The Board of Directors agrees to amend the Original Certificate by revising and adding the following Sections as set forth below:

 

5. (d) Number of Conversion Shares. The number of Conversion Shares to be delivered by the Corporation to a Holder for each Preferred B Share pursuant to a Conversion shall be determined by dividing (i) $10.00, the par value of the Preferred B, by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect on the applicable Conversion Date; provided, however, that the number of Conversion Shares issued shall never, when combined with all other then outstanding shares of Common Stock and shares of Common Stock which have been subscribed for or otherwise committed to be issued, exceed the number of shares of Common Stock then authorized to be issued by the Corporation, and in the event that there are insufficient shares of Common Stock authorized to permit the full Conversion contemplated by any Conversion Notice, the Corporation will promptly take all such actions necessary so as to permit the full Conversion contemplated by such Conversion Notice as soon as practicable after receipt by the Corporation of such Conversion Notice. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, in no event shall the number of Conversion Shares be less than ten (I 0) shares of common stock for every one (I) share of Preferred B.

 

11. Rule 144. The Preferred B, and the Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred B, which bear restrictive legends as a result of the manner in which they were issued by the Corporation, generally may be sold in the public market (in the absence of registration) only if the sale is made in compliance with Rule 144 under the Act. In general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated with those of others) who has beneficially owned “restricted” shares for at least one year, and a person who is deemed to be an “affiliate” of the Corporation, is entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of I% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or the average weekly trading volume in the over-the-counter market during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Non-affiliates who have held their shares for at least six months are entitled to sell their shares under Rule 144 without regard to volume limitations. The Preferred B and the underlying Common Stock bearing restrictive legends should satisfy the six month holding period required by Rule 144, from time to time, commencing six months year from the date of purchase of the Preferred Stock.

 

12. Legend. Each certificate evidencing the Series B Preferred Stock shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:
