I, Marco Alfonsi, hereby certify that I am the Chief Executive Officer of Canbiola, Inc.. (the “Company”), a corporation organized and existing under the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”), and further do hereby certify:

That, pursuant to the authority expressly conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”), the Board on October 05, 2017, adopted the following resolutions creating a series of shares of preferred stock designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, none of which shares have been issued:

RESOLVED, that the Board hereby designates the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting such series, and fixes the rights, powers, preferences, privileges and restrictions relating to such series in addition to any set forth in the Articles of Incorporation as follows:

TERMS OF SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

1. Designation and Number of Shares. There shall hereby be created and established a series of preferred stock of the Company designated as “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Preferred Shares”). The authorized number of Preferred Shares shall be 500,000 shares. Each Preferred Share shall have a par value of $0.001. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings as set forth in Section 23 below.

Ranking. Except with respect to any other future series of preferred stock of senior rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding-up of the Company (collectively, the “Senior Preferred Stock”) or any future series of preferred stock of pari passu rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding-up of the Company (collectively, the “Parity Stock”), all shares of capital stock of the Company shall be junior in rank to all Preferred Shares with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding-up of the Company (collectively, the “Junior Stock”). The rights of all such shares of capital stock of the Company shall be subject to the rights, powers, preferences and privileges of the Preferred Shares. In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the Preferred Shares shall maintain their relative rights, powers, preferences, privileges, and designations provided for herein and no such merger or consolidation shall result inconsistent therewith.

Dividends.

(a)

From and after the date of issuance of each share of Preferred Shares (the “Initial Issuance Date”), each holder of a Preferred Share (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) shall be entitled to receive dividends (the “Dividends”), which Dividends shall be paid by the Company out of funds legally available therefor, payable, subject to the conditions and other terms hereof, in shares of Common Stock or cash on the Stated Value (as defined below) of such Preferred Share at the Dividend Rate (as defined below), which shall be cumulative but not compounding and shall continue to accrue whether or not declared and whether or not in any fiscal year there shall be net profits or surplus available for the payment of dividends in such fiscal year. Dividends on the Preferred Shares shall commence accumulating on the Initial Issuance Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed. Subject to Section 4(c), Dividends shall be payable quarterly, at the Holder’s option, in cash or shares of Common Stock, with the first (1^st) Dividend Date being the date ninety (90) days from the Initial Issuance Date of the first Preferred Share to be issued (each, a “Dividend Date”). If a Dividend Date is not a Business Day (as defined below), then the Dividend shall be due and payable on the Business Day immediately following such Dividend Date. Additionally, after the first Dividend Date, the Holder may request the payment of any accrued Dividends on any Conversion Date or the date of any Installment Redemption Payment (each, an “Optional Dividend Date”).

(b)

Dividends shall be payable on each Dividend Date, to the Holders of record of the Preferred Shares on the applicable Dividend Date, in shares of Common Stock (the “Dividend Shares”) so long as there has been no Equity Conditions Failure and so long as the delivery of Dividend Shares would not violate the provisions of Section 4(e); provided, however, that the Company may, at its option, pay Dividends on any Dividend Date in cash (the “Cash Dividends”) or in a combination of Cash Dividends and, so long as there has been no Equity Conditions Failure, Dividend Shares. The Company shall deliver a written notice (each, a “Dividend Election Notice”) to each Holder on the Dividend Notice Due Date (the date such notice is delivered to all of the Holders, the “Dividend Notice Date”), which notice (1) either (A) confirms that Dividends to be paid on such Dividend Date shall be paid entirely in Dividend Shares or (B) elects to pay Dividends as Cash Dividends, Dividend Shares, or as a combination of Dividend Shares and Cash Dividends and, in any event, specifies the amount of Dividends that shall be paid as Cash Dividends and the amount of Dividends, if any, that shall be paid in Dividend Shares and (2) certifies that there has been no Equity Conditions Failure as of such time, if any portion of the Dividends shall be paid in Dividend Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if no Equity Conditions Failure has occurred as of the Dividend Notice Date but an Equity Conditions Failure occurs at any time prior to the Dividend Date, (A) the Company shall provide each Holder a subsequent notice to that effect and (B) unless such Holder waives the Equity Conditions Failure, the Dividend payable to such Holder on such Dividend Date

shall be paid as Cash Dividends to be paid to each Holder on a Dividend Date in Dividend Shares shall be paid in a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (rounded to the nearest whole share, with 0.50 or more of a share being rounded up to the nearest whole share and 0.49 or less of a share being rounded down to the nearest whole share) of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (1) the amount of Dividends payable to such Holder on such Dividend Date less any Cash Dividends paid and (2) the Conversion Price in effect on the applicable Dividend Date.

