The Series A Preferred Stock does not entitle the holder to vote on any matters submitted to the Company's stockholders for approval except as otherwise required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), other applicable law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, or the Series A Certificate of Designation.

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall accrue dividends on a daily basis in arrears beginning on the date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock at the applicable dividend rate then in effect (the “Dividend Rate”).

On the third Dividend Payment Date, the Company must declare and pay at least 43% of the dividends in cash, and with respect to each subsequent Dividend Payment Date, the Company must pay 100% of the dividends in cash.
With respect to (a) payment of dividends, (b) distribution of assets and (c) all other liquidation, winding up, dissolution, dividend and redemption rights, the Series A Preferred Stock shall rank senior in priority of payment to all Junior Stock (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation) in any liquidation, dissolution, winding up or distribution of the Company, and junior to any existing or future secured or unsecured debt and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company and any Senior Stock (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation).
After the first-year anniversary of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, to the extent not prohibited by law, the Company may elect to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or any portion thereof, for cash at a redemption price per share as detailed in the Series A Certificate of Designation. After the fifth-year anniversary of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock may elect to require the Company to redeem all of its outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or any portion thereof, for cash at a redemption price per share as detailed in the Series A Certificate of Designation.

The Note carries an interest rate of 3.00% per annum for the outstanding principal amount on deposit in the cash escrow account and 13.00% per annum for the outstanding principal amount that is withdrawn and released to the Borrower. All accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar month (a “Payment Date”), commencing with the last day of the first calendar month following the first borrowing date and continuing until payment in full.
