On May 29, 2008, we signed a Series D Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with one accredited investor whereby such investor is committed, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, to purchase $1,500,000 of our Series D Preferred Shares .  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, this investor is also committed to investing an additional $500,000 no later than 90 days from the initial closing date provided that we have hired a chief operating officer acceptable to such investor.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, additional investments of up to an aggregate of $2,000,000 of Series D Preferred Shares may be made in subsequent closings to be completed no later than June 30, 2008.  Net proceeds from the initial closing which is expected to occur within two business days of this filing on Form 8-K are expected to be approximately $1,455,000.   As part of this financing, we will also enter into an Exchange Agreement with the investor and certain other holders of our outstanding warrants, whereby the Series J Warrant that the investor received pursuant to the financing we closed on November 5, 2007, as disclosed in the Form 8-K filed on November 7, 2007, will be cancelled, and the investor and certain other holders of our outstanding warrants shall return to us warrants to purchase an aggregate of 24,941,605 shares of our common stock, which the investor and such other warrant holders received pursuant to the financings we closed on: (i) April 12, 2006, as disclosed in our Form 8-K filed on April 14, 2007; (ii) May 30, 2006, as disclosed in our Form 8-K filed on May 30, 2006; and (iii) November 5, 2007, as disclosed in our Form 8-K filed on November 7, 2007, in exchange for an aggregate of 267,059 Series D Preferred Shares.

 

The net proceeds from the financing are to be used for supplies, processing plant upgrades, working capital and general corporate purposes.  


Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, our Board of Directors shall be reduced to 7 persons and the investors in the financing maintain the right to designate (by approval of a majority of the Series D Preferred Shares outstanding at such time) 1 of the 7 directors so long as at least 20% of the Series D Preferred Shares remain outstanding.  However, if we fail to meet certain performance target as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, our Board of Directors shall be reduced to 5 persons and the investors maintain the right to appoint (by approval of a majority of the Series D Preferred Shares outstanding at such time) a majority of the directors so long as at least 20% of the Series D Preferred Shares remain outstanding.  In addition, the investors may appoint a designee to attend and observe, but not to vote at, all annual and special meetings of our Board of Directors.






2



Pursuant to the financing, we filed a Certificate of Designation of the Relative Rights and Preferences of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock on May 29, 2008.  The Certificate of Designation designates 380,000 shares of our authorized preferred stock as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, which ranks junior to our Series A, Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, but senior to our common stock.  Except with respect to specified transactions that may affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of the Series D Preferred Shares and except as otherwise required by Nevada law, the Series D Preferred Shares have no voting rights.  At any time on or after the issuance date, the holder of any Series D Preferred Shares may, at the holder's option, elect to convert all or any portion of the Series D Preferred Shares held by such person into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock equal to the quotient of (i) the stated value ($40.00 per share) of the Series D Preferred Shares being converted divided by (ii) the conversion price, which initially is $0.80 per share, subject to certain adjustments.  In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders shall receive a liquidation preference equal to 120% of the stated value per Series D Preferred Share.


In addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we entered into a Management Lock-Up Agreement, which provides the manner in which members of our management will sell, transfer or dispose of their shares of common stock, and an Investor Lock-Up Agreement, which provides the manner in which the investors will sell, transfer or dispose of their shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Shares.  


Incorporated herein by reference are the following: Form of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 10.1), form of Exchange Agreement, (Exhibit 10.2), form of Certificate of Designation of Rights and Preferences of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (Exhibit 10.3), form of  Management Lock-Up Agreement (Exhibit 10.4) and form of Investor Lock-Up Agreement (Exhibit 10.5).  The respective descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, Exchange Agreement, Certificate of Designation, Management Lock-Up Agreement and Investor Lock-Up Agreement contained herein are qualified in their entirety by the respective terms of each document incorporated herein by reference.  


The private equity financing described herein was made pursuant to the exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Sections 3(a)(9) and 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The securities issued have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.


The foregoing information has been disclosed herein as it is material to the private equity financing and should not be construed as an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy our securities.  The securities to be sold in the subsequent closings will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

The parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Section 1.2

Conversion Shares . The Company has authorized and has reserved and covenants to continue to reserve, free of preemptive rights and other similar contractual rights of stockholders, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all of the Series D Preferred Shares then outstanding.  Any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Shares (and such shares when issued) are herein referred to as the “ Conversion Shares ”.  The Series D Preferred Shares and the Conversion Shares are sometimes collectively referred to as the “ Shares ”.

