The Reincorporation Merger

On January 5, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), Elite Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or "Elite Delaware") consummated a merger with Elite Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Elite Nevada”), its newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Reincorporation"). As a result of the Reincorporation, the legal domicile of Company is now Nevada.

As of the Effective Date, Elite Nevada, as the surviving corporation in the Reincorporation, continues to operate the business of Elite Delaware as it existed prior to the Reincorporation. Elite Delaware’s stockholders, at their Annual Meeting held on October 18, 2011, authorized the Company’s Board of Directors, in its discretion, to effect a change of domicile from Delaware to Nevada. On January 5, 2012, the Board determined to effect the Reincorporation. Other than the change in the state of incorporation, the Reincorporation did not result in any change in the business, physical location, management, assets, liabilities or obligations of Elite Delaware, nor did it result in any change in location of Elite Delaware’s employees, including Elite Delaware’s management. Each director and officer of Elite Delaware continues to hold his respective offices with Elite Nevada.

The Reincorporation did not alter any stockholder's percentage ownership interest or number of shares owned in Elite Delaware. As of the Effective Date, each outstanding share of Elite Delaware common stock and preferred stock automatically converted into an outstanding share of Elite Nevada common stock and preferred stock, respectively, and each outstanding option, warrant and other right to acquire shares of Elite Delaware common stock converted into an outstanding option, warrant or other right to acquire shares of Elite Nevada common stock. Stockholders are not required to undertake any exchange of stock certificates, as shares in Elite Delaware, are deemed to represent an equal number of shares in Elite Nevada. Furthermore, the Company's common stock will continue to trade on the OTC BB. As of the Effective Date, each employee benefit plan, incentive compensation plan or other similar plan of Elite Delaware converted into an employee benefit plan, incentive compensation plan or other similar plan of Elite Nevada.

In connection with the Reincorporation, as of the Effective Date, for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (i) Elite Nevada automatically inherited the Exchange Act reporting obligations of Elite Delaware, (ii) the common stock of Elite Nevada is deemed registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act by operation of Exchange Act Rule 12g-3(a) and (iii) Elite Nevada is deemed to be successor issuer to Elite Delaware.

As of the Effective Date, the rights of Elite Delaware's stockholders are governed by the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada (the "NGCL") and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Elite Nevada. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Elite Nevada include certain provisions which are required by the NGCL and may alter the rights of stockholders and powers of management. For a description and discussion of these differences, please refer to “ Proposal 3: Reincorporation In Nevada; Differences between Delaware and Nevada Law ” Elite Delaware's proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 31, 2011, which is incorporated by reference herein.

The form of dividend payments to each Holder shall be determined in the following order of priority: (i) if funds are legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have not been met during the 20 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date, in cash only; (ii) if funds are legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have been met during the 20 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date, at the sole election of the Corporation, in cash or shares of Common Stock which shall be valued solely for such purpose at 95% of the average of the VWAPs for the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day that is immediately prior to the Dividend Payment Date; (iii) if funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have been met during the 20 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date, in shares of Common Stock which shall be valued solely for such purpose at 95% of the average of the VWAPs for the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day that is immediately prior to the Dividend Payment Date; (iv) if funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends, in unregistered shares of Common Stock which shall be valued solely for such purpose at 95% of the average of the VWAPs for the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day that is immediately prior to the Dividend Payment Date. The Holders shall have the same rights and remedies with respect to the delivery of any such shares as if such shares were being issued pursuant to Section 6. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, shall accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date, and shall be deemed to accrue from such date whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Corporation pays dividends partially in cash and partially in shares, then such payment shall be distributed ratably among the Holders based upon the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by each Holder on such Dividend Payment Date. Any dividends, whether paid in cash or shares of Common Stock, that are not paid within five Trading Days following a Dividend Payment Date shall continue to accrue and shall entail a late fee, which must be paid in cash, at the rate of 18% per annum or the lesser rate permitted by applicable law (such fees to accrue daily, from the Dividend Payment Date through and including the date of payment). If at any time the Corporation delivers a notice to the Holders of its election to pay the dividends in shares of Common Stock, the Corporation shall timely file a prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424 disclosing such election, to the extent required by applicable law.

b) So long as any Series B Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary thereof shall redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any Junior Securities except as expressly permitted by Section 9(a)(ix). So long as any Series B Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, (i) neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary thereof shall directly or indirectly pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution upon (other than a dividend or distribution described in Section 6 or dividends due and paid in the ordinary course on preferred stock of the Corporation at such times when the Corporation is in compliance with its payment and other obligations hereunder), (ii) nor shall any distribution be made in respect of, any Junior Securities as long as any dividends due on the Series B Preferred Stock remain unpaid, (iii) nor shall any monies be set aside for or applied to the purchase or redemption (through a sinking fund or otherwise) of any Junior Securities or shares PARI PASSU with the Series B Preferred Stock (other than in the case of a purchase or redemption of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock that occurs simultaneous with the purchase or redemption of shares of Series B Preferred Stock).

c) The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that the capital of the Corporation (as such term is used in applicable provisions of the (Nevada Revised Statutes) in respect of the Series B Preferred Stock and any future issuances of the Corporation's capital stock shall be equal to the aggregate par value of such Series B Preferred Stock or capital stock, as the case may be, and that, on or after the date of the 2006 Purchase Agreement, it shall not increase the capital of the Corporation with respect to any shares of the Corporation's capital stock issued and outstanding on such date. The Corporation also acknowledges and agrees that it shall not create any special reserves out of funds of the corporation available for dividends for any purpose without the prior written consent of each Holder.

d) The Series B Preferred Stock shall rank PARI PASSU with the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to all dividend payments.

SECTION 4. VOTING RIGHTS. Except as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise required by law, the Series B Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 50%, in the aggregate, of the then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Preferred Stock or alter or amend Section 4.4 of the Articles of Incorporation, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation (as defined in Section 5) senior to or otherwise PARI PASSU with the Preferred Stock, (c) amend its articles of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, (d) increase the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock, or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the above, this Section 4 shall not apply to any security issued in connection with a Strategic Transaction that ranks as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation that is PARI PASSU with or junior to the Preferred Stock.

SECTION 5. LIQUIDATION. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a "LIQUIDATION"), the Holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Corporation an amount equal to the Stated Value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and any other fees or liquidated damages owing thereon, for each share of Series B Preferred Stock before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities, and if the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the Holders shall be ratably distributed among the holders of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. A Fundamental Transaction or Change of Control Transaction shall not be deemed a Liquidation. The Corporation shall mail written notice of any such Liquidation, not less than 45 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each Holder. The Series B Preferred Stock shall rank PARI PASSU with the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to distributions upon a Liquidation.

