SECTION 4. VOTING.

 

4.1 Voting Rights. The Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have the voting rights as described in this Section 4 or as required by law. For so long as any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock remain issued and outstanding, the Holders thereof, voting separately as a class, shall have the right to vote on all shareholder matters (including, but not limited to at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company and upon any action taken by stockholders of the Company with or without a meeting) equal to fifty-one percent (51%) of the total vote. For example, if there are 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding at the time of a shareholder vote, the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, will have the right to vote an aggregate of 10,400 shares, out of a total number of 20,400 shares voting. For the sake of clarity and in an abundance of caution, the total voting shares outstanding at the time of any and all shareholder votes (i.e., the total shares eligible to vote on any and all shareholder matters) shall be deemed to include (a) the total Common Stock shares outstanding; (b) the voting rights applicable to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, other than the Series A Preferred Stock, if any; and (c) the voting rights attributable to the Series A Preferred Stock, as described herein, whether such Series A Preferred Stock shares are voted or not.

 

4.2 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. So long as the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of the Holders of at least 66‑2/3% of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class (i) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company so as to adversely affect the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of the Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) effect any reclassification of the Series A Preferred Stock, or (iii) designate any additional series of preferred stock, the designation of which adversely effects the rights, privileges, preferences or limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth herein.

 

4.3 Amendment of Rights of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of the Holders of at least 66‑2/3% of all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Certificate of Designation, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company may, by any means authorized by law and without any vote of the Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, make technical, corrective, administrative or similar changes in this Certificate of Designation that do not, individually or in the aggregate, adversely affect the rights or preferences of the Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

SECTION 5. CONVERSION RIGHTS. The shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have no conversion rights.

 

SECTION 6. REDEMPTION RIGHTS. The Company shall have the option in its sole discretion, with the unanimous consent or approval of all members of the then Board of Directors of the Company, with the written consent of a majority in interest of the Holders of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, to redeem any and all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, by paying the Holders of such Series A Preferred Stock a redemption price of $1.00 per share for such Series A Preferred Stock shares redeemed (the “Redemption Amount”, each a “Redemption”).

(a) Effect of Redemption. The payment by the Company to the Holder (at such Holder’s address of record) of the Redemption Amount in connection with a Redemption, which shall be effective three (3) business days after the date the Company mails the Redemption Amount to the Holder (the “Redemption Date” and a “Redemption Delivery”), shall fully discharge the Company from any and all further obligations under the Series A Preferred Stock and shall automatically, and without any required action by the Company or the Holder (including the requirement that the Holder provide the Company or the Company’s transfer agent the Series A Preferred Stock Certificates evidencing such Series A Preferred Stock), result in the cancellation, termination and invalidation of any outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock Certificates held by Holder or his, her or its assigns.

 

(b) Further Actions Following Redemption. The Company and/or the Company’s Transfer Agent shall be authorized to take whatever action necessary, if any, following the payment of the Redemption Amount, to reflect the cancellation of the Series A Preferred Stock subject to the Redemption, which shall not require the approval and/or consent of any Holder, and provided that by agreeing to the terms and conditions of this Certificate of Designations and the acceptance of the Series A Preferred Stock, each Holder hereby agrees to release the Company and the Company’s Transfer Agent from any and all liability whatsoever in connection with the cancellation of the Series A Preferred Stock following a valid Redemption, regardless of the return to the Company or the Transfer Agent of any certificates representing such Series A Preferred Stock, which as stated above, shall be automatically cancelled upon the payment of the Redemption Amount (a “Redemption Cancellation”).

  

(c) Further Redemption Assurances. Notwithstanding the above, each Holder, by accepting such Series A Preferred Stock Certificates hereby covenants that it will, whenever and as reasonably requested by the Company and the Transfer Agent, at its sole cost and expense, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such other and further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, confirmations, powers of attorney and any instruments of further assurance, approvals and consents as the Company or the Transfer Agent may reasonably require in order to complete, insure and perfect a Redemption Cancellation, if such may be reasonably required by the Company and/or the Company’s Transfer Agent.

 

(d) Additional Redemption Procedures. In the event that any Redemption Delivery is unsuccessful, such Redemption Amount shall be held by the Company in trust and such Redemption Amount shall be released to such Holder upon reasonable evidence to the Company or the Transfer Agent that such Holder is the legal owner of such Redemption Amount, provided that the Holder’s failure to accept such Redemption Amount and/or the Company’s inability to affect a Redemption Delivery shall in no event effect the validity of the Redemption Cancellation. Furthermore, the Holder shall be due no interest on the Redemption Amount while being held by the Company in trust and any and all interest, if any, which shall accrue on such amount shall be the sole property of the Company.

SECTION 8. PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS. Subject to the rights of Series A Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, this Company shall not without first obtaining the approval (by written consent, as provided by law) of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a class:

 

(a) Issue any additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock after the original issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock;

(e) Alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the shares of such series, including the rights set forth in this Certificate of Designations.

 

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company may, by any means authorized by law and without any vote of the Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, make technical, corrective, administrative or similar changes in this Certificate of Designation that do not, individually or in the aggregate, adversely affect the rights or preferences of the Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock.
