Section 5. MANDATORY CONVERSION.

(a) The one (1) share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into 55,887,491 shares of the Common Stock upon the date on which the Corporation amends its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock to an amount equal to at least 150,000,000 shares (the “Mandatory Conversion Time”).

(b) The Holder shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5. Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, the Holder shall surrender such Holder’s certificate for the share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (or, if the Holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice, and shall thereafter receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 5. At the Mandatory Conversion Time, all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock automatically, without any act of the Holder or the Company, shall be deemed to have been converted into shares of Common Stock, which shall be deemed to be outstanding of record, and all rights with respect to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate, except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the last sentence of this Section 5(b). 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 registered Holder or by the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time and the surrender of the certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to the Holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(c) The one (1) share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall, from and after the Mandatory Conversion Time, no longer be deemed to be outstanding and, notwithstanding the failure of the Holder to surrender the certificate for such share on or prior to such time, all rights with respect to such share shall immediately cease and terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time, except only the right of the Holder to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefore. Such converted Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock accordingly.

3
 

 

(d) Any notice required or permitted by the provisions of this Section 5 to be given to the Holder shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the post office address last shown on the records of the Corporation, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law, and shall be deemed sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.

(e) The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable hereunder shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

Section 6. RANK. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall, as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, rank (i) pari passu to the Corporation’s Common Stock and any other class or series of capital stock (including Preferred Stock) of the Corporation hereafter created that, by its terms, ranks pari passu to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Pari Passu Securities”); and (ii) junior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created which by its terms ranks senior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Senior Securities”).

Section 7. VOTING RIGHTS. On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), the Holder shall be entitled to cast 55,887,491 votes. Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Holder shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock, and with the holders of any other series of Preferred Stock the terms of which so provide, as a single class.

Section 8. COVENANTS.

(a) So long as any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the written consent of the Holder, alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Preferred so as to affect adversely the Holder.

(b) The Corporation will submit to stockholders, as promptly as reasonably possible following issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and in any event no later than April 1, 2012 an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that will increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock from 30,000,000 to an amount equal to or greater than 150,000,000.

(c) The Corporation shall not make any other distributions (including without limitation the granting of any rights or warrants) to the holders of the Common Stock without first obtaining the written consent of the Holder.

(d) So long as any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (voting as a separate class, without the vote of holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or any other series of Preferred Stock), alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

Section 9. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Status of Converted or Redeemed Stock. In case any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be redeemed or otherwise repurchased or reacquired, the shares so redeemed, repurchased, or reacquired shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, and shall no longer be designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

(b) Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Corporation of (i) evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any stock certificate(s) representing shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, indemnity (with a bond or other security) reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or in the case of mutilation, the stock certificate(s) representing shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (surrendered for cancellation), the Corporation shall execute and deliver new stock certificate(s) representing shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. However, the Corporation shall not be obligated to reissue such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated stock certificate representing the share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock if the Holder contemporaneously requests the Corporation to convert such share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

(c) Waiver. Notwithstanding any provision in the Certificate of Designation to the contrary, any provision contained in the Certificate of Designation and any right of the Holder granted hereunder may be waived as to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (and the Holder thereof) upon the written consent of the Holder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Designation to be signed by the undersigned this 22nd day of February, 2012.