SECTION 6. CONVERSION.

a) CONVERSIONS AT OPTION OF HOLDER. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time from and after the Original Issue Date into that number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(c) and Section 6(d)) determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Series B Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as ANNEX A (a "NOTICE OF CONVERSION"). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the Holder delivers by facsimile such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (the "CONVERSION DATE"). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. To effect conversions, as the case may be, of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case the Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Series B Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.

b) CONVERSION PRICE. The conversion price for the Series B Preferred Stock shall equal $0.15 subject to adjustment herein (the "CONVERSION PRICE").

c) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP LIMITATION. The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series B Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder's Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder's Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Stated Value of Series B Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including the Warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6(c) applies, the determination of whether the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and of how many shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder's determination of whether the shares of Series B Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and how many shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are convertible, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitations. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 6(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (A) the Corporation's most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (C) a more recent notice by the Corporation or the Corporation's transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Corporation shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including the Series B Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The "BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP LIMITATION” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock held by the Holder. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 6(c) may be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61 days' prior notice to the Corporation, to change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 6(c) shall continue to apply. Upon such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation from such 4.99% limitation to such 9.99% limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not be further waived by such Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6(c) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of Series B Preferred Stock. This Section 6(c) shall not apply to the Corporation's exercise of its rights under Section 8.

d) TRADING MARKET LIMITATIONS. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Corporation has not obtained Shareholder Approval (as defined below), then the Corporation may not issue upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock, which, when aggregated with any shares of Common Stock issued prior to such Conversion Date (A) upon conversion of or as payment of dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock, (B) upon exercise of the Warrants issued pursuant to that certain 2006 Purchase Agreement and (C) pursuant to any warrants issued to any registered broker-dealer as a fee in connection with the Securities issued pursuant to the 2006 Purchase Agreement, would exceed 19.999% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Original Issue Date (such number of shares, the "ISSUABLE MAXIMUM"). Each Holder shall be entitled to a portion of the Issuable Maximum equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) such the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock initially purchased by such Holder by (y) the aggregate number of shares purchased by all Holders. Such portion shall be adjusted upward ratably in the event all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock initially purchased by any Holder are no longer outstanding. If at any time (i) the number of shares of Common Stock which could, notwithstanding the limitation set forth herein, be issued to all Holders during the following 12 months (assuming all dividends are paid in shares of Common Stock during such period of determination based upon the VWAP at the time of any such determination) equals or exceeds the Issuable Maximum and (ii) the Corporation's voting shareholders shall not have previously approved the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents as may be required by an applicable rule or listing policy of a Trading Market (the "SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL"), then the Corporation shall issue to the Holder requesting conversion a number of shares of Common Stock equal to such Holder's pro-rata portion (which shall be calculated pursuant to the terms hereof) of the Issuable Maximum, and with respect to the remainder of the Series B Preferred Stock (including any accrued dividends) then held by such Holder for which a conversion in accordance with the applicable Conversion Price would result in an issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of such Holder's pro-rata portion (which shall be calculated pursuant to the terms hereof) of the Issuable Maximum (the "EXCESS PREFERRED"), the Corporation shall be prohibited from converting such Excess Preferred, and shall promptly notify the Holder of the reason therefore. The Excess Preferred shall thereafter be unconvertible to such extent until and unless Shareholder Approval is subsequently obtained, but the rights and preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock otherwise set forth in Section 4.4 of the Articles of Incorporation shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

e) MECHANICS OF CONVERSION

i. DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATE UPON CONVERSION. Not later than three Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the "SHARE DELIVERY DATE"), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates which, on or after the Effective Date, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends (if the Corporation has elected or is required to pay accrued dividends in cash). On or after the Effective Date, the Corporation shall, upon request of the Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section 6 electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the fifth Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion Notice by written notice to the Corporation, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to the Holder any original Series B Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly return any Common Stock certificates representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock tendered for conversion to the Corporation.

ii. OBLIGATION ABSOLUTE; PARTIAL LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. The Corporation's obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Corporation of any such action that the Corporation may have against the Holder. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of the Stated Value of its Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Series B Preferred Stock of the Holder shall have been sought and obtained. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares and, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Corporation fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 6(e)(i) on the second Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Corporation shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Stated Value of Series B Preferred Stock being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after such damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such second Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages for the Corporation's failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The Exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

iii. COMPENSATION FOR BUY-IN ON FAILURE TO TIMELY DELIVER CERTIFICATES UPON CONVERSION. If the Corporation fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 6(e)(i), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a "BUY-IN"), then the Corporation shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock submitted for conversion or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6(e)(i). For example, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock with respect to which the actual sale price (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Corporation, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Corporation's failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

iv. RESERVATION OF SHARES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and payment of dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions in the 2006 Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and payment of dividends hereunder. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Conversion Shares Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public sale in accordance with such Conversion Shares Registration Statement.

v. FRACTIONAL SHARES. Upon a conversion hereunder, the Corporation shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the VWAP at such time. If the Corporation elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.

vi. TRANSFER TAXES. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Series B Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock so converted and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

SECTION 7. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS.

a) STOCK DIVIDENDS AND STOCK SPLITS. If the Corporation, at any time while this Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, this Series B Preferred Stock); (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; (C) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or (D) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b) SUBSEQUENT EQUITY SALES. If the Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof, at any time while this Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice its securities (other than a reduction in the Exercise Price of the Warrants issued to the Holders on the Original Issue Date), or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then applicable Conversion Price (such issuances collectively, a "DILUTIVE ISSUANCE") (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then applicable Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the then applicable Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the then applicable Conversion Price shall be reduced to a price determined by multiplying the then applicable Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus (C) the number of shares of Common Stock which the offering price for such Dilutive Issuance would purchase at the then applicable Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (X) the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus (Y) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus (Z) the number of shares of Common Stock so issued or issuable in connection with the Dilutive Issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 7(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance or any exchange of shares of any outstanding preferred stock of the Corporation for shares of a validly authorized, newly-created series of preferred stock. The Corporation shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Business Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 7(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the "DILUTIVE ISSUANCE Notice"). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Corporation provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 7(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the adjusted Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the adjusted Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.

c) SUBSEQUENT RIGHTS OFFERINGS. If the Corporation, at any time while this Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is lower than the VWAP on the record date referenced below, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming delivery to the Corporation in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants. If any such rights, options or warrants expire without having been exercise, the Conversion Price as adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect had an adjustment been made on the basis that only additional shares of Common Stock so issued were the additional shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold on the exercise of such rights, options or warrants and such additional shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation for the granting of all such rights, options or warrants, whether or not exercised, provided that such readjustment shall not apply to prior conversions of the Series B Preferred Stock

d) PRO RATA DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Corporation, at any time while this Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security (other than Common Stock, which shall be subject to Section 7(b)), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets, evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement delivered to the Holder describing the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

e) FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION. If, at any time while this Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, (A) the Corporation effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person, (B) the Corporation effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Corporation effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a "FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION"), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Series B Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the "ALTERNATE CONSIDERATION"). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Series B Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate of Designation of the Series B Preferred Stock with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holder new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 7(e) and insuring that this Series B Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

f) CALCULATIONS. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.

g) NOTICE TO THE HOLDERS.

i. ADJUSTMENT TO CONVERSION PRICE. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. If the Corporation issues a variable rate security, despite the prohibition thereon in the 2006 Purchase Agreement, the Corporation shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be converted or exercised in the case of a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the 2006 Purchase Agreement).

ii. NOTICE TO ALLOW CONVERSION BY HOLDER. If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Series B Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be delivered to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder is entitled to convert the Conversion Amount of this Series B Preferred Stock (or any part hereof) during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

SECTION 8. FORCED CONVERSION; OPTIONAL REDEMPTION; AUTOMATIC MONTHLY CONVERSION.

