ARTICLE VII
 
Section 7.1 Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise subject to or involved in any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or an officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted or required by the DGCL and any other applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith (“Indemnifiable Losses”); provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 7.4 of this Article VII with respect to Proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 7.1 in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.
 
Section 7.2 Right to Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in Section 7.1 of this Article VII shall include the right to advancement by the Corporation of any and all expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition (an “Advancement of Expenses”); provided, however, that, if the DGCL so requires, an Advancement of Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such Indemnitee, including without limitation service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made pursuant to this Section 7.2 only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (an “Undertaking”), by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay, without interest, all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a “Final Adjudication”) that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 7.2. An Indemnitee’s right to an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to this Section 7.2 is not subject to the satisfaction of any standard of conduct and is not conditioned upon any prior determination that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under Section 7.1 of this Article VII with respect to the related Proceeding or the absence of any prior determination to the contrary.
 
Section 7.3 Contract Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses conferred in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of this Article VII shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.

Section 7.4 Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 of this Article VII is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 calendar days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an Advancement of Expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be 20 calendar days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to the fullest extent permitted or required by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader reimbursements of prosecution or defense expenses than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an Advancement of Expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses, without interest, upon a Final Adjudication that, the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or a committee thereof, its stockholders or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or a committee thereof, its stockholders or independent legal counsel) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by an Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an Advancement of Expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an Advancement of Expenses hereunder pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such Advancement of Expenses, shall be on the Corporation.
 
Section 7.5 Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses conferred in this Article VII shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Nothing contained in this Article VII shall limit or otherwise affect any such other right or the Corporation’s power to confer any such other right.
 
Section 7.6 Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
 
 
 
-6-
 
 
Section 7.7 No Duplication of Payments. The Corporation shall not be liable under this Article VII to make any payment to an Indemnitee in respect of any Indemnifiable Losses to the extent that the Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (net of any expenses incurred in connection therewith and any repayment by the Indemnitee made with respect thereto) under any insurance policy or from any other source in respect of such Indemnifiable Losses.
 
ARTICLE VIII
 
From time to time any of the provisions of this certificate of incorporation may be amended, altered, or repealed and other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in force may be added or inserted in the manner and at the time prescribed by said laws, and all rights at any time conferred upon the stockholders of the Corporation by this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation are granted subject to the provisions of this Article VIII.

3. Dividends and Distributions.
 
(A) Holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company legally available for that purpose, dividends at the Dividend Rate to be paid in accordance with the terms of this Section 3. Such dividends shall be fully cumulative from the Issue Date, shall accumulate regardless of whether the Company earns a profit and shall be payable in arrears, when and as declared by the Board (or a duly appointed committee of directors), on January 1 of each year, (each such date being herein referred to as a “Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on January 1, 2008. The period from the Issue Date to January 1, 2008, and each annual period between consecutive Dividend Payment Dates shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Dividend Period.” The dividend for any Dividend Period for any share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock that is not outstanding on every calendar day of the Dividend Period shall be prorated based on the number of calendar days such share was outstanding during the period. Each such dividend shall be paid to the Holders of record of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock as their names appear on the share register of the Company on the Dividend Payment Date. Dividends on account of arrears for any past Dividend Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any Dividend Payment Date (including, without limitation, for purposes of computing the Stated Value of any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock in connection with the conversion or redemption thereof or any Liquidation of the Company), to Holders of record on a date designated by the Board, not exceeding thirty (30) calendar days preceding the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board. For purposes of determining the amount of dividends accrued as of the first Dividend Payment Date and as of any date that is not a Dividend Payment Date, such amount shall be calculated on the basis of the Dividend Rate for the actual number of calendar days elapsed from and excluding the Issue Date (in case of the first Dividend Payment Date and any date prior to the first Dividend Payment Date) or the last preceding Dividend Payment Date (in case of any other date) to the date as of which such determination is to be made, based on a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year.
 
 
 
-13-
 
 
(B) Subject to the following proviso, dividends payable on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be paid, at the option of the Holder, in cash or by the issuance of Common Stock provided, however, that the Company may elect to make any payment of dividends by the issuance of Registered Common Stock on any Dividend Payment Date with 10 days’ prior written notice to the Holder, if the Company is a Qualified Public Company on the Dividend Payment Date. The number of shares of Registered Common Stock to be issued shall be determined by dividing the cash amount of the dividend otherwise payable by the Prevailing Price calculated as of such Dividend Payment Date, provided, however, except at the Company’s option, in no event shall such price be less than the price set on the Issue Date; provided, further, if the Company shall combine, subdivide or reclassify its Common Stock, or shall declare any dividend payable in shares of its Common Stock, or shall take any other action of a similar nature affecting such shares, the number of shares of Registered Common Stock to be issued shall be adjusted to the extent appropriate to reflect such event, including appropriate adjustments to account for any such event that occurs during the period used for calculating such Prevailing Price. The number of shares of Registered Common Stock to be issued as a dividend shall be rounded to the nearest whole share after aggregating all shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock owned by a Holder.
 
