(the “Board”) may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may from time to time require.

 

ARTICLE II

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

 

Section 2.01. Annual Meetings. The annual
meeting of stockholders of the Corporation for the election of directors of the Corporation, and for the transaction of such other business
as may properly come before such meeting, shall be held at such place, date and time as shall be fixed by the Board pursuant to the Certificate
of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and designated in the notice or waiver of
notice of such annual meeting.

 

Section 2.02. Special Meetings. Special
meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called by the Board or the Chairman of the Board of the Corporation (the “Chairman”)
or the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation (the “Chief Executive Officer”), to be held at such place, date and
time as shall be designated in the notice or waiver of notice thereof.

 

Section 2.03. Notice of Meetings. Except
as otherwise provided by law, written notice of each annual or special meeting of stockholders stating the place, date and time of such
meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is to be held, shall be given personally,
by internationally recognized overnight courier service, or by first-class mail (airmail in the case of international communications)
to each recordholder of shares entitled to vote thereat, no less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of such
meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the
stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears in the records of the Corporation. If sent by internationally recognized
courier service, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited with such courier service, carriage and delivery prepaid, directed
to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears in the records of the Corporation. If, prior to the time of mailing,
the Secretary shall have received from any stockholder a written request that notices intended for such stockholder are to be mailed to
some address other than the address that appears in the records of the Corporation, notices intended for such stockholder shall be mailed
to the address designated in such request.

 

Section 2.04. Waiver of Notice. Notice
of any annual or special meeting of stockholders need not be given to any stockholder who files a written waiver of notice with the Secretary,
signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after such meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose
of, any meeting of stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice thereof. Attendance of a stockholder at a meeting, in
person or by proxy, shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when such stockholder attends a meeting for the express
purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the notice of such meeting
was inadequate or improperly given.

 

Section 2.05. Postponements and Adjournments.
Whenever an annual or special meeting of stockholders is postponed to another date, time or place by the Board, notice need not be given
of the postponed meeting if a public announcement of such postponement is made prior to the original date of the meeting. Whenever an
annual or special meeting of stockholders is adjourned to another date, time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting
if the date, time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. If the postponement or adjournment
is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the postponement or adjournment a new record date is fixed for the postponed or adjourned
meeting, a notice of the postponed or adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat. At any postponed
or adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Section 2.06. Quorum. Except as otherwise
provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the recordholders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereat,
present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of stockholders, whether annual
or special. If, however, such quorum shall not be present in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting
or the stockholders present and entitled to vote thereat may, by the vote of the recordholders of a majority of the shares held by such
present stockholders, adjourn the meeting from time to time in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof until a quorum shall be present
in person or by proxy.

 

Section 2.07. Voting. Except as otherwise
provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall
be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder that has voting power upon the matter in question, and any question
brought before any such meeting shall be determined by the affirmative vote of the recordholders of a majority in voting power of the
shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on such question.

 

Section 2.08. Proxies. Each stockholder
entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy. Such proxy
shall be filed with the Secretary before such meeting of stockholders, at such time as the Board may require. No proxy shall be voted
or acted upon more than three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

 

Section 2.09. Nominations and Proposals.
(a) At any annual meeting of the stockholders, only such nominations of persons for election to the Board and such other business
shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting.

 

(b) Only such business shall be conducted at
a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting.

 

(c) To be properly brought before an annual
meeting of stockholders, nominations or such other business must be: (i) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto)
given by or at the direction of the Board or any committee thereof, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the
direction of the Board or any committee thereof, or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder who is a
stockholder of record of the Corporation at the time notice of such meeting is given, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies
with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.09. In addition, any proposal of business (other than the nomination of persons
for election to the Board) must be a proper matter for stockholder action.

 

(d) For business (including, but not limited
to, director nominations) to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder or stockholders of record
intending to propose the business (the “Proposing Stockholder”) must have given timely and proper notice thereof, in
full compliance with this Section 2.09, in writing to the Secretary.

day following the public announcement of the date of such meeting.

