AMENDED
AND RESTATED
CERTIFICATE
OF DESIGNATIONS
DESIGNATING
SERIES B
CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
OF
MDWERKS,
INC.
PURSUANT
TO SECTION 151 OF THE
DELAWARE
GENERAL CORPORATION LAW
MDWERKS,
INC., a corporation organized and existing under the Delaware General
Corporation Law (hereinafter called the “
Corporation
”),
in
accordance with the provisions of Section 151 thereof, DOES HEREBY
CERTIFY:
The
following is a Certificate of Designations which was adopted by consent of
the
Board of Directors of this Corporation (the “Board”) in the manner prescribed by
Section 151 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“
Certificate
”).
Shareholder action was not required.
RESOLVED,
that pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the Board in accordance
with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the
Corporation, each as amended and restated through the date hereof, the Board
hereby authorizes a series of the Corporation’s previously authorized Preferred
Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “
Preferred
Stock
”),
and
hereby states the designation and number of shares, and fixes the preferences
and relative and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereof (in addition to those set forth in the Corporation’s
Certificate of Incorporation) as follows:
|
|
1.
|
Designation
.
This series shall be designated as Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock
(the “
Series
B Preferred Stock
”),
to consist of Three Hundred Twenty-Five (325) shares, par value $.001
per
share, with a mandatory redemption date of September 28,
2008.
|
|
|
2.
|
Rank
.
The Series B Preferred Stock shall rank (i) prior to the Corporation’s
common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “
Common
Stock
”);
(ii) prior to all other series of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock
outstanding as of the Issuance Date (defined below) of the Series
B
Preferred Stock; (iii) prior to any class or series of capital stock
of
the Corporation hereafter created that does not, by its terms, rank
senior
to or pari passu with the Series B Preferred Stock (each security
described in (i) through (iii), a “
Junior
Security
”
and collectively, the “
Junior
Securities
”);
(iii) pari passu with any class or series of capital stock of the
Corporation hereafter created that, by its terms, ranks on parity
with the
Series B Preferred Stock (the “
Pari
Passu Securities
”);
and (iv) junior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation
hereafter created that, by its terms, ranks senior to the Series
B
Preferred Stock (collectively, the “
Senior
Securities
”),
in each case as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution
or
winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary and
payment of dividends on shares of equity securities. For purposes
of this
Certificate of Designation,
“
Issuance
Date
”
means, with respect to any share of the Corporation’s capital stock, the
date such share was originally issued by the Corporation. The Issuance
Date shall be deemed to be the date on which the Corporation initially
issues a share regardless of the number of transfers of such share
recorded on the stock records maintained by or for the Corporation
and
regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence
such share.
|
|
|
3.
|
Stated
Value
.
The stated value of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be Ten Thousand
Dollars ($10,000) per share (the “
Stated
Value
”).
|
|
|
4.
|
Cumulative
Preferred Dividends
.
Before any dividends shall be paid or set aside for payment on any
Junior
Security of the Corporation, each holder of the Series B Preferred
Stock
(each, a “
Holder
”
and collectively, the “
Holders
”)
shall be entitled to receive dividends payable on the Stated Value
of the
Series B Preferred Stock at a rate of 8% per annum, which shall be
cumulative, accrue daily from the Issuance Date and be due and payable
on
the first day of each calendar quarter (each, a “
Dividend
Date
”).
Such dividends shall accrue whether or not declared, but no dividend
shall
be paid unless there are profits, surplus or other funds of the
Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. The
accumulation of unpaid dividends shall bear interest at a rate of
8% per
annum. If a Dividend Date is not a business day, then the dividend
shall
be due and payable on the business day immediately following such
Dividend
Date. Dividends shall be payable in cash or shares of the Corporation’s
Series B Preferred Stock, at the Stated Value, at the Corporation’s
option.
|
|
|
5.
|
Liquidation
Rights
.
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
affairs
of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (each of which
is
hereinafter referred to as a “
Liquidation
Event
”),
and before any distribution shall be made to the holders of any shares
of
any Junior Security of the Corporation, the holders of shares of
Series B
Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out
of the
assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders
an amount per share equal to the Stated Value of the Series B Preferred
Stock plus the aggregate amount of accumulated but unpaid dividends
on
each share of Series B Preferred Stock.
If,
upon a Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds
thereof, to be distributed among the holders of the Series B Preferred
Stock are insufficient to permit payment in full to such Holders
of the
aggregate amount that they are entitled to be paid by their terms,
then
the entire assets, or proceeds thereof, available to be distributed
to the
corporation’s stockholders shall be distributed to the holders of the
Series B Preferred Stock ratably in accordance with the respective
amounts
that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon
were
paid in full. Prior to the Liquidation Event, the corporation shall
declare for payment all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect
to the
Series B Preferred Stock but only to the extent of funds of the
Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends.
For
the purpose of this Section 5, a consolidation or merger of the
Corporation with any other corporation, or the sale, transfer or
lease of
all or substantially all of its assets, shall not constitute or be
deemed
a Liquidation Event.
|
|
|
6.1
|
Except
as otherwise required by law, the Holders of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote
of the