a) FORCED CONVERSION. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that VWAP for each of any 20 consecutive Trading Day period exceeds the then applicable Conversion Price (such 20 consecutive Trading Day period, the "THRESHOLD PERIOD"), if (i)(x) the VWAP during the Threshold Period exceeds $1.00 (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like) and (y) the daily trading volume for each Trading Day during such Threshold Period exceeds 250,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like), (ii)(x) the VWAP during the Threshold Period exceeds $1.25 (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like) and (y) the daily trading volume for each Trading Day during such Threshold Period exceeds 200,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like), (iii)(x) the VWAP during the Threshold Period exceeds $1.50 (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like) and (y) the daily trading volume for each Trading Day during such Threshold Period exceeds 150,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like), or (iv)(x) the VWAP during the Threshold Period exceeds $1.75 (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like) and (y) the daily trading volume for each Trading Day during such Threshold Period exceeds 100,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like), then the Corporation may, within two Trading Days after the end of any such Threshold Period, deliver a written notice to all Holders (a "FORCED CONVERSION NOTICE” and the date such notice is delivered to all Holders, the "FORCED CONVERSION NOTICE DATE") to cause each Holder to convert all or part of such Holder's Series B Preferred Stock (as specified in such Forced Conversion Notice) plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon and all liquidated damages and other amounts due in respect of the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6, it being agreed that the "Conversion Date” for purposes of Section 6 shall be deemed to occur on the third Trading Day following the Forced Conversion Notice Date (such third Trading Day, the "FORCED CONVERSION DATE"). The Corporation may not deliver a Forced Conversion Notice, and any Forced Conversion Notice delivered by the Corporation shall not be effective, unless (y) a forced conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with the Series C Certificate occurs simultaneously with the forced conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with this Section 8(a), and (z) all of the Equity Conditions have been met on each Trading Day occurring during the applicable Threshold Period through and including the later of the Forced Conversion Date and the Trading Day after the date that the Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to such conversion are actually delivered to the Holder pursuant to the Forced Conversion Notice. Any Forced Conversion Notices shall be applied ratably to all of the holders of Preferred Stock based the number of shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder of Preferred Stock as of the forced Conversion Date, provided that any voluntary conversions by a Holder shall be applied against such Holder's pro-rata allocation, thereby decreasing the aggregate amount forcibly converted hereunder if less than all shares of the Preferred Stock are forcibly converted. For purposes of clarification, a Forced Conversion shall be subject to all of the provisions of Section 6, including, without limitation, the provisions requiring payment of liquidated damages and limitations on conversions.

b) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8, the Corporation may deliver a notice to the Holders (an "OPTIONAL REDEMPTION NOTICE” and the date such notice is deemed delivered hereunder, the "OPTIONAL REDEMPTION NOTICE DATE") of its irrevocable election to redeem some or all of the then outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, for cash in an amount equal to the Optional Redemption Amount on the 20th Trading Day following the Optional Redemption Notice Date (such date, the "OPTIONAL REDEMPTION DATE” and such redemption, the "OPTIONAL REDEMPTION"). The Optional Redemption Amount is payable in full on the Optional Redemption Date. The Corporation may only effect an Optional Redemption if each of the Equity Conditions shall have been met on each Trading Day occurring during the period commencing on the Optional Redemption Notice Date through to the Optional Redemption Date and through and including the date payment of the Optional Redemption Amount is actually made. If any of the Equity Conditions shall cease to be satisfied at any time during such 20 Trading Day period, then a Holder may elect to nullify the Optional Redemption Notice as to such Holder by notice to the Corporation within 3 Trading Days after the first day on which any such Equity Condition has not been met (provided that if the Corporation is obligated to notify the Holders of the non-existence of an Equity Condition, such notice period shall be extended to the third Trading Day after proper notice from the Corporation) in which case the Optional Redemption Notice shall be null and void, AB INITIO. Additionally, the Corporation may only effect an Optional Redemption if a similar redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with the Series C Certificate occurs simultaneously with the Optional Redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with this Section 8(b). The Corporation covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Conversion tendered from the time of delivery of the Optional Redemption Notice through the date the Optional Redemption Amount is paid in full. Any Optional Redemption Notices shall be applied ratably to all of the holders of Preferred Stock based the number of shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder of Preferred Stock as of the Optional Redemption Date, provided that any voluntary conversions by a Holder shall be applied against such Holder's pro-rata allocation, thereby decreasing the aggregate amount redeemed hereunder if less than all shares of the Preferred Stock are redeemed.

c) AUTOMATIC MONTHLY CONVERSION Subject to the terms herein, on each Monthly Conversion Date (as defined below), a number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal to each Holder’s pro-rata portion (based on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by each Holder on August 1, 2011) of the Monthly Conversion Amount (as defined below) shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at the then-effective Conversion Price (each such conversion, the “Monthly Conversion”). Each Holder may convert, pursuant to Section 6(a), all or a portion of its Series B Preferred Stock subject to a Monthly Conversion at any time prior to a Monthly Conversion Date. Any Series B Preferred Stock converted (other than pursuant to a Monthly Conversion) during the calendar month immediately prior to a Monthly Conversion Date shall be applied to such Holder’s pro rata portion of such Monthly Conversion Amount (up to such Holder’s pro rata portion for such month). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Corporation shall not be permitted to effect a Monthly Conversion on a Monthly Conversion Date unless (i) the Common Stock shall be listed or quoted for trading on a Trading Market, (ii) there is a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance of all Common Stock to be issued upon such Monthly Conversion, (iii) as to any Holder, the issuance of the shares shall not cause a breach of any provision of Section 6(c) herein, (iv) if requested by the Holder and a Rule 144 Rep Letter (as defined below) shall have been provided by such Holder after request from the Corporation, the Conversion Shares are delivered electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, may be resold by the Holder pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act and are otherwise free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions on the Holder, (v) there has been no public announcement of a pending or proposed Fundamental Transaction or Change of Control Transaction that has not been consummated, (vi) the applicable Holder is not in possession of any information provided to the applicable Holder by the Corporation that constitutes material non-public information, and (vii) the average VWAP for the 20 Trading Days immediately prior to the applicable Monthly Conversion Date equals or exceeds the then-effective Conversion Price. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (i) “ Monthly Conversion Date “means the first day of each month, commencing on September 1, 2011, and terminating on the date the Series B Preferred Stock is no longer outstanding; (ii) “ Monthly Conversion Amount “means an aggregate Stated Value of Series B Preferred Stock among all Holders that is equal to 35% of aggregate dollar trading volume of the Common Stock during the 20 Trading Days immediately prior to the applicable Monthly Conversion Date (such 20 Trading Day period, the “Measurement Period ”), increasing to 50% of the aggregate dollar trading volume during the Measurement Period if the average VWAP during such Measurement Period equals or exceeds $0.20 (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits and the like that occur after August 1, 2011) and further increasing to 70% of the aggregate dollar trading volume during such Measurement Period if the average VWAP during such Measurement Period equals or exceeds $0.25 (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits and the like that occur after August 1, 2011). All shares of Common Stock issued on a Monthly Conversion Date shall be delivered otherwise in accordance with the procedures and time frames set forth in Section 6 above. Upon the request of the Corporation, each Holder shall provide to the Corporation, a customary Rule 144 representation letter relating to all shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each Monthly Conversion (a “Rule 144 Rep Letter ”).