(c) When any Dividend Shares are to be paid on an Dividend Date to any Holder, the Company shall (i) (A) provided that (x) the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and (y) such Dividend Shares to be so issued are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), credit such aggregate number of Dividend Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled to such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (B) if either of the immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y) is not satisfied, issue and deliver on the applicable Dividend Date, to the address set forth in the register maintained by the Company for such purpose pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement or to such address as specified by such Holder in writing to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable Dividend Date, a certificate, registered in the name of such Holder or its designee, for the number of Dividend Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled and (ii) with respect to each Dividend Date, pay to such Holder, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of any Cash Dividend. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Dividend Shares.

(d)

In the event that a Holder requests the payment of Dividends on any Optional Dividend Date, such Dividends shall be payable in accordance with mechanisms set forth in Sections 4(c)(i)-(ii) and Section 5(b), as applicable. The Dividends shall be paid, at the Holder’s option in cash, in Dividend Shares, or any combination of cash and Dividend Shares, so long as there has been no Equity Conditions Failure and so long as the delivery of Dividend Shares would not violate the provisions of Section 4(e). Dividends to be paid to such Holder on an Optional Dividend Date in Dividend Shares shall be paid in a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (1) the amount of Dividends payable to such Holder on such Optional Dividend Date less any Dividends paid in cash and (2) the Conversion Price in effect on the applicable Optional Dividend Date.

4. Conversion. Each Preferred Share shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.

(a) Holder’s Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(e) and Section 5, at any time or times after the date (the “Initial Conversion Date”) that is six (6) months after the Initial Issuance Date, each Holder shall be entitled to convert any whole number of Preferred Shares and any accrued but unpaid Dividends into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 4(c) at the Conversion Rate (as defined below); provided, however, the maximum number of Preferred Shares that may be converted by such Holder during the five (5) Trading Day period following the Initial Conversion Date and every five (5) Trading Day period thereafter (each a “Monthly Conversion Period”) shall be no greater than that number of Preferred Shares with an aggregate Stated Value equal to $20,000 (the “Maximum Conversion Shares”) unless the Company and the Holder agree in writing to increase the Maximum Conversion Shares for each respective Monthly Conversion Period.

(b) Conversion Rate. The number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion (the “Conversion Shares”) of each Preferred Share pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be determined according to the following formula (the “Conversion Rate”):

(Conversion Amount x Conversion Premium)
Conversion Price

No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the conversion of any Preferred Shares. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share.

(c)

Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of each Preferred Share shall be conducted in the following manner:

(i) Holder’s Conversion. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(e) and Section 5, to convert Preferred Shares into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), a Holder shall deliver (whether via facsimile or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion of Preferred Shares subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company, which Conversion Notice shall be subject to an adjustment to the Conversion Price set forth on such Conversion Notice upon the close of the Principal Market on the Conversion Date. If required by Section 4(c)(vi), within three (3) Trading Days following a conversion of any such Preferred Shares into Common Shares as aforesaid, such Holder shall surrender to a nationally

recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company the original certificates representing the share(s) of Preferred Shares (the “Preferred Share Certificates”) so converted as aforesaid.

(ii) Company’s Response. On or before the second (^2nd) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Transfer Agent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the second (^2nd) Trading Day following the date of receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice, the Company shall (1) provided that (x) the Transfer Agent is participating in DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and (y) such Conversion Shares and Dividend Shares (as applicable) to be so issued are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) credit such aggregate number of Conversion Shares and Dividend Shares (as applicable) to which such Holder shall be entitled to such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (2) if either of the immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y) are not satisfied, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in such Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of such Holder or its designee, for the number of Conversion Shares and Dividend Shares (as applicable) to which such Holder shall be entitled. If the number of Preferred Shares represented by the Preferred Share Certificate(s) submitted for conversion pursuant to Section 4(c)(vi) is greater than the number of Preferred Shares being converted, then the Company shall if requested by such Holder, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after receipt of the Preferred Share Certificate(s) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a new Preferred Share Certificate representing the number of Preferred Shares not converted.