(C)  If, on any Dividend Payment Date, the Company fails to pay dividends, then until the dividends that were scheduled to be paid on such date are paid, such dividends shall cumulate, but shall not accrue additional dividends. Unpaid dividends for any period less than a full Dividend Period shall cumulate on a day to day basis and shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year.
 
(D) So long as any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, (i) the Company, except for the payment of dividends or other cash distributions under a joint venture agreement or other strategic alliance with respect to which the Company and/or a Subsidiary is a party, shall not and shall not allow its Subsidiaries to declare or pay any dividend whatsoever, whether in cash, property or otherwise, set aside any cash or property for the payment of dividends, or make any other distribution on any Parity Securities, except for dividends paid to the Company or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries and dividends paid on the Series A Preferred Shares or (ii) the Company shall not and shall not allow its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for value or set aside any cash or property for the repurchase or redemption of any Junior Securities or Parity Securities, unless in each such case all dividends to which the Holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall have been entitled to receive for all previous Dividend Periods shall have been paid.

From and after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company may require the Holders to convert, on a pro rata basis as among the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Shares, shares of Series A-1 Preferred Shares held by such holders on any of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year by delivering a conversion notice to the Holders, at least ten (10) days prior to such conversion and substantially in the form as provided by the Company (a “Company Conversion Notice”), provided that (x) the average of the Daily Market Prices of the Common Stock for the ninety (90) calendar days ended immediately prior to such Conversion Notice is an amount greater than two hundred twenty percent (220%) of the Conversion Price or (y) after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Prevailing Price shall be an amount greater than the Issue Date Price.

(C)
Five Year Call Right. From and after the fifth anniversary of the date on which the Registration Requirement has been satisfied, the Company may from time-to-time issue a call notice to the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares (the “Call Notice”). Such Call Notice, at the Company’s discretion, may be for all or a portion of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares. On or before the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date of the Call Notice, the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares shall deliver to the Company, all, or, in the case of a Call Notice concerning a portion of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares, on a pro rata basis as provided in the Call Notice, based on the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Shares held by each holder, Series A-1 Preferred Shares with an aggregate Stated Value equal to the amount designated in the Call Notice. The Company shall promptly thereafter pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount to each such holder equal to the aggregate Stated Value of all such Series A-1 Preferred Shares delivered by such holder.
 
(D)
 The Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall be required hereunder.
 
(E)
The Company will use its best efforts to procure, at its sole expense, the listing of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and shares issuable as dividends hereunder, subject to issuance or notice of issuance, on all stock exchanges, markets, and quotation service on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted, no later than the date on which such Series A-1 Preferred Stock is issued to the Holder and thereafter shall use its best efforts to prevent delisting or removal from quotation of such shares. The Company will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion or redemption of shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involving the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock so converted or redeemed were registered, and no such issue and delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid.
 
(F)
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion or redemption of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. If any such conversion or redemption would otherwise require the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock, an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the current Daily Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of conversion or redemption shall be paid to the Holder in cash by the Company. If more than one share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion or redemption at one time by or for the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or redemption thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock so surrendered.

(B) Subject to the following proviso, dividends payable on the Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be paid, at the option of the Holder, in cash or by the issuance of Common Stock provided, however, that the Company may elect to make any payment of dividends by the issuance of Registered Common Stock on any Dividend Payment Date with 10 days’ prior written notice to the Holder, if the Company is a Qualified Public Company on the Dividend Payment Date. The number of shares of Registered Common Stock to be issued shall be determined by dividing the cash amount of the dividend otherwise payable by the Prevailing Price calculated as of such Dividend Payment Date, provided, however, except at the Company’s option, in no event shall such price be less than the price set on the Issue Date; provided, further, if the Company shall combine, subdivide or reclassify its Common Stock, or shall declare any dividend payable in shares of its Common Stock, or shall take any other action of a similar nature affecting such shares, the number of shares of Registered Common Stock to be issued shall be adjusted to the extent appropriate to reflect such event, including appropriate adjustments to account for any such event that occurs during the period used for calculating such Prevailing Price. The number of shares of Registered Common Stock to be issued as a dividend shall be rounded to the nearest whole share after aggregating all shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock owned by a Holder.
 
(C)  If, on any Dividend Payment Date, the Company fails to pay dividends, then until the dividends that were scheduled to be paid on such date are paid, such dividends shall cumulate, but shall not accrue additional dividends. Unpaid dividends for any period less than a full Dividend Period shall cumulate on a day to day basis and shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year.
 
