The Class A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 150 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company. 10,000 of the shares of preferred stock has been designated as Class B Preferred Stock. The Class A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 150 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company. The Class B Stock includes the right to vote in an amount equal to 51% of the votes to approve certain corporate actions, including, without limitation, changing the name of the Company and increasing the number of authorized shares. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Class A or Class B Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Class A or Class B Preferred Stock shall have received $1.50 per share (the “Stated Amount”). The Class A and Class B Preferred Stock shall rank, with respect to the payment of liquidation, dividends and the distribution of assets, senior to the Company’s Common Stock. The Holder (as defined in the Class A Preferred Stock certificate of designations) of the Class A Preferred Stock may convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid Stated Amount (as defined in the Class A Preferred Stock certificate of designations) into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price (as defined in the Class A Preferred Stock certificate of designations). The number of shares receivable upon conversion equals the Stated Amount divided by the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be equal to 75% of the average closing price for the 30 trading days prior to the election to convert. At no time will the Company convert any of the Stated Amount into common stock if that would result in the Holder beneficially owning more than 49% of the sum of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock plus the voting power of the Class A Preferred Stock. No shares of Class A Preferred Stock have been issued. The shares of the Class B Preferred Stock shall be automatically redeemed by the Company at $0.01 per share on the date that Tim N. Tangredi ceases, for any reason, to serve as an officer, director, or consultant of the Company.
