TERMS OF PREFERRED STOCK

Section 1. Designation, Amount and Par Value. The series of preferred stock shall be designated as its SERIES B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) and the number of shares so designated shall be 3,857 (which shall not be subject to increase without the consent of all of the holders of the Preferred Stock (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”)). Each share of Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.001 per share and a stated value equal to $1,000 (the “Stated Value”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given such terms in Section 8 hereof.

Section 2. Dividends.

(a) Holders shall be entitled to receive and the Corporation shall pay, cumulative dividends at the rate per share (as a percentage of the Stated Value per share) of 8% per annum (subject to increase pursuant to Section 7(a)) payable quarterly on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1, beginning with December 31, 2006, the first such date after the Original Issue Date, and on any Conversion Date or redemption date pursuant to the terms hereunder (except that, if such date is not a Trading Day, the payment date shall be the next succeeding Trading Day)(“Dividend Payment Date”). The form of dividend payments to each Holder shall be made in the following order: (i) if funds are legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have not been met, in cash only, (ii) if funds are legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have been met, at the sole election of the Corporation, in cash or shares of Common Stock which shall be valued solely for such purpose at 80% of the average of the 5 VWAPs immediately prior to the Dividend Payment Date; (iii) if funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have been met, in shares of Common Stock which shall be valued at 80% of the average of the 5 VWAPs immediately prior to the Dividend Payment Date; (iv) if funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions relating to registration have been waived by such Holder, as to such Holder only, in unregistered shares of Common Stock which shall be valued at 80% of the average of the 5 VWAPs immediately prior to the Dividend Payment Date; and (v) if funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have not been met, then, at the election of such Holder, such dividends shall accrue to the next Dividend Payment Date or shall be accreted to the outstanding Stated Value. The Holders shall have the same rights and remedies with respect to the delivery of any such shares as if such shares were being issued pursuant to Section 5. On the Closing Date the Corporation shall have notified the Holders whether or not it may lawfully pay cash dividends. The Corporation shall promptly notify the Holders at any time the Corporation shall become able or unable, as the case may be, to lawfully pay cash dividends. If at any time the Corporation has the right to pay dividends in cash or Common Stock, the Corporation must provide the Holder with at least 20 Trading Days’ notice of its election to pay a regularly scheduled dividend in Common Stock. Dividends on the Preferred Stock shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, shall accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date, and shall be deemed to accrue from such date whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Corporation pays dividends partially in cash and partially in shares, then such payment shall be distributed ratably among the Holders based upon the number of shares of Preferred Stock held by each Holder. Any dividends, whether paid in cash or shares, that are not paid within three Trading Days following a Dividend Payment Date shall continue to accrue and shall entail a late fee, which must be paid in cash, at the rate of 18% per annum or the lesser rate permitted by applicable law (such fees to accrue daily, from the Dividend Payment Date through and including the date of payment).

(b) So long as any Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary thereof shall redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any Junior Securities. So long as any Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary thereof shall directly or indirectly pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution (other than a dividend or distribution described in Section 5 or dividends due and paid in the ordinary course on preferred stock of the Corporation at such times when the Corporation is in compliance with its payment and other obligations hereunder) upon, nor shall any distribution be made in respect of, any Junior Securities so long as any dividends due on the Preferred Stock remain unpaid, nor shall any monies be set aside for or applied to the purchase or redemption (through a sinking fund or otherwise) of any Junior Securities or shares pari passu with the Preferred Stock.

(c) The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that the capital of the Corporation in respect of the Preferred Stock and any future issuances of the Corporation’s capital stock shall be equal to the aggregate par value of such Preferred Stock or capital stock, as the case may be, and that, on or after the date of the Purchase Agreement, it shall not increase the capital of the Corporation with respect to any shares of the Corporation’s capital stock issued and outstanding on such date. The Corporation also acknowledges and agrees that it shall not create any special reserves under the General Corporation Law of Nevada without the prior written consent of each Holder.

Section 3. Voting Rights. 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 Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of a majority-in-interest of the Holders of the shares of the Preferred Stock then outstanding, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate of Designation, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation (as defined in Section 4) senior to or otherwise pari passu with the Preferred Stock, (c) amend its articles of incorporation or other charter documents so as to affect adversely any rights of the Holders, (d) increase the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock, or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.

