If the aforementioned conditions to a DTC Transfer are not satisfied, the Corporation shall deliver as provided above to the holder physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion.

B.
Buy-In Cure . Unless the Corporation has notified the applicable holder in writing prior to the delivery by such holder of a Notice of Conversion that the Corporation is unable to honor conversions, if (i) (a) the Corporation fails to promptly deliver during the Delivery Period shares of Common Stock to a holder upon a conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock or (b) there shall occur a Legend Removal Failure (as defined in Article VII. A(iii) below) and (ii) thereafter, such holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale by such holder of the unlegended shares of Common Stock (the Sold Shares ) which such holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a Buy-In ), the Corporation shall pay such holder, in addition to any other remedies available to the holder, the amount by which (x) such holders total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the unlegended shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the net proceeds received by such holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. For example, if a holder purchases unlegended shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for $10,000, the Corporation will be required to pay the holder $1,000.

LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE
A.
If the Corporation shall commence a voluntary case under the U.S. Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any law or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any substantial part of its property, or make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or if a decree or order for relief in respect of the Corporation shall be entered by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under the U.S. Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law resulting in the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and any such decree or order shall be unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days and, on account of any such event, the Corporation shall liquidate, dissolve or wind up, or if the Corporation shall otherwise liquidate, dissolve or wind up (each a Liquidation Event ), no distribution shall be made to the holders of any shares of capital stock of the Corporation (other than Senior Securities pursuant to the rights, preferences and privileges thereof, if any) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up unless prior thereto the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have received the Liquidation Preference with respect to each share of Series B Preferred Stock. If, upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the assets and funds available for distribution among the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and holders of Pari Passu Securities, if any, shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the preferential amounts payable thereon, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the Series B Preferred Stock and the Pari Passu Securities, if any, shall be distributed ratably among such shares in proportion to the ratio that the Liquidation Preference payable on each such share bears to the aggregate Liquidation Preference payable on all such shares.
B.
The purchase or redemption by the Corporation of stock of any class, in any manner permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be regarded as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.
C.

The Liquidation Preference with respect to any Pari Passu Securities, if any, shall be as set forth in the Certificate of Designation filed in respect thereof.

The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
A.
Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Etc. If, at any time on or after the Issuance Date, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or other similar event, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced, or if the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a reverse stock split, combination, reclassification or other similar event, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased. In such event, the Corporation shall notify the Corporations transfer agent of such change on or before the effective date thereof.
B.
Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time after the Issuance Date, there shall be (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with any other entity (other than a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing entity and its capital stock is unchanged), (iii) any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or (iv) any share exchange or other transaction pursuant to which all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are converted into other securities or property (each of (i) - (iv) above being a Corporate Change ), then the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable, such shares of stock, securities and/or other property as would have been issued or payable in such Corporate Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock which would have been issuable upon conversion had such Corporate Change not taken place (without giving effect to the limitations contained in Article XIV), and in any such case, appropriate provisions (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holders) shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock to the end that the economic value of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock are in no way diminished by such Corporate Change and that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, in the case of any such consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor entity or purchasing entity is not the Corporation, an immediate adjustment of the Conversion Price so that the Conversion Price immediately after the Corporate Change reflects the same relative value as compared to the value of the surviving entitys common stock that existed between the Conversion Price and the value of the Corporations Common Stock immediately prior to such Corporate Change) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock or securities thereafter deliverable upon the conversion thereof. The Corporation shall not effect any Corporate Change unless (i) each holder of Series B Preferred Stock has received written notice of such transaction at least 30 days prior thereto, but in no event later than 15 days prior to the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto, (ii) if required by Section 4(i) of the Subscription Agreement, the consent of the Purchasers (as such term is defined in the Subscription Agreement) shall have been obtained in accordance with such Section 4(i), and (iii) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Corporation) assumes by written instrument (in form and substance reasonable satisfactory to the Majority Holders) the obligations of this Certificate of Designation (including, without limitation, the obligation to make payments of Dividend accrued but unpaid through the date of such consolidation, merger or sale and accruing thereafter). The above provisions and shall apply regardless of whether or not there would have been a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available for issuance upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding as of the date of such transaction, and shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.
C.
Distributions . If, at any time after the Issuance Date, the Corporation shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a partial liquidating dividend, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Corporations stockholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary ( i.e., a spin-off)) (a Distribution ), then the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled, upon any conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock after the date of record for determining stockholders entitled to such Distribution (or if no such record is taken, the date on which such Distribution is declared or made), to receive the amount of such assets that would have been payable to the holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (without giving effect to the limitations contained in Article XIV) had such holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to such Distribution (or if no such record is taken, the date on which such Distribution is declared or made).

D.
Convertible Securities and Purchase Rights . If, at any time after the Issuance Date, the Corporation issues any securities or other instruments that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock ( Convertible Securities ) or options, warrants or other rights to purchase or subscribe for Common Stock or Convertible Securities ( Purchase Rights ) pro rata to the record holders of the Common Stock, whether or not such Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights are immediately convertible, exercisable or exchangeable, then the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled, upon any conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock after the date of record for determining stockholders entitled to receive such Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights (or if no such record is taken, the date on which such Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights are issued), to receive the aggregate number of Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights that such holder would have received with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (without giving effect to the limitations contained in Article XIV) had such holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights (or if no such record is taken, the date on which such Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights were issued). If the right to exercise or convert any such Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights would expire in accordance with their terms prior to the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, then the terms of such Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights shall provide that such exercise or convertibility right shall remain in effect until 30 days after the date the holder of Series B Preferred Stock receives such Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights pursuant to the conversion hereof.
E.
Other Action Affecting Conversion Price . If, at any time after the Issuance Date, the Corporation takes any action affecting the Common Stock that would be covered by Article X. A through E, but for the manner in which such action is taken or structured, which would in any way diminish the value of the Series B Preferred Stock, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner as the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall in good faith determine to be equitable under the circumstances.
F.
Notice of Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Article X amounting to a more than one percent (1%) change in such Conversion Price, or any change in the number or type of stock, securities and/or other property issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment or change and prepare and furnish to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment or change and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment or change is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Series B Preferred Stock, furnish to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment or change, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of a share of Series B Preferred Stock.