(D) So long as any shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, (i) the Company, except for the payment of dividends or other cash distributions under a joint venture agreement or other strategic alliance with respect to which the Company and/or a Subsidiary is a party, shall not and shall not allow its Subsidiaries to declare or pay any dividend whatsoever, whether in cash, property or otherwise, set aside any cash or property for the payment of dividends, or make any other distribution on any Parity Securities, except for dividends paid to the Company or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries and dividends paid on the Series A Preferred Shares or (ii) the Company shall not and shall not allow its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for value or set aside any cash or property for the repurchase or redemption of any Junior Securities or Parity Securities, unless in each such case all dividends to which the Holders of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall have been entitled to receive for all previous Dividend Periods shall have been paid.
 
(E) Subject to the immediately following sentence, the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any dividend on the Series A-2 Preferred Stock such amounts as the Company is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such dividend under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any other provision of state, local or foreign tax law. In the event the Company or the Holder elects, pursuant to Section 3(B), to pay or be paid, as the case may be, a dividend on the Series A-2 Preferred Stock by issuing Registered Common Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, to a Holder, (i) the Company shall deliver the number of shares of Registered Common Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, that would be delivered to a Holder pursuant to Section 3(B) in the absence of any requirement under applicable law to deduct and withhold any amount with respect to such dividend and (ii) on the Business Day following the Dividend Payment Date, Holder shall transfer to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to what the Company is required under applicable law to deduct and withhold with respect to such dividend. For purposes of determining the withholding amount, the dividend value shall be determined under Section 3(B) hereof.

4. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any Liquidation, after payment or provision for payment by the Company of the debts and other liabilities of the Company and the liquidation preference of any Senior Securities that rank senior to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock with respect to distributions upon Liquidation, each Holder shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash for each share of the then outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Stock held by such Holder equal to the greater of (a) the Stated Value per share to and including the date full payment is tendered to the Holders with respect to such Liquidation, and (b) the amount the Holders would have received if the Holders had converted all outstanding shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock into Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(A) hereof, in each case as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such Liquidation (the “Liquidation Preference”), before any distribution shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities (and any Senior Securities or Parity Securities that, with respect to distributions upon Liquidation, rank junior to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock) upon the Liquidation of the Company. In case the assets of the Company available for payment to the Holders are insufficient to pay the full Liquidation Preference on all outstanding shares of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock and all outstanding shares of Parity Securities and Senior Securities that, with respect to distributions upon Liquidation, are pari passu with the Series A-2 Preferred Stock in the amounts to which the holders of such shares are entitled, then the entire assets of the Company available for payment to the Holders and to the holders of such Parity Securities and Senior Securities shall be distributed ratably among the Holders of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock and the holders of such Parity Securities and Senior Securities, based upon the aggregate amount due on such shares upon Liquidation. Written notice of any Liquidation of the Company, stating a payment date and the place where the distributable amounts shall be payable, shall be given by facsimile and overnight delivery not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the payment date stated therein, to the Holders of record of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, if any, at their respective addresses as the same shall appear on the books of the Company.

-29-
 
 
(i)
General. Shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock are convertible at the option of the Holder thereof at any time, from time to time, in whole or in part, as follows:

C.
Notwithstanding anything in the Certificate to the contrary, if such Holder does not consent to accept unregistered Common Stock, then such Holder’s Notice of Conversion shall be deemed, without any further action, to have been withdrawn. Moreover, in no event, shall any conversion under the Certificate be settled in cash.
 
(ii)
Conversion for stock. Subject to the previous sub-paragraph, such shares of stock shall be converted into that number of shares of Registered Common Stock (or at the sole election of the Holder, unregistered Common Stock) equal to (A) the aggregate Stated Value of such shares divided by (B) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Stock Amount”). It shall be a condition of either the Company or the converting Holder's obligation to close the conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock that such conversion be in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws and any applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, shall have expired or been terminated without litigation having been commenced that is continuing, or threat of litigation having been made that remains unresolved, by the United States Department of Justice or the United States Federal Trade Commission.

-30-
 
 
(iv)
Partial conversion.

(B)
Procedure for Conversion by the Company.
 
(i)
Conversion by the Company. Shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock may be converted by the Company (a “Company Conversion”) in whole or in part for Common Stock as follows
 
A.
From and after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company may require the Holders to convert, on a pro rata basis as among the holders of Series A-2 Preferred Shares, shares of Series A-2 Preferred Shares held by such holders on any of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year by delivering a conversion notice to the Holders, at least ten (10) days prior to such conversion and substantially in the form as provided by the Company (a “Company Conversion Notice”), provided that (x) the average of the Daily Market Prices of the Common Stock for the ninety (90) calendar days ended immediately prior to such Conversion Notice is an amount greater than two hundred twenty percent (220%) of the Conversion Price or (y) after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Prevailing Price shall be an amount greater than the Issue Date Price. The number of Series A Preferred Shares so converted under clause (x) may not exceed the number that would be converted for a quantity of shares of Common Stock greater than eight (8) times the average daily reported volume of trading in the Common Stock on all national securities exchanges, Nasdaq market, service, and/or reported through the AMEX as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (or by such other Person as the Company may select) during the ninety (90) calendar days ending one day prior to the Conversion Notice Date concerning a conversion under clause (x). The conversion price under clause (x) shall be determined in accordance with Section 6(A)(ii). The conversion price under clause (y) shall be the Prevailing Price, provided, that the Prevailing Price is greater than the Conversion Price. In the event that the Conversion Price is greater than the Prevailing Price, then the conversion price shall be the Conversion Price.
 