SECTION 9. [intentionally omitted]

SECTION 10. NEGATIVE COVENANTS. So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, without the affirmative written consent of the holders of at least 50%, in the aggregate, of the then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock:

a) other than Permitted Indebtedness, for a period of three years from the Original Issue Date, enter into, create, incur, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind, including but not limited to, a guarantee, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom;

SECTION 3. DIVIDENDS.

a) DIVIDENDS IN CASH OR IN KIND. Holders shall be entitled to receive, and the Corporation shall pay, cumulative dividends at the rate per share (as a percentage of the Stated Value per share) of 8% per annum, (subject to increases pursuant to Section 9(b)), payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning on the first such date after the Original Issue Date and on each Conversion Date (except that, if such date is not a Trading Day, the payment date shall be the next succeeding Trading Day) (each such date, a "DIVIDEND PAYMENT DATE") in cash or duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as set forth in this Section (a), or a combination thereof (the amount to be paid in shares of Common Stock, the "DIVIDEND SHARE AMOUNT"). The form of dividend payments to each Holder shall be determined in the following order of priority: (i) if funds are legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have not been met during the 20 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date, in cash only; (ii) if funds are legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have been met during the 20 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date, at the sole election of the Corporation, in cash or shares of Common Stock which shall be valued solely for such purpose at 95% of the average of the VWAPs for the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day that is immediately prior to the Dividend Payment Date; (iii) if funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have been met during the 20 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date, in shares of Common Stock which shall be valued solely for such purpose at 95% of the average of the VWAPs for the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day that is immediately prior to the Dividend Payment Date; (iv) if funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends, as to such Holder only, in unregistered shares of Common Stock which shall be valued solely for such purpose at 95% of the average of the VWAPs for the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day that is immediately prior to the Dividend Payment Date. The Holders shall have the same rights and remedies with respect to the delivery of any such shares as if such shares were being issued pursuant to Section 6. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, shall accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date, and shall be deemed to accrue from such date whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Corporation pays dividends partially in cash and partially in shares, then such payment shall be distributed ratably among the Holders based upon the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by each Holder on such Dividend Payment Date. Any dividends, whether paid in cash or shares of Common Stock, that are not paid within five Trading Days following a Dividend Payment Date shall continue to accrue and shall entail a late fee, which must be paid in cash, at the rate of 18% per annum or the lesser rate permitted by applicable law (such fees to accrue daily, from the Dividend Payment Date through and including the date of payment). If at any time the Corporation delivers a notice to the Holders of its election to pay the dividends in shares of Common Stock, the Corporation shall timely file a prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424 disclosing such election, to the extent required by applicable law.

b) So long as any Series C Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary thereof shall redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any Junior Securities except as expressly permitted by Section 9(a)(ix). So long as any Series C Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, (i) neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary thereof shall directly or indirectly pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution upon (other than a dividend or distribution described in Section 6 or dividends due and paid in the ordinary course on preferred stock of the Corporation at such times when the Corporation is in compliance with its payment and other obligations hereunder), (ii) nor shall any distribution be made in respect of, any Junior Securities as long as any dividends due on the Series C Preferred Stock remain unpaid, (iii) nor shall any monies be set aside for or applied to the purchase or redemption (through a sinking fund or otherwise) of any Junior Securities or shares PARI PASSU with the Series C Preferred Stock (other than in the case of a purchase or redemption of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock that occurs simultaneous with the purchase or redemption of shares of Series C Preferred Stock).

c) The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that the capital of the Corporation (as such term is used in NRS) in respect of the Series C Preferred Stock and any future issuances of the Corporation's capital stock shall be equal to the aggregate par value of such Series C Preferred Stock or capital stock, as the case may be, and that, on or after the date of the 2007 Purchase Agreement, it shall not increase the capital of the Corporation with respect to any shares of the Corporation's capital stock issued and outstanding on such date. The Corporation also acknowledges and agrees that it shall not create any special reserves out of funds of the corporation available for dividends for any purpose without the prior written consent of each Holder.

d) The Series C Preferred Stock shall rank PARI PASSU with the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to all dividend payments.

SECTION 4. VOTING RIGHTS. Except as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise required by law, the Series C Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 50%, in the aggregate, of the then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Preferred Stock or alter or amend Section 4.5 of the Articles of Incorporation, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation (as defined in Section 5) senior to or otherwise PARI PASSU with the Preferred Stock, (c) amend its articles of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, (d) increase the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock, or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the above, this Section 4 shall not apply to any security issued in connection with a Strategic Transaction that ranks as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation that is PARI PASSU with or junior to the Preferred Stock.

SECTION 5. LIQUIDATION. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a "LIQUIDATION"), the Holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Corporation an amount equal to the Stated Value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and any other fees or liquidated damages owing thereon, for each share of Series C Preferred Stock before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities, and if the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the Holders shall be ratably distributed among the holders of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. A Fundamental Transaction or Change of Control Transaction shall not be deemed a Liquidation. The Corporation shall mail written notice of any such Liquidation, not less than 45 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each Holder. The Series C Preferred Stock shall rank PARI PASSU with the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to distributions upon a Liquidation.

SECTION 6. CONVERSION.

a) CONVERSIONS AT OPTION OF HOLDER. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time from and after the Original Issue Date into that number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(c) and Section 6(d)) determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Series C Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as ANNEX A (a "NOTICE OF CONVERSION"). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the Holder delivers by facsimile such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (the "CONVERSION DATE"). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. To effect conversions, as the case may be, of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares of Series C Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case the Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Series C Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. Shares of Series C Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.

b) CONVERSION PRICE. The conversion price for the Series C Preferred Stock shall equal $0.15, subject to adjustment herein (the "CONVERSION PRICE").

c) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP LIMITATION. The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series C Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder's Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder's Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). The Corporation shall not give effect to any voting rights of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and any Holder shall not have the right to exercise voting rights with respect to any Series C Preferred Stock pursuant hereto, to the extent that giving effect to such voting rights would result in such Holder (together with its affiliates) being deemed to beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, assuming such exercise as being equivalent to conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Stated Value of Series C Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including the Warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6(c) applies, the determination of whether the Series C Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and of how many shares of Series C Preferred Stock are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder's determination of whether the shares of Series C Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and how many shares of the Series C Preferred Stock are convertible, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitations. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 6(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (A) the Corporation's most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (C) a more recent notice by the Corporation or the Corporation's transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Corporation shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including the Series C Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The "Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series C Preferred Stock held by the Holder. By written notice to the Corporation, any Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder providing such written notice and not to any other Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6(c) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of Series C Preferred Stock. This Section 6(c) shall not apply to the Corporation's exercise of its rights under Section 8.

d) TRADING MARKET LIMITATIONS. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Corporation has not obtained Shareholder Approval (as defined below), then the Corporation may not issue upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock, which, when aggregated with any shares of Common Stock issued prior to such Conversion Date (A) upon conversion of or as payment of dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock, (B) upon exercise of the Warrants issued pursuant to that certain 2007 Purchase Agreement and (C) pursuant to any warrants issued to any registered broker-dealer as a fee in connection with the Securities issued pursuant to the 2007 Purchase Agreement, would exceed 19.999% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Original Issue Date (such number of shares, the "ISSUABLE MAXIMUM"). Each Holder shall be entitled to a portion of the Issuable Maximum equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) such the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock initially purchased by such Holder by (y) the aggregate number of shares purchased by all Holders. Such portion shall be adjusted upward ratably in the event all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock initially purchased by any Holder are no longer outstanding. If at any time (i) the number of shares of Common Stock which could, notwithstanding the limitation set forth herein, be issued to all Holders during the following 12 months (assuming all dividends are paid in shares of Common Stock during such period of determination based upon the VWAP at the time of any such determination) equals or exceeds the Issuable Maximum and (ii) the Corporation's voting shareholders shall not have previously approved the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents as may be required by an applicable rule or listing policy of a Trading Market (the "SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL"), then the Corporation shall issue to the Holder requesting conversion a number of shares of Common Stock equal to such Holder's pro-rata portion (which shall be calculated pursuant to the terms hereof) of the Issuable Maximum, and with respect to the remainder of the Series C Preferred Stock (including any accrued dividends) then held by such Holder for which a conversion in accordance with the applicable Conversion Price would result in an issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of such Holder's pro-rata portion (which shall be calculated pursuant to the terms hereof) of the Issuable Maximum (the "EXCESS PREFERRED"), the Corporation shall be prohibited from converting such Excess Preferred, and shall promptly notify the Holder of the reason therefore. The Excess Preferred shall thereafter be unconvertible to such extent until and unless Shareholder Approval is subsequently obtained, but the rights and preferences of the Series C Preferred Stock otherwise set forth in Section 4.5 of the Articles of Incorporation shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