 

    2

notice must include:

    4 

     

    

 

(g) The foregoing notice requirements of Section 2.09(f) shall
be deemed satisfied by a stockholder with respect to business other than a nomination if the stockholder has notified the Corporation
of his, her or its intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated
under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and such stockholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has
been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting.

 

(h) In addition to the information required
by the provisions of this Section 2.09 and the information, written representation and agreement required to be delivered pursuant
to Section 2.10, the Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require
to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation.

 

(i) Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws
to the contrary: (i) no nominations shall be made and no business shall be conducted at any meeting of stockholders except in accordance
with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.09; and (ii) unless otherwise required by law, if the Proposing Stockholder
does not provide the information required under this Section 2.09 to the Corporation (or any such information provided should be
found to be materially inaccurate) or the Proposing Stockholder (or a qualified representative of the Proposing Stockholder) does not
appear at the meeting to present the proposed business or nominations, such business or nominations shall not be considered, notwithstanding
that proxies in respect of such business or nominations may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 2.09,

stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder

such nomination shall be disregarded or that such proposed business shall not be transacted.

 

(k) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this Section 2.09, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.09; provided, however, that
any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall
not limit any requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to this Section 2.09,
and compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.09 shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or submit
other business (other than matters brought properly under and in compliance with Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, as may be amended
from time to time). Nothing in this Section 2.09 shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion
of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange
Act or (ii) of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect directors as provided for or fixed pursuant to any applicable
provision of the Certificate of Incorporation.

above) to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation a written and signed questionnaire (in the form customarily

if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”), except
as has been disclosed to the Board, or (ii) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such persons’ ability
to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law;

 

(b) is not and will not become a party to any
agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation,
reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director of the Corporation, except as has been disclosed to
the Board;

 

(c) is not and will not become a party to any
agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or
indemnification in connection with service or action as a director of any public company (other than the Corporation), except as has been
disclosed to the Board;

 

(d) in such person’s individual capacity
and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of
the Corporation, and will comply with all applicable corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and
trading policies and guidelines of the Corporation;

 

(e) is not and will not serve as a director
on the boards of more than two (2) other public companies, unless the Board has determined in advance that such simultaneous service
will not impair his or her ability to effectively serve on the Board; and

 

(f) will promptly tender his or her resignation
to the Board in the event that, at any time he or she is serving as a director of the Corporation, (i) any of the above representations
are found by the Board to have been false at the time such representation was made or (ii) any of the above representations are found
by the Board to have become false thereafter.

 

ARTICLE III

BOARD

 

Section 3.01. General. The business and
affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by the Board, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful
acts and things as are not by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by stockholders.
Directors need not be stockholders of the Corporation.

 

Section 3.02. Number. The total number
of directors shall be not less than three (3) nor more than nine (9), as such shall be fixed within these limits from time to time
by the Board.

 

Section 3.03. Resignation. Any director
may resign at any time by delivering his written resignation to the Board, the Chairman or the Secretary. Such resignation shall take
effect at the time specified in such notice or, if the time be not specified, upon receipt thereof by the Board, the Chairman or the Secretary,
as the case may be.

 

Section 3.04. Meetings. (a) Annual
Meetings. As soon as practicable after each annual election of directors by the stockholders, the Board shall meet for the purpose
of organization and the transaction of other business, unless it shall have transacted all such business by written consent pursuant to
Section 3.06 hereof.

 

(b) Other Meetings. Other meetings of
the Board shall be held at such times as the Chairman, the Secretary or a majority of the Board shall from time to time determine.