Section 1.3

(b)

Authorization; Enforcement .  The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, the Management Lock-Up Agreement (as defined in Section 3.18 hereof) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 , the Investor Lock-Up Agreement (as defined in Section 3.18 hereof) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2 , the Escrow Agreement by and among the Company, the Purchasers and the escrow agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the “ Escrow Agreement ”), which shall provide for the disbursement of funds at each Closing, and the Certificate of Designation (collectively, the “ Transaction Documents ”), and to issue and sell the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.  The other Transaction Documents will have been duly executed and delivered by the Company at each Closing.  Each of the Transaction Documents constitutes, or shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

Section 6.2

Indemnification Procedure .  Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “indemnified party”) will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.  In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party may exist with respect of such action, proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.  In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim.  In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder.  The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim.  The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.  If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with



28

counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent.  Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim.  The indemnification required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party irrevocably agrees to refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification.  The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

Such Holder is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization.  

( )

This Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by such Holder and is a valid and binding agreement and obligation of such Holder enforceable against such Holder in accordance with its terms, subject to limitations on enforcement by general principles of equity and by bankruptcy or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and such Holder has full power and authority to execute and deliver the Agreement and the other agreements and documents contemplated hereby and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

OF THE

SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

OF

EDGEWATER FOODS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

The undersigned, the Acting Chief Financial Officer of Edgewater Foods International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), in accordance with the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, does hereby certify that, pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, the following resolution creating a series of preferred stock, designated as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, was duly adopted on May 29, 2008, as follows:


RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted to and vested in the Board of Directors of the Company by provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the "Articles of Incorporation"), there hereby is created out of the shares of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company authorized in Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation (the "Preferred Stock"), a series of Preferred Stock of the Company, to be named "Series D Convertible Preferred Stock," consisting of Three Hundred Eighty Thousand (380,000) shares, which series shall have the following designations, powers, preferences and relative and other special rights and the following qualifications, limitations and restrictions:


1.­

Designation and Rank .  The designation of such series of the Preferred Stock shall be the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series D Preferred Stock").  The maximum number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be Three Hundred Eighty Thousand (380,000) shares.  The Series D Preferred Stock shall rank senior to the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), and to all other classes and series of equity securities of the Company which by their terms do not rank senior to the Series D Preferred Stock ("Junior Stock").  The Series D Preferred Stock shall rank (a) senior to any class or series of Preferred Stock hereafter issued by the Company, (b) on a pari passu basis with all shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Series A, Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, and (c) subordinate to and rank junior to all indebtedness of the Company now or hereafter outstanding.


2.­

Intentionally Omitted.


3.­

Voting Rights .


(a)­

Class Voting Rights .  The Series D Preferred Stock shall have the following class voting rights (in addition to the voting rights set forth in Section 3(b) hereof).  So long as any shares of the Series D Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting, in which the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock vote separately as a class: (i) authorize, create, issue or increase the authorized or issued amount of any class or series of stock, including but not limited to the issuance of any more shares of






Preferred Stock, ranking pari passu or senior to the Series D Preferred Stock, with respect to the distribution of assets on liquidation, dissolution or winding up; (ii) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Series D Preferred Stock, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, so as to adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series D Preferred Stock; provided , however , that any creation and issuance of another series of Junior Stock shall not be deemed to adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers; (iii) repurchase, redeem or pay dividends on, shares of Common Stock or any other shares of the Company's Junior Stock (other than de minimus repurchases from employees of the Company in certain circumstances, and any contractual redemption obligations existing as of the date hereof as disclosed in the Company’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission); (iv) amend the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company so as to affect materially and adversely any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series D Preferred Stock; provided , however , that any creation and issuance of another series of Junior Stock shall not be deemed to adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers; (v) effect any distribution with respect to Junior Stock other than as permitted hereby; (vi) reclassify the Company's outstanding securities; (vii) voluntarily file for bankruptcy, liquidate the Company’s assets or make an assignment for the benefit of the Company’s creditors; or (viii) materially change the nature of the Company’s business.  


(b)­

General Voti ng Rights .  Except with respect to transactions upon which the Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote separately as a class pursuant to Section 3(a) above and except as otherwise required by Nevada law, the Series D Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights.  The Common Stock into which the Series D Preferred Stock is convertible shall, upon issuance, have all of the same voting rights as other issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company, and none of the rights of the Preferred Stock.

