Deemed Liquidation Events. --------------------------- (i) The following events shall be deemed to be a liquidation of the Corporation for purposes of this Section 4 (a "DEEMED LIQUIDATION EVENT"), --------- unless the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock elect otherwise by written notice given to the Corporation at least five (5) days prior to the effective date of any such event: (A) a merger or consolidation (other than the Reverse Merger) in which: (I) the Corporation is a constituent party, or (II) a Subsidiary is a constituent party and the Corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, except that any such merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or a Subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation or (2) if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation (provided that, for the purpose of this Section 4(c)(i), all --------------- shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation, or upon conversion of convertible securities outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation shall be deemed to be outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation and, if applicable, converted or exchanged in such merger or consolidation on the same terms as the actual outstanding shares of Common Stock are converted or exchanged); or (B) the sale, lease, transfer, or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any Subsidiary of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except where such sale, lease, transfer, or other disposition is to a wholly-owned Subsidiary. (ii) The Corporation shall not have the power to effect any transaction constituting a Deemed Liquidation Event pursuant to Section ------- 4(c)(i)(A)(I) above unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation ------------ provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Sections 4(a) and 4(b) above. ------------ (iii) In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event pursuant to Section ------- 4(c)(i)(A)(II) or (B) above, if the Corporation does not effect a ------------- dissolution of the Corporation under the Delaware General Corporation Law within sixty (60) days after such Deemed Liquidation Event, then (A) the Corporation shall deliver a written notice to each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock no later than the 60th day after the Deemed Liquidation Event advising such holders of their right (and the requirements to be met to secure such right) pursuant to the terms of the following clause (B) to require the redemption of such shares of Series A ---------- Convertible Preferred Stock; and (B) if the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so request in a written instrument delivered to the Corporation not later than seventy-five (75) days after such Deemed Liquidation Event, the Corporation shall use the consideration received by the Corporation for such Deemed Liquidation Event (net of any retained liabilities associated with the assets sold or technology licensed, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors)(the "NET PROCEEDS") to redeem, to the extent legally available therefor, on the 90th day after such Deemed Liquidation Event (the "LIQUIDATION REDEMPTION DATE"), all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the Series A Liquidation Amount. In the event of a redemption pursuant to the preceding sentence, if the Net Proceeds are not sufficient to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or if the Proceeds are not sufficient to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or if the Corporation does not have sufficient funds lawfully available to effect such redemption, the Corporation shall redeem a pro rata portion of each holder's shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the fullest extent of such Net Proceeds or such lawfully available funds, as the case may be, and, where such redemption is limited by the amount of lawfully available funds, the Corporation shall redeem the remaining shares to have been redeemed as soon as practicable after the Corporation has funds legally available therefor. Prior to the distribution or redemption provided for in this Section 4(c)(iii), the Corporation shall ---------------- not expend or dissipate the consideration received for such Deemed Liquidation Event, except to discharge expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business. (iv) The amount deemed paid or distributed to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation upon any such merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, exclusive license, other disposition or redemption shall be the cash or the value of the property, rights or securities paid or distributed to such holders by the Corporation or the acquiring person, firm or other entity. The value of such property, rights or securities shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. 5. Optional Conversion. The holders of Series A Convertible Preferred -------------------- Shares shall have the conversion rights as follows (the "CONVERSION RIGHTS"). (a) Right to Convert. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ------------------ shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the "CONVERSION DATE" (as defined in Section 9 below), and without the payment of --------- additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (1) the sum of (i) the Stated Value per share and (ii) all dividends accrued and unpaid on each such share to the date such share is converted, whether or not declared, and all other dividends declared and unpaid on each such share through the date of actual conversion, by (2) the Series A Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. The "SERIES A CONVERSION PRICE" shall be seventy five cents ($.75). The Series A Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below. (b) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued ----------------- upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, or round-up to the next whole number of shares, at the Corporation's option. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion. (c) Mechanics of Conversion. ----------------------- (i) For a holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, that holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (or, if the registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen, or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that the holder elects to convert all or any number of the shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such certificate or certificates and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent. The notice shall state the holder's name or the names of the nominees in which the holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her, or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent of such certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) and notice (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) shall be the time of conversion (the "CONVERSION TIME"), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares represented by such certificate shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of that date. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, issue and deliver at such office to the holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or to his, her, or its nominee(s), a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder(s) shall be entitled, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, if applicable. (ii) The Corporation shall at all times while the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; and if, at any time, the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then-outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation. (iii) All shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, to vote, and to receive payment of any dividends accrued or declared but unpaid thereon, shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor. Any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and shall not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation (without the need for stockholder action) may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock accordingly. (iv) Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price shall be made for any accrued or declared but unpaid dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion. (v) The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid. (d) Adjustments to Series A Conversion Price for Diluting Issues. ------------------------------------------------------------ (i) Special Definitions. For purposes of this Section 5, the following ------------------- definitions shall apply: (A) "OPTION" shall mean rights, options, or warrants to subscribe for, purchase, or otherwise acquire Common Stock or Convertible Securities. (B) "SERIES A ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE" shall mean the date on which the first share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was issued. (C) "CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES" shall mean any evidence