shareholders of the Corporation and shall have such number of votes
equal
to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Holders’ shares of
Series B Preferred Stock are convertible pursuant to the provisions
hereof
and subject to the limitations on conversion contained herein, at
the
record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote
on such
matters or, if no such record date is established, at the date such
vote
is taken or any written consent of shareholders is solicited. Except
as
otherwise required by law, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock and Common Stock shall vote together as a single class, and
not as
separate classes.
|
|
|
6.2
|
In
the event that the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are required
to
vote separately as a class, the affirmative vote of holders of a
majority
of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be required
to
approve each such matter to be voted upon, and if any matter is approved
by such requisite percentage of holders of Series B Preferred Stock,
such
matter shall bind all Holders of Series B Preferred
Stock.
|
|
|
7.1
|
Conversion
Price
.
At any time after the Issuance Date, each share of Series B Preferred
Stock
shall
be convertible at the option of the Holder into that number of shares
of
Common Stock of the Corporation equal to (a) the Stated Value of
such
share of Series B Preferred Stock divided by (b) a per share price
of the
Common Stock of $2.25 per share (the “
Conversion
Price
”).
The Conversion Price is
subject
to adjustment as hereinafter provided, at any time or from time to
time
upon the terms and in the manner herein after set forth in Paragraph
7.3.
|
|
|
7.2
|
Conversion
Procedures
.
|
|
|
(a)
|
In
order to convert any share of Series B Preferred Stock into Common
Stock,
the holder thereof shall (i) surrender the certificate or
certificates for such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, duly endorsed
to
the Corporation or in blank, to the Corporation at its principal
office or
at the office of the transfer agent maintained for such purposes,
(ii) give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such
Holder elects to convert such shares of Series B Preferred Stock,
in the
same form as
Exhibit
I
(the “
Conversion
Notice
”)
and (iii) state in writing therein the name or names in which such
holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of
Common
Stock to be issued. Each conversion shall be deemed to have been
effected
at the close of business on the date on which the Corporation or
such
transfer agent shall have received such surrendered Series B Preferred
Stock certificate(s), and the person or persons in whose name or
names any
certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable
upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the record holder
or
holders of the shares represented thereby on such date (the “
Conversion
Date
”).
No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares will be
issued
upon any conversion, but an adjustment in cash will be made, in respect
of
any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable upon the
conversion of the Series B Preferred
Stock.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Upon
receipt by the Corporation of a Conversion Notice, the Corporation
shall
(i) as soon as practicable, but in any event within one (1) Trading
Day
after receipt of such Conversion Notice, send, via facsimile, a
confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder
and the
Corporation’s transfer agent, which confirmation shall constitute an
instruction to the transfer agent to process such Conversion Notice
in
accordance with the terms herein. Not later than three (3) Trading
Days
after any Conversion Date (the “
Delivery
Date
”),
the Corporation or its designated transfer agent, as applicable,
shall (A)
issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice,
a
certificate, registered in the name of the holder or its designee,
for the
number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled,
or
(B) provided the transfer agent is participating in The Depository
Trust
Corporation (“
DTC
”)
Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the
Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to
which
the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance
account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission
system.
If the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by
the
Series B Preferred Stock Certificate(s) submitted for conversion,
is
greater than the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock being
converted, then the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable and
in no
event later than three (3) Trading Days after receipt of the Series
Preferred Stock Certificate(s) (the “
Preferred
Stock Delivery Date
”)
and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Series
B
Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of shares of
Series B
Preferred Stock not converted. If in the case of any Conversion Notice
such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed
by
the applicable Holder by the Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled
by 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 B Preferred Stock Certificate(s) tendered for conversion,
whereupon
the Corporation and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective
positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation,
except that any amounts described in Sections 7.2(c) and (d) shall
be
payable through the date notice of rescission is given to the
Corporation.
|
|
|
(c)
|
The
Corporation understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares
of
Common Stock upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock beyond the
Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. If the
Corporation fails to deliver to the Holder such shares via DWAC or
a
certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section by the Delivery
Date,
the Corporation shall pay to the Holder, in cash
,
as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $500
of
Series B Preferred Stock to be converted (based on the Stated Value),
$10
per Trading Day (increasing to $15 per Trading Day five (5) Trading
Days
after such damages have begun to accrue and increasing to $20 per
Trading
Day ten (10) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue)
for
each Trading Day after the Delivery Date until such Common Stock
certificate is delivered