(iii) Record Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

(iv) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to issue to a Holder within two (2) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice (whether via facsimile or otherwise) (the “Share Delivery Deadline”), a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such

Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to credit such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any Preferred Shares (as the case may be) (a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, such Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned (as the case may be) any Preferred Shares that have not been converted pursuant to such Holder’s Conversion Notice, provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations or otherwise.

(v) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such Preferred Shares submitted for conversion, the Company shall convert from each Holder electing to have Preferred Shares converted on such date a pro rata amount of such Holder’s Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date based on the number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the aggregate number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Preferred Shares, the Company shall issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 22.

(vi) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4, upon conversion of any Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, no Holder thereof shall be required to physically surrender the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to the Company following conversion thereof unless (A) the full or remaining number of Preferred Shares represented by the certificate are being converted (in which event such certificate(s) shall be delivered to the Company as contemplated by this Section 4(c)(vi)) or (B) such Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of Preferred Shares upon physical surrender of any Preferred Shares. Each Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Preferred Shares so converted by such Holder and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of the certificate representing the Preferred Shares upon each such

conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of such Holder establishing the number of Preferred Shares to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. A Holder and any transferee or assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred Shares represented by such certificate may be less than the number of Preferred Shares stated on the face thereof. Each certificate for Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend:

ANY TRANSFEREE OR ASSIGNEE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE CORPORATION’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 4(c)(vi) THEREOF. THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 4(c)(vi) OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.

(d) Taxes. The Holder shall pay any and all documentary, stamp, transfer (but only in respect of the registered holder thereof), issuance and other similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of Preferred Shares.

(e) Limitation on Beneficial Ownership.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate of Designations, the Preferred Shares held by a Holder shall not be convertible by such Holder, and the Company shall not effect any conversion of any Preferred Shares held by such Holder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that such Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether the Preferred Shares held by such Holder shall be convertible (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned by such Holder and its affiliates) shall, subject to such Maximum

Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability of a Holder to convert Preferred Shares, or of the Company to issue shares of Common Stock to such Holder, pursuant to this Section 4(e) shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 4(e) with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility or issuance (as the case may be). For purposes of this Section 4(e), beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this Section 4(e) shall be implemented in a manner otherwise in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(e) to correct this Section 4(e) (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 4(e) shall apply to a successor holder of Preferred Shares. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 4(e) and the Company may not waive this Section 4(e) without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Certificate of Designations or securities issued pursuant to the other Transaction Documents. By written notice to the Company, any Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the 61^st day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder sending such notice and not to any other Holder.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4(e) to the contrary and subject to the other provisions of this Certificate of Designations, the Holder may, at its option and in its sole discretion, determine (A) whether the Preferred Shares held by such Holder shall be convertible (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates) and (B) of which such securities shall be convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned by such Holder and its affiliates) on any

basis, order, or amounts for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be).

(ii) Principal Market Regulation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any Preferred Shares or otherwise pursuant to this Certificate of Designations, until the Company obtains the Stockholder Approval, to the extent such Stockholder Approval is necessary for such issuance.

(f)

Anti-Dilution. If, at any time during the period twelve (12) months from a Holder’s Initial Issuance Date, the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 4(f) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holders in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 4(f), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 4(f), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holders will be entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.

5. Optional and Triggered Redemption

(a)

Company One-Time Redemption. In addition to the Company’s Monthly Redemption right as set forth in Section 5(c), at any time before the date six (6) months from a Holder’s Initial Issuance Date and provided that no Equity Conditions Failure (as defined below) exists, the Company shall have the

