SERIES A TERMS

Section 1.                      Designation, Amount and Par Value.  The series of preferred stock shall be designated as the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"), and the number of shares so designated and authorized shall be Four Million (4,000,000).  Each share of Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.0001 per share and a stated value of $10.00 per share (the "Stated Value").

Section 2.                      Dividends.  Holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, either out of funds legally available therefor or through the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”), and the Company shall accrue, quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year, commencing on the first anniversary of the Original Issue Date (the “Dividend Commencement Date”) cumulative dividends on the Preferred Stock at the rate per share (as a percentage of the Stated Value per share) equa l to eight percent (8%) per annum, payable in shares of Common Stock of the Company at a rate of $1.00 per share of common stock.  (In other words, if the amount of accrued interest is $5,000, the Company shall issue 5,000 shares of common stock.)  Dividends shall not accrue during the twelve months following the purchase of the Preferred Stock (the “Initial Conversion Period”), and shall begin to accrue on the Dividend Commencement Date and shall accrue until such time as the Preferred Stock has been converted into debt (as described immediately below) (the “Subsequent Conversion Period”), unless such Preferred Stock has been converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, as set forth below.

Section 3.                      Voting Rights; Protective Provisions.  Except as otherwise provided herein and as otherwise required by law, the Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights.  However, so long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not and shall cause its subsidiaries not to, without the affirmative vote of each of the holders of the Preferred Stock then outstanding, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Preferred Stock, or (b) alter or amend this Certificate of Designation.

Section 4.                      Liquidation.  Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a "Liquidation"), the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company, whether such assets are capital or surplus, for each share of Preferred Stock an amount equal to the Stated Value plus all accrued but unpaid dividends per share, whether declared or not, and all other amounts in respect thereof (including liquidated damages, if any) then due and payable before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities, and if the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the holders of Preferred Stock shall be distributed among the holders of Preferred Stock ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.  The Company shall mail written notice of any such Liquidation, not less than 45 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of Preferred Stock.

 
 

 
 
Section 5.                      Conversion.

(a)(i)  Automatic Conversion into Common Stock.  If, at any time during the twelve months following the purchase of the Preferred Stock (the “Initial Conversion Period”), the Company’s common stock begins trading on a stock exchange, market, or other trading facility, the issued and outstanding Preferred Stock will immediately convert, on a one (1) share of Preferred Stock for ten (10) shares of common stock basis, into shares of common stock.

(ii)  Following the Initial Conversion Period and until such time as the Preferred Stock has been converted into debt (as described immediately below) (the “Subsequent Conversion Period”), if the Company’s common stock begins trading on a stock exchange, market, or other trading facility, the issued and outstanding Preferred Stock will immediately convert, on a one (1) share of Preferred Stock for ten (10) one shares of common stock basis, into shares of common stock.

(b)(i)  Optional Conversion into Debt Instrument.  At any time following the Initial Conversion Period, provided that Company’s common stock is not trading on a stock exchange, market, or other trading facility resulting in the automatic conversion as described above, the Holder of the Preferred Stock shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all, but not less than all, of the shares of Preferred Stock into a debt obligation (the “Debt Amount”) of the Company (the “Debt Conversion”).  If the Holder of the Preferred Stock chooses to take advantage of the Debt Conversion, the Company will pay interest on the principal amount of the debt at a rate of 8%, payable quarterly in arrears, by issuing shares of the Company’s common stock at a conve rsion/purchase rate of $1.00 per common share.

(ii)  If the Investor chooses to take advantage of the Debt Conversion, the Investor shall have the right to receive from the Company twenty five percent (25%) of the Company’s Net Income After Taxes (as defined in the Company’s annual audited financial statements) until the full amount of the Debt Amount has been repaid or until the Company’s common stock begins trading on a stock exchange, market, or other trading facility, at which time the remaining outstanding Debt Amount shall automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per common share.
 
(c)
Certain Conversion Restrictions and Terms.
 
(i)
Not later than ten (10) Trading Days after an Automatic Conversion as set forth above, the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the holder (i) a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being issued upon the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock,  and (ii) if applicable, one or more certificates representing such number of shares of Common Stock as are issuable on account of accrued dividends in such number as determined in accordance with Section 2.

 
 

 
 
 
(ii)
The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock on conversion of Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the holders thereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the holder of such shares of Preferred Stock so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

 
(iii)
Shares of Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock shall be canceled and shall have the status of authorized but unissued shares of undesignated preferred stock.
