D. Liquidation Preference. The Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have a first position lien against all of the Corporation’s assets, including but not limited to its intellectual property. If the Corporation shall commence a voluntary case under the U.S. Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any law or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any substantial part of its property, or make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or if a decree or order for relief in respect of the Corporation shall be entered by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under the U.S. Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law resulting in the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and any such decree or order shall be unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days and, on account of any such event, the Corporation shall liquidate, dissolve or wind up, or if the Corporation shall otherwise liquidate, dissolve or wind up, including, but not limited to, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets in one transaction or in a series of related transactions (a “Liquidation Event”), no distribution shall be made to the holders of any shares of capital stock of the Corporation (other than Senior Securities and Pari Passu Securities) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up unless prior thereto the Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have received the Liquidation Preference (as defined below) with respect to each share. If, upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the assets and funds available for distribution among the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Holders of Pari Passu Securities shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the preferential amounts payable thereon, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the Series A Preferred Stock and the Pari Passu Securities shall be distributed ratably among such shares in proportion to the ratio that the Liquidation Preference payable on each such share bears to the aggregate Liquidation Preference payable on all such shares. The purchase or redemption by the Corporation of stock of any class, in any manner permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be regarded as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other entity nor the sale or transfer by the Corporation of substantially all of its assets shall, for the purposes hereof, be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. The “Liquidation Preference” with respect to a share of Series A Preferred Stock means an amount equal to the ratio of (a) the total amount of the Corporation’s assets and funds available for distribution to the Series A Preferred Stock to (b) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.
E. Conversion.
(1) Each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into one hundred thousand (100,000) shares (“Conversion Ratio”) of the Corporation’s common stock (“Common Stock”), at the option of the Holder in whole or in part, at any time commencing after the Issuance Date; The Holder shall effect conversions by sending a conversion notice (the “Notice of Conversion”) in the manner set forth herein. Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted. The date on which such conversion is to be effected (the “Conversion Date”) shall be on the date the Notice of Conversion is delivered pursuant to this section. Except as provided herein, each Notice of Conversion, once given, shall be irrevocable. Upon the entire conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the certificates for such Series A Preferred Stock shall be returned to the Corporation for cancellation.
(2) Not later than ten (10) Business Days after the Conversion Date, the Corporation will deliver to the Holder (a) a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and (b) once received from the Corporation, the Series A Preferred Stock in principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Series A Preferred Stock not converted; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Series A Preferred Stock until the Series A Preferred Stock are either delivered for conversion to the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock, or the Holder notifies the Corporation that such Series A Preferred Stock certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and provides an agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. In the case of a conversion pursuant to a Notice of Conversion, if such certificate or certificates are not delivered by the date required under this section, the Holder shall be entitled, by providing written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Corporation shall immediately return the Series A Preferred Stock tendered for conversion.
(3) (a) If the Corporation, at any time while any Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, (i) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Junior Securities (as defined below) payable in shares of its capital stock (whether payable in shares of its Common Stock or of capital stock of any class), (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, the Conversion Ratio designated herein shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(b) If the Corporation, at any time while Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders of Series A Preferred Stock) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion Price at which each Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible shall be determined by multiplying the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Per Share Market Value of Common Stock determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such Per Share Market Value of the Common Stock on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
(c) All calculations under this Article XIV shall be made to the nearest 1/1,000th of a cent or the nearest 1/1,000th of a share, as the case may be. Any calculation resulting in a fraction shall be rounded up to the next cent or share.
(d) Whenever the Conversion Ratio is adjusted pursuant to this section, the Corporation shall within ten (10) days after the determination of the new Fixed Conversion Ratio mail and fax to the Holder and to each other Holder of Series A Preferred Stock, a notice setting forth the Fixed Conversion Ratio after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(e) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another person, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, then each holder of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to convert such Series A Preferred Stock only into the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange (except in the event the property is cash, then the Holder shall have the right to convert the Series A Preferred Stock and receive cash in the same manner as other stockholders), and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or property as the shares of the Common Stock into which such Series A Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange would have been entitled. The terms of any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the holder the right to receive the securities or property set forth in this section upon any conversion following such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange. This provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.
(f) If:
(i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock; or
(ii) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of its Common Stock; or

(4) The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable hereunder shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
(5) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon a conversion hereunder and the number of shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any conversion hereunder, the Corporation shall eliminate such fractional share interest by issuing the Holder an additional full share of Common Stock.
(6) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock on conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.
