Significant terms of the Series A preferred stock, as specified in the Certificate of Designation are as follows:

 

Conversion

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock may, at the holder’s option, convert into common stock (“voluntary conversion”). The conversion rate is equal to the sum of the state value of the preferred shares plus all accrued and unpaid dividends divided by $0.83, the conversion price.  Subject to the specified provisions, the Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into  common stock with an $0.83 conversion price on the Mandatory Conversion Date, as defined in the Certificate of Designation.  As specified in the Mandatory Conversion Date is the first date at least six (6) months after the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock on which each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied: (x) the Corporation shall have consummated, on or prior to such date, a Qualified Financing for aggregate gross proceeds to the Corporation of $7,000,000, (y) the volume weighted average trading price for the Common Stock for each day on thirty (30) consecutive trading days immediately preceding such date, as published by Bloomberg, must be above a price of $1.50 (“VWAP”) and the trading volume over that period must exceed 1,500,000 shares, and (z) as of such date, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to an effective registration statement or are otherwise eligible for sale under Rule 144 of the Act.  As of December 31, 2012, no mandatory conversion has taken place as all of the conditions required for conversion have not occurred.

(b) Payment of Dividends.  The Company shall be required to pay all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock semi-annually on each June 30 and December 31 of each calendar year.  All such dividends shall be paid in cash; provided, that, at the option of the Company, the Company may pay any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Series A Preferred  Stock, with each share of Series A Preferred Stock being valued for this purpose at the Stated Value in effect on the date of payment.