e) MECHANICS OF CONVERSION

i. DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATE UPON CONVERSION. Not later than three Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the "SHARE DELIVERY DATE"), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates which, on or after the Effective Date, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends (if the Corporation has elected or is required to pay accrued dividends in cash). On or after the Effective Date, the Corporation shall, upon request of the Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section 6 electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the fifth Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion Notice by written notice to the Corporation, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to the Holder any original Series C Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly return any Common Stock certificates representing the shares of Series C Preferred Stock tendered for conversion to the Corporation.

ii. OBLIGATION ABSOLUTE; PARTIAL LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. The Corporation's obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Corporation of any such action that the Corporation may have against the Holder. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of the Stated Value of its Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Series C Preferred Stock of the Holder shall have been sought and obtained. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares and, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Corporation fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 6(e)(i) on the second Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Corporation shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Stated Value of Series C Preferred Stock being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after such damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such second Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages for the Corporation's failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The Exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

iii. COMPENSATION FOR BUY-IN ON FAILURE TO TIMELY DELIVER CERTIFICATES UPON CONVERSION. If the Corporation fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 6(e)(i), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a "BUY-IN"), then the Corporation shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the shares of Series C Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock submitted for conversion or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6(e)(i). For example, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock with respect to which the actual sale price (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Corporation, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Corporation's failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

iv. RESERVATION OF SHARES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and payment of dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions in the 2007 Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and payment of dividends hereunder. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Conversion Shares Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public sale in accordance with such Conversion Shares Registration Statement.

vi. TRANSFER TAXES. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock so converted and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

SECTION 7. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS.

a) STOCK DIVIDENDS AND STOCK SPLITS. If the Corporation, at any time while this Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, this Series C Preferred Stock); (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; (C) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or (D) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b) SUBSEQUENT EQUITY SALES. If the Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof, at any time while this Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice its securities (other than a reduction in the Exercise Price of the Warrants issued to the Holders on the Original Issue Date), or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then applicable Conversion Price (such issuances collectively, a "DILUTIVE ISSUANCE") (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then applicable Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the then applicable Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the then applicable Conversion Price shall be reduced to a price determined by multiplying the then applicable Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus (C) the number of shares of Common Stock which the offering price for such Dilutive Issuance would purchase at the then applicable Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (X) the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus (Y) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus (Z) the number of shares of Common Stock so issued or issuable in connection with the Dilutive Issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 7(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance or any exchange of shares of any outstanding preferred stock of the Corporation for shares of a validly authorized, newly-created series of preferred stock. The Corporation shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Business Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 7(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the "DILUTIVE ISSUANCE Notice"). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Corporation provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 7(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the adjusted Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the adjusted Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.

c) SUBSEQUENT RIGHTS OFFERINGS. If the Corporation, at any time while this Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is lower than the VWAP on the record date referenced below, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming delivery to the Corporation in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants. If any such rights, options or warrants expire without having been exercise, the Conversion Price as adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect had an adjustment been made on the basis that only additional shares of Common Stock so issued were the additional shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold on the exercise of such rights, options or warrants and such additional shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation for the granting of all such rights, options or warrants, whether or not exercised, provided that such readjustment shall not apply to prior conversions of the Series C Preferred Stock

d) PRO RATA DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Corporation, at any time while this Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security (other than Common Stock, which shall be subject to Section 7(b)), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets, evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement delivered to the Holder describing the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

If, at any time while this Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, (A) the Corporation effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person, (B) the Corporation effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Corporation effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a "FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION"), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the "ALTERNATE CONSIDERATION"). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate of Designation of the Series C Preferred Stock with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holder new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 7(e) and insuring that this Series C Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

For purposes of clarification, a Forced Conversion shall be subject to all of the provisions of Section 6, including, without limitation, the provisions requiring payment of liquidated damages and limitations on conversions.

b) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8, the Corporation may deliver a notice to the Holders (an "OPTIONAL REDEMPTION NOTICE” and the date such notice is deemed delivered hereunder, the "OPTIONAL REDEMPTION NOTICE DATE") of its irrevocable election to redeem some or all of the then outstanding Series C Preferred Stock, for cash in an amount equal to the Optional Redemption Amount on the 20th Trading Day following the Optional Redemption Notice Date (such date, the "OPTIONAL REDEMPTION DATE” and such redemption, the "OPTIONAL REDEMPTION").

If any of the Equity Conditions shall cease to be satisfied at any time during such 20 Trading Day period, then a Holder may elect to nullify the Optional Redemption Notice as to such Holder by notice to the Corporation within 3 Trading Days after the first day on which any such Equity Condition has not been met (provided that if the Corporation is obligated to notify the Holders of the non-existence of an Equity Condition, such notice period shall be extended to the third Trading Day after proper notice from the Corporation) in which case the Optional Redemption Notice shall be null and void, AB INITIO. Additionally, the Corporation may only effect an Optional Redemption if a similar redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock, in accordance with the Series C Certificate, occurs simultaneously with the Optional Redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with this Section 8(b). The Corporation covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Conversion tendered from the time of delivery of the Optional Redemption Notice through the date the Optional Redemption Amount is paid in full. Any Optional Redemption Notices shall be applied ratably to all of the holders of Preferred Stock based the number of shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder of Preferred Stock as of the Optional Redemption Date, provided that any voluntary conversions by a Holder shall be applied against such Holder's pro-rata allocation, thereby decreasing the aggregate amount redeemed hereunder if less than all shares of the Preferred Stock are redeemed.

c) AUTOMATIC MONTHLY CONVERSIONS.

Notwithstanding the anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4(b), (A) the provisions set forth in clauses (ii) (B), (ix), (x), (xi) and (xii) shall not apply after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, if at such time the Holder does not own the Minimum Share Requirement and (B) if at any time after the Holder has acquired, pursuant to the Strategic Agreement or other Transaction Documents, a number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock and/or Conversion Shares representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation, on an as-converted basis, the Holder’s ownership percentage of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation, on an as-converted basis, falls below twenty percent (20%) as a result of Transfers made by the Holder, then the prior written consent of the Holder shall not be required prior to the consummation of any action of the Corporation referred to under this Section 4(b).

c) Except for the rights expressly set forth herein or in the Transaction Documents, nothing contained herein or in the other Transaction Documents shall give the Holder, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of the Corporation and the Corporation shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions hereof and the other Transaction Documents, complete control and supervision over its operations.

