      Issuer (the “Series B Director”). Any vacancy, including newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors or amendment of the Issuer’s Certificate of Incorporation, and vacancies created by the removal or resignation of a director, may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and each director so chosen shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the director whose removal or resignation shall have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified, unless sooner displaced; provided, however, that where the Series B Director position is vacant the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares may override the action of the Issuer’s Board of Directors by (i) voting for their own designee to fill the Series B Director position at a meeting of the Issuer’s stockholders or (ii) written consent, if the consenting holders of the Series B Preferred Shares hold a sufficient number of shares to elect the Series B Director. The Series B Director may be removed during his term of office, with or without cause, by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares.
 
  (e)   The holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, on a cumulative basis, cash dividends, when, as and if declared by the Issuer’s Board of Directors, at the greater of (i) 3% per annum or (ii) the dividend payable on the equivalent amount of Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Shares could be converted. The holders of the Series B Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, on a cumulative basis, cash dividends, when, as and if declared by the Issuer’s Board of Directors, at the greater of (i) 4% per annum or (ii) the dividend payable on the equivalent amount of Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred Shares could be converted.
 
      All such cash dividends payable to the holders of the Preferred Shares, even if not declared, shall continue to accrue to the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Shares and must be paid at the earliest of any of the following to occur: (A) the Issuer pays a dividend on the Common Stock, (B) the Issuer liquidates or there is a change in control, or (C) upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, but only with respect to those Preferred Shares so converted.
 
  (g)   For as long as any of the Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Issuer will be prohibited from (i) amending, waiving, altering or repealing its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, the Certificates of Designation for the Preferred Shares or any of its other organizational documents in a way that adversely affects the rights, powers, preferences, or other special rights or privileges of the holders of the Preferred Shares, (ii) increasing or decreasing (other than by redemption or conversion) the authorized number of Preferred Shares, (iii) creating, issuing or authorizing the issuance of any equity securities senior in preference to the Series B Preferred Shares, or (iv) repurchasing, redeeming or reissuing any equity securities of the Issuer to which the Preferred Shares rank senior and prior (whether with respect to dividends, redemption, or upon liquidation or otherwise), including the Common Stock, and any rights or options exercisable or convertible therefore, other than repurchases of Common Stock from employees, officers, directors or consultants under agreements providing for such repurchase under certain conditions.
 
  (j)   The Series A Preferred Shares have a liquidation preference to the Common Stock equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the original issue price (subject to adjustment for stock

 


 

      dividends, stock splits or similar capital reorganizations) plus all accrued but unpaid dividends, or (ii) the amount the holder would receive if all the Series A Preferred Shares had been converted into Common Stock. The Series B Preferred Shares have a liquidation preference to the Series A Preferred Shares and the Common Stock equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the original issue price (subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits or similar capital reorganizations) plus all accrued but unpaid dividends, or (ii) the amount the holder would receive if all the Series B Preferred Shares had been converted into Common Stock.
Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or may result in, any of the matters listed in items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D.
