The Series A Preferred will rank with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution: (a) senior to the Common Stock and all other Junior Securities; (b) pari passu with all Pari Passu Securities; and (c) junior to all Senior Securities. (II) DISTRIBUTIONS.

DIVIDENDS. (I). GENERAL OBLIGATION. When and as declared by the Corporation's Board of Directors and to the extent permitted under the FBCA of the State of Florida, and subject to the terms of any Senior Securities, the Corporation will pay preferential dividends to the holders of the Series A Preferred as provided in this Section 5(c)(i). Dividends on each share of the Series A Preferred (a "Share") will accrue on a daily basis at the rate of 18% per annum of the sum of the Liquidation Value thereof from time to time plus all accumulated and unpaid 7 14 dividends thereon from and including the date of issuance of such Share to and including the first to occur of: (a) the date on which the Liquidation Value of such Share (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) is paid to the holder thereof in connection with the liquidation of the Corporation; or (b) the date on which such Share is acquired by the Corporation. Such dividends will accrue whether or not they have been declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. The date on which the Corporation initially issues any Share will be deemed to be its "date of issuance" regardless of the number of times transfer of such Share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such Share. (II) DIVIDEND REFERENCE DATES. To the extent not paid on March 31, June 30, September 30 or December 31 of any year, beginning with the first such date after the date of issuance of the Share in question (each a "Dividend Reference Date"), all dividends which have accrued on each Share outstanding during the three-month period (or other period, in the case of the first Dividend Reference Date after the date of issuance of such Share) ending upon each such Dividend Reference Date will be accumulated and will remain accumulated and accrue dividends with respect to such Share until paid to the holder thereof. (III) DISTRIBUTION OF PARTIAL DIVIDEND PAYMENTS. If at any time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the Series A Preferred, such payment will be distributed pro rata among the holders thereof based upon the rank and number of Shares held by each such holder. 5(d). LIQUIDATION. Subject to the terms of any Senior Securities, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (whether voluntary or involuntary), each holder of Series A Preferred will be entitled to be paid, after any required distribution or payment is made upon any Senior Securities, before any distribution or payment is made upon any Junior Securities, and on a pari passu basis (pro rata according to the relative amounts to be paid) with any required distribution or payment to be made upon any Pari Passu Securities, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value of all Shares held by such holder (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon), and the holders of Series A Preferred will not be entitled to any further payment. If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation the Corporation's assets to be distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred and any Pari Passu Securities are insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the aggregate amount which they are entitled to be paid under this Section 5(d), then the entire assets available to be distributed to the Corporation's shareholders will be distributed pro rata among the holders of Series A Preferred and any Pari Passu Securities based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all accrued and unpaid 8 15 dividends) of the Series A Preferred, and the comparable amount payable to the holders of any Pari Passu Securities, held by each such holder. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation into or with any other entity or entities (whether or not the Corporation is the surviving entity), nor the sale or transfer by the Corporation of all or any part of its assets, nor the reduction of the capital stock of the Corporation nor any other form of recapitalization or reorganization affecting the Corporation will be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 5(d). 5(e). VOTING RIGHTS. Except as otherwise may be required herein or by the FBCA, the holders of the Series A Preferred will not be entitled to notice of any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation and will not be entitled to vote, together with any other shareholders or as a separate class, on any matter to be voted on by the Corporation's shareholders. 5(f). APPROVAL BY SERIES A PREFERRED. So long as any Series A Preferred remains outstanding, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred, the Corporation will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to (i) issue any Senior Securities or Pari Passu Securities; (ii) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any Pari Passu Securities or Junior Securities; (iii) sell, transfer, assign or dispose of or lease to one or more Affiliates in one or more related series of transactions or take any similar action with respect to a majority of the Corporation's assets; or (iv) directly or indirectly pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution upon any Pari Passu Securities or any Junior Securities. 5(g). CONVERSION RIGHTS. Each share of Series A Preferred shall be convertible by the holder thereof at any time into a number of shares of voting or nonvoting Common Stock or in any combination thereof as selected by the holder equal to the Liquidation Value of such share plus, without duplication, all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon divided by 25, with such number being subject to such adjustments to account for any increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock that results from a stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger or other event affecting the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Conversion Shares"), which conversion shall be effective no later than one business day after a notice of conversion is delivered by the holder thereof to the Corporation. 5(h). REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER. The Corporation will keep at its principal office a register for the registration of Series A Preferred. Upon the surrender of any certificate representing Series A Preferred at such place, the Corporation will, at the request of the record holder of such certificate, execute and deliver (at the Corporation's expense) a new certificate or certificates in exchange therefor representing in the aggregate the number of Shares represented by the 9 16 surrendered certificate. Each such new certificate will be registered in such name and will represent such number of Shares as is requested by the holder of the surrendered certificate and will be substantially identical in form to the surrendered certificate, and dividends will accrue on the Series A Preferred represented by such new certificate from the date to which dividends have been fully paid on such Series A Preferred represented by the surrendered certificate. 5(i). REPLACEMENT. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (provided that an affidavit of the registered holder will be satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing Share(s), and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (provided that if the holder is a financial institution or other institutional investor its own agreement will be satisfactory), or, in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Corporation will (at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the number of Shares of such Series represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate, and dividends will accrue on the Series A Preferred represented by such new certificate from the date to which dividends have been fully paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate. 5(j). AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.