 

    6 

     

    

 

(c) Notice of Meetings. The Secretary
shall give written notice to each director of each meeting of the Board, which notice shall state the place, date, time and purpose of
such meeting. Notice of each such meeting shall be given to each director, if by mail, addressed to him or her at his or her residence
or usual place of business, at least three (3) days before the day on which such meeting is to be held, or shall be sent to him or
her at such place by telecopy, facsimile, electronic mail or other form of recorded communication, or be delivered personally or by an
internationally recognized courier service or by telephone, not later than the day before the day on which such meeting is to be held.
A written waiver of notice, signed by the director entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the meeting referred to in
such waiver, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the Board
need be specified in any written waiver of notice thereof. Attendance of a director at a meeting of the Board shall constitute a waiver
of notice of such meeting, except as provided by law.

 

(d) Place of Meetings. The Board may
hold its meetings at such place or places within or without the State of Delaware as the Board or the Chairman may from time to time determine,
or as shall be designated in the respective notices or waivers of notice of such meetings.

 

(e) Quorum and Manner of Acting. A majority
of the total number of directors then in office shall be present in person at any meeting of the Board in order to constitute a quorum
for the transaction of business at such meeting, and the vote of a majority of those directors present at any such meeting at which a
quorum is present shall be necessary for the passage of any resolution or act of the Board, except as otherwise expressly required by
law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. In the absence of a quorum for any such meeting, a majority of the directors present
thereat may adjourn such meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be present.

 

(f) Organization. At each meeting of
the Board, one of the following shall act as chairman of the meeting and preside, in the following order of precedence:

 

(1) the Chairman;

 

(2) the Chief Executive Officer;

 

(3) any director chosen by a majority
of the directors present.

 

The Secretary or, in the case of the Secretary’s
absence, any person (who shall be an Assistant Secretary (as defined below), if an Assistant Secretary is present) whom the chairman of
the meeting shall appoint shall act as secretary of such meeting and keep the minutes thereof.

 

Section 3.05. Committees of the Board.
The Board may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one
or more directors. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or
disqualified member at any meeting of such committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members
thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously
appoint another director to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member; provided, however,
that any director so appointed must be found by such committee to meet the qualifications, if any, for service on such committee, including
any requirement of independence. Any committee of the Board, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board designating such committee,
shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation
and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it; provided, however, that no
such committee shall have such power or authority in reference to amending the Certificate of Incorporation (except that such a committee
may, to the extent authorized in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of shares of stock adopted by the Board, as
provided in Section 151(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “General Corporation Law”),
fix the designations and any of the preferences or rights of such shares relating to dividends, redemption, dissolution, any distribution
of assets of the Corporation or the conversion into, or the exchange of such shares for, shares of any other class or classes of stock
of the Corporation or fix the number of shares of any series of stock or authorize the increase or decrease of the shares of any series),
adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation under Sections 251, 252, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 263 or 264 of the General Corporation
Law, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all the Corporation’s property and assets,
recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the Corporation or the revocation of a dissolution or amending these Bylaws; provided
further, however, that, unless expressly so provided in the resolution of the Board designating such committee, no such committee
shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend, to authorize the issuance of stock or to adopt a certificate of ownership and
merger pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law. Each committee of the Board shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings
and report the same to the Board when so requested by the Board.

 

    7 

     

    

 

Section 3.06. Directors’ Consent in
Lieu of Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof may be taken
without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing or by electronic transmission, setting forth the action
so taken, shall be signed by all the members of the Board or such committee and such consent or electronic transmission is filed with
the minutes of the proceedings of the Board or such committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION

SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

of

FIRST CAPITAL INTERNATIONAL, INC.

(Pursuant to Section 151(g) of the

Delaware General Corporation Law)

 

First Capital International, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), hereby certifies that the following resolution was duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation on January 27, 2016 pursuant to Section 151(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law:

 

RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Corporation by its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, Section 151, the Board hereby designates the terms of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Corporation and hereby states the number of shares, and fixes the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, of such series of shares as follows:

 

1.         Designation and Amount

 

The shares of such series shall be designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”) and the number of shares constituting the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be 4,500,000.

