This
Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

1.This
Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer or exchange, except that Holder
shall pay any tax or other governmental charges payable in connection therewith.

 

2.The
Company shall be entitled to withhold from all payments any amounts required to be withheld under applicable laws.

 

3.This
Note may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act") and applicable
state securities laws. Any attempted transfer to a non-qualifying party shall be treated by the Company as void. Prior to due
presentment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is
duly registered on the Company's records as the owner hereof for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and
neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected or bound by notice to the contrary. Any Holder of this Note electing
to exercise the right of conversion set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 4(a),
and any prospective transferee of this Note, also is required to give the Company written confirmation that this Note is being
converted ("Notice of Conversion") in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A. The date of receipt (including
receipt by telecopy) of such Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date.

 

4.(a)The
Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time after 180 days, to convert all or any amount of the principal face
amount of this Note then outstanding into shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") without restrictive
legend of any nature, at a price ("Conversion Price") for each share of Common Stock equal to 50% of the lowest
trading price of the Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTCQB exchange which the Company's shares
are traded or any exchange upon which the Common Stock may be traded in the future ("Exchange"), for the twenty
prior trading days including the day upon which a Notice of Conversion is received by the Company (provided such Notice
of Conversion is delivered by fax or other electronic method of communication to the Company after 4 P.M. Eastern Standard or
Daylight Savings Time if the Holder wishes to include the same day closing price). If the shares have not been delivered within
3 business days, the Notice of Conversion may be rescinded. Such conversion shall be effectuated by the Company delivering the
shares of Common Stock to the Holder within 3 business days of receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion. Once the Holder
has received such shares of Common Stock, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, executed by the Holder evidencing
such Holder's intention to convert this Note or a specified portion hereof, and accompanied by proper assignment hereof in blank.
Accrued, but unpaid interest shall be subject to conversion. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will
be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. In the event the Company
experiences a DTC "Chill" on its shares, the conversion price shall be decreased to 40% instead of 50% while that "Chill"
is in effect.

Note may not be prepaid after the 180th day. The redemption must be closed and paid for within 3 business days of the Company
sending the redemption demand or the redemption will be invalid and the Company may not redeem this Note.

transactions, (ii) a reclassification, capital reorganization or other change or exchange of outstanding shares of the Common
Stock, other than a forward or reverse stock split or stock dividend, or (iii) any consolidation or merger of the Company with

to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company and results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding
shares of Common Stock solely into shares of Common Stock) (each of items (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to as a "Sale
Event"), then, in each case, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, redeem this Note in cash for 140% of the principal
amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest through the date of redemption, or at the election of the Holder, such Holder may convert
the unpaid principal amount of this Note (together with the amount of accrued but unpaid interest) into shares of Common Stock
immediately prior to such Sale Event at the Conversion Price.

 

(e)In
case of any Sale Event (not to include a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets) in connection with which this
Note is not redeemed or converted, the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder of this Note shall
have the right thereafter, by converting this Note, to purchase or convert this Note into the kind and number of shares of stock
or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change,
consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that could have been purchased upon exercise of the
Note and at the same Conversion Price, as defined in this Note, immediately prior to such Sale Event. The foregoing provisions
shall similarly apply to successive Sale Events. If the consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other than cash,
the value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or successor person or entity acting in good faith.

been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option
of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider this Note immediately due and payable, without presentment,

and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

9.In
case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or
unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent
possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby.

 

10.Neither
this Note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the

Section 2.    Designation and Amount; Rank; and Dividends.

 

a)                 Designation and Amount.  The series of preferred stock shall be designated as its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and the number of shares so designated shall be one thousand (1,000) shares (which shall not be subject to increase without the consent of a majority of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”).

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given such terms in Section 1 hereof.

 

b)                 Rank.  All shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall rank senior to the Corporation’s Common Stock, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created, (ii) pari passu with any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created and specifically ranking, by its terms, on par with the Series B Preferred Stock and (iii) junior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created specifically ranking, by its terms, senior to the Series B Preferred Stock, in each case as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.