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

Section 5.  Conversion.

(a)    (i) Conversions at Option of Holder. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible into that number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 5(a)(ii) and (iii)) determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Preferred Stock by the Set Price, at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time from and after the Original Issue Date. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the Holder delivers such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation by facsimile (the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error.

(ii) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Preferred Stock, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Preferred Stock to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates), as set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock Outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted Stated Value of Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 5(a)(ii), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 5(a)(ii) applies, the determination of whether the Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which shares of Preferred Stock is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the shares of Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder) and which shares of the Preferred Stock is convertible, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitations. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this Section 5(a)(ii), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in the most recent of the following: (A) the Corporation’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (C) any other notice by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Corporation shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including the Preferred Stock, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The provisions of this Section 5(a)(ii) may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Corporation, and the provisions of this Section 5(a)(ii) shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).

(b)       (i) Not later than three Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates which, after the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those required by Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock, and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends (if the Corporation has elected or is required to pay accrued dividends in cash). After the Effective Date, the Corporation shall, upon request of the Holder, deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Corporation shall immediately return the certificates representing the shares of Preferred Stock tendered for conversion.

(ii) The Corporation’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion and redemption of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of the Stated Value of its Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with the Holder of has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless, an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Preferred Stock shall have been sought and obtained and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the Stated Value of Preferred Stock outstanding, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of an injunction precluding the same, the Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Corporation fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 5(b)(i) by the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Corporation shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $5,000 of Stated Value of Preferred Stock being converted, $50 per Trading Day (increasing to $100 per Trading Day after 3 Trading Days and increasing to $200 per Trading Day 6 Trading Days after such damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Corporation’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

(iii) If the Corporation fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 5(b)(i) by a Share Delivery Date, and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Corporation shall pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Preferred Stock with respect to which the aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation is $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Corporation shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Corporation. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Corporation’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(c)        (i) The conversion price for each share of Preferred Stock shall equal $1.00 (the “Set Price”), subject to adjustment below.

(ii) if the Corporation, at any time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock, provided the terms of such issuance of interest or dividends, as the case may be, is not amended after the Original Issue Date to an effective conversion price less than the then Set Price, (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Set Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

(iii) if the Corporation, at any time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the VWAP at the record date mentioned below, then the Set Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock Outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock Outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Corporation in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.
 
 

 
 
7

 


(iv) if the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof at any time while any of the Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall offer, sell, grant any option or warrant to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to reprice its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or any equity or equity equivalent securities (including any equity, debt or other instrument that is at any time over the life thereof convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) (collectively, “Common Stock Equivalents”) entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the Set Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”), as adjusted hereunder (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a effective price per share which is less than the Set Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Set Price), then the Set Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Corporation shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Business Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Corporation provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 7(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.

(v) if the Corporation, at any time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to Section 5(c)(iii), then in each such case the Set Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Set Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holders of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

 
8

 


(vi) All calculations under this Section 5(c) shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 5(c), the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be outstanding (the “Common Stock Outstanding”) as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no adjustment shall be made hereunder in connection with an Exempt Issuance.

(viii) Whenever the Set Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section the Corporation shall promptly mail to each Holder, a notice setting forth the Set Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. If the Corporation issues a variable rate security, despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the Corporation shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be converted or exercised in the case of a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), or the lowest possible adjustment price in the case of an MFN Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

Section 6. Force Conversion. The Corporation shall have the following rights to force a conversion of the Preferred Stock if after the Effective Date, each of the Closing Prices for any 20 consecutive Trading Days (such 20 day period commencing only after the later of the Effective Date, such period the “Threshold Period”)) exceeds 250% of the then Conversion Price, the Corporation may, within 1 Trading Day of the end of any such Threshold Period, deliver a notice to the Holder (a “Forced Conversion Notice” and the date such notice is received by the Holder, the “Forced Conversion Notice Date”) to cause the Holder to immediately convert all or part of the then outstanding Stated Value amount of Preferred Stocks. The Corporation may only effect a Forced Conversion Notice if all of the Equity Conditions are met through the applicable Threshold Period until the date of the applicable Forced Conversion and through and including the date such shares of Common Stock are issued to the Holder. Any Forced Conversion shall be applied ratably to all Holders based on their initial purchases of Preferred Stocks pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. For purposes of clarification, a Forced Conversion shall be subject to all of the provisions of Section 5, including, without limitation, the provision requiring payment of liquidated damages and limitations on conversions.