SECTION 5. LIQUIDATION. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation ”), the Holder shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Corporation an amount equal to the Stated Value for each share of Series E Preferred Stock held by the Holder before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities, including, without limitation, the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock. Upon a Liquidation, the Series E Preferred Stock will rank senior to any Junior Securities, including, without limitation, the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock. If the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the Holder shall be ratably distributed among the Holder in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on the shares of Series E Preferred Stock owned by the Holder as if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. The Corporation shall mail written notice to the Holder of any such Liquidation, not less than 45 calendar days prior to the payment date stated therein.

SECTION 6. CONVERSION.

a) Conversions at Option of the Holder. Subject to Section 6(c) below, each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall be convertible at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time from and after the Original Issue Date into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Series E Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price. The Holder shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion ”). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock owned by the Holder prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock owned by the Holder subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the Holder delivers such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation in accordance with Section 10(a) (such date, the “Conversion Date ”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered in accordance with Section 10(a). The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. To effect conversions, as the case may be, of shares of Series E Preferred Stock, the Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares of Series E Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case the Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Series E Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. Shares of Series E Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.

b) CONVERSION PRICE. The conversion price for the Series E Preferred Stock shall equal U.S.$0.05, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price ”).

c) AUTHORIZED SHARE LIMITATIONS. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder’s ability to convert Series E Preferred Stock into Conversion Shares shall be limited to a number of Conversion Shares equal to the difference between (a) the Company’s total authorized shares of Common Stock as of the applicable Conversion Date, minus (b) as of the applicable Conversion Date, the sum of (i) the Company’s total issued and outstanding Common Stock and (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise or conversion, as applicable, of outstanding Common Stock Equivalents (including, without limitation, the Warrants, and the Series D Warrants). The portion of the Series E Preferred Stock which may not be converted as a result of this Section 6(c) shall thereafter be unconvertible to such extent until and unless approval by the Corporation’s stockholders of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock of the Corporation is subsequently obtained; provided, however, the rights and preferences of the Series E Preferred Stock otherwise set forth in Section 4.6 of the Articles of Incorporation shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, the voting rights of the Holder under Section 4(a) shall not be affected by the restrictions of this Section 6(c).

d) MECHANICS OF CONVERSION

i. DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATE UPON CONVERSION. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date ”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series E Preferred Stock.

ii. OBLIGATION ABSOLUTE; PARTIAL LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Subject to the limits set forth in Section 6(c), the Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series E Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided , however , that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Corporation of any such action that the Corporation may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder shall elect to convert any or all of the Stated Value of its shares of Series E Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or any one associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to the Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Series E Preferred Stock of the Holder shall have been sought and obtained. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares and, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Corporation’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

iii. RESERVATION OF CONVERSION SHARES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times take all steps necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock, as provided herein, and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, as provided in such Warrants, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock and upon the exercise of the Warrants. To the extent that the Amendment does not result in an increase of the Corporation’s authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock adequate for the conversion in full of the Series E Preferred Stock and exercise in full of the Warrants, the Corporation shall undertake to promptly seek stockholder approval to increase such number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

iv. FRACTIONAL SHARES. Upon a conversion hereunder, the Corporation shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the VWAP at such time. If the Corporation elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.

v. TRANSFER TAXES. The issuance of certificates for Conversion Shares on conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of Series E Preferred Stock so converted and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

SECTION 7. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS.

a) STOCK DIVIDENDS AND STOCK SPLITS. If the Corporation, at any time while the Series E Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, the Existing Preferred Stock); (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; (C) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or (D) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b) SUBSEQUENT DILUTIVE ISSUANCES. If the Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof, at any time while this Series E Preferred Stock is outstanding, sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice its securities (other than a reduction in the Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant) of the Warrant issued to the Holder on the Original Issue Date), or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in connection with an Exempt Issuance, for which the Holder’s consent was not required under Section 4(b), entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then applicable Conversion Price (any such issuance, a “Dilutive Issuance ”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then applicable Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the then applicable Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the then applicable Conversion Price shall be reduced to a price determined by multiplying the then applicable Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock which the offering price for such Dilutive Issuance would purchase at the then applicable Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus (3) the number of shares of Common Stock so issued or issuable in connection with the Dilutive Issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 7(b) in respect of any issuance as to which the Holder has provided its written approval under Section 4(b) or otherwise. The Corporation shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than five (5) Business Days following a Dilutive Issuance, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice ”). Such Dilutive Issuance Notice shall be given by the Corporation to the Holder in accordance with Section 10(a). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Corporation provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 7(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the adjusted Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the adjusted Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.

c) SUBSEQUENT DIVIDEND ISSUANCES. If the Corporation, at any time while the Series E Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall issue shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash in satisfaction of its dividend obligations on shares of outstanding Existing Preferred Stock in accordance with the Series B Certificate and Series C Certificate, as applicable (any such issuance, a “Dividend Issuance”), then the then applicable Conversion Price shall be reduced to a price equal to (i) the aggregate Stated Value of Series E Preferred Stock then outstanding divided by (ii) the product of (x) aggregate number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the then outstanding Series E Preferred Stock immediately prior to Dividend Issuance multiplied by (y) the sum of one plus a fraction with: (A) a numerator equal to (I) the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after giving effect to the Dividend Issuance (assuming conversion of all Existing Preferred Stock in accordance with the Series B Certificate and Series C Certificate, as applicable, but not the Series E Preferred Stock) minus (II) the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Dividend Issuance (assuming conversion of all Existing Preferred Stock in accordance with the Series B Certificate and Series C Certificate, as applicable, but not the Series E Preferred Stock); and (B) a denominator equal to the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Dividend Issuance (assuming conversion of all Existing Preferred Stock in accordance with the Series B Certificate and Series C Certificate, as applicable, but not the Series E Preferred Stock). The Corporation shall notify the Holder in writing following a Dividend Issuance, indicating therein the occurrence of the applicable Dividend Issuance triggering such adjustment and the calculation of such adjusted Conversion Price (such notice, the “Dividend Issuance Notice ”). Such Dividend Issuance Notice shall be given by the Corporation to the Holder in accordance with Section 10(a). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Corporation provides a Dividend Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 7(c), upon the occurrence of any Dividend Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the adjusted Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dividend Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the adjusted Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.

d) PRO RATA DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Corporation, at any time while the Series E Preferred Stock is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security (other than Common Stock, which shall be subject to Sections 7(b)and 7(c)), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets, evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement delivered to the Holder describing the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

e) FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION. If, at any time while the Series E Preferred Stock is outstanding, (A) the Corporation effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person (other than the Holder), (B) the Corporation effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, other than to the Holder, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person (other than the Holder)) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Corporation effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration ”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate of Designation of the Series E Preferred Stock with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holder new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 7(f) and insuring that the Series E Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

g) NOTICE TO THE HOLDER.

i. ADJUSTMENT TO CONVERSION PRICE. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly cause to be delivered to the Holder in accordance with Section 10(a) a written notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii. NOTICE TO ALLOW CONVERSION BY THE HOLDER. If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder in accordance with Section 10(a), at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that, except in respect of the approval of the stockholders described in the preceding clause (D), the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder is entitled to convert the Conversion Amount of the Series E Preferred Stock (or any part hereof) during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

