 2012 or (ii) in the event (a) a registration statement registering for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) the shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock (the “Registration Statement” and “Conversion Stock”, respectively) has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is in effect on the date of written notice of Mandatory Conversion is delivered to the holders of the Preferred Shares (b) there exists on the date of such written notice a public trading market for the Conversion Stock and such shares are listed for quotation on the NASDAQ Capital Market, the American Stock Exchange or the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board and (c) the public trading price of the Company’s Common Stock has equaled or exceeded 200% of the Conversion Price, as then in effect, for ten or more consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the date of

---

such notice.  On such occasion, the Company shall mail written notice within ten days following the satisfaction of all of the foregoing conditions to all holders of record of the Preferred Stock.  The Mandatory Conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be deemed effective on a date which is ten days following the date that written notice is sent to the holders. Following the effective date of such Mandatory Conversion, then notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the shares of Preferred Stock subject to such Mandatory Redemption shall not have been surrendered, the dividends with respect to such shares shall cease to accrue after the Mandatory Redemption Date and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive shares of Common Stock.

(g)

Notice of Optional Conversion .  The right of conversion shall be exercised by the holder thereof by giving written notice (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company, by facsimile or by registered mail or overnight delivery service, with a copy by facsimile to the Company’s then transfer agent for its Common Stock, as designated by the Company from time to time, that the holder elects to convert a specified number of shares of Preferred Stock representing a specified Stated Value thereof into Common Stock and, if such conversion will result in the conversion of all of such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock, by surrender of a certificate or certificates for the shares so to be converted to the Company at its principal office (or such other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the holders of the Preferred Stock) at any time during its usual business hours on the date set forth in the Conversion Notice, together with a statement of the name or names (with address) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issued.  The Conversion Notice shall include therein the Stated Value of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, and a calculation (i) of the amount of all accrued and unpaid dividends, (ii) the Conversion Price, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with such conversion.

(h)

Mechanics of Conversion .  Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Common Stock, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that he elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of shares of Preferred Stock being converted.  Thereupon the Company shall promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which he shall be entitled.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

(i)

Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations .  If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date for a series of the Preferred Stock effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Rate then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and conversely, if the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date for a

---

series of the Preferred Stock combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased.  Any adjustment under this paragraph 7(i) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(j)

Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions .  In the event the Company at any time, or from time to time after the Original Issue Date for a series of Preferred Stock shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Rate for such series of Preferred Stock 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; provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Rate for such series of Preferred Stock shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Rate for such series of Preferred Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to this Paragraph 7(j) as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

(k)

Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange, or Substitution .  If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for above, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this Paragraph 7), then and in each such event the holder of each share of Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, or change, all subject to further adjustments as provided herein.

(l)

Reorganization, Mergers, Consolidations, or Sales of Assets .  If at any time or from time to time there shall be a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than

---

a subdivision, combination, reclassification, or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Paragraph 7) 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 assets to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting form such merger or consolidation or sale, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale.  In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Paragraph 7 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock after the reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale to the end that the provisions of this Paragraph 7 (including adjustment of the Conversion Rate then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

(m)

Notices of Record Date .  In the event of (i) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class or series of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution or (ii) any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other corporation, entity, or person, or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail to each holder of Preferred Stock at least thirty (30) days prior to the record date specified therein, a notice specifying (a) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (b) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up is expected to become effective, and (c) the time, if any is to be fixed, as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up.

(n)

Fractional Shares .  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of 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 fair market value of one share of the Company's Common Stock on the date of conversion, as determined in good faith by the Board.

(o)

Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion .  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Company will take

---

such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

(p)

Notices .  Any notice required by the provisions of this Paragraph 7 to be given to the holder of shares of the Preferred Stock shall be deemed given when personally delivered to such holder or five (5) business days after the same has been deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of the Company.

(q)

Payment of Taxes .  The Company will pay all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock.

(r)

No Dilution or Impairment .  The Company shall not amend its Articles of Incorporation or participate in any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, for the purpose of avoiding or seeking 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 carrying out all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock against dilution or other impairment.

8.

No Preemptive Rights .

No holder of the Series A Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall be entitled, as of right, to purchase or subscribe for any part of the unissued stock of the Company or of any stock of the Company to be issued by reason of any increase of the authorized capital stock of the Company, or to purchase or subscribe for any bonds, certificates of indebtedness, debentures or other securities convertible into or carrying options or warrants to purchase stock or other securities of the Company or to purchase or subscribe for any stock of the Company purchased by the Company or by its nominee or nominees, or to have any other preemptive rights now or hereafter defined by the laws of the State of California.

9.

No Reissuance of Preferred Stock .

No share or shares of Preferred Stock acquired by the Company by reason of redemption, purchase, conversion, or otherwise shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be canceled, retired, and eliminated from the shares which the Company shall be authorized to issue.

---

10.

Protective Provisions .  

So long as at least fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Preferred Stock (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends or recapitalizations) are outstanding and have not been converted into Common Stock or redeemed by the Company, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as one class except where otherwise required by law:

(a)

amend or repeal any provision of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws if such action would alter or change in a manner adverse to the interest of holders of Series A Preferred Stock the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, or the restrictions provided for the benefit of the Series A Preferred Stock;

(b)

authorize or issue shares of any class of stock having a preference over the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends or assets; or