 
 
-31-
 
 
(C)
Five Year Call Right. From and after the fifth anniversary of the date on which the Registration Requirement has been satisfied, the Company may from time-to-time issue a call notice to the holders of the Series A-2 Preferred Shares (the “Call Notice”). Such Call Notice, at the Company’s discretion, may be for all or a portion of the Series A-2 Preferred Shares. On or before the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date of the Call Notice, the holders of the Series A-2 Preferred Shares shall deliver to the Company, all, or, in the case of a Call Notice concerning a portion of the Series A-2 Preferred Shares, on a pro rata basis as provided in the Call Notice, based on the number of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Shares held by each holder, Series A-2 Preferred Shares with an aggregate Stated Value equal to the amount designated in the Call Notice. The Company shall promptly thereafter pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount to each such holder equal to the aggregate Stated Value of all such Series A-2 Preferred Shares delivered by such holder.
 
(D)
 The Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall be required hereunder.
 
(E)
The Company will use its best efforts to procure, at its sole expense, the listing of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock and shares issuable as dividends hereunder, subject to issuance or notice of issuance, on all stock exchanges, markets, and quotation service on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted, no later than the date on which such Series A-2 Preferred Stock is issued to the Holder and thereafter shall use its best efforts to prevent delisting or removal from quotation of such shares. The Company will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion or redemption of shares of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involving the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock so converted or redeemed were registered, and no such issue and delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid.
 
(F)
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion or redemption of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock. If any such conversion or redemption would otherwise require the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock, an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the current Daily Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of conversion or redemption shall be paid to the Holder in cash by the Company. If more than one share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion or redemption at one time by or for the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or redemption thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock so surrendered.

The Company, to the extent feasible, shall provide the Holder with thirty (30) days’ notice of the consummation of any Change of Control.

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.

(A) Holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company legally available for that purpose, dividends at the Dividend Rate to be paid in accordance with the terms of this Section 3. Such dividends shall be fully cumulative from the Issue Date, shall accumulate regardless of whether the Company earns a profit and shall be payable in arrears, when and as declared by the Board (or a duly appointed committee of directors), on January 1 of each year, (each such date being herein referred to as a “Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on January 1, 2008. The period from the Issue Date to January 1, 2008, and each annual period between consecutive Dividend Payment Dates shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Dividend Period.” The dividend for any Dividend Period for any share of Series A-4 Preferred Stock that is not outstanding on every calendar day of the Dividend Period shall be prorated based on the number of calendar days such share was outstanding during the period. Each such dividend shall be paid to the Holders of record of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock as their names appear on the share register of the Company on the Dividend Payment Date. Dividends on account of arrears for any past Dividend Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any Dividend Payment Date (including, without limitation, for purposes of computing the Stated Value of any shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock in connection with the conversion or redemption thereof or any Liquidation of the Company), to Holders of record on a date designated by the Board, not exceeding thirty (30) calendar days preceding the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board. For purposes of determining the amount of dividends accrued as of the first Dividend Payment Date and as of any date that is not a Dividend Payment Date, such amount shall be calculated on the basis of the Dividend Rate for the actual number of calendar days elapsed from and excluding the Issue Date (in case of the first Dividend Payment Date and any date prior to the first Dividend Payment Date) or the last preceding Dividend Payment Date (in case of any other date) to the date as of which such determination is to be made, based on a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year.
 
(B) Subject to the following proviso, dividends payable on the Series A-4 Preferred Stock shall be paid, at the option of the Holder, in cash or by the issuance of Common Stock provided, however, that the Company may elect to make any payment of dividends by the issuance of Registered Common Stock on any Dividend Payment Date with 10 days’ prior written notice to the Holder, if the Company is a Qualified Public Company on the Dividend Payment Date. The number of shares of Registered Common Stock to be issued shall be determined by dividing the cash amount of the dividend otherwise payable by the Prevailing Price calculated as of such Dividend Payment Date, provided, however, except at the Company’s option, in no event shall such price be less than the price set on the Issue Date; provided, further, if the Company shall combine, subdivide or reclassify its Common Stock, or shall declare any dividend payable in shares of its Common Stock, or shall take any other action of a similar nature affecting such shares, the number of shares of Registered Common Stock to be issued shall be adjusted to the extent appropriate to reflect such event, including appropriate adjustments to account for any such event that occurs during the period used for calculating such Prevailing Price. The number of shares of Registered Common Stock to be issued as a dividend shall be rounded to the nearest whole share after aggregating all shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock owned by a Holder.
 