right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Preferred Shares then outstanding, plus the then accrued and unpaid Dividends (the “Company One-Time Redemption Amount”). The Preferred Shares subject to redemption described herein shall be redeemed by the Company, in cash at a price per Preferred Share (the “Company One-Time Redemption Price”) equal to (1) one hundred and fifteen percent (115%) of the Stated Value, plus (2) all Additional Amounts, plus (3) all Make-Whole Amounts, plus (4) any accrued and unpaid Late Charges (as defined in Section 22(b)(ii)) with respect to such Stated Value as of such date of determination. The Company may exercise its redemption option under this Section 5(a) by delivering a written notice thereof by facsimile or electronic mail to all, but not less than all, of the Holders (the “Company One-Time Redemption Notice” and the date all of the Holders received such notice is referred to as the “Company One-Time Redemption Notice Date”). The Company may deliver only one Company One-Time Redemption Notice hereunder and such Company One-Time Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. The Company One-Time Redemption Notice shall (x) state the date on which the Company One-Time Redemption shall occur (the “Company One-Time Redemption Date”) which date shall not be less than sixty (60) Trading Days nor more than seventy- five (75) Trading Days following the Company One-Time Redemption Notice Date, (y) certify that there has been no Equity Conditions Failure and (z) state the aggregate Company One-Time Redemption Amount of the Preferred Shares which is being redeemed in such Company Optional Redemption from such Holder and all of the other Holders of the Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 5(a) on the Company Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if no Equity Conditions Failure has occurred as of the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date but an Equity Conditions Failure occurs at any time prior to the Company One-Time Redemption Date, (A) the Company shall provide each Holder a subsequent notice to that effect and (B) unless such Holder waives the Equity Conditions Failure, the Company One-Time Redemption with respect to such Holder shall be cancelled and the applicable Company One-Time Redemption Notice shall be null and void and (ii) at any time prior to the date the Company One-Time Redemption Price is paid, in full, the Company One-Time Redemption Amount may be converted, in whole or in part, by any Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4. All Conversion Amounts converted by a Holder after the Company One-Time Redemption Notice Date shall reduce the Company One-Time Redemption Amount of the Preferred Shares of such Holder required to be redeemed on the Company One-Time Redemption Date. Redemptions made pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall be made in accordance with Section 5(d). In the event of the Company’s redemption of any of the Preferred Shares under this Section 5(a), a Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for such Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 5(a) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed,

a reasonable estimate of such Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no right to effect a Company One-Time Redemption if any Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing, but any Triggering Event shall have no effect upon any Holder’s right to convert Preferred Shares in its discretion.

(b)

Triggering Event Redemptions.

(i)

Triggering Event. Each of the following events shall constitute a “Triggering Event” and each of the events in clauses (ix), (x) and (xi) shall constitute a “Bankruptcy Triggering Event”:

a false or inaccurate certification (including a false or inaccurate deemed certification) by the Company that either (A) the Equity Conditions are satisfied, (B) there has been no Equity Conditions Failure, or (C) as to whether any Triggering Event has occurred, and such Holder suffers economic damage thereby;

(ii) Notice of a Triggering Event; Redemption Right. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event with respect to the Preferred Shares, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days deliver written notice thereof via facsimile or electronic mail (a “Triggering Event Notice”) to each Holder. At any time after the earlier of a Holder’s receipt of a Triggering Event Notice and such Holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event (such earlier date, the “Triggering Event Right Commencement Date”) and ending (such ending date, the “Triggering Event Right Expiration Date”, and each such period, a “Triggering Event Redemption Right Period”) on the tenth (10^th) Trading Day

after the later of (x) the date such Triggering Event is cured (notwithstanding, the Company shall only have five (5) calendar days to cure any Equity Conditions Failure) and (y) such Holder’s receipt of a Triggering Event Notice that includes (I) a reasonable description of the applicable Triggering Event, (II) a certification as to whether, in the opinion of the Company, such Triggering Event is capable of being cured and, if applicable, a reasonable description of any existing plans of the Company to cure such Triggering Event and (III) a certification as to the date the Triggering Event occurred and, if cured on or prior to the date of such Triggering Event Notice, the applicable Triggering Event Right Expiration Date, such Holder may require the Company to redeem (regardless of whether such Triggering Event has been cured on or prior to the Triggering Event Right Expiration Date) all or any of the Preferred Shares held by such Holder by delivering written notice thereof (the “Triggering Event Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Triggering Event Redemption Notice shall indicate the number of the Preferred Shares such Holder is electing to redeem. Each of the Preferred Shares subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be redeemed by the Company, at the Holder’s option, for shares of Common Stock at a price equal to the lesser of (i) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount to be redeemed multiplied by (B) one hundred thirty five percent (135%) (the “Triggering Event Redemption Premium”) and (ii) the product of (X) the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount in effect at such time as such Holder delivers a Triggering Event Redemption Notice multiplied by (Y) the product of (1) the Trigger Event Redemption Premium multiplied by (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such Triggering Event and ending on the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made under this Section 5(b) (the “Triggering Event Redemption Price”). In the event that the Company elects to pay the Trigger Event Redemption Price in shares of Common Stock, the Company shall issue the shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to 90% of the then applicable Conversion Price (the “Triggering Event Redemption Conversion Price”). For the avoidance of doubt, if Holders are requesting redemptions at the Triggering Event Redemption Conversion Price due to an Equity Conditions Failure, upon a cure of the Equity Conditions Failure, the Company shall not be required to pay to the Holders the redemptions described in this Section 5(b) in shares of Common Stock at the Triggering Event Conversion Redemption Price. Triggering Redemptions required by this Section 5(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 5. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5(b), but subject to Section 4(e), until the Triggering Event Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges (as defined in Section 22(b)(ii)) thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 5(b) (together

with any Late Charges (as defined in Section 22(b)(ii)) thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by such Holder into Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any of the Preferred Shares under this Section 5(b), a Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for such Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 5(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of such Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

