SECTION II
COLLATERAL
; OBLIGATIONS SECURED
Section 2.1
Grant and Description
. MTIX, as principal debtor and not just as surety, covenants with the Collateral Agent to pay or discharge on demand the Obligations if the Corporation fails itself to discharge the Obligations when due in accordance with their terms. In order to secure the full and complete payment and performance of the Obligations when due, MTIX hereby grants to the Collateral Agent (as trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties), subject to the Permitted Liens as beneficial owner, (a) a first fixed charge over all the assets forming part of the Collateral described in paragraph (a)(i) of Section 1(a) above (Intellectual Property) and (b) by way of floating charge, all the Collateral other than any part of the Collateral which is for the time being effectively charged hereunder by way of fixed charge pursuant to (a) above (“
Floating Charge Property
”) (together the “
Security Interest
”)
for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Security Agreement. If the grant, pledge, or collateral transfer or assignment of any specific item of the Collateral is expressly prohibited by any contract or by law, then the Security Interest created hereby nonetheless remains effective to the extent allowed by such contract or other applicable laws, but is otherwise limited by that prohibition.
Section 2.2
Conversion of Floating Charge.
The Collateral Agent may at any time after an Event of Default and after payment of the Obligations has been demanded from MTIX, by notice in writing to MTIX convert the floating charge hereby created into a fixed charge in respect of such part of the Floating Charged Property as may be specified in such notice and the ability of the Corporation or MTIX to deal in any manner with such part of the Floating Charged Property shall thereupon cease except to the extent otherwise agreed by the Collateral Agent. A floating charge will automatically crystallise and convert into a fixed charge over the relevant Floating Charge Property if a liquidator, administrative receiver, Receiver, administrator or other similar officer is appointed in respect of MTIX or all or a material part of its assets. No floating charge created under this Agreement will automatically crystallise and convert into a fixed charge solely by reason of a moratorium being obtained under section 1A of Schedule A1 of the Insolvency Act (or anything being done with a view to obtaining a moratorium).
Section 2.3
Continuing Security.
The Security created by this Agreement is continuing security for the payment and discharge of the Obligations. The provisions of this Agreement will apply at all times:
(a)
regardless of the date on which any of the Obligations were incurred;
(b)
in respect of the full amount of the Obligations at the relevant time (subject to the limits in the definition of the Obligations) even if the amount of the Obligations had previously been less than that amount.
The Security created by this Agreement is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by the Secured Parties.
Section 2.4
Security Interest.
MTIX shall, promptly upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time:
(a)
deposit with the Collateral Agent all documents of title or other evidence of ownership, together with such deeds, certificates and documents as the Collateral Agent may require, relating to the Collateral for the time being subject to a fixed charge; and
(b)
provide the Collateral Agent with all information it may reasonably request in relation to the Collateral.
Section 2.5
Intellectual Property.
Promptly following the request of the Collateral Agent, MTIX shall procure that an entry is made in each relevant public register of its Intellectual Property to record (where such recordal is possible) the existence of this Agreement and the restrictions imposed by it.
Section 2.6
Further assurance.
The Corporation and MTIX shall promptly take all such actions within their respective power and control, including executing all such documents, notices and instructions in such form as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require:
(a)
to create, perfect, protect and (if necessary) maintain the security created or intended to be created over any of its assets under this Agreement or for the exercise of any rights, powers and remedies of the Collateral Agent provided by or under this Agreement or by law or regulation;
(b)
to confer on the Collateral Agent security interests in or over any of its assets located in any jurisdiction other than England and Wales equivalent or similar to the security created or intended to be created by this Agreement; and
(c)
to facilitate the realization of the assets which are, or are intended to be, the subject of the security created by this Agreement after an Event of Default.
Section 2.7
Power to remedy.
If MTIX fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent (or its nominee) may (at MTIX’s expense) take such action as is reasonably necessary to protect any assets against the consequences of such non-compliance and to ensure compliance with such obligations.
Section 2.8
Power of attorney.
(a)
As security for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, MTIX irrevocably and severally appoints the Collateral Agent and each Receiver to be its attorney, with full power of substitution.
(b)
The attorney may, in the name of the MTIX and on its behalf and at its expense, do anything which MTIX is obliged to do under this Agreement but has failed to do or which is necessary in connection with the exercise of any of the rights, powers, authorities or discretions of the Collateral Agent in relation to the Collateral under this Agreement or any law or regulation.
(c)
MTIX each ratify and confirms anything properly done by any attorney under this Section. MTIX agrees to indemnify the attorney against all actions, claims, demands and proceedings taken or made against it and all costs, damages, expenses, liabilities and losses incurred by the attorney as a result of anything lawfully done by it under or in connection with this power of attorney.
Section 2.9
Collateral Agent
.
(a)
The Secured Parties hereby: (i) irrevocably designate the Collateral Agent as their agent to act on behalf of the Secured Parties as their representative and on their behalf for the purposes of all the terms of this Security Agreement and the Notes; (ii) agree and consent that the Collateral Agent be named as the sole secured party on any and all security documents, filings or notices executed or filed pursuant to or in respect of this Security Agreement; and (iii) agree that the Collateral Agent is authorized to file any and all terminations of such documents, filings or notices at such time or times as it determines is appropriate.