 
 
-39-
 
 
(C)  If, on any Dividend Payment Date, the Company fails to pay dividends, then until the dividends that were scheduled to be paid on such date are paid, such dividends shall cumulate, but shall not accrue additional dividends. Unpaid dividends for any period less than a full Dividend Period shall cumulate on a day to day basis and shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year.
 
(D) So long as any shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, (i) the Company, except for the payment of dividends or other cash distributions under a joint venture agreement or other strategic alliance with respect to which the Company and/or a Subsidiary is a party, shall not and shall not allow its Subsidiaries to declare or pay any dividend whatsoever, whether in cash, property or otherwise, set aside any cash or property for the payment of dividends, or make any other distribution on any Parity Securities, except for dividends paid to the Company or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries and dividends paid on the Series A Preferred Shares or (ii) the Company shall not and shall not allow its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for value or set aside any cash or property for the repurchase or redemption of any Junior Securities or Parity Securities, unless in each such case all dividends to which the Holders of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock shall have been entitled to receive for all previous Dividend Periods shall have been paid.
 
(E) Subject to the immediately following sentence, the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any dividend on the Series A-4 Preferred Stock such amounts as the Company is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such dividend under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any other provision of state, local or foreign tax law. In the event the Company or the Holder elects, pursuant to Section 3(B), to pay or be paid, as the case may be, a dividend on the Series A-4 Preferred Stock by issuing Registered Common Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, to a Holder, (i) the Company shall deliver the number of shares of Registered Common Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, that would be delivered to a Holder pursuant to Section 3(B) in the absence of any requirement under applicable law to deduct and withhold any amount with respect to such dividend and (ii) on the Business Day following the Dividend Payment Date, Holder shall transfer to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to what the Company is required under applicable law to deduct and withhold with respect to such dividend. For purposes of determining the withholding amount, the dividend value shall be determined under Section 3(B) hereof.
 
 
 
-40-
 
 
4. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any Liquidation, after payment or provision for payment by the Company of the debts and other liabilities of the Company and the liquidation preference of any Senior Securities that rank senior to the Series A-4 Preferred Stock with respect to distributions upon Liquidation, each Holder shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash for each share of the then outstanding Series A-4 Preferred Stock held by such Holder equal to the greater of (a) the Stated Value per share to and including the date full payment is tendered to the Holders with respect to such Liquidation, and (b) the amount the Holders would have received if the Holders had converted all outstanding shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock into Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(A) hereof, in each case as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such Liquidation (the “Liquidation Preference”), before any distribution shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities (and any Senior Securities or Parity Securities that, with respect to distributions upon Liquidation, rank junior to the Series A-4 Preferred Stock) upon the Liquidation of the Company. In case the assets of the Company available for payment to the Holders are insufficient to pay the full Liquidation Preference on all outstanding shares of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock and all outstanding shares of Parity Securities and Senior Securities that, with respect to distributions upon Liquidation, are pari passu with the Series A-4 Preferred Stock in the amounts to which the holders of such shares are entitled, then the entire assets of the Company available for payment to the Holders and to the holders of such Parity Securities and Senior Securities shall be distributed ratably among the Holders of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock and the holders of such Parity Securities and Senior Securities, based upon the aggregate amount due on such shares upon Liquidation. Written notice of any Liquidation of the Company, stating a payment date and the place where the distributable amounts shall be payable, shall be given by facsimile and overnight delivery not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the payment date stated therein, to the Holders of record of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock, if any, at their respective addresses as the same shall appear on the books of the Company.
 
5. Voting Rights. The Holders shall have the following voting rights with respect to the Series A-4 Preferred Stock:
 
(A) Each share of Series A-4 Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to the voting rights specified in Section 5(B) and no other voting rights except as required by law.
 
(B) The consent of the Holders of at least a Majority of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single class with one vote per share, in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or at an annual or a special meeting of such Holders called for the purpose, shall be necessary to:

2.
reduce the amount payable to the holders of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, or change the relative seniority of the liquidation preferences of the holders of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock to the rights upon liquidation of the holders of any other capital stock of the Company;
 
3.

-42-

General. Shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock are convertible at the option of the Holder thereof at any time, from time to time, in whole or in part, as follows:
 
A.

B.
As soon as practicable after each such conversion of Series A-4 Preferred Stock, but not later than five (5) Business Days from the receipt of the Conversion Notice, the Company shall deliver to such Holder at the address specified in the Conversion Notice the Conversion Stock Amount of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Registered Common Stock (or Other Securities or, with such Holder's express written consent, unregistered Common Stock).
 
C.
Notwithstanding anything in the Certificate to the contrary, if such Holder does not consent to accept unregistered Common Stock, then such Holder’s Notice of Conversion shall be deemed, without any further action, to have been withdrawn. Moreover, in no event, shall any conversion under the Certificate be settled in cash.
 