4.­

Liquidation Preference .


(a)

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount equal to (the "Liquidation Preference Amount") the product of (A) $40.00 per share (the "Stated Value") of the Series D Preferred Stock  and (B) one hundred twenty percent (120%), before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of the Common Stock or any other Junior Stock.  If the assets of the Company are not sufficient to pay in full the Liquidation Preference Amount payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Stock and any series of Preferred Stock or any other class of stock ranking pari passu, as to rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up, with the Series D Preferred Stock, then all of said assets will be distributed among the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock and the other classes of stock ranking pari passu with the Series D Preferred Stock, if any, ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.  The liquidation payment with respect to each outstanding fractional share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be equal to a ratably proportionate amount of the liquidation payment with respect to each outstanding share of Series D Preferred Stock.  All payments for which this Section 4(a) provides shall be in cash, property (valued at its fair market value as determined by an independent appraiser reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Series D Preferred Stock) or a combination thereof; provided ,



2




however , that no cash shall be paid to holders of Junior Stock unless each holder of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock has been paid in cash the full Liquidation Preference Amount.  After payment of the full Liquidation Preference Amount, such holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation as such in any distribution of the assets of the Company.


(b)

A “Change of Control Transaction” shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up within the meaning of this Section 4.  As used herein, a  "Change in Control Transaction" means, except with respect to acquisitions by the Company in the normal course of business, the occurrence of (i) an acquisition by an individual or legal entity or "group" (as described in Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of effective control (whether through legal or beneficial ownership of capital stock of the Company, by contract or otherwise) of in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the Company (except that the acquisition of voting securities by the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall not constitute a Change of Control Transaction for purposes hereof), (ii) the merger or consolidation of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in one or a series of related transactions with or into another entity (except in connection with a merger involving the Company either (A) solely for the purpose, and with the sole effect, of reorganizing the Company under the laws of another jurisdiction, with respect to which merger the Company is the survivor, or (B) where the holders of capital stock of the Company immediately prior to such merger own more than a majority of the fully-diluted shares of capital stock of the surviving corporation after the merger), or (iii) the execution by the Company of an agreement to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, providing for any of the events set forth above in (i) or (ii).


(c)

Written notice of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, stating a payment date and the place where the distributable amounts shall be payable, shall be given by mail, postage prepaid, no less than forty-five (45) days prior to the payment date stated therein, to the holders of record of the Series D Preferred Stock at their respective addresses as the same shall appear on the books of the Company.


5.­

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


(a)­

Right to Convert .  At any time on or after the initial issuance date of the Series D Preferred Stock (the “Issuance Date”), the holder of any such shares of Series D Preferred Stock may, at such holder's option, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7 herein, elect to convert (a "Conversion") all or any portion of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by such person into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the Stated Value of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock being converted divided by (ii) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 5(d) below) then in effect as of the date of the delivery by such holder of its notice of election to convert.  In the event of a notice of redemption of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the Conversion Rights of the shares designated for redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for redemption, unless the redemption price



3




is not paid on such redemption date, in which case the Conversion Rights for such shares shall continue until such price is paid in full.  In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock.  In the event of such a redemption or liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Company shall provide to each holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock notice of such redemption or liquidation, dissolution or winding up, which notice shall (i) be sent at least fifteen (15) days prior to the termination of the Conversion Rights (or, if the Company obtains lesser notice thereof, then as promptly as possible after the date that it has obtained notice thereof) and (ii) state the amount per share of Series D Preferred Stock that will be paid or distributed on such redemption or liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be.


(b)­

Mechanics of Conversion .  The Conversion of Series D Preferred Stock shall be conducted in the following manner:


(i)­

Holder's Delivery Requirements .  To convert Series D Preferred Stock into full shares of Common Stock on any date (the "Conversion Date"), the holder thereof shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time on such date, a copy of a fully executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Conversion Notice"), to the Company at (240) 864-0450, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, and (B) surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such Conversion Date the original certificates representing the shares of Series D Preferred Stock being converted (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to such shares in the case of their loss, theft or destruction) (the "Preferred Stock Certificates") and the originally executed Conversion Notice.