Section 7. Redemption Upon Triggering Events.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, each Holder shall (in addition to all other rights it may have hereunder or under applicable law) have the right, exercisable at the sole option of such Holder, to require the Corporation to, (i) with respect to the Triggering Events set forth in Sections 7(b)(iii), (v), (vii), (ix), (x)(as to voluntary filings only) and (xii)), redeem all of the Preferred Stock then held by such Holder for a redemption price, in cash, equal to the Triggering Redemption Amount; or, (ii) at the option of the Holder and with respect to the Triggering Events set forth in Sections 7(b)(i), (ii), (iv), (vi), (viii), (x)(as to involuntary filings only) and (xi), either (A) redeem all of the Preferred Stock then held by such Holder for a redemption price, in shares of Common Stock, equal to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Triggering Redemption Amount divided by 75% of the average of the 10 VWAPs immediately prior to the date of election hereunder or (B) increase the dividend on all of the outstanding Preferred Stock held by such Holder to equal 18% per annum thereafter. The Triggering Redemption Amount, in cash or in shares, if the Corporation elects clauses (i) or (ii)(B) above, shall be due and payable or issuable, as the case may be, within 5 Trading Days of the date on which the notice for the payment therefor is provided by a Holder (the “Triggering Redemption Payment Date”). If the Corporation fails to pay the Triggering Redemption Amount hereunder in full pursuant to this Section on the date such amount is due in accordance with this Section (whether in cash or shares of Common Stock), the Corporation will pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum (or such lesser amount permitted by applicable law), accruing daily from such date until the Triggering Redemption Amount, plus all such interest thereon, is paid in full. For purposes of this Section, a share of Preferred Stock is outstanding until such date as the Holder shall have received Conversion Shares upon a conversion (or attempted conversion) thereof that meets the requirements hereof or has been paid the Triggering Redemption Amount plus all accrued but unpaid dividends and all accrued but unpaid liquidated damages in cash.

(b) “Triggering Event” means any one or more of the following events (whatever the reason and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(i) the failure of a Conversion Shares Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the 165th day after the Original Issue Date;

(ii) if, during the Effectiveness Period, the effectiveness of the Conversion Shares Registration Statement lapses for any reason for more than an aggregate of 25 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) during any 12 month period, or the Holder shall not be permitted to resell Registrable Securities under the Conversion Shares Registration Statement for more than an aggregate of 25 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) during any 12 month period;
 

 
 
10

 


(iii) the Corporation shall fail to deliver certificates representing Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder that comply with the provisions hereof prior to the 5th Trading Day after such shares are required to be delivered hereunder, or the Corporation shall provide written notice to any Holder, including by way of public announcement, at any time, of its intention not to comply with requests for conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof;

(iv) one of the Events (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) described in subsections (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 2(c) of the Registration Rights Agreement shall not have been cured to the satisfaction of the Holders prior to the expiration of 30 days from the Event Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) relating thereto (other than an Event resulting from a failure of a Conversion Shares Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the 145th day after the Original Issue Date, which shall be covered by Section 7(b)(i));

(v) the Corporation shall fail for any reason to pay in full the amount of cash due pursuant to a Buy-In within 5 days after notice therefor is delivered hereunder or shall fail to pay all amounts owed on account of an Event within five days of the date due;

(vi)  the Corporation shall fail to have available a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to issue to such Holder upon a conversion hereunder;

(vii)  the Corporation shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant, agreement or warranty contained in, or otherwise commit any breach of the Transaction Documents, and such failure or breach shall not, if subject to the possibility of a cure by the Corporation, have been remedied within 30 calendar days after the date on which written notice of such failure or breach shall have been given;

(viii) any breach of the agreements delivered to the initial Holders at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(vi) of the Purchase Agreement;

(ix) the Corporation shall redeem more than a de minimis number of Junior Securities;
 
(x) the Corporation shall be party to a Change of Control Transaction;

Section 10. Miscellaneous.

(b) The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holders, not less than such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

(c) Upon a conversion hereunder the Corporation shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the VWAP at such time.

(e) To effect conversions or redemptions, as the case may be, of shares of Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares of Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case the Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such share of Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. Shares of Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and may not be reissued.