(ii)
Conversion for stock. Subject to the previous sub-paragraph, such shares of stock shall be converted into that number of shares of Registered Common Stock (or at the sole election of the Holder, unregistered Common Stock) equal to (A) the aggregate Stated Value of such shares divided by (B) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Stock Amount”). It shall be a condition of either the Company or the converting Holder's obligation to close the conversion of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock that such conversion be in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws and any applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, shall have expired or been terminated without litigation having been commenced that is continuing, or threat of litigation having been made that remains unresolved, by the United States Department of Justice or the United States Federal Trade Commission.
 
 
 
-43-

(iv)
Partial conversion. If any conversion is for only part of the shares represented by the certificate surrendered, the Company shall send a new Series A-4 Preferred Stock certificate of like tenor via certified or registered mail RRR or reputable overnight courier to such address specified by the Holder, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock which have not been converted.
 
(B)
Procedure for Conversion by the Company.
 
(i)
Conversion by the Company. Shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock may be converted by the Company (a “Company Conversion”) in whole or in part for Common Stock as follows
 
A.
From and after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company may require the Holders to convert, on a pro rata basis as among the holders of Series A-4 Preferred Shares, shares of Series A-4 Preferred Shares held by such holders on any of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year by delivering a conversion notice to the Holders, at least ten (10) days prior to such conversion and substantially in the form as provided by the Company (a “Company Conversion Notice”), provided that (x) the average of the Daily Market Prices of the Common Stock for the ninety (90) calendar days ended immediately prior to such Conversion Notice is an amount greater than two hundred twenty percent (220%) of the Conversion Price or (y) after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Prevailing Price shall be an amount greater than the Issue Date Price. The number of Series A Preferred Shares so converted under clause (x) may not exceed the number that would be converted for a quantity of shares of Common Stock greater than eight (8) times the average daily reported volume of trading in the Common Stock on all national securities exchanges, Nasdaq market, service, and/or reported through the AMEX as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (or by such other Person as the Company may select) during the ninety (90) calendar days ending one day prior to the Conversion Notice Date concerning a conversion under clause (x). The Conversion Price and the Conversion Stock Amount under clause (x) shall be determined in accordance with Section 6(A)(ii). The conversion price under clause (y) shall be the Prevailing Price, if the Prevailing Price is greater than the Conversion Price and shall be the Conversion Price if the Conversion Price is greater than the Prevailing Price. The Conversion Stock Amount under clause (y) shall be determined in accordance with Section 6(A)(ii), using the conversion price as determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.
 
 
 
-44-
 
 
(C)
Five Year Call Right. From and after the fifth anniversary of the date on which the Registration Requirement has been satisfied, the Company may from time-to-time issue a call notice to the holders of the Series A-4 Preferred Shares (the “Call Notice”). Such Call Notice, at the Company’s discretion, may be for all or a portion of the Series A-4 Preferred Shares. On or before the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date of the Call Notice, the holders of the Series A-4 Preferred Shares shall deliver to the Company, all, or, in the case of a Call Notice concerning a portion of the Series A-4 Preferred Shares, on a pro rata basis as provided in the Call Notice, based on the number of shares of Series A-4 Preferred Shares held by each holder, Series A-4 Preferred Shares with an aggregate Stated Value equal to the amount designated in the Call Notice. The Company shall promptly thereafter pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount to each such holder equal to the aggregate Stated Value of all such Series A-4 Preferred Shares delivered by such holder.
 
(D)
 The Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall be required hereunder.
 
(E)
The Company will use its best efforts to procure, at its sole expense, the listing of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock and shares issuable as dividends hereunder, subject to issuance or notice of issuance, on all stock exchanges, markets, and quotation service on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted, no later than the date on which such Series A-4 Preferred Stock is issued to the Holder and thereafter shall use its best efforts to prevent delisting or removal from quotation of such shares. The Company will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion or redemption of shares of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involving the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock so converted or redeemed were registered, and no such issue and delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid.
 
(F)
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion or redemption of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock. If any such conversion or redemption would otherwise require the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock, an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the current Daily Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of conversion or redemption shall be paid to the Holder in cash by the Company. If more than one share of Series A-4 Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion or redemption at one time by or for the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or redemption thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock so surrendered.

If Holder does not exercise its rights during such fifteen (15) day period, all rights under the Series A-4 Preferred Stock shall terminate and the Series A-4 Preferred Stock shall be deemed cancelled. The Company, to the extent feasible, shall provide the Holder with thirty (30) days’ notice of the consummation of any Change of Control.

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.
 
(ii)
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 6(H) 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 description of any such shares of Common Stock shall be considered on issue or sale of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 6(H), the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) actually issued and outstanding.
 