.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder shall not be entitled to
the
damages set forth herein for the delay in the delivery of the shares
of
Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred stock, if
such
delay is due to causes which are beyond the reasonable control of
the
Corporation, including, but not limited to, acts of God, acts of
civil or
military authority, fire, flood, earthquake, hurricane, riot, war,
terrorism, sabotage and/or governmental action, provided that the
Corporation: (i) gives the Holder prompt notice of each such cause;
and
(ii) uses reasonable efforts to correct such failure or delay in
its
performance.
Nothing
herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the
Corporation’s
failure
to deliver certificates, and the Holder shall have the right to pursue
all
remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled
to
withdraw a Conversion Notice, and upon such withdrawal the Corporation
shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated damages accrued in
accordance with this Section through the date the Conversion Notice
is
withdrawn.
|
|
|
(d)
|
In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Corporation
fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate
or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon
conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock on or before the Delivery
Date,
and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase
(in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock
to
deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the shares of
Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock which
the
Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a “
Buy-In”
),
then the Corporation shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount
by
which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
exceeds
(y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of
Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock that
the
Corporation was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with
the
conversion at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving
rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option
of
the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Series B Preferred
Stock
and equivalent number of shares of Common Stock for which such conversion
was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of
Common
Stock that would have been issued had the Corporation timely complied
with
its conversion and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if
the
Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000
to
cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares
of Common
Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation
of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence
the
Corporation shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder
shall
provide the Corporation written notice indicating the amounts payable
to
the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable
confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Corporation.
Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies
available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief
with
respect to the Corporation’s failure to timely deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Series B Preferred
Stock as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.
|
|
|
7.3
|
Adjustment
of Conversion Price
.
The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time as
follows:
|
|
|
(a)
|
Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock
.
If the Corporation issues or sells, or in accordance with this
Section 7.3(a) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common
Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned
or
held by or for the account of the Corporation, but excluding shares
of
Common Stock which are an Excluded Security or are deemed to have
been
issued or sold by the Corporation in connection with any Excluded
Security
or are issued upon conversion or exercise of an Excluded Security)
for a
consideration per share (the “
New
Issuance Price
”)
less than a price (the “
Applicable
Price
”)
equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
issue or
sale (the foregoing a “
Dilutive
Issuance
”),
then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price
then
in effect shall be reduced to the New Issuance Price. For purposes
of
determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 7(a),
the following shall be applicable:
|
|
|
(i)
|
Issuance
of Options
.
If the Corporation in any manner grants or sells any Options and
the
lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable
upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange
or
exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of
such
Option is less than the Applicable Price, then all of such shares
of
Common Stock underlying such Option shall be deemed to be outstanding
and
to have been issued and sold by the Corporation at the time of the
granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes
of
this Section 7.3(a)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one
share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option
or
upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities
issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the
lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by
the
Corporation with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting
or
sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion
or
exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise
of
such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall
be made
upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such
Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon
the
actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange
or
exercise of such Convertible
Securities.
|
|
|
(ii)
|
Issuance
of Convertible Securities
.
If the Corporation in any manner issues or sells any Convertible
Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of
Common
Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof
is
less than the Applicable Price, then all shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to
be
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation at
the
time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such
price
per share. For the purposes of this Section 7.3(a)(ii), the “lowest