(ii)­

Company's Response .  Upon receipt by the Company of a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall immediately send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such holder.  Upon receipt by the Company of a copy of the fully executed Conversion Notice, the Company or its designated transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent"), as applicable, shall, within three (3) business days following the date of receipt by the Company of the fully executed Conversion Notice, issue and deliver to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) as specified in the Conversion Notice, registered in the name of the holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled.  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Company or its Transfer Agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder’s behalf via DWAC if such conversion is in connection with a sale and the Company and the Transfer Agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC system.  If the number of shares of Preferred Stock represented by the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) submitted for conversion is greater than the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) business days after receipt of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) and at the Company's expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock not converted.



4





(iii)­

Dispute Resolution .  In the case of a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion, the Company shall cause its Transfer Agent to promptly issue to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall submit the arithmetic calculations to the holder via facsimile as soon as possible, but in no event later than two (2) business days after receipt of such holder's Conversion Notice.  If such holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion within one (1) business day of such disputed arithmetic calculation being submitted to the holder, then the Company shall within one (1) business day submit via facsimile the disputed arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion to the Company’s independent, outside accountant.  The Company shall cause the accountant to perform the calculations and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than seventy-two (72) hours from the time it receives the disputed calculations.  Such accountant's calculation shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error.  The reasonable expenses of such accountant in making such determination shall be paid by the Company, in the event the holder's calculation was correct, or by the holder, in the event the Company's calculation was correct, or equally by the Company and the holder in the event that neither the Company's or the holder's calculation was correct.  The period of time in which the Company is required to effect conversions or redemptions under this Certificate of Designation shall be tolled with respect to the subject conversion or redemption pending resolution of any dispute by the Company made in good faith and in accordance with this Section 5(b)(iii).


(iv)­

Record Holder .  The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock 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 .  If within three (3) business days of the Company's receipt of an executed copy of the Conversion Notice (so long as the applicable Preferred Stock Certificates and original Conversion Notice are received by the Company on or before such third business day) (the "Delivery Date") the Transfer Agent shall fail to issue and deliver to a holder the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled upon such holder's conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock or to issue a new Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) (a "Conversion Failure"), in addition to all other available remedies which such holder may pursue hereunder and under that certain Series D Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated on or about the date hereof among the Company and the initial holders of the Series D Preferred Stock (including indemnification pursuant to Section 6 thereof) (the "Purchase Agreement") and/or that certain Exchange Agreement dated on or about the date hereof among the Company and the other parties named therein (the "Exchange Agreement" and, together with the Purchase Agreement, the “Agreements”), the Company shall pay additional damages to such holder on each business day after such third (3 rd ) business day that such conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal 0.5% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the holder on a timely basis pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) and to which such holder is entitled



5




and, in the event the Company has failed to deliver a Preferred Stock Certificate to the holder on a timely basis pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii), the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock represented by such Preferred Stock Certificate, as of the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Preferred Stock Certificate to such holder without violating Section 5(b)(ii) and (B) the Closing Bid Price (as defined below) of the Common Stock on the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Common Stock and such Preferred Stock Certificate, as the case may be, to such holder without violating Section 5(b)(ii).  If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 5(b)(v) within five (5) business days of the date incurred, then such payment shall bear interest at the rate of 2.0% per month (pro rated for partial months) until such payments are made.  The term "Closing Bid Price" shall mean, for any security as of any date, the last closing bid price of such security on the OTC Bulletin Board or other principal exchange on which such security is traded as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no closing bid price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the last closing trade price of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no last closing trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security as reported in the "pink sheets" by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.  If the Closing Bid Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock.  


(vi)

Buy-In Rights .  In addition to any other rights available to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, if the Company fails to cause its Transfer Agent to transmit to the holder a certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date the holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series D Preferred Stock which the holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the holder the amount by which (x) the holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series D Preferred Stock that the Company was required to deliver to the holder in connection with the conversion at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the holder, either reinstate the shares of Series D Preferred Stock and equivalent number of shares of Common Stock for which such conversion was not honored or deliver to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its conversion and delivery obligations hereunder.  For example, if the holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay to the holder $1,000. The holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company.  Nothing herein shall limit a holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without



6




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 D Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(c)

Intentionally Omitted .


(d)­

Conversion Price .  


