Section (f) Separability/Effect of Transfer.

Upon the three year anniversary of the effective date of the Certificate of Designation, the Company will issue a certificate representing the Royalty Payment Rights to each Holder of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at such date. Such Royalty Payment Rights certificate shall set forth the applicable percentage of any Royalty Amounts payable by the Company on or after the date of issuance of such Royalty Payment Rights certificate and the other applicable terms for such Royalty Payment Rights. Following the issuance of Royalty Payment Rights certificate, the Holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will not have any Royalty Payment Rights resulting from their ownership of such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Royalty Payment Rights shall soley be evidenced by the Royalty Payment Rights certificate and may be transferred, subject to the availability of an exemption from registration under applicable state and federal securities laws, separately from the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. For all transfers made prior to the three year anniversary of effective date of the Certificate of Designation, the Royalty Payment Rights will follow any transfer of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. If a Holder transfers any of its shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock prior to the three year anniversary of the effective date of the Certificate of Designation, the transferee of such shares will have thereafter the Royalty Payment Rights related to the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock it receives, and the transferring Holder will thereafter no longer have any Royalty Payment Rights in respect of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock it transferred.
Section (g) Unsecured Obligations. The Royalty Payment Rights are unsecured obligations of the Company.
Section (h) Amendments, Modifications and Waivers. Prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date, all modifications, amendments or waivers to the Royalty Payment Rights shall require the written consent of the Company and the Holders of the majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Following the issuance of the Royalty Payment Rights certificate, all modifications, amendments or waivers to the Royalty Payment Rights shall require the written consent of the Company and the holders of Royalty Payment Rights certificates representing, in the aggregate, the right to receive at least 50% of any Royalty Amount payable by the Company.