Section 2.10
Priority as between Secured Parties
. The Secured Parties and Collateral Agent hereby covenant and agree with MTIX that MTIX has granted and may
subsequently grant, from time to time, Permitted Liens and that as between all Secured Parties, the Security Interest granted to each Secured Party under this Agreement is
pari passu
with the Security Interests of the other Secured Parties according to the principal amount of Notes owed to them respectively. The priorities specified herein are applicable irrespective of the time, order or method of attachment or perfection of security interests or the time or order of filing of financing statements. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties agree not to seek to challenge, to avoid, to subordinate or to contest or directly or indirectly to support any other Person in challenging, avoiding, subordinating or contesting in any judicial or other proceeding, including, without limitation, any proceeding involving the Corporation, the priority, validity, extent, perfection or enforceability of any Senior Permitted Liens in all or any part of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties further covenant and agree that they shall not, and the Secured Parties shall not instruct, authorize or otherwise permit or consent to allowing the Collateral Agent to, take any action that is in violation of, or inconsistent with, the provisions of this section.
Section 2.11
Priority of Senior Lender
. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent consent (for the purposes of this Agreement and of any relevant term of the Notes) to the grant to any Senior Lender by the Company of such Liens in or over the assets of MTIX (including the Collateral) as the Senior Lender may require to secure any borrowings or Indebtedness of MTIX or the Corporation or any members of their group (including liabilities under guaranties of such borrowings or Indebtedness of other members of the group) and agrees that such Liens shall rank in all respects (or to the extent required by the Senior Lender) in priority to the Security Interest created by this Agreement. The Collateral Agent (for himself and on behalf of the Secured Parties, at the cost and expense of MTIX) shall enter into such postponement, priority or inter-creditor agreements and shall make such filings as the Senior Lender and the Corporation may from time to time require for the purpose of giving effect to this Section 2.11, which may include restrictions on the Collateral Agent’s ability to enforce the Security Interest or any term of this Agreement or the Notes without the consent of the Senior Lender and/or obligations to grant consents, waivers of releases as required by the Senior Lender, and other ancillary provisions. In this section 2.11 “
borrowing