(iii)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5(b), upon a Trigger Event, each Holder shall have the option to redeem all of its Preferred Shares in accordance with this Section 5(b). Additionally, following a Triggering Event, interest shall accrue on the amount due to a Holder at a rate of two percent (2%) per month until such Holder is paid in full.

(iv) Mandatory Redemption upon Bankruptcy Triggering Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and notwithstanding any conversion that is then required or in process, upon any Bankruptcy Triggering Event, the Company shall immediately redeem, in cash, each of the Preferred Shares then outstanding at a redemption price equal to the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price (calculated as if such Holder shall have delivered the Triggering Event Redemption Notice immediately prior to the occurrence of such Bankruptcy Triggering Event), without the requirement for any notice or demand or other action by any Holder or any other person or entity, provided that a Holder may, in its sole discretion, waive such right to receive payment upon a Bankruptcy Triggering Event, in whole or in part, and any such waiver shall not affect any other rights of such Holder or any other Holder hereunder, including any other rights in respect of such Bankruptcy Triggering Event, any right to conversion, and any right to payment of such Triggering Event Redemption Price or any other Redemption Price, as applicable.

(c) Company Monthly Redemption. On or after the date that is six (6) months from the Initial Issuance Date, on each Business Day before the Monthly Conversion Period as described in Section 4(a), the Company, at its sole discretion, shall have the right to redeem all or a portion of the Maximum Conversion Shares (the “Monthly Redemption Shares”), in cash at a price per Maximum Conversion Share (the “Company Monthly Redemption Price”) equal to (1) one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Stated Value of such Monthly Redemption Shares, plus (2) all Additional Amounts with respect to such Monthly Redemption Shares, plus (3) all Make-Whole Amounts with respect to such Monthly Redemption Shares, plus (4) any accrued and unpaid Late Charges (as defined in Section 22(b)(ii)) with respect to the Stated Value of such Monthly Redemption Shares as of such date of determination. The

Company may exercise its redemption option under this Section 5(c) by delivering a written notice thereof by facsimile or electronic mail to all, but not less than all, of the Holders (the “Company Monthly Redemption Notice” and the date all of the Holders received such notice is referred to as the “Company Monthly Redemption Notice Date”). The Company may deliver only one Company Monthly Redemption Notice with respect to any Monthly Conversion Period hereunder and such Company Monthly Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. The Company Monthly Redemption Notice shall (x) state the date on which the Company One-Time Redemption shall occur (the “Company Monthly Redemption Date”) which date shall be no more than three (3) Trading Days following the Company Monthly Redemption Notice Date, (y) certify that there has been no Equity Conditions Failure and (z) state the aggregate Company Monthly Redemption Shares which is being redeemed in such Company Monthly Redemption from such Holder and all of the other Holders of Monthly Redemption Shares pursuant to this Section 5(c) on the Company Monthly Redemption Date. Redemptions made pursuant to this Section 5(c) shall be made in accordance with Section 5(d). In the event of the Company’s redemption of any of the Preferred Shares under this Section 5(c), a Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for such Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 5(c) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of such Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no right to effect a Company Monthly Redemption if any Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing, but any Triggering Event shall have no effect upon any Holder’s right to convert Preferred Shares in its discretion.

(d)

Redemptions.

(i)

General. If a Holder has submitted a Triggering Event Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5(b)(ii), the Company shall deliver the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price to such Holder in cash within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such Holder’s Triggering Event Redemption Notice. If the Company has deliver Monthly Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5(c), the Company shall deliver the Monthly Redemption Price, in cash, within three (3) Trading Days following the Company Monthly Redemption Notice Date. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Preferred Shares held by such Holder, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to such Holder a new Preferred Certificate (likewise to the procedure set forth in Section 14) representing the number of Preferred Shares which have not been redeemed. In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to a Holder

within the time period required for any reason (except if such payment is prohibited pursuant to the FBCA), at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, such Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to such Holder all or any of the Preferred Shares that were submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Preferred Shares, (y) the Company shall immediately return the applicable Preferred Share Certificate, or issue a new Preferred Share Certificate (likewise to the procedure set forth in Section 14), to such Holder.