of indebtedness, shares or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, but excluding Options. (D) "ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK" shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to Section 5(d)(iii) below, deemed ----------------- to be issued) by the Corporation after the Series A Original Issue Date, other than the following ("EXEMPTED SECURITIES"): (I) shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued as a dividend or distribution on Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A Warrants (as defined in Section 9 below) issued as --------- penalty warrants to holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 2 of the Investor Rights Agreement, and --------- Series A Warrants issued as penalty warrants to the holder of the Series D Warrant pursuant to Section 2 of the Investor Rights --------- Agreement; (II) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable by reason of a dividend, stock split, split-up or other distribution on shares of Common Stock that is covered by Section 5(e) or 5(f) below; ------------------- (III) shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued to employees or directors of, or consultants to, the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries for services rendered pursuant to a plan, agreement, or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors (including up to 5,000 shares of Common Stock per month issued or issuable to third party(ies) in connection with the provision of guarantees for certain obligations of the Company); (IV) shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities actually issued upon the exercise of Options, or shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (including the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series A Warrants, the Series B Warrants, the Series C Warrants, the Series D Warrant, and the warrants issued to Midtown Partners & Co., LLC (as placement agent) in connection with the offering of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock), in each case, provided the issuance is pursuant to the terms of such Option or Convertible Security; (V) shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued in connection with a bona fide joint venture or business acquisition of or by the Corporation, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock, or otherwise; provided that any such issuance is approved by the Board of Directors, and, at the time of such issuance, the aggregate of that issuance and similar issuances in the preceding twelve (12) month period shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the then-outstanding Common Stock (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities); (VI) shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other securities issued by the Corporation in connection with the Reverse Merger (the "EXCHANGED SECURITIES"), in exchange for outstanding shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other securities of DeerValley Acquisitions Corp.

(ii) No Adjustment of Series A Conversion Price. No adjustment in the ------------------------------------------ Series A Conversion Price shall be made as the result of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock if: (a) the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 5(d)(v) below) for such Additional Shares --------------- of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation is equal to or greater than the applicable Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance or deemed issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock; or (b) prior to such issuance or deemed issuance, the Corporation receives written notice from the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock agreeing that no such adjustment shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock. (iii) Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock. ------------------------------------------------- (A) If the Corporation, at any time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date, shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities that, upon exercise, conversion, or exchange thereof, would entitle the holder thereof to receive Exempted Securities pursuant to Sections -------- 5(d)(i)(D)(I), (II), (III), (IV), (V), (VI) or (VII)) or shall fix a ------------------------------------------------------ record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility, or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date. (B) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 5(d)(iv) below, are revised ---------------- (either automatically pursuant to the provisions contained therein or as a result of an amendment to such terms) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion, or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion, or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Series A Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Series A Conversion Price as would have been obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment pursuant to this clause (B) shall have the effect of increasing the Series A Conversion Price to an amount that exceeds the lower of (i) the Series A Conversion Price on the original adjustment date, or (ii) the Series A Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date. (C) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible Securities that, upon exercise, conversion, or exchange thereof, would entitle the holder thereof to receive Exempted Securities pursuant to Sections 5(d)(i)(D)(I), (II), (III), (IV), (V), ----------------------------------------------- (VI) or (VII) above), the issuance of which did not result in an -------------- adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 5(d)(iv) below (either because the consideration per share ---------------- (determined pursuant to Section 5(d)(v) below) of the Additional ---------------- Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Series A Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the Series A Original Issue Date), are revised after the Series A Original Issue Date (either automatically pursuant to the provisions contained therein or as a result of an amendment to such terms) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion, or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion, or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Section 5(d)(iii)(A) above) ------------------- shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective. (D) Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security that resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 5(d)(iv) below, the Series A Conversion Price shall be ---------------- readjusted to such Series A Conversion Price as would have been obtained had such Option or Convertible Security never been issued. (iv) Adjustment of Series A Conversion Price Upon Issuance of ---------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Shares of Common Stock. If the Corporation shall at any time ------------------------------------- after the Series A Original Issue Date issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 5(d)(iii) above), without consideration or for a ----------------- consideration per share less than the applicable Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue, then the Series A Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price equal to the consideration received per share in connection with the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock. (v) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 5(d), ------------------------------ the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows: (A) Cash and Property: Such consideration shall: ----------------- (I) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest; (II) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and (III) if Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration that covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (I) and (II) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. (B) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per ------------------------------------- share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 5(d)(iii) above, ---------------- relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing (I) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (II) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. (vi) Multiple Closing Dates. If the Corporation shall issue on more ------------------------ than one date Additional Shares of Common Stock that are a part of one transaction or a series of related transactions and that would result in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 5(d)(iv) above, then, upon the final such issuance, the Series A ---------------- Conversion Price shall be readjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on the date of the first such issuance (and without giving additional effect to any adjustments as a result of any subsequent issuances within such period). (e) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations.