 

c)                 Dividends.  The Corporation shall pay to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock dividends from net profits or net assets of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such dividends, which shall begin to accrue on and be cumulative from the date of issuance of the Series B Preferred (whether or not such dividends have been declared) in an annual amount equal to the product of (x) the Stated Value of such Series B Preferred and (y) eight percent (8%) per annum (the “Dividend Amount”).

In the event that the applicable Dividend Amount is not paid in cash within thirty (30) days of the relevant dividend payment date for such Dividend Amount (the “Dividend Payment Date”), the Corporation shall be deemed for all purposes to have elected to pay the relevant Dividend Amount in PIK Shares.

then be closed or that certificates evidencing such PIK Shares shall not have been actually delivered to such Holder. In the event that dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock are paid with PIK Shares, each such PIK Share (i) shall be valued at the Stated Value and (ii) shall have the same Stated Value as each share of Series B Preferred Stock with respect to which the PIK Share constituted a dividend.  No dividends shall be paid on any Common Stock of the Corporation or any capital stock of the Corporation that ranks junior to or on parity with the Series B Preferred Stock during any fiscal year of the Corporation until dividends in the aggregate Dividend Amount per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) of Series B Preferred Stock for the current and each prior Dividend Payment Date shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment to the Holders.

 

i.    The amount of dividends payable for any period shorter than a full year shall be determined on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year.  Cash dividends paid on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding.

 

ii.    In the event that the Corporation shall at any time pay a dividend on the Common Stock, it shall, at the same time, pay to each Holder a dividend equal to the dividend that would have been payable to such Holder if the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such Holder had been converted into Common Stock on the date of determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividends; and provided, further, that so long as any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any other preferred stock of the Corporation of any series ranking, as to dividends, junior to or on a parity with the Series B Preferred, unless a dividend shall be paid at the same time to each holder of Series B Preferred, in an amount such that the holders of such other series of preferred stock, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other, receive dividends in the same relative proportions that each would have received had all such shares of preferred stock been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the declaration of a dividend on such preferred stock.

 

Section 3.    Voting Rights.  Except as otherwise provided herein and as otherwise required by law, the Series B Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights.  The Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible shall, upon issuance, have all of the same voting rights as other issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation, and none of the rights of the Series B Preferred Stock.

Section 4.        Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), the Holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation, whether such assets are capital or surplus, for each share of Series B Preferred Stock an amount equal to its Stated Value plus any accrued but unpaid dividends (the “Liquidation Preference”) before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Common Stock, 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 distributed among the Holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.   A Change of Control Transaction shall not be treated as a Liquidation. The Corporation shall mail written notice of any such Liquidation, not less than 45 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record Holder.

 

Section 5.                  Conversion.

 

a)                Conversions at Option of Holder. The Holder of any share or shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right, at its option at any time, to convert any such shares of Series B Preferred Stock into such number of fully paid and nonassessable whole shares of Common Stock as is obtained by multiplying (i) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock so to be converted by (ii) the Liquidation Preference per share and dividing the result by the conversion price of $0.55 per share or, if there has been an adjustment of the conversion price, by the conversion price as last adjusted and in effect at the date any share or shares of Series B Preferred are surrendered for conversion (such price, or such price as last adjusted, being referred to herein as the “Conversion Price”).  Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached

  

-4-

  

 

hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the Holder delivers such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation by facsimile or electronic mail (email) (the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error.  To effect conversions, as the case may be, of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case the Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Series B Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue.  Shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and may not be reissued.