(ii)

Redemption by Multiple Holders. Upon the Company’s receipt of a Redemption Notice from any Holder for redemption or repayment as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section 5(b)(ii), the Company shall immediately, but no later than one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, forward to each other Holder by facsimile or electronic mail a copy of such notice. If the Company receives one or more Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the Company’s receipt of the initial Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the initial Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all principal, interest and other amounts designated in such initial Redemption Notice and such other Redemption Notices received during such seven (7) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder based on the principal amount of the Preferred Shares submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notices received by the Company during such seven (7) Business Day period.

(iii)

Triggering Event Redemptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 5(b)(ii) or 5(b)(iv), the Company shall have no obligation to comply with such Sections 5(b)(ii) or 5(b)(iv) at any time that (x) the Company does not have surplus as described under the FBCA or funds legally available to redeem all outstanding Preferred Shares, (y) the Company’s capital is impaired as described under the FBCA or (z) the redemption of any Preferred Shares would result in an impairment of the Company’s capital as described under FBCA; provided, however that in the event that the Company does not comply with the provisions of Sections 5(b)(ii) or 5(b)(iv) by virtue of the restrictions in this Section 5(d)(iii), the Company will comply with

the provisions of Sections 5(b)(ii) or 5(b)(iv) promptly after such restrictions are no longer applicable.

6. Rights Upon Fundamental Transactions. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6 pursuant to written agreements, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Preferred Shares in exchange for such Preferred Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Certificate of Designations, including, without limitation, having a Stated Value and Dividend Rate equal to the stated value and dividend rate of the Preferred Shares held by the Holders and having similar ranking to the Preferred Shares, and reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose shares of common stock are quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any 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 Designations and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein and therein. In addition to the foregoing, upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to each Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 7(a) and 12, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which each Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction had all the Preferred Shares held by each Holder been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares contained in this Certificate of Designations), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations. The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares.

7. Rights Upon Issuance of Purchase Rights and Other Corporate Events.

(a) Intentionally Omitted.

(b) Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that each Holder will during the period sixty (60) days following the Corporate Event have the right to receive upon a conversion of all the Preferred Shares held by such Holder (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which such Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by such Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred Shares contained in this Certificate of Designations) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as such Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Preferred Shares held by such Holder initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. The provisions of this Section 7 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares contained in this Certificate of Designations.

8. Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. Without limiting any provision of Section 7 or Section 12, if the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any provision of Section 7 or Section 12, if the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 8 shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 8 occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

9. Authorized Shares.

(a) Reservation. The Company shall initially reserve out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of (i) 300% of the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount of each Preferred Share as of the Initial Issuance Date (assuming for purposes hereof, that all the Preferred Shares issuable pursuant to the Securities Purchase have been issued, such Preferred Shares are convertible at the Conversion Price and without taking into account any limitations on the conversion of such Preferred Shares set forth in herein) and (ii) the maximum number of Dividend Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations from the Initial Issuance Date through the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date (assuming for purposes hereof, that all the Preferred Shares issuable pursuant to the Second Securities Purchase Agreement have been issued and without taking into account any limitations on the issuance of securities set forth herein). So long as any of the Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares, as of any given date, the sum of (i) 300% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Preferred Shares issued or issuable pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and (ii) the maximum number of Dividend Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations from such date through the fifth (5^th) anniversary of such given date, assuming for purposes hereof, that all the Preferred Shares issuable pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement have been issued and without taking into account any limitations on the issuance of securities set forth herein), provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock so available be less than the number of shares required to be reserved by the previous sentence (without regard to any limitations on conversions contained in this Certificate of Designations) (the “Required Amount”). The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Preferred Shares and for issuance as Dividend Shares and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of Preferred Shares held by each Holder on the Initial Issuance Date or increase in the number of reserved shares (as the case may be) (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Preferred Shares, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Preferred Shares shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Preferred Shares, pro rata based on the number of Preferred Shares then held by such Holders.

(b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 9(a) and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Preferred Shares remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to have available for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Shares at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve and have available the Required Amount for all of the Preferred Shares then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting or obtain written consent of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement or information statement, as applicable, and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its Board to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.

