III. Liquidation and Redemption Rights

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holder of Series A Preferred shall be entitled to receive, on parity with the holders the Corporation’s common stock (“Common Stock”), assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation. The Series A Preferred shall not have any priority or preference with respect to any distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation. Neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with another corporation or other entity nor a sale, transfer, lease or exchange of all or part of the Corporation's assets will be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation for purposes of this Article III.

IV. CANCELLATION

Upon the Corporation listing its securities on a national exchange, including without limitation, the NASDAQ Capital Market or New York Stock Exchange MKT, the Series A Preferred will automatically be cancelled and the holder will no longer possess any rights, preferences, privileges or powers previously conferred by the Series A Preferred.

V. RANK

All shares of the Series A Preferred shall rank (i) senior to the Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, and any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created, (ii) pari passu with any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created and specifically ranking, by its terms, on par with the Series A Preferred and (iii) junior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created specifically ranking, by its terms, senior to the Series A Preferred, in each case as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.

VI. VOTING RIGHTS

Each one (1) share of the Series A Preferred shall have voting rights equal to (x) the total issued and outstanding Common Stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote divided by (y) forty nine one-hundredths (0.49) minus (z) the total issued and outstanding Common Stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the total issued and outstanding Common Stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote is 5,000,000, the voting rights of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be equal to 5,204,082 (e.g. (5,000,000 / 0.49) – 5,000,000 = 5,204,082).

VIII. MISCELLANEOUS

A. Status of Redeemed Stock: In case any shares of Series A Preferred shall be redeemed or otherwise reacquired, the shares so redeemed or reacquired shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, and shall no longer be designated as Series A Preferred.