 

b)                Mandatory Conversion. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be converted, automatically and without further action on the part of any person or the Corporation, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable whole shares of Common Stock as is obtained by dividing (i) the  Liquidation Preference per share of Series B Preferred Stock by (ii) the Conversion Price at such time when the Corporation provides written notice to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock certifying that Corporation’s Common Stock has been listed on a national stock exchange such as the NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange or NYSE MKT. Holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock so converted may deliver to the Corporation at its executive office, or to the Corporation’s transfer agent, as applicable, the certificate or certificates for the Series B Preferred Stock so converted. As promptly as practicable thereafter, the Corporation shall issue, or shall cause its transfer agent to issue and deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled. Until such time as a holder of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall surrender its certificates therefor as provided above, such certificates shall be deemed to represent the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Section 5(b).   Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, a registration statement providing for the resale of the Conversion Shares shall be in effect prior to any mandatory conversion pursuant to this Section 5(b).

 

c)                Mechanics of Conversion.

 

i.               Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion.  Not later than five (5) trading days (“Trading Days”) after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Shares”). If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the fifth business after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect 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 certificates representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock tendered for conversion.

ii.           Obligation Absolute.   The Corporation’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination.

iii.           Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holders, not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of herein) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.  The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable.

iv.           Transfer Taxes.   The issuance of  certificates for  shares of  the Common Stock on  conversion of  the Series B Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holders thereof 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 of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock so converted 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.

Section 6.                  Certain Adjustments.

 

a)        Stock Dividends and Stock Splits.  If the Corporation, at any time while the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation pursuant to this Series B Preferred Sock), (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Holders shall receive, upon conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock such Holder would have been entitled to receive assuming such Holder converted such Series B Preferred Stock immediately prior to the applicable 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 re-classification.

 

b)                Adjustments for Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.  In the event the Corporation, shall, at any time, from time to time, issue or sell any additional shares of Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsection (a) or pursuant to Common Stock Equivalents (hereafter defined) granted or issued prior to the Issuance Date) (“Additional Shares of Common Stock”), other than Excluded Stock, at a price per share less than the Conversion Price then in effect or without consideration, then the Conversion Price upon each such issuance shall be reduced to a price equal to the consideration per share paid for such Additional Shares of Common Stock.

 

c)               Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. The provisions of this Section 6(c) shall apply if (a) the Corporation, at any time after the Issuance Date, shall issue any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock ("Convertible Securities"), other than Excluded Stock, or (b) any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities (collectively, the "Common Stock Equivalents"), other than Excluded Stock, shall be issued or sold.  If the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable pursuant to any such Common Stock Equivalent shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price then in effect, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the applicable Conversion Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be adjusted as provided in Section 6(b).  No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent where an adjustment to the Conversion Price was made as a result of the issuance or purchase of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent.

  

-6-

  

 

d)               Certain Issues Excepted.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price in connection with any issuance of Excluded Stock.

 

e)               Pro Rata Distributions. If the Corporation, at any time while Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case, the Holders shall receive, upon conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock or other property such Holder would have been entitled to receive assuming such Holder converted such Series B Preferred Stock immediately prior to the applicable event. The adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holders of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

f)         Calculations.   All calculations under this Section shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.  The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation, and the description of any such shares of Common Stock shall be considered on issue or sale of Common Stock.  For purposes of this Section 6, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

g)      Notice to Holders; Adjustment to Conversion Price.  Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any of this Section, the Corporation shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

Section 7.                  Conversion Restrictions.

 

a)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate of Designation, at no time may a Holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock convert shares of the Series B Preferred Stock if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder and its affiliates at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such Holder and its affiliates beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon a Holder providing the Corporation with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof) (the "Waiver Notice") that such Holder would like to waive Section 7(a) of this Certificate of Designation with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, this Section 7(a) shall be of no force or effect with regard to  those  shares of  Series B Preferred Stock referenced in the Waiver Notice.

b)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate of Designation, at no time may a Holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock convert shares of the Series B Preferred Stock if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder and its affiliates at such time, would result in such Holder and its affiliates beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon a Holder providing the Corporation with a Waiver Notice that such Holder would like to waive Section 7(b) of this Certificate of  Designation with regard to  any or  all shares of  Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, this Section 7(b) shall be of no force or effect with regard to those shares of Series B Preferred Stock referenced in the Waiver Notice.