price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
such
conversion or exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the
lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by
the
Corporation with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the
issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion
or
exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment
of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of
such
share of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of
such
Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible
Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment
of
the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other
provisions of this Section 7(a), no further adjustment of the
Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or
sale.
|
|
|
(iii)
|
Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion
.
If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional
consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange
or
exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any
Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable
for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect
at
the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price
which
would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible
Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional
consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at
the time
initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this
Section 7.3(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible
Security that was outstanding as of the Subscription Date are changed
in
the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then
such
Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable
upon
exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have
been
issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment shall be made
if such
adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then
in
effect.
|
|
|
(iv)
|
Calculation
of Consideration Received
.
If any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other
securities of the Corporation, together comprising one integrated
transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such
Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have
been
issued for a consideration of $0.01. If any Common Stock, Options
or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been
issued or
sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed
to be
the gross amount paid by the purchaser of such Common Stock, Options,
or
Convertible Securities, before any commissions, discounts, fees or
expenses. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities
are
issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with
any
merger in which the Corporation is the surviving entity, the amount
of
consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such
portion
of the net assets and business (including goodwill) of the non-surviving
entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, as the case may be.
If
any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or
sold or
deemed to have been issued or sold for non-cash consideration, the
consideration received therefore will be deemed to be the fair value
of
such non-cash consideration as determined in good faith by the Board
of
Directors of the Corporation.
|
|
|
(v)
|
Record
Date
.
If the Corporation takes a record of the holders of Common Stock
for the
purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other
distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities
or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be
the
date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have been
issued
or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such
other
distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription
or
purchase, as the case may be.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Stock
Dividends and Splits
.
If the Corporation, at any time while any Series B Preferred Stock
is
outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise
makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable
in
shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common
Stock
into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares
of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case
the
Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number
of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.
Any
adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become
effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and
any
adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall
become
effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision
or
combination.
|
|
|
(c)
|
Fundamental
Transactions
.
If, at any time while Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding there
is a
Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter
to receive, upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, the same
amount
and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled
to
receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it
had
been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder
of the
number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion in
full of
Series B Preferred Stock held by such Holder (the “
Alternate
Consideration
”).
For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion
Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate
Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable
in
respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction,
and
the Corporation shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate
Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value
of any
different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of
Common
Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property
to be
received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given
the
same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any
conversion of Series B Preferred Stock following such Fundamental
Transaction. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental
Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor
or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph
(c)
and insuring that the Series B Preferred Stock (or any such replacement
security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction
analogous to a Fundamental
Transaction.
|
|
|
(d)
|
Other
Events
.