Except to the extent that failure to act cannot reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, take all commercially reasonable steps to preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual Property that is part of the Collateral, including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the trademarks, consistent with the quality of the products and services as of the date hereof, and taking all commercially reasonable steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks abide by the applicable license’s terms with respect to the standards of quality.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2 or anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Security Agreement, nothing in this Security Agreement shall prevent MTIX or the Corporation or its Subsidiaries from discontinuing the use or maintenance of any of its Intellectual Property, the enforcement of its license agreements or the pursuit of actions against infringers, if they determine in its reasonable business judgment that such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business.
Section 3.
3
Other Encumbrances
. At all times after the date hereof and until the Obligations have been discharged in full, MTIX shall, subject to the rights of the holders of the Permitted Liens: (i) defend its title to the Collateral against all claims, and (ii) take any action necessary to remove any encumbrances on the Collateral other than Permitted Liens.
SECTION IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
MTIX warrants to each Secured Party that at the date of this Agreement:
Section 4.1
Title to Collateral
. MTIX holds the Collateral as beneficial owner free from Liens other than Permitted Liens.
Section 4.2
No Other Encumbrances
. Other than the Permitted Liens or under section 2.11 above, MTIX has not granted a security interest in the Collateral to any other individual or entity, and to the actual knowledge of MTIX, the Collateral is free and clear of any mortgage, pledge, lease, trust, bailment, lien, security interest, encumbrance, charge or other arrangement, other than the Permitted Liens.
Section 4.3
Authority; Enforceability
. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by MTIX does not: (i) violate any of the provisions of the Articles of Association of MTIX or any judgment, decree, order or award of any court, governmental body or arbitrator or any applicable law, rule or regulation applicable to MTIX; or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing MTIX’s debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which MTIX is a party or by which any property or asset of MTIX is bound or affected. MTIX has the authority and capacity to perform its obligations hereunder, and this Agreement is the valid and binding obligation of MTIX enforceable against MTIX in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights or general equitable principles, whether applied in law or equity.
Section 4.5
Perfection; Security Interest
. This Agreement creates in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid security interest in the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens and the terms of this Agreement and compliance with legal requirements as to registration, securing the payment and performance of the Obligations.
SECTION V
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 5.
1
Events of Default Defined
. The occurrence of any of the following events prior to discharge in full of the Obligations (without the consent in writing of the Collateral Agent) shall (unless waived by the Collateral Agent) constitute an event of default under this Agreement (each, an “

|
|
(c)
|
MTIX goes into winding-up, dissolution or administration;

|
|
(e)
|
the Corporation fails to pay to the Secured Parties when due in accordance with the express terms of the Notes as originally issued (and without reference to any acceleration of its payment obligations under the terms of the Notes, by law or otherwise) any principal sum (specifically excluding any interest, costs or other sums payable other than the principal amount) repayable under the terms of the Notes, and does not remedy the failure by paying the amount due within 90 days after the due date or, if later, 90 days after payment shall have been demanded in writing by the Person entitled to it.
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this section 5.1:

|
|
(g)
|
Nothing done or omitted to be done by the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent in his or their capacity as directors or employees of MTIX shall be or give rise to an Event of Default.
|
|
(h)
|
Any such process as is described in paragraphs (a) to (d) above shall not constitute an Event of Default if MTIX or the Corporation notifies the Collateral Agent that such process is contested by MTIX or the Corporation on reasonable grounds and it is in fact reversed or cancelled within 90 days of its commencement.
|
Section 5.2
Rights and Remedies Upon Default
. The Security created by this Agreement is enforceable at any time while an Event of Default is continuing. If an Event of Default exists and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall, at its election (but subject to

Section 5.3
Rights in relation to a Receiver.
The Collateral Agent may remove any Receiver appointed under this Agreement, appoint another person as Receiver or appoint additional Receivers. Each Receiver will be deemed to be the agent of MTIX (as the case may be) who alone will be responsible for the acts and defaults of the Receiver and for any liabilities incurred by the Receiver. The Collateral Agent may fix the remuneration of a Receiver which will be payable by MTIX and form part of the Obligations, subject to the limit on recoverable costs in the definition of Obligations.

second,
toward payment of the balance of the Obligations pro rata to the amounts owing to each Secured Party. Any surplus remaining shall be delivered to MTIX or the other person entitled to them (as appropriate) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

