To the extent declared, such dividends shall be payable in cash quarterly, on the last day of each quarter, beginning June 30, 2015 (each of such dates being a “Dividend Payment Date”).

(c)               No dividend shall be declared or paid in cash or set apart for payment on any Junior Securities (other than a dividend payable solely in shares of Junior Securities) unless full cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are being paid or provided for on all outstanding Preferred Stock through the most recent Dividend Payment Date.

Section 4.               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), each holder of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of the Certificate of Designations, holders of the Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock, as a single class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of the Holders of at least 67% in Stated Value of Preferred Stock then outstanding, except as may be necessary to increase the authorized shares of Common Stock in order to account for any increase in the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, (a) purchase or redeem any capital stock other than stock repurchased from former employees or consultants in connection with the cessation of their employment services, at the lower of fair market value or cost, (b) amend, alter or repeal any provision of its certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in a manner that adversely affects any rights of the Holders or (c) authorize or issue Senior Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence shall not prevent the liquidation of Preferred Stock as set forth in Section 5 hereof.

Section 5.               Liquidation Rights. Subject to the right of a holder to convert shares of Preferred Stock, in the event of any Liquidity Event, holders of each share of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution to holders of the Corporation’s capital stock of all classes (whether such assets are capital, surplus, or earnings) and subject to the liquidating preference of the holders of any other series of Preferred Shares which may be on parity or senior in right of preference to the Preferred Stock and before any sums shall be paid or any assets or surplus funds distributed among the holders of Common Stock or any Junior Security, an amount equal to the Stated Value plus accrued but unpaid dividends as to such share (the “Liquidity Preference”). If the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to permit the payment in full to holders of the Preferred of the preferential amount set forth in this Section 5, then the entire assets of the Corporation available for such distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Preferred in accordance with the aggregate liquidation preference of the shares of Preferred Stock held by each of them. To the extent that the Holders of Preferred Stock receive a partial payment of their Liquidation Preference, such partial payment shall reduce the Liquidation Preference of their Preferred Stock, but only to the extent of such amount paid.

Section 6.               Conversion.

(a)               Conversion at Option of Holder. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the Original Issue Date at the option of the Holder thereof, into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value plus any accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to such share by the Conversion Price. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Holder delivers by facsimile such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. To effect conversions of shares of Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing the shares of Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless (i) the full or remaining number of shares of Preferred Stock represented by such certificate are being converted or (ii) such Holder has provided the Corporation with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Notice of Conversion) requesting reissuance of a certificate representing the remaining shares of Preferred Stock upon physical surrender of any certificate representing the shares of Preferred Stock being converted. Each Holder and the Corporation shall maintain records showing the number of shares of Preferred Stock so converted by such Holder and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and the Corporation, so as not to require physical surrender of the certificate representing the shares of Preferred Stock upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Corporation establishing the number of shares of Preferred Stock to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Shares of Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.

(b)               Conversion Price. The per share conversion price for the Preferred Stock shall be $0.1754, subject to adjustment as set forth herein (the “Conversion Price”).

(c)               Mechanics of Conversion.

(i)                 Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. If requested by the Holder, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section 6 electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

(ii)              Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock as herein provided, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the respective Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(iii)            Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Corporation shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

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

Section 7.               Certain Adjustments.

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

(b)               Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Corporation, at any time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not proportionately to the Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is lower than the VWAP on the record date for such issuance, and does not offer the same rights to the Holders, then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, such rights, options or warrants which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of such Holder’s Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of such Preferred Stock) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the issuance of such rights, options or warrants, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.

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

(d)               Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person, (ii) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, (v) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination and excluding shares acquired upon conversion of any currently outstanding convertible securities in accordance with the terms thereof as in effect on the date hereof) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of securities of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Corporation, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate of Designations with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The Corporation shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Corporation is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Preferred Stock, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Preferred Stock a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Preferred Stock which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Preferred Stock) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Preferred Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Corporation” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Corporation and shall assume all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Corporation herein.

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

(f)                Notice to the Holders.

(i)                 Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

(ii)              Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be delivered to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Corporation or any of the Subsidiaries, the Corporation shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert the Preferred Stock (or any part hereof) during the 10-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section 8.               Redemption.

(a)               Optimal Company Redemption. Subject to the terms hereof, at any time the Corporation shall be entitled to redeem any or all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (the “Optional Company Redemption”) at a per share price equal to 125% of the Stated Value plus accumulated and unpaid dividends (such amount, the “Redemption Price”), payable in cash; provided that the Corporation shall have funds legally available for such payment.

(b)               Notice of Optional Company Redemption. Notice of any Optional Company Redemption of shares of Preferred Stock, specifying the time and place of redemption and the Redemption Price (a “Redemption Notice”), shall be sent by courier or first class overnight mail, pre-paid, to each holder of Preferred Stock to be redeemed, at the address for such holder shown on the Company’s records, not more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days prior to the Redemption Date. If, in any case, less than all of the shares of Preferred Stock then owned by such holder are to be redeemed, the Redemption Notice shall also specify the number of shares which are to be redeemed; provided, however, that no failure to give such Redemption Notice nor any defect therein shall affect the validity of the procedure for the redemption of any shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed except as to the holder to whom the Corporation has failed to give said Redemption Notice or except as to the holder whose Redemption Notice was defective. Each such Redemption Notice shall state:

(i)                 the Redemption Date;

(ii)              the Redemption Price;

(iii)            the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all the shares of Preferred Stock held by a holder are to be redeemed, the number of shares thereof to be redeemed from such holder;

(iv)             the manner and place or places at which payment for the shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed will be made, upon presentation and surrender to the Corporation of the certificates evidencing the shares being redeemed; and

(v)               that the rights of holders to convert shares of Preferred Stock being redeemed shall terminate at the close of business on the Redemption Date unless the Corporation defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section shall not affect the right of holders to convert shares of Preferred Stock prior to the Redemption Date.

Upon mailing any such Redemption Notice, the Corporation shall become obligated to redeem at the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date all shares of Preferred Stock therein specified; provided, however, any redemption contemplated by any Redemption Notice may be conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more transactions or other events and the Redemption Date in such Redemption Notice may be the date on which such transaction is consummated or such other event occurs.