(i)

The term "Conversion Price" shall mean $0.80, subject to adjustment under Section 5(e) hereof.  Notwithstanding any adjustment hereunder, at no time shall the Conversion Price be greater than $0.80 per share except if it is adjusted pursuant to Section 5(e)(i).  


(ii)

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if during any period (a " Black-out Period "), a holder of Series D Preferred Stock is unable to trade any Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock immediately due to the postponement of filing or delay or suspension of effectiveness of a registration statement or because the Company has otherwise informed such holder of Series D Preferred Stock that an existing prospectus cannot be used at that time in the sale or transfer of such Common Stock (provided that such postponement, delay, suspension or fact that the prospectus cannot be used is not due to factors solely within the control of the holder of Series D Preferred Stock), such holder of Series D Preferred Stock shall have the option but not the obligation on any Conversion Date within ten (10) trading days following the expiration of the Black-out Period of using the Conversion Price applicable on such Conversion Date or any Conversion Price selected by such holder of Series D Preferred Stock that would have been applicable had such Conversion Date been at any earlier time during the Black-out Period or within the ten (10) trading days thereafter.  


(e)­

Adjustments of Conversion Price .


(i)­

Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations .  If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, effect a stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased.  If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, effect a reverse stock split or otherwise combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased.  Any adjustments under this Section 5(e)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination becomes effective.


(ii)­

Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions .  If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, the Conversion Price shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:




7




(1)

the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date; and


(2)

the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.


(iii)­

Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions .  If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Company which they would have received had their Series D Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period), giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 5(e)(iii) with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock; provided , however , that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and provided further , however, that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Series D Preferred Stock simultaneously receive (i) a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event or (ii) a dividend or other distribution of shares of Series D Preferred Stock which are convertible, as of the date of such event, into such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to the number of additional shares of Common Stock being issued with respect to each share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution.


(iv)­

Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution .  If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date shall be changed to the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Sections 5(e)(i), (ii) and (iii), or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for in Section 5(e)(v)), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holder of each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share of Series D Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of



8




Series D Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.


(v)­

Adjustments for Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of Assets .  If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there shall be a capital reorganization of the Company (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends or distributions provided for in Section 5(e)(i), (ii) and (iii), or a reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares provided for in Section 5(e)(iv)), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation where the holders of outstanding voting securities prior to such merger or consolidation do not own over 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the merged or consolidated entity, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's properties or assets to any other person (an "Organic Change"), then as a part of such Organic Change an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made if necessary and provision shall be made if necessary (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holder of each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share of Series D Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property of the Company or any successor corporation resulting from Organic Change.  In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5(e)(v) with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock after the Organic Change to the end that the provisions of this Section 5(e)(v) (including any adjustment in the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares of stock or other securities deliverable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock) shall be applied after that event in as nearly an equivalent manner as may be practicable.


(vi)

Adjustments for Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.  


(A)

Commencing on the Issuance Date and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, in the event the Company shall issue or sell any additional shares of Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through (v) of this Section 5(e) or pursuant to Common Stock Equivalents (hereafter defined) granted or issued on or prior to the Issuance Date) (the "Additional Shares of Common Stock"), at a price per share less than the Conversion Price, or without consideration, the Conversion Price then in effect upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to the price equal to the consideration per share paid for such Additional Shares of Common Stock.


(B)

Commencing on the date that is two (2) years and one (1) day following the Issuance Date, in the event the Company shall issue or sell any additional shares of Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through (v) of this Section 5(e) or pursuant to Common Stock Equivalents (hereafter defined) granted or issued on or prior to the Issuance Date) (the "Additional Shares of Common Stock"), at a price per share less than the Conversion Price, or without consideration, the Conversion Price then in effect upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to that price (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction:




9




(1)

the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at a price per share equal to the then Conversion Price, and


(2)

the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock;


No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock shall be made under paragraphs (A) and (B) of Section 5(e)(vi) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any conversion or exchange rights in any Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below), if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights or upon the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefore) pursuant to Section 5(e)(vii).


(vii)

Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents .  The provisions of this Section 5(e)(vii) shall apply if (a) the Company, at any time after the Issuance Date, shall issue any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock ("Convertible Securities"), other than the Series D Preferred Stock, or (b) any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities (collectively, the "Common Stock Equivalents") shall be issued or sold.  If the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable pursuant to any such Common Stock Equivalent shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price then in effect, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the applicable Conversion Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be adjusted as provided in subsection (vi) of this Section 5(e).  No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent where an adjustment to the Conversion Price was made as a result of the issuance or purchase of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent.


