5.2

Issuance of Shares Upon Conversion.

Subject to Section 5.2(b), if any certificated shares of Series C Preferred Stock are converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder thereof, as requested by such Holder, a new Series C Preferred Stock certificate for the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock equal to the unconverted portion of such Series C Preferred Stock certificate.


(b)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender its certificate of Series C Preferred Stock to the Company unless the entire amount of shares of Series C Preferred Stock is so converted.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock already converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of the Series C Preferred Stock certificate(s) upon each such conversion.  In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of shares of a Series C Preferred Stock certificate is converted, the Holder may not transfer the Series C Preferred Stock certificate unless the Holder first physically surrenders the certificate to the Company, whereupon the Company shall promptly issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new certificate of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing the number of remaining unconverted shares of Preferred Stock.  The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of the Series C Preferred Stock, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of a Series C Preferred Stock certificate, the unpaid and unconverted shares of such Series C Preferred Stock certificate may be less than the amount stated on the face thereof.


(c)

In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares, provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depositary Trust Company Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and in compliance with the provisions of Sections 5.1 and 5.2, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (DWAC) system. The time period for delivery described in the immediately preceding paragraph shall apply to the electronic transmittals described herein.

The failure to give the notice required by this Section 11.4 or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any distribution, right, warrant, subdivision, combination, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or other action, or the vote upon any of the foregoing.


11.5

Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.


11.6

References. References to Sections and Articles are to Sections and Articles of this Statement of Designation, unless otherwise expressly provided.


11.7

Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges. All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.


11.8

Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company (including any bond the Company’s transfer agent requires the Holders to post) of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any stock certificates representing Series C Preferred Stock, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Series C Preferred Stock certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver new preferred stock certificate(s) of like tenor and date; providedhowever, the Company shall not be obligated to re-issue preferred stock certificates if the Holder contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such Series C Preferred Stock into Common Stock.


11.9

Remedies Characterized; Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Statement of Designation shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Statement of Designation, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Statement of Designation. The Company covenants to each Holder of Series C Preferred Stock that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof).  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and that the remedy at law in the event of any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.


11.10

Payment of Tax Upon Issue of Transfer.  The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series C 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 Company 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 Holders so converted and the Company 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 Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