VOTING RIGHTS
The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall have no voting power whatsoever, except as otherwise provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL ), in this Article XI and in Article XII below.
Notwithstanding the above, the Corporation shall provide each holder of Series B Preferred Stock with prior notification of any meeting of the stockholders (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to stockholders).

To the extent that under the DGCL holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on a matter with holders of Common Stock, voting together as one class, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which it is then convertible (subject to the limitations contained in Article XIV.B) using the record date for the taking of such vote of stockholders as the date as of which the Conversion Price is calculated.

(i)
alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B Preferred Stock;

A.
[RESERVED]
B.
Restrictions on Conversion and Payment of Dividends in Shares of Series B Preferred Stock . In no event shall the Corporation issue Series B Preferred Stock to any holder of Series B Preferred Stock as payment of any Dividend, and in no event shall a holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Corporation have the right to convert shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock to the extent that such payment of Dividend or right to effect such conversion would result in the holder and its affiliates together beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of this Paragraph B, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13D-G thereunder. The restriction contained in this Paragraph B may not be altered, amended, deleted or changed in any manner whatsoever unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and the Majority Holders shall approve, in writing, such alteration, amendment, deletion or change. In the event the Corporation is prohibited from issuing Series B Preferred Stock to any holder of Series B Preferred Stock as payment of any Dividend, it shall pay such Dividend to such holder in cash.

MISCELLANEOUS
A.
Cancellation of Series B Preferred Stock . If any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are converted pursuant to Article IV or redeemed or repurchased by the Corporation, the shares so converted or redeemed shall be canceled, shall return to the status of authorized, but unissued Preferred Stock of no designated series, and shall not be issuable by the Corporation as Series B Preferred Stock.
B.
Lost or Stolen Certificates . Upon receipt by the Corporation of (i) evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Preferred Stock Certificate(s) and (ii) (y) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, indemnity (without any bond or other security) reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or (z) in the case of mutilation, the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) (surrendered for cancellation), the Corporation shall execute and deliver new Preferred Stock Certificate(s) of like tenor and date at cost to holder. However, the Corporation shall not be obligated to reissue such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Preferred Stock Certificate(s) if the holder contemporaneously requests the Corporation to convert such Series B Preferred Stock.
C.
Allocation of Reserved Amount . The initial Reserved Amount shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of Series B Preferred Stock based on the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued to each such holder. Each increase to the Reserved Amount shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of Series B Preferred Stock based on the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by each holder at the time of the increase in the Reserved Amount. In the event a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holders shares of Series B Preferred, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such transferor Reserved Amount. Any portion of the Reserved Amount which remains allocated to any person or entity which does not hold any Series B Preferred Stock shall be allocated to the remaining holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then held by such holders.
9
D.
[RESERVED]
E.
Payment of Cash; Defaults . Whenever the Corporation is required to make any cash payment to a holder under this Certificate of Designation (as payment of any Dividend, upon redemption or otherwise), such cash payment shall be made to the holder within five business days after delivery by such holder of a notice specifying that the holder elects to receive such payment in cash and the method ( e.g. , by check, wire transfer) in which such payment should be made and any supporting documentation reasonably requested by the Corporation to substantiate the holders claim to such cash payment or the amount thereof. If such payment is not delivered within such five business day period, such holder shall thereafter be entitled to interest on the unpaid amount at a per annum rate equal to the lower of eighteen percent (18%) and the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law until such amount is paid in full to the holder.
F.
Status as Stockholder . Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a holder of Series B Preferred Stock, (i) the shares covered thereby (other than the shares, if any, which cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed such holders allocated portion of the Reserved Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the holders rights as a holder of such converted shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a holder has not received certificates for all shares of Common Stock prior to the sixth business day after the expiration of the Delivery Period with respect to a conversion of Series B Preferred Stock for any reason, then (unless the holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder of Common Stock by so notifying the Corporation within five business days after the expiration of such six business day period after expiration of the Delivery Period) the holder shall regain the rights of a holder of Series B Preferred Stock with respect to such unconverted shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted shares to the holder. In all cases, the holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies for the Corporations failure to convert Series B Preferred Stock.
G.
Remedies Cumulative . The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designation shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designation, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit a holders right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. The Corporation acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Corporation therefore agrees, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, that the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
H.
Waiver . Notwithstanding any provision in this Certificate of Designation to the contrary, any provision contained herein and any right of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock granted hereunder may be waived as to all shares of Series B Preferred Stock (and the holders thereof) upon the written consent of the Majority Holders, unless a higher percentage is required by applicable law, in which case the written consent of the holders of not less than such higher percentage of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be required.
I.
Notices . Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms hereof shall be sent by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested) or delivered personally, by nationally recognized overnight carrier or by confirmed facsimile transmission, and shall be effective five days after being placed in the mail, if mailed, or upon receipt or refusal of receipt, if delivered personally or by nationally recognized overnight carrier or confirmed facsimile transmission, in each case addressed to a party.