(viii)­

Consideration for Stock .  In case any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities other than the Series D Preferred Stock, or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities, shall be issued or sold:


(1)

in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefore shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the



10




Board of Directors of the Company, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as such Board may determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, rights or warrants or options, as the case may be; or


(2)

in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company for stock or other securities of any corporation, the Company shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its Common Stock for stock or securities or other property of the other corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other property of the other corporation.  If any such calculation results in adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price, or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, the determination of the applicable Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale, shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock.  In the event any consideration received by the Company for any securities consists of property other than cash, the fair market value thereof at the time of issuance or as otherwise applicable shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.  In the event Common Stock is issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section (5)(e)(viii) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.


(ix)­

Record Date .  In case the Company shall take record of the holders of its Common Stock or any other Preferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities, then the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be such record date.


(x)

Certain Issues Excepted .  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price upon (i) securities issued (other than for cash) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or consolidation, (ii) securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the date of the Agreements or issued pursuant to the Agreements (so long as the conversion or exercise price in such securities are not amended to lower such price and/or adversely affect the holders), (iii) securities issued in connection with bona fide strategic license agreements or other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital, (iv) Common Stock issued or the issuance or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Issuer’s stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans outstanding as they exist on the date of the Agreements, and (v) Common Stock issued as payment of dividends on the outstanding shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock.




11




(f)­

No Impairment .  The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 5 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock against impairment.  In the event a holder shall elect to convert any shares of Series D Preferred Stock as provided herein, the Company cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such holder or any one associated or affiliated with such holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless (i) an order from the Securities and Exchange Commission prohibiting such conversion or (ii) an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and/or adjoining conversion of all or of said shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall have been issued and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such holder in an amount equal to 120% of the Stated Value of the Series D Preferred Stock such holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such holder in the event it obtains judgment.


(g)­

Certificates as to Adjustments .  Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of such Series D Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  The Company shall, upon written request of the holder of such affected Series D Preferred Stock, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments, the Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of such Series D Preferred Stock.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of at least one percent of such adjusted amount.


(h)­

Issue Taxes .  The Company shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of shares of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided , however , that the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by any holder in connection with any such conversion.


(i)­

Notices .  All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally or by facsimile or e-mail or three (3) business days following being mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return-receipt requested, addressed to the holder of record at its address appearing on the books of the Company.  The Company will give written notice to each holder of Series D Preferred Stock at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record



12




(I) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (II) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (III) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and in no event shall such notice be provided to such holder prior to such information being made known to the public.  The Company will also give written notice to each holder of Series D Preferred Stock at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up will take place and in no event shall such notice be provided to such holder prior to such information being made known to the public.


(j)­

Fractional Shares .  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock.  In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall round the number of shares to be issued upon conversion up to the nearest whole number of shares.


(k)­

Reservation of Common Stock .  The Company shall, so long as any shares of Series D Preferred Stock are outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all of the Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding.  The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Series D Preferred Stock and any increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock based on the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by each holder of record at the time of issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be.  In the event a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder's shares of Series D Preferred Stock, 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 which remain allocated to any person or entity which does not hold any shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Series D Preferred Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock then held by such holder.  


(l)­

Retirement of Series D Preferred Stock .  Conversion of Series D Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been effected on the Conversion Date.  Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered for conversion, the Company shall issue and deliver to such holder at the expense of the Company, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered as required by Section 5(b)(ii).


(m)­

Regulatory Compliance .  If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of Series D Preferred Stock require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as



13




expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.


6.­

No Preemptive Rights .  Except as provided in Section 5 hereof and in the Agreements, no holder of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to rights to subscribe for, purchase or receive any part of any new or additional shares of any class, whether now or hereinafter authorized, or of bonds or debentures, or other evidences of indebtedness convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any class, but all such new or additional shares of any class, or any bond, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness convertible into or exchangeable for shares, may be issued and disposed of by the Board of Directors on such terms and for such consideration (to the extent permitted by law), and to such person or persons as the Board of Directors in their absolute discretion may deem advisable.