7. Status of Converted and Redeemed Shares; Limitations on Series A-4 Preferred Stock.

A.            
Change any of the rights, preferences or privileges of Holders. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, such change includes any action that would:
 
1. Reduce the Dividend Rate on the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, or make such dividends non-cumulative, or defer the date from which dividends will accrue, or cancel accrued and unpaid dividends, or change the relative seniority rights of the Holders of Series B-2 Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends in relation to the holders of any other Capital Stock of the Corporation;
 
2. Reduce the amount payable to the Holders of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, or change the relative seniority of the liquidation preferences of the Holders of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock to the rights upon Liquidation of the holders of any other Capital Stock of the Corporation;

In case the assets of the Corporation available for payment to the Holders are insufficient to pay the full outstanding shares of Parity Securities and Senior Securities that, with respect to distribution upon Liquidation, are pari passu with the Series B-2 Preferred Stock in the amounts to which the holders of such shares are entitled, then the entire assets of the Company available for payment to the Holders and to the holders of such Parity Securities and Senior Securities shall be distributed ratably among the Holders of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock and the holders of such Parity Securities and Senior Securities, based upon the aggregate amount due on such shares upon Liquidation. Written notice of any Liquidation of the Corporation, stating a payment date and the place where the distributable amounts shall be payable, shall be given by facsimile and overnight delivery not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the payment date stated therein, to the Holders of record of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, if any, at their respective addresses as the same shall appear on the books of the Corporation.

Section 6. Conversion.
 
(a) Conversions at Option of Holder. On or after the Share Authorization Date, each share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall be, convertible by the Holder thereof into a number of Conversion Shares of the Corporation equal to the Stated Value of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock to be converted divided by $0.10, as adjusted for stock splits, combinations, and reclassifications (“Preferred Conversion Price”). Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation at its principal office conversion notice in the form attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”) as fully and originally executed by the Holder, together with the delivery by the Holder to the Corporation of the stock certificate(s) representing the number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock so converted, with such stock certificates being duly endorsed in full for transfer to the Corporation or with an applicable stock power duly executed by the Holder in the manner and form as deemed reasonable by the transfer agent of the Common Stock. Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue, the stock certificate number and the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock represented thereby which are accompanying the Notice of Conversion, and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to three (3) Trading Days after the date the Holder delivers such Notice of Conversion and the applicable stock certificates to the Corporation (the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be three (3) Trading Days immediately following the date that such Notice of Conversion and applicable stock certificates are delivered to the Corporation.
 
(b) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series B-2 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 Series B-2 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, non-converted shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates, so long as such shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock are not convertible within sixty (60) days from the date of such determination, and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Corporation (including the Warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates, so long as such other securities of the Corporation are not exercisable nor convertible within sixty (60) days from the date of such determination.  For purposes of this Section 6(b), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Section 6(b), 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 annual or quarterly periodic report filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act; (B) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation; or (C) any other written notice by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock 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 Series B-2 Preferred Stock, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was publicly reported by the Corporation.  The provisions of this Section 6(b) may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than sixty one (61) days’ prior notice to the Corporation, and the provisions of this Section 6(b) 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).

(c) Mechanics of Conversion
 
(A)            
Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. At all times after the Share Authorization Date, the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder, not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”): (1) a certificate or certificates representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, and (2) either (1) 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) or (2) such number of additional shares of Common Stock equal to (W) the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends divided by (X) the Preferred Conversion Price. At the option of the Holder, with such Holder’s express written consent, the Company shall deliver unregistered Common Stock after the Share Authorization Date but prior to the Effective Date of the Registration Statement.   At any time after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall deliver the Conversion Shares to Holder electronically to Holder’s applicable account at the Depository Trust Company.
 
(B)            
Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion.
 
1. At all times after the Share Authorization Date, the Corporation covenants that it will reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series B-2 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 the Common Stock as shall (subject to any additional requirements of the Corporation as to reservation of such shares set forth in the Subscription Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B-2 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.
 
2. The Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall not be converted at any time prior to the Share Authorization Date.
 
(C)            
Fractional Shares. Upon a conversion hereunder, the Corporation shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock. The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole Conversion Share.
 
 
 
-57-
 
 
(D)            
Transfer Taxes.  The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of the Series B-2 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 Corporation 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 Series B-2 Preferred Stock so converted and the Corporation 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 Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.
 
(E)            
Holder of Record. Each conversion of Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been effected immediately before the close of business on the Business Day on which the Conversion Notice is delivered, and at such time the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion as provided herein shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof.
 
(F)            
Partial Conversion. If any conversion is for only part of the shares represented by the certificate surrendered, the Corporation shall send a new Series B-2 Preferred Stock certificate of like tenor via certified or registered mail or reputable overnight courier to such address specified by the Holder, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock which have not been converted.
 
(d) Conversion by the Corporation.   At any time on or after (i) the Share Authorization Date and (ii) the shares of Common Stock have traded at an average VWAP for ten (10) Trading Days at a level at least equal to 250% of the Preferred Conversion Price, the Corporation shall have the right, without the consent of or any action by or on behalf of the Holder, to cause all but not a portion of the then outstanding Series B-2 Preferred Stock, to be converted into Common Stock at the applicable Preferred Conversion Price (the “Company Conversion Right”). In the event the Corporation elects to exercise the Company Conversion Right, the Corporation shall provide each Holder of the then outstanding Series B-2 Preferred Stock with written notice of its intention to cause the conversion of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock into Common Stock, along with (i) the effective date of the Company Conversion Right, (ii) the applicable Preferred Conversion Price and (iii) the number of Conversion Shares into which the Holder’s Series B-2 Preferred Stock is to be converted (the “Company Conversion Notice”). Upon delivery to the Holder of a certificate evidencing the number of Conversion Shares set forth in the Company Conversion Notice, the Holder’s Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall be automatically cancelled and shall thereafter cease to represent any entitlement or equity interest in the Corporation. The certificates evidencing the Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall contain a legend referencing the Company Conversion Right described in this Section.
 