(c)

Increases in Reserved Share Ratio. With respect to a particular date of determination, that the quotient of (x) the sum of the VWAP of the Common Stock for each Trading Day in the Ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending and including the Trading Day immediately preceding such date of determination, divided by (y)ten (10) is less than $0.005 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions) then the Company is required to reserve no less than 1,000% of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder would be entitled to receive upon a conversion in full of the Preferred Shares held by such Holder (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in this Certificate of Designations);

10. Voting Rights. Holders of Preferred Shares shall have no voting rights, except as required by law (including without limitation, the FBCA) and as expressly provided in this Certificate of Designations. To the extent that under the FBCA the vote of the holders of the Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class or series as applicable, is required to authorize a given action of the Company, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of all of the Preferred Shares, voting together in the aggregate and not in separate series unless required under the FBCA, represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is presented or by written consent of all of the Preferred Shares (except as otherwise may be required under the FBCA), voting together in the aggregate and not in separate series unless required under the FBCA, shall constitute the approval of such action by both the class or the series, as applicable. Subject to Section

4(e), to the extent that under the FBCA holders of the Preferred Shares are entitled to vote on a matter with holders of shares of Common Stock, voting together as one class, each Preferred Share shall entitle the holder thereof to cast that number of votes per share as is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which it is then convertible (subject to the ownership limitations specified in Section 4(e) hereof) using the record date for determining the stockholders of the Company eligible to vote on such matters as the date as of which the Conversion Price is calculated. Notwithstanding, anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that under the FBCA holders of the Preferred Shares are entitled to vote on a matter with holders of shares of Common Stock, no Holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to cast votes representing more than 4.99% of the votes entitled to be cast in the matter. Holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to written notice of all stockholder meetings or written consents (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to stockholders) with respect to which they would be entitled by vote, which notice would be provided pursuant to the Company’s bylaws and the FBCA).

11. Liquidation, Dissolution, Winding-Up. In the event of a Liquidation Event, the Holders shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its stockholders (the “Liquidation Funds”), before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any of shares of Junior Stock, an amount per Preferred Share equal to the greater of (A) 100% of the Stated Value and (B) the amount per share such Holder would receive if such Holder converted such Preferred Shares into Common Stock immediately prior to the date of such payment, provided that if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the Holders and holders of shares of Parity Stock, then each Holder and each holder of Parity Stock shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder and such holder of Parity Stock as a liquidation preference, in accordance with their respective certificate of designations (or equivalent), as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all holders of Preferred Shares and all holders of shares of Parity Stock. To the extent necessary, the Company shall cause such actions to be taken by each of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this Section 11. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section 11 shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Company to the holders of shares of Junior Stock in connection with a Liquidation Event as to which this Section 11 applies.

12. Participation. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8, the Holders shall, as holders of Preferred Shares, be entitled to receive such dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of shares of Common Stock to the same extent as if such Holders had converted each Preferred Share held by each of them into shares of Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere) and had held such shares of Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and

distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock (provided, however, to the extent that a Holder’s right to participate in any such dividend or distribution would result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution to such extent (or the beneficial ownership of any such shares of Common Stock as a result of such dividend or distribution to such extent) and such dividend or distribution to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of such Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).

13. Vote to Change the Terms of or Issue Preferred Shares. In addition to any other rights provided by law, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by another provision of the Articles of Incorporation, without first obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders, voting together as a single class, the Company shall not amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, its Articles of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any certificate of designations or articles of amendment of any series of shares of preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or change in any respect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers, or restrictions provided for the benefit, of the Preferred Shares, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise; provided, however, the Company shall be entitled, without the consent of the Required Holders unless such consent is otherwise required by the FBCA, to (a) amend the Articles of Incorporation to effectuate one or more reverse stock splits of its issued and outstanding Common Stock for purposes of maintaining compliance with the rules and regulations of the Principal Market; (b) purchase, repurchase or redeem any shares of capital stock of the Company junior in rank to the Preferred Shares (other than pursuant to equity incentive agreements (that have in good faith been approved by the Board) with employees giving the Company the right to repurchase shares upon the termination of services); or (c) issue any preferred stock that is junior in rank to the Preferred Shares.

14. Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificates representing Preferred Shares (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the applicable Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver new certificate(s) of like tenor and date.

15. Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designations and any of the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of

specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and no remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy. Nothing herein shall limit any Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designations. The Company covenants to each Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by a Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, each Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to a Holder that is requested by such Holder to enable such Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Certificate of Designations.

16. Noncircumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Certificate of Designations, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Certificate of Designations and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Certificate of Designations, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the conversion of any Preferred Shares above the Conversion Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of Preferred Shares and (iii) shall, so long as any Preferred Shares are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of the Preferred Shares then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein).

17. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized

representative of the waiving party. This Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all Holders and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof.

18. Notices. The Company shall provide each Holder of Preferred Shares with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Certificate of Designations, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice must be in writing and shall be given in accordance with the signature page of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall give written notice to each Holder (i) promptly following any adjustment of the Conversion Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment and (ii) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any grant, issuances, or sales of any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property to all holders of shares of Common Stock as a class or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided, in each case, that such information shall be made known to the public prior to, or simultaneously with, such notice being provided to any Holder.

19. Transfer of Preferred Shares. Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, a Holder may transfer some or all of its Preferred Shares with the Company having first right of refusal provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

20. Preferred Shares Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holders), a register for the Preferred Shares, in which the Company shall record the name, address and facsimile number of the Persons in whose name the Preferred Shares have been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the Person in whose name any Preferred Shares is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly made transfers.

21. Stockholder Matters; Amendment.

(a) Stockholder Matters. Any stockholder action, approval or consent required, desired or otherwise sought by the Company pursuant to the FBCA, the Articles of Incorporation, this Certificate of Designations or otherwise with respect to the issuance of Preferred Shares may be effected by written consent of the Company’s stockholders or at a duly called meeting of the Company’s stockholders, all in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the FBCA. This provision is intended to comply with the applicable sections of the

FBCA permitting stockholder action, approval and consent affected by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

(b) Amendment. This Certificate of Designations or any provision hereof may be amended by obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose, or written consent without a meeting in accordance with the FBCA, of the Required Holders, voting separate as a single class, and with such other stockholder approval, if any, as may then be required pursuant to the FBCA and the Articles of Incorporation.

22. Dispute Resolution.

(a) Submission to Dispute Resolution.

(i) In the case of a dispute relating to a Closing Sale Price, a Conversion Price, a VWAP or a fair market value or the arithmetic calculation of a Conversion Rate (as the case may be) (including, without limitation, a dispute relating to the determination of any of the foregoing), the Company or the applicable Holder (as the case may be) shall submit the dispute to the other party via facsimile (A) if by the Company, within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute or (B) if by such Holder at any time after such Holder learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If such Holder and the Company are unable to promptly resolve such dispute relating to such Closing Sale Price, such Conversion Price, such VWAP or such fair market value, or the arithmetic calculation of such Conversion Rate (as the case may be), at any time after the second (2^nd) Business Day following such initial notice by the Company or such Holder (as the case may be) of such dispute to the Company or such Holder (as the case may be), then such Holder may, at its sole option, select an independent, reputable investment bank to resolve such dispute.

(ii) Such Holder and the Company shall each deliver to such investment bank (A) a copy of the initial dispute submission so delivered in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 22 and (B) written documentation supporting its position with respect to such dispute, in each case, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) by the fifth (5^th) Business Day immediately following the date on which such Holder selected such investment bank (the “Dispute Submission Deadline”) (the documents referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) are collectively referred to herein as the “Required Dispute Documentation”) (it being understood and agreed that if either such Holder or the Company fails to so deliver all of the Required Dispute Documentation by the Dispute Submission Deadline, then the party who fails to so submit all of the Required Dispute Documentation shall no

longer be entitled to (and hereby waives its right to) deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank with respect to such dispute and such investment bank shall resolve such dispute based solely on the Required Dispute Documentation that was delivered to such investment bank prior to the Dispute Submission Deadline). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both the Company and such Holder or otherwise requested by such investment bank, neither the Company nor such Holder shall be entitled to deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank in connection with such dispute (other than the Required Dispute Documentation) .

(iii) The Company and such Holder shall cause such investment bank to determine the resolution of such dispute and notify the Company and such Holder of such resolution no later than ten (10) Business Days immediately following the Dispute Submission Deadline. The fees and expenses of such investment bank shall be borne solely by the Company, and such investment bank’s resolution of such dispute shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error.

(b) Miscellaneous.

(i)

Whenever any payment of cash is to be made by the Company to any Person pursuant to this Certificate of Designations, unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, such payment shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by a certified check drawn on the account of the Company and sent via overnight courier service to such Person at such address as previously provided to the Company in writing, provided that such Holder may elect to receive a payment of cash via wire transfer of immediately available funds by providing the Company with prior written notice setting out such request and such Holder’s wire transfer instructions.