SECTION VI
ADDITIONAL REMEDIES
Section 6.1

Appointment
.
The Collateral Agent declares that it holds the Collateral on trust for the Secured Parties and will act on any instructions of the Secured Parties given by Majority in Interest. The power of appointment of a new Collateral Agent and trustee to fill any vacancy (following a resignation of the Collateral Agent or otherwise) shall be exercisable by the Majority in Interest and shall be sufficient in all respects to rightfully appoint the Collateral Agent hereunder. Each Secured Party (whether or not a signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (a) to appoint and consent to the appointment of the Collateral Agent as his agent hereunder, (b) to confirm that the Collateral Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of such Secured Party for the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement or of the Notes against the Corporation or MTIX, the exercise of remedies hereunder or under the Notes and the giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder or under the Notes relating to any Collateral or the Corporation or MTIX’s obligations with respect thereto, and to exercise any powers, authorities or discretions on behalf of the Secured Parties in respect of the Notes and this Agreement (including but limited to granting any waiver, time or other indulgence or agreeing to any variation of the obligations of the Corporation or MTIX or restructuring or compromising any of the Obligations or releasing (in whole or in part) any of the security created by this Agreement), (c) to agree that it shall not take any action to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or of the Notes against the Corporation or MTIX, to exercise any remedy hereunder or under the Notes or to give any consents or approvals hereunder or under the Notes except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in the Notes and (d) to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement or the Notes. The appointment of the Collateral Agent shall continue until the death or resignation of the Collateral Agent, at which time a Majority in Interest shall appoint a new Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder or under the Notes by or through its agents or employees. The Collateral Agent may exercise his powers, authorities and discretions (and those of the Secured Parties) at his sole discretion and without any obligation to consult the Secured Parties. Each of the Secured Parties irrevocably and severally appoints the Collateral Agent to be his attorney, with full power of substitution. The attorney may, in the name of the Secured Parties (or any of them) do anything which is authorized under this section 7.1 or which is necessary in connection with the exercise of any of the rights, powers, authorities or discretions of the Collateral Agent in relation to the Collateral under this Agreement or any law or regulation.
Section 7.2
Nature of Duties
.
The Collateral Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in another agreement entered into among MTIX, the Majority in Interest and such Collateral Agent. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Secured Parties for any action taken or omitted by it as such under the Agreement or the Notes or in connection herewith, be responsible to the Secured Parties for the consequence of any oversight or error of judgment or answerable to the Secured Parties for any loss, unless caused solely by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 7.3
Lack of Reliance on the Collateral Agent.
The Collateral Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Secured Party with any credit, market or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before any Obligations are incurred or at any time or times thereafter.
Section 7.4
Certain Rights of the Collateral Agent
. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any action with respect to the Collateral permitted by this Agreement, on behalf of all of the Secured Parties. To the extent practical, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obliged to) request instructions from the Secured Parties with respect to any material act or action (including failure to act) in connection with the Agreement or the Notes, and shall be entitled to act or refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of a Majority in Interest; if such instructions are not provided despite the Collateral Agent’s request therefor, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action, and if such action is taken, shall be entitled to appropriate indemnification from the Secured Parties in respect of actions to be taken by the Collateral Agent; and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any person or entity by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of the Collateral Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and MTIX shall have no right to question or challenge the authority of, or the instructions given to, the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing and (b) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action which the Collateral Agent believes (i) could reasonably be expected to expose him to personal liability or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement, the Notes or applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall release the Collateral Agent from liability for fraud.
Section
7.5
Reliance
. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and its duties thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it and upon all other matters pertaining to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and its duties thereunder, upon advice of other experts selected by it. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Secured Party to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by MTIX or is cared for, protected or insured or that the liens granted pursuant to the Agreement have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority.
Section 7.6
Resignation by the Collateral Agent
.
(a)
The Collateral Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties under the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents at any time by giving 30 days' prior written notice (as provided in the Agreement) to the Corporation and the Secured Parties. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below.
(b)
Upon any such notice of resignation, or if there is otherwise a vacancy as Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties, acting by a Majority in Interest, shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent hereunder.
(c)
If a successor Collateral Agent shall not have been so appointed within said 30-day period, the Collateral Agent, or if none or if he fails to act the Corporation, shall then appoint a successor Collateral Agent who shall serve as Collateral Agent until such time, if any, as the Secured Parties appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided above. If a successor Collateral Agent has not been appointed within such 30-day period, the Collateral Agent, the Corporation or MTIX may petition any court of competent jurisdiction or may interplead the Secured Parties in a proceeding for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, and all fees, including, but not limited to, extraordinary fees associated with the filing of interpleader and expenses associated therewith, shall be payable by the Secured Parties on demand.
Section 7.7
Rights with respect to Collateral
.
Each Secured Party agrees with all other Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent (i) that it shall not, and shall not attempt to, independently exercise any rights with respect to its Security Interest in the Collateral, or take or institute any action against the Corporation, MTIX, the Collateral Agent or any of the other Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral or its rights hereunder (other than any such action arising from the breach of this Agreement by the Collateral Agent or any of the other Secured Parties) and (ii) that such Secured Party has no other rights with respect to the Collateral other than as set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the Security Interests and rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Agreement. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of the Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent.
SECTION VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 8.1
Termination and Release
. This Agreement, and the Liens created by this Agreement shall automatically terminate in all respects and be released upon the full discharge of the Obligations. Conversion of the Notes into shares of capital stock of the Corporation, in accordance with the terms of the Notes, shall constitute discharge of the principal amount of Notes and interest converted, for all the purposes of this Agreement. Further, the Liens created by this Agreement on any of the Collateral shall be automatically released if MTIX disposes of such Collateral pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Notes or this Agreement or otherwise consented by the Collateral Agent in writing. In connection with any termination and release pursuant to this Section 8.1, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall promptly execute and deliver to MTIX all documents, and shall make all filings, that MTIX or the Corporation shall reasonably request to evidence such termination and release.
Section 8.2
Severability
. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision;
provided
, that in such case the parties shall negotiate in good faith to replace such provision with a new provision which is not illegal, unenforceable or void, as long as such new provision does not materially change the economic benefits of this Agreement to the parties.
Section 8.3
Continuing Security Interest; Successors
. This Agreement creates a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the Obligations are discharged in full and (ii) inure to the benefit of Collateral Agent and his successors, transferees, and assigns. Each Secured Party may, if permitted by the Exchange Agreement, assign its rights hereunder in connection with any private sale or transfer of its Note in accordance with the terms of the Note and applicable law, in which case the term “
Secured Party
” shall be deemed to refer to such transferee as though such transferee was an original signatory hereto in place of and to the exclusion of any Secured Party who has ceased to hold any Notes.
Section 8.4
Governing Law; Jurisdiction
. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including a dispute regarding the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement) and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it (a “
Dispute
”). The parties to this Agreement agree that the courts of England and Wales are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle any Dispute and accordingly no party to this Agreement will argue to the contrary.
Section 8.5

