Common Stock

Holders of common stock are entitled to

not

have cumulative voting rights. Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the Board of Directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up each outstanding share of common stock entitles its holder to participate in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock.

Holders of common stock have

conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are

redemption provisions for the common stock. The rights of the holders of common stock are subject to any rights that

may

be fixed for holders of preferred stock, when and if any preferred stock is outstanding. All outstanding shares of common stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

$3.00

for

consecutive trading days, our common stock is listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market or other national stock exchange, and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock are registered under a registration statement,

●

the conversion price has certain anti-dilution protections for any stock splits, stock dividends, and corporate reorganizations, and certain other corporate transactions and issuances of securities at below the applicable conversion price per share. The Series A Preferred Stockholders have waived their rights to an anti-dilution adjustment reducing their conversion price as a result of the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock,

●

the shares of Series A Preferred Stock pay a cumulative dividend at a rate of

per annum based on the stated value of
