WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Board of Directors, pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, to authorize and fix the terms of a series of Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting such series;

        NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:

Section 1.Designation and Authorized Shares.  The Corporation shall be authorized to issue three million two hundred and eighty four thousand three hundred and ninety six (3,284,396) shares of Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”).

Section 2.Stated Value.  Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall have a stated value of $1.50 per share (the “Stated Value”).

Section 3.Liquidation.

(a)Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, for each share thereof, out of assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, a preferential amount in cash equal to (and not more than) the Stated Value.  All preferential amounts to be paid to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall be paid before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any assets of the Corporation to the holders of (i) any other class or series of capital stock and (ii) the Corporation's Common Stock.  If upon any such distribution the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock (or the holders of any class or series of capital stock ranking on a parity with the  Series C Preferred Stock as to distributions in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation) the full amounts to which they shall be entitled, such holders shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in accordance with the sums which would be payable on such distribution if all sums payable thereon were paid in full.

(b)Any distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, shall be made in cash to the extent possible.  Whenever any such distribution shall be paid in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

Section 4.Conversion.

(a)Conversion Right.Each holder of Series C Preferred Stock may, from time to time, convert any or all of such holder’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at a per share conversion price of $0.50 (the “Conversion Price”).

(b)Conversion Procedure.  In order to exercise the conversion privilege under Section 4, the holder of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be converted shall give written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to the Corporation at its principal office that such holder elects to convert such shares of Series C Preferred Stock or a specified portion thereof into shares of Common Stock as set forth in such notice (such date of conversion, the “Conversion Effective Date”).  At such time as the certificate or certificates representing the Series C Preferred Stock which has been converted are surrendered to the Corporation, the Corporation shall issue and deliver a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock determined pursuant to Section 4.  In case of conversion under Section 4 of only a part of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered to the Corporation, the Corporation shall issue and deliver a new certificate for the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock which have not been converted.  Until such time as the certificate or certificates representing Series C Preferred Stock which has been converted are surrendered to the Corporation and a certificate or certificates representing the Common Stock into which such Series C Preferred Stock has been converted have been issued and delivered, the certificate or certificates representing the Series C Preferred Stock which have been converted shall represent the shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series C Preferred Stock have been converted.  The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock.

Section 5.Other Provisions.

(a)Reservation of Common Stock.  The Corporation shall at all times reserve from its authorized Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for conversion of all Series C Preferred Stock from time to time outstanding.

(b)Record Holders.  The Corporation and its transfer agent, if any, for the Series C Preferred Stock may deem and treat the record holder of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock as reflected on the books and records of the Corporation as the sole true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor any such transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 6.Restriction and Limitations.  Except as expressly provided herein or as required by law so long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, take any action which would adversely and materially affect any of the preferences, limitations or relative rights of the Series C Preferred Stock.

Section 7.Certain Adjustments.

(a)Price Protection. Other than in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights equal to or greater than those granted to the holder of the Series C Preferred Stock, (ii) the Corporation’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights equal to or greater than those granted to the holder of the Series C Preferred Stock, (iii) the Corporation’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, and consultants, pursuant to plans that have been approved by a majority of the board of directors or in existence as such plans are constituted on the Effective Date, (iv) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Effective Date on the terms in effect on the Effective Date including the permissible amendment thereof,  (v) the Corporation’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to consultants and service providers, and (vi) any and all securities required to be assumed by the Corporation by the terms thereof as a result of any of the foregoing even if issued by a predecessor acquired in connection with a business combination, merger or share exchange (collectively, the foregoing (i) through (vi) are “Excepted Issuances”), if at any time within twenty-four (24) months from the date hereof, the Corporation shall agree to or issue (the “Lower Price Issuance”) any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than the Conversion Price of the Series C Preferred Stock then in effect, without the consent of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, then the Conversion Price shall automatically be reduced to such other lower price provided however, in no event shall the Conversion Price be reduced pursuant to this Section 5(a) to below $0.30 per share.  Common Stock issued or issuable by the Corporation for no consideration or for consideration that cannot be determined at the time of issue will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.0001 per share of Common Stock.  Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other agreement to the contrary, the Corporation shall only be required to make a single adjustment with respect to any Lower Price Issuance, regardless of the existence of multiple basis therefore.

2

(b)Stock Dividends and Stock Splits.  If the Corporation, at any time while the Series C 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 (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation pursuant to the Series C Preferred Stock), (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, each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall receive such consideration as if such number of shares of Series C Preferred had been, immediately prior to such foregoing dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification, the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which it could convert at such time.  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 re-classification.

(c)Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while the Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, (A) the Corporation effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another person, (B) the Corporation effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Corporation effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock, the Holders shall have the right to receive, for each share of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of such shares of Common Stock.