Section 8.7
Entire Agreement; Amendments; Waivers
. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof and thereof, superseding all prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, between or among the parties. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended except pursuant to a written instrument executed by Corporation, MTIX and the Collateral Agent, and no provision hereof may be waived other than by a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought (or by the Collateral Agent in the case of a waiver by Secured Parties). The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall not, by any act, any failure to act or any delay in acting be deemed to have (i) waived any right or remedy under this Agreement, or (ii) acquiesced in any Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege of the the Collateral Agent or Secured Parties under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or privilege. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by a Secured Party of any right or remedy under this Agreement on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.
Section 8.8
Multiple Counterparts

1

At such time the Obligations have been discharged in full, the Majority in Interest or Collateral Agent (as appropriate) shall execute and deliver to the Corporation and/or MTIX all assignments and other instruments as may be reasonably necessary or proper to terminate the Security Interest in the Collateral, subject to any disposition of the Collateral that may have
been made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 8.12
Deferral of Obligors’ rights.
While any Event of Default is continuing and until all Obligations have been irrevocably discharged in full and unless the Collateral Agent otherwise directs, neither the Corporation or MTIX may exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Notes or this Agreement or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under the Notes or this Agreement:
|
(a)
|
to be indemnified by the other;
|

The number of Registrable Securities that the Corporation will include in the Initial Registration Statement shall cover the Initial Required Registration Amount, which is 125% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes at the initial conversion price thereof, all subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(c). Each Registration Statement filed hereunder shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Corporation is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on Form S-1 or another appropriate form in accordance herewith, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e)) and shall contain (unless otherwise directed by at least a Majority in Interest of the Holders) substantially the “
Plan of Distribution
” attached hereto as
Annex A
. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Corporation shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Section 3(c)) to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement no longer constitute Registrable Securities or (ii) the two year anniversary of the date of this Agreement (the “
Effectiveness Period
”). The Corporation shall telephonically request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Trading Day. The Corporation shall promptly notify the Holders via facsimile or by e-mail of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Trading Day that the Corporation telephonically confirms effectiveness with the Commission, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of such Registration Statement. The Corporation shall, by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the Trading Day after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424.
(b)
Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in Section 2(a), if the Commission informs the Corporation that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Corporation agrees to promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the Commission, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e); with respect to filing on Form S-3 or other appropriate form;
provided
,
however
, that prior to filing such amendment, the Corporation shall be obligated to use diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.
(c)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Corporation used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise (i) directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, or (ii) directed by the Commission as to the limitations or restrictions that it would require, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced as follows:
|
a.
|
First, the Corporation shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included by any Person other than a Holder;
|
|
b.
|
Second, the Corporation shall reduce or eliminate Registrable Securities contemplated by clause (c) of the definition of Registrable Securities (applied, in the case that only some such Registrable Securities may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of such unregistered Registrable Securities held by such Holders); and
|
|
c.
|
Third, the Corporation shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by Conversion Shares (applied, in the case that some Conversion Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Conversion Shares held by such Holders).
|
In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Corporation shall give the Holder at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s allotment. In the event the Corporation amends the Initial Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, or determines to file an additional Registration Statement, the Corporation will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Corporation or to registrants of securities in general, one or more Registration Statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended, as a result of any cutback of Registrable Securities of the Holders or any Registrable Securities not included in the Initial Registration Statement. In any additional Registration Statement filed because of a cutback in the number of Registrable Securities included in the Initial Registration Statement, all holders of shares of Common Stock included in such additional Registration Statement shall be subject to any additional cutbacks that may be required by the Commission on a
pro rata
basis.
(d)
If: (i) the Initial Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date (if the Company files a Registration Statement without affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3A(a) herein, the Company shall be deemed to have not satisfied this clause (i)), or (ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, within five (5) Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, o (iii) prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement within thirty (30) Business Days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the Commission that such amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “
Event
”, and for purposes of clauses (i) and (iv), the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which such five (5) Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date which such twenty (20) day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (v) the date on which such fifteen (15) or thirty (30) calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “
Event Date
”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to one-half percent (0.5%) of the aggregate principal balance of the Notes or Stated Value of the Class B Preferred held by such Holder pursuant to the Exchange Agreement for the Registrable Securities held by Holder on each such Event Date. The maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to a Holder pursuant to this Section 2(d) shall be 1% of the aggregate principal balance of the Notes or Stated Value of the Class B Preferred held by such Holder pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 16% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.
(e)
No liquidated damages shall accrue as to any Registrable Securities that are subject to a cut-back pursuant to Section 2(c) (“
Cut Back Shares
”) until such date as the Corporation is able to effect the registration of such Cut Back Shares in accordance with any restrictions required by the Commission. From and after the date that such restrictions are terminated, all of the provisions of this Section 2 (including the obligation to register the Registrable Securities and the liquidated damages provisions) shall again be applicable to such Cut Back Shares; provided, however, that the Filing Date and Effectiveness Date for the Registration Statement including such Cut Back Shares shall be based on the termination date of such restrictions.
(f)
If Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Corporation shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, if at all, during the Effectiveness Period;
provided
that the Corporation shall only be required to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until the earlier of (A) such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission or (B) the expiration of the Effectiveness Period.

(j)
Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by clause (v) or (vi) of Section 3(A)(d), as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into account the Corporation’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Corporation and its stockholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Corporation notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(A)(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within thirty (30) calendar days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(d)
Contribution
. If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(d), in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
Section 6.
Miscellaneous
.
(a)
Remedies
. In the event of a breach by the Corporation or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Corporation, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each of the Corporation and each Holder agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b)
Piggy-Back Registrations
. If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Corporation shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Corporation’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Corporation shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Corporation shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered.
(c)
Amendments and Waivers
. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Corporation and the Holders of 51% or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (for purposes of clarification, this includes any Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of any Security). If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates;
provided
,
however
, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 6(c). No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.
(d)
Notices
. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Exchange Agreement.
(e)
Successors and Assigns
. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Corporation may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under the Exchange Agreement.
(f)
Execution and Counterparts
. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
(g)
Governing Law
. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Exchange Agreement.
(h)
Cumulative Remedies
. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
(i)
Severability
. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
(j)
Headings
. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
(l)
Independent Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights
. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters, and the Corporation acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Corporation shall not asset any such claim, with respect to such obligations or transactions. Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Corporation contained was solely in the control of the Corporation, not the action or decision of any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of the Corporation and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Holder.

