III. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE
In any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive (a) in preference to the holders of the Common Stock (b) on a pari passu basis to any sum that the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, but (c) subordinate in preference to any sum that the holders of any shares of any other series of the Corporation's Preferred Stock shall be entitled, an amount equal to $1 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, forward stock split, or other similar recapitalization). After payment of such sums, (i) the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) the holders of the Common Stock, shall be entitled to receive any remaining assets of the Corporation on a pro rata, as-converted basis assuming conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the then- current Conversion Rate.

V. DIVIDEND RIGHTS
Initially, there will be no dividends due or payable on the Series C Preferred Stock. Any future terms with respect to dividends shall be determined by the Board consistent with the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation. Any and all such future terms concerning dividends shall be reflected in an amendment to this Certificate, which the Board shall promptly file or cause to be filed.
VI. CONVERISON RIGHTS
A. Conversion at the Option of the Holder. Each holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock may, at any time and from time to time, convert (an "Optional Conversion") each of its shares of Series C Preferred Stock into 500 of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that any Optional Conversion must involve the issuance of at least 10,000 shares of Common Stock.
B. Mechanics of Conversion. In order to effect an Optional Conversion, a holder shall: (i) fax (or otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed Notice of Conversion to the Corporation and (ii) surrender or cause to be surrendered the original certificates representing the Series C Preferred Stock being converted (the "Preferred Stock Certificates"), duly endorsed with a medallion stamp, along with a copy of the Notice of Conversion as soon as practicable thereafter to the Corporation's Transfer Agent with a copy sent to the Corporation (Attention: Secretary). The Corporation shall be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock upon a conversion upon either the Preferred Stock Certificates are delivered to the Corporation's Transfer Agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the Corporation that such Preferred Stock Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and delivers the documentation (and pays any bond that may be required) to the Corporation required by Corporation and its transfer agent.

(i) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon the surrender of Preferred Stock Certificates accompanied by a Notice of Conversion, the Corporation (itself, or through its transfer agent) shall, no later than the later of (a) the third business day following the Conversion Date and (b) the business day following the date of such surrender (or, in the case of lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, after provision of indemnity pursuant to this Designation) (the "Delivery Period"), issue and deliver (i.e., deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier service postage prepaid) to the holder or its nominee (x) that number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock being converted and (y) a certificate representing the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock not being converted, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Corporation's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, and so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend (pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the holder thereof is not then required to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon (pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement), the Corporation shall cause its transfer agent to promptly electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the holder by crediting the account of the holder or its nominee with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system ("DTC Transfer"). If the aforementioned conditions to a DTC Transfer are not satisfied, the Corporation shall deliver as provided above to the holder physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion. Further, a holder may instruct the Corporation to deliver to the holder physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion in lieu of delivering such shares by way of DTC Transfer.
(ii) Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all taxes that may be imposed upon it with respect to the issuance and delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock.
(iii) No Fractional Shares. If any conversion of Series C Preferred Stock would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock (aggregating all shares of Series C Preferred Stock being converted pursuant to a given Notice of Conversion), such fractional share shall be payable in cash based upon the ten day average Closing Sales Price of the Common Stock at such time, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be the next lower whole number of shares. If the Corporation elects not to, or is unable to, make such a cash payment, the holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.
(iv) Conversion Disputes. In the case of any dispute with respect to a conversion, the Corporation shall promptly issue such number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with subparagraph (i) above as are not disputed. If such dispute involves the calculation of the Conversion Price, and such dispute is not promptly resolved by discussion between the relevant holder and the Corporation, the Corporation shall submit the disputed calculations to an independent outside accountant via facsimile within three business days of receipt of the Notice of Conversion. The accountant, at the Corporation's sole expense, shall promptly audit the calculations and notify the Corporation and the holder of the results no later than three business days from the date it receives the disputed calculations. The accountant's calculation shall be deemed conclusive, absent manifest error. The Corporation shall then issue the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with subparagraph (i) above.
(v) Payment of Fees. Holder shall pay for any and all fees from the Company's Transfer Agent regarding the conversion of the Series C Preferred into Common Stock.
C. Effect of Reverse and Forward Splits. In the event of a reverse split the conversion ratio stated in Article VI(a) shall not be change. However, in the event a forward split shall occur then the conversion ratio stated in Article VI(a) shall be modified to be increased by the same ratio as the forward split.