customary in the businesses in which the Company and each Subsidiary are
engaged. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has been refused any insurance
coverage sought or applied for and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has

similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that
would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.21
Employee
Relations

the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to any collective bargaining agreement

such
officer intends to leave the Company or otherwise terminate such officer’s
employment with the Company. No Executive Officer of the Company, to the

of
any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information
agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or
any
restrictive covenant, and, to the actual knowledge of the Company, the continued
employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any
Subsidiary to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The
Company and each Subsidiary are in compliance with all federal, state, local
and
foreign laws and regulations respecting employment and employment practices,
terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure
to
be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
3.22
Title
.
Except
as set forth in the SEC Documents or Schedule 3.22, the Company and each
Subsidiary have good and marketable title to all personal property owned by
them

Subsidiary.

Property Rights

The
Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess the rights to use all patents,

improvements or copyrightable derivative works thereof, websites and
intellectual property rights relating thereto, service marks, trade names,
copyrights, licenses and authorizations which are necessary for the conduct
of
its business as now conducted (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”)
without any conflict with the rights of others, except any failures as,
individually or in the aggregate, are not reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a written
notice that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company or any
Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person. To the knowledge
of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there
is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual
Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable measures

Laws
to conduct their respective businesses and (c) are in compliance with all

reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or
foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the
environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water,
groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation,
laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of

subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply,

Internal Accounting and Disclosure Controls

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof and
applicable to it, and any and all rules and regulations promulgated by the
SEC
thereunder that are effective and applicable to it as of the date hereof. The
Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient, in the
judgment of the Company’s board of directors, to provide reasonable assurance

or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to
maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in
accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the

reasonable intervals and appropriate actions are taken with respect to any
differences.
The
Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such
disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating
to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying
officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
which the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act,
as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company’s certifying officers have
evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures as of the
date prior to the filing date of the most recently filed periodic report under
the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in
its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions
of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since
the
Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s
internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(c) of Regulation S-B
under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that
could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls.

established and administered in accordance with United States GAAP and the
applicable requirements of the Exchange Act.

performance of, or to cancel, terminate or modify any Material Contract. The

the
Company and its Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2007. The quantities of each

