SECTION 4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE

 

(a)    Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the Holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any Distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the Holders of the Junior Stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, but not prior to any holders of the Company’s Senior Securities, which holders shall have priority to the distribution of any assets of the Company, an amount per share for each share of Preferred Stock held by them equal to the sum of the Liquidation Preference specified for such share of Preferred Stock. If upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the Holders of the Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such Holders of the full amounts specified in this Section 4(a), subsequent to the payment to the Senior Securities then the entire remaining assets of the Company following the payment to the Senior Securities legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the Holders of the Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 4(a).

(c)    Valuation of Non-Cash Consideration. If any assets of the Company distributed to shareholders in connection with any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company are other than cash, then the value of such assets shall be their fair market value as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. In the event of a merger or other acquisition of the Company by another entity, the Distribution date shall be deemed to be the date such transaction closes.

 

SECTION 5. CONVERSION. The Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into Common Stock and have no other conversion rights except as specifically set forth below:

 

(a)      Conversion. The “Conversion Ratio” per share of the Preferred Stock in connection with a Conversion shall be at a ratio of 1:100, meaning for every (1) one Preferred A share shall convert into 100 common shares of stock of the Company. Holders of Class A Preferred Shares shall have the right, exercisable at any time and from time to time (unless otherwise prohibited by law, rule or regulation), to convert any or all their shares of the Class A Preferred Shares into Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio.

 

(b) Taxes. The Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect to any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion in a name other than that in which the shares of the Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid. The Company shall withhold from any payment due whatsoever in connection with the Preferred Stock any and all required withholdings and/or taxes the Company, in its sole discretion deems reasonable or necessary, absent an opinion from Holder’s accountant or legal counsel, acceptable to the Company in its sole determination, that such withholdings and/or taxes are not required to be withheld by the Company.

 

(c)      Fractional Shares. If any Conversion of Preferred Stock would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock (aggregating all shares of Preferred Stock being converted pursuant to each Conversion), such fractional share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share and the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one additional whole share of Common Stock.

(d)      Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Company will within a reasonable time period make a good faith effort to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

 

(e)      Effect of Conversion. On the date of any Conversion, all rights of any Holder with respect to the shares of the Preferred Stock so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive distributions of the Company’s assets (including, but not limited to, the Liquidation Preference) or notices from the Company, will terminate, except only for the rights of any such Holder to receive certificates (if applicable) for the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of the Preferred Stock have been converted.

 

SECTION 6. VOTING. The holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such Series A Preferred Stock could then be converted, and with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock, and shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of this Corporation, and shall be entitled to vote, together with holders of Common Stock, with respect to any question upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights available on an as-converted basis (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward).

 

SECTION 7. REDEMPTION. The Preferred Stock shall have no redemption rights.

 

SECTION 8. PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS. Subject to the rights of series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, this Company shall not without first obtaining the approval (by written consent, as provided by law or otherwise) of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a class:

 

(a)      Increase or decrease (other than by redemption or conversion) the total number of authorized shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock;

 

(b)      Effect an exchange, reclassification, or cancellation of all or a part of the Series a Convertible Preferred Stock, but excluding a stock split or reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock or Preferred Stock;

 

(c)      Effect an exchange, or create a right of exchange, of all or part of the shares of another class of shares into shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; or

 

(d)      Alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the shares of such series, including the rights set forth in this Designation.

 

For clarification, issuances of additional authorized shares of Series A Preferred under the terms herein shall not require the authorization or approval of the existing shareholders of Preferred Stock.

The Company may also designate and issue additional series of preferred stock from time to time in the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, which such rights, privileges, preferences and limitations shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and which designations and issuances shall not require the approval of the holders of the Preferred Stock.