7.­

Conversion Restriction .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5 of this Certificate of Designation, at no time may a holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock convert shares of the Series D Preferred Stock if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would cause the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such holder and its affiliates at such time to exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such holder and its affiliates at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such holder and its affiliates beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided , however , that upon a holder of Series D Preferred Stock providing the Company with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 5(i) hereof) (the "Waiver Notice") that such holder would like to waive Section 7 of this Certificate of Designation with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series D Preferred Stock, this Section 7 shall be of no force or effect with regard to those shares of Series D Preferred Stock referenced in the Waiver Notice.

Mechanics of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Triggering Event .  Within one (1) business day after the Company obtains knowledge of the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier ("Notice of Triggering Event") to each holder of Series D Preferred Stock.  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 D Preferred Stock then outstanding may require the Company to redeem all of the Series D Preferred Stock by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier ("Notice of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Triggering Event") to the Company, which Notice of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Triggering Event shall indicate (i) the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock that such holder is electing to redeem and (ii) the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price, as calculated pursuant to Section 8(b) above.  


(g)

Payment of Redemption Price .  Upon the Company's receipt of a Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Triggering Event or a Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Major Transaction from any holder of Series D Preferred Stock, the Company shall immediately notify each holder of Series D Preferred Stock by facsimile of the Company's receipt of such Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Triggering Event or Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Major Transaction and each holder which has sent such a notice shall promptly submit to the Company such holder's Preferred Stock Certificates which such holder has elected to have redeemed.  Other than with respect to the Triggering Event described in clause (iv) of Section 8(d), the Company shall have the sole option to pay the Redemption Price in cash or shares of Common Stock in accordance with Sections 8(a) and (b) and Section 9 of this Certificate of Designation.  The Company shall deliver the applicable Major Transaction Redemption Price immediately prior to the consummation of the Major Transaction; provided that a holder's Preferred Stock Certificates shall have been so delivered to the Company; provided further that if the Company is unable to redeem all of the Series D Preferred Stock to be redeemed, the Company shall redeem an amount from each holder of Series D Preferred Stock being redeemed equal to such holder's pro-rata amount (based on the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by such holder relative to the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding) of all Series D Preferred Stock being redeemed.  If the Company shall fail to redeem all of the Series D Preferred Stock submitted for redemption (other than pursuant to a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the Redemption Price), in addition to any remedy such holder of Series D Preferred Stock may have under this Certificate of Designation and the Agreements, the applicable Redemption Price payable in respect of such unredeemed Series D Preferred Stock shall bear interest at the rate of 1.0% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.  Until the Company pays such unpaid applicable Redemption Price in full to a holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock submitted for redemption, such holder shall have the option (the "Void Optional Redemption Option") to, in lieu of redemption, require the Company to promptly return to such holder(s) all of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock that were submitted for redemption by such holder(s) under this Section 8 and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Company via facsimile (the "Void Optional Redemption Notice").  Upon the Company's receipt of such Void Optional Redemption Notice(s) and prior to payment of the full applicable Redemption Price to such holder, (i) the Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Major Transaction shall be null and void with respect to those shares of Series D Preferred



17




Stock submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid and (ii) the Company shall immediately return any Series D Preferred Stock submitted to the Company by each holder for redemption under this Section 8(d) and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid and (iii) the Conversion Price of such returned shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price and (B) the lowest Closing Bid Price during the period beginning on the date on which the Notice(s) of Redemption of Option of Buyer Upon Major Transaction is delivered to the Company and ending on the date on which the Void Optional Redemption Notice(s) is delivered to the Company; provided that no adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.  A holder's delivery of a Void Optional Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not effect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice other than interest payments.  Payments provided for in this Section 8 shall have priority to payments to other stockholders in connection with a Major Transaction.


(h)

Demand Registration Rights .  If the Redemption Price upon the occurrence of a Major Transaction or a Triggering Event is paid in shares of Common Stock and such shares have not been previously registered on a registration statement under the Securities Act, a holder of Series D Preferred Stock may make a written request for registration under the Securities Act pursuant to this Section 8(h) of all of its shares of Common Stock issued upon such Major Transaction or Triggering Event.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be filed and declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than the ninetieth (90 th ) day after such holder’s request is made) a registration statement under the Securities Act, providing for the sale of all of the shares of Common Stock issued upon such Major Transaction or Triggering Event by such holder.  The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to keep any such registration statement continuously effective for resale of the Common Stock for so long as such holder shall request, but in no event later than the date that the shares of Common Stock issued upon such Major Transaction or Triggering Event may be offered for resale to the public without any volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144.


