The holders of Series E Preferred Stock rank senior to the Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Series E Designation) with respect to payment of dividends and rights upon liquidation and will vote together with the holders of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, subject to beneficial ownership limitations, on each matter submitted to a vote of holders of Common Stock (whether at a meeting of shareholders or by written consent). Based upon a subsequent financing, the holder has the option to exchange (in lieu of conversion), all or some of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock then held for any securities or units issued in a subsequent financing on a $1.00 for $1.00 basis. In the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the holder has the option to request that the Company or the successor entity shall purchase the Preferred Stock from the Holder on the date of such request by paying to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes value. Upon any triggering event as set forth in the COD, including a change in control or the Company shall fail to have available a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of common stock to issue to such holder upon a conversion, each holder shall have the right, exercisable at the sole option of such holder, to require the Company to redeem all of the Series E Preferred Stock then held by such holder for a redemption price, in cash, equal to the Triggering Redemption Amount (150% of the Stated Value and all accrued but unpaid dividends and all liquidated damages, late fees and other costs), and increase the dividend rate on all of the outstanding Preferred Stock held by such Holder to 18% per annum thereafter. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company an amount equal to the stated value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends and any other fees or liquidated damages then due and owing for each share of Preferred Stock, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities, and if the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the holders shall be ratably distributed among the holders in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.