Annex A
Plan of Distribution
Each Selling Stockholder (the “
Selling Stockholders
”) of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal Trading Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
|
•
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits Noteholders;
|
|
•
|
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
|
•
|
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resales by the broker-dealer for its account;
|
|
•
|
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
|
|
•
|
privately negotiated transactions;
|
|
•
|
settlement of short sales;
|
|
•
|
in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
|
|
•
|
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
|
|
•
|
a combination of any such methods of sale; or
|
|
•
|
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
|
The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “
Securities Act
”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the Noteholder of securities, from the Noteholder) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Corporation that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
The Corporation is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Corporation incident to the registration of the securities. The Corporation has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders have advised us that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale securities by the Selling Stockholders.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Corporation to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each Noteholder at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Dividend Percentage
”). All dividends provided for in clause (i) above shall be cumulative, whether or not earned or declared, accruing on an annual basis from the Effective Date.
In the event that the Corporation shall not have funds legally available for, or is otherwise prohibited by the NRS, or any other applicable law, from paying any amounts under this Section 3(a), the obligation to pay such amounts shall be carried forward and fulfilled when such funds are legally available and the Corporation is permitted to do so under the NRS or any other applicable law.
(b)
All dividends paid with respect to shares of the Class B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be paid pro rata to the Holders entitled thereto.
(c)

No full dividends shall be declared by the Board of Directors or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation on any Parity Securities for any period unless full cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid in full, or declared and a sum in cash set apart sufficient for such payment, on the Class B Preferred Stock for all periods terminating on or prior to the date of payment of such full dividends on such Parity Securities. If any dividends are not so paid in full, all partial dividends declared upon shares of the Class B Preferred Stock and any Parity Securities shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share on the Class B Preferred Stock and such Parity Securities shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Class B Preferred Stock and such Parity Securities bear to each other.
(ii)
So long as any share of the Class B Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation shall not declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend on any of the Junior Securities, or make any payment on account of, or set apart for payment money for a sinking or other similar fund for, the purchase, redemption or other retirement of, any of the Junior Securities or any warrants, rights, calls or options exercisable for or convertible into any of the Junior Securities, whether in cash, obligations or shares of the Corporation or other property, and shall not permit any corporation or other entity directly or indirectly controlled by the Corporation to purchase or redeem any of the Junior Securities or any such warrants, rights, calls or options (other than in exchange for Junior Securities) unless full cumulative dividends determined in accordance herewith on the Class B Preferred Stock have been paid in full for all periods ended prior to the date of such.
(iii)
So long as any share of the Class B Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation shall not (except with respect to dividends as permitted by Section 3(c)(i)) make any payment on account of, or set apart for payment money for a sinking or other similar fund for, the purchase, redemption or other retirement of, any of the Parity Securities or any warrants, rights, calls or options exercisable for or convertible into any of the Parity Securities, whether in cash, obligations or shares of the Corporation or other property, and shall not permit any corporation or other entity directly or indirectly controlled by the Corporation to purchase or redeem any of the Parity Securities or any such warrants, rights, calls or options.

No other liquidation preference shall be payable with respect to the Class B Preferred Stock.
Section 5.
Voting Rights

