2. Ranking. With respect to the payment of dividends and distribution of amounts of the Company’s net assets upon a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the Series B Preferred ranks senior to the Common Stock and any other class or series of the Company’s stock over which the Series B Preferred has preference or priority in the payment of dividends or in the distribution of assets on liquidation, as the case may be, to which is referred to herein as “Junior Stock”, equally with any other class or series of Company stock that ranks on a par with the Series B Preferred in the payment of dividends or in the distribution of assets on liquidation, as the case may be, which is referred to herein as “Parity Stock,” and junior, in all matters expressly provided, to any class or series of Preferred Stock specifically ranking by its terms senior to the Series B Preferred in the payment of dividends or in the distribution of assets on liquidation, as the case may be, which is referred to herein as “Senior Stock”.

From and after the date of issuance of any Preferred Shares (the “Initial Issuance Date”), each holder of a Preferred Share (each, a “Holder” and, collectively, the “Holders”) shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, out of funds legally available for such purpose, dividends (“Dividends”) in cash at the rate of 12% of the Stated Value per annum on each of the Preferred Share, paid quarterly in arrears. Such dividends shall be cumulative and shall accrue without interest from the date of issuance of the respective share of Preferred Shares.

 

 

 

 

4. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, each Holder shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to stockholders of the Company and shall be entitled to 55,000 votes for each Preferred Share owned at the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such matter or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited.

11. Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designation shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designation and any other remedies as shall be available to the holder of Preferred Shares, 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 Designation. 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 seek 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. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to a Holder that is reasonably requested by such Holder to enable such Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Certificate of Designation.

 

12. Noncircumvention.

13. 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 Designation 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.