9.2
Remedies
.
(a)
Upon
the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Purchaser may at any
time
(unless all defaults shall theretofore have been remedied) at its option, by
written notice or notices to the Company require the Company to immediately
redeem in cash all or a portion of the Preferred Shares held by the Purchaser
at
a price per share equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Stated
Value of the Series B Preferred Stock plus all accrued and unpaid dividends
thereon at the time of such request. The remedy conferred by this Section 9.2(a)
shall not be exclusive of any other remedy provided by any Transaction Document
or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or
otherwise.
(b)
The
Purchaser, by written notice or notices to the Company, may in its own
discretion waive an Event of Default and its consequences and rescind or annul
such declaration; provided that, no such waiver shall extend to or affect any
subsequent Event of Default or impair any right resulting therefrom.
(c)
In
case
any one or more Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Purchaser
may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by an action at law, suit in
equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance
of
any agreement contained herein or in any Transaction Document or for an
injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in
aid
of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law. In case of
a
default in the payment of any dividend on or redemption of any Preferred Share,
the Company will pay to the Purchaser such further amount as shall be sufficient
to cover the cost and the expenses of collection, including, without limitation,
actual attorney’s fees, expenses and disbursements. No course of dealing and no
delay on the part of a Purchaser in exercising any rights shall operate as
a
waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such Purchaser’s rights. No right
conferred hereby or by any Transaction Document upon the Purchaser shall be
exclusive of any other right referred to herein or therein or now available
at
law in equity, by statute or otherwise.
ARTICLE
X
CERTIFICATE
LEGENDS
10.1
Legend
.
Each
certificate representing the Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted
with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend
required by applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws):
NEITHER
THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR
THE
SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED
(I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE
SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION
OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION
IS
NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR
RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY
BE
PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING
ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.
The
Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any
subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates, registered in the name of
each
Purchaser or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares and the
Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Purchaser
to the Company upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the
Warrants in the form of
Exhibit
I
attached
hereto (the “
Irrevocable
Transfer Agent Instructions
”).
Prior
to registration of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares under the
Securities Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend
specified in this Section 10.1. Certificates evidencing the Conversion
Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend
set
forth in Section 10.1 hereof), (i) while a registration statement
(including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security
is
effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such
Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such
Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 by
the
Purchaser without limitation as to volume or manner of sale, or (iv) if
such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities
Act
(including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff
of
the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion
to
the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the effective date of a registration
statement covering such Conversions Shares or Warrant Shares, if required by
the
Company’s transfer agent, to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all
or any portion of the Preferred Shares or a Warrant is exercised at a time
when
there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the
Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares, such Conversions Shares and Warrant
Shares, as the case may be, shall be issued free of all legends. The Company
agrees that following the effective date of the registration statement covering
Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares or at such time as such legend is no longer
required under this Section 10.1, it will, no later than five (5) Trading
Days following the delivery by the Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s
transfer agent of a certificate representing Conversion Shares or Warrant
Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the
“Delivery Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a
certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive
and
other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give
instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions
on transfer set forth in this Section. Whenever a certificate representing
the
Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares is required to be issued to the Purchaser
without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing
the
Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, provided the Company’s transfer agent is
participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities
Transfer program, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause
its
transfer agent to electronically transmit the Conversion Shares or Warrant
Shares to the Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser’s Prime
Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system
(to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement).
10.2
Liquidated
Damages
.
The
Company understands that a delay in the delivery of unlegended certificates
for
the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares as set forth in Section 10.1
hereof beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Purchaser.
If the Company fails to deliver to a Purchaser such shares via DWAC or a
certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section hereunder by the
Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser, in cash
,
as
partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $500 of Conversion
Shares or Warrant Shares (based on the closing price of the Common Stock
reported by the principal Trading Market on the date such Securities are
submitted to the Company’s transfer agent) subject to Section 10.1, $10 per
Trading Day (increasing to $15 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after
such
damages have begun to accrue and increasing to $20 per Trading Day ten (10)
Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day
after
the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered.
Nothing
herein shall limit the Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the
Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as
required by the Transaction Documents, and the Purchaser shall have the right
to
pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
10.3
Sales
by the Purchaser
.
The
Purchaser agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates
representing Securities as set forth in Section 10.1 is predicated upon the
Company’s reliance that the Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to
either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any
applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption
therefrom.
ARTICLE
XI INDEMNIFICATION
11.1
Indemnification
by the Company
.
The
Company agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and shall
reimburse the Purchaser for, from and against each claim, loss, liability,
cost
and expense (including without limitation, interest, penalties, costs of
preparation and investigation, and the actual fees, disbursements and expenses
of attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors) (collectively,
“Losses”) directly or indirectly relating to, resulting from or arising out of
(a) any untrue representation, misrepresentation, breach of warranty or
non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or other obligation by or of the
Company contained in any Transaction Document
or
in any
certificate, document, or instrument
delivered
by the
Company
to the
Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.4(i) hereof
;
or (b)
any action instituted against the Purchaser or its affiliates, by any
stockholder of the Company who is not an affiliate of the Purchaser, with
respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
(unless such action is based upon a breach of the Purchaser’s representations,
warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or
understandings the Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any
violations by the Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct
by the Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct
or malfeasance).
11.2
Indemnification
by the Purchaser
.
Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its
subsidiaries and shall reimburse the Company and its Subsidiaries for, from
and
against each Loss directly or indirectly relating to, resulting from or arising
out of any untrue representation, misrepresentation, breach of warranty or
non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or other obligation by or of the
Purchaser contained in any Transaction Document delivered to the Company or
any
of its subsidiaries pursuant thereto.
11.3
Procedure
.
(a)
The
indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of any claim,
demand, action or proceeding for which indemnification will be sought under
this
Agreement; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification
hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying
party of its obligations under this Article XI except to the extent that the
indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.
(b)
In
case
any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party
in
respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party
shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable, good-faith
judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it and the
indemnifying party exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim
(in
which case the indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees
and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified party), to assume
the
defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.
If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the
indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense (but not
control) with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense (except that
the indemnifying party shall remain responsible for the reasonable fees and
expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified party in the event in
the
reasonable, good-faith judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest
between it and the indemnifying party exists).
(c)
In
the
event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will
contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty
(30)
days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person
of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense,
any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after
it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option,
defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any
event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume
and
does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the
indemnified party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or
compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be Losses subject
to
indemnification hereunder.
(d)
The
parties shall cooperate fully with each other in connection with any negotiation
or defense of any such action or claim and shall furnish to the other party
all
information reasonably available to such party which relates to such action
or
claim. The each party shall keep the other party fully apprised at all times
as
to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect
thereto.
(e)
Notwithstanding
anything in this Article XI to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not,
without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any
claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes
any
future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an
unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to
the
indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim.
The
indemnification obligations to defend the indemnified party required by this
Article XI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during
the
course of investigation or defense, as and when the Loss is incurred, so long
as
the indemnified party shall refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined
by
a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to
indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition
to (i) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party
against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the
indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