Class B Director
”). A Class B Director may be removed at any time as a director on the Board (with or without cause) upon, and only upon, the written request of the holders of the outstanding shares of Class B Preferred Stock (voting as a separate class by a 2/3 majority vote with each share of Class B Preferred Stock entitled to one vote). In the event that a vacancy is created on the Board at any time due to the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of a Class B Director, then the Holders (voting as a separate class by majority vote with each share of Class B Preferred stock entitled to one vote) shall have the right to designate an individual to fill such vacancy. In the event that the Holders shall fail to designate in writing a representative to fill the vacant Class B Director seat on the Board, and such Board seat shall remain vacant until such time as the Holders elect an individual to fill such seat in accordance with this Section 5(b), and during any period where such seat remains vacant, the Board nonetheless shall be deemed duly constituted.
Section 6.
Conversion of Class B Preferred Stock.
(a)
Optional Conversion; Conversion Price
. The Stated Value of each share of Class B Preferred Stock shall, commencing two (2) years from the Effective Date be convertible into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock determined as follows: (i) if the aggregate market capital (the “
Market Cap
”) is $35,000,000 or less, at a 25% discount to the Market Price (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) if the Market Cap is greater than $35,000,000, at a 25% discount to the Market Price, provided that such discount shall be increased by dividing it by the quotient that shall be obtained by dividing $35,0000,000 by the Market Cap at the time of conversion (in either case, the “
Conversion Price
”) provided, however, that any such adjustment to the discount to the market price shall not exceed a discount of 75% and further provided, further, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any number of shares of Class B Preferred Stock in excess of that number of shares of Class B Preferred Stock upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the shares of Class B Preferred Stock or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the shares of Class B Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Corporation, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).
The Conversion Price shall be
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6(d) below.
For purposes hereof, the term “
Market Price
” shall mean the average trading price of the Common Stock as quoted by Bloomberg L.P. for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6(d) below).
The Class B Preferred Stock may be converted in whole or in part.
(b)
Mechanics of Conversion
.
(i)
Before any Holder of
Class B
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, such Holder shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate office of the election to convert shares of
Class B
Preferred Stock, the number of shares of
Class B
Preferred Stock to be converted, t
he number of shares of Class B Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue,
and the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued (each, a “
Notice of Conversion
”).
No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required.
The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. To effect conversions of shares of Class B Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing the shares of Class B Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Class B Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Class B Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue.
(ii)
Shares of Class B Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after delivery of the Notice of Conversion, and as soon as practicable after delivery of the certificate(s) evidencing the Class B Preferred Stock, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter (the “
Share Delivery Date
”), issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder or Holders of Class B Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees thereof, a certificate or certificates representing the number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock to which such Holder or Holders shall be entitled as aforesaid. Conversion under this Section 6 shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of delivery of the Notice of Conversion, unless a later date is specified in the Notice of Conversion, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date (such date, the “
Conversion Date
”). If, in the case of any conversion of the Class B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6, such shares of Common Stock are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such shares of Common Stock, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to the Holder any original Class B Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly return
to the Corporation the shares of Common Stock issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded conversion.
(iii)
The Holder of Class B Preferred Stock will be given prior written notice of any Change of Control Event such that a Notice of Conversion can be delivered prior to any such Change of Control Event.

Class B
Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6, the Corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each Holder of
Class B
Preferred Stock no less than ten (10) calendar days prior to such adjustment a statement setting forth such adjustment and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any Holder of
Class B
Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment, (B) the Conversion Price for such
Class B
Preferred Stock at the time in
effect, and (C) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of such Class B Preferred Stock.
(d)
Adjustments of the Conversion Price
. The Conversion Price of the Class B Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i)
Adjustments for Recapitalization
. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 6), provision shall be made so that the Holders of the Class B Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Class B Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 6 with respect to the rights of the Holders of the Class B Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 6 (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Conversion Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class B Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
(ii)
Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations.
If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Class B Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Class B Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this subsection shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(iii)
Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions
. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Class B Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:
(1)
the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and
(2)
the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (b) that no such adjustment shall be made if the Holders simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common
Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Class B Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.
(iv)
Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions
. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property, then and in each such event the Holders shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or
other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Class B Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.
(v)
Adjustment for Reorganization or Reclassification
. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation or a Change of Control Event, shall be effected while any shares of Class B Preferred Stock are outstanding in such a manner that holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, or Change of Control Event, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Holder who has not received the amounts to be distributed to such holder in accordance with this Certificate of Designation shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein, and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore receivable upon conversion of Class B Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such Common Stock immediately theretofore so receivable had such reorganization, reclassification or Change of Control Event not taken place, and in such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holders of Class B Preferred Stock to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Conversion Price, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class B Preferred Stock) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be possible, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of such shares of Class B Preferred Stock. Prior to or simultaneously with the consummation of any such reorganization, reclassification or Change of Control Event, the survivor or successor corporation (if other than the Corporation) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification or Change of Control Event shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed or delivered to each Holder of Class B Preferred Stock, the obligation to deliver to such Holders of Class B Preferred Stock such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder of Class B Preferred Stock may be entitled to receive, and containing the express assumption by such successor corporation of the due and punctual performance and observance of every provision of this Certificate of Designations to be performed and observed by the Corporation and of all liabilities and obligations of the Corporation hereunder with respect to the Class B Preferred Stock.
(e)
Certificate as to Adjustments

The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of Class B Preferred Stock (but in any event not later than five (5) days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Conversion Price then in effect, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the conversion of Class B Preferred Stock.
(f)
Notice of Record Taking
.

(j)
Conversion Disputes