 

2.         Conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock

 

(a)         Conversion and Conversion Ratio. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, and from time to time thereafter, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), on a one-for-one (1:1) basis (the “Conversion Ratio”).

 

(b)         Mechanics of Conversion. In order for a holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to convert shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall (a) provide written notice to the Corporation at the principal office of the Corporation that such holder elects to convert all or any of such holder’s shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (a “Conversion Notice”) and (b), if such holder’s shares are certificated, surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, at the principal office of the Corporation. Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The close of business on the date of receipt by the Corporation of such notice and, if applicable, certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) shall be the date of conversion (the “Conversion Date”), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the specified shares shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Date (i) issue and deliver to such holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and a certificate for the number (if any) of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Stock, and (ii) pay all declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock converted.

(c)         Reservation of Common Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve for issuance and maintain available, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on the Conversion Date. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock is not sufficient to effect the conversion of all shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Articles of Incorporation.

 

(d)         Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Common Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise) into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, without a corresponding subdivision of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Conversion Ratio of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately adjusted. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, without a corresponding combination of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately adjusted.

 

(e)         Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, conversion or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), then, in any such event, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive, each holder of such Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such Series A Convertible Preferred Stock immediately before that change would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, conversion or otherwise, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein with respect to such other shares.

 

(f)         Certificate of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Ratio pursuant to this Section 2, the Corporation at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock a certificate signed by an officer of the Corporation setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Ratio at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of such holder’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

(g)         Effect of Conversion. On the date of any conversion of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, all rights of any holder with respect to the shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive distributions of the Corporation’s assets (including, but not limited to, the Liquidation Rights) or notices from the Corporation, will terminate, except only for the rights of any such holder to receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have been converted, to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversion and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock prior to such conversion.

 

(h)         Status of Shares Converted. Any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock converted, or purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, will be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, without designation as to class or series, and may thereafter be reissued, but not as shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

3.         Voting of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

Each holder of shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock could be converted and shall have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock (except for matters set forth in Section 6 or as required by law), voting together with the Common Stock as a single class and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders' meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the Corporation. Each holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held.

 

4.         Dividends on Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of funds legally available therefore, whether or not declared, dividends in an annual amount equal to five percent (5%) on the outstanding stated value of each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock owned by such holder. The initial stated value of each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be $0.23 per share (the “Stated Value”). The initial dividend shall accrue from the date of issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The dividends shall be calculated as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Corporation (the “Dividend Due Date”), and shall be payable quarterly in arrears (the “Dividend Payment”), in each case as described in the immediately following sentence. All of the accrued Dividend Payments shall be paid in cash; provided, however, that any holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may elect, in his, her or its sole discretion, to receive any Dividend Payment in the form of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, in lieu of cash, by providing the Corporation with written notice of such election at least two (2) days prior to the Dividend Due Date with respect to such Dividend Payment, in which case the Corporation shall make such stock payment to such holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock no later than five (5) days after the close of each quarter. The number of shares of Common Stock which a holder is entitled to received as its Dividend Payment, if it elects to received stock in lieu of cash, is determined by dividing the cash value of the Dividend Payment by the Dividend Conversion Price. The “Dividend Conversion Price” means the last reported consolidated closing price per share, as reported by the Trading Market, on the date the election to receive stock in lieu of cash is made. “Trading Market” means the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the American Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, the New York Stock Exchange, the OTC Bulletin Board or the OTC Markets.

5.         Liquidation Rights

 

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the Stated Value of $0.23 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, together with any other dividends declared but unpaid thereon.  If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Section 5, the holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts that would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full. For the purposes hereof, a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation shall include (A) the acquisition of the Corporation by one or more other persons or entities by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation) in which the holders of the Corporation’s outstanding voting stock immediately prior to such transaction own, immediately after such transaction, securities representing less than 50% of the outstanding voting power of the Corporation or other entity surviving such transaction or (B) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation.

 

6.         Protective Provisions.