 
 
-58-
 
 
Section 7. Certain Adjustments.
 
(a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits.  If the Corporation, at any time while the Series B-2 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 this Series B-2 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, then the Preferred Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the then Preferred Conversion Price by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following the 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.
 
(b) Calculations.  All calculations under this Section 7 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 description of any such shares of Common Stock shall be considered on issue or sale of Common Stock.  For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) actually issued and outstanding.
 
 
 
-59-
 
 
(c) Change of Control. In case the Corporation on or after the Original Issue Date is party to any (a) acquisition of the Corporation by means of merger or other form of corporate reorganization in which outstanding shares of the Corporation are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the Acquiring Person, or its Parent, Subsidiary, herein defined, or affiliate, (b) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation (on a consolidated basis) in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (c) any other transaction or series of related transactions by the Corporation or relating to the Common Stock (including, without limitation, any stock purchase or tender or exchange offer) in which the power to cast the majority of the eligible votes at a meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders at which directors are elected is transferred to a single entity or group acting in concert, or (d) a capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock or other securities (other than a reorganization or reclassification in which the Common Stock or other securities are not converted into or exchanged for cash or other property, and, immediately after consummation of such transaction, the stockholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such transaction own the Common Stock, other securities or other voting stock of the Corporation in substantially the same proportions relative to each other as such stockholders owned immediately prior to such transaction), then, and in the case of each such transaction (each of which is referred to herein as “Change in Control”), proper provision shall be made so that, at the option of the Acquiring Person and upon fifteen (15) days’ notice to the Corporation and the Holder prior to the consummation of the Change of Control, either (i) the Acquiring Person expressly agrees to assume all of the Corporation’s obligations under the Series B-2 Preferred Stock or (ii) the Holder has fifteen (15) days in which to exercise its conversion rights under the Series B-2 Preferred Stock. If Holder does not exercise its rights during such fifteen (15) day period, all rights under the Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall terminate and the Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall be deemed cancelled. The Corporation, to the extent feasible, shall provide the Holder with thirty (30) days’ notice of the consummation of any Change of Control. Subject to the foregoing, on or before the closing date under the agreement entered into with an Acquiring Person resulting in a Change in Control, the Corporation, if applicable, shall deliver to the Holder written notice that the Acquiring Person has assumed such obligations. “Acquiring Person” means, in connection with any Change in Control, (i) the continuing or surviving corporation of a consolidation or merger with the Corporation (if other than the Corporation), (ii) the transferee of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Corporation, (iii) the corporation consolidating with or merging into the Corporation in a consolidation or merger in connection with which the Common Stock is changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, (iv) the entity or group (other than Holder or any of its affiliates) acting in concert acquiring or possessing the power to cast the majority of the eligible votes at a meeting of the Corporation ‘s stockholders at which directors are elected, or, (v) in the case of a capital reorganization or reclassification, the Corporation, or (vi) at the Holder’s election, any Person that (A) controls the Acquiring Person directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, (B) is required to include the Acquiring Person in the consolidated financial statements contained in such Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (if such Person is required to file such a report) or would be required to so include the Acquiring Person in such Person’s consolidated financial statements if they were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and (C) is not itself included in the consolidated financial statements of any other Person (other than its consolidated subsidiaries).

Section 8. Redemption.
 
(a) Automatic Redemption.  In addition to all other rights of the Holders, in the event the Corporation, directly or through any subsidiary, does not complete the acquisition of assets from BroadvoxGo! LLC and Cypress Communications, LLC within 10 days after the Final Closing of the Offering (“Acquisition Failure”), the Corporation shall automatically redeem all but not a portion of the Holder’s shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the Stated Value (the “Redemption Price”), unless the Holder, at such Holder’s option, notifies the Corporation within 30 days after the Acquisition Failure that the Holder elects to receive the Units rather than the Redemption Price.
 
(b) Mechanics of Refusal of Redemption at Option of Holder.  Upon an Acquisition Failure and for a period 30 days thereafter, the Holder may require the Corporation to issue to the Holder all of the Holder’s Series B-2 Preferred Stock subscribed for by such Holder by delivering written notice thereof by-hand, via facsimile or overnight courier (“Notice of Refusal of Redemption”) to the Company.  The Company shall then be obligated to issue the Series B-2 Preferred Shares to the Holder within 10 business days from the date of delivery of the Notice of Refusal of Redemption.