SECTION 8. FORCED CONVERSION. At any time following the date upon which there are no outstanding shares of Series B and Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation may automatically convert all of the then outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Price (such automatic conversion, the “Forced Conversion ”), if, after giving effect to the Forced Conversion, the Conversion Shares issued to the Holder upon such Forced Conversion plus the number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder immediately prior to such Forced Conversion shall equal a number of shares of Common Stock that is greater than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding Common Stock. The Holder will be given at least five (5) Business Days' prior written notice of the date fixed and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all of such shares of Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8. Such written notice shall be given by the Corporation to the Holder in accordance with Section 10(a). On or before the date fixed for conversion the Holder shall surrender its certificate or certificates for all such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice, and shall thereafter receive certificates for the number of Conversion Shares into which the Holder’s shares of Series E Preferred Stock are convertible. On the date fixed for conversion, all rights with respect to the Series E Preferred Stock so converted will terminate, except only the rights of the Holder, upon surrender of its certificate or certificates therefor, to receive certificates for the number of Conversion Shares into which such Series E Preferred Stock has been converted and payment of any declared and unpaid dividends thereon. If so required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the Holder. All certificates evidencing shares of Series E Preferred Stock which are required to be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof shall, from and after the date such certificates are so required to be surrendered, be deemed to have been retired and canceled and the shares of Series E Preferred Stock represented thereby converted into Common Stock for all purposes, notwithstanding the failure of the Holder to surrender such certificates on or prior to such date. As soon as practicable after the date of such mandatory conversion and the surrender of the certificate or certificates for Series E Preferred Stock as aforesaid, the Corporation shall cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder, or on or its written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of Conversion Shares issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and cash as provided in Section 6(d)(i) in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion.

SECTION 9. TRANSFERS. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, other than with respect to Transfers to Affiliates of the Holder, the Holder shall not be entitled to Transfer its shares of Series E Preferred Stock without the prior written consent of the Corporation; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9 shall prohibit or otherwise restrict the Holder’s ability to Transfer the Conversion Shares issued to it following a conversion of its shares of Series E Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof following the Lock-Up Period.

SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS.

a) NOTICES. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holder hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of Conversion, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Corporation, at the address set forth above, facsimile number (201) 750-2755, Attn: Chief Operating Officer, or such other facsimile number or address as the Corporation may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holder delivered in accordance with this Section 10. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Corporation hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to the Holder at the facsimile number or address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Corporation, or if no such facsimile number or address appears on the books of the Corporation, at the principal place of business of the Holder. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section 10 prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the date immediately following the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section 10 between 5:30 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (iii) the second Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

b) LOST OR MUTILATED SERIES E PREFERRED STOCK CERTIFICATE. If the Holder’s Series E Preferred Stock certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated certificate, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a new certificate for the shares of Series E Preferred Stock so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate, and of the ownership hereof reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation.

c) GOVERNING LAW. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of Section 4.6 of the Articles of Incorporation shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the “New York Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to Section 4.6 of the Articles of Incorporation or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of Section 4.6 of the Articles of Incorporation, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

d) WAIVER. Any waiver by the Corporation or the Holder of a breach of any provision of Section 4.6 of the Articles of Incorporation shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of Section 4.6 of the Articles of Incorporation. The failure of the Corporation or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of Section 4.6 of the Articles of Incorporation on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of Section 4.6 of the Articles of Incorporation.

e) SEVERABILITY. If any provision of Section 4.6 of the Articles of Incorporation is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of Section 4.6 of the Articles of Incorporation shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances.

b) Junior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Corporation and any class or series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation (collectively, together with any warrants, rights, calls or options exercisable for or convertible into such Preferred Stock, the “Senior Shares”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing the Series F Preferred Stock is Junior to the Series E Preferred Stock.

SECTION 3. DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. Commencing on the date of the issuance of any share of Series F Preferred Stock, (in each case, the “Issuance Date”), and subject to the rights of the Senior Shares, Holders of Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends on each outstanding share of Series F Preferred Stock (“Dividends”), which shall accrue on a cumulative basis in shares of Series F Preferred Stock at a rate equal to 10.0% per annum from the respective Issuance Date.

b) Accrued Dividends shall be paid upon redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock in accordance with Sections 5 and 6, and shall be redeemed at such time as part of such redemption.

SECTION 4. PROTECTIVE PROVISION.

b) The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event referred to in Section 4(a) unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Section 5.

SECTION 5. LIQUIDATION.

a) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for payment of debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Shares by reason of their ownership thereof, but after any distribution or payment to be made to the holders of any Senior Shares and simultaneous with any distribution or payment to be made to the holders of any pari passu shares, the Holders of Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders an amount with respect to each share of Series F Preferred Stock equal to $10,000.00 (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits or the like with respect to such shares), plus any accrued or declared but unpaid Dividends thereon (collectively, the “Series F Liquidation Value”). If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, and after any distribution or payment to be made to the holders of any Senior Shares, the amounts payable with respect to the shares of Series F Preferred Stock are not paid in full, the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall share equally and ratably in any distribution of assets of the Corporation in proportion to the liquidation preference and an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid Dividends, if any, to which each such holder is entitled.

b) After payment has been made to the Holders of the Series F Preferred Stock of the full amount of the Series F Liquidation Value, any remaining assets of the Corporation shall be distributed among the holders of Junior Shares in accordance with the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation.

c) If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to make payment in full to all Holders, then such assets shall be distributed among the Holders at the time outstanding, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

d) The value of any securities to be delivered to the Holders pursuant to this Section 5 shall be determined as follows:

ii. If actively traded over the counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the thirty day period ending three days prior to the Deemed Liquidity Date; and

iii. If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof as determined jointly in good faith by the Holder and the Corporation’s board of directors.

SECTION 6. REDEMPTION.

a) CORPORATION’S REDEMPTION OPTION. At any time after the initial Issuance date of the Series F Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall have the right, at the Corporation’s option, to redeem all (but not less than all) of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock, at a price per share of Series F Preferred Stock equal to the Series F Liquidation Value, which redemption may be effectuated in exchange for all (but not less than all) secured promissory notes (the “Promissory Notes”) issued by the Holder to the Corporation as set forth further below.

b) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. If the Corporation (a) enters into an agreement to or otherwise adopts or approves a plan or arrangement with respect to liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of its business and affairs, or (b) effects any Deemed Liquidation Event, the Corporation shall redeem the Series F Preferred Stock at the price set forth in Section 6(a) and in the manner set forth in Section 6(c) and Section 6(d) below.

c) MECHANICS OF REDEMPTION. Subject to Section 6(d) below, if the Corporation elects to redeem or is required to redeem the Holders’ Series F Preferred Stock then outstanding, it shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Redemption”) to each Holder, which Notice of Redemption shall indicate (A) the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock that the Corporation is electing to redeem or is required to redeem (which shall not be less than all of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock), (B) the redemption price calculated under Section 6(a) above, and (C) the manner and the place designated for the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares to be redeemed. The aggregate price of the Preferred Stock to be redeemed at the redemption price calculated under Section 6(a) above is referred to herein as the “Corporation Redemption Price”.