9.­

Inability to Fully Convert .


(a)­

Holder's Option if Company Cannot Fully Convert .  If, upon the Company's receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company cannot issue shares of Common Stock for any reason, including, without limitation, because the Company (x) does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available, or (y) is otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Company or its securities from issuing all of the Common Stock which is to be issued to a holder of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to a Conversion Notice, then the Company shall issue as many shares of Common Stock as it is able to issue in accordance with such holder's Conversion Notice and pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) above and, with respect to the unconverted Series D Preferred Stock, the holder, solely at such holder's option, can elect, within five (5) business days after receipt of notice from the Company thereof to:




18




(i)

require the Company to redeem from such holder those Series D Preferred Stock for which the Company is unable to issue Common Stock in accordance with such holder's Conversion Notice ("Mandatory Redemption") at a price per share equal to the Major Transaction Redemption Price as of such Conversion Date (the "Mandatory Redemption Price"); provided that the Company shall have the sole option to pay the Mandatory Redemption Price in cash or shares of Common Stock;


(ii)

void its Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, the shares of Series D Preferred Stock that were to be converted pursuant to such holder's Conversion Notice (provided that a holder's voiding its Conversion Notice shall not effect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice); or

exercise its Buy-In rights pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 5(b)(vi) hereof.


(b)­

Mechanics of Fulfilling Holder's Election .  The Company shall immediately send via facsimile to a holder of Series D Preferred Stock, upon receipt of a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice from such holder which cannot be fully satisfied as described in Section 9(a) above, a notice of the Company's inability to fully satisfy such holder's Conversion Notice (the "Inability to Fully Convert Notice").  Such Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason why the Company is unable to fully satisfy such holder's Conversion Notice, (ii) the number of Series D Preferred Stock which cannot be converted and (iii) the applicable Mandatory Redemption Price.  Such holder shall notify the Company of its election pursuant to Section 9(a) above by delivering written notice via facsimile to the Company ("Notice in Response to Inability to Convert").

Payment of Redemption Price .  If such holder shall elect to have its shares redeemed pursuant to Section 9(a)(i) above, the Company shall pay the Mandatory Redemption Price to such holder within thirty (30) days of the Company's receipt of the holder's Notice in Response to Inability to Convert, provided that prior to the Company's receipt of the holder's Notice in Response to Inability to Convert the Company has not delivered a notice to such holder stating, to the satisfaction of the holder, that the event or condition resulting in the Mandatory Redemption has been cured and all Conversion Shares issuable to such holder can and will be delivered to the holder in accordance with the terms of Section 2(g).  If the Company shall fail to pay the applicable Mandatory Redemption Price to such holder on a timely basis as described in this Section 9(c) (other than pursuant to a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation of the Redemption Price), in addition to any remedy such holder of Series D Preferred Stock may have under this Certificate of Designation and the Agreements, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of 2.0% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.  Until the full Mandatory Redemption Price is paid in full to such holder, such holder may (i) void the Mandatory Redemption with respect to those Series D Preferred Stock for which the full Mandatory Redemption Price has not been paid, (ii) receive back such Series D Preferred Stock, and (iii) require that the Conversion Price of such returned Series D Preferred Stock be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price and (B) the lowest Closing Bid Price during



19




the period beginning on the Conversion Date and ending on the date the holder voided the Mandatory Redemption.  


(d)­

Pro-rata Conversion and Redemption .  In the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Series D Preferred Stock on the same day and the Company can convert and redeem some, but not all, of the Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 9, the Company shall convert and redeem from each holder of Series D Preferred Stock electing to have Series D Preferred Stock converted and redeemed at such time an amount equal to such holder's pro-rata amount (based on the number shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by such holder relative to the number shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding) of all shares of Series D Preferred Stock being converted and redeemed at such time.


10.­

Vote to Change the Terms of or Issue Preferred Stock .  The affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting, of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock (in addition to any other corporate approvals then required to effect such action), shall be required (a) for any change to this Certificate of Designation or the Company's Articles of Incorporation which would amend, alter, change or repeal any of the powers, designations, preferences and rights of the Series D Preferred Stock or (b) for the issuance of shares of Series D Preferred Stock other than pursuant to the Agreements.


11.­
