Section 2. Stated Value. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have a stated value of $10.00 per share (the “Stated Value”).
Section 3. Liquidation.
| (a) | Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, for each share thereof, out of assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, a preferential amount in cash equal to (and not more than) the Stated Value. All preferential amounts to be paid to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall be paid before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any assets of the Corporation to the holders of (i) any other class or series of capital stock whose terms expressly provide that the holders of Series B Preferred Stock should receive preferential payment with respect to such distribution (to the extent of such preference) and (ii) the Corporation's Common Stock. If upon any such distribution the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (or the holders of any class or series of capital stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to distributions in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation) the full amounts to which they shall be entitled, such holders shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in accordance with the sums which would be payable on such distribution if all sums payable thereon were paid in full. |

| (b) | Any distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, shall be made in cash to the extent possible. Whenever any such distribution shall be paid in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. |
Section 4. Voting and Dividends.
| (a) | Voting. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to shareholders of the Corporation and shall be entitled to the number of votes for each share of Series B Preferred Stock owned at the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote on such matter or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of shareholders is solicited, equal to the number of shares of Common Stock such shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into at such time. Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on all matters and shall not vote as a separate class. |
|
|
|
| (b) | Dividends. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends, if and when declared and paid, on an as-converted basis with the Common Stock. |
Section 5. Conversion.
| (a) | Conversion Right. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock may, from time to time, be converted into shares of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at a rate determined by dividing the Stated Value by the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” will be equal to $0.25 per share, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 8. |
|
|
|
| (b) | Conversion Procedure. In order to exercise the conversion privilege under Section 5, the holder of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal office that such holder elects to convert such shares of Series B Preferred Stock or a specified portion thereof into shares of Common Stock as set forth in such notice. At such time as the certificate or certificates representing the Series B Preferred Stock which has been converted are surrendered to the Corporation, the Corporation shall issue and deliver a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock determined pursuant to Section 5. In case of conversion under Section 5 of only a part of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered to the Corporation, the Corporation shall issue and deliver a new certificate for the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock which have not been converted. Until such time as the certificate or certificates representing Series B Preferred Stock which has been converted are surrendered to the Corporation and a certificate or certificates representing the Common Stock into which such Series B Preferred Stock has been converted have been issued and delivered, the certificate or certificates representing the Series B Preferred Stock which have been converted shall represent the shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been converted. The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. |

| (c) | Maximum Conversion. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate of Designation, at no time may all or a portion of the Series B Preferred Stock be converted if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in the holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules thereunder) more than 4.99% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon the holder providing the Corporation with sixty-one (61) days’ advance notice (the “4.99% Waiver Notice”) that the holder would like to waive this Section 5(c)(i) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, this Section 5(c)(i) will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Series B Preferred Stock referenced in the 4.99% Waiver Notice. |

|
| (b) | Record Holders. The Corporation and its transfer agent, if any, for the Series B Preferred Stock may deem and treat the record holder of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock as reflected on the books and records of the Corporation as the sole true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor any such transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. |
Section 7. Restriction and Limitations. Except as expressly provided herein or as required by law so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, take any action which would adversely and materially affect any of the preferences, limitations or relative rights of the Series B Preferred Stock.