d) PAYMENT OF REDEMPTION PRICE. Upon receipt by any Holder of a Notice of Redemption, such Holder shall promptly submit to the Corporation such Holder’s Series F Preferred Stock certificates in the manner and at the place designated in the Notice of Redemption. Upon receipt of such Holder’s Series F Preferred Stock certificates, the Corporation shall pay the Corporation Redemption Price at the option of the Corporation either (i) in cash, or (ii) by offset against and in cancellation of all amounts due and owing under all outstanding promissory notes payable from Holder to the Corporation that were issued by Holder in connection with the exercise of Warrants or Additional Investment Rights (as those terms are defined in the Series F Purchase Agreement) by such Holder (the “Promissory Notes”) (it being understood that following such offset and cancellation, no further amounts are or shall be due or payable with respect to such shares of Series F Preferred Stock or such Promissory Notes and all of such shares of Series F Preferred Stock and Promissory Notes shall no longer be outstanding). For clarification purposes, in the event that the Corporation elects to pay the Corporation Redemption Price in cash under clause (i) above, it shall so notify Holder and Holder may thereafter elect to instead effect such redemption in exchange for Promissory Notes in accordance with clause (ii) above, in which case clause (ii) above shall apply.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, in the event of a mandatory redemption under Section 6(b) above, the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares of Series F Preferred Stock on any redemption date are insufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such date, those funds that are legally available will be used to redeem shares from the Holders ratably in proportion to the aggregate Corporation Redemption Prices that would be payable to each Holder if all shares required to be redeemed were being redeemed. If any Holder holds more than one series of Preferred Stock, the same proportion of each series of shares held by such holder will be redeemed. The shares of Series F Preferred Stock not redeemed shall remain outstanding and be entitled to all the rights and preferences provided herein. If any time thereafter additional funds become legally available for the redemption, such funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the shares which the Corporation has become obliged to redeem on any redemption date but which it has not redeemed. In the event that the limitations contained in this paragraph apply with respect to any mandatory redemption under Section 6(b) above and the Corporation determines, or is required by the Holder, to redeem the shares of Series F Preferred Stock in accordance with clause (ii) of Section 6(d) above, then the percentage of the Series F Preferred Stock then being redeemed as a result of the applicable of the limitations of this paragraph (in relation to all then outstanding shares Series F Preferred Stock) shall be redeemed in exchange for and in cancellation of the same percentage of then outstanding Promissory Notes (in relation to all then outstanding Promissory Notes) and from and after such redemption, no amounts shall be due and owning as to such shares of Series F Preferred Stock or such Promissory Notes then redeemed and exchanged and such shares of Series F Preferred Stock and such Promissory Notes then redeemed and exchanged shall no longer be outstanding.

SECTION 7. TRANSFERABILITY.

a. The Series F Preferred Stock constitutes “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Act and may only be disposed of in compliance with U.S. federal securities laws and applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Series F Preferred Stock may not be offered for sale, sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise distributed unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) Holder shall have delivered to the Corporation an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, in a form generally acceptable to the Corporation, to the effect that such Series F Preferred Stock to be offered for sale, sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise distributed may be offered for sale, sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise distributed pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) Holder provides the Corporation and its legal counsel with assurance reasonably acceptable to the Corporation that such Series F Preferred Stock can be offered for sale, sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise distributed pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Act;

b. So long as is required by this Section 7, the certificates or other instruments representing the Series F Preferred Stock shall bear any legends as required by applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, in addition to the following restrictive legend (and that a stop-transfer order shall be placed against transfer of such certificates):

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

c. The Corporation shall keep at its principal office, or at the offices of its Transfer Agent, a register of the Series F Preferred Stock. Upon the surrender of any certificate representing Series F Preferred Stock at such place, the Corporation, at the request of the record Holder of such certificate, shall execute and deliver (at the Corporation’s expense) a new certificate or certificates in exchange therefor representing in the aggregate the number of shares represented by the surrendered certificate. Each such new certificate shall be registered in such name and shall represent such number of shares as is requested by the Holder of the surrendered certificate and shall be substantially identical in form to the surrendered certificate.

Subject to the requirements of applicable law, all regular and special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be conducted in accordance with such rules and procedures as the Board of Directors may approve and, as to matters not governed by such rules and procedures, as the chairman of such meeting shall determine. The chairman of any regular or special meeting shall be the Chairman of the Board, or, in his absence, a person designated by the Board of Directors. The Secretary, or, in the absence of the Secretary, a person designated by the chairman of the meeting, shall act as secretary of the meeting.

Indemnification of Directors, Officers Employees and other Corporate Agents

Section 5.01. ACTION, ETC. OTHER THAN BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION . The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (all such persons being referred to hereinafter as an "Agent"), against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Section 5.02. ACTION, ETC., BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION . The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was an Agent against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

Section 5.03. DETERMINATION OF RIGHT OF INDEMNIFICATION. Any indemnification under Sections 5.01 or 5.02 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Agent is proper in the circumstances because the Agent has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 hereof, which determination is made (a) by the Board of Directors, by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (b) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (c) by the stockholders.

Section 5.04. INDEMNIFICATION AGAINST EXPENSES OF SUCCESSFUL PARTY . Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article V, to the extent that an Agent has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including the dismissal of an action without prejudice or the settlement of an action without admission of liability, in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 5.01 or 5.02 hereof, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Agent shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by such Agent in connection therewith.

Section 5.05. ADVANCES OF EXPENSES . Except as limited by Section 5.06 of this Article V, expenses incurred by an Agent in defending any civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, if the Agent shall undertake to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Article V. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the Corporation if a determination is reasonably and promptly made by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, or (if such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that, based upon the facts known to the Board of Directors or counsel at the time such determination is made, such person acted in bad faith and in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that such person believed or had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Section 5.06. RIGHT OF AGENT TO INDEMNIFICATION UPON APPLICATION; PROCEDURE UPON APPLICATION . Any indemnification or advance under this Article V shall be made promptly, and in any event within ninety days, upon the written request of the Agent, unless a determination shall be made in the manner set forth in the second sentence of Section 5.05 hereof that such Agent acted in a manner set forth therein so as to justify the Corporation's not indemnifying or making an advance to the Agent. The right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article V shall be enforceable by the Agent in any court of competent jurisdiction, if the Board of Directors or independent legal counsel denies the claim, in whole or in part, or if no disposition of such claim is made within ninety (90) days. The Agent's expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.

Section 5.07. OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES . The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article V shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Agent seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be an Agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. All rights to indemnification under this Article V shall be deemed to be provided by a contract between the Corporation and the Agent who serves in such capacity at any time while these Bylaws and other relevant provisions of the Nevada Private Corporations Law and other applicable law, if any, are in effect. Any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing.

Section 5.08. INSURANCE . Upon resolution passed by the Board of Directors, the Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an Agent against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article V.

Section 5.09. CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS . For the purposes of this Article V, references to "the Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, all constituent corporations (including all constituents of constituents) absorbed in a consolidation or merger as well as the resulting or surviving corporation, which, if the separate existence of such constituent corporation had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its Agents, so that any Agent of such constituent corporation shall stand in the same position under the provisions of the Article V with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as that Agent would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

Section 5.10. OTHER ENTERPRISES, FINES, AND SERVING AT CORPORATION'S REQUEST . For purposes of this Article V, references to "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to any employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation" as referred to in this Article V.

Section 5.11. SAVINGS CLAUSE . If this Article V or any portion thereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Agent as to expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether internal or external, including a grand jury proceeding and an action or suit brought by or in the right of the Corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article V that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law.

Any or all of the signatures on any certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

Section 6.03. TRANSFER AGENTS AND REGISTRARS . The Corporation may have one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars of its stock whose respective duties the Board of Directors or the Secretary may, from time to time, define.

Such date in any case shall be not more than sixty (60) days, and in case of a meeting of stockholders, not less than ten (10) days, prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of stockholders is to be taken.
