Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
The rights of holders of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical except for certain voting and conversion rights and restrictions on transferability. Shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock receive identical dividends per share when and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors. In addition, shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock have identical and equal priority rights per share in liquidation. The Class A common stock and Class B common stock do not have any other contractual participation rights. Shares of Class A common stock are entitled to three votes per share and shares of Class B common stock are entitled to one-tenth of a vote per share. Each share of Class A common stock may be converted into one share of Class B common stock, at any time, at the option of the holder. Shares of Class A common stock are subject to certain limitations on transferability that do not apply to shares of Class B common stock.
 
Preferred Stock
The Company’s Board of Directors has the authority to fix the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock without any further vote or action by the stockholders.
 
Dividend
The Company does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock until it achieves sustainable profitability (after satisfying all of its operational needs, including payments to the Former SPSI CEO) and retains certain minimum cash reserves.  Following that time, it is the Company’s intention to distribute not less than 50% of its consolidated positive net earnings available for distribution to its stockholders.  Distributions will be subject to the need to retain earnings for investment in growth opportunities or the acquisition of complementary assets.  The nature of the Company’s operations is that, in the short term until its enforcement and licensing, leasing and sales programs become more firmly established, the Company does not anticipate generating meaningful cash flows.  The payment of dividends in any specific period will be at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.